FIFA 09

FIFA 09 (N-Gage)

By Joseph Hanlon

fifa 09 (n-gage) review: Despite its good looks and wealth of game modes, FIFA 09 for the N-Gage plays too slowly to be a truly exciting football experience.

Deep gameplay options including five game modes, Good performance and presentation, Replays and highlights

Gameplay is sluggish, Controls on phone are awkward

Despite its good looks and wealth of game modes, FIFA 09 for the N-Gage plays too slowly to be a truly exciting football experience.

Guitar Rock Tour

Guitar Rock Tour

By Joseph Hanlon

guitar rock tour review: For the money you get a good set of songs and a pretty engrossing rhythm gaming experience. Though you may also get a case of RSI thrown into the bargain.

Good track list, Guitar and drum modes, Fast gameplay

Some song covers are a bit dodgy, Tap Tap Revenge is free

For the money you get a good set of songs and a pretty engrossing rhythm gaming experience. Though you may also get a case of RSI thrown into the bargain.

Disney Sing It

Disney Sing It

By Sarah Creelman

disney sing it review: It's great fun for kids and fans of the Disney films featured, with practical tools to help take melody and singing skills from average to awesome!

Easy to use for anyone familiar with the Singstar format - it uses the same microphone peripherals, Sing It Pro training system gives practical tips and training to improve singing performance, Gives kids a fun platform to develop a practical interest in...

Overly sensitive scoring system - there may be some tears ;), No online functionality or additional download tracks available, The song/lyric content on Sing It is sometimes a little racy for the more conservative Mums and Dads - for the younger ones, Sin...

It's great fun for kids and fans of the Disney films featured, with practical tools to help take melody and singing skills from average to awesome!

Nintendo Disaster: Day of Crisis Wii

disaster: day of crisis review: Wielding more Wii Remote-waggling moves than you can shake a quake at, Disaster's lack of clear gameplay focus has resulted in a game that is competent at best and never compelling.

Awesomely cheesy story, On-rails shooter sections are fun

Too easy, Tries to do too much, Driving sections can be frustrating, Lacklustre graphics and sound

Wielding more Wii Remote-waggling moves than you can shake a quake at, Disaster's lack of clear gameplay focus has resulted in a game that is competent at best and never compelling.

Prince of Persia 3D

prince of persia review: Prince of Persia's shimmering veneer and joyous platforming will cast a spell on you.

Intricate level design, Beautiful art direction, Platforming is entertaining and looks great, Cinematic combat moves are cool to pull off and impressive to watch, Elika's presence leads to unique gameplay mechanics

Really, really easy, The new prince isn't a good leading man, Some combat and platforming annoyances

Prince of Persia's shimmering veneer and joyous platforming will cast a spell on you.

Left 4 Dead

left 4 dead review: Left 4 Dead makes both sides of the zombie apocalypse a thrill to experience, as long as you're not alone.

Dynamic enemy placement make each play-through different, Tight controls and well-tuned guns, Stiff challenge makes survival difficult and thrilling, Versus mode expertly turns the tables, Killing survivors is as fun as killing zombies (if not more so)

Campaign is less fun when played alone, Only four campaign maps

Left 4 Dead makes both sides of the zombie apocalypse a thrill to experience, as long as you're not alone.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

zack & wiki: quest for barbaros' treasure review: Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

Clever and unique puzzles that are challenging without being overly difficult, Plenty of different stages to play through, some with multiple solutions, Sharp graphics with excellent art style, Good use of the Wii Remote

Story and characters aren't especially interesting, Sometimes grating voice work

Zack & Wiki is a delightful blend of the Wii's motion-sensing technology and challenging yet approachable puzzle design.

Top Spin 3

Top Spin 3 Review - PS3

By Luke Anderson

top spin 3 review: Top Spin 3 is a great tennis game, offering a deep challenge for diehard fans and one of the closest experiences to playing a grand slam.

Plenty of tennis pros and tournaments, Players are realistically animated, Looks and sounds great, Challenging gameplay

Difficulty might alienate casual fans, No Ana Ivanovic, Player-creation tool could be more user-friendly

Top Spin 3 is a great tennis game, offering a deep challenge for diehard fans and one of the closest experiences to playing a grand slam.

NBA 2K9

NBA 2K9 Review - PS3

By Aaron Thomas

nba 2k9 review: NBA 2K9's game is strong, but most of its new features won't be appreciated by the average Joe.

Gameplay is excellent, Fewer missed layups this year, Living rosters provide up-to-the-minute statistical changes, Announcers do a nice job calling and analysing the action, Signature player animations look great

Very few noteworthy additions, Free throws are still harder than they should be, Controls are too complex, Play-calling and ads sometimes obscure gameplay

NBA 2K9's game is strong, but most of its new features won't be appreciated by the average Joe.
