Does Choplifter HD carry success away to safety, or crash and become a prisoner of horrible gaming?

Joe Danger: Special Edition Review
I think someone at Hello Games must have caught themselves looking out into the distance reliving their own childhood dreams of jumping the Grand Canyon in a Jet Powered Motorbike when they came across the idea for Joe Danger. Xbox 360 owners now have the chance to sample some flaming hoop action with the updated Joe Danger: Special Edition

War of the Worlds Review
War of the Worlds is one of the earliest and best-known science fiction novels to be written, having been published in 1898. With the original novel, an infamous 1938 radio adaptation, a concept album by Jeff Wayne and numerous film adaptations, War of the Worlds is a classic example of a timeless story. Other Ocean Interactive, developers of a new adaptation for Xbox Live, have decided to skip out on the well-known narrative, and have instead introduced a new story, new characters and new locations into their game, although the events do run parallel to what occurs in the book.

Sega Bass Fishing Review
Much like golf, darts, or ten-pin bowling, fishing is one of those activities which will always be at the centre of a debate of what is the difference between a sport and a pastime. However, in similar fashion to the Cabela hunting games, Sega Bass Fishing is classified by gaming standards as lying in the sports genre, so I guess that’s one strike for the fishing purists out there.

Grease Review
Grease needs no explanation, since it’s the forefather of the high school musicals that have been springing up as of late. With its lively cast of characters, catchy and iconic musical numbers, turning Grease into a dance game seemed like a good idea. But in a sea of widely popular dance games, can Grease make itself the highlight of the sock hop?

Forza Motorsport 4 Review
Forza Motorsport 4 is, as the name might suggest, the 4th title in Turn 10 Studios’ Xbox exclusive racing series that was established back in ye olde original Xbox days. The franchise is placed to be Microsoft’s direct competitor to Sony’s even older Gran Turismo franchise and over its iterations has surpassed them in quality, if not in quantity sold.

Dungeon Defenders Review
Trendy Entertainment is a name that only a few of you may be familiar with, as they are a relatively new addition to the development scene, but their first game, Dungeon Defenders, sits comfortably within a genre which I’m sure by now many of us are approaching over-familiarity with: Tower Defence. Dungeon Defenders attempts to break the mould a little, however, but placing the focus firmly on co-op, and creating an almost Tower Defence/Dungeon Crawler hybrid.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 Review
Space Channel 5 Part 2, originally released for the SEGA Dreamcast, was one of the first games focused solely on dancing and rhythm, although input was done directly through the controller, rather than an additional peripheral such as a dancer pad, guitar controller or Kinect. Channel 5 focuses on the adventures of Ulala, a reporter for the titular Space Channel 5’s news channel. Ulala has to fight the Rhythm Rogues, a group of interstellar terrorists led by Shadow and Purge, and must rescue their many hostages, through what else, the medium of dance!

Even the good ol’ boys at Twisted Pixel of Austin, Texas have caught the fever with The Gunstringer. And who better to create a western game that uses the Kinect than a couple of Texas hombres?

Burnout Crash! Review
Whilst the Burnout series is known for its car-crunching crashes and over the top demolition, these come as part of a well-established racing game. Burnout Crash!, on the other hand, strips away all the racing and instead has you attempting to cause as much carnage and chaos as possible by smashing your way through intersection after intersection over and over again. Does Crash! have what it takes to strike out on its own? Or will it make you want to drive into oncoming traffic?
