Bringing the thrills and spills of Wipeout to PlayStation 3 with Move seems like an instant win, and while it definitely can bring hours of laughs to a good party, there's simply not enough content to keep single players entertained for much longer than a few hours. If you feel the urge to Wipeout anytime soon, you'll be better off sticking to the TV.

Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 may not be exactly what many might expect, but by no means does that mean it's a bad game. The arcade experience found here is just ripe for some great Sharp Shooting action; light on the realism, but heavy on the fun.

Dance! It's Your Stage isn't the breakout dancing game Move owners have been waiting for, with its qualities tempered by drawbacks. The choreography is good, but the lack of clear direction disappoints, while the music that's included is fun, but can't stand up to the competition's recognisable tunes.

It's no disaster, but it's no disco diva either.

Though its licence ensures its uniqueness, it is, we're Sorry! to say, a harsh drop off in quality compared to other Hasbro Family Game Night titles, which have previously generally provided decent experiences in the party gaming space.

MotionSports Adrenaline tries to bring a unique control interface to Move that can compare with what's found on Kinect, but while there's some potential to be had here, the overall experience is nowhere near as exciting as any of these sports are in real life.

Despite its - significant - flaws, Grease Dance is enjoyable in an enthusiastic social situation, and it even squeezes in the odd fun Easter egg. Dancing may be frustrating if you're dead set on getting a good score, but the singing works rather well, and with the intended group of friends warbling and jigging along the dodgy recognition is more easily ignorable.

At the current exchange rate, the WiiWare version definitely works out cheaper than this PSN release, but for any parents with only a PS3 at their disposal, Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2 is definitely one of the strongest educational titles for children, mixing in key skills with fun exercises and a calm atmosphere that is extremely favourable for learning the process.

Just Dance Kids does a great job of playing to its audience, with a host of songs and dance routines that will appeal without frustrating. Ubisoft has ensured that the game is constructed to be as friendly as possible to both children and parents, simplifying the dance series without downgrading its quality.

Shadows of Katmai looked to be an exciting new entry in the Cabela's franchise, but it instead finds itself trekking directly into Uncharted territory without the necessary finesse and polish it needs to withstand its high profile competition – a far cry from the niche genre the Cabela's series is known and enjoyed for.

Cabela's Adventure Camp brings the fun outdoor activities of summer camp right into your living room all year long. If you've got a cabin full of rambunctious children this winter that are itching for summer camp to finally arrive, this just might be your ticket to get them off the couch.

For no cost, there's no excuse not to ignite these lights.

Table Football isn't the deepest, most full-featured game, but that's no foul; it's an addictive little slice of fun that hits the back of the net nicely. It won't sustain you for too long in single player due to its lack of structure to progress through, but with a friend it's an amusing throwback to simpler times.

While the single-player options are plentiful and almost worth the meagre purchase price on their own, the only part formed online multiplayer truly drags things down. Chess lovers will undoubtedly get their fill, but unless there's a major update coming in the very near future, it's with a heavy heart we fail to recommend Pure Chess to anyone but the real obsessives.

Foosball 2012 was never going to set the world alight, but it's a competent arcade multiplayer game that's a great fit for parties or social gatherings. Despite its misjudged micro-transactions, the game still represents outstanding value, and the impressive connectivity between the PS3 and Vita versions helps to accentuate that. The title's unlikely to hold your attention for too long, but if you're looking for something lighthearted and fun, Foosball 2012 is well worth a spin.

Jetpack Joyride would be far more appealing as a PSN title, complete with Trophies, online support, and leaderboards, but as PlayStation Minis go, it's not to be missed.

Planets Under Attack is an accessible, well-rounded strategy game that almost anyone can enjoy. Hiding considerable depth under its colourful exterior, the title does a great job of easing you into the rhythm of the genre. Despite some off-balance gameplay and presentation issues, this is another solid addition to the PSN's bulging catalogue.

DOOM Classic Complete is a decent collection if you're a fan of the series or a first-person enthusiast, but the asking price is far too steep if you don't fall into either camp. While all of the packaged titles are still enjoyable in short bursts, needless technical issues and presentation problems let them down, making it worth careful consideration before you book a return trip to the underworld.

Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender is a fantastic launch title for the PlayStation Mobile platform. It's demanding in its difficulty, which may put some people off, but it can afford to be when it's put together this well on all fronts. Pay the small entry fee and you'll be grinning like the cat who got the cream.

Don't play Super Crate Box if you've got important things to do. It's a timesink, a stupendously enslaving arcade-style game that refuses to ease you in gently, instead enticing you in with extra bits and bobs until you realise that you're well and truly trapped in its box.

Samurai Beatdown is a simple to pick up slice of rhythm action on PlayStation Mobile, though it only truly comes to life on the hardest difficulty setting. It can be technically completed in a single hour-long session, but there's more than a chance that you'll be fine-tuning those final difficulty runs for a little while; it's unlikely you'll perfect it immediately unless you actually have the skills of a samurai.

Panic! isn't a bad game, but its imprecise touch controls hold it back. There's definitely a decent premise here – but, much like its subject material, the puzzler's best ideas are obscured beneath several layers of sticky, murky matter.

escapeVektor is an addictive title, and a great choice if you're in the market for a new PlayStation Vita puzzler. The accessible mechanics, smart pacing, and intriguing narrative make it a compelling option, even if it can get a touch frustrating towards the end.

Whether or not you get much out of Beats Slider will depend upon your tolerance for sliding puzzles, but there's some great music here to encourage your investment regardless. In many ways it's the perfect title for PlayStation Mobile: simple, disposable, and smart. And at less than the price of a Kinder Surprise, it's hard to really complain either way.

Gun Commando is a neat idea, but it falls apart in the final stages. The nostalgic presentation is a strong lure, but the sloppy controls and relentless difficulty let it down. It may be an accurate representation of the genre that it's attempting to celebrate, but times have changed.

This is a confused product that’s too complicated for non-musicians, and far too basic for proper producers.

Zombie Driver HD has many of the components of a decent downloadable game, but repetitive missions and clunky controls make this more of a messy car crash than an exhilarating death ride. You may harvest some entertainment out of the dodgy dialogue and straightforward Slaughter mode, but just don’t expect the novelty to last anywhere near as long as your average Hallowe’en slasher flick.

There’s a wealth of entertaining content that’ll keep you coming back for more, and, even if you get frustrated, you’re frequently showered with in-game achievements, which provides the necessary encouragement for one more go.
