This is not the most creative title. However, the amount of gameplay is so insane you will enjoy this ride by Volition mad men for a god damn long time. And maybe, a few months later, you will still remember your walk in a city with a helmet of the Imperial Army.

There is an obvious difference between a children's game and a childish one. Game adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin belongs to the second category. Children's imagination and a longing for an adventure are being killed by a stereotype and boredom here. Nicely designed cooperative missions are the only positive of this game.

A very touching remaster of one classic title that is like a reward for all the fans. At the same time it is a perfect time for the new gamers that missed the start of the series. This title brings along a new graphics engine and more or less of big and small improvements and also several enjoyable bonuses. Yes – Halo is still a bit old, but not old enough to hold you from your enjoyment.

This game goes backward in every way. Who got the idea to make a scripted racing video game with a B storyline running on an engine of a shooter game that looks like it was made three years ago? Don't tell me that this game was not taken out of Black Box's video game depository.

In its worst moments Skyrim stumbles over its confused artificial intelligence, shutting itself down and its half-done inventory system. In its best ones Skyrim is the king of the new age of the genre.

Crysis has gotten a new facelift and on the console it suits it very much. It is a pity there is no multiplayer. But otherwise this game stays true to its great action, neat graphics and exotic surroundings.

A must-have for those fans of the series. For the others it is like getting to know the whole game concept that is additionally rewarding to those interested in history. Revelations does have a good story, several great ideas and a sufficient number of historical details letting you immerse yourself in the game database and other sources of information after finishing the main campaign.

Modern Warfare 3 does not crown one dramatic story with pride. A campaign is more or less a relict of an old engine and design flaws mainly that are successfully selling as a trademark. Its ranking is saved once again by its multiplayer that brings just a single style of gameplay. However, it does its job and entertains those gamers, who are fine with it.

There's always something about dance video games. However, newly Dance Central 2 is as close to your 'weekend party in a club' as close is your living room. It is true that for ordinary gamers this is an experience like from an another world – but that was your first vodka with Red Bull as well, am I right?

Jamestown is an old school hardcore arcade shooter. By its visual approach, its music and its gaming philosophy, it creates an imaginary comeback of the golden age of video arcade games. Its background set in the 17th steampunked century is only strengthening the overall enjoyment drawing young gamers on a peep show at those olden times of video gaming.

Dark Souls is a neat, die-hard and time-consuming game – aside from its predecessor the only one of its kind. This game is not for everyone – that's not a flaw, but a virtue.

An entertaining multiplayer title that can be played online or local with its greatest power when played by two people. However, the game appeals unfinished here and there and when it's played in three or more people, it becomes quite a mess.

Take on Helicopters will entertain all of you thinking that DCS: Ka-50 Black Shark simulator is too complicated or that Apache Air Assault is too arcade-oriented and militarily specialized. Take on Helicopters stands in the middle bringing half-done campaign and not so many machines, but on the other hand we can't leave out its future evolvement that now lies in the hands of the skilled community.

An epic japanese RPG that is great in everything it presents. In despite of its depth, the game is open to all players that have no experience with this type of gameplay.

It might have been your average good-class hack and slash game with a bit of RPG that might have entertained you for at least ten hours. But who wishes to drudge half a day with game's nonsensical and unavailing faults? No one.

The visuals are breathtaking, the story is fascinating and the gameplay is never-ending. Uncharted 3 is like a fast-paced locomotive that cannot be stopped. The expectations were high, but Naughty Dog met them and even added an action-oriented frantic multiplayer. This third title clearly honours its parents, but as a child it does tricks with its pulsing vigour.

A great game meets expectations and excels in a multiplayer. However, it isn't a perfect title of its genre as the game's campaign misses several touch ups. Battlefield 3 will definitely hold up among present shooters and with its multiplayer it's going to stick its players to their screens for a very long, long time.

The best Batman video game? Certainly. The best comics video game? Very likely. The best video game of the year 2011? Who knows… The sure thing is that Arkham City is a paradise for all of you in love with dark worlds thick with interesting characters, events and great gameplay. Bravo!

A great action-packed strategy game that is not taking itself serious to no avail. This one throws you straight into the waves of orcs, and you will enjoy it quite immensely regardless of the gamer's type you are: tower defense lover or action shooters fan. The only flaw I see is the absence of level editor and multiplayer – that will maybe be brought in the promised DLC.

Capcom are trying to get money from out of your wallet, and they don't even bother to impress you for it. It means that if you have played the second volume, you would waste your money for this Off The Record game. If it's not your case, buy it and slaughter those goners until dying away.

For some of you this is going to be a catlike degradation of the arcade series, for the others it's going to be their first moment to grab their plane and let their dream come true. There are helicopter missions and they are just fine. However, the story campaign full of turnovers and flashy broiling turns Ace Combat closer to passive gaping. Those simulator guys of you should wait for the upcoming hit by Jane's, for those of you bird of prey lovers – you should be enjoying this Namco's arcade video game under your Christmas tree.

Just a quick update of the list? On the contrary: FM 2012 is another excellent annual volume of the king of football manager games bringing a huge portion of improvements that do really good to its gameplay and to your addiction to it. For those lovers of the genre – this one is definitely for you.

A great sequel that is once again giving glory and pouring new blood to this legendary series. Heroes VI is a tribute to the finest titles of the series – a very good reason to play it.

A big disappointment that is ruining one book series' reputation. It's also killing nice aspiration to revive RTS genre by its fatal design faults. This is clear proof that only good intentions aren't enough, and sometimes they lead straight to hell.

This is an enjoyable entertainment for long winter nights that faces up to stereotype despite its oscillation in a gaming difficulty. All in all, it's a good title for the time of your lunch-break; however, for deep thoughts, complex mechanics and original ideas look elsewhere.

An extraordinarily tight race of the gaming titans continues. In the next round, Forza is passing Gran Turismo by an inch through the finish line because it has more clinging concept, sturdy multiplayer menu and an incredibly great number of car activities on/off the track. You won't find more addicting and everlasting racing game these days.

id Software maybe wished to create their own chef d'œuvre, but they missed it. However, apart from the wasted potential, they created a game they don't need to be ashamed of; nor do the gamers that are willing to play it.

Unreal Engine, top-notch technology, goes hand in hand with game's addicting gameplay and its great vibe – something I wouldn't expect from a mobile/tablet game like Gyro13.
