The amount of depth and variety in the Isles, combined with how different the Isles feel from the rest of Cyrodiil make this expansion a worthy addition to Oblivion, and a worthy addition to your hard drive.

One of the nicest things about the game is how aurally pleasing it is. The soundtrack is masterfully constructed and each distinct area has its own background music.

Sega have by no means revolutionised the genre but they have successfully brought a much loved series to the next gen and it is as lovable as ever. It has the playability, the fun and competitive edge that any sports title should have.

While almost every facet of this game is atrocious, there is a sort of charm that EDF carries that has so far been unseen on the platform.

Without Ultimate Team mode, there wouldn’t be a whole lot of new content to see here. The FIFA series is certainly making progress but if you already own "FIFA 2007" we recommend you hold onto it until "FIFA 2008."

It looks awful, it’s incredibly linear, all the characters are basically the same and the game just isn’t a real challenge for the competent gamer. Yet you’ll play this game and realise that it’s pretty fun.

With unlimited credits in the single player, you’ll wonder why you are playing a game that offers absolutely no challenge, since the removal of the credit system allows you to hammer X all day long without worrying about your credits running out. The Achievements won’t keep you playing, since the majority require a fair bit of work to get.

You’ll enjoy playing the game, but you won’t be able to stop wondering what the game could have been without the 50 MB limit.

This game feels more like "Fight Night: Street" than a next-gen Def Jam game, regrettably. All we ever wished for were new moves, new fighters, better graphics and online and EA gave us all that but in the process they broke the main thing that made this series interesting in the first place; the fighting engine.

But yes, apart from all the good things it’s a shameless cash-in, that falls short of becoming a classic in its own right, and simply gives us more of what we loved last year, without truly innovating or leaving the treaded path.

Essentially it's a huge Arcade game that will give you an awful lot of tremendous fun as you blow up half the city and kill everything that moves in the most creative ways possible, and moves to levels beyond fun when playing with a friend, but lasts too short to really stand high above the crowd and be remembered for years to come.

With superb animations, a unique color filter for each court, and excellent player models, the game is real easy on the eyes.

While EA’s effort is admirable and the improvement is notable, PES6 just has an undeniable superiority in its depth in gameplay, which will always beat graphical dominance.

The variety of online play is a great boost to replay value, as you can play for hours without having the same game experience twice.

Just don’t buy this if you are going to be playing on your own, or if you think Live will it make up for it, because it really doesn’t, not by a long way.

Definitely one of the better arcade games around and it gives you a lot of bang for your buck. The game mechanics are very simple but it remains challenging and that’s what is making it so addictive.

The foundation is there; memorable creature designs, epic boss battles, and strong gameplay make Lost Planet worth experiencing. Though slightly marred by some odd decisions with gameplay mechanics, the experience is still delectable and is an easy recommendation.

The main problem is, like most arcade games, I can’t see it lasting too long, or not long enough to justify a ten-dollar purchase. You’ll have to ask yourself, then: “Do I like racing around and crashing things?” If yes, this is probably the XBLA title for you.

If you already have Smash TV (which is basically the same but 400 Points cheaper), then I cannot stress enough that you do not need this game. If you don’t have Smash TV, then Assault Heroes would be better option, but even then, you will tire of it quickly.

While this game was postponed many times, it still feels like it’s not finished yet and rushed to the market ASAP. The campaign is too short and should have included all 5 eras completely (and not just 2-4 missions from Deep Space Nine and Voyager).

At its core, the game is founded on a terrific physics engine that makes for an enjoyable sci-fi puzzle-solving romp.

The product is better than most other offerings in the Arcade areas, and most of you won’t regret spending money on this. However, with it being a fully focused multiplayer game, the single player feels rushed and unloved, offering you nothing to go back to.

Yea, there’s an incredible, lush environment for Superman to engage in, but it is completely barren when it comes to crime for him to face off against. In Superman Returns, Kal-El’s greatest villain is boredom. The curse lives on.

Although you know the game isn’t adding much to the genre, the things it does differently are excellent, such as the stacking up on a door, with the ability to tag enemies and watch as they get taken out in excellent style.

Shadow and Silver are decent characters, Sonic’s not so amazing, and one of the very worst problems is load times of all things. If you like Sonic, rent.

I also found this year's Season Mode to be even more fun than before. I feel that this had to do with the excellent storylines.

Poorly executed at almost every turn. The gameplay doesn’t enhance the visuals like it should, rather it significantly detracts from them. The gameplay is the desert you have to walk through to get to the oasis of the boobs.

RARE hasn’t showed as much promise on the Xbox platform as they had back in the Nintendo days, but the tide has turned, and Viva Piñata has become my sleeper hit of the year, and might very well be my personal game of the year.
