    Thrillville could’ve benefited from a little more development time to make the mini-games a little more fun.

    While nothing particularly special is definitely the best Terminator game for a long time.

    Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII is an improvement over its predecessor, but still suffers from a few obvious flaws in its design to be considered a 'must-have' title. However, if you dig flying planes and shooting stuff, this title is certainly worth checking out.

    Hunter's Trophy is a competent hunting simulator, which when you get past the rifle accessory doesn't have much to offer.

    A reasonable boxing title that just arrived too late - slightly dated mechanics, graphical problems and those lengthy cutscenes really hold things back.

    Moto GP is a good racer for anyone who wants motorcylces on the go and is willing to work past the controls.

    Super Dragon Ball Z has some fighting and DBZ, but there just isn't quite enough of either to go round.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Essentially more of the same old same old, and it's starting to wear thin.

    Whilst Full Auto is an enjoyable game, it's still an ultimately limited title that isn't going to hold your interest for nearly as long as you would expect. This is a game you play in short bursts rather than for hours on end.

    Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded isn't better than its predecessor but it is a solid compilation in its own right.

    On the surface it looks like a really good game, but after about half an hour it becomes repetitive and a little dull.

    Unfortunately, most – especially pure RPG fans – will find the game is incredibly simplistic, with the actual gameplay being far too shallow, containing a basic fighting mechanic, an innovative 'magic' system and... Well, not much else.

    WarioWare: Snapped! is great fun with friends, but can be difficult to set up and offers little value for money.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It's clichéd, it's hokey, and the design could have been far better - while nothing's individually or overly poor, the package just doesn't quite work.

    Madden 12 isn't a disaster. It is however, a story about a game full of uncertainty, a game that doesn't know where it wants to go or how it's going to get there.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    There is a very playable game hiding underneath some serious issues here. Whether you can overlook them is up to you.

    PES 2012 doesn't help itself by remaining in stagnant waters, and if it doesn't receive a complete overhaul next year, then we're afraid the end is nigh.
    • 66 Metascore

    Sure the character combination of Crash and Cortex is different and the humour makes for a welcome change, but aside from that the game is still very familiar and hasn't even evolved nearly as much as it should have.

    After last year's effort, it’s good to see the franchise back on track. There are still plenty of areas where it could improve and there is lots of refinement to be done, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
    • 74 Metascore

    It's just a shame the actual game isn't more like the deeper, more realistic 'Army Mode' extra found in the Xbox version and not the limited, linear one we have here.

    Although it sets a new standard by giving players the ability to change Wii remote sensitivity and button mapping, at the end of the day The Conduit is an average run and gun shooter.

    Rise of Nightmares is a decent horror game with great ideas and a spooky atmosphere but is let down by clunky movement controls.

    An engrossing story and above-average presentation. However, flawed gameplay elements make the game less enjoyable then it should be.

    TRON: Evolution is a generic and competent action game that will appeal to fans of the franchise the most.

    The game may not have aged well in some areas, but given its fair price, newcomers looking for a fun and unique arcade experience should check out this port of Crazy Taxi.

    NFL Street 3 treads familiar territory too closely to be considered a must for experienced players.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    With some interesting and fun gameplay ideas, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War is worth playing for fans of this style of game. Unfortunately, its undeniable flaws will keep it from becoming the success it could have been.

    The Tenchu series needs a series reinvention, but Z plays just well enough to warrant a look for anyone with a thirst for honourable blood.

    Turok is a decent game with obvious flaws. Its first steps as a reborn franchise are decent ones, though it's difficult to recommend over so many other titles on the PC market.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Phantasy Star fans will adore the new title, but after Phantasy Star Online the development of the series isn’t as groundbreaking as the aforementioned title, and often leaves you questioning whether the time and money is worth spending when other titles provide much more.
