Link's Crossbow Training isn't going to change your life, but combined with the Wii Zapper, it's extremely good value. For less than $50, you could do much, much worse.

While Virtua Tennis 2009 is still the best arcade tennis game around, it is hard to recommend for anyone who has any of the previous games. With too few changes and a faulty online experience, Virtua Tennis 2009 doesn't quite miss the ball, but it's certainly no ace.

MySims may be a simple game, but it's remarkably easy to approach and watching your town go from a ghost town to a location other Sims want to visit is very satisfying. It's just a bit of a shame the franchise has been dumbed down in the transition to the Wii.

As far as quiz games on the go are concerned, Buzz! Master Quiz is a solid effort for the PSP.

PoPoLoCrois has plenty of personality and charm, but not quite enough to mask over what is ultimately a very easy game.

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.

For those serious about improving fitness and losing a few centimetres, there is a lot to like about The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout, but ultimately a cumbersome navigation interface and occasional motion detection inaccuracies keep it from being a truly great title.

The game features some fantastic ideas, but most of that is kicked in the arse with the terrible execution of important game elements that actually make games good – graphics, sound and camera issues, for example.

Even though it is unlikely to appease veterans for very long, Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek is a more than serviceable adventure/mystery game.

Whilst not groundbreaking, Two Worlds offers some decent fantasy gaming. It's just a shame for the game that there's others out there that do the 'open world' RPG thing better.

Hellgate: London is one of this year's biggest disappointments. It had a whole bunch of great ideas, but squandered them with weak execution, a variety of technical issues and a ridiculous subscription model.

Crash Tag Team Racing isn't as enjoyable on the PSP, but it's a step forward for the Crash Bandicoot franchise, the game is fun whilst it lasts.

It really is just more of the same, and we don't like playing games that are feel familiar when they quickly become tiresome.

Even when one can look past the sugar-coated glaze, you cannot look past the somewhat plain and lacklustre level design, generic puzzles and that it is difficulty-deficient.

Splendid graphics can't overcome the game's steep learning curve, irritating gameplay elements and overwhelming sense of familiarity.

The lack of innovation in Crisis Zone is the real downfall of the title.

Astonishing graphics do not compensate for underwhelming gameplay.

An enjoyable game for the children but also a title that adults can play. The only real disappointment from the game comes from the fact that it is a little too formulaic and the game is over in just under four hours.

A very solid title for anybody with an interest in superbikes, SBK-08 makes a good debut on the current generation, despite perhaps being a little too complicated for the majority of gamers out there.

It's one small step for Sonic, but we're still awaiting that giant leap for the franchise.

A solid, competent rehash of aging material that has moments of excitement scattered sparsely through an otherwise middling experience.

Echoshift was designed to challenge the most devout puzzle fans, a respectable move but one that ultimately alienates fans of the original.

While it's an excellent package worthy of further investigation for those interested in music, it's likely to be quite a disappointment to those interested in buying a game.

Pangya is a fun golf game that brings just enough new to the table to be worthy of a look. Golf game nuts will certainly get a kick out of it, but for those that aren’t big on swinging their virtual club at the TV; this game is probably better served as a rental.

There is enough of a package here to justify a decent portable game and a nice 3-D quest, the likes of which have never been seen on a handheld. If only Medievil: Resurrection spent a little more time cleaning off the cobwebs.

Resonance is a bold and intriguing role-playing game which is held back by an atypically poor narrative and a preposterous difficulty curve which will alienate all but the most dedicated.

Top Spin has been ported to the PS2 fairly faithfully, but the game is already two years old and looked better on the Xbox.

On the one hand it provides some unique experiences and some great moments, with a superior sense of speed and exhilaration. On the other, there are too many instances of uninspired design and rushed completion.
