Reviews

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.
LG New Chocolate

If you're looking for an excellent touchscreen with outstanding performance, look elsewhere. The LG New Chocolate looks great but lacks all the hallmarks of a great phone.
Buzz! Brain of Oz

If you fancy yourself as an expert on Australiana, Buzz! Brain of Oz might be the go for you. Be careful, though, the questions do get rather obscure and tricky at times, and there's the odd brain stumper about the motherland in there too.
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.
