    A competent RPG that is hampered by several minor flaws. The controls are simple to pick up, and battles are quick and enjoyable. Some players however will get frustrated by the repetitive nature of the job licenses, the translation issues and the lack of a detailed map. If you don't have high expectations though, then there's enough on offer to keep you interested.

    Minor blemishes of challenge and length on an otherwise sharply crafted blade, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is nevertheless a solidly designed DS title.

    NOMBZ is a simple shooter that has just a few too many problems to be easily recommended.

    If your PSP has been gathering dust in the corner for some time, it's time to dust it off, grab a copy of Crisis Core and experience one of the truly great titles to ever grace the PSP.

    With all the structural changes made, Kane's Wrath is what the original Command and Conquer 3 should have been in the first place. It doesn't re-invent anything, but it polishes what was otherwise a game let down by a number of disappointing flaws.

    With one of the best soundtracks yet Singstar 90's is definitely a title that younger readers will want to add to their collection, if you weren't a fan of 90's music then steer cleer, but otherwise this is a game you'll want to pick up.

    Despite being a year late, Everybody’s Golf: World Tour brings something little less serious but still quite enjoyable to the club house.

    Sega Superstars Tennis mixes tennis and mini games and unfortunately doesn't excel at either.

    Sega Superstars Tennis mixes tennis and mini games and unfortunately doesn't really excel at either.

    A casual affair. While the mini games are decent and perfectly suited to a handheld, the tennis part of the game is average.

    While not as revolutionary as the original, it's still a very competent game and is worth a look for anybody interested in the series at all.

    This Wii version bodes well for the future of the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise. Hopefully Konami runs with it and continues to improve the concepts they've developed here. Recommended for those with even a passing interest in soccer, sorry - football.

    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.

    A more enjoyable game than its predecessor and a fun game for kids.

    While it maintains the atmosphere of the original title, the silly sci-fi twist of the second half of the game prevents it from reaching the white-knuckled heights of atmospheric tension that Condemned: Criminal Origins thrived on.

    While the shonky AI and cumbersome controls take away from the game, there is no denying that Ring of Fates is another solid gaming experience from Square Enix.

    While Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 plays a good game of footy, one can’t help but wonder what more could have been done on the PS3 or Xbox 360. Or when we’ll actually see it.

    The Buzz! series is still undoubtedly good value and Buzz! Hollywood Quiz! is a game that Buzz! fans will definitely enjoy.

    A decent compilation, but we would have liked to have seen more included on the disk to keep players coming back.

    While the PS2 port of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters isn’t a bad game, it is still the worst game in the series and doesn’t live up to its predecessors. Probably best for die-hard fans only.

    Perhaps by being willing to limit itself, Brawl could have been a great game. As it stands, it is simply the strongest iteration of a great series.

    Army of Two is an enjoyable team-based shooter that plays soundly and looks fantastic. Though it offers a style of gameplay we have seen countless times before, EA's latest endeavour is a solid effort that is sure to be a hit with co-op fans.

    A great portable action game and a fine portable distraction until the real deal comes around.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An ideal choice for fans of the genre, and possibly a more surprising title for gamers who are curious.
    • 83 Metascore

    The Wii version is slightly better looking and has motion controls that are reasonably well implemented, as is the extra content.

    As solid and reliable as Soulstorm is, it's a largely uninspired attempt to wring a few more bucks out of the series. If it's 'more of the same' that you're after, then go right ahead.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    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.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While some will be turned off by the challenging gameplay and the less appealing visuals, those seeking an old-school gaming experience should look no further.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Triggerheart: Exelica is a good little shooter that's held back by a lack of value for anyone other than the hardcore.
