After finishing it, however, I must return to a common wisdom: Looks can be deceiving. Simply put, Interpol is an adventure game stripped of everything that made an adventure game fun in 1992, while keeping the tedious pixel hunting that was the bane of those early CD-ROM titles and which is, in fact, the whole meat of Interpol."

- Nothing more than a pixel hunt
- Gets tedious quick

The PS3 releases this month have been as strong as ever, and fortunately the great games are still flooding in for Christmas time. This month's OPM reviews the greatly anticipated Italian stealth simulator, FIFA's ugly sister, the epitome of the PlayStation fighting genre, a game where you ferociously make flailing arm movements at your TV to cater for your "virtual pet" (yeah right, you crazy man) and many more. Hit the jump for the latest scores.
Assassins Creed 2 and A Crack in Time both got 9/10.
In my opinion OPMUK are always nearly spot on with their scores (excluding GTAIV).
Really looking forward to playing both these games (As well as MW2) on Christmas day.
Ratchet and Clank and GTA: Chinatown Wars will be the first games I get when I find some money.
It a real flood all right, I guess my PS3 won't get much use, because I could care less about any of those. I'm still waiting for a good RPG. That's the main reason I purchased a PS3 in the first place.

"The 'hidden object' class of interactive entertainment isn't exactly the kind of game that self-proclaimed 'hardcore' gamers would yet have encountered, or, if these stallions of the videogame world have spent more than a few cursory hours clicking away at such a game, they would never admit to such a thing.
No, the 'hidden object' class of game is traditionally the domain of the 'casual' gamer; those individuals who profess to only have a few moments to spare on Match-3 games and their ilk, but, similar to the 'hardcore' animal, are hopelessly swept up in the fervour of their game of choice, spending aimless hours clicking on coloured gems and concealed virtual objects in an attempt to while away their 'precious' spare time."
The score given to the game is obviously compared to other games of the same genre, and I think it falls short. Is it worth the $10? I would only recommend it for hardcore I-Spy fans, and I mean hardcore, because there are better games out there. If you enjoy these types of games give it a shot, but if you're not really a fan of the genre, purchase at your own risk.
Its a good family game. Played with the kids, they also enjoyed it.
