It improves a bit on last year's game, but that doesn't change the fact that this is an uninspired shooter that feels like the Harry Potter license has been forced upon it.

From Dust is a lovely acquaintance. It's elegant, relaxing and gets your gears grinding. It's a different but excellent twist on the puzzle and strategy genres, and one we'll happily recommend.

Whether you're playing alone or with others, Wii Play Motion is nowhere near as fun as Wii Sports Resort, as the mini-games are too simple, too few and over too quickly. If you're looking for multiplayer entertainment, there are better and cheaper games to spend your money on.

It's not at all necessary to play with others in order to have fun with Gatling Gears, but you should do everything you can to bring a friend in on the fun, because if there's anything better than one crazy warmachine, it's two crazy warmachines. If your life is missing some boom, Gatling Gears is just what the doctor ordered. It looks fantastic and will put a smile on your lips. Solid dual stick shooter with eyebleeding detailed graphics.

Everything in this game smells of calculated recycling and boring gameplay possibilities. Some people might find this attractive based on a few hours play, but you'll be sighing for more content only a short time later. The best thing about it is the included demo of the coming Resident Evil Revelations, and that says it all.

A nice little timewaster with solid mechanics and great pixel-art that you can drop in on from time to time. It won't get your heart rate up, but there's plenty of micro managment with excellent cross-device support. It isn´t a new Little Computer People, but it is sure to hit you with a feeling of nostalgia - until you realize how damn shallow the whole game is.

Puzzle Dimension is a fantastic summer game, one you can play for short bursts to kill a few minutes, or for long stretches if the Danish summer does its usual thing with more rain than sun. It has plenty of challenge without ever getting frustrating.

There's no doubt that F.E.A.R. 3 should have been a better game, as it fails to live up to both its predecessors and much of what else is on offer in the genre these days. The overall experience is still worthy of approval, and there are some fun co-op modes. Whether you're into horror, action or a combination of the two you might want to take a look at F.E.A.R. 3. Just don´t expect a scary wonder-ride like the first installment.

Even given the low price, this is a terrible game in every way, and you have to wonder what happened to the quality control. It's embarrasing, and we can only hope Warner delivers a better game for the full-blown consoles – if not, they deserve a beating with the green hammer.

This game is fantastic. It's also very divissive. Some people will love the dry humor and bizarre enviroments, while others will will feel it's a boring mess of boss fights and too much talking. Personally though, this is a gaming milestone. Go get it.

The sims' social life finally get the overhaul they've been longing for. There no new burrough or new main feature, but there's plenty of golden nuggets strewn about in every corner of the game, all of which are well worth looking for.

The many sidejobs and minigames lack both variety and challenges, but the excellent boss fights make up for the tedium. It's not perfect, but it does have a lot going on for it.

An opera soprano with rocket launchers. Dick jokes. A hulking demon item seller whose tentacles double as lamp lights. Gates with the face of babies, that need to be fed stuff before they open. And best of all: great gameplay, very funny (and immature) dialogue and a hell of a ride. Welcome to Shadows of the Damned.

Improvements are everywhere, and if you've already played this gem on the N64, there's enough goodies here to warrant a re-visit. If you're new to the game, there's a whole world of experiences waiting for you. This is the reason to get a 3DS – it doesn't get any better than this.

A lackluster side-scrolling action game with boring graphics, tedious combat and shoddy interface design. Boss fights are ocassionally interesting, but it's not enough to change the overall impression of a game not worth your time.

You can see everything Steel Diver has to offer within the first hour, and it never seems to find its footing in regards to either gameplay or design choices. If the horrible sound doesn't scare you off, the confusing controls probably will.

Overall, Alice: Madness Returns is a nice little action platformer. It's not without its problems, and the levels do tend to drag on for a while, but the core mechanics are strong enough than genre fans should give it a look.

It doesn't quite live up to the digital bliss of its spiritual predecessor Rez, but Child of Eden is still a marvelous experience and a nice addition to your Kinect-library.

Not the worst shooter around, but an enormous disappointment compared to its predecessors.

Infamous 2 is certainly a good game, but in its attempts to go bigger and better on all fronts, it misses out on some of the things that made the first one so special. It tries to do too many things, and ends up being a somewhat uneven albeit still very entertaining experience.

Despite solid handling, MX vs ATV Alive feels like an oddly incomplete game. There's little structure to the singleplayer mode, only a small handfull of maps available when you start, and it's a long repetitive grind to unlock the remaining small handfulls of maps. Quickly becomes tedious due to lack of content.

Feels as if the developers have tried to redefine just how bad movie tie-ins can be. The fighting system is boring, the overall structure is lazy, the graphics are ugly and the framerate is atrocious. But at least it's short.

Duke Nukem Forever is far from perfect and certainly has its flaws. But it also has its moments, quite a few of them actually, and reminds us of happier times where shooters weren't as pompous and self-important.

A better party game than we expected, but not quite as good as it could have been. The joy you get from the bubly music and colorful graphics fades away once you've reached the end of the minigames and see how much they recycle their ideas.

A good, concentrated experience with plenty of bonuses such as new guns and achievements. It doesn't exactly break the mold, and the story could have been told better, but it's an intriguing glimpse into a different part of the Fallout universe that is sure to please fans.

As a whole, there's very little news here, but the game still justifies its own existence through a good, polished racing experience at a very cheap price. Particularly if you head online to race against friends.

Codemasters remain the kings of the rally genre, as they are simply better at all the important aspects of the essential rally experience than any other developer. But whereas Dirt 2 was a huge leap forward from its predecessor, Dirt 3 feels like a much smaller step, and may leave long-time fans of the series wanting more. Still, it's the best rally game around.

A fun game than will quickly steal hours of your life, particularly if you bring along a friend for co-op. There's little news to report on the gameplay front, but LEGO Pirates certainly matches the quality of previous games in the series.
