    It’s one of the best single-player games on the DS. Though the story and characters are terrible, it’ll take you several hours to complete the main quest. That aside, you’ll have hundreds of secondary quests, tons of jobs to master, and massive collection of items and abilities to acquire.

    Most definitely one of the most inventive games on the PS3. It blends a number of genres into a great package topped off with some great humor.

    You’ve a solid game that, whilst incredibly similar to its forerunner, brings the series up to date, especially in such a historic US election. Just don’t expect too much deviation as every play-through is anything but a winding road.

    As a console exclusive, it delivers a great campaign with unique features that set it apart from the majority of first-person shooters on the platform.

    Without much competition right now, Bad Company is a surprisingly fun and well designed effort.

    Top Spin 3 isn’t your friend, it’s not going to hold your hand and take you through the motions.

    An ambitious and in ways progressive survival horror game, whose ambition is hampered by its own numerous flaws. Whether these problems are a result of porting a current-gen title to a last-gen console remains to be seen, but the PS2 edition is very clearly a stripped down version of the impressive 360 game Atari have been displaying.

    Gyrostarr is a decent game, but it needs some polish to be truly great.

    If the peripheral wasn’t plagued with pestering annoyances and the ability to induce cramp after half an hours play, this may have been more of a success. With a lack of original or even quality track listing, this game begins to wear thin after only one play through.

    So if you really want to support Code Lyoko, go buy some of the DVDs or watch a marathon. Regardless of what you choose, it’ll be time better spent than with this game.

    The most innovative feature is that different creatures may appear depending on what time you dive.

    While the graphics are definitely dated, it’s the audio that makes the game stand out; crafting a classic game around music was definitely a gamble, and it really paid off this time.

    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will surely set the bar for this generations in terms of quality, and should be the benchmark for a truly great game.

    Metal Gear Online has a lot of potential for an online-only game, but it just seems incomplete at the moment in regards to content.

    If you have a Wii, then get this game. It‘s that simple. Blast Works is an amazing demonstration of how you can take an old concept and take it in directions that are limited only by your imagination.

    The great presentation - especially the audio effects - makes superb use of the handheld’s capabilities.

    After the final battle has been fought, the fact remains that this is one excellently polished and solid fighting experience.

    While it comes off as a tad bare-bones, Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is definitely worth getting if you're a fan, or if you just like fighting games without a great deal of depth, and the newly added online mode will keep the replay value high for quite some time.

    The Incredible Hulk is an enjoyable experience that has been let down by bugs and glitches.

    It does what the team seems to have wanted it to do fairly well, if not a bit unimaginatively.

    Despite the disappointment of the online mode, Aces of the Galaxy is a brilliantly crafted montage of many of gaming histories most successful titles.

    Roogoo is one of those games you need to be either on drugs or a zen master to truly appreciate, but regardless, many will find it addictive and possibly infuriating in a cute kind of way.

    It's rare to see a movie game that is enjoyable in its own right. Even without the Bourne license, Conspiracy would be a great action game. It blends two totally different gameplay styles together and delivers them in quick, intense bursts.

    All style and no substance is an appropriate way to describe the entire game, really.

    Ninja Gaiden II does have its faults, but the combat is good enough to keep the game entertaining and engaging, providing one of the best action titles on the 360.

    GRID isn't a hugely deep game, but it has an impressive array of small features and presentation pieces that serve to make it feel bigger than it really is.

    It’s just a shame it’s all over so quickly as a more epic adventure with Po and friends would have been most welcome.

    For a system that is criticised for the lack of games, you could do a lot worse that this.

    The “multiplayer only” tag is sure to put many off from considering the purchase at the current time.

    Though Citadel Action News rarely provides an editorial stance, we believe that all citizens across the galaxy should support Commander Shepard and his mission.
