A mechanically solid, but also strangely artificial-looking DLC that mainly boosts your in-game bank account.

Lots of replay value for a fair price - as long as you can handle a bit of frustration and retro graphics.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway offers the best gameplay and narrative of all three parts of the series. It's a thrilling shooter, tells a haunting story that shouldn't leave anyone untouched and the cut scenes are fantastic. The AI has a few bugs, but most of the time the other soldiers act convincingly intelligent. The best "Brothers in Arms" so far.

Railgrade is one of those games that get weaker over time.

It starts like a great game with a fantastic horror atmosphere, but then turns into a B-movie with a convoluted story and absurd puzzles.

A lot of minor improvements and the official UEFA Champions League license make sure that Pro Evolution Soccer can defend the number one spot - but this time it has to share it with FIFA 09. Despite the license, not all teams carry their original name and the Champions League is called European Championship. The online-mode works for the first time, but it's still too complicated and unclear. All in all, Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is a bit better than last year's version, but only as good as FIFA 09.

Fast-paced shooter revival of the first F.E.A.R., mixed with stylish acrobatics and fantastic gunplay.

In Terra Nil you spend time demolishing your buildings - for the sake of nature.

Quotation forthcoming.

Good mix of board game, classic pen & paper, turn-based combat and roguelike with few new features.

The story has its weaknesses, but offers an exciting, non-linear experience with great actors and far-reaching consequences.

It's one of the best co-op shooters since Left 4 Dead 2, but bugs, design shortcoming and technical problems lower the score.

The atmospheric open world doesn't reinvent the wheel, yet entertains with sublime puzzles and fun combat.

Despite the 3D graphics, Tropico 3 is basically the same game like the first version eight years ago. A lot of things are not up to date, but the mix of politics, economy, development and black humor is ageless. If you liked the first Tropico, you will love the new one.

This add-on improves the gameplay and the atmosphere of an already great game. It's the sole ruler of the city builder genre.

It's a good adventure game, but for veterans of the series it's still disappointing. It's obvious that Telltale tried to make the best out of a small budget, but Monkey Island deserves better than that. It hurts to see the greatest adventure series being cut into little pieces.

A fascinating viking journey with silent moments and boss fights, but it sometimes lacks narrative.

Bloodline Champions hits the sweet spot: no unnecessary stuff, but unique and well balanced heros in a great player-vs-player environment. And it's free, too.

In Minit, retro Zelda charm meets a world as sweet as it is strange, with more and more incentives to explore, minute by minute.

Scholar of the First Sin is the ultimate Dark Souls 2, no question.

The many missions and unlockables also offer plenty of food for many hours raid pleasure.

Seen purely as a game Valiant Hearts is average at best. But it's not just a game, but an interactive and therefore sustained-history lesson about one of the darkest chapters in human history.

Brilliant modern military shooter with a strong campaign and excellent gunplay, but in many respects a foundation for subsequent updates.

Quotation forthcoming.

In its current state, there are simply too many cogwheels missing in the gearbox, so I advise against buying it. Instead, you should reconsider a purchase upon release. [Early Access Review]

Assassin's Creed is a feast for the eyes. The views are breathtaking, and Altair moves smoothly through the Orient. For all its great setting and dialogues, the game is not as good as it could be and should be -- gameplay is repetetive and rather predictable. But it's good enough to have a few hours of fun.

A top-notch collection of all 2D-era milestones of the Street Fighter series, many of which are still very playable today.

A genuine SpongeBob adventure through and through: silly, diverse, easy to play, and very family-friendly.
