    NOMBZ is a simple shooter that has just a few too many problems to be easily recommended.

    PlayStation Move Heroes works well enough, but it's too short, too easy and too shallow to warrant the attention that you would have expected from of the most recognisable Sony icons.

    Any advancements made in terms of the games strategy phase, and improving the frame rate, have been negated by the appalling draw distance, the poor AI and resulting disappointing gameplay.

    Unremarkable, offering none of the flash or depth of other fighting games based on an anime license.

    The brilliance of Sonic Adventure can only be found within Sonic's Action Stages. The game hardly lives up to the lofty praise it received back in the day, but for what it's worth, Sonic Adventure will provide you with the most entertaining 3D Sonic experience to date.

    Come for the charm. Stay for the roguelike learning experience. Endure for an insomniac's cure.

    Despite a well-developed combat system, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is a generic beat ‘em up title with minimal redeeming features. Unless you liked the first game, there are better Naruto titles available that offer a more pleasing experience.

    The definition of average. It's the same game we've been playing for years, and we really, really want to see this concept evolve into true next-gen gaming.

    Although the three different characters give Enchanted a little charm and balance, its hampered by repetitive and generic gameplay.

    Outside of the few nice gameplay options, Faces of War offers absolutely nothing to gamers that are looking for a fulfilling World War strategy game.

    It might seem a little harsh, but we really do have to punish FIFA for regressing this year - what did EA Canada have to gain by going against the series' strengths? Wait for the Xbox 360 version, or jump to the "Pro Evolution Soccer" camp, but don't settle for this.

    Need for Speed Undercover is just a disappointing game on the PlayStation 3. Without all the technical flaws the game could have been enjoyable but at times it feels like you're in the photo mode, while you're supposed to be racing.

    At first, The Fight seems sloppy and broken, but with practice and patience it eventually evolves into a decent fighting experience. It's still not great, or even that good, but it is at the very least playable.

    If it was released as an eShop title and had greater care taken to the controls, then it would be a much more worthwhile purchase, but as it stands there isn't enough variety or polish on offer in Cubic Ninja.

    Paint by numbers role playing worsened by clumsy mechanics and a lack of ambition, and potential for stronger identity hurt by an absence of any unique selling point. For the biggest fans of the franchise and genre only.

    Buku Sudoku is well designed, and is good at teaching you how to play sudoku. However, there isn't enough in this little package to appeal to anyone other then sudoku enthusiasts.

    While not being a complete bomb, Ubisoft's take on arcade soccer is fundamental flawed.You're probably better off tuning into the World Cup itself rather than sitting down with Pure Football.

    Aeon Flux is your standard movie to game adaptation. It's not terrible, it's just extremely average.

    Average. Not exactly bad, but not any good, either.

    One for renting, and that's only if it really is one of the last options on the shelf. There's a lack of variety, imagination and difficulty here, and an otherwise solid game engine suffers because of these oversights. The less said about the humour, the better.

    Despite having its high points, ultimately Vancouver 2010 is nothing but a generic mini-game compilation.
    • 56 Metascore

    While it gets better as you persevere, the game overall isn't as strong as we would have liked.

    Ultimately, Front Mission Evolved isn't a particularly satisfying title for those who are fans of the series, mech games or even third-person shooters in general. It might be worth a rental if you're a fan of pyrotechnics, but other than that, expect an utterly mediocre title.

    There’s simply not enough to keep players going. If you do manage to find this title in the bargain bin, it can provide some cheap fun on the way to work each morning. Otherwise, you will be disappointed by the lack of fleshed out features.

    Juvenile pleasures, but will not satisfy the mature palate.

    Word Puzzle isn't a terrible game, and at 400 points it might have been OK. At 800 points though, it's basically a rip-off, and word-searches have been done much better before.
    • 71 Metascore

    Far too easy and unsatisfying to do justice to the source material.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Feels like a game with a lot of wasted potential. There are emulation issues and the game takes a long time to get into.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Time Crisis 4 feels like a 10 year old game, the franchise needs to advance and Time Crisis 4 is easily the worst title yet in the series.
