Wii Sports Resort

By James Billington

Flex, stretch and get off your sofa for the next instalment of the mum-friendly sports title

More activities / Accurate / Bundled with Wii MotionPlus

Requires Wii MotionPlus / Lack of Balance Board interaction

Multiplayer action such as four way canoeing is a great laugh, and an even funnier sight. However, each player needs a MotionPlus pack. One comes bundled with the game, but extras cost £25 alone

Lego Battles

By Dave Stevenson

Prototype

Prototype

By Dave Stevenson

Shred, mutate and run your way (vertically) through New York

Fast gameplay / Huge game area

Repetitive at times / Last-gen graphics

If you're thinking at this point that being able to cleave people in half with a forearm sounds neat, you're right: Prototype is spectacularly good fun an awful lot of the time

Red Faction: Guerrilla

Red Faction: Guerrilla

By Dave Stevenson

Save the workers and take down the odd building in this cracking Mars-based shooter

Enormously enjoyable / Destroy-able buildings / Huge gameplay area

Lacklustre storyline

Still, Mars has been colonised, and the miners who labour there do so under the yoke of the Earth Defence Force. The Red Faction is a kind of communist party-lite dedicated to workers' rights, freedom for all, and spectacular explosions

MadWorld

MadWorld

By James Billington

Can comedy cut the controversy in the bloodiest video game ever?

Unique graphics / First grown-up game for the Wii

Camera angle / Longevity / Repetitive

Kills become repetitive, as does game commentary, but the variety of weapons on offer – from sign posts to spiked baseball bats – keep you pre-occupied to the extent that it doesn't matter

Wheelman

Wheelman

By James Billington

Vin Diesel stars in this crash, smash, and good for the trash video game

Vehicle combat system / Nice idea / Vocal talent

Texturing / Bugs / Short story mode / Vehicle handling

More development time and a decent iron to rid of the creases could make for a decent sequel

Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Gears of War 2

By Alan Stonebridge

The hyped-up sequel to one of the most popular Xbox 360 games ever finally hits our c

Great graphics / Exciting gameplay

Relatively short / Linear path / AI

The pace makes it all feel more like a war than an isolated strike team, and the levels get more interesting as the mission progresses on foot and in vehicles. Difficulty ramps steadily and manageably, keeping the determination up. Only an intensely ...
