At its core, you’re playing the game with the SOCOM 3 engine making it seem like an expansion pack with new levels and such. It’s a shame they couldn’t completely fix some of the problems with the AI but it’s still SOCOM and if you’re a fan you’ll find enjoyment through the various gameplay options available.

Unfortunately, it’s not as portable as it could be with stretched load times and no save stat, and the collection in general is not as robust as the PS2/Xbox version.

Good while it lasts. It’s just a pity it doesn’t last very long.

The Bogey Man is a good ending to the series, although it is a little too slowly paced.

At times the gameplay can be a bit repetitive, and the humour isn't as successful as you'd hope, but if you're after more of the same then you'll feel right at home with Serious Sam II.

The characters can be a little blocky at times and the environments look a little pixelated when up close, but the environments are huge and they look like they go on for miles.

Solar 2 is a simple but effective sandbox title that feeds off your addiction to it and delivers an enjoyable ride across the universe.

Though not radically different from the Wii version, No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise remains a blood soaked, mayhem filled title that is definitely deserving of a look-in for those who are yet to experience the world of Travis Touchdown.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 plays much like the love child of Phantasy Star Online and World of Warcraft, but lacking the online component. It may prove daunting for many, but could be the perfect match for those looking for a hefty adventure.

As a port from 360 and PC, Overlord: Raising Hell has some things going for it, and some things detracting from it — more or less creating equilibrium. As a game, though, there's something forgivably enjoyable about Overlord: Raising Hell.

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground does many things right, but frustrating goals and unrefined gameplay mechanics seriously dampen the experience.

It’s great to see more turn-based strategy titles on the PC, but a game that severely lacks depth isn’t going to satisfy everyone.

You will find that the action-packed explosion-fest that is Mercenaries 2 is kinda like a good action film: light on story, heavy on action and sure to keep a big, dopey grin on your face the entire time you play.

Ace in Action certainly took its time coming to the Wii but it's still a great game that's highly recommended to kids.

The Last Resort is neither grand nor awful, offers almost nothing new, and to its detriment is definitely not about Wallace and Gromit.

If you’re looking for something that’s different and is completely about exploration, then you’ll enjoy what Endless Ocean has to offer.

Super Dragon Ball Z has some fighting and DBZ, but there just isn't quite enough of either to go round.

Sudeki had a lot of potential. It has been in development for a few years now and looks great visually but is let down by a slow start.

A highly competent – if not flawed – snowboarding game with a style comparable to no other.

Dementium is an ambitious and solid portable horror effort, and is an interesting diversion for any fan of the genre.

Just what the PSP needs. An original RPG and a template for what other developers should strive for. Too bad it doesn't quite hit the mark in certain respects.

Theme Park on the DS is essentially just a port, but the game has aged well and is still a fantastic title for those who like sim games.

The number and quality of the mini-games makes Mario Party DS an easy recommendation to fans of the series.

After Burner Climax definitely delivers in the explosions, thrills and fun, but much like a Half Minute Hero, it's over before you know it.

Blazing Angels 2 goes in guns-a-blazin', but runs out of fuel rather quickly.

The Last Hope offers a pleasant looking and reasonably playable JRPG experience, no more and no less.

Fans of the series or those looking for a challenge should give it a try but many will no doubt be put off by the clunky control and unrewarding difficulty.

ProStreet isn't a fundamentally bad game, it's just very different to what Need for Speed fans are used to. If you stick with the game there is still plenty of enjoyment to be had, but the game just isn't as fun as previous Need for Speed titles.
