Monster Jam isn't an overly bad game, it just doesn't do anything to differentiate itself from other racers - there are a few flaws which result in an average game.- PALGN

The surprisingly deep combat, impressive AI, immersive cut-scenes, lack of loading and smooth frame rate combine to deliver not only one of the PlayStation 3's best games yet, but one of the best games yet this generation.- PALGN

Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity should please fans of the series, but everyone else will find its generic gameplay dull and repetitive.- PALGN

If you intend to play with friends and family, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a great title to add to your collection. If you intend to go solo, then the experience isn’t so great.- PALGN

ProStreet isn't a fundamentally bad game, it's just very different to what Need for Speed fans are used to. If you stick with the game there is still plenty of enjoyment to be had, but the game just isn't as fun as previous Need for Speed titles.- PALGN

Not particularly sure why this game is valued at AU$49, since it is such a simplified game that barely holds any substance compared to newer and similarly priced games.- PALGN

An engrossing story and above-average presentation. However, flawed gameplay elements make the game less enjoyable then it should be.- PALGN

One of the better experiences of 2007 and one of the few to genuinely deliver something of a 'new' experience.- PALGN

Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 fixes a few of the problems from the 2007 game, but there are still a number of serious issues yet to be addressed. It's still a lot of fun, though.- PALGN

The Umbrella Chronicles should satisfy anyone looking for a solid light gun game, though some fans might be a little disappointed with its brevity.- PALGN

Sonic games used to be about speed and fun, but Sonic Rivals 2 offers neither.- PALGN

A good port of one of last years best portable games. Still probably best in handheld form, but nice on a TV as well.- PALGN

It's not without charm, and the obsessive might get some joy from unlocking everything within the game, but the fundamentally shallow gameplay will, sooner rather than later, reduce Cooking Mama 2 to a chore.- PALGN

Rise of Kurnak adds some new incentives for fresh players to pick up the Everquest habit and also has plenty of new gameplay for those that were running out of things to do in world of Norrath.- PALGN

Super Mario Galaxy is without doubt the finest game Nintendo have produced this decade - endorsements don’t come much stronger than that.- PALGN

Blacksite: Area 51 is reasonable first-person shooter that looks quite nice. However, its short length and lack of ingenuity will keep most away until it hits the bargain bin.- PALGN

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command on the PSP just pips the DS version but regardless of some solid ideas and implementations, it's still a missed opportunity.- PALGN

Ultimate Mortal Kombat isn't quite the Ultimate collection of Mortal Kombat games but is still a lot of fun and is a game that Mortal Kombat fans should definitely pick up.- PALGN

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.- PALGN

Climax has delivered a title deserving of the Silent Hill name, but the experience may be a little too brief or frustrating for some players.- PALGN

With some interesting and fun gameplay ideas, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War is worth playing for fans of this style of game. Unfortunately, its undeniable flaws will keep it from becoming the success it could have been.- PALGN

With a wealth of options and a large variety of mini-games, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Game is a great partnership for the former rivals.- PALGN

Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII is an improvement over its predecessor, but still suffers from a few obvious flaws in its design to be considered a 'must-have' title. However, if you dig flying planes and shooting stuff, this title is certainly worth checking out.- PALGN

If you've played the previous two titles then this may be worth skipping but if not then here is your chance to get two of the most enjoyable games released in the past two years.- PALGN

It's big, it's loud and... it's a bit dull. A ginormous RTS feast that will prove to be indigestible for most.- PALGN

Power Rangers: Super Legends is a generic beat-‘em-up. The game’s AI is limited, and there are only a few redeemable features. Unless you’re a die-hard fan, then there is little on offer for you to enjoy.- PALGN

A respectable debut for the series on the Xbox 360, the buzzers are wireless, it's a shame about the number of questions but Scene It? is definitely a game that will get the casual gamer involved this Christmas.- PALGN
