The graphics are very clean and vividly coloured to match the colours of the suits. It's tempting to say it's quite simple but there's no way it needs to be any more adventurous since it gets the job done adequately well.

We can't recommend Half-Life 2 if you already own it on PC because nothing has been added to warrant it buying it.

Overall I rate this game pretty highly both on its visuals and its refreshing game play. Definitely worth a look as this game could keep you stapled to your sofa for days.

If you want to compare GUN to GTA, it's fair to say that it doesn't reach the level of enjoyment found in the GTA games mainly because the missions push you forward a little too much and you don't get the chance to explore as much as you might want to do.

It is truly epic so don't expect to play this for a couple of hours and be finished, and on this basis alone I'm not going to speak for everyone, but when offered the choice by Morpheus, I'll be taking the Red Pill and see how far the rabbit hole really goes!

You can't play City of Villains without thinking that Cryptic could have done much more. Given the relatively free-roaming landscape style of MMORPGs, more effort should have gone into actually making you feel like a villain. Instead you are left feeling like you're playing "City of Heroes", just in a different world and in a slightly darker pair of spandex.

With its easy to learn, skill-expanding controls, its awesome graphics and a rich skating environment with almost complete freedom, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland cements Neversoft's position as a leading producer of quality extreme sports games while offering another totally enjoyable and eminently playable epic for general gamers.

What is already in F.E.A.R. could not have been done any better, although unfortunately the game's tempo and difficulty stays relatively constant regardless of progress through the game, and seems to be missing another level as the game kicks on into its climax.

It's amazingly fun, amazingly wrong in that Rockstar kinda way we all know (and love), and amazingly right in every fundamental design choice. In short, Rockstar has pulled off a great feat by recreating a landmark movie into a modern classic video-game.

The engine has been put to good use and is a testament to id's engine development skill leaving an intense single-player Quake experience and Quake III's multiplayer only prettier.

Both multiplayer and skirmishing modes which were present in the original game are totally absent in Black & White 2. Thankfully, the single player game is a good deal lengthier than the first game.

Relic haven't evolved Dawn of War, just substantially added to it. This isn't evolution; this is simply more on top.

If you've got a powerful enough system, you simply must take advantage of it and buy Battlefield 2.

The main positives going for Destroy All Humans are its enjoyable action sequences, but these are alienated by, what are in nature, dismal fetch and find missions that lack the originality that the game was trying to deliver in the first place.

With only the control system as a let-down, San Andreas still delivers a quality experience you simply can't find anywhere else.

The concept behind Boiling Point is a good one but it is perhaps a little too ambitious, leaving many parts of the game a little dry and particularly bug-ridden.

Little credibility of the series actually materialises and what results is a routine and monotonous strategy game.

All-importantly enjoyable and undeniably addictive.

The story is great, the mystery is intense, and the protagonists are extremely likable. As a result, we found ourselves liking the game a lot in spite of its occasional shortcomings... all the more noticeable as they are because they interrupt what is otherwise a brilliant game.

Good as a tool for reliving the movie but not for experiencing it in the first place.

We can’t stress enough that you need a steering wheel in order to control cars with a good level of precision, to enjoy the extent of the realism, and to enjoy the game as it was intended.

Achieves a stunning degree of realism, both in graphics and actual game physics. If you enjoy racing your friends or merely the computer in a realistic environment, Forza Motorsport was designed for you.

A revolutionary title that has completely redefined the possibilities contained within this oversaturated and rather tired genre.

The animation is fantastic, but there’s not enough of it. The storyline is serviceable, but doesn’t really offer anything new.

The character designs are very imaginative, while the sets and graphic ideas are great. Raze truly is a cool looking character, and the Kewletts are too cute to leave alive.

If you're a fan of sharp humor, great stories, stellar gameplay, or Invader Zim, you simply can't go wrong with this gem.

If fast-paced action and bandage-wrapped fingers are your cup of tea, Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict is the game for you.

After all is said and done, Jade Empire is just another linear RPG with a familiar design.

The meat (ahem) of the game is quite fun. It's the fist fights, the repetition, and camera problems that plague it enough to keep it from being more then average.

The game is superb and well worth picking up for any race fan. In fact, it’s probably the best street racing and car-tuning combination game available to buy and the three cities and continual urge to upgrade your garage of vehicles will keep you busy for weeks.

The graphics are purty, the control is decent, the voice acting isn't half bad, and the story's even pretty good. And two player co-op, come on! What more do you people want?

Vicious Cycle did an excellent job in recreating the comic in a video game, too bad there's only one safe house to spawn from.

A challenging title that doesn't treat gamers like complete idiots and, with the team play oriented multiplayer aspects of the game, it's well worth considering this title to help while away those wet April afternoons.

If you're a Star Wars fan, even an old school purist like me, you will have a blast playing this game, especially if you have kids to help you out.

After getting through the initial few difficult levels and desensitizing myself to the gore and macabre of Doom 3 I was hooked.

One of the most striking things about Chaos Theory is its stunning visuals which top anything we saw in previous Splinter Cell games, even to the extent of making them look a little dull.

What sets this game apart from the rest is the life-like and believable urban zones in which you are forced to set up your defence or attack strategies.

The vision it presents of our military future is... well, actually, pretty damn cool.

The biggest problem with Musashi Samurai Legend is the same problem that’s plagued a lot of Square-Enix’s recent titles: it just isn’t nearly as fun as it feels like it should be.

The battles may seem simple, but they contain enough tricks and cards to provide depth beyond any simple shoot-em-ups.

The game’s artificial intelligence is impressive, and utilising the commands and setting team command points through the levels really makes it feel like you’re working through the game with real people who actually know what they are doing.

We say without hesitation that Brothers in Arms dethrones the likes of "Call of Duty" as the best World War 2 shooter out there. It is a strategic mind game and an intense action game simultaneously.

The game's artificial intelligence is impressive, and utilising the commands and setting team command points through the levels really makes it feel like you're working through the game with real people who actually know what they are doing.

This hard work, however, is denigrated by the repetition of character models throughout the entire game.

This game can be very short; about 15 hours tops. It’s a joy to watch, though, and serves as a quick fix for those in need of some shiny action.

The vision it presents of our military future is... well, actually, pretty damn cool.

MVP comes pounding into your console with a lot to offer for the single-player type.

Probably the worst Star Fox game released to date – but that doesn't necessarily make it an irredeemably bad game. It is still a shame, however, to see that Star Fox: Assault has been in development for about three years and this is the result.

It’s just too bad that the tongue-in-cheek events are few and far between; more of them might have made Playboy: The Mansion feel a lot more fun and a lot less sleazy and dull.

Though the tired ramblings of the characters and classic game plot aren't the most original, it does faithfully honor its western theme.

Is it the best game ever? One of them, yes. Is it really that good? Yes, be prepared to soil yourself in distinctly un-adult ways – it's that good.

Whilst not perfect in every sense, Mercenaries attempts to give more power to the player over the storyline and events surrounding the North Korean war, and it's with this 'gimmick' that Lucas Arts have made a merely good game, into a great game.

This game rewards and encourages teamwork and the multiplayer team games can really bring some exciting gaming to your Xbox. Definitely something to look out for if you play clan games.

D-Day will make you curse yourself for every lost vehicle, unit and infantry man and your dreams will be plagued by visions of allied soldiers dying, one after the other, on a far-away beach in a foreign land.

There are hints of greatness here and there. But those hints only remind us of Warrior Within's predecessor, making this new Prince of Persia game's bad design decisions all the more obvious.

As solid an experience as can be found online. This game will absorb your life once you start playing, and crusty pizza boxes will become an all too common appearance around the house.

A refreshingly devious action game long overdue in the sea of 3-D platformers and first person shooters.

Choro Q is delicious sugar coated fun for the child deep down, or not so deep down, in everyone. Just don’t attempt to drive a real car any time after playing it, the urge to speed past other cars is almost to strong to ignore.

An addictive action RPG that just falls short of the mark due to sheer difficulty, linear game play and the lack of multiplayer options.

There is an element of comedy in Scaler and it is very welcome -it does lack the wittiness of, say, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, but it does make the game that much more enjoyable.

To put it simply, there is never a dull moment in Half-Life 2. In playing the game we could hardly account for a moment when we didn't have some kind of excitement or anxiety. The Source engine is a truly remarkable achievement.

A game that has one of the strongest single-player campaigns to ever appear in an RPG and it possesses a world so lush that you will literally want to sink your teeth into it.

As a whole, Call of Duty: Finest Hour feels like it was poorly assembled with shoddy A.I. and lacklustre graphics. Couple that with short, uninteresting missions and main characters that you couldn't care less about, and you have a game that may be worth a day's play but is a title that you wouldn't want to in your own library.

This is by no means a real fighting game, it lacks combos, character depth and added storyline features and cut scenes, which could have potentially created a stunner, but overall, it's a fun –but limited- game.

Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space had the makings of a good game, but poor storyline, painful acting, and lobotomy-level difficulty turned it into a sub-par platformer.

Not a realistic racer, the details of physics aren’t there, and some of the reactions the car makes are not accurate to say the least. But we don’t think that matters, NFSU2 is a great, loveable game which, taken at face value – a fun-filled racing game – is great fun and enjoyable to play and progress through, if you’re in Career Mode.

What Halo 2 isn't is a huge leap forward for the FPS genre, and Halo 2 suffers for it in terms of it's longevity. Run, gun, hide, run, gun and hide again; this isn't a cerebral shooter -but then again, it was never meant to be. We were wishing for more than we ended up with, however. [Single-Player review]

Delightfully original.

Our final issue with the game is that, there is no variety in what you are doing each level changes your location, immersing you into another lush environment, but the aim is always the same; whatever Helghan party you come across – kill them and move on.

A flawed attempt at mimicking the movie. The presentation is spot on and the characterization is fantastic.

Instead of following the tried-but-not-always-true formulas often found in fantasy RPGs, it manages to save itself by being nothing but irreverent and just a little bit rude.

Surprisingly easy to pick up, and startlingly difficult to master, San Andreas offers the most complete gaming package ever made on the current generation of consoles.

It's a fun and feature-rich simulation game which will have you hooked for hours on end.

Instead of following the tried-but-not-always-true formulas often found in fantasy RPGs, it manages to save itself by being nothing but irreverent and just a little bit rude.

It is intended for those of us who found humor in this summer's comedy film, "Dodgeball": if you like crass-but-sarcastic-and-witty humor, you can't go wrong.

Plagued by long load times, non-descript graphics and frustrating level design, and is hampered further by the fact that checkpoints can be few and far between.

Atlus has taken advantage of the PS2’s capabilities to the utmost, with just the right ratio of puzzles and side quests to plot advancement to keep both novices and veterans of the series happy.

Prettier graphics and fewer bugs would have been nice, but this game passes the true test: high entertainment value.

Ty 2's uncomplicated game play, straightforward story, and friendly quality create a fun experience for younger gamers and could provide a couple of hours distraction for older players.

Although the gameplay is confusing and disorientating, the game as a whole is a nice package. It has great presenation with a simple, straightfoward interface, and the overall atmosphere gives off a nice world domination feeling.

A fantastic conversion of a timeless classic and it has stolen the hearts of the online community once again.

The puzzles all have a reason for being there that is directly related to the story, which is definitely a major plus.

To say that Get On Da Mic is a letdown is a huge understatement. It instead feels like a game that never made it past the first stage of testing.

Thoroughly uninspiring.

Great fun, but could have been better.

Thoroughly uninspiring.

It seems unfortunate that the game’s strength depends on its weakness to gain lifespan, and while the Chess and Puzzle games are amusing, the core fighting element of the game is where most gamers will be directing their attention.

The entire single-player campaign just ruins what could have been a truly excellent sequel to what was a flawed but strong new entry into a well-established franchise. Instead, it feels as if Neversoft did not want to improve on what needed work and then prayed that players would not notice.
