God Of War II (Sony) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Accessible, exhilarating and macho as all hell, it's another thunderous outing for PS2's angriest anti-hero. Essential!

Heatseeker (Codemasters) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Lets you live out your airborne ace fantasies but fails to really test your piloting skills... or your mind for that matter.

Dancing Stage Supernova (Konami) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

If we needed to shed some lard, this is how we'd do it. If we needed birthday presents for the kids, we'd buy them SingStar.

NFL Street 3 (Electronic Arts) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Another sports effort spat straight out of the EA Street mould. Perfect if you're new to the series.

Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2 (Capcom) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A superb package with great games and some truly inspired extras - and a real trip down memory lane for some of us.

Burnout Dominator (Electronic Arts) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Another cracking Burnout. It isn't for the weak-hearted because of the difficulty at later levels, but when it shines, oh boy, it dazzles!

Alpine Ski Racing 2007 (JoWood) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Accurately recreates the thrills of going insanely fast down a mountain but it's one for true skiing fans only.

Avatar: The Legend Of Aang (THQ) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

Its simplicity is its strength when you start playing, but quickly becomes a weakness due to lack of spark and variety.

Little Britain: The Video Game (Revolution) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

No, but - just no. This is absolute drivel.

Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 (Codemasters) (PlayStation 2 (EU Version))

A quick-fire, enjoyable game of cricket, but Lara needs some serious polish before it can claim EA's much-prized wicket.

The Warriors (Rockstar Games) (PlayStation Portable)

A violent, ballsy, moody, stylish adventure that oozes late-1970s street cool and stays true to the spirit of the film. We can dig it.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Konami) (PlayStation Portable)

A fun game for short sessions, suited to the system and with some clever ideas, but it's not the proper Metal Gear Solid title we were expecting.

Chili Con Carnage (Eidos) (PlayStation Portable)

A treat of a game that lives and dies by its simple gameplay. You'll love the intense bullet action but it is repetitive. Worth a look.

Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon (Rising Star Games) (PlayStation Portable)

Takes time to blossom but grows into the kind of game PSP was made for. One to enjoy little and often rather than in long sessions.

Capcom Puzzle World (Capcom) (PlayStation Portable)

Super Puzzle Fighter II may still be capable of stealing men's souls, but the rest of Capcom Puzzle World is now no more than the stuff of freebie Flash game fodder. Approach with caution.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Battle (Konami) (PlayStation Portable)

A sprawling RPG/card fighter that deals out a solid cartoon-based battler, once you get beyond the tutorial. Colourful and cute.
