    Empire Earth III ultimately proves to be a predictable, tired, uninspired lump of a game.

    If you’ve played "Ford Racing 2" then you have essentially played Ford Racing 3. The games are practically the same except with a few new cars and some different modes. This is extremely disappointing and the game should be so much better. There is nothing in Ford Racing 3 that we haven’t seen elsewhere done much better.

    Two Worlds is a good game that suffers from a shoddy port. You would best be playing it on PC. Or, better yet, playing Oblivion.

    Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory tries so much, and yet fails on so many levels. Unless you're a true fan of the franchise, we'd advise you to steer clear.

    If you are a fan of the series, you would need to have never played any other games over the last ten years for this to come across as impressive.

    Children under 10 who dig the movie will get some decent entertainment out of what is essential GTA for kids. However, the uneven difficulty, technical issues and uninspired story keep this game from being anything other than passable entertainment.

    Regardless of whether or not it was a good idea to make SWAT: Target Liberty for the PSP, it's quite a poor game either way.

    With some obvious flaws that render the game difficult to play at best, Final Fantasy XIV will benefit from some updates in the near future. It's not bad by any means, but it's tough to recommend until the glaring issues have been dealt with.

    Elements of War has hardly any redeeming features to make it a worthy recommendation, and with all the high quality RTS titles already out for PC it is easily overshadowed.

    It's not that Heatseeker is a horrible game; it just never aspires to be anything more than an average one.

    It may amuse the really small ones, but unless you've got the memory of the goldfish you're going to spend your time catching, this one's probably worth avoiding.

    A really unspectacular package. The single player campaign is short and lacks variety, there’s nobody to play multiplayer games with, the action itself is confused yet utterly simplistic, and the game fails to graphically compete with titles released four to five years ago on significantly weaker hardware.

    With a hard to follow story and repetitive gameplay, it’s difficult to recommend Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 to anyone other than fans of the series.

    Save your money and take your kid to the zoo.

    Toy Story Mania is a decent home version of the popular Disneyland and Walt Disney World attraction, but ultimately it’s just another lacklustre mini-game compilation for the Wii.

    Ford Racing 3 is another DS game that could've been. At least it's not a total failure and it does provide some hope for the future.

    Fuzion Frenzy 2 is intolerable in single player and is okay in multiplayer, even at a budget price the game doesn't come recommended.

    Duke's return is bittersweet, serving as a great example of how much the industry has progressed. We still love him, but he deserves better.

    It looks nice, but even for kids, it's not terribly deep or interesting. You could do a lot better.

    Puzzle Bobble Universe's main faults lie in the lack of content and uninspired 3D effects. However, the gameplay will still be fun and appealing to a lot of gamers, especially those that haven't had the chance to experience a Puzzle Bobble game before.

    A functional but unappealing cash-in.

    Budget price point or not, Winback 2: Project Poseidon had the potential to be very, very good. But it’s not. What a shame.

    Alien Syndrome is a generic update and a game that is easily forgotten.

    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.

    The game mechanics really do show infinite promise, and even with this first attempt there is some dumb fun to be had – except it takes no more than five hours to complete the game 100%. Yes it is simple, short, easy, shallow and a movie tie-in. But I enjoyed it.

    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.

    Sprung is a missed opportunity. Who knew dating could be so boring?

    Beat Down makes us feel bad - we wanted it to be good, Cavia put in the ideas that could have made the game good, but failed to deliver on the execution - the despicable quality of voice acting just seals the deal.

    A once respectable franchise has been irreversibly tarnished by this steaming turd known as Call of Juarez: The Cartel.

    The only thing fantastic about Rise of the Silver Surfer is the record time you'll make travelling to the store to return it.
