Darksiders 2 is larger, more varied and more motivating than the first game, and all game elements - be it story, battle, puzzle or skill pad - engage almost perfectly. I would have preferred a slightly more modern technology backbone and more fine-tuned mouse and keyboard controls. But these are small things that I forgive in such a captivating game as this.

The game is never boring and always impressed by cool ideas, and diversity.

Please, Calypso and Nova Core: Rescue, what can be saved.

The tactical elements go along really well with the action-heavy component of the game and with the large number of weapons and traps, it will not get boring.

For a first game it's surprisingly complex, challenging and motivating.

Of all the current space strategy games Sins of a Solar Empire is my favorite.

It does not forget the madness of war.

A really nice feel-good game.

Krater makes me sad... It has a lot of potential.

Rockstar has managed to make Max as a character so compelling that the guy alone bears the full story.

Personally, I'm counting the days until the appearance of even the next episode.

Tribes: Ascend has become for me a true love-hate relationship.

I was most impressed that Legend of Grimrock treats its players seriously and as thinking beings - not as blunt consumers.

A little more intelligent AI would have made the stealth and evasion exciting passages, taking somewhat more precise control of some frustrating moments. However, Warp is a nice game, everyone should try this one, especially since it only costs ten euros.

Vessel annoyed me at first with the more sub-optimal control, but the more I've played, the more fun but I had it.

Flight is a waste of time.

The fusion of real-time strategy with tower defense rules works surprisingly well.

The idea with the Matryoshka dolls: beautiful.

Syndicate leaves me cold at almost all levels. And where it will not let me cold, it repels me.

Indeed, it grieves me that Remedy has placed the survival horror passages comparatively unloving and exhausting in the game, but anger quickly fades behind the the fantastic story. Other developers may gladly follow its example.

Compared to the ageless original, Back in Action is indeed not a milestone of the genre - but it's certainly a solid tactical game. Because the plan & go mode works, the selection of mercenaries and weapons is huge and I'm engaged for weeks with the liberation of Arulco.

Insane 2 develops all his fun-potential only in multiplayer mode, at least in the abstract. De facto I detect a fellow player on the abandoned servers only in exceptional cases. My advice: Just organize a LAN party once again, as it used to be. Then Insane 2 becomes a guaranteed life of the party.

Jenny's death in the first part of The Darkness is in my mind one of the most emotional moments of the shooter genre. All the better to think that this great story continues now – even though without a satisfactory conclusion...Apart from this, levelheadedly observed, there is not so much within The Darkness 2. The gameplay is repetitive, and there's not much of it. And yet the game entertained me in the short time very well.

The battles feel like the ones from Darksiders, the dialogues remind of Bioware titles, and the world wants to be as big and multifarious as Skyrim. Reckoning gets this mixture just about right, but misses its evident types in any discipline. I had fun anyway, which is mainly due to the cool talent system and the fascinating tale. Whoever lets oneself into it, receives a successful action-role-playing game that has found its place exactly between linear story-nuggets (Dragon Age) and open-world adventures (Skyrim).

I was so looking forward to the sequel of the surprise hit King Arthur, because the conditions were all present: a predecessor with awesome expandable ideas, a thought-out mix of RPG and strategy, nice-looking presentation, a fresh, well-formulated scenario and airworthy units, which are yet not overpowering. But what happens? Like so many other titles, King Arthur 2 releases in the market in a completely immature state. Persistent fans can take delight in playing it, but only with a stubborn will. But I'm tired of struggling through crashes, plot-stoppers and judder-performance. Actually, I appreciate Paradox as sympathetic niche publisher of games offside the mainstream. But nothing is squandered as fast as sympathy and confidence. So please, Paradox: from now on no more hasty reactions.

Lucasarts has found a worthy heir: Daedalic from Germany. The game may deal with rubbish, dirt and crap, but there is only one word to describe Deponia: terrific!

I could fill novels with what is wrong with Postal 3. To shorten the whole thing, three words are enough: I am shocked. Not by the representation of violence and the scabrous knee-slappers, that many people see in the series. No, I'm shocked that Postal 3 turns out to be a technically older than dirt data cluster with lame gameplay, which has absolutely nothing really individual anymore. Oh dear, Postal 3 stimulates not even controversial discussions! In the end, it consists only of trivial game mechanics, which were copied cheesy from other games and have nothing to do with Postal itself anymore. Thereby Postal 3 is one of the biggest disappointments of 2011 for me. What have the developers just done for all eight years?

The Old Republic gives me exactly what I expect as a fan: Star Wars atmosphere till the cow comes home. I can flail around with lightsabers, fight spectacular space battles and roam around on the famous planets from the template. And indeed, the quests comply with genre standards. And well, the combat system is not particularly innovative. But on the other hand I get a customised story for myself, which drives me with the aid of the the dialogue, really cool AI companions and the freedom of choice into the game in an outstanding wise – this is something that I never witnessed in an online role-playing game in this way. I can already see myself levelling up all eight classes to level 50, just to experience the terrific story.

The subtitle of Flatout 3 is "Chaos & Destruction". Quite appropriate: This impudence sparked in me an unexpected destructive frenzy so far. And after throwing my gamepad about twentyseventimes through my office, it was also there, indeed, pretty chaotic. The subtitle, however, remains the only promise that redeems Flatout 3 - the rest is utter misnomer. Here is pursued, in the most shameless way, to flog off an abysmal racing game with a known name to unsuspecting fans of the series. Flatout has not deserved this!
