Kung Fu Panda (PS3)

Advantages: graphics, sound, video and storyline
Disadvantages: longetivity and lack of combos

...Whether or not you have seen the movie or not viewing the boxart of this game will prepare you for a new action adventure based on the movie of the same name. Furthermore, like other movie based games such as Fantastic Four and Spiderwick Chronicles I was expecting a highly poor affair but this game I admit has swayed me. The looks with its 3d graphics and a mixture of stylus along with button cotnrols are good but I felt at the same time that when battling more combos could have been made along with more precise controls. Another major yes was the brilliant inclusion of voice acting and cinematics during the story mode which are flood in motion with no frame issues present. However overall give this game agame if you're into action and excitement as the speed and moves that are present in this may surpise you for around just £25.... Read review

Advantages: PS3 HD, Amazing Graphics, Offensive Moves & 2 New Fighters
Disadvantages: No Online Play

...Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 is the latest in the Virtua Fighter series. I've always been a fan of the Virtua fighter games.

The game offers cool customisation of the characters which enable you to select from various costumes designs and also items... Read review

Advantages: one heck of a bloody good game!!
Disadvantages: quite expensive but worth it

...Virtua fighter has never been your average beat em up game series - far from it. Its not about just randomly hitting the face buttons as fast as you can, praying you'll unleash something devastating. No - its about learning different combos, having precision and knowing when best to counter, block or attack you foe with accuracy. It's about choosing specific characters that best appeal to your tastes and subsequently learning their style ans moves as though you were learning monkey kung fu, ninjitsu, jeet kune do or any other style in real life. The game isn't too hard you just need to practice with the characters you like. You can also assign written comments to your character that will appear during the loading screen before each match. Nothing more than an opportunity for you to gloat or taunt your opponent. Beyond the quest... Read review
