Our guides answer the basic what, how, why, when, where and who questions about each game. What is the background to the game, of what genre is it part, how is it unique in this genre, why do people play it, when and where can it be played and how long is needed and finally who is ideally suited to enjoy the experience.
Wii-Sports Resort is still the most captivating experience on the Wii, and for good reason. Nothing better demonstrates the Wii's ability to entertain a wide range of gamers. With the MotionPlus Wii-mote attachment it offers divinely nuanced controls to create the King of motion controls. It'll be interesting to see how Kinect's energetic or Move's depth-aware motions compare to MotionPlus' fidelity.
Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders DS confidently turns literature into puzzles without loosing the sense of intrigue. A gently unravelling tale coerces players through each challenge with great finesse.
Tiger Woods 11 Wii adds depth and fidelity to their MotionPlus enhanced real golf swing. This creates an experience that combines the best of previous versions, and offers something a little extra for golfing experts - video gaming and real world.
Rooms is a rearrange the pictgure, sliding puzzle game. Although common on the DS, on the Wii these sort of games are rarer and this offers an unusual challenge.
Rooms is a sliding puzzle game, that follows up the recent popularity of hidden object and brain training on the Nintendo DS.
Flipnote Studio is a free DSi-Ware app where you can create animations. A simple flip book interface and intuitive copy, paste and share tools enables players of any ages to animate.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii builds not only on Mario's years of platforming success but on the first games critical aclaim. It adds Yoshi, Mario's ridable dinosaur friend, and offers more options for a second player who can now help bring items to the first player as well as stun enemies and collect starbits.
Mario Galaxy 2 is the sequel to easily the best Wii platform game to date. Mario Galaxy took the basic platforming 3D premise from Mario 64 and created hundreds of spherical worlds to explore. The same premise returns in Mario Galaxy 2 but with the triumphal return of Yoshi - Mario's friend-steed. This looks to be a Nintendo Wii game for both the hardcore and casual players.
All Star Cheerleader 2 (All Star Cheer Squad in the US) is the first sequel to the batch of cheerleading games that arrived last year. Like We Cheer, Samba de Amigo and Boogie and High School Musical Dance! on the Nintendo Wii it uses gestures to get the player flinging their limbs around. But unlike these others All Star Cheerleader 2 focuses on precision rather than exuberance. Although it doiesn't support Motion Plus you can pull out Wii-Fit's balance board to add a balancing and foot placement angle to proceedings.
The direct correlation between the Wii's controller and a golf club made these games a no-brainer for the Wii. Because of this, a number of games have been developed each with their own approach. Super Swing Golf provides a realistic one-to-one swing mechanic and some special moves, all wrapped up in a light hearted fun-focused rendering of the sport.
Fable 3 promises to extend Fable 2's experience, injecting more action and strategy. Set years later, continuity is offered by importing Fable 2 saved games to play as the hero offspring of your original hero. This time round though, the challenge is focused on the juxtaposition of making and fulfilling promises.
Little Big Planet 2 is two things. Most obviously it's a platform game with endearing visuals and varied game play. Harder to grasp though, it's also a tool to create your own video games. The first game struggled to communicate all this, but still won through with an avid online community creating millions of their own levels. Little Big Planet 2 both builds on this success and makes it simple enough for the masses to enjoy.
Little Big Planet's central platform experience, is in fact a gate way into a world where you can create you own video games. Using the simply, playful Sackboy character - and given enough commitment and time - players can create, play and share their own creations with an online community.
Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom continues 2K's tradition of excellently balance platform games for kids. Like previous Dora and Diego games on the Nintendo Wii it delivers super easy controls, and plenty of excitement, all in a genuine platform game experience that's wrapped up with great child voice acting.
Dora Puppy DS is a break from twinning portable games with the Wii version. Instead, this is a completely original title - rather than the previous DS version of the Wii game. This enables it to walk its own path, offering a mix of minigames and pet care for younger players.
As the era of the Cowboy draws to a close, Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360 and PS3 promises to put you in the spurs of former outlaw John Marston. You'll traverse the American Frontier and experience intense shoot-outs, train robberies and bounty hunting exploits that bring the Old West to the modern consoles like never before. With a gorgeous open-world environment and stunning detail, this is one Western that's good, bad and ugly in all the right ways.
Splinter Cell Conviction brings your favourite stealthy killing machine back after four long years. And with it comes more than a few changes - Conviction blows the dust off the aged stealth-action genre and will change the way you'll view 3rd-person action games for good.
It's My Circus Wii brings varied Circus antics into the living room. 40 circus games and 12 multiplayer modes sometimes lack the fidelity and expertise of Wii Sports Resort, but Circus Games still has enough family-targeted material to keep the game fun and entertaining for many hours.
Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, on 360, PS3, Wii and DS, proves its kart racing worth alongside Mario Kart, Need for Speed and the upcoming Blur. This mirrors Sega's focus on action rather than exploration. But although it may lack the course detail of Mario Kart it manages to keep the focus more on the racing - ironically more like the N64 and SNES versions of Nintendo's game.
Just Cause 2 creates a beautiful world in which to play, not only fleshed out with day/night cycles, but also an impressive array of climates and terrain. Add to this the exquisite controls in the parachute and grapple mechanic and you have a 360 video game you simply must rent or buy. Although the mission driven levels don't do this justice, simply playing in the world more than makes up for this.
