BioHazard 4
Resident Evil is back with a vengence. And it isn't taking any prisoners.
In the past Resident Evil was a survival horror. you traversed spooky, often claustrophobic, lands. Battling against slow zombies and an even slower control scheme. Another trait was the fixed camera angles which, more t... Read Full Review

Cel Damage
While this is a great multiplayer experience the single player is seriously lacking.
Cel Damage is a launch title for the Nintendo Gamecube. And while it looks and sounds good the gameplay is shallow and boring. Basically, you play as one of a host of characters from a TV show. The show is focused aro... Read Full Review

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Crash is back, in one of his most infuriating games yet.
Somehow, Crash Bandicoot actually amassed a following in the late 90’s. His adventures on the Playstation were basically SONY’s answer to Mario. Mario was always better, and this game proves it more than most. For som... Read Full Review

The Simpsons: Hit & Run
Shap and witty, this is a must have for all Simpsons fans.
Lots of games try to copy GTA. Very few (actually, None) ever come close. There is always something they miss. Whether it be scale, humour, graphics or gameplay. They always fail. So can Simpsons Hit and Run, a blatant G... Read Full Review

FIFA 06
Multiplayer is great. Single player is shallow
Single Player Slightly shallow. You can basically play as a team or make your own team. You can play in wealth of leagues or take part in cups. The problem is the gameplay never changes, and it is pretty basic to sta... Read Full Review

Luigi Mansion
A pleasent game that doesn't really do anything wrong.
Mario is Nintendo's trademark character. Sure you have the likes of Zelda and Metroid but nearly every person in the world could tell you who Mario is. So it was a bit of a shock that Mario's oft sidelined younger broth... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior
This game tries to be Halo, it fails on every level.
The PS2 is not good for FPS. The analogue sticks are too loose andaiming becomes a chore. So when Kuju tried to make an FPS on the PS2 they already had one obstacle in their way. To make it worse they have tried to make... Read Full Review

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Witty, clever, challenging and long. Everything a Mario RPG should offer.
The original Paper Mario was great. It offered Mario fans something they had not seen before, and gave RPG fans a game to intrigue and entertain them. It was great, so the sequal was inevitable. And now we have "The T... Read Full Review

Pocket Monsters Ruby Version
Not a huge leap from the previous installments but still a brilliant and enjoyable RPG.
Pokemon Blue is my favourite RPG of all time. Then Silver came along an was just as good. Now the next installments are here. They are just as addicting and offer a similar experience, unfortunatley it is alittle too sim... Read Full Review

Metroid Prime
Manages to capture all the exploration of 2D with the action of FPS
Matroid is one of the most loved Nintendo franchises ever. So, how to make Smaus go from a sketchy sprite to a full blown 3D adventurer. The answer was a long time coming, the N64 only a had a cameo appearence from the s... Read Full Review

Animal Crossing: Wild World
A charming game that is great in short bursts.
Animal Crossing is a very old game but was once Japan-exclusive on the N64. Then it came to GC and now to DS. While the core of the game hasn't changed much this version adds enough new stuff to make it even more appeali... Read Full Review

Gears of War
Gears is riddled with faults but the quality of the graphics and gameplay constantly shines through.
Gears of War has been teasing gamers for so long with its stunning graphics and unique take on the third person shooter genre. But now that it has finally arrived it is clear to say that the wait was worth it, well worth... Read Full Review

Halo (Xbox Collection)
A very innovative FPS that will surley be copied for the rest of time.
Consoels are not known for their FPS, in fact most people choose their mouse/keyboard combination when it comes to this genre. But HALO will surley change anyones mind. It is pure class from start to finnish and the perf... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: Tactics

Halo 2
This may be a let down in some areas but it still delivers the best FPS you could imagine
My opening message may be confusing but most will agree. The single player is both brilliant and a let down. We all expected so much and I don’t think anyone would have been satisfied however it was done. The ending ... Read Full Review

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Truly a great game that everybody should play at least once in their life time
Ocarina of Time is one of those games that ages well with age. Unlike FPS and RTS which get old quickly the adventure genre has basically reached the pinnacle in terms of gameplay and so the only way this game will becom... Read Full Review

Nintendogs: Lab & Friends

GoldenEye 007
Even now it plays well and has some of the greatest multiplayer known to man.
FPS doesn't age well. That is FACT, sure as death and taxes. The thing is FPS is an ever evolving genre, developers are always trying to add new elemnts so older FPS seems VERY dated VERY quickly. But somehow, even after... Read Full Review

Super Mario 64 DS
Shows how remakes should be done. Still a classic.
If you haven't played the original on the N64 then this is a must have title. If you have then it is still okay but don't expect much new stuff. The game sees you playing as four characters from the Mario world: Mari... Read Full Review

Pac-Pix
VERY short and simple but fun while it lasts. It also take advantage of the DS's features unlike most 3rd party games
This is not a game to be played for a long time as it will be finished quickly and gets boring. Play it on a bus journey (I am English so I don't know much about American bus's except school ones) and you wont be disappo... Read Full Review

Another Code: Futatsu no Kioku
DULL, and slow, for the hardcore point-and-click people only
WARNING, this is only for die hard fans of point and click/puzzle games. The trouble is all there is to this game is pointing and clicking, and it gets repetitive quickly. I am more of an action kind of guy (check gam... Read Full Review

Touch! Kirby
A great return for Kirby, a game that relies heavily on innovation and less of the crap stuff from previous Kirby games.
At first glance this game looks like it could die very eraly. The concept seems gimmicky and the fact that it stars Kirby (a.k.a. the pink testicle) means it could fall at the first hurdle. Fortunatley the designers o... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto III

Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack
Technically it is brilliant but for those with LIVE it is too expensive. (and those without LIVE don't need it)
Firstly HALO2 is one of the best games ever created. In my review I have given it a 10.0 and, while this may seem like fanboy-ism of the highest kind, I do think it deserves a 10.0 (possibly a 10.1). So, why the low s... Read Full Review
