While the addictive battle system makes up for some of the flaws, Star Ocean: The Last Hope still suffers from familiar issues and lack of innovation. Though there is a lot of room for exploration and content which makes the game feel rich, and will certainly keep fans of the genre right on spot for a period of time.

As long as you aren’t expecting anything groundbreaking Wolfenstein delivers a qualitative fps experience with an appealing setting.

It's without question the best superhero simulator so far out there, but it lacks some in presentation and probably won't attract mainstream gamers at all.

The first portable game in the Jak & Daxter-series is a well done game with a lot of different elements. For the younger player this could be a must-buy, but older gamers may find it a bit too easy.

The Lego-plus-movie franchise-series hasn't evolved much since start, but when the games are as solid as the second installment of Lego Indy you shouldn't complain. The newly added split screen-mode takes the cooperative multiplayer to new heights and this is where the game really shines. Adventuring through all four Indy movies with a friend is pure fun.

While Pain certainly is fun in small doses, the repetitiveness of the gameplay and lack of content from scratch makes it hard to recommend buying it. That is if you don't mind spending the extra cash for its expansions.

Even if Guitar Hero: Smash Hits only would have been a collection of songs lifted from the previous games, you'd still have to appreciate it. But with the added support for full band play, and it's certainly fun to drum to the old classics, Smash Hits evolves into must buy for any fan of the franchise.

A bold fusion of platforming and action that delivers a unique experience despite being marred by some poor design decisions and technical limitations.

As a game EyePet isn’t that great, but as a form of entertainment it’s a whole of a lot better. Especially for kids, or perhaps ”only for kids” is more accurate. Because EyePet is primarily a kids game and as such a very good one. For adults it’s more of a gimmick which doesn’t hold up for very long.

As an add-on Lips: Number One Hits is fantastic. It’s packed to the brim with some great karaoke songs and will definitely be something that Lips fans must buy. It does not, however, fix all the mistakes made by Lips. As a karaoke game it’s not that good.

Wet is, as a production, great but as a game it’s not that great. The main problem is the lack of soul and heart. Combining ”cool” features, mixing them up with a ”cool” lady killer just isn’t ”cool” if you don’t do it properly

Virtua Tennis 2009 is, like every other game in the Virtua Tennis-series, a great game. But there are not many news since the last version so if you already got a Virtua Tennis for your current-gen console you can stick with that. But if you haven´t, and love tennis, then this is a must buy.

A old school jrpg with some new features that makes it one of the best in the genre for the Xbox 360. For example, the fighting system is great and creates a flow in the game. With a better story and a main character that wasn’t a boy that looks like a girl and has amnesia, it would have been even better.

Battlefield Heroes does quite a good job when it comes to entertaining the players for a short while, but with only a few maps and not that many weapons this "Free 2 Play" game comes a bit short. The game offers not that much diversity and if you want to spend your money on microtransactions there is mostly just new outfits to choose from.

The final impression from 2K Sports latest creation is actually rather pale. The game struggles in it's role of being both an arcade type of a game, and a simulation of the sport. It's just not that fun to play, and when it comes down to it, EA Sports simply does a much greater job with their hockey-game this year.

It shows that this game is specifically made for the Wii and they try hard at making it look like a kid for the younger crowd. But basically it all just falls flat down on the ground with only a few things that make you want to play the game longer than 15 minutes.

The After Years is a surprisingly competent sequel to Final Fantasy IV that will appeal to those who yearn for simpler times, but doesn’t offer anything above and beyond its predecessor.

Cities XL isn’t SimCity, nor is it a revolution for the city building sub-genre, despite Monte Cristo's efforts with the online feature. But Cities XL is a good game for everyone who enjoy these kind of strategy games. Nothing more and nothing less.

The campaign is mediocre at best and the game is pretty ugly, but the online game modes are fun and bring plenty of entertainment. For what you get, even with the standard price of 800 MS points, it may hurt your wallet just a little too much though.

It's not perfect, but it sure is fun - even for a player who couldn't care less about the actual racing series. Sumo Digital puts an effort in bringing you a solid gameplay and despite of the sluggish presentation it's easy to recommend this game to pretty much everyone.

The Sims Racing passes the theory test, but fail the driving test instead. There's really no point in playing this when there are games like Mario Kart around.

While the game offers a great variety in the first half of the game, the later parts feel incomplete and uninspired. The characters feels like the typical video game cast, and with some decent voice acting, this could have been a pretty good game. For kids.

Cursed Mountain is awfully ugly, poorly designed and almost unable to create any fear at all, making it a frighteningly bad horror game.

Trivial Pursuit is fun as a board game but as a digital game it doesn’t sport the same intense feeling of victory. It’s you against the game, not you against your competition and with that comes an apparent lack of intensity and fun. TP should be enjoyed around a table with friends and family, not in front of the TV.

While the racing experience in Fuel is far from perfect, the sheer size and beauty of the game world still makes it an off road racing game worth checking out.

Motorstorm who has gone post-apocalyptic, thats the best way to describe Fuel. It´s not quite as good as the first Motorstorm and it has some really annoying flying arrows, but it´s still a good game. At least while we´re waiting for Motorstorm 3.

Despite the cosy graphics and fun problem solving towards the end of the game, A Journey into Lost Memories is a linear game experience with several flaws. Too many and slow dialouges, too easy and with horrible music that works better as a sleeping pill than anything else.

Old school Harvest Moon-style, with all the positive and negative things that follows with that.

Lego Battles does a good job as introduction to the real time strategy-genre, but lacks in tempo and control. Gamers who already are familiar to the genre may find it to simple and should go for another game. And seriously, do we really need more games in Lego?

Heroes Over Europe is a good “arcady” flight sim and what it lacks in realism it makes up for in sheer entertainment. It’s a bit too short though, but still a great buy for gamers who love dog fights and air to ground combat.

Based on a popular flash game this Wiiware product takes the concept a little further. The graphical style is bizarrely unique and the gameplay is repetitive but somehow enchanting. Best enjoyed with one of your friends.

This game has not only managed to embarrass the whole genre, it has also killed several hours of my life that I will never ever get back.

Warm, colorful and easy to get into, but still a bit of a parantesis. It's the lack of variation that makes this game stumble in the long run.

Alien abduction in a post-nuclear environment never was as fun as this. Wait, as a matter of fact it never happened before this little add-on. Anyway, not the strongest of Bethesda's DLC-packages for Fallout 3 but still well worth spending some of your precious time with.

A capable j-rpg with some interesting ideas that would've benefited from a more even overall quality.

There is really no argument in favor of Ghostbusters on the Playstation 2. The story follows that of it's more talented brothers (Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) and the content offers no major news.

Puzzle Chronicles is a mix of puzzle and role playing game where the puzzle-battles are way better and more interesting than the rather mediocre and slow RPG-style sections.

A Mario Kart clone that doesn’t impress, but neither disappoints. The multiplayer bit makes it worth the time.

It's hard to do justice to a game that doesn't even do justice to itself. Spore Hero is nothing but a good example on how to exploit a franchise in the cheapest way possible. Uneven gameplay, stupid camera controls and ridden with boring puzzles and even more boring duels does not make a good children's game. You need more than bright colors to fool us EA.

Well crafted, but quite mediocre and repetitive gameplay. Hopefully the movie is a lot better than this, otherwise Cameron's knee-deep in sh.t.

A game only for those who haven't tired of this kind of "collect 'em all"-games yet.

Turtles in Time Re-shelled is a shallow remake that doesn’t make the most out of the original Turtles in Time. Everything that makes the original game one of the best beat ‘em ups of all time is painfully absent here, but the co-op might make you come back for a second or third run.

At first Dark Void seems to be a less than great third person action shooter. Then it seems to be a third person action shooter with slight use of a jetpack. But then it blooms and a whole new experience emerges with rapid aerial combat mixed with intense ground combat with a twist. Unfortunately the game’s potential is never reached but the idea is excellent and good enough to make a great game.

The King of Fighters XII is a somewhat disappointing experience compared to the earlier installments. But even though SNK Playmore have toned down almost every aspect of the game, the game mechanics feels solid enough to attract those who enjoy some fighting and hand-drawn sprites.

While Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is somewhat lacking when it comes to interesting gameplay its wealth of content and fidelity to the manga nevertheless makes it an appealing prospect for fans of Dragon Ball.

The worst exploit of this franchise so far.

A somewhat entertaining sports experience without any sort of finesse at all.

Explorers of Sky is just another lousy spin-off barely worth playing at all. That is, unless you have a thing for dungeon crawlers and outdated gameplay mechanics.

It's a sad day when you're forced to play a game like this, at this time of year. It's actually pretty shocking that a studio would release a title this crappy during the high-point of any gamers year. There's very few things in this title that are anything near decent, and it all amounts to a really poor game. Stay away!

It is love and hate all mixed up when Little Red Riding Hood meets Dead Rising.

A hastily put together product that lacks the overall quality of other band-specific games like Guitar Hero: Metallica or The Beatles: Rock Band. Thank God for Ice Cream Man, Eruption and Panama.

A game based on a movie could go the safe way, like the recent release of Ravensoft's Wolverine. Or it could try to be something more than just being a license. Terminator: Salvation tries to be something more and has a great system for healing, but in the end games like Wolverine are a better catch. Especially considering this games short campaign.

Republic Heroes is bad on so many fundamental levels that I doubt even the series' fans will like it. Everything from controls to graphics are lacking everything that makes an attractive product.

Damnation mixes gameplay elements from great games like Gears of War and Tomb Raider, but manages to screw it up so badly that no one should even consider buying it.
