Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge review It's still the amazing game it's always been, but the new graphics and speech make Monkey Island 2 appeal to a new generation of gamers.

Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage review The Dark Lineage proves its knowledge of the literature that inspired it, but fails to create a compelling story or gameplay experience of its own.

APB: All Points Bulletin review

Splinter Cell: Conviction review Solid stealth-based action, with innovative visual flourishes, and a plot lifted directly from TV's 24.

Red Dead Redemption review If feeling similar to Grand Theft Auto IV is a criticism, then it's one that most developers would kill to achieve. Red Dead Redemption is a slick and expansive wild west adventure.

Sam & Max Series 3: The Devil’s Playhouse – Episode 1: The Penal Zone review Surreal logic, strange wit and a healthy dose of supernatural powers makes the Freelance Police's latest outing a must-have for any adventure game fan.

Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising review Chaos Rising takes the excellent Dawn of War and corrupts it into something even more entertaining.

Ubisoft The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom review Slow gameplay and a steep difficulty curve make Settlers 7 one for existing fans rather than new converts.

EA Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight review Tiberian Twilight is fast-paced and combat-oriented but we missed the resource management of previous games and were frustrated by an arsenal that was limited by experience points.

Just Cause 2 review A fun-filled extravaganza of explosion-filled destruction, but Just Cause 2's huge sand-box lacks immersion or depth

Blitz 1Up Clover – A Curious Tale review Clover is a masterpiece of indie game design, avoiding the usual clichés to produce a warm and compelling gaming experience.

Star Trek Online review Fantastic space battles but tedious ground combat. It's a good game and one that will thrill any trekkie.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 review Massive maps and vehicles give this game a completely different slant to other first-person shooters and make it great fun.
