Dark Mist
Price: $12.95
With a series of dungeons and a heap of mystical enemies to hack, slash and shoot your way through with a variety of magical powers, Dark Mist feels a lot like a modernised version of the popular classic Smash TV. The game certainly looks pretty and is very 'pick-up-and-play' friendly with very basic yet addictive game mechanics. That being said, you'll know by now if this top-down style of gameplay progressing from level to level is your style, and while the game is initially fun, the core gameplay remains the same and can get monotonous over time. If you like the magical dungeon type of genre that it's firmly placed in though, you may find it worth the money.
Worth buying? Maybe
High Velocity Bowling
Price: $12.95
We were always of the opinion that bowling games probably shouldn't exist; after all, why not just go bowling in real life and have a much better time? Well, Wii Sports Bowling made us think twice, and High Velocity Bowling is making us rethink a little bit as well. Using the Sixaxis to replicate a bowling swing, there are a number of characters and different game modes including one reserved for trick shots. There is multiplayer, so if you have some friends that are into this sort of thing, there is some definite fun to be had; but it is still bowling, and not everyone likes bowling. If you didn't like it before, this probably won't change your mind.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Price: $15.95
Released onto the Xbox Live Arcade many months ago now, Super Puzzle Fighter II finally makes its presence felt on the PlayStation Network. Featuring an addictive block-stacking puzzle element combined with special attacks and characters plucked straight out of the Street Fighter series, this game is an absolute blast and will last you a very long time after purchasing. If playing offline against the computer wasn't enough, you'll also be able to go online and compete with friends and other players around the world, meaning that if you get as addicted to Puzzle Fighter as we are, you could essentially be playing it forever.
