    Red Faction: Armageddon is a nice successor to the mediocre Guerilla. The new gameplay elements are a plus, but in the end the hordes of alien enemies are just a tad too much.

    Brink needs some time to unfold, especially during the multiplayer matches. But if you get across some early frustrations, the game really rewards you for your patience.

    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!

    CD Projekt has delivered a truly epic RPG, that seems perfect with the exception of some very minor annoyances such as the AI.

    L.A. Noire is a fascinating interactive thriller that will suck you in with its story. With its fresh gameplay, L.A. Noire stands out from many other games that lack this kind of innovation.

    Portal 2 is a masterpiece and more than a worthy successor to one of the most innovative games in years.

    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.

    One of the most authentic racing games of all time – unfortunately, not the best of all time. One of the things that holds it back is the sometimes unfair enemy AI.

    The PC version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is definitely the best one. Combined with the best game in the series, this is a must-buy title.

    Crysis is a great shooter and brings the current generation to its limits. The visuals offered are some of the best you will ever see and the gameplay doesn't lack behind. You won't be disappointed.

    Shogun 2 is the best game in the award-winning series! It looks fantastic and the campaign is really good. The AI isn't the greatest though.

    Homefront is shocking, realistic and atmospheric. Unfortunately, your fight for freedom ends quickly. Good thing there is a sweet multiplayer mode.

    Though it offers more diversity than its predecessor, it can't reach top scores in our review due to the literally nonexistent story.

    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.
