Prototype - Xbox 360
Hit, miss or maybe?
12 June 2009 16:52 GMT
- The Good
- Large city to explore, it does a good job at showing a city sinking down to hellish depths
- The Bad
- Poor aesthetics, story difficult to keep a firm grip on, dodgy targeting system.
- Verdict
- We'd been told to expect blockbuster action and riotous fun. We got dodgy visuals, poorly realised story, and a sub-par battling system. Shame
-
Soldier of Fortune: Payback – Xbox 360
It's back, but does it work on the 360?
23 January 2008 13:00 GMT
- The Good
- It looks quite pretty
- The Bad
- Horribly bad enemy intelligence, lasts a mere 4 or 5 hours, violence a little too horrific
- Verdict
- With so many cracking FPS titles out there, this gruesome attempt deserves to be left well alone
-
Guitar Hero Greatest Hits - Nintendo Wii
Worthy of the "greatest hits" title?
15 July 2009 19:37 GMT
- The Good
- All master tracks, supports full instrument set, approachable structure, online play and character customisation
- The Bad
- Lack of DLC, no new features of note
- Verdict
- Many fans will dispute the track-choice in this "best-of" album, but the master-track conversion and full instrument compatibility should be enough of a pull
-
Guitar Hero 5 - Nintendo Wii
The start of a new era in rhythm rocking?
18 September 2009 9:00 GMT
- The Good
- Wide-ranging setlist, loads of new multiplayer modes, DS compatibility for Wii owners, Party Play and Mii Freestyle are excellent additions, far more approachable to casual users
- The Bad
- Instrument calibration is awkward
- Verdict
- Activision has really pushed the boat out with Guitar Hero 5, creating the most approachable and enthralling rhythm-rocking game to date
-

-
Quantum of Solace - Xbox 360
Movie tie-in or worthy game?
1 November 2008 11:20 GMT
- The Good
- Easy to pick up, relive live the Daniel Craig Bond movies, multiplayer
- The Bad
- Cover system makes it easy, regenerating health means it's hard to die
- Verdict
- Bond fans will love it of course, but for the die-hard FPS fan, this really is just Call of Duty by a different name.
-

Can this out rock Rock Band?
18 November 2008 16:00 GMT
- The Good
- So much fun as a full band, tonnes of classic tracks
- The Bad
- Poorly produced instruments, difficulty spikes remain
- Verdict
- If it wasn’t for the dodgy instruments and few difficulty spikes, this would claim top spot
-
Call of Duty 3 - Xbox 360
World War II is back on the Xbox 360 in full Technicolor glory
10 November 2006 7:00 GMT
- The Good
- Graphics, sound, gameplay
- The Bad
- Not much room to roam, nothing overly groundbreaking over last year's efforts
- Verdict
- The only thing stopping Call of Duty being the first choice shooter on the Xbox 360 this Christmas is Gears of War
-
Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith - PS2
13 May 2005 11:50 GMT
- The Good
- Fast paced action, graphics, duelling mode
- The Bad
- Camera angles can be a tad annoying, as can being restricted in an area before you can move on

-
Nokia N-Gage QD Game Deck
10 May 2004 17:57 GMT
- The Good
- Better phone handling, backwards compatibility, Bluetooth
- The Bad
- No camera, or MP3 playback
- Verdict
- We think it’s too late for the N-Gage but it is the one device to really test this so-called mobile gaming re-emergence.
-
Hitman Contracts - PC
26 May 2004 19:33 GMT
- The Good
- Great soundtrack as ever
- The Bad
- Max Payne freedom and mission recycling detract from the series
- Verdict
- Some may like Hitman as Max Payne but Hitman 3 needs longer than a year’s work to make a worthwhile game.
-
Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb - PC
16 December 2003 11:04 GMT
- The Good
- Great music new and old; action
- The Bad
- None unless you want more than a platformer
- Verdict
- Unusually a game where a port hasn’t really impacted much on quality, as the game was already good enough- as long as you liked platformers
-
Call of Duty - PC
15 December 2003 16:36 GMT
- The Good
- Natural successor to Medal Of Honour
- The Bad
- All over too quickly in single player
- Verdict
- BAFTA can’t be wrong (CoD won game of the year) it’s a classic. Buy now before the add-on arrives. Keep difficulty maxed to make it last.
-
Day of Defeat - PC
15 December 2003 16:59 GMT
- The Good
- Demands practice, then progressively rewarding
- The Bad
- Like old Counter-Strike, ugly; superseded by Steam Download
- Verdict
- DoD requires work (and now Steam) – so it’s one for the hardcore. Everyone else? Call of Duty or Enemy Territory.
-
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2
14 November 2003 16:36 GMT
- The Good
- The ultimate standard (until the PCI Express version)
- The Bad
- Crap Win98 installation
- Verdict
- So far, so Live! Non-XP installation issues are nothing new even for market leading Creative cards so stick with the updating and you’ll be fine
-
Xbox console
14 November 2003 15:38 GMT
- The Good
- The (current) price
- The Bad
- Hoovers up exclusives; console hasn’t shrunk with gamepad
- Verdict
- Lacking the breath of games of the PS2 this is still a strong console contenter
