Flower PS3

Here is my musical review of Flower on the PS3, I've called it 'This Poem'.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold Wii

Batman The Brave and the Bold offers something for families not ready to jump into Arkham's sinister rendering on the big consoles. This cartoon version of the capped crusader offers more Blam and less Blood.

Monsters vs Aliens 360

In today's Scripted Gamer Fred and Bob discuss heroes, villains and really bad jokes.

Contra 4 DS

Contra 4 DS enticed me back to an alternative future where pixels and sprites continued to reign. It's entertainment that I don't think I'll ever complete, but I certainly enjoyed the trip.

Limbo XBLA

Limbo on XBLA is a beautiful puzzle adventure with sinister and disturbing underbelly. Delivering no narrative of its own, I was free to invent my own adventure, which proved as affecting as any pre-built storyline.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii

Five second reviews. Written, folded and photographed by hand for your pleasure. My haikvu's bring you bite sized hand sculpted game reviews. They combine the Japanese art of origami with haiku poetry.

Toy Story 3 360

Toy Story 3 imagination wins through to create a game of real variety. Creative moments abound in both the story and open world modes - one for all the family to enjoy, casual or hard-core.

Assassin's Creed II 360

Assassin's Creed II is everything I hoped it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed the game, but where was all the sex we'd been promised? We might not get to see that kind of action, but fortunately what remains is a fantastic game on the PS3, 360 and PC.

Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 360

Lego Harry Potter's turnkey premise doesn't hold it back from advancing both game play and experience. Our family lapped up the co-op platforming and fell in love with the endearingly blocky rendering of Harry Potter's world.

Shrek Forever After Wii

Shrek Forever After Wii is the last platform romp from the final Shrek movie. A good combination of combat and puzzling means that the family can work together to guide Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss in Boots across an alternate dimension. Impressive four player co-op means that everyone can get play at the same time and save Far Far Away for one last time.

Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands 360

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands 360 is a direct sequel to the much-loved The Sands of Time. While The Forgotten Sands is an enjoyable, solid callback to the earlier game, it never quite distinguishes itself enough to emerge from its predecessor's shadow.

Ivy the Kiwi Wii

Ivy the Kiwi continues Prope's relationship with childhood trauma. This time it's in fairy tale form with their inventive new platform game.

Dark Void Zero DSi-Ware

Dark Void Zero recreates history in tangible playable beauty. Amongst the clamour for new, more and better it's refreshing to revisit the past with such dignity. Great to see the children's mind boggle as they comprehend a long gone era of gaming as well.

LocoRoco 2 PSP

LocoRoco 2's perfectly flowery world is perfectly executed, but not for me. That, as I've come to realise is more interested in those games where I can dress-up, role-play and lose myself in another character's shoes.

Naruto Shippuden Ninja Council 4 DS

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 DS is frustrating. Shallow gameplay, stifled platforming and unresponsive controls simply scream "cheap tie-in".

Epic Mickey Wii

Epic Mickey is darker and more grownup, but also offers an unusual platforming experience that references most of Disney's back catalogue.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an addictive masterpiece which takes me back to a time when completion was not an option but a mandate.

Lost in Shadow Wii-ware

Lost in Shadow looks beautiful and has platforming game play to match.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii

Super Mario Galaxy 2 manages to squeeze out another helping of joyous game play from Mario land. Building on what went before, and iterating where necessary, this is quite possibly the perfect platform game.

Fling Smash Wii

FlingSmash creates an all age platform game with Pinball and Tennis sensibilities.
