    Our main complaint with Virtua Tennis 3 is the fact that Sega are happy to sit on their laurels and release a game that is very similar to its predecessor. However, they say that if it isn't broke then don't fix it, and Virtua Tennis 3 is definitely not broke.

    An ambitious game that hasn't (yet) fulfilled its potential. There's brilliance here, but it's currently being smothered by technical issues and an unfortunately wobbly multiplayer component.

    Almost scuppered by bugs but ultimately a compulsive gaming experience.
    • 93 Metascore

    A class act, but those solo PlayStation 3 owners might be better served by the upcoming Game of the Year edition.

    A fun, challenging and intense recreation of a classic franchise that's good in short bursts.
    • 61 Metascore

    It's a nice idea, it's cute, and it's sometimes fun, but the lack of longevity and control problems mean it's just not worth it.

    Even if its only purpose was to lure speed-hungry maniacs off our roads, thereby saving hundreds of lives each year, it still wouldn't be worth it.

    A worthwhile addition to anyone’s DS collection. And if you love puzzle games, then you won’t be disappointed with Puzzle Quest.

    Silverfall is not particularly a bad game, it just is not a groundbreaking game in a genre that has had several heavyweights that still shine to this very day. The game has a handful of irritating bugs that you would typically never see in other games, and ultimately hurts the final product. There is still plenty of enjoyment to be found with Silverfall though.

    Earth Defence Force 2017 might be a little rough around the edges, but it offers non-stop action on a breathtaking scale.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It’s a little rough around the edges and there’s not much in the way of variety here, but what it does do it does well.

    TMNT's pitiful difficulty and technical shortcomings overshadow some solid platforming action.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While not very different or revolutionary, Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai 2 provides the fans with what they want. Plenty of DBZ and some solid but enjoyable fighting action.

    Even with the backing of HC Andersen characters, the game fails to excel pass preexisting point-and-click adventure games.

    While Lost in Blue 2 comes across as a carbon clone of its faulty predecessor, its small negligible improvements may prove intriguing to discerningly patient fans of the series.

    Theme Park on the DS is essentially just a port, but the game has aged well and is still a fantastic title for those who like sim games.

    TMNT for the Game Boy Advance is a fantastic game that utilises the TMNT license in a great way. The game includes bosses from the film and is a fantastic demonstration of how to release a solid game based on a movie.

    Custom Robo Arena overall is a fun and addictive mech combat game that really works well on the Nintendo DS, making it a worthwhile purchase for owners of the system.
    • 93 Metascore

    Arguably a better game than its predecessor in every way. Level design is more intelligent, puzzles require more thought, and the boss battles are more cinematic than ever before. In terms of the storyline, the first game has the edge.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A valiant effort for what it is, but still falls short in terms of control and level design. But if you absolutely must have your World War II fix on the go, you could do worse.

    Rocky Balboa is a good boxing game and a fitting commemoration for the franchise, but there just isn't quite enough here.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Excellent gameplay and an amazing level of detail should make those who enjoy flight sims giddy (and may even convert a few that aren't into amateur flyboys).

    Spectrobes is a great beginning for Disney Interactive's new IP - it's clear this is only the tip of the iceberg for the franchise. Spectrobes comes highly recommended.

    Burnout Dominator is a good game at heart, but feels quite stale when compared to its predecessors.
    • 86 Metascore

    Regardless of the clear setbacks and lack of evolution, this is still one of the finest titles available for the Xbox 360. If you don't like tactical shooting, the GRAW series will change your mind. It's that good.

    Uno Free Fall is a decent budget priced Game Boy Advance puzzle game. It may not be as fun as actual Uno, but it's easy to pick up and play.

    Although it may not be without its problems, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is still an incredibly fun and highly recommended experience.
    • 80 Metascore

    If you loved the first then this is a must. As for everyone else who still hasn’t experienced Titan Quest, now is a better time than ever. An excellent expansion to an excellent game.

    The very mention of Sherlock Holmes is enough to award some merit, and the gameplay isn't half bad either. Players thirsty for a classic adventure should give it a shot.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dark Resurrection is still a thoroughly enjoyable fighting game that should appeal to those who have liked the previous games. It is a little light on features in comparison to other Tekken titles but is still incredibly good value.
