Gord interprets the construction genre differently. It relies on story instead of complexity, with all the strengths and weaknesses that entails.

Eternally repetitive missions, outrageously long loading times and a completely irrelevant story. That could not be everything. But after the credits, I was disappointed again: that was actually everything.

Quotation forthcoming.

A bee’s life can be a bit boring, but it’s a touching interactive story.

Skull and Bones is the unfinished framework of a great pirate open world that still needs a lot more content.

It's a sleeping pill disguised as an online action game with mediocre graphics, bad controls, frustrations and most of all: boredom.

Usually adventure games don't need great graphics, but here the visuals are so weak, they rob the game of its atmosphere.

There's a line drawn between uncomplicated action and stupid nonsense and that's exactly where Wheelman is lurching about. In large parts it's like GTA with the exception that nothing really works. The game feels artificial, unfinished, has no soul and takes itself too seriously. At least that's unintentionally funny.

The idea behind Kyn is great, but it suffers from a lot of bugs, problems and half-baked game mechanics.

Quotation forthcoming.

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

CoD Modern Warfare 3 hides one of the best multiplayer modes in years between a crappy campaign and an insignificant zombie mode.

Fun racer with adorable tracks and toy cars, that suffers from his online focus and technical problems.

It takes quite some time to get into the game and a lot of it will be spent loading saved games, but once you're over that stage, Hired Guns offers a lot of fun. The game feels like a graphically enhanced Jagged Alliance 2, which isn't bad - quite the opposite. Hired Guns has its weaknesses, but is appealing nontheless.

Quotation forthcoming.

I experience these moments of happiness much less often than its predecessor. For the most part of the campaign, I'm disappointed to be annoyed by all the inconsistencies.

First-person shooter with great atmosphere that suffers from monotonous gameplay, performance problems and a poor co-op mode.

It is this element of exploration and free moving that I sorely missed in the first part.

Recore is a refreshing mix of platformer and shooter at heart, but also an action adventure that suffers from too much slack.

We did not expect much from this game to begin with – its predecessor only achieved 44 out of 100 points. The second part is clearly better, but that still means nothing more than mediocrity because it fails in areas like AI, mission design and long term motivation.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Shroud of the Avatar want to be everything: single-player RPG, co-cop game and MMO, but does not quite manage that balancing act.

Atmospheric adventure game with many Witcher influences and an exciting detective story. Graphically and in terms of gameplay, however, The Inquisitor is rather weak.

At best, a mediocre action shooter that is reminiscent of games from the turn of the millennium, mainly due to its outdated technology.

A slow-paced, peaceful farming sim that, despite lots of walking, offers a relaxing break in the idyllic Shire.

This game shows what most athletes have to endure during the Olympic Games: losing and nervous breakdowns. There are 14 disciplines, each of which is extremely hard to master, mainly because of the bad controls, leaving you to guess what caused the problem. It looks and sounds good, but that’s it.

Entertaining, but shallow co-op and not really a successor to the RPG series.
