    Brain Training sounds pretty promising as a concept, and there is some impressive technology behind the game, but portions of the title are noticeably rough.

    It's a simple game but if taken it on its own merits, The Club should satisfy anyone with an old-school interest in high scores.

    MX vs. ATV is a game that is 'fun enough'. There will be gamers who will find a lot to like, and perhaps even love here, but it's unlikely they'll be coming back in six months time to relive the experience.

    TimeShift is a good game that could have been considered great if it was released earlier. Placed against the current competition though, most of the experience feels generic in execution. Only worth purchasing if you've already played through every other recent shooter out there.

    Dr. Mario & Germ Buster is a solid game that's highly recommended for those who enjoy puzzle games.

    A lot of fun and a soccer game that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you were disappointed with "Sensible Soccer" but want an arcade alternative then you can't go wrong with this game.

    If you like beat 'em ups, you will appreciate this one, but ultimately Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is a love letter to fans of the original series.

    One of the best expansion packs released for The Sims yet. Letting your Sims have their own businesses seems like a natural progression and the business element is deep, it isn't just a tacked on inclusion.

    A quality title that suffers from the fact that it had to be a little rushed. However, the fast game play and addictive career mode kept us coming back.

    And even though it’s a fun action in it’s own right with nice style, nice touches and some panache, the aforementioned issues as well as weak controls and brevity bring down an otherwise solid, if eventually run-of-the-mill third person shooter.

    The game mechanics really do show infinite promise, and even with this first attempt there is some dumb fun to be had – except it takes no more than five hours to complete the game 100%. Yes it is simple, short, easy, shallow and a movie tie-in. But I enjoyed it.

    Lose yourself in the limbs, style and lyrical waxings of Samuel L. Jackson, and the flaws in Afro Samurai won't be so glaring. It might not be the best game ever made, but it knows how to show off and have fun.

    Citizen Brown has the most intriguing story so far, but it's still short, easy and holds few surprises for adventure game veterans.

    Calling Maths Training a game could be stretching it a little, but anyone who needs to brush up on their maths skills or enjoys the idea of small daily maths quizzes will get a lot of value out of this game.

    It’s easy to play, fun with friends and extremely addictive... and isn’t that what the Xbox Live Arcade is all about?

    It may not evolve on its predecessor, but Tom Clancy's HAWX 2 is an entertaining air combat game with plenty of content and variety.

    Singstar Rocks! lives up to its name and is quite simply one of the best Singstar compilations yet.

    Toy Story 3 is a fun romp where you can set aside your inhibitions and play like you are a child again.

    A few issues aside, Battlestations Midway successfully melds a game that provides a strategic action game that isn't your run-of-the-mill WWII game.

    The game also lacks a lot of favourable gameplay elements, and what is there usually feels like B-grade material.

    If you’re looking for a new multiplayer experience, with a blend of new gameplay elements, and don’t mind its limited scope, then The Ship is worth checking out.

    Master of Illusion is a solid magic kit on a cartridge, it's difficult to describe the title as a game but anyone looking to learn a little bit about magic can't go wrong.

    Fans will delight in the more nostalgic and clever moments of 'It's About Time', but it's a short, easy and somewhat bland introduction to the series, which we hope still has time to get a lot better.

    A flawed but enjoyable experience for Indy fans. Much like the last film really.

    A decent, variable and exciting action game and fans of Star Wars have a game that won’t leave them cringing.

    Activision Hits Remixed is one of the best compilations ever - with slick presentation and plenty of nostalgia, you won't find a much better retro compilation than Activision Hits Remixed.

    This is NBA with a little bit less seriousness. Don't take it to seriously and it's fairly entertaining.

    This is the greatest handheld American football game available and fans of the game are likely to be very impressed with the game.

    OK, so it doesn’t do anything revelational or new but at least it does it reasonably well in providing an intense and enjoyable experience. If the idea of playing a modern day Rambo and engaging in mass terrorist genocide, this game has something for you.

    Brain Challenge is a polished and entertaining game that solidly achieves its objective of testing your cognitive abilities.
