YET another PS2 title given an HD makeover, but this time you get two games for the price of one - and they're classics.
Gameplay was never a problem - guide your character through a mystical land - but both were heralded at the time for fantastic graphics so married with the bumped-up hardware, they make for a terrific experience.
So if you're an old fan, you'll love the new look. If you've never played them before, you're in for a treat.
4/5
The Need For Speed series is back and this time it has a Cannonball Run style themed adventure as you take part in the illegal race The Run.
You have to get from San Francisco to New York as quick as you can and by any means necessary. There are no rules and no limits - but there are plenty of police.
Whilst the mechanics of the gam are nothing new at all really it does have a fantastic setting, superb storyline and you will enjoy tearing through the famous scenery.
Well worth a look.

Roll up, roll up for all the fun of the carnival... just make sure you bring your Move with you.
The controller is perfect for kids' party games and, with this in mind, Carnival Island offers one of the best packages we've seen.
Bursting with fun mini games from throwing hoops to flying frogs, Island also offers a very cool magic mirror mode that will warp your face just like mirrors in a fun fare.
4/5
THIS Christmas has seen a flood of Move games. Some are good, some are less so.
Unfortunately, Medieval Moves is the latter.
A cool idea - an action adventure married with some nifty new ways of using the 'wand' - is let down by dull environments and repetitive gameplay.
For youngsters only.
2/5
Another title aimed squarely at the kids market, Start the Party! is a bunch of mini Move games wrapped around the premise of battling the evil Dr Terrible.
The game relies on augmented reality to put you into the adventure as you take part in 20 quick-fire minis to rescue the planet.
While it's probably not a title you'll return to too often, it's enjoyable enough if you've got some friends round.
4/5
Fans left disappointed by last year's not-so-great Tekken 6 can feel a little better about the franchise with this bundle of goodies that packs a fair whallop.
The main attraction is a high-def remake of the PS2 classic Tekken Tag Tournament, which dispenses with the plot in favour of a huge punch-up with all your favourite characters.
Also included are a demo of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and the CGI film Tekken Blood Vengeance 3D.
4/5
EVERYONE'S favourite cuddly cyber pet is back - and this time with back-up.
This new version of the popular kiddies' title boasts two pets and augmented reality, meaning that two little'uns armed with Moves can each raise their own gribbly together.
There's also a lot more customisation than before to make sure they don't get bored.
3/5

Japanese adverts for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception show Harrison Ford amazed and ultimately bewitched by the latest instalment of this wildly successful series.
While it's a little disconcerting to see the man who played Han Solo frantically pressing buttons while wearing a look of befuddlement crossed with awe, it's a canny way to promote the game.

Resistance, as we all know, is futile. Resistance 3, on the other hand, is very good.
Set in an alternative 1950s, where aliens known as the Chimera have replaced humans as the dominant species on Earth, Resistance 3 is a first person shooter that sees you playing as former soldier Joe Capelli.

Any shooter that dares show its face these days gets a bashing from the Call Of Duty brigade.
I have seen the same thing happening with this latest title from THQ.
In my opinion that's quite unfair but not entirely unexpected. This may not be a ground-breaking shooter, but it is very cinematic and evocative to play.
True, it has an almost criminally short single player mode and the multiplayer mode isn't as good as COD, but on the same count neither of these make it unworthy of a play through.
I wasn't blown away by the graphics but I did enjoy the campaign mode and I thought the multiplayer mode online was well thought out and very playable.
On the whole, though, aside from the graphics and short campaign, it's hard to pick fault.
