    A neat mixture between sports, tactics and the famous Warhammer franchise, but overall too hard for beginners.

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

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

    A mediocre action game that should have had more time to get polished. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen feels unfinished, with the same repetitive missions and missing cutscenes.

    James Cameron's AVATAR is a surprisingly good video game for a game which derives from a film. Visit Pandora and be a part of the battle between Humans and the Na'vi.

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

    There might be five games with a lot of unlockable content in this compilation, but the long loading times and the dull multiplayer part ruin a lot of the fun.

    Unfortunately the huge potential that slumbers within a snowboard legend and a global publisher hasn’t been used. Shaun White is something for the hardcore boarder – only the multiplayer offers some unique features.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Targeting your enemies from high above sounds fun, but the mediocre AI and several glitches drag Dark Void to a decent level.

    This tears your skin off! Fast gameplay, customisable upgrades and lots of style – despite the repetitive action, Wolverine definitely is the best game incarnation of our favorite super-hero.

    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.

    Adventure or racing? Definitely racing! The cut scenes are not suspenseful enough for an adventure. But I like Tri-City with its varied missions and the intuitive controls. Unfortunately the game sometimes drops to a low frame rate.

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

    Though it’s fun at first due to the arcade steering, Wheelman quickly decelerates to a halt, because of the dull story and the imbalanced difficulty.

    Standing at the gates of Mordor, listening to epic music and feeling as a part of a huge battle – these are the great moments in Conquest. Unfortunately the unbalanced difficulty, repetitive missions and dated graphics kill these moments.

    Guitar Hero stays Guitar Hero stays Guitar Hero. Another update of the popular music game . No innovations, but a very challenging setlist featuring the songs of Metal legend Van Halen.

    Hulk’s orgy of destruction is entertaining at the beginning, but unfortunately it’s the only motivating thing in the game. Both the missions and the story are weak.

    A brilliant ego shooter should contain ingenious gameplay, bombastic graphics and a suspenseful story – Haze has none of that and is therefore just an average title for PS3.

    The cover-feature provides a tactical touch to the shoot-outs. Thanks to many different locations and surprises, the variety is sufficient. Considering the fact that there are a lot of good shooters on the market, we long for a little more Bond-feeling.

    If you’re a big a fan of blowing things up, then you’ll love this game. Literally everything can be turned into flames, but the longer you play the more you realize that Venezuela is not the real deal when it comes to “virtual paradise.”

    Calling is a good alternative to survival horror highlights like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories . The atmosphere reminds us of The Ring, but the fighting is a bit awkward and involuntarily funny sometimes.

    The nice cel-shading look cannot hide the game has almost nothing to offer. The mini games are bad, the levels all look the same and the size of the world is very limited. If you like the Jonas Brothers and are fond of wasting money, Disney Jonas is your game.

    This incredibly boring, unimaginative voyeurism safari for PSP is the low point of the DoA-Franchise. It seems that Tecmo simply wanted to design a look-at-boobies simulator – and even that doesn't work because the graphics are astonishingly bad. The only special thing about Paradise is that it makes you want to wash your eyes.
