    Currently, I still hope that a simple replacement function for user-generated challenges or even entire campaigns will be available again.

    As an action RPG or MMO Marvel Heroes is at best mediocre.

    He who does not sweat through at least a T-shirt in an online game of Company of Heroes 2 has already lost or has a downright frosty soul.

    I was more surprised by how well the developers mixed fighting, climbing and exciting history with such an unusual and coherent science fiction scenario.

    An entertaining, professionally produced mainstream racing game for a mainstream audience. 95% may rejoice. I am one of the other 5%. [Heiko Klinge]

    The laying of tram tracks and overhead lines is so complicated that I'd rather build five bus lines as a single tram line, even if it's humbug economically.

    Bikes, speed and fat explosions - one thing is clear: Trials Evolution: Gold Edition had me from the first second.

    I'd rather stick with zombie alternatives like Left 4 Dead, just because I can because in co-op play against the undead.

    My conclusion after eleven hours: Bioshock Infinite is one of the best games I've ever been able to experience. My conclusion after twelve hours: What the hell? Whoever calls the finale "unusual" could denote the Atlantic Ocean as a "wet". Infinite makes me simultaneously gobsmacked, amazed and very pleased - and even after two weeks, I cannot tell you exactly which emotion prevails.

    I respond to the countless explosions only with copious yawns. The action game is not really bad, but it's just not particularly good either.

    Such small inconsistencies fade before an embarrassing overall picture that Colonial Marines delivers: an ugly, poorly voiced and narrated lousy 0815-shooter.

    Dead Space 3, despite its strengths in presentation, atmosphere and sound remained well below the class of its predecessors. Too bad if you consider that this is probably due to targeting a wider audience.

    The game mechanics are fundamentally broken.

    The core game works surprisingly well, the dynamic space battles make for some great moments - and what a sublime feeling it is, if one has been bitten again.

    The War Z is plagued by too many mistakes, but the developers seem to be unprofessional. I've watched the development of the game for too long now - without realizing improvement.

    Capcom has done an excellent implementation for the PC.

    I am really looking forward to the next mission, the next dialog, the next puzzle. As in a solo role-playing game flat. And this is not an error but a boon.

    I definitely had fun with Retro City Rampage, that much is clear.

    Compared to the already great predecessor Chaos on Deponia is even more complex, exciting, diverse and even funnier. It's perfect for Monkey Island fans, duckbills haters and Monty Phython disciples who like those subtle tones in dialogues and stories that will make adult gamers roar with laughter.

    Warfighter is well-made, has been set elaborately staged and looks good enough to eat in places. However, I constantly feel we have been through the whole spectacle in three dozen other shooters.
