A missed opportunity, the game features hard to learn controls, randomised levels that quickly becomes repetitive and enemies that all look very similar.- PALGN

For the money, it's hard to fault this disc. With 9 top quality maps, there's enough here to quench the thirst of all Halo fans.- PALGN

Refreshingly different, packed full of options and technically polished in every area. Along with "Advance Wars," it’s a must own title for all DS owners.- PALGN

The innovation is there, and what’s expressed is done well. But Atelier Iris suffers from some really stupid mistakes. In a genre that relies heavily on keeping gamers interested, the backtracking, silly errand missions and slow progressing story don’t help at all.- PALGN

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory tries so much, and yet fails on so many levels. Unless you're a true fan of the franchise, we'd advise you to steer clear.- PALGN

Maniax isn't necessarily a bad fighting game, it's just that it has gradually been eclipsed by franchises such as "Tekken," "Soul Calibur" and "Dead or Alive."- PALGN

It seems PAL gamers got the good end of the stick here, with load times cut in half and everything making the cut that was in the American version. This is a racing game to seriously consider.- PALGN

Most definitely one of the best platformers for quite some time, and another Tim Schafer success story, but the game is still a little lacklustre and prevents it from becoming the pick of the crop.- PALGN

Great concept; shame about the execution. Here's hoping THQ is willing to fund a sequel to iron out the flaws. It's the least that Pandemic deserves.- PALGN

One of the strongest multiplayer shooters on the market. With classes that compliment each other, a brilliant squad system, and fast, furious gameplay, Battlefield 2 is about as much fun as online shooters get. An easy contender for game of the year.- PALGN

Rare obviously know how to work their system. It's just a shame they've lost their flair for gameplay. This game overall displayed a total drought of ideas. It's a shame that such a good game be dealt such a troublesome fate.- PALGN

An above average game that could have been so much, if only it was a little longer and a little larger.- PALGN

Juiced was supposed to be released eight months ago, before we'd played all these brilliant racing games, now it just feels like it has come to the genre too late.- PALGN

The DS version of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was doomed from the start, given the terrible game upon which it was based.- PALGN

It may not have the lifespan or the consistency of ideas that the highest caliber 2D platformers contain, but with its unique design and control system there’s no denying it’s a fun game in its own right.- PALGN

The characters can be a little blocky at times and the environments look a little pixelated when up close, but the environments are huge and they look like they go on for miles.- PALGN

The best GTA experience and the best open-ended console gameplay experience you can have offline.- PALGN

The game play is very varied, with every ten minutes bringing something new to be done. Stealth, action, platforming, all genres make some kind of appearance.- PALGN

Not only is this title many times better than the original, it offers one of the best and fulfilling experiences for the Game Boy Advance.- PALGN

A good choice for those looking for a Pool game, especially on the Xbox where there is no Pool Paradise. In fact, this game has a few things that Archer Maclean's title doesn't.- PALGN

Scare me. Shock me. Shake me. Take me to a place where horror is able to splurge into any gamer's mind and rattle it around playfully, frightfully, terribly. That's what horror gaming should be like. Haunting Ground really is a fun game to play and is another one of Capcom’s gems.- PALGN

A disappointing game. It feels like a severely stripped down version of a console version that is now actually cheaper than this version.- PALGN

The space fights almost sell this game by themselves. However, the game lacks enough difficultly or motivation to offer gamers with a long and rewarding experience.- PALGN

The basic idea of a lightsabre side-scrolling beat 'em up is a good one. But, the game is simply too short, too simple and overrun with camera problems to be any better than average.- PALGN

Everybody's Golf is a great game that should be suited to anyone who likes their games to be easy and accessible.- PALGN

A game that will last a ridiculously long amount of time. We personally shudder to think of how long it would take to complete the entire game, it would take at least fifty hours and this isn't including the Xbox Live features.- PALGN

If you find it cheap, and you know what you're getting, it may fit your bill. Not a must buy for anyone though - even pinball or pac-man freaks.- PALGN
