24 lacks the focus and innovation to make it stand out from the crowd, and is yet more proof that throwing as many ingredients into the pot as possible rarely yields favourable results.- PALGN

Rumble Roses XX seems to be more of an exercise in voyeurism for young teenage boys than a serious wrestling game.- PALGN

Empires is an enjoyable game, but we'd like to see it become part of the main game, rather than continue to be a standalone add-on pack.- PALGN

The Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is a package that will truly inspire nostalgia, for better or for worse.- PALGN

A more enjoyable game than its predecessor and a fun game for kids.- PALGN

But those wanting an action/adventure game that offers all the elements needed to create the perfect adventure title will be sadly disappointed.- PALGN

Divinity 2 proves to be a lacklustre by-the-numbers fantasy title marred by a host of technical hiccups on the Xbox 360.- PALGN

The first legitimate contender that Pivotal has released to date.- PALGN

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.- PALGN

An average affair with only minor high points. There’s a big emphasis on explosions which gets old too quickly.- PALGN

Blacksite: Area 51 is reasonable first-person shooter that looks quite nice. However, its short length and lack of ingenuity will keep most away until it hits the bargain bin.- PALGN

Escape from Paradise City tries to bring the RTS and RPG together, but a breakdown in the marriage is caused by a poor interface, lousy AI and a lack of gameplay balance.- PALGN

If you're looking for a straightforward World War II-themed aerial combat game, Heroes Over Europe is worth a look. While competent, there are better flying titles worth your attention.- PALGN

PixelJunk Racers is a basic game, not basic in the sense that it's easy to pick the game up (but it is) but basic in the sense that the game can be a little bit too boring.- PALGN

Mad Tracks not only feels like a game that's designed to get as much money out of consumers as possible, it also lacks a real sense of speed and feels uninspired.- PALGN

Make no bones about it, Splatterhouse is a worthwhile successor to its retro counterparts and a worthy addition to the ever-expanding action genre.- PALGN

A good choice for those looking for a Pool game, especially on the Xbox where there is no Pool Paradise. In fact, this game has a few things that Archer Maclean's title doesn't.- PALGN

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

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

It's a nice idea, it's cute, and it's sometimes fun, but the lack of longevity and control problems mean it's just not worth it.- PALGN

Unless you’re a fan of the anime, then you need not apply yourself to Dinosaur King. Battles occur too frequently, the combat system uses a questionable adaptation of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and the fossil-cleaning mini-game gets repetitive far too quickly. The game is simply a missed opportunity.- PALGN

It doesn't use the 3DS's technology too well and the price is steep given the features of the package, but underneath that, Rayman 3D is still a fun little platformer, if somewhat dated.- PALGN

It's by no means perfect, but Lord of the Rings: War in the North is still one of the better games to come out of the franchise, particularly if you play co-op. If you've been missing middle earth you're bound to get some enjoyment, just be prepared for it to be a little rough around the edges.- PALGN

Despite some clever uses of the Move controller, Medieval Moves is let down by its low difficulty and at times shoddy presentation.- PALGN

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

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes brings nothing new to the hack-and-slash table, nor does it improve on any of the genre's typical features.- PALGN

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

Very similar to its predecessors, that is that it isn't exactly challenging and it won't remain a memorable game, but whilst it lasts it is a decent kids game, and that's who 90% of the audience playing the game will be.- PALGN

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.- PALGN
