Reviews

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

This disappointing film tie-in transforms the magical into the mundane.
Littlest Pet Shop: Beach Friends

A very light game of interest only to Littlest Pet Shop fanatics, but they'll most likely love it to bits.
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

The second Indiana Jones adventure expands and builds upon the previous, making for the best game yet in the Lego series.
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

Solid gameplay, challenging platform puzzles and a touch of whacky humour make Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier a good addition to Sony's much-loved series.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2

If you have any interest whatsoever in off-road racing you'd do well to take this beautiful and thrilling game for a spin.
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter

Despite its originality and charm, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a mediocre platforming game.
Fight Night Round 4

Though definitely an improvement over its predecessor, this boxing game isn't without a few problems.
Style Boutique

One part fashion mix and match, one part introduction to consumerism. Style Boutique's a weird little game, especially coming from Nintendo, but tween girls will love it regardless.
