    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.

    Despite being a bit dated, F.E.A.R. 2 still delivers a solid shooter with enough scares for die-hard horror/shooter fans to relish.

    It's bigger, better and happier. Let a little LocoRoco love into your life and you'll never regret it.

    A terrific sampling of the Mega Drive's greatest hits, with excellent achievements that egg you on to play them all.

    What gives this game its punch is the sublime grindhouse presentation, making for a hugely entertaining game experience. The gameplay is ultimately very shallow, but from the soundtrack to the dialogue to the sheer silliness of the story you'd have to be dead inside to not enjoy this.

    Tough but flawed, Tenchu is still an enjoyable mature experience on the Wii.

    Lose yourself in the limbs, style and lyrical waxings of Samuel L. Jackson, and the flaws in Afro Samurai won't be so glaring. It might not be the best game ever made, but it knows how to show off and have fun.

    Calling Maths Training a game could be stretching it a little, but anyone who needs to brush up on their maths skills or enjoys the idea of small daily maths quizzes will get a lot of value out of this game.

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

    A fine finish to Strong Bad's Cool Game, and a fine videogame parody in its own right.

    Meteos Wars may not be ideal with a standard controller, but it is still a fun, hectic and different take on the traditional block clearer.

    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 offers a unique and unforgettable Japanese RPG experience that even succeeds at being significantly different from what Persona 3 offered. Persona 4 is the kind of game that will win back gamers who grew tired of the genre a long time ago.

    Despite being ten years old the original Banjo-Kazooie has aged remarkably well. The game is a must for anyone who loved the N64 outings or simply wants some classic platformer action.

    Prince of Persia: The Fallen King has some good ideas but ultimately is let down by being rushed out the door.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Prince of Persia makes some bold design decisions that manage to come off well and they provide a great new start for the evergreen franchise.

    Singstar ABBA will only appeal to ABBA fans, but anyone with even a passing interest in ABBA should have no hesitations in picking this game up.

    Beautifully presented, and has enough strategic depth to compensate for its occasional dead spots and sparse online community.

    Taken off its pedestal and with all the hype and expectation dusted away, Chrono Trigger provides one of the most unique and entertaining adventures available on the DS.

    With so many strategic elements at play including an economy system and a variety of unit types, Age of Empires: Mythologies is worth a look at by any turn-based strategy fan.

    It's one small step for Sonic, but we're still awaiting that giant leap for the franchise.

    Tomb Raider: Underworld is fun, but despite its best efforts, does not advance the series as much as it should.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party breathes new life in the franchise thanks to the inclusion of Wii Balance Board support and a more appealing set of mini-games. However, it’s time Ubisoft took it up a notch as the Rabbids humour and style is starting to wear thin.

    Lips sets out to take the karaoke genre by storm, but ultimately doesn't hit the high notes thanks to a lacklustre single-player affair, lack of online options and a meagre track list.

    While it arrives with a meagre number of campaigns to play through, the edge of your seat gameplay and team-based focus of the title make Left 4 Dead the most comprehensive co-op title on the market at this time.

    Need for Speed Undercover is just a disappointing game on the PlayStation 3. Without all the technical flaws the game could have been enjoyable but at times it feels like you're in the photo mode, while you're supposed to be racing.

    Hilarious and original, Dangeresque 3 is the best episode yet.

    Confusingly caught between the world of arcade and simulation, Shaun White Snowboarding provides a competent look at the snowboarding genre that will draw you in for a couple of hours, but won't compel you to stay on the mountain.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Whether you use the Balance Board or the normal controls, Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip is a blast to play.
    • 72 Metascore

    Decades competently represents Guitar Hero's gameplay, but has trouble recreating what ultimately makes Guitar Hero fun.
