UFC 2009 Undisputed by THQ Review
UFC 2009 Undisputed
This fighting game by THQ has action, intensity and attitude. It has an authentic UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) atmosphere and includes the best mixed martial arts fighters in the world. The controls are complicated and take time to master. The many different types of movements – punches, kicks, elbow and knee strikes and grappling techniques have a different combination of buttons for each move! Once you master the hard controls, this game can be very involving and exciting. You train in specific skills- spar, rest and plan fights. The aim is to gain popularity, build up your fighter and defend your title. This game can be very difficult to learn but it comes out as a good fighter game that looks great and is very competitive. Rating 8 out of 10

If you aren’t familiar with the Pokémon games then this game is the latest in a series of games which involve traveling around a fantasy region called Sinnoh and battling strange monsters called Pokémon. You can capture wild Pokémon and train them up, a big part of the game is seeing how may you can collect and serious gamers try to catch them all. Many of the Pokémon require very specific conditions to appear and capture, so it isn’t just a case of wandering round and hoping every type will fall into your lap. Newbies may find it all a bit daunting as the game is massive, but as you advance through and talk to the other characters – they explain things on a very simple level to point you in the right direction.

Spore Hero By EA: Review
Spore Hero
In Spore Hero, players focus on creativity and evolution using the unique controls for Wii. The game takes players on an exciting adventure through a beautiful, colorful world based in the Spore universe. There are different stages such as the cell stage, creature stage, tribal stage, space stage and Civilization stage. These stages keep the game going and make the game one of the best. There is a DRM issue but that’s it for the cons. Ok, this game is open ended. If you are creative you will like this game more than if you are not. If you want a game where you are told what to do, get a different game, as this game lets you make most of the decisions.
