While the story is certainly entertaining, the gameplay is too linear to be taken seriously. The game can be completed in an evening, but it's undoubtedly cool being able to explore the island and its characters first hand if you watch the show.

Patapon reminds us that there is still room for originality in gaming. Easily one of the must-have titles on the PSP.

There’s simply not enough to keep players going. If you do manage to find this title in the bargain bin, it can provide some cheap fun on the way to work each morning. Otherwise, you will be disappointed by the lack of fleshed out features.

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is an intense and enjoyable shooter with enough unique features to set itself apart, but we would have expected more polish from this port.

Tired fishing puns aside, Sega Bass Fishing is a tasty, if dated and flawed kettle of arcade angling.

A sub-standard mini-game compilation that lacks the appeal of other 'brain games'.

Despite its flaws, Frontlines: Fuel of War has solid gameplay and an exciting multiplayer mode that stands out from the pack. While it may not be the most original game ever made, that doesn't change the fact that it's a whole lot of fun to play.

A fun addition to the Buzz! Junior library, Dino Den is an entertaining romp that should keep the kids occupied, and enjoyed by the whole family should they want to give it a go.

A great mix of fun and frustration.

The Club is so excellent at capturing the essence of old-school arcade gaming that you might find yourself trying to shove dollar coins into your console.

Perhaps the most casual Dragon Quest game to date, TMQATTOM is a case of too little, too late, and is difficult to recommend to anyone but a casual or perhaps younger gamer.

It's a simple game but if taken it on its own merits, The Club should satisfy anyone with an old-school interest in high scores.

Another solid entry, but the series probably needed more then solid. Weaker characters are offset by new novelties, but it will still be worth a go for fans of the idea.

Dynasty Warriors 6 is a years-old game masquerading as a new one. Old gameplay and old visuals mean that if we want some crowd-mashing fun, we'll be digging out a previous iteration before this one.

FIFA Street 3 would be a great game if it could manage to find some depth. As it is, the game is immediately pleasing, but runs out of puff too quickly, especially in solo play.

New Zealand Story Revolution is still an enjoyable game, but the touch screen controls drag the quality down severely, if you just want to play the original game then it may be worth hunting down Taito Legends.

Conflict: Denied Ops is a mediocre first-person shooter with average gameplay. With so many flaws, this game is a tough sell at its current premium price.

So while it doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary (well, in comparison to the rest of the series), it delivers what it needs to and does with distinction. It's marginally a better game than the original, but it doesn't have the advantage of being the series' return to form. Still, if you're a WipEout fan or someone who's after an adrenaline and challenge packed racer, then WipEout Pulse astutely fits the bill.

Jumper: Griffin's Story is not only one of the worst movie to game adaptations we've ever played, it's quite simply one of the worst games ever.

For fans of the JRPG and those who are in it for the story will find Lost Odyssey to be one of the most moving and compelling experiences to be found in a video game.

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a wonderful combination of style and substance that will keep gamers entralled for hours.

If you've already amassed a large collection of puzzle games on XBLA, you'll probably find nothing really significant to add Poker Smash to your collection. But if you're a sucker for Tetris styled games with a twist, you can't go past the slick presentation and fast-paced fun of Poker Smash.

On the one hand, it is weaker then the mass of counterparts in the genre and doesn’t quite know how to ‘honour’ its heritage. However, on the other hand, it does a couple of things much better and allows you to take on cold mercenaries and dinosaurs with dual wielding shotguns and a knife that makes Rambo look like a boy scout.

Through the tears of frustration and joy, you'll find that Devil May Cry 4 is the premier action game so far in the HD generation.

Lacks a final polish, the combat and exploration can get repetitive, and the visuals are poor. However, there are a number of minor features which will please fans such as the entries in the Field Guide and Thimbletack’s tendency to rhyme.

With technical problems that could retroactively plague any Crusade, Altaïr's Chronicles are best left forgotten.

A resounding success and the best sci-fi strategy game currently available.

While it has some frustrating aspects to it, Farm Vet does have some fun gameplay in it. It's definitely the best animal simulator on the PC, but if you have a different piece of hardware there are greater games in the genre to choose from.
