    Coming with a slightly annoying 3D feature powered by nVidia 3d Vision, but beside this technical gimmick, there is not much difference from the Xbox 360 version – which is definitely not a bad thing!

    Although Supreme Commander 2 works with an obsolete graphics engine, the giant battles offer a lot of fun, especially because of the good controls. It might be a bit too easy for hardcore strategists, however.

    WWE All Stars is an arcade-y alternative to other wrestling games like Smackdown vs. RAW. The game is most fun when played together with other players.

    Super-realistic and complex simulation. A dream for every soccer fan.

    Catching the Eledees is motivating, despite the dated graphics and the uninspired music, but fails to reach the quality level of the Pokémon games.

    Even though it couldn't quite hold up to our expectations, Mafia 2 is a great game which is driven by the narrative. This is a big plus in a gaming world where deep, believable characters are the exception, not the rule. If you want a truly cinematic experience, go out and buy the game - you won't be disappointed.

    A little bit more polish could have made this game a blockbuster title.

    Because of the variety in the card decks, BattleForge is tactically demanding. But the paid content makes us worry about fairness.

    Kung Fu Panda is not really hard to play, but it is a perfect game for your leisure time. Especially younger gamers will be happy with it.

    The developers put a lot of effort in the classic fantasy world of Aventuria. It literally makes you wanna dive into it. Weak point: You have to play ten hours minimum to really understand what’s going on about your character and the story.

    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.

    Action fans with a desire for strategy and historical correctness should give Battlestations: Pacific a try. All others might find the game way too slow.

    Ambitions is good add-on that fortunately adds some new gameplay elements. It's actually fun to play the jobs, although the firefighter and the ghostbuster jobs consist basically of simple mouse-clicking. A bit more extent would have been good.

    A successful comeback of the Medal of Honor-series, which is far away from reaching the top-ranks of the shooter genre. The short amount of the single-player campaign is really annoying.

    The new role playing game provides a nice sci-fi setting, but still lacks certain issues.

    Super Size Me in the Middle Ages. A funny mixture of role-playing game, comic visuals and a humorous story. The fights are huge, but often end up in chaotic and confusing bashing.

    Fans will be drooling over the huge hero ensemble, but others may feel disappointed by the missing overview during the bigger fights.

    Flight Simulation? No. Action? Definitely!

    Fans are going to love it, but for everyone else this is just a good shooter with a different setting. But come on - who isn't a fan of the Ghostbusters?

    The newest version of the wrestling simulation is convincing due to its new story-features, good controls and the original licenses.

    Although the Wolfenstein series has an excellent reputation, we were a bit skeptical before the review. But Wolfenstein offers brilliant, intense action with B.J. Blazkowicz, the Nazi Terminator. So the skepticism quickly turned into a hell-ride of fun.

    2004, back when Gran Turismo PSP was announced, is a long time ago. Gran Turismo PSP delivers, but it doesn't fulfill our enormous expectations.

    The latest PoP reminds us of the old Sand of Time-gameplay when you fight with its mix of fighting, jumping and climbing. The first half of the The Forgotten Sand feels fresh and exciting, but then the fun runs through a rapid decline and ends much too early.

    The fall of the King! Although PES 2009 is better than its predecessor, it loses the duel against an extremely strong FIFA 09.

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

    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.

    Minor flaws prevent this game from reaching a higher score. Still, Saboteur is an atmospheric shooter with some innovative notions.
