Viruses really are the bain of a PC user's life. Get one and you're guarenteed to spend hours deleting files, losing documents and inevitably either losing all your valuable files, resinstalling the Operating System or spending inordinant amounts of time fixing the problems. If only you could climb into the computer and physically kill the virii one by one in open warfare, wouldn't that be good?

Invasion Defender by Michael Black | 18-02-10

If you like desktop tower defence games, you could do a lot worse than Invasion Defender. At this point, however, that’s a fairly big “If”. Especially if you have either an iPhone or PS3 as well as your 360.

Trials HD by Dave Cook | 18-08-09

Racing and puzzle games aren't the likeliest of bedfellows, but in Trials HD the two get up close and personal to deliver a unique experience that is well worth the asking price. On the surface, this is an extreme motorbike racing game set in an abandoned warehouse, full of twisted metal girders, explosives and 100-foot drops, all of which are just right for putting your rider through the grinder and seeing them smashed into a pulp. But look a little closer and you will start to see the underlying puzzle elements amid this orgy of destruction and pain.

Turtles in Time: Re-shelled XBLA by Dave Cook | 17-08-09

Time always makes the heart grow fonder, it's a tried and tested claim and one that certainly applies to the raft of old school titles receiving the modern treatment as of late. Ask any gamer who played the original 1992 home version of Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and it is likely they will reminisce about how much fun it was in four-player mode and get into a conversation about the cartoon and how cool it would be to buy the original series again on DVD. Speaking of which, someone make this happen please!

Gunstar Heroes XBLA by Dave Cook | 08-07-09

Ah good old Treasure. If there's one thing this developer knows, it's a solid shoot 'em up, having produced some of the most revered 2D shooters in recent generation. This remake of the 1993 Sega Mega Drive classic is a spot-on conversion of the original, with all the zany boss encounters and heavy-hitting firepower intact. For the low, low price of 400 Microsoft Points, you can own this little slice of genius, although we suspect its abstract nature will only garner a few sales from nostalgic gamers with fond memories of the game from first time around. Newcomers, read on and check out why this is a must-buy.
