Top Spin has been ported to the PS2 fairly faithfully, but the game is already two years old and looked better on the Xbox.

This is the ultimate version of the game to own.

While the game still needs some patching, and is unfortunately not DoD as we know it, this is still an absolutely fantastic package; those after a new multiplayer shooter can’t really go wrong with this one. Oh, and expect this score to go up over time as Valve patches out various problems.

A decent survival horror action title, it just simply hasn't evolved much from its predecessor; the environments are a little restrictive and the action can be a bit stop start sometimes.

Ultimate Spider-Man has an excellent comic book style presentation and a great story, but the gameplay seems to hold it back from being one of the better titles released this holiday season.

The new additions truly add to the experience and create a fairly satisfying RTS experience.

When you take the physical activity and cheap, tacky prizes out of Whac-A-Mole, you're left with virtually nothing.

It's the definitive version of Fable, but only those who've not played the Xbox game, or are die hard fans should pick it up, given the additional content is not as plentiful as one would have expected, nor does it make the game profoundly different from what was released 12 months ago.

Truly original games are hard to come by so when something this good comes along it should be grabbed with both hands. We Love Katamari, we really do.

Genji: Dawn of Samurai has plenty of potential appeal and a fair amount of fun. There's just too much of the former and it skimps on the later.

This is the greatest handheld American football game available and fans of the game are likely to be very impressed with the game.

If you like X-Men and have four friends that share that like, you are going to find that there's a lot of fun to be had in X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse. It's just a shame that it doesn't really appeal to the rest of us.

Under-use of the Marvel license, focus on style over substance and a rushed developer have ensured that Marvel Nemesis will be the turkey of the EA holiday lineup.

One of the most unique adventure games in years. Gripping stuff from start to finish.

A good game. It's also one that has been there before.

With another six months of development time this could have been another enjoyable puzzle game for the PSP, but unfortunately Frantix is just a little too short and a little too budget for our liking.

The cell shaded look is effective, and all the environments feel vibrant.

With a poor story, short quest mode and no real reason to come back to the game there could be better choices for those in need of a platformer for christmas.

Another one of those games with a lot of good ideas and solid gameplay which just lacks that extra layer of polish needed to make it an A class title.

It won’t win any game of the year awards, but for a piece of brainless action, you can’t really go wrong with Shaolin Monks.

A severe disappointment. The AI makes such ridiculous decisions that it feels like the decisions are just made randomly.

There is enough of a package here to justify a decent portable game and a nice 3-D quest, the likes of which have never been seen on a handheld. If only Medievil: Resurrection spent a little more time cleaning off the cobwebs.

Full of wasted potential. A disappointing effort from a developer that knows better.

Whilst Burnout Legends feels more like Burnout 3.5 it is still a highly recommendable arcade racing game, it is easily the best racing game on the PSP, and quite possibly the best title on the handheld yet.

A brilliant game that should please everyone.

Very similar to its predecessors, that is that it isn't exactly challenging and it won't remain a memorable game, but whilst it lasts it is a decent kids game, and that's who 90% of the audience playing the game will be.

Once you get past the highly questionable handling the game will draw you in, it has a wealth of options and a lower RRP in Australia.

Unremarkable, offering none of the flash or depth of other fighting games based on an anime license.
