Nintendo DS
Action
The name of the title comes from the creator of the GameBoy and Wonderswan Gunpei Yokoi, but there is little here to compare with the Wonderswan incarnation as Bandai gives the DS version a really vibrant, super fly-fresh overhaul and deeply dippy dub club soundtrack.. As with all good puzzlers the premise is simple: link up the lines. And the DS stylus fits the bill perfectly. Known in Japan as Oto o Tsunagou Gunpey Reverse.
PS3
Action
Western developed first person shooter set in an alternate universe in fifties Britain where WWII never took place. Instead the brainwashing Chimera have seen to the destruction of most the world and their powers over humanity can only be resisted by the few – thats the players cue. In setting the game as such Insomniac cleverly utilises the popular World War II theme but scripts for a few extras that wouldn’t look out of place in War of the Worlds. If War of the Worlds was remade once again utilising the astounding graphical prowess of the PS3. Also features multiplayer mode where you must breach your opponents reactor leading to a few sweaty palms as you leave your core reactor unguarded. But its the co-operative two player mode that really gets the gamers going.

Real test of stamina as getting the ball in the onion bag involves a fair amount of sweat and toil. Arcade style action comes into its own in two player mode.
PS3
Action
Hack and slash through hordes of mechas as the stirring Gundam soundtrack once again kicks in. Excellent use of lighting adding to the marvel of the meticulous special moves that are applied to the cannon fodder. Use of the head up display brings in plenty of conversations with the series protagonists adding infinitely to the atmosphere with there ‘Battle of the Planet’ retro-style avatars and reminiscent of the seminal Cybernator on the SFC. Of course its possible to transform into a ship to banish a batch of mecha foot soldiers to vehicle Valhalla.

PSP
Action
Not too sure how excessive amounts of TNT help ensure that colourful Bomberman Land is pieced back together again, but that is the challenge of the one player story mode. The excellent four player mode is possible with only one copy of the game though making for some devilishly delightful gameplay – one of the most engrossing multiplayer mash ups ever. Also included are the mini game attractions from the PS3 big brother making for a well-rounded package.
Wii
Action
Sonic back to his mach speed best in this Arabian themed expedition with tight, confined tunnels, glistening waterways and vast expanses of desert to explore.

The victorious diver is the one who pulls the rip cord last – thus the diver who has performed most stunts.

The game produces a good sense of velocity as players hurtle back towards earth.

Plays like an update of the Western themed Law of the West with multiple routes possible depending on the player’s attitude, bravery and amount of moral fibre. Its intriguing to see how players react. Gameplay can be ruthlessly realistic at times as some gamers will soon find out to there surprise there’s no getting up from a full body slash. But the mechanic soon becomes second nature as attacks are first countered before launching a blade back at the opponent. Its possible to collect the swords which samurai soon get attached to having survived a hairy confrontation thanks to its strength.

One on One Beat Em Up
Well worth the wait as Sega polishes its massive series to create a visual punch capable of knocking players out cold for the count. Pugilists flow like water with seamless animation making it at times difficult to concentrate on countering the attacks, such is the graphical splendour. And its not only the players full of fluidity Ethe waterfall level will take a few attempts to get used to before players can focus fully on the battle in-hand.

PS2
Action
A fine Gundam title but more importantly a fine game in its own right with ginormous mech going for it in the confines of the sphere or in the more tactical open spaced mode. A massive multitude of mecha to unlock too but playing through the mission mode is a pleasure in itself with the controls soon feeling right after only a short bit of practise. Zone of Enders fans will be right at home here. Subtitled ‘Encounters in Space’ in the English version.
PS2

Thankfully not a doorman simulator, but there are a few cauliflower ears dished out as you grapple various assailants all gorgeously rendered in a Square stylie. Also in another Square trait you can teach comrades various fighting moves in a trade off for hard earned experience points gained through giving out fat lips.
Playstation
Rhythm
Based on the boy band, bishonen anime with the real voice actors, plus an abundance of footage and an introduction from the series, Kaikan Phrase pits the player on stage needing to successfully hit the beats to progress. Initially only the anime’s intro song is available, but loads more are available to be unlocked. Each band member varies in difficulty regarding the speed and frequency of beats with the drummer being a particularly tough nut to crack. A Tour Mode keeps interest in a very stylish title.
Playstation
RPG
Advanced RPG engine in that every action in game has an effect on the overall quest, even seemingly insignificant events. Players have full control over their destiny as the game starts you off in a random section of the immense gaming world. This allows RPG-ers to express their own personality: be it peace loving or belligerent. Very impressive levels of freedom for a home console.

Enjoying success on the N64 Acclaim brought its happy hitting baseball game to the PS2 with an enormous polygon count bringing out impressive levels of realism. Yet the gameplay hedges more towards the big sluggers than other baseball titles with plenty of home run potential. Not every other hit though, but the balance is just right to keep that special big hit feel. Players faces have some great expressions helping get involved in the games up and down emotions.
PSP
Sports
A title synonymous with the Sony brand returns to true form with its nitrous fuelled gameplay, adrenalin rush visuals and stylish club scene inspired, icon based presentation complete with a sublime soundtrack. Most importantly the ship’s handling has been tightened up giving it a less floaty feel placing the blame for clipped wings firmly on the drivers shoulders. The energy charge lane (a la F-Zero) has now been replaced with the need to use weapon power ups for in race repairs adding a tactical element to events. Pure and simply cool- bravo Sony Liverpool for such a cultured title.
PSP
