Okay, the new Tomb Raider adventure is not really innovative. But Lara has never looked so good before. The gameplay is smooth and the puzzles are great. But the stupid motorcycle trips, the camera and the senseless gadgets are fun-killers.

Overlord II is a good sequel. There are some nice locations and interesting missions. Overlord II is fun, because it´s good to be bad.

Sega delivers an entertaining Mario Kart clone with good controls. Nevertheless, All Star Racing isn’t challenging enough to live up to Nintendo’s genre highlight.

Motivating until the very end thanks to Alex' many skills. However there could be more detail in the graphics, the side missions are repetitive, and the AI could be much better. All in all a fun game, though.

A nice shooter with an entertaining coop mode, cool weapon combinations but annoying AI.

Entertaining mini-games with simple control. However, playing it alone is only half the fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

There's a lot to see in Disciples 3, but the gameplay cannot keep up.

Unspectacular graphics despite the 3D dragons, but an interesting plot till the end!

The game is good enough for some fighting action. For more, it lacks the diversity.

Sam is eager to bring ultimate mayhem over the legions of his enemies. If you do not own the old game and hate lifting your trigger finger take a shot.

Unfortunately, Beijing 2008 transmits hardly any atmosphere. Is a view of the stadium or sportsmen preparing for competition in the background too much to ask for? Nevertheless, due to the huge amount of disciplines, the game still is fun.

The Godfather II was meant to be big competitor to the dominating GTA series, but it feels like a lousy rip-off. You got to be doing more than that, EA!

The age of this game is way too obvious. After 15 years the dungeons seem too small and the story is not spectacular. But training monsters to fight alongside your party is still fun!

Strong survival horror game, but the controls could do better.

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.

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

The cool Hollywood touch is fun for some time, but the action quickly gets repetitive.
