While certainly not a bad game, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity simply lacks refinement in a few key areas. The controls need to be tighter, and the gear change system could better implemented. Unless you’re a Sonic fan or enjoyed the first game, you need not apply.

As a single-player game Tiberian Twilight is a complete failure, though multiplayer is somewhat redeeming. Though long-term fans of the franchise would do better to crack out one of the older titles and reminisce over the series' glory days.

A solid but basic package of poker.

Nostalgic moments are crushed by poor design choices in an ultimately futile attempt to recreate classic gaming.

James Noir's Hollywood Crimes 3D has an interesting premise but requires better execution and better use of 3DS capabilities to realise its potential.

Dark Void is perhaps worthy of a rental or a bargain price purchase, but apart from this there's nothing here that's inspired enough to entice you.

It’s good for pick-up-and-play or to rent when the younger cousins come over to visit but in essence, there are few redeeming reasons to actually purchase this game.

Whilst this game would have been fairly recommendable six months ago, purchasing it now would be a death knell as the sequel is out next week and features more of everything.

Rush for Berlin plays it too safe, not striving to break into new ground with any new ideas or concepts.

Tekken Hybrid a package that contains a graphically-updated version of a game that was released 12 years ago, a game demo and a movie. Most gamers are going to find the $60 price tag hard to swallow, so only hardcore Tekken fans need apply.

The Warrior's Code isn't as much of an improvement upon it's predecessor as it could and should have been. It still feels like a launch title.

White Knight Chronicles may provide some joy for the JRPG faithful, but it feels tired, bland and uneven in almost all aspects.

We can’t put our finger on it, but Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War just isn’t that fun. Despite having some fantastic features, it’s confusing to see so many games repeat the same mistake over and over again. Poor AI is a curse for RTS games, and Rise & Fall doesn’t do much to avoid this. It’s disappointing that such a fantastic concept falls flat on its stomach due to some minor, but unforgiving, mistakes.

SingStar: Dance seems like a natural evolution of the series, but the actual dancing and Move functionality is poorly implemented. Nevertheless, the tracklist is solid and the game's core karaoke function will provide fun at parties.

Yet another slightly above average Xbox 360 game. It’s decent fun for a few hours in single player, until the repetitive objectives and brainless AI start to melt the mind.

The frequent hit-and-miss nature of the gameplay and the irritating technical problems will probably chase a lot of adventure gamers away. Still, if you don't mind all the issues with the game, you're in for a interesting story and a whole cast of kooky characters.

If you've never built an Empire on your PC, Glory of the Roman Empire is a good place to start. For the rest of us, there isn't much to see here.

Lacks a final polish, the combat and exploration can get repetitive, and the visuals are poor. However, there are a number of minor features which will please fans such as the entries in the Field Guide and Thimbletack’s tendency to rhyme.

Despite it’s shortcomings, Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave should once again please Nancy Drew fans and those who are keen for a simple mystery game.

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command on the PSP just pips the DS version but regardless of some solid ideas and implementations, it's still a missed opportunity.

While a serviceable action RPG, Infinite Undiscovery seems like a developer experiment before their main project is due to hit.

Two gameplay styles, both under-implemented. Only fun for those who don't mind repetition.

While fans of the original and people who are intrigued by the ins-and-outs of rising in a social ladder will enjoy the game, there isn’t enough to grab newcomer’s attention, and everything does become quite overwhelming at times.

New Zealand Story Revolution is still an enjoyable game, but the touch screen controls drag the quality down severely, if you just want to play the original game then it may be worth hunting down Taito Legends.

Juiced was supposed to be released eight months ago, before we'd played all these brilliant racing games, now it just feels like it has come to the genre too late.

A vanilla-flavoured action title that has some fun moments and is better than the average movie-to-game title. However at just five-hours long and with little incentive for multiple playthroughs, it offers poor value for your hard earned gaming dollar.

Tiger Wood's PGA Tour 2006 is an average title that doesn't even match up to the current generation equivalents.

It's not terrible, but in reality, only big paintball fans are going to get something out of this title. Everyone else might enjoy it in multiplayer, but would much rather be playing "Halo 2."
