At its core Mage Night Apocalypse is, although not brilliant, at least passable. However, the fact that the game is hampered by numerous interface problems means it can only be recommended to those obssessed with the Mage Knight universe, or those that want to play every RPG there is.

Although Death Jr. and the Science Fair of Doom is by no means a bad game, it lacks an overall polish and a certain oomph to bring it in line with other DS games on the market.

A below average game that feels like it has been developed to turn a quick buck.

By creating this absolute mess of a game, Eurocom have done a great disservice to themselves and fans of the franchise. Avoid at all costs.

Samurai Shodown Sen is a competent weapon-based fighting game with some unique gameplay mechanics. Unfortunately, it suffers from far too many shortcomings to make it worth recommending.

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.

One of the worst games of the year and an insult to the original Sonic game.

Donkey Kong Jet Race is yet another example of the uneventful consequences of uninspired motion controls.

Saw II has a few decent puzzles, and fans may appreciate some of the story's revelations, but terrible combat, poor boss encounters and the complete lack of scares detract from the experience.

A game that had a lot of potential in its concept, but a few solid ideas can't make up for poor gameplay.

Not only is this a poor fighting game by Wii standards, this is a massively wasted chance to create something unique and worthwhile. Your money would be better spent in the local arcade.

Boring, repetitive gameplay, uninspired level design and pathetic voice-overs are just part of the reason why Iron Man is destined to become a video store rental rather than a full price purchase.

Brothers in Arms: Double Time contains two dated World War II games that have actually fared off worse in making the transition to the Wii. This is a compilation you will want to avoid.

Racket Sports could have been fun and sounds good in theory... but ultimately fails to hold any interest and is a bad example of Move technology.

Shadow the Hedgehog could signal the death of Sonic spin offs, the title tries too hard to be impressive and ultimately fails miserably.

It's great to see the Trojan War explored in Warriors: Legend of Troy, but these legendary warriors deserved a much more endearing title than this one. Only fans need apply.

The Xbox has far better racing titles available, this game is a budget title and it shows.

State of Emergency 2 is worse than its predecessor and has almost no redeeming features. We're hoping this is the end of the franchise because the gameplay is seriously outdated.

Unless you are a hardcore Warriors fanatic, Warriors Orochi 2 offers nothing more than button mashing monotony at its finest.

Poorly executed, poor AI and highly repetitive. Even die-hard fans will find it difficult to get enjoyment out of this title.

Despite a competent basis, Terminator Salvation is bland, empty and anaemic, even by movie tie-in standards.

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.

The slow, frustrating and difficult ride that is Ape Escape is another in a long line of failures of titles trying to moot the need for PlayStation Move.

An insult to anyone who enjoyed the original arcade game.

Not even the most dedicated fans of the movie will find this game to be of any interest. Children's game or not, The Golden Compass is well below par and not worth your money.
