Latest update from the Hellfire Games Library(tm)

MASS EFFECT - PC: **** me, it's been a long time since I was properly addicted to a game. Amazing. Pretty much summed up in one word. Graphics are brilliant, immersive storyline, plenty of side missions you can embark on at your leisure. Plus you are completely in control of your character's dialogue, there isn't a sentence he says in the whole game that isn't chosen by you. How you act can also affect the storyline too, so after finishing it as a goody-goody I'm now playing through it again as an arsehole. Squad control can take some getting used to, but it's only really necssary on higher difficulties.

DRAGONBALL Z BURST LIMIT - PS3: Good to have the odd bash on but not one you'll get a lot of play out of. Typical Dragonball affair really, if you've played one you've played them all.

CRISIS CORE - PSP: Great games are like buses, you wait ages for one and two come along at once. It probably helped that I'm a big Final Fantasy VII fan, but my god this game is good. Takes a big step away from the turn based combat of the original PS classic, but the real-time action orientated combat has its own appeal. There's also quite a few nod-backs to the original for fans to spot. There's an absolute plethora of missions that can be attempted, most of which are much more difficult than the main story, adding an extra element of challenge. And of course, the story is brilliant and links very well into both Dirge of Cerberus and Final Fantasy VII.

GUITAR HERO AEROSMITH - PS3: And to finish, a game I am very disappointed with. I do like Aerosmith, certainy not criticising their music, but I can't say it's translated very well to Guitar Hero. I found it a mix of boring and frustrating. Boring in that the style of music never seems to change, and frustrating in that the hammer-ons and pull-offs don't seem to work as well anymore. I can easily do a run of hammer-ons in Guitar Hero III, but a very similar run in this game doesn't want to know. I'm expecting better from Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Metallica.
