    Damnation is an unfinished title with a concept and scale to rival some of the best shooters on the market. Sadly, the poor execution makes you wonder how great this title could have been.

    inFamous hits all the right notes but sometimes tends to miss. An electrifying experience well worth buying.

    Jack the Ripper proves to be an able adversary for Sherlock Holmes, and the pursuit of him makes for a great adventure and a ripping yarn.

    UFC 2009 Undisputed is the genuine article; authentic, visceral and with enough technical depth to satisfy the most ardent fan.

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

    An update needed for some with the host of new cards introduced, but the basic single player Story Mode feels rushed and tacked on. Unfortunately, you can't help the feeling it's also the reason behind the rehashed World Championship elements, when development time could of went into giving us something fresher.

    EA Sports Active is a fine alternative to Wii Fit, and actually encourages you to get active outside of the game as well.

    Bionic Commando is the surprise of the year so far. With a game that focuses so much energy on making the experience fun, it’s hard not to get swept up.

    PiCOPiCT is a great puzzler, and the best game available on DSiWare so far.

    Sacred 2 is simply not good enough on far too many levels to be recommended. Fans of the gameplay style may find something to latch onto, but for the rest of us, this is a mediocre action-RPG lacking in passion and creativity.

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

    Run, jump and dodge - these are the simple commodities in which Klonoa trades. Lush visuals and solid mechanics make this an excellent remake which stands testament to the power of the 2D plane.

    The Last Resort is neither grand nor awful, offers almost nothing new, and to its detriment is definitely not about Wallace and Gromit.

    It's not the deepest action title that you've played, but X-Men Origins: Wolverine does a fantastic job of recreating the conflicted beast that is one of Marvel Comics most enduring characters.

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

    Classic platformer gaming that will have you reliving the glory days of the N64 console. Whether you're a fan or a newcomer, there's little reason why you shouldn't purchase the XBLA port of Banjo-Tooie.

    Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram should only be considered if you're willing to take on the multiplayer and a lot of time to learn the subtle intricacies.

    Tough and relentless, but a heck of a lot of fun as well. Lode Runner benefits from some smart design choices that keep the game challenging while (mostly) avoiding needless frustration.

    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.

    OutRun Online Arcade doesn't bring anything new to the table, but is does provide gamers with a solid arcade experience well worth the 800 Microsoft points.

    Demigod shines brightest in its multiplayer, and rarely stops shining. A must for RTS fans and something to look into for multiplayer junkies.

    It desperately needs a more interactive in-game tutorial system to lessen the near-vertical learning curve, but there's currently nothing else that can challenge Black Shark in the hardcore heli-sim arena.

    Flock! is a fun puzzling game, offering surprising depth and variation for all you good shepherds. The somewhat fiddly controls stop it from being great, however. Now flock off.

    The Godfather II may be an offer you'll refuse, but there's enough here to interest someone who would like a sophisticated twist on the sandbox formula.

    Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is a fun addition to the series, but ultimately it falls short of bringing the quality and quantity of gameplay provided by its predecessors.

    'Better' games will be released than Ninja Blade, but few will allow you to see and experience what's on offer here.

    Rhythm Heaven is a testament to how simple gameplay mechanics combined with ingenuous design can create a highly entertaining and immersive experience.

    WarioWare: Snapped! is great fun with friends, but can be difficult to set up and offers little value for money.

    It's a little bare-bones, but Art Style: AQUITE is unique and addictive.

    Apart from a few bad design issues and ridiculous premise, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai has most of the elements required for a good and possibly even a great game.
