It’s great to have so much in one game, but in the end you’ll play "Burnout 2" if you want to race and "Soul Calibur 2" if you want to fight, not True Crime.

This is a good game, wielding a light saber is really cool, but because first-impressions are so bad, some may be tempted to return it before they even get they’re hands on a lightsaber.

It takes elements from many great shooters and has bundled them into a real life based situation.

Football purist may not be interested, but if you like over the top arcade sport sims in the tradition of "NBA Jam" and "NHL Hitz," this is an excellent choice to satisfy your football needs during the winter.

The first game in quite some time that captures the feeling the old Sonic games gave you. It’s very fast and has pretty big levels with multiple routes through them.

It’s an RPG with battles! What more do you want? But it does have its down points, one of them being a high level of frustration endured in some places and don’t forget there being no mini games.

For a quick multiplayer session, this is perfect.

The game’s core elements – cue control and ball physics – work so well, you’ll take any inconveniences into the bargain. In a world full of action games, Pool Paradise’s relaxed style is a welcome change.

It brings new life to the bongos.

A true sequel; playing it feels more like playing new Viewtiful Joe levels than playing a new game.

A great war game; great controls, great atmosphere. It continues the road walked with Frontline and tweaks some of the elements.

The strategic long fights are a welcome relieve from the button mashing found in most other boxing games, you really have to observe and react to win matches.

It's good but lacks having any special feel. It's got all the ingredience of a fighter that we have all grown towards and learnt to love.

The top speed gameplay and accompanying effects that come with it are really impressive. The only real downside is that there isn’t enough depth in the gameplay.

They need to make it exciting when you are traveling to places, either that or cut the travel distance down.

Lifespan is the main issue here, as everything else is in place. It took me a week to finish Race and Showoff mode with one character. There is loads left, though, so the potential for a long lasting game is there, it just really depends on whether or not you want to go through it all again and again.

The hacking mode is a very innovative feature.

The levels are pretty big and there is something to do on every streetcorner, and whether it’s taking a racing challenge from Milhouse, visiting Moe’s or just driving over the comic book guy, it’s always fun.

It’s definitely the Mario Party title you’ll want to buy if you’re new to the series, since it has the most minigames and the best boards of the Cube iterations.

If you enjoy arcade style boxing games where simplicity is a major priority then Black & Bruised is definitely for you. It's certainly enjoyable and the characters that populate the game look wonderful and ooze personality.

Not a reason to leave the beach, but for anyone who likes a decent shooter this stylish game is a great choice.

The story is your typical Tom Clancy affair, complete with terrorist threats and biochemical weapons, so don’t look for fresh ideas there. The replay value is beaten down by the lack of multiplayer modes and the fairly linear levels.
