A successor to the legendary combat flight simulator video game insults its name and its fans by its state of the released version. The game can be partly forgiven for the upcoming revisions that are to improve its gaming experience. I dare say this game is going to be truly great in the following year. Unfortunately, now it's suitable only for those lovers that are patient and loyal to the combat flight simulator games.

This game hit the time and the spot with its conception unlike the others from the past – making a virtue out of its mediocre and plain form is something we don't see very often these days.

Funny, stylish and very entertaining game that built its gameplay on simple combination of two well-known gaming concepts and it's done in a truly remarkable way.

New FIFA made a huge jump in making progress in its own gameplay – we aren't talking about petty changes and gaming-modes propaganda of the previous titles of the series any more. After years of solid gameplay that has been under a deep lethargy nonetheless, here comes a season of dynamic fights for every bit of a football pitch that's going to entertain you, make you excited or nervous – just like your everyday football.

A fine line of a multiplayer shooter appears under a cloud of faults. This game is not afraid of getting out of an arcade stream, and it tortures a player with its realism and team-based gaming approach; it also brings several approaches of online warfare. Yet, the starts are painful, but Stalingrad's atmosphere won't let you leave.

Maybe a bit rushed but an extremely important score for this newcomer. If we have a look at licensed motorsports we see that Codemasters are really ahead of its competitors, without a doubt; the only thing remaining is to obtain WRC licence for DiRT series and then move on some trucks, maybe? With Codemasters' sturdy engine and team of people, which are not afraid to get dirty from underneath of the engine hood, it would be a loss to not expand. So do it – we want more.

An open-based action RPG where cyberpunk, Dune, Equilibrium and online grindcore meet each other, and they miss almost everything you would call 'user friendly' – to get the local rules and learn them properly often takes hours of frustrating gameplay. However, if you put your time in it and embrace yourselves with patience, you'll get rewarded with unmatched experience of the old school gaming.

One hell of a bloody nostalgia path, that surprisingly greatly seals this whole series. At the same time it seals one crucial brand of the modern video game generation, and from a perspective of those previous parts it is a really cocksure sealing, without a doubt. The game's got a great tempo with great ideas and a great vibe. GoW 3 will reward all of you living in the series for a couple of years, knowing almost everything from Sera's history, as well as it will reward those of you knowing practically nothing about the previous games. Delta, it was a great honour.

The Baconing is yet another strange tale of anti-hero DeathSpank you know so well from first two games. He hasn't changed a bit which means, that you can once again set out for short adventure full of sarcasm, anti-cliché jokes and slightly better than average gameplay. The Baconing will entertain you quite well for short period of time, but soon enough, jokes stops to be funny and gameplay turns in to an ordinary grind.

Any potential for an entertaining and brutal third-person action game set in a popular world of Warhammer was killed right at the start with primitive level design and boring fighting. On a paper, this game had a lot of potential which sadly remained unfulfilled except one thing: very solid multiplayer. Right now, multiplayer is the only reason to play this game or at least think about it.

An action RPG from the zombie-filled island that pleases by its great gameplay and surprises in many ways – like in a fine cooperation mode. The game suffers with some faults, but you can find those faults in de facto every sandbox game out there knowing that those faults have almost none eventual impact for your experience.

There is no succeed in a return of scripted scenarios of Men of War game. Not even a new attractive background is helping it. The game is dumped by a small number of scenarios and their unbalanced difficulty. You may still enjoy a few of its hot moments, but it's not enough to draw your attention from the essentially better game – Men of War: Assault Squad.

Pessimists constantly gripe about the lack of changes in NHL 12, but they are all wrong. There are some good changes here, and these changes altogether have a great impact on its gameplay; that is to say, bigger changes wouldn't bring up the desired effect of its kind of game-continuity. We may say we are once again closer to the actual hockey experience without losing its first-rate gameplay.

Fast-paced gaming popcorn that will find its place in this chuck-full autumn season. Combinations of the better parts from both previous games of this series may resonate like a motto: "Don't fix it unless it's broken". For those fans of "not so complicated shooters" with high production values, this one is superb. For long-run fans of the series, this one is like an assurance that Insomniac holds the series firmly in their hands.

You can find a flaw or two in here, but that is just a smirch on the game's face that is suprisingly addicting, and whose free-to-play model is effectively helping to get to more audience – from hardcore maniacs up to their mummies.

If you forgot everything about the big comeback of the first game, you'll get one neat, suprisingly coherent "supercop behind the wheel" piece with plenty of Burnoutish (almost) fun to it. Not taking itself so seriously would do San Francisco good. However, when you are seated behind the wheel, you can't deny the great qualities of the game.

In many ways, this is one fast, entertaining action game. And yet it doesn't take too much time from you to properly entertain you. But it won't take too much time to bore or annoy you either. There are not so many solid arcade action games out there, so the majority of the faults can be forgiven as far as this style of gameplay suits you.

Although it's a pirate-game with a glimpse of freedom, it's choking on its bad story. You will be entertained for couple of hours by upgrading of your own ship, sea battles or by island-raiding. However, after that the entertainment disappears under a surface like a holey sailboat. Pirates of Black Cove cast anchor more to younger players than to the old ones.

Just as the people in the colourful world of the Human Revolution want to be better people, the game itself was eager to propel high above the competition from all other games and succeeded quite masterfully. It's true that Human Revolution sticks too much to story templates of the original Deus Ex, but this minor objection becomes irrelevant when the third Deus Ex is in fact your first.

Proun is an attractive ride on an invisible glued tube. You feel shapes, you feel colours, you feel music and you combine all of this and let it roll in your own mind. This game is great. Unfortunately, there is very little of it. Hopefully, there will be more of it. Some day.

If Antonio Salieri was the boss of these developers, it would explain a lot of things. The First Templar is a prime example of a mediocre game that won't hurt nor warm your gamer's heart.

Popular and well known strategy series got a very nice facelift with this highly enhanced remake which makes a good game even better. It's a matter of honour for every virtual soldier to play this game because of its atmosphere, historical accuracy and surprising accessibility.

Bastion relies heavily on storytelling, which is not usual in the action RPG genre and it could be a little bit too distracting for hardcore warriors. However, if you are looking for very pleasant, enjoyable and relaxing gameplay with a fine story for a day or two, or if you want to introduce this genre to your girlfriend, there's no need to look further.

You stick your nose under your first sod and there you are – in another world. Terraria is not much of a Minecraft 2D rip-off, it's an addictive pursuit of perfection that entertains; even though it stinks of a sweat from the adits.

Because of its minimalistic design and unique feel, From Dust is one of the most intriguing experience of this year. However, its flaws in controlling and dependance upon coincidence in the game ruins the gameplay and make it somewhat frustrating to no avail.

An above-average game from a time period that's really hard to find in current games. It is defected by several unfortunate design decisions and by sticking too much to its literary original. However, Henryk Sienkiewicz's fans and those 17th century warfare lovers should not hesitate to try it.

An outdated game – mentally and physically – that tries to switch from the West nostalgia to a drug dealers filling concrete jungle. Not a good idea. "Among the blind the one-eyed man is king" was the saying. Now, we can call it "The Ugly Duckling". But unfortunately, this is where the story ends – no maturing into a beautiful swan. And now back to the machines, back to the West!

One of the worst movie add-ons of today. This linear, soulless, and ugly action shooter is wrong in almost every aspect. Because of the fact it does actually have some tolerable music and of the fact we will not see another Harry Potter in a very long long time, we give it at least the second worst rating from our scale.
