Halo Wars
Halo Wars attempts to popularize the RTS on consoles using the expansive Halo Universe with a degree of success
Fact: I have never played an RTS game before. Fact: I didn't care a lick about Halo Wars until I decided to one day download the demo and give it a try. Fact: I enjoyed it! I never intended to buy this game, ma... Read Full Review

Pokemon Battle Revolution
A shallowly presented game with shallow gameplay. Only enjoyable if you own the DS games
I remember the old games for the N64, Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2. Those two games worked, because of their new and fresh feeling. Not only if gave players to battle their hard trained Pokémon in full 3D, but allowed them to t... Read Full Review

Pocket Monsters Diamond
Another notch in the franchise's long history, but unlike the previous installment, is actually enjoyable
Pokémon is one of those things most people are ashamed of, in other words, it's a guilty pleasure for most of us who grew up as kids during the late 90's. Such was the excitement of playing Red, Blue and eventually Yello... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed
Get past the complex and interesting (and sometimes not so interesting) plot, and you have a boring generic game.
This game is what some would refer as, "having the hype machine work overtime" Upon loading it up, I had expectations of this game. However, 1 minute into it everything was crushed as I learnt of the games "interestin... Read Full Review

Mass Effect
An Outstanding game on its own merits. And in the world of console RPG, stand amongst the best.
Mass Effect is a game where one can loose one's self in completely. BIoware has worked hard to ensure the player will be swept up in an epic tale that sees the player cross the galaxy to rid it of evil. Upon loading M... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy
A welcome return to the familiar formula seen in Super Mario 64, but with outstanding differences!
I'm beginning to notice, that when Nintendo releases a major game of one of their franchises, everyone takes notice. Super Mario Galaxy is an utterly brilliant game. One would have a hard time trying to find a game t... Read Full Review

LEGO Batman: The Videogame
Lego Batman offers the same as every other Lego game before it, yet is based in the dark world of the Dark Knight
The Lego series of games have become quite popular in recent years. Surely they don't make the same level of impact on the gaming community as did the first Lego Star Wars game, but still to this day they make people thi... Read Full Review

One of the all time best FPS'. Combat is immersive, with a great story line, its good to see a decent shooter out there.

Resident Evil
Amazing. A perfect trip down memory lane to where it all began. One of the best Resident Evil games out there
Resident Evil is by far, one of the most decent games for the cube. One can look at a Resident Evil game and only see one drawback, the controls. Sure RE 4 has come along, and changed the face of the series, but lets not... Read Full Review

Shadow the Hedgehog
Doesnt quite hit the mark, but regardless, a decent game to fill in the time
Being a self proclaimed Sonic Freak, I picked this game up to see how Sega had handled this latest spin off from the Sonic world. And, there was mixed reactions to the say the least The game itself looks and plays ver... Read Full Review

Guitar Hero World Tour
With this latest installment, Guitar Hero attempts to emulate a formula it's developers weren't ready for
When one thinks of Rhythm games nowadays, one tends to think of Guitar Hero. The first two games single handily created a new gaming icon, cemented in the millions upon millions the series has made ever since. When lead... Read Full Review

Rock Band
Rock Band goes one level above other music games and delivers a solid and wonderful rock-star simulating experience

Sonic Unleashed
In a show of blistering speed, Sonic escapes a grim fate and almost makes it work in this latest installment

Dead Space
Dead Space goes to great lengths to deliver an atmospheric, creepy, and enthralling experience
I've kept my eyes open for this game since it was first announced. As a part-time survival horror nut (I say part time because I really only enjoy the Resident Evil games) I was keenly interested in this games setting, a... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Outstanding. One of the best games for the console, let alone one of the all time great RPG's. A fantastic sequel.
If you played Knights of the Old Republic 1, chances are you’ll feel right at home with The Sith Lords. The basic gameplay and flow of the controls of the game are basically the same as with the first one, with slight im... Read Full Review

Ultimate Spider-Man
Somewhat repetitive, short and visually interesting. The ability to play as Venom is a treat. But not a must play
Activision may have though they were onto yet another winner when they employed the same free roaming system they used for Spider-man 2, but sadly they were mistaken. Whilst playing this game, I felt I was playing an add... Read Full Review

DOOM 3
Somewhat eerie atmosphere, but it doesnt help the game from having a overused FPS formula. Worth a look, nothing more
Doom 3 looks scary, everyone knows that. It was made with a great looking engine, but, it fails to impress this gamer, as well as many others. It looks great, it has awesome atmosphere, and keeps you on your toes, but a... Read Full Review

Pokemon FireRed Version
A great remake of a great game. A trip down memory for most, a new experience for those coming late to Pokemon
Over the past recent years, I have been too shy to pick up a Pokemon and play it, due to thinking I thought myself too old and mature to play a Pokemon game again. But, out of curiosity I picked up the remake of my child... Read Full Review

Fable II
As squeals go, Fable II is of the highest quality, though sadly it can't shake all of those flaws from the original

Alan Wake
Alan Wake, while not being the genre defining game many hoped for, is an entertaining and enjoyable experience
Alan Wake could be described in a few different ways. Silent Hill clone, slow paced Resident Evil knock off, cheesy video game version of a Stephen King novel. All are probably true, but in my opinion, it's the latter th... Read Full Review

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
The'missing link' of the film trilogy, The Force Unleashed satisfies with a brilliant story, and intense force action

Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 2 is Bioware's own 'Empire Strikes Back', improving on the original, while delivering on all it's promises.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
After half a decade, Smash Brothers returns, ripping onto the Wii with authority

Mirror's Edge
Mirror's Edges gives players a challenging fast paced gameplay, but ultimately fails at delivering something special

The Orange Box
The Orange Box is possibly the greatest deal in video game history. A full package of gaming delight.
I have to admit something first. I have not played Team Fortress 2. I don't play games online, so this pretty much makes TF2 useless to me. I will not factor Team Fortress 2 into my review of The Orange Box. I bough... Read Full Review

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Yet another Dragonball Z game, that, actually has enough in it to hold your focus for longer than two hours.
Dragonball Z game's have gotten to that stage where they simply don't offer anything new, except new characters and new stages etc. Budokai Tenkaichi 3 offers probably the most expansive roster of fighters in a DBZ game ... Read Full Review

New Super Mario Brothers Wii is an ideal traditional platformer that not only entertains but challenges you as well

Grand Theft Auto IV
A brilliant entrance into the next generation with this latest installment.

Tales of Vesperia
The latest entry in the long-running Tales series, which sees the move into HD. Vesperia is a wonderfully crafted JRPG
