Beowulf: The Game is a simple and gory tie-in to the big budget movie. However, it doesn't live up to the epic nature of the classic poem and it certainly isn't going to make you forget about God of War III either.

It's frankly the one to miss, unless you're stuck with just a Wii and a Sam Fisher fixation.

Beyond its online career mode, there's not much that leads Juiced 2 to stand out from the pack. It's an unassuming street racer with few flaws, but at the same time, few outstanding qualities. Even the visuals don't inspire much, leaving Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights cold by morning.

There are just too many problems with Kane & Lynch to cover here. The gritty atmosphere and balls-out gunplay offer some thrills, offline co-op demands a strong partnership, and the online cops-and-robbers mode holds some potential, but it takes a lot more than a hard-boiled noir tone and a mildly interesting amalgam of ideas to form the taut tour de force Kane & Lynch aspires to be.

At the end of the day, playing Lost Planet is like dating a supermodel with personality problems: It's great looking and has the potential for good times, but ultimately, it's just not worth the trouble. Hardcore gamers will be able to test their uber-l33t skills against the game's difficult enemies, but I play games to have fun and though there are some good moments in the game, but they're too few and far between.

In the end, TMNT provides some fairly fun ninja-style leaping around, but it's hampered by boring combat and annoying jumping puzzles that further suffer from control issues.

It could have been a fantastic survival horror game, but Homecoming is hampered by lacklustre gameplay and a linear story.

At World's End delivers exactly what you'd expect from a movie licensed game: It's deep enough and features enough referential material to draw in the diehard fans of the source material but it isn't innovative or interesting enough to stand alone in the action genre. However, if you come in with lowered expectations, you just might have fun with it.

Oh, what could have been! An RPG with this kind of pedigree should have been something Xbox 360 owners could be proud of; instead, it disappoints and is yet more proof that the 360 needs more quality RPGs and fast. Keep your fingers crossed, 360 fans, that Final Fantasy XIII delivers the goods

Some fun—but probably not long-term playability

Untamed is a pup past its prime. The multiplayer mode holds potential overall but the uninspired off-road racing and bland presentation means you should only consider it if you're a die-hard franchise fan or an off-road racing junkie.
