Ghostbusters: The Video Game

One of the greatest video game crimes ever perpetrated on gamers was the fact that the awesome world of the Ghostbusters has never been given the proper respect it deserves - until now.

An excellent blend of nostalgia and new story, Original cast is back, Written by original team, Excellent graphics and sound, Lots of fun to play

A little short at 7 hours, can get a little repetitive at times

PS3 Red Faction Guerilla

If you like blowing the crap out of stuff, then Red Faction Guerrilla is something you will love. A return to form for the franchise, it is now a GTA style sandbox title and the transition has been done beautifully.

Destructable Environments are excellent ; AI is impressive ; Great Graphics ; Cut Scenes done well ; Varied environments and game play

Story is a little weak ; Controls can be awkward ; Vehicles are too light when driving

1 Vs. 100 DS for DS

When both these games crossed my desk, my first thought was “hhmm, bit risky putting popular television game shows into DS format”.

1 vs 100: Great fun eliminating up to a 100 people so you can feel good about how smart you are!Deal or No Deal: A good game, is a quick game to some

Both games can get repettiive after a while

Command & Conquer - Red Alert 3 (Xbox360)

Over the top units, cheesy dialogue, and lively visuals make Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 a game well-worth buying.

Strong visuals ; Well-balanced Factions ; Cutscenes with strong cast

Powerful superweapons can instantly change the outcome of the game ; Problems with waypoint and co-commander AI

Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Gears of War 2, developed by Epic Games Inc. have been a long awaited edition to the Xbox 360. Gears of War was a breakthrough in gaming technology when it was released in 2006, and Gears of War 2 carries the flag well.

Excellent back story, great graphics and a game that will be the benchmark for similar games for some time to come

Sometimes hard to find somebody online to play against

The Sims 2

The simulated world of Sims now comes with pets to play with - and you can teach a dog all sorts of new tricks with the Nintendo Wii wand controller.

The same Sims you know and love ; fostering the love of God's creatures ; playing interior decorator with a wand

Nothing new here ; cats and dogs only - no monkeys ; dying in fire

TAKE 2 INTERACTIVE Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

While the battle rages between next-gen consoles, sales figures show us that the DS is still high in the popularity stakes. So we take a look at Fantastic Four designed specifically for the Nintendo DS.

Using the stylus against the first Boss ; creative bullet patterns ; Galactus makes a fine entrance

Every boss battle is the same ; clunky, unresponsive controls ; dull level design, and short game
