Much like a rollercoaster, Black Flag has its fair share of highs and lows. The naval exploring is one of the high points in the series so far while sneaking about the bushes and trees tends to get frustrating fast. It lacks in polish, harming the immersion, but if you can overlook this, chances are high that you’ll like the pirate life.

A puzzle gem for the Nintendo DS. Great animations and characters and an interesting way of telling a (ghost) story.

The greatest shooter on Ios. Get this one.

The lack of real competition for EA starts to show in the football genre. Madden NFL 11 plays nice and has tons of content, but there really should be more real news to this, other than a new roster to convince people to buy it every year.

Good enough, but after six years in these trenches, Treyarch and Infinity Ward should be getting back to the drawing board.

Sine Mora feels like an old-school shoot 'em up with a twist and modern beautiful graphics. This is highly recommended for both n00bs and die hard fans of the genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

The Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 offers a lot more content and clever usage of the Wii U Gamepad. In the end, this is the best version of the game.

High production values and charming characters make Final Fantasy XIII a good game. But an all too linear structure and a boring story keep it from being brilliant.

A nice departure from the bird-slinging concept that delivers in almost every aspect.

To level, to learn and to master a character and reach the ultimate goal in Guardian Heroes is just as fun today as it was during the Saturn era. If not better. The graphics have been polished and this is a smooth retro trip down memory lane that no true gamer ever should miss.

A great little indie game with excellent online support.

The best from Final Fantasy in an open fantasy world? Sign me up (but please retire the dreadful fetch quests once and for all)!

Avalanche makes us proud to be swedes: an exhilirating sense of freedom coupled with that timeless satisfaction of just blowing stuff up makes Just Cause 2 a highly recommended action game.

Old World Blues is an expansion that delivers what you probably expect. New weapons, new items, new perks and more levels for your character. In total about 8 hours worth of play time and a recommendation for Fallout fans, even though a better story would have been appreciated.

This truly is the sports title of the year and there really isn't something else to ask for in this masterpiece.

Wasting aliens done right. In Resistance 3 you've got a great and varied arsenal at your disposal, and you get to play with it in Insomniac's great levels.

Dark, gritty, scary, exciting and beautiful.

A good collection of three great games. But some extra material and proper HD cutscenes would have been nice.

A delightful time-altering puzzler that smells of both Braid and freshly baked pie. Plus, the music is freakin' awesome.

Konami and Mercury Steam have finally found out the right formula for 3D Castlevania. This is a rock solid adventure with good puzzles, great action and fabulous music.

If you call your self a fan of strategy games, you owe yourself 10 hours with this game.

Despite the small budget, this is an interesting indie title with a few nice ideas.

Infamous 2 is our favourite kind of sequel – one that evolves the concept and polishes the experience to perfection. The new adventures of Cole are not perfection though, but not far from it.

Great fighting, as usual from Namco. But it feels like an expansion for Tekken 6.

Quotation forthcoming.

Level 5 once again excels in doing entertaining riddles to solve.

A feeling of deja vu is constant in Electronic Arts World Cup title, but that doesn't make it a bad game. If you liked FIFA 10 you are going to like this, but it's hard to shake the feeling that this is the same game in a new package. The graphics are nice though, and the game engine is not seldom total brilliance.
