Reader Reviews

Halo 2, F-Zero: GP Legend, Zelda: Minish Cap, Super Mario 64 DS and FIFA 2005 in the last instalment of the year. Give us more for 2005!

This is the end. Almost, anyway. Apart from a few bits and pieces tomorrow and a weeklong something-or-other next week, we're at the very end of the year - and I'm excited. Not because I won't have to work for a while, though obviously it's nice to have a break, but because I'll be able to do whatever I want to do and, more importantly, play whatever the hell I want to play. I've been grabbing games from the shelf all day - unplayed, incomplete, or just long-since left to fester - and piling them up. I'm looking forward to working my way through some of them just as soon as that final paragraph tag is in place and the content's beamed off to the land of Internet.

I'm sure you're all the same. Which is partly why we're running another load of Reader Reviews today. We want to clear them all out so that you can send us your thoughts on games you might have "finally got round to playing" over the Christmas break. Of course you can send reviews in about anything, but if you happen to stumble across something unloved on your shelves this Christmas, or someone gives you a copy of something you've never even heard of that came out 18 months ago, be sure to let us know what you think. And join us again in the new year when we'll have, amongst other things, Mark's long-awaited review of Christmas dinner.

Merry Etc!
