    Fast-paced AA-shooter-action with an impressive level design and a great setting, however, its story and presentation cannot keep up.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    A great detective story with lots of vampire flair, trapped in the toothless body of a thin-blooded sequel.

    Gravel offers arcade racing fun at a high level, but can't quite compete with games like Dirt 4 or Forza Horizon 3.

    • 77 Critic Score
    An intelligent shooter with smart RTS elements, especially for solo players. Although the innovative scenario would have deserved a better story.

    The search for the best angle to take a shot, the good controls and smooth gameplay combine into a fast-paced foray, which ends just as fast after only four hours. There should have been a multi-player mode, the father and son characters almost demand a co-operative mode. The game is cheaper than usual, but it's still too expensive for a game that short.

    Planetary Annihilation is a game full of wasted opportunities.

    The core of the tower defense strategy mix is demanding and entertaining.

    It doesn't offer a lot of content, but it's a nice alternative to Left 4 Dead. Contagion won't start a new zombie hype, though.

    Ignoring, however, the sometimes really tough legacy of the first draft of the game, still remains at the core of an exciting commentary on bondage, control and repression, which can keep up with milestones such as Bioshock at least on this level.

    Legend of Dungeon is not a bad game. It's just terribly unoriginal and uncomfortable. It's fun anyway, because the basic principle works. However, I can also get much more successful in other games.

    Shattered Space offers a lot of what fans missed in the base game. Nevertheless, the story is a huge disappointment.

    Only two months after releasing SBK 09 Milestone starts selling the next racing game – no wonder it feels a bit rushed. It rarely manages to come close to similar games like Race Driver: GRID. It's not a bad game, though, and good enough for a few laps at lunch break.

    It's not as huge as Supreme Commander and not as fast as Star Craft, but it doesn't want to be. But without a single player campaign there's something missing.

    The actionpacked battles are fun for a while, but story, quests and the whole MMO part of the game are tiresome.

    Interesting city builder concept with a political focus, but it lacks information and fine tuning.

    It's still a good hockey game, but all in all it's the same game sold four years in a row anyway. While EA Sports polishes the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, it neglects the PC version, e.g. it's impossible to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and the maximum resolution is 1280x1024. Time for 2K Sports to step in with it's NHL 2k- series. It worked for NBA 2k9.

    Kaiserpunk fails to turn its exciting ideas into a consistent gaming experience.

    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.

    While it's undoubtedly a competent game even at this stage, I can see little reason why anyone would choose it over Starcraft 2. [Early Access Review]

    Even though it doesn't deserve an award for innovation, as far as variety, track design, AI and long-term motivation are concerned, Juiced 2 is far ahead of the competition.

    If we had to choose never to play a multi-player shooter again or to play breach, we would stop playing. Hitting walls with a hammer is probably more entertaining than Breach.

    It took seven years to finish this game. It's a bit like a huge box of Legos without a manual. Lot's of great parts, but it takes some time and work until everything fits together. With a bit more design it could have been a milestone of simulation games.

    If you don't expect too much and just take the game for what it is, you can have a lot of tun with it.

    In principle an exciting, but technically and content-wise disappointing co-op shooter.

    Forget logic or the laws of physics, you won’t need them in this game. It’s an absurd action feast where you play a super ninja called Ken Ogawa. The only problem with this game are frequent crashes which are annoying because you the game is only saved after completing a mission

    If I had tried to play this in my spare time, I would have given up after a few hours. Until then it's just confusing. But as a tester I had to play on and later on it's much better, more diverse and a motivating story.

    Good Formula One racing sim, but with lots of wasted potential regarding features, penalties and damage midel.
