Gameplanet Hustle Kings - PSN's definitive pool game? http://bit.ly/108uYi

Source: bit.ly
Hustle Kings is an easy to pick up pool title accessible to the masses on PSN. Despite a few shortcomings, it'll keep fans entertained for some time to come. It is an excellent virtual pool game, nothing more, nothing less.

Gameplanet Rockstar's Beaterator for PSP reviewed - it's a surprisingly powerful music creation tool http://bit.ly/4miINC

Source: bit.ly
Beaterator represents a challenging diversification for Rockstar, who perhaps know more about beating people up. Having said that, this pint-sized music creation title sure packs a punch.

Gameplanet Dead Space Extraction for the Wii - not your typical rail shooter http://bit.ly/1GU2MB

Source: bit.ly
Like Dead Space before it, this one’s a class act, through and through. Heed the censor's warning though... this is no kiddies' title.

Gameplanet Chinatown Wars on the PSP reviewed - we loved the DS version, have Rockstar managed the same level of quality? http://bit.ly/21Z1Vt

Source: bit.ly
Rockstar's epic franchise gets another round on the PSP, arguably the portable platform it was best suited for in the first place. There are a number of enhancements over the DS release, but it's not all good news as some of the minigames have been lost in translation. ...

Gameplanet Borderlands reviewed - is it the ultimate mix of an action shooter and an RPG? http://bit.ly/3ghYEI

Source: bit.ly
Borderlands represents an ambitious project for developers Gearbox. On the one hand, it's full of loot and traditional run & gun action, however on the other it has mild annoyances carried over from RPG titles. ...

Source: bit.ly
The playable demo of the much anticipated Left 4 Dead sequel has been released to Steam this afternoon. It's only available to those who have pre-ordered however, so what can the rest of us expect come launch day?

Gameplanet Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii - Nintendo's New Play Control seems to be paying off.. http://bit.ly/3oGeYP

Source: bit.ly
Overall this is a good compilation and that will have wide appeal for fans of the series. As far as adventure shooters on the console go, this has it all, but stack it up against similar games on other consoles and you cannot help feeling it's a runner-up rather than a leader. ...

Gameplanet Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising reviewed; can Codemasters live up to the legacy? http://bit.ly/4nOtSP

Source: bit.ly
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis was one of my all-time favourite games on PC, so I’d be lying if I said I wasn't pretty excited over the prospect of a sequel.

Gameplanet Gran Turismo PSP reviewed - Sony finally move this PSX game to their portable platform, and manage to do a pretty good job in the process http://bit.ly/43EOdz

Source: bit.ly
Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Portable is a faithful reproduction of the original PSX game that achieved so much success in the 90's. Although missing online functionality, it's still the best racer you'll find for the platform. A solid title you're likely to invest a lot of time with.

Gameplanet Forza Motorsport 3 reviewed - the best console racer this year? http://bit.ly/4yTd3F

Source: bit.ly
From the Monaco Gran Prix days on my Commodore 64, car games have always been a favourite of mine. Back then, racing was a top down, scrolling screen affair, with no actual corners, just an 8-bit background with different angles.

Gameplanet NBA 2K10 reviewed - 2K really pull out the stops for this 10th anniversary edition http://bit.ly/HfqM8

Source: bit.ly
An astoundingly realistic basketball game with some of the greatest environments and graphics seen to date. The tie-in with online and real events around the world makes the game even more compelling, which includes real commentary from NBA Today. ...

Gameplanet Hands-on with BioWare's epic Dragon Age: Origins! http://bit.ly/1JvRWC

Source: bit.ly
BioWare have made no effort to disguise the fact they consider Dragon Age: Origins to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. From what we've seen so far, fans and newcomers alike will find plenty to occupy themselves come November.

Gameplanet Blood Bowl for PC reviewed - this one is definitely for the Warhammer table-top crowd http://bit.ly/1L1CzI

Source: bit.ly
Blood Bowl seems to be the result of a fiendish coupling between extremely inflexible Warhammer lore and a studio hamstrung by licensing requirements. It's not exactly intuitive, and requires significant investment and patience to see rewards.
