Mario is the star of this week's reviews, with New Super Mario Bros for the DS getting a warm welcome. "As addictive as it was in the 1980s," says reviewer Steve Boxer. And decades aside - I'd say 1991's Super Mario World was the pinnacle - who can argue? I reviewed the latest game of an entirely different gaming hero - Agent 47. The latest Hitman game, Blood Money, is more intuitive than previous outings but still has enough niggles to frustrate. Finally there is The Movies expansion pack - Stunts and Effects - which should appeal to the three of you that bought the original game.
Elsewhere, Aleks takes a look at the US Congressional Hearings into videogame violence. "Legislation in the US will be another excuse to moralise output," she says.
