Ninja Gaiden Sigma is the definitive modern Ninja Gaiden version and one of the top action games currently available.

Vampire Rain is simply a sloppy, masochistic mess that wastes an otherwise solid concept and functional form.

Cookie and Cream is an enjoyable game that kids and adults will both get pleasure from. The game ends up feeling like Crash Bandicoot mixed with Mario, which is a good combination.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas is still an incredible game and is highly recommended. It may be coming a little bit late but you'll be having so much fun you just won't care.

While Transformers: The Game may be something of a typical movie tie-in, there's just enough spark here to provide a bit of fun for anyone who likes the movie or is just looking for some dumb fun.

Despite its obvious shortcomings, it's difficult to overlook the game's clear enjoyment. Keep expectations low and you could find your 'guilty pleasure' title of the year.

Astonishing graphics do not compensate for underwhelming gameplay.

GrimGrimoire is a game that could have been great had it had a little bit more variety and a few minor tweaks. That said its gameplay is definitely one of the best implementations of the RTS genre currently available on consoles.

While the visuals make decent use of the DS hardware, the gameplay is very basic and gets repetitive even after a short period. There are a few moments of fun such as when you’re cooking, but otherwise, there’s nothing overly impressive about Ratatouille.

With such a low price point, the best format to pick Ratatouille up for is the PC. For a platformer, Ratatouille is pretty enjoyable and younger gamers should enjoy it.

The Darkness is an experience first and something you play second. If you can get your head around that you’ll find plenty here for your hard earned cash.

If you're looking for the ultimate Pokemon-on-Wii experience, you'll have to keep waiting. If you crave battles and 3D Pokemon, you may just find enough here to keep you entertained, but everyone else will find better things to do very quickly.

A broken game that isn't recommended to anyone. Stay well away.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was on the right track but needed more time to be great. Only fans will find any enjoyment.

Good while it lasts. It’s just a pity it doesn’t last very long.

The only thing fantastic about Rise of the Silver Surfer is the record time you'll make travelling to the store to return it.

Upon venturing deeper into the game it is apparant that Codemasters have had to take a few shortcuts in making the game possible. The game is plagued by poor loading, average handling and really difficult opposition, that makes it seem like the game is warning you not to play it.

An excellent game for both hardcore strategy nuts and newcomers alike. An unassuming surface hides hours of ferociously addictive gameplay that's rivalled by few other titles.

Prince of Persia Classic ought to serve as a template for all future XBLA remakes. It had great potential but needed a little extra refinement to broaden its appeal.
