Civilisation Revolution (XBox 360)
This is one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. Not because the game is especially difficult to explain, or rubbish, but rather because dragging myself away from the 360 long enough to come to work and actually type something out has been very difficult indeed.
Space Invaders Extreme (PSP and DS)
The thing about growing up is lots of things that you thought were brilliant in your formative years never seem to be as good as you remember them.

School has broken up. But for mischievious Luso Clemens there's one last detention to sit through before he can escape. Alone in the library he finds an ancient book with magical powers which pulls him into the mystical land of Ivalice and the middle of a battlefield. And it might just be the key to a peaceful school holiday for gamers everywhere...
It's a sad fact of life that most computer games based on films are, well a bit rubbish really. They tend to be fast-coded tie-ins aimed at getting some extra cash out of the parents of youngsters who fall in love with a particular character - after all who needs decent gameplay when you've got such an undiscerning market? With this in mind, I opened Kung Fu Panda with some trepidation. And that was even before I realised it starred the vocal talents of Jack Black who, for my money, is one of the most irritating actors working today.

George Lucas needs to stop. After the horror of the Star Wars prequels, this summer sees Indiana Jones dusted off - with the almost-septugenarian Harrison Ford putting the iconic hat on one more time. The film is, well, disappointingly mediocre.

As Brad Pitt himself almost said, the first rule of Rock Band is don't talk about Rock Band. And the second rule of Rock Band is don't talk about Rock Band.
