    The plot is gripping, the characters more sympathetic.

    It's no masterpiece, but full of surprises. It may take some time to get into the game, but the different ways to progress in the game are motivating.

    Despite the short playing time of four hours, Sacred Citadel quickly become a tedious treadmill.

    An unusual idea with an intriguing setting, but immature mechanics.

    Guinea pigs are not the usual heroes. But in G-Force the little animals are part of a secret squad that has to stop the villain Saber. The game follows the movie, almost looks as good, but is clearly meant to be played by younger players.

    The technically moldy Left-4-Dead clone is entertaining with the right team, but tries too hard.

    Aquatico shines with an exciting setting but offers too little in the long run to compete with the big names in the genre.

    Lovingly staged RPG with a great story, an orchestral soundtrack and huge, chaotic battles.

    Star Drive is still a lot of potential.

    It's fun from the first moment on. Venetica offers a great introduction, a fascinating story, great quests and a very charming heroine. If you don't have the time for complex role playing games, but want something more than just an adventure game, then Venetica is for you.

    The action fan in me is entertained sumptuously by the brutal battles and the beefy revenge story.

    F1 2014 is old wine in new bottles.

    Even fans of the original should expect more here.

    Except for the huge selection of characters, there's no real reason to pay full price if you already own the predecessor.

    A free roaming role-playing game with pirates? Sounds great, but the developer managed to sink the ship. Apparently the programmers thought it would be funny to force a pirate to use the enter key a lot instead of the mouse, the story is broken and all that’s left is to get rid of this game somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

    Well-made homage to the classic Shadow of the Colossus, yet without its emotional depth, but with impressively clever boss fights.

    Lovely Planet wants to hammer home that it is sweet, crazy and colorful. But unfortunately, this is all just a facade. Underneath it's a superficial shooter that offers little variety and I can always shoot down the same boring tube passages.

    The first Hellboy game in 15 years impresses with its faithful graphics. Sadly the gameplay can only be described as mediocre at best.

    If you don't expect the promised but mostly missing D&D rules, this can be a very entertaining RPG. Otherwise you will be disappointed. The editor is useless (for now).

    It’s like a mediocre clone of the Splinter Cell games, but not as good as far as level design or free roaming are concerned. But the story is captivating and it's a refreshing change from all those WW2 action games.

    Confusing, disoriented, and with less focus on the crisp Faust ballet.

    One step forward, lots of steps back - and the magic is gone.

    Story and atmosphere make the new Black Mirror worthwhile, but the reboot of the series lacks gameplay substance.

    In Firefall the clear line is missing. The game was changed so frequently during its long development time, and re-designed, that it's just mixed way up from many individual ideas in the end, but not really in harmony as a complete work.

    Graphics and sound aren't that important in a turn baesd strategy game, but the problem with this game is the bad AI. It's still fun, but without long term motivation.

    Russian developers are said to make very difficult and unapproachable games, totally missing the international market. Reign: Conflict of Nations is an impressive proof. If you haven't thought of invading Jaroslawl with Latvia, you're better of with the Total War series.

    The PC port has its problems, but Toy Soldiers: War Chest still offers some entertaining hours of tricky Tower Defense fun.

    You're a soldier, fighting aliens and robots - as long as you manage to stay awake. The new game made by Chris Taylor fails because of its pointless story and that's not even the biggest problem of Space Siege. Uninspired levels, boring missions and the same opponents over and over again don't offer enough variety. It still has a certain appeal and would be worth 15 Euros, but definitely not 50 Euros.
