iPhone Games Round-up: Part 2
As relative late adopters to the iPhone, we're still working our way through the insane backlog of games that have built up on the app store. Finding the diamonds in the rough is a difficult thing with the amount of content released every week, but we're doing our best. So, for the second outing of our games round-up, we delve into the genre of tower defence for the first time, as well as tackle the use of tilt controls (with varying success) and enjoy one of the biggest technical achievements on the iPhone.

Review: Rock Band Unplugged (PSP)
With Activision extending the Guitar Hero franchise to handheld platforms (to mixed success), it was only natural that EA / MTV Games would follow suit. But they haven't gone for the obvious peripheral add-on route, nor even the most popular handheld; they've taken things back to Harmonix's roots and released something a little more abstract.

The twist comes via the online functionality.
Undoubtedly a good game, Infamous can be a very frustrating experience at times.
The Conduit has the potential to exceed expectations.
As it stands, however, the World Tour becomes a bit of a chore.
Still, it's one of the better licensed games we've played this year.
So why was Sonic 3 always the ugly duckling of the earlier games?

Review: inFamous (PS3)
Taking a break from the highly acclaimed Sly Cooper series, developers Sucker Punch have decided to have a go at creating their own unique take of a sandbox superhero game. Playing the role of bike messenger Cole McGrath, you wake up at ground zero of a massive explosion that rocks Empire City, causing society to quickly fall apart and violent gangs to take over. The explosion has blessed Cole with the power to absorb and use a variety of electricity-based attacks and abilities which leads to him being blamed as the cause for the disaster. Throughout the course of the game he must discover the truth of what really happened.

FMH 2009 is a faithful recreation of Football Manager.
Can we have Pilotwings and F-Zero next, please?
To Red Faction: Guerrilla's credit it is much more than just GTA set on Mars.
Demon's Souls
It's a safe bet that any game title featuring the word 'demon' will have the involvement of Atlus in some capacity. Demon's Souls is no different, although the Persona creator only takes the role of publisher for this RPG.

Preview: The Conduit (Wii)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has shown us that the Wii and First Person Shooters is a winning combination. The console's remote and nunchuk controls offer a level of precision that was previously only available on the PC. Gamestyle cannot understand why more developers haven't done more to utilise one of the Wii’s obvious strengths. Instead, the console has quickly become a haven for disappointing party games, and lazy ports. Up step High Voltage Software, however, with a game that they claim will "provide gamers with the kind of title they imagined back when the platform was first announced". A First Person Shooter, built from the ground up with the Wii in mind? Gamestyle is hoping that The Conduit can fulfil its potential.

You play as Lex, an outcast bounty hunter.
Visually its hard not to reminisce about Theme Hospital.
Visually its hard not to be impressed by what weve seen on the game so far.
This time around the competition comes from no other but Magnus Voller.
The combat looks far deeper than we expected.
Its easily one of the best looking games weve seen.

Gamestyle remembers: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
How do you follow up what is widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time? That is the burden Nintendo tasked themselves with in creating the next entry in the Legend of Zelda series after the influential Ocarina of Time. Unsurprisingly they succeeded in created a game that equals, and possibly surpasses it.

Its so good even Phillip Schofield loves it.
The psychological horror comes in the form of a highly-praised novelty known as 'sanity effects'.
This is not just recommended for fans of the game, but also those that love their anime.
Like Final Fantasy: Advent Children, Degeneration is nothing more than style over substance.
The most unique game in our list may not even be called a game.
The only good thing to really say about Max Payne is that it's shot quite beautifully.
