Here is hoping that Paradox will fix the bugs, iron out the glitchy AI, and add more multiplayer modes. And if not… well, Defenders of Ardania will not be the first game with a great concept to get crushed under an avalanche of flaws.

Dark Meadow is the least milk-and-water clone of Infinity Blade that popped up in 2011.

This game is not just boring – it's disgusting to play.

I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was playing a game made by a bunch of school students.

An enjoyable and, dare I say, cozy game, even though it has neither flashy graphics, nor innovative gameplay ideas, nor much variety.

Dead Block's dullness and monotony devour the brain faster than any zombie.

Trine 2 is amazing from the opening sequence to the melody that plays over the closing credits.

Serious Sam 3 is riddled with flaws, but there is so much flying bacon that you can fill an entire meat plant. It's a decent game that could have been better.

I wish EPOCH were as bright and exciting as its explosion effects and backgrounds!

Three of four new maps offer full-scale urban combat that was sorely missing in Battlefield 3. But why this expansion is so sparse on content?

Both the gameplay and attempts at satire are equally pathetic.

Limbo is a beautiful, intense experience.

2K's NBA is still the best sports simulator out there.

Afterfall began its life as an ambitious CRPG, but turned into a mediocre shooter somewhere along the way.

On paper, Lockdown was full of promise: excellent source material, a couple of original gameplay ideas, creators of the recent hit Mortal Kombat as developers. In other words, a ready-made kit for an "iOS killer app". But what did we get in the end? A weak quasi-prequel with two lines of a story that tries to rip off Infinity Blade left and right. And it fails even at that.

Rugby Challenge is probably the best game about rugby on the market right now, and it's accessible to everyone, even complete beginners.

Sword of the Stars 2 is what happens when a space opera becomes a hostage of amateurish idealists.

Infinity Blade 2 is akin to a game of chess where the player is taking down enemy pieces one by one. This time, we can move around the board both vertically and diagonally, and getting to the end-play will take you more than 90 minutes. Alas, the formula is still too simple, and Chair will have to do something about that in the inevitable Infinity Blade 3.

Real Warfare 2 relies heavily on gameplay gimmicks, eschewing some crucial features that should have been a no-brainer to implement.

Unity of Command is a looker. Its minimalistic, but stylish visual design is sure to please the fanciful "iPhone generation" of gamers. The map is clean and accurate, and the interface is a picture of user-friendliness. Beyond this delightful façade, there is a wargame that's deep enough for experienced armchair generals and welcoming for newcomers.

Volition wrote a more or less coherent story, squeezed 101% out of the "sandbox minigame compilation" concept, improved the physics engine, and finally made a decent PC version, but the end result feels too derivative and forced. The surprisingly short single-player campaign (15 hours if you're not trying to comb an entire map) doesn't help.

This game is not unlike Arkham City – easy to get in, almost impossible to get out.

So EA, what's next on your mind? Need for Speed Drag Racing with only one button – "Continue"?

KTX Software has to draw people's attention to Haunted's original multiplayer modes, otherwise the game's already humble potential will be lost in brainless monster-bashing matches.

FIFA Manager finally made an effort to combat stagnation. Now Bright Future needs to rewrite the game's flawed 3D engine to give Sports Interactive a run for their money.

A rare tower defense game is addictive enough to suck you into playing it for days on end. Orcs Must Die is one of them.

Despite a few questionable ideas, Dungeon Defenders is an entertaining, fresh, vivid (and I mean literally vivid) game. It lacks the ingenious simplicity of Orcs Must Die, but if you prefer to play with friends, then this is what you want.

Multiplayer is the only thing that makes Revelations worth its price (and if you're still interested in the story, just go watch the ending on YouTube).
