    Bodycount may not be a bad game, but it suffers from uninspired gameplay and a weak back story.

    Sub-Par shooter that has its rare moments when playing the co-op campaign. Otherwise, a bottle of Tequila is more fun.

    Not many riddles are logical, which is a big letdown for a puzzle game.

    Poképark Wii is an entertaining game for every fan of the pokemon series, but too unambitious for other players that aren't related to Pokémon.

    Tries to be a simulation and an arcade-game at the same time, but founds on the details.

    Puritas Cordis is fun and offers many puzzles to master. The controls are very good, adventure fans are going to like it.

    Venetica has a fascinating story, however, the game is not innovative enough to beat rival games of the same genre.

    After 2 hours the game becomes extremely boring. There's no variety and the graphics look like they are from the previous console generation.

    Darkstar One was good four years ago, today the space-action is fair average at best. The graphics are dated and the mission design is too repetitive.

    While being an okay game, All Points Bulletin doesn't deliver what it was supposed to: A GTA-like experience.

    The naughty bear entertains – but only for a short while. There isn't much in this game besides comic violence.

    No serious competition for FIFA Street. The gameplay is not dynamic and badly coordinated. Only the campaign mode is somewhat fun.

    The missing NFL license is a big let-down. Combined with the rather clunky gameplay, you should better switch to the big competitor.

    While being an okay game, the DS version doesn't quite live up to his bigger next-gen brother.
    • 61 Metascore

    The clunky controls make this game pretty hard to play. Most of the time, all you need is Button Mashing.

    The game is boring, ugly and annoying. Tony Stark would not be pleased about this piece of software.

    Even Iron Man fans should keep their hands off of Iron Man 2. The game-mechanics are dated and the presentation is just boring.

    Dungeon brawling in a new way: A nice PSP game with deep humour and a sick difficulty setting.

    The Dead to Rights sequel starts with entertaining ideas and mission variety , but really loses its drive during the second half. Retribution is an average shooter/fighting mix with a cool dog as your partner.

    Square Enix' attempt to create a great action-roleplaying experience is a little disappointing. The game's world is big and the characters interesting, despite the lengthy story and lame graphics. Nier wants to be a great game, but it doesn't even get Nier to that.

    Poor Michael Scofield – The Prison Break TV series is much better than the game, although you get to hear at least the original voices. The repetition of gameplay elements is annoying and the dull story really breaks the game's neck.

    Better than the usual movie-to-game ports. Instead of re-enacting the story of the film we can train our dragon and send him into nice-looking, but far too easy fights.

    The new Moto GP update still lacks exciting graphics and and a well-balanced difficulty level. The career mode nonetheless is a good and challenging expansion to last years’ Moto GP .

    Dumb riddles, pixel-graphics and a much better PC version: Don't buy this if you're not a puzzle freak.

    In this submarine simulation which takes place in WWII your biggest enemy is the game itself. Tons of bugs like disappearing foes and the annoying copy protection kill every ounce of fun. Nice graphics, though. Maestro!

    Instead of creating another awful 3D resurrection of Sonic, Sega gives you a chance to relive the classic titles. Unfortunately, the port isn't perfect, the graphics aren't smooth and there's no additional content.

    Bermuda Traingle lets you throw nutrients into the sea to save the animals living there. But in the end, it's just another puzzle game with little content. You'd better save the corals in real life.

    Wet
    Some parts of Wet are pretty decent, but the game clearly lacks highlights. There are way too many quick time events, especially during the final bossfight. To be accurate, the whole bossfight is a quick time event. However, everyone who enjoyed Stranglehold will have fun with Rubi too.

    Killing Floor is a zombie game that lacks brain and own ideas. In the main part it's simply a Left 4 Dead clone with boring maps and graphics. But Killing Floor's emphasis on tactical gameplay, the solid coop mode and the cheap prize make the game worth a look.
