    If you’ve played the original, Thrillville: Off the Rails is very similar and only features a few basic improvements. That said, it’s the superior version.

    Donkey Kong Jet Race is yet another example of the uneventful consequences of uninspired motion controls.

    Essentially more of the same old same old, and it's starting to wear thin.

    Crash of the Titans is fun, but it's really just platforming by the numbers. Nothing more, nothing less.

    For 800 points, Tetris Splash is well recommended to those who enjoy the game of Tetris. Just don't expect all the trimmings.

    It's a good game brought a hair's width short of being great due to a handful of oversights.

    Hot Pixel is the most blatantly derivative product we've seen for years, but to make matters worse, it fails to offer up any sort of compelling gameplay or long term value.

    The ideal gift for children who want to participate in the Buzz games but find the questions too difficult. Adults would be best advised to stick to the other Buzz titles though.

    FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage comes highly recommended for anyone who enjoys arcade racing titles. This is a game that definitely lives up to its title.

    Approachable controls, film-like cut-scenes and great graphics make Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow one of the best PSP games of 2007.

    The new cities are fantastic; the handling model still hits that perfect balance between fantasy and realism and the sheer amount of things to do, plus its online multiplayer means you be playing it for a long time to come.

    If you liked A New Beginning, then there is little reason why you shouldn’t pick up The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. The game uses the same basic combat system and adds a few new elements to it. Just don’t go expecting too much more.

    NBA 2K8 has excellent on-court play, awesome presentation and a packed feature set - basketball video games don't get any better than this.

    One of the finest portable adventures ever created, and yet another high point for one of gaming's greatest franchises.

    After last year's effort, it’s good to see the franchise back on track. There are still plenty of areas where it could improve and there is lots of refinement to be done, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.

    Jackass The Game is a game that is enjoyable while it lasts, but once you've completed it there isn't much reason to come back and play the title again.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The game becomes repetitive and boring after just half an hour and the gameplay is just too dull.

    The Forge and Theatre modes redefine what it is to make a game "for the fans", as they are substantial and influential additions to the game and have the potential to build Halo 3 even further then it has ever been before.

    A lightweight, yet fun, title which should appeal to those who are new to the Strategy genre, or those that want a more relaxing experience. Its only major drawback is that its more of a sidestep than a revolution of the series.

    The technology behind Singstar needs to improve; charging $49.95 for what is essentially a cd is fairly expensive. However, the game is still incredibly fun and addictive in multiplayer, plus the songs are some of the best yet.

    Blazing Angels 2 goes in guns-a-blazin', but runs out of fuel rather quickly.

    MySims may be a simple game, but it's remarkably easy to approach and watching your town go from a ghost town to a location other Sims want to visit is very satisfying. It's just a bit of a shame the franchise has been dumbed down in the transition to the Wii.

    MySims is fun, but not for very long.

    Sonic Rush Adventure is in many ways an improvement over its predecessor, but an ill-conceived plot, annoying new characters and an awful lot of repetition hold it back from being truly great.

    A big, loud, highly polished game that's possibly a bit too smitten with its own good looks. As it is, World in Conflict is often more fun to watch than to actually play.

    Warriors Orochi will offers a great deal of fan service to those who are already lovers of the Warriors series. For those not fans of repetitive button mashing missions there's very little on offer.

    It doesn't offer anything new apart from the tracks... but that should be of no surprise to fans of the game. If you like to rock, SingStar: Amped is a worthy purchase for your party needs.

    Eternal Sonata offers a unique blend of beautiful scenery and surprisingly tactical combat to create one of the better RPG's that we've seen over the past few years. This is definitely worth a crack for hardcore and casual RPG fans alike.

    The gameplay has improved but there are still a few problems which means only those who will get extreme joy from customising their vehicles should take a second look at Juiced 2.
