When Scribblenauts made its debut at E3 earlier this year, it was the talk of the show, with more than a few columnists getting all in a tizzy and ranking it as the most impressive prospect of the show. Now that it's finally with us it's plain to see ...

200+ levels will keep even hardened puzzlers occupied for hours. Astonishing range of objects and animals at your disposal. Mind boggling range of possibilities

Woefully bad control method. Throw-at-the-wall levels of frustration with nonsensical A.I. Some level solutions are completely random and illogical

Mention the original 2001 PC release to your average flight sim fan and they'll go all glassy-eyed. Now console players get a taste of one of the best-loved and most highly regarded flyers on the PC. But with such acclaim comes more than a slight ...

High level of detail in the many real-life planes. Engaging and exciting dogfights. Accesible for newcomers to the flight sim oeuvre

Glitchy visual issues, especially when higher numbers of enemies fill the screen. Detail of landscapes could be better. Realism and atmosphere tempered by ahistorical missions

They say that you should never meet your heroes. Without doubt, there are enough examples to suggest you should never play your heroes in video games either. To be clear: the world does not need another bad superhero game. Rather good then that ...

Fantastically dark, disturbing and surprising story. Top-notch presentation throughout. Plenty of gameplay material to play through. Straightforward and fun combat mechanic

Too much reliance on 'detective mode' means you miss out on some of the glorious visuals

This fancy driving set-up lets you play driving games the way they were meant to be played, with steering wheel, pedals and a proper gear stick - but it'll cost you. The fully-featured ready-to-play configuration costs the best part of £2,000.

Solid build quality, handsome design

Assembly might prove challenging, and a fully-configured unit costs the earth

EA throws its hat into the ring with this contribution to the rapidly expanding fitness game market. After the success of Nintendo's Wii Fit balance board there has been a succession of titles hoping to cash in on this apparent fitness boom. So what ...

Cheaper than a gym membership. Great variety of activities holds boredom at bay. Reasonably tough exercises will challenge most

Frustrating inaccuracy of Wii remote in some exercise challenges. Wii cord is too short for certain body types. Less than amazing production values

So you think you're having a bad day. BOOM! A massive bomb drops, killing thousands of people, but somehow you're the only guy to come out of it without a scratch. Then you discover that you've been bequeathed super powers that transform you into a ...

Great style to the comic book cut-scenes. Well developed characters and perfectly believable storyline. Excellent game physics provide seemless enjoyment

Graphics don't have 'wow' factor. Occasional popping up of scenery. Takes a few hours of play to hone your skills

Calling all zombies - are we done yet? I thought we'd seen the last of you lot in Left4Dead. And Resident Evil 5. And Blood Siren. And the new download for Call of Duty. Seriously, aren't we nearing saturation point in terms of the undead's presence ...

Best looking game to date on Wii. Plenty of unlockable content to keep you interested. Overall, a quality production with a great soundtrack

Occasional graphical glitches get in the way of proceedings. Weird AI leaves enemies stuck, walking 'in' walls. Frustrating and unfair popping in of enemies

Tom Clancy should try to relax more. I've got nothing against Ubisoft's near-future military series, but it does seem to take itself so seriously all the time. So it's a rather jolly surprise that as the action gets its first airborne sortie the ...

Wide variety of realistic looking planes. Good number of pretty locations. Atmospheric audio. Slick Presentation

Not enough multiplayer modes. Difference in plane handling is minimal. Nasty graphics close to ground

Daily Mail hysteria alert! - Those scamps at Rockstar have doctored that nice, gentle brain-training gadget endorsed by Judi Dench and Jean Luc Picard into a device for drug dealing and causing wholesale mayhem - and in doing so have created one of ...

An impressive extension to the GTA series. New features and great use of touch screen. Hours and hours of gameplay, plus multiplayer modes

Control method and focussing between two screens takes some getting used to. Multiplayer limited to two players. Elevated trains and quirky camera angles can occasionally block your view

Violence has a long tradition in artistic expression. From cave paintings, through war poetry, all the way to Saw IV - blood and gore have been part of entertainment for millennia. MadWorld proudly continues that tradition by being both ridiculously ...

Terrifically silly and hilariously violent with suitably goofy characters

A limited colour palate for a game that can't escape the shadows of its competitors
