If you have ever had an interest in Sherlock, Jack the Ripper or detective stories in general then this is a solid game with some great puzzles that will entertain for days.

For those who, like me, enjoyed the first game in the Echo series, you will no doubt jump at the chance to continue in the sequel to these strange puzzling adventures and it will be a welcome return.

Heavy Rain is a beautiful, wonderfully presented title and while there will be those who decide to pass it by, those who don't are in for a real treat.

If you can overlook the flaws and are desperate for an RPG then its passable, otherwise avoid.

You will be pleasantly surprised by what this simulator offers. A must buy any day.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International is Solid and fun, but some mechanics let it down.

A simple idea that has never been done before. A short and fun title at a reasonable price considering it's for charity. I would like to see more of the same in the future.

This is only for the must have completionists wanting to fill in the gaps for the story.

A perfect substitute to all those newspaper puzzles you do on the way to work. Sadly a little too easy for the hardcore puzzle gamers.

Blood Bowl is quite a disappointing game which is hard to play and not much fun.

Mass Effect 2 has the balance of an RPG as well as plentyt of action and adventure, making it the perfect console game.

Creating M.A.G was certainly a risk on Sony's part, however credit where its due because this game is an instant classic and worthy of a place in everyone's Playstation 3.

Something a little different but doesn’t have enough hold to make you stay with it for long periods.

Not groundbreaking but good enough for a downloadable game.

Dark Void is a disappointing game, it promised so much but at the end of the day it delivers so little.

Serious Sam is a fun game to play through and will appeal to fans on old style shooters, for others though the basic style of it all may be a step too far.

If you have anyone to play it with, either online or at home then Army of Two: The 40th Day is a great purchase but if you only play single player you won't get the most out of it.

Vancouver 2010 is a decent enough attempt at replicating the Winter Olympics, although its only getting a bronze medal from us.

Divine 2 is quite a disappointing RPG, there is no real feel of progression for your character and the presentation is quite poor. RPG fans may like it, but there are better games out there.

A much-improved Hazard, with humorous one-liners to suit.

Darksiders is a great way to start the New Year, it offers high quality action and brain teasing puzzles topped off by wonderful presentation. Don't miss this game.

Bayonetta is a fantastic single player game which offers a unique and compelling experience throughout. This is a title not to be missed.

This one will seperate the men from the boys, take the phone off the hook, get plenty of drinking water, send the kids out and get ready for hours of some fierce and stressful gaming.

Crystal Bearers has a great story and it’s also a game that anyone should be able to play. However the design choices really hamper the final product.

Not a great game, but good fun and offers something different to the normal Arcade game.

A great game at heart, but not without its flaws.

Buzz Quiz World is a fun game, its just a pity that the few flaws it does have keeps it from being a great one.

A good, classic arcade reboot for a reasonable price.

With so many puzzle games on the Xbox Arcade, Puzzlegeddon stands out from the crowd as an addictive and fun to play game.

Pixeljunk Shooter is a unique and addictive shooter, its got plenty to keep you thinking and every minute playing it is a joy. For the asking price its hard to fault, Highly recommended

While Stand O Food is fairly basic, it is still a fun and addictive puzzler.

Qix++ is a title that can't be faulted on gameplay but only having 16 levels is a major let down.

Though it is another sand box game, it is so much fun running around and blowing up Nazis. Sad that this is Pandemics final game but its a good one to go out on.

The location adds a little excitement but considering Ubisoft had a good couple of years of behind the scenes access we were expecting more than a 3rd person shooter involving a space marine.

Fortix is a strategic, mind bending puzzle/action game which will have you hooked from the moment you turn it on, it’s so very addictive and has that one more go appeal.

Gravity Crash is an excellent, addictive title which fans of this genre will love. Highly Recommended.

A well priced DLC that sadly ends a little too quickly, it would have been nice to play with new weapons but we can't have everything. A perfect add-on for Borderlands.

A little expensive considering not many of us play American Football in Europe, but if you enjoy the sport and have a few friends then considering purchasing this as it is well worth it.

Blast Off is a fun and unique title which offers a great challenge.

For a downloadable game Diner Dash is just right, but you can feel the DS roots here as it seems it would be easier if you could just touch the screen.

Echoes is a fun game which is well worth the budget asking price.

If you have the patience and a mind for maths puzzles then give it a go, otherwise avoid.

For a downloadable game Diner Dash is just right, but you can feel the DS roots here as it seems it would be easier if you could just touch the screen.

Peggle Nights is an excellent expansion which brings even more to one of the most addictive downloadable games around.

A huge improvement over the original, every element has been looked at and worked on making it a joy to play. Another must have top title.

While the idea of a skateboard peripheral seems a good one in theory, in practice it just doesn't work. Perhaps if Tony Hawk Ride wasn't so flawed it may have been a different story.

With so many improvements over the original this is well worth a trip to the shops. Be warned it is a lot harder than before.

Once the story is out of the way the real fun begins with a huge variety of puzzles and mini-quests to complete on each hub. Hours of fun and worth a go even if you own the original.

Planet 51 is a decent attempt at a movie based game, its main problem though is that it is just no fun.

With the sheer amount of high quality title on the DS, Planet 51 is a title that will no doubt be overlooked by most people and rightly so.

LittleBigPlanet on the PSP is this year's must have title, no owner of the system should be without it.

Jambo Safari is a game aimed at children and it does show, I played it and to be honest didn’t really find much to keep me entertained, however my little daughter seemed to have great fun driving the jeep around and looking at the animals and given the games target audience it seems that it’s done its job.

F1 Championship is a decent game, though it isn't perfect. There are certainly much better racers out there, however fans of F1 may want to check it out.

There are many better games out there and most of them you can find for free on the net. Will keep you occupied for about an hour both on and offline and thats it.

Modern Warfare 2 raises the bar for online gaming making this a must have for this area alone.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is a solid PSP title and more importanly, a very strong football game that captures the essence of the sport from young starters, pros and managemet

Military Madness will appeal to fans on the genre, however anyone else should may want to consider a more modern title.

Elemental Monstar is a fun strategy based game which should please fans of Strategy and Role Playing Games.

For those of us seeking a deeply storied adventure in which to save the world from the forces of darkness, Dragon Age delivers.

Well worth a place in your collection as one of the best platformers on the PSP, it is classic Jak and Daxter with some great aerial combat thrown in.

Lego Rock Band is a fun title, its just a shame that it is lacking a few features as otherwise it could have been a truly great title.

PES 2010 is a fast paced and frantic football game and while it lacks the polish of FIFA it's still great fun to play.

Fantasy fans are going to fall for this game, its a true Dungeons and Dragons style RPG for the console generation.

Will not doubt appeal to all the pop fans out there despite it being a Guitar Hero 5 clone.

An enjoyable, challenging and strong racing game for the Wii that sadly lacks online support.

Disappointing when compared to the PS3 version and even other PSP games. Could have bee a lot better.

A good expansion to mark the end of GTA IV, but not the best.

The graphics and soundtrack are very good, meeting the target audience perfectly.

Tekken 6 is probably one of the best fighters around. Fighter fans should own this one.

A riot to play with the volume up but it really is focused on single player. If you are a fan of dance music its recommended, if not, stick to Guitar Hero.

Forza 3 is without doubt the best racing game yet. Absolutely stunning.

Another excellent game that delivers on all fronts.

Not a bad game by a long stretch, but it could have been better.

Eyepet is aimed at families and in this respect it is an excellent title which works brilliantly. Move over Nintendogs there's a new pet in town.

Trine is a fantastic title which offers a great mix of action and adventure. A game well worth considering.

A good game in many ways, let down by its lack of fun.

Borderlands is a excellent title, which is a must have for fans of both FPS and RPG games.

Smackdown Vs Raw 10 has the look of the TV show but lacks the excitement of fighting in the ring.

If you love football then you will love FIFA 10. This is the most realistic football game to date.

FIFA 10 on PSP really has set a high bar for others to follow, its packed with features and great fun to play.

Though an update of the DS version, GTA Chinatown Wars is a great game that grabs you from the first minutes play and won't let go. Another must have title from Rockstar.
