    Lots of action and stunning visuals, but fans of the earlier RE episodes could be disappointed by the lack of goose-bump moments.

    Graphics-wise, Battlefield 3 rocks. But not only are the visuals stunning. With a nice campaign and one of the best multiplayer modes out there, Battlefield 3 makes Call of Duty look old.

    Monster Hunter Tri is the opposite of a casual game. Hunting monsters and upgrading your weapons is a challenge for endless hours and highly addictive. Free Online-mode included.

    If you don't care for even more licenses, than you can also choose the predecessor. But Football Manager 2012 is the better game.

    No more Heroes 2 proves that the Wii is not a kiddo console. Especially the visual style rocks.

    Once you start Civilization, you can’t stop playing. Fortunately the controls work wonderfully on the console versions. A great strategy game!

    Spore is more construction kit than game, but a very fascinating one. The missing depth and often too easy gameplay doesn’t make it the brilliant game everyone expected.

    Fighting with the iconic Marvel and Capcom characters is a fun experience for experts and players who are new to the genre. There could be more stages, though.

    Killzone 3 is the best entry in the series so far and one of the best shooters of all time. The game is the new genre king and sets the visual bar very, very high for future PS3 games.

    A decent remake of a great game, the only thing missing is more content.

    Just Cause 2 is a good, but not perfect mixture of GTA and Boiling Point. It offers a huge playground for every action gamer - supported by beautiful graphics.

    Mortal Kombat has finally made the jump to the current console generation. And the result is a true Mortal Kombat offering great fights and even greater finishing moves.

    Why do cars, pedestrians and the menu structure still have to be so annoying? Nevertheless it’s a great sequel and arguably the best skating game out there.

    As much fun as Guitar Hero - and perfect for any party. The music is great, but we miss some more game modes.

    The technology of the newest part of the fallout series is over aged and besides the hardcore mode and the reputation-system, the new features of New Vegas are manageable. But altogether, New Vegas is a successful new part and not just an add-on, with more than 100 hours of gaming, an interesting story and a new setting to explore.

    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!

    Go, NfS! I had serious doubts about this one, but it delivers like a Porsche.

    During my first trials, I was shocked: how could it be that GT 5 is suffering from tearing and lags, after five years of development? A few days ago, I was admiring Yamauchi, but now I just feel sorry for him. Over the full-hd-graphics and the photorealistic car models, he lost his sense of the other parts that matter. A good damage model belongs to a racing simulation, just as a cockpit-view for all (!) cars. What remains are the best controls and the most beautiful cars in the whole genre. Anyway, Gran Turismo 5 is the best racing simulation on PS3.

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

    Child of Eden is a stunning experience, but not only because of the great sound-visual mixture, but because it is fun. But there are some annoyances like the small number of levels.

    As soon as you get behind the tricky controls, the killing of the robot-armies is fun. Sadly, the campaign of the action-blockbuster is very short.

    Picross 3D lets you solve puzzles in the third dimension. This is not just a challenge for your spatial-logical thinking, it’s also highly addictive.

    Kickass jumps and stunts as well as fun optimized courses bring you pure racing action. Some more gameplay modes would have made it a real hit.

    Crazy and varied gameplay. Bangai-O Spirits is a must-have for shooter fans on the Nintendo DS.
