    While proceedings might start out enjoyable, Thor: God of Thunder's trip to boredom and mediocrity ruin what ultimately could have been a solid third person romp. If you're after you're action fix you could certainly do worse; just don't expect this to be the 3DS' answer to God of War.

    A flawed but enjoyable experience for Indy fans. Much like the last film really.

    The battle presentation is spot on, and the system is half way there, but Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi is still only half way to being the Ultimate Dragon Ball Z experience.

    A reasonable game but its lack of challenge and enticement makes it fall far behind the pack.

    Hot Pixel is the most blatantly derivative product we've seen for years, but to make matters worse, it fails to offer up any sort of compelling gameplay or long term value.

    Ultimately, the deep and engaging Pro Tour mode of Smash Court Tennis 3 can't win out over inconsistant controls and a flawed gameplay design.

    Rango is a highly recommended game on the Nintendo DS if you're interested in masochism or sleep.

    Yar's Revenge is an awful rail shooter experience with so many shortcomings that there is hardly anything redeeming about it.

    Rabbids 3D is probably the most average platformer we've ever played, and the 3D effect is entirely superfluous.

    An abundance of cheap tactics and bland gameplay make this one title that will forever be warming the bench.

    Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll isn't a terrible RPG, it's just a forgettable one.

    Despite having its moments, The Lord of the Rings: Conquest can only be recommended to die-hard fans.

    While the story is certainly entertaining, the gameplay is too linear to be taken seriously. The game can be completed in an evening, but it's undoubtedly cool being able to explore the island and its characters first hand if you watch the show.

    If you can get some friends together, there's some bashtastic fun to be had with Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. That is, more than you would have on your own.

    Fury is a lot of fun, but is let down by its lack of diversity. The core gameplay is compelling, but given its lack of options, it isn't likely to hold your attention for very long.

    If you liked A New Beginning, then there is little reason why you shouldn’t pick up The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. The game uses the same basic combat system and adds a few new elements to it. Just don’t go expecting too much more.

    Lazy, downright idiotic design coupled with a staggering lack of ideas. Awful.

    An addition to the long line of adventure video games that will leave players feeling cold where gameplay is concerned. Suda 51 fans should play it for the story and the music, nothing more.

    Brain Challenge is a decent game, with numerous brain-teasers to keep you entertained for weeks. However, a few flaws leave the game less polished than it should be.

    Slow, mindless and dreary gameplay deals another blow to Sonic's struggle to survive in the 21st century.

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

    Some moments of Jurassic Park: The Game evoke the atmosphere of the films quite well, but unfortunately it's a game where the player ultimately feels unnecessary.

    Yoostar 2 is a fun idea and is certainly something that's best played with friends, but its technical limitations do spoil the rather short-lived experience. Best saved for a rental on a rainy day.

    While functional and fun in short bursts, unless you want to play Minesweeper on your TV screen there’s little reason you should purchase this Arcade game.

    Sega dropped the ball on this one. Don't touch it unless you need to cure insomnia, and even then, there are ways that are more readily available and are better for your health.

    Unfortunately with average presentation and a distinct lack of options the game is only really recommended to those who thrive on the idea of playing chess via the Xbox 360.

    Ghost Rider is worth a rent if you enjoyed the film, but otherwise, only die-hard fans should buy, due to the unlockable content alone.

    Even though it is geared more towards kids Disney Sing It is a worthy alternative to Sony's Singstar series.

    Ghostbusters on PSP doesn't look, sound, or play very well and is best passed up for a home console version.

    Rise of Nightmares is a decent horror game with great ideas and a spooky atmosphere but is let down by clunky movement controls.
