The gameplay doesn't really satisfy me, but what's worse are the technical issues. Still, the game has its moments and can be great fun because of the story and the force powers.

If you want to plough trough the oceans from time to time and don't want anything too sophisticated this is the right game for all the part time captains.

The most famous secret agent ever to walk the silver screen has simply deserved a better game. Quantum of Solace could’ve been so much more, but instead remains caught in a swamp of mediocrity. [Issue#17]

Why does Square Enix port a mediocre game like Last Remnant and not a hit like Final Fantasy?! Why do I need a Gamepad for perfect control?! We recommend Last Remnant only to those select few J-RPG-Fans, who don't own a console… which should probably be about 10 people worldwide.

Bloodstone does not do anything wrong, but isn't outstanding or great either, just mediocre.

Family Ski & Snowboard delivers uncomplicated fun for younger players. It is a fun game that features flawless gameplay, but nothing more.

In terms of presentation sweet, though story-wise seeming like a meek afterthought. If you’re a die-hard fan of vampires we’d understand if you’d give it a go, but otherwise you’d do well to keep your hands off it. [Issue#15]

Unfortunately the wasteland-look gets boring really fast and all the Units look pretty much the same. If you don't need something like a singleplayer but large multiplayer-sessions are your thing, APOX might be just right for you.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a good game for younger gamers, older and more experienced players however will get bored rather quickly.

Paradox Interactive remains true to its roots: Sengoku also provides sophisticated strategy for experts who do not shy away from tedious, lengthy training time.

Everyone who knows other games from developer AGEOD, have at least an idea what they can expect. Pride of Nations is an extremely complex and challenging strategy game with some very good ideas, but all overshadowed from some serious technical shortcomings.

The same procedure as every year – Pro Cycling Manager 2008 offers identical features to last year including only some small changes. Tough managing your own cycling team and win the Tour de France might be fun at first, this changes after having played through one season.

Ghost Warrior is a bit like a basically excellent rough diamond, that no one wanted to polish any further. It's got good ideas and stunning visuals, but nowadays, that alone just isn't enough to be able to keep up with the competition.

Monsters vs. Aliens is a good game for younger gamers, older and more experienced players however will get bored rather quickly.

Disney Universe is a typical Jump & Run Game for children. Sweet Characters fight against evil viruses. Parents can easily access.

Major League Baseball 2K9 is first and foremost a game for the "casual player". While it is able to show some improvements over its predecessor, it is still far from perfect.

There is no doubt that the concept of Line Rider is ingenious, but Freestyle doesn't offer much more fun than the charming original Flash-Game.

Sadly the Second Strike DLC will not be able to save Sniper: Ghost Warrior due to the bad reviews and the still underdeveloped multiplayer mode. Who already owns the game or is able to get ahold of it as a good deal should definitely give it a second look. Especially the added features in the multiplayer mode added a lot to the game.

Galactic Adventures definitely offers much more then previous addons. If only all of the provided adventures could provide an exciting experience.

Fans of Military - and Combat - Strategy will not find too much joy in this title, but anybody who feels like trying something new and does not demand perfection might want to give AGoT:G a try.

Compared to the PC-version, the PSP-version seemed to have been worked on a little longer and even though I really missed the be-a-pro mode the instead featured mini-games really made for a good compensation - at least considering it’s a mobile game. So if you really want to win the European Soccer Championship on your way to school or work you won’t make a mistake by getting Euro 2008!

Among the improvements you'll encounter better graphics, better effects, better sound and music. The rest is less then good as the game practically drowns in nasty bugs and together with the strict DRMS action enforced by Ubisoft threatens to sink the game.

Tales of Valor improves the popular CoH-Gameplay with minor changes, but the quantity of content leaves a lot to be desired.

If you know Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords you know how to play Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. If you are a fan of puzzle games you’ll most probably like it.

This add-on may not optimizes the gameplay or eliminates the weaknesses of Order of War, but it enhances the gaming experience with exciting new modes for action-packed multiplayer battles.

Jurassic Park would be a great movie, but the added gameplay ruins the experience.

Vicious Cycle had a great idea. Sadly it remained an attempt. Thanks to Dave Ellis the story is really funny but technique and game design truly come from retro time.

Munch's Odyssey is technically dated and the the port could have been better. The charme of the game saves it from being a disaster.

In his new adventure the blue hedgehog gain the usual speed very slowly, but when he gathered momentum Sonic and the Black Knight provides despite of all its faults a few hours of nice amusement.

A downright frightening army of bugs both scares away any potential fan of Gothic and eliminates any fun that could have been had with the game. [Issue#17]

On one side there are the beautiful graphics and enthralling music and on the other the unbridled hectic. No time to stop and smell the roses, due to economy, politics and family planning being very hard to cover all at once. As an add-on The Guild 2: Venice is somewhat lacking but for newcomers it’s still very recommendable. [Issue # 16]

Astroslugs unfolds quite not the addictive potential of a Tetris, but it packed a simple game idea into a challenging puzzle game with nice presentation and intuitive controls.

The well-known legend of Pandora’s Box demands much more than what Developer Spark created here. Also, it just doesn’t seem right that Deckard is capable of force pushing and draining life-energy, but utterly fails at simple jumping. [Issue#17]

Dark Void is a great example of wasted potential. The story, the "jetpack-flying-action", the 3D-Gameplay ... all that in combination could have made a great game, but thanks to a boring mission- and level-design, repetitive enemies and mediocre graphics it just isn't.

Nice idea poorly executed - and still it’s fun. Iron Grip is a nice timekiller that doesn't stand a chance against other games of the genre.

The 100 pre-built Levels that come with the title are rather quickly solved, but what must not be forgotten is that you can always create more levels on your own. It may not be a game for the entire family but it’s certainly good for small party competitions.

TRON Evolution has a good story but lacks some essential things. The grafic is quite ok but nothing more and the developers had really good ideas, but they remain ideas. The game is only worth buying if you want to know what happened before the new movie.

Dark Void is a great example of wasted potential. The story, the "jetpack-flying-action", the 3D-Gameplay ... all that in combination could have made a great game, but thanks to a boring mission- and level-design, repetitive enemies and mediocre graphics it just isn't.

For all you Lord of the Rings fans out there, this game is a major let down. But if you are in for some quick and simple fatasy action with no expectations what so ever you may be able to find some scrapes of enjoyment.

The Action may be fun for a short time, but in total The Force Unleashed 2 disappoints with short playtime and a slow paced story that only gets interesting when the game ends.

Action-packed gameplay, a linear plot, controls that need getting used to, an interesting human/machine-system and a single agonizing mistake: No Lootsystem as we know and love it and Item-Drops as well as Levels per se are non-existent. Space Siege isn’t bad, but compared to forthcoming Space-Games, it’s an appetizer at best. [Issue#15]

Solid Mech action combined with more technical blabbering than the average gamer is likely to appreciate. For all that, it's still a cool game. Certainly not made for the broad masses, but cool.

After a long frustrating learning curve patient players will enjoy the high strategic-depth and complexity.

As long as you enjoy Crackdown 2 in small amounts, you'll actually be having fun - if any more time than, say, 20 minutes is spent playing, the gamer will become all too aware of its shortcomings anyway and move on to a better, less repetitive game.

Heroes over Europe can't deny its roots as a console game - especially in terms of controls. The real downfall for this title though are the missions which seem endless - despite the fact, that the game is actually rather short.

Supreme Ruler 2020 is definitely one of the most complex games of its kind and due to that bound to repel most of the gaming community. Players who are able to master the complicated gameplay are, however, sure to be rewarded with an amazingly detailed and nerve wracking simulation like no other.

The bottom line is, Superstars V8 Racing is an acceptable arcade-racer, it is not a simulation, even though it has a tendency towards this direction. Casual-gamers should get Race Driver GRID and professionals should do more laps with GTR 2 or Forza, until something better is coming along the way.

If you liked the Rome version of the Total War series, you will definitely be disappointed here. My advice is to download and test the demo version and afterwards decide, if you want to hurry to the local store to get the full game or not.

Semper Fi brings HoI III on the right track, but due to lack of playful increments, it is more of a big patch than a true Add-On.

Considering a game featuring Clank as its main character I had my hopes high for lots of action with even more cool gadgets. We got the gadgets but the action kind of lacks: The sneaking may be fun at the beginning but with time you wished for more direct fights instead of avoiding enemies or killing them from behind (with the the same move) for the hundredth time.

Dark Horizon is one of those games that make you mutter, “been there, done that”. One gets reminded of old classic games like Wing Commander, but sadly without any novelty bonus. Be sure to check out the demo before picking up the title from the store.

Hired Guns: Jagged Edge is only a copy of Jagged Alliance 2. And not a very good copy. The balancing in the game is awful and the graphics are bad. Fans should play the original and not the poor copy.

Serious Sam HD is a nice multiplayer shooter for the meantime. However, not more.

This may be an ambitious project of an even more ambitious programmer couple, but the lack of budget that game suffered is unfortunately very easy to notice. What remains is an average game with awful graphics and buggy controls.

They could’ve made so much more of Turok. Some of the grave minus points were luckily eliminated during the porting from console to PC but the biggest demerits remain: Monotone graphics, linear level-layout, a loose story and an AI which I’d effortlessly be able to convince to jump into the gaping maw of a T-Rex. [Issue#14]

Gobliiins 4 is a nice puzzle adventure that can't catch up to its predecessors because of a weak story and lack of humor, but can entertain for a few hours.

Wanted:Weapons of Fate isn't necessarily a bad game - it's just mediocre and overly linear.

This game is nothing but a plain insult to all Fans of The Lord of the Rings as well as all other gamers.

You can't help but love the daytime levels, but as soon as night hits the game, you will be desperate to turn off your console.

A movie tie-in of absolutely subpar quality. The gameplay is more chore than fun. Also, there's no Christian Bale in it. Don't buy it: Rent it, if you really have to.

If you want gory action, then you have found the right game for your collection with Viking: Battle for Asgard. If you want a game with Nordic myth or good gameplay - then buying this game might be not as wise as you think. Personally I love this game and the brutality of it. In a certain morbid way I even had fun with Viking, but that might be because of my personal Hack'n'Slay-preferences. Jerking camera, stupid AI, repetitive gameplay - this game could have turned out really great. What a shame!

Damnation fails at pretty much everything it attempts to do. The story has never heard of coherence, climbing shouldn't be attempted if the gamer wishes to retain his sanity, bullets might as well be thrown with Rourke's bare hands and visually, Damnation could've been entirely in grey and nobody would notice the difference.

CSI: NY - The Game unfolds most fun while it`s still packed. Interaction with the gaming world does not exist apart from collecting various items, interviewing suspects and playing boring mini games, so that even fans of CSI: New York will probably not feel motivated to finish all the episodes.

Summer Athletics 2009 includes indeed a lot of different sport events, but the differences between them leave a lot to be desired. The new coop- and splitscreen multiplayer-modes are also fairly amusing, but overall there is too little innovation.

The bottom line is that Cursed Mountain seems to be one of those highly ambitious titles that didn't really spark all that much interest on the Wii and was thus somehow sloppily ported to another system in the hope of being able to make a decent cut there.

Pirates of Black Cove brazenly copied Sid Meier's Pirates! but can not put the individual gameplay-elements together into a successful whole. The game lacks depth and repetitive gameplay bored after a few hours. Rather play the great 1987 original, because it's much more fun than this uninspired infusion.

An unmotivated brawler at best. Consider to buy it only if Watchmen is your absolute all-time favorite and you can’t live without a game about it.

While it's certainly a pretty game, there's just nothing special to it. Throughout forty boring levels all you will get is wild button mashing which results not only in Ayumi’s death most of the time but probably that of some of your brain cells as well.

Anyone who has ever played a CSI-game knows what to expect, because the new game remains in line with its predecessors. Therefore only fans of the TV-Show should give CSI: Deadly Intents a chance.

Of course, we anticipated for this game to be bad – but honestly, even for a movie tie-in, this is just ridiculous. It deserves to go straight to the wastebasket.

Although some time has passed since the publication of the initial version of the game (German version of Making History II is version 1.18), the technical flaws are still numerous. Anyone who is interested in historical turn-based strategy should remain with Hearts of Iron. Making History II might be interesting in a year as a budget version.

Stay away from it.

Darkest of Days is a below average first person shooter that tries to capture the player with a "Timecop"-like story, but the monotonous game fails to capture the players interest.

I despair! I despair before the vast amount of things that are simply wrong with this game: Graphics which range from prehistoric to reasonably acceptable, a continuously horrible soundtrack and features that just won’t work properly. For my sanity’s sake, give me a proper movie game, just once!

Deca Sports is not even worth your money for a rental. You can play all the sports and grow bored with them within a half hour.

MLB Front Office Manager is a management simulation set in the tough world of professional Baseball. Although it might appear complicated and challenging at first, (which will undoubtedly frustrate "Baseball-Newbies") hardcore gamers might still be disappointed in the long run - especially by the awful graphics.

Magna Cum Laude promised young adolescent players at least some (cartoon) nudity, but Big Office Bust has nothing to offer. Larry, what have they done to you?
