A great game...But it misses out on the magic four stars because of the sheer difficulty that will undoubtedly throw certain people into spitting fits and hissing rages.

It's something that is planned in development to the last incoming grenade and Frontline is pretty much perfect in terms of dragging you into the action and delivering nail-biting, hair-pulling gameplay.

Graphically, SOAF walks a narrow line between ultra-realistic settings and way-too-sparse texture mapping.

There’s some incentive to replay the missions (to attain better scores and complete your card collection) but when similarly priced RPGs offer 50+ hours easily, Lost Kingdom’s value for money has to be questioned.

A great visual and auditory package, and an extremely entertaining game to boot.

The perfect gaming experience. Anyone who doesn't like it is a pansy wuss who needs sense beating into them with a baseball bat, and that's a fact. Capiche?

It may not be revolutionary for the genre, but it's as good an FPS as you're going to get today, with decent multiplayer to back it up into the near future.

It plays fine in very brief bursts if you’re accustomed to the arcade, but for anyone else it’ll prove to be source of much anger.

It's a little limited, primitive-looking (not in a Triassic way...) and short-in-scale for us.

Graphically, MotoGP is amazing. In terms of difficulty, this game will challenge even the most elite of console racers.

Given the type of game they set out to make, it's hard to see how they could have made it any better.

Creature Labs has decided to create a Pac-Man game that not only bears no resemblance to the original but is an absolute travesty of a title that certainly wouldn't have got a release without the Pac-Man licence.

The missions seem more like replicants from other games, including the original Galactic Battlegrounds, Age of Empires, and just about every other RTS clone on the market.

The combat sections of the game are great and you have so much freedom of movement with your on-screen, bearded lovely!

Walking down the steps into one of the larger cities, Balmora, for the first time is a moment that will stay with players for some time to come. It's the best-looking RPG to date, undoubtedly, and certainly ranks among the most graphically-impressive games around.

With the more realistic animations and televisual camerawork, together with the new passing and shooting techniques and individual star skills, EA can be proud of the fact that it is the best game in the competition.

While the new version features revamped graphics and a few new options, gameplay is nearly identical to what it was five years ago.

An engrossing experience with a horrific backbone.

Overtaking games like "Gran Turismo," Criterion Games' racer is more like ageing Sega classic Outrun on a heavy dose of speed with a touch of Red Bull to help push things along.

It's visually stunning with a decently thought-out control system, and reasonably balanced mission scenarios. It only falls down where it tries to be too clever with its simple approach, taking away control where players might prefer to keep it.

If you're desperate for a Prince of Persia fix then give the free first episode a try and you might, just might, like it a little bit.

Certain key footballers like Beckham, Owen, Carlos or Figo have been designated as star players, granting them extra abilities like speed, strike power, free kick magic or skill on the ball. This prevents most of the matches ending too predictably.

Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza sucks. All that follows is exposition thereon.

Good old-fashioned crash-bang rally racing...Steel Monkeys' first serious racer is the first game since which really does the arcade rallying genre justice.

It's worth it, but only if you have the patience to deal with a control interface that could drive you batty.

Definitely hot stuff that hasn’t been burned too badly by the hands of time.

The controls for getting Spidey to do all these wonderful things are finicky and inaccurate at times, making our hero a trouble to handle in places where walls are electrified or there are dangers like harmful mist or falling rubble to avoid.

This is not a short game and once you've started you'll never want it to end.
