15. LEGO INDIANA JONES
Of course a plastic whip doesn’t bend, but it still looks cool. Watch out for boulders, rabid monkeys and other nasties in Traveller’s Tales’ latest LEGO opus.
16. KANE & LYNCH
Okay, so we have never actually played this game, but it’s so awesome, man!
17.APOLLO JUSTICE
The eponymous Mr. Justice steps up to the bench. Read our review to see if this series still has the magic to make you scream OBJECTION!!
18. NINJA GAIDEN II
A sequel to one of the hardest games ever made. Come shuriken with us…
19. SMASH BROS BRAWL
See that fence with all those stakes sticking out of it? It’s to protect us from the fanboys (sorry, fanpeople) who will not like our take on this one.

OUR REVIEW SYSTEM EXPLAINED
We’re not big fans of the numerical score. All too often it detracts from the quality of the review, which should explain to you the pros and cons of a game – allowing you to make an informed decision on an intended purchase (or rest easy that you bought the right game). With this approach in mind, we’ve developed a ‘worded’ scoring system – a set of seven words that each represent the type of game we’ve just played. That way, you can decide if the the game is the right one for you without worrying about numbers.
MASTERPIECE – This game is incredible. It pushes boundaries and blows the player away. We will only award a masterpiece to the best of the best.
BRILLIANT – These games are simply top notch. They deliver the experience via superb design and high production values.
IMPRESSIVE – Although this game didn’t quite reach the upper stratosphere, it was nevertheless impressive, and can stand tall with others of its ilk. Our review will reveal what element(s) of this title impressed us the most.
BORDERLINE – This game just didn’t quite get there. Perhaps it’s a victim of its own hype, or the budget went bust. Whatever the case, something went wrong along the way. It will, however, appeal to a particular audience.
TRY-HARD – Games that are try-hard are not fully realised. The cracks between the seams are all too apparent in these titles. Buggy, unfunny, derivative… (insert problems here).
STINKER – We all know these games. The kind your nana thinks you want to play even though you’re a grown man and not into that kiddy crap. This game might be worth recommending for a hire... if it’s free. Think: mo
vie game rush jobs.
AVOID – This appellation is reserved for the bottom-feeders, the truly vile and awful games that should never have seen the light of release day. Quick, get them to a land fill site as soon as possible!
