    Fuzion Frenzy 2 is intolerable in single player and is okay in multiplayer, even at a budget price the game doesn't come recommended.

    If you’re a pool enthusiast who finds they can’t get a table at the pub, then Actua Pool will fix your cravings, just don’t go expecting anything special.

    Hotel Dusk hangs somewhere between a game and an interactive story. While we would have liked to see a little more interactivity thrown into the mix, its storytelling elements are nevertheless fantastic.

    Sid Meier's Pirates is a shining example of how a game can be ported and made enjoyable for the PSP.

    Simple. If you own a PC and are willing to devote your life to a great game, you need to buy this.

    Great game, great story, more Phoenix Wright righteousness. There's a lack of evolution, but we expect that to change in future.

    An excellent addition to the Wario Ware series and the ideal game to show what the Wii can do. Its lifespan may be a little on the short side but there's definitely enough enjoyment here for your money.

    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is an intense and enjoyable shooter from the reliable Capcom stables. The single player, while a little too short by modern standards is an absolute blast. The multiplayer is a little different, fun and likely to be popular until the next big Live game is released.

    An indie triumph that takes classic gameplay from Ye Olden Days, dusts it off, buffs it up and reminds us all why we got hooked on gaming in the first place.

    It just gets repetitive from time to time and suffers from average graphics and annoying British accents.

    Gripshift is still an enjoyable game, it's just not as enjoyable as the PSP version which was released more than 18 months ago now.

    Yu-gi-oh! GX Spirit Caller will give the fans just what they want. A fun portable way of enjoying their favourite card game and much cheaper than investing in the physical cards.

    It's great to see the second episode of the game come through both on time and, more importantly, deliver more of the humourous gameplay that the first episode gave us.

    The game encourages you to dig deep into your vocabulary and create powerful attacks. It’s surprisingly engaging and when coupled with strategic elements such as Gem Tiles, and can also be quite challenging. To keep things fresh there are also a variety of mini-games on offer. A must for casual gamers.

    If this is the best example of the PSP’s capabilities, the developers are better off making a different game because the load times/screens make the game lose portable appeal and a lot of functionality as a game in general.

    Once past the impressive introduction, it's a downward spiral into a mediocre experience.

    There’s just something so appealing about smashing vases against walls and ripping carrots out of the ground. A fun and ingenious design which makes Eledees a winner.

    Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII is a marginally better game on the PS3, but it's just not enough one year down the track. Good for a rent.

    Pangya is a fun golf game that brings just enough new to the table to be worthy of a look. Golf game nuts will certainly get a kick out of it, but for those that aren’t big on swinging their virtual club at the TV; this game is probably better served as a rental.

    Ace in Action certainly took its time coming to the Wii but it's still a great game that's highly recommended to kids.

    Full Auto 2: Battlelines barely improves upon its average predecessor.
    • 61 Metascore

    A decent, variable and exciting action game and fans of Star Wars have a game that won’t leave them cringing.

    The lack of portability and obtuse load times mean that it has no advantage over the PS2 or Xbox 360 versions - that, and you'll be paying the same, if not more than the PS2 version.

    Another well produced handheld Castlevania, and with at least a few new features for once.
    • 87 Metascore

    The definitive PSP gaming experience.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    While the level of humour remains the same, the PlayStation 2 version falls short in the graphics department. The mini-games also don’t feel as engaging as they do on the Wii at times.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Fight Night Round 3 for the PS3 has the same old problems and a bunch of new ones - and a few scant extra features just aren't enough to tip the balance.
    • 73 Metascore

    A great action puzzle game that controls well and is quite addictive. Well worth the budget price!

    Save your money and take your kid to the zoo.

    There's no reason why you shouldn't purchase this if you already have the original. While it could do with some improvements in areas, the experience is still fantastic.
