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.

You won't believe such a huge game has been released on XBLA. This will take ages to play through and is fun throughout.

Bioshock 2 is a wonderful experience which is gripping from start to finish, it doesn't stray too far from the original though, which may be its downfall in some people's eyes.

Playstation gamers will probably turn their noses up at this whilst Xbox followers finally get a chance to play a game like God of War.

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.
