Fall of X.A.N.A. falls a bit short of the first Code Lyoko on the DS, "Code Lyoko: Fall of X.A.N.A. plays as an interactive version of the show's fourth season, with the main challenges being to find William, who is being held captive somewhere within the digital world of Lyoko, and to defeat the evil virus X.A.N.A. once and for all.

Rating: M (Mature)

Bad games can sometimes be entertaining, "First person shooters tend to have the stereotype of big on action, low on plot/story. Obviously there are those that contradict the stereotype: Half Life 2, Halo, and most certainly Bioshock. And then there's Soldier of Fortune: Payback, the stereotype with a capital "S". "

Platform: PSP
Production: Taito / Square Enix
Rating: E (Everyone)

Thirty years later, Space Invaders is still as good, if not better, "You control the little cannon at the bottom of the screen, shooting and moving it left and right, dodging the enemy projecticles coming from above as the hordes of aliens slowly come down towards you. And that's about as close to the original you will get."

Jason is Bourne again, "Jason struggles to find out who he is and why people are after him in a series of missions introduced by flashbacks of his erased memories. Just like the movie, the action and espionage lead to gun fights, fist fights, evading ambushes and escaping certain death."
