There simply isn't enough in Naruto: Ninja Council, but only a select few who enjoy the multiplayer might be able to forgive this.

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.

Velvet Assassin is a decent stealth game, until you're replaying the same sequence for the umpteenth time.

If you're a Shinobi fan or just someone looking for a cheap title to play, you might take away some fun from the XBLA package of Shinobi, but if you're looking for more substance in your XBLA experience, we don't recommend you go a round with this ninja.

It's Dynasty Warriors, but it's hideously ugly and devoid of content, and therefore not worth the two hours it takes to beat.

With little innovation and generic missions Medal of Honor Vanguard isn't a great addition to the franchise. Fans of WWII titles are best off looking elsewhere.

If you like the movies, then add a couple of points to the score and purchase away; if you haven't bought it already, that is. Unforunately, we didn't like the movies, so it's difficult to see past the dodgy presentation and lacking gameplay. Stick with SingStar.

A forgettable safari experience due to its dull and unchallenging gameplay. Unless you’re looking at getting this for your child then there’s nothing that will hold your interest for long.

Spelunkers HD is an enjoyable platformer, marred by an extremely difficult nature that is bound to turn many, if not most, away. If you're a gamer that relishes games with a harsh, unwilling and unforgiving nature, or were a fan of the original title, this is the perfect game for you. For everyone else out there though, save your sanity and stay away. Consider yourself warned.

Dragoneer's Aria could have been a good game, but the dreadful battle system, lacklustre story and average presentation make it very difficult to recommend.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is nothing more than a mediocre fighter that’s hampered by unimaginative waggle controls and simplistic gameplay.

Players would be better off waiting until the show comes around again to spend that sort of money on sideshow games.

Awful camera view, clunky controls and repetitive missions makes this one DS title that doesn't live up to the superhero that it promotes.

A completely unrecommendable mess. Even if you can get past the glaring errors, issues, bugs and problems, there is little that make the game different or more worthwhile than any other FPS ever made.

Party Animals is one of the worst mini game compilations released in the past few years. The game is a sad moment for the franchise.

It is considerably shorter than the console versions and retails for approximately the same price, there is nothing to come back to after the game is finished and unfortunately that will be far sooner than you will wish.

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.

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.

Shrek the Third is a typically generic movie tie-in. Children won't be fooled by the thin gameplay and been-there-done-that feel to the game.

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

With a short single player lifespan, Start the Party! is produced well enough, but is truly a multiplayer game at heart.

A spectacular failure in terms of content and technical quality. Don't bother.

Despite the fact it looks rather pretty, Genji: Days of the Blade is a poor effort that does just about everything worse than its predecessor.

Monster Madness will make you tear your hair out in frustration before it bores you to death.

For 800 MS Points, Crazy Machines Elements is well worth the money, providing patient players willing to overlook its minor flaws with countless hours of fascinating and complex puzzles.

While it does contain moments of fun, playing through The Incredible Hulk will leave many gamers yearning to dust off their copies of Ultimate Destruction and reminisce about how fun it used to be to play the Hulk.

A game like Haze from a developer like Free Radical had so much potential, but there are just too many issues with the end product, making it very hard to recommend.

With so much competition in the arcade racing genre, Sonic Riders is left out on the cold. It’s not a particularly bad game, but it has enough problems to push it well behind the frontrunners.
