The fights are fun, but the same opponents and surroundings become boring very fast. There's no story to speak of, which is a shame regarding a license like Watchmen. The arguments between both heroes and the multi-player mode are fun, though.

Instead of being an entertaining horror game, I’m Not Alone seems to be a zombie itself. Should you see it somewhere, remember zombie rule number one and run for your life.

Scorpion: Disfigured uses some well-known features from other games, like weapon and character improvements (Deus EX) or psychic abilities (System Shock 2). But nothing really works well, not even shooting, which feels like throwing cotton balls. For a shooter, that's the final nail in the coffin and this game should be buried.

It looks like JoWood didn't learn much from releasing a bug-ridden Gothic 3 game. The new add-on is full of bugs, too. But even without them, the game wouldn't be as good as the other recently released RPGs. At least the quest and the story are well done.

The gameplay is a wreck, the heroine is lame, the story is ridiculous and the humor is cringe-worthy. Already one of the worst games of the year.

After this shock I must urgently re-play something better. For example, Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Quotation forthcoming.

We didn't expect part 2 to be better than part 1, but it scores 49 instead of the 48 points of the predecessor. Only 33 more Harry Potter games to go to be as good as the first one from 2002.

I have to kill everbody. It works, but it's a primitive piece of garbage. It's so bad, it's almost funny.

Quotation forthcoming.

It would be a quite decent theme park simulations if it weren't for all those bugs, crashes and a sub-par performance.

That's one thing we didn't want to know: That Creative Assembly can create bad games, too. The main reason for this is a new control concept that went terribly wrong. It's almost impossible to control your troops which enables the otherwise dumb AI opponents (no control problems there) to dominate in massive battles. In addition to being unplayable, Stormrise requires Windows Vista and a DirectX 10-card, too.

Quotation forthcoming.

Neil Gaiman should have stuck to writing, too complex for kids, too boring for adults.

It's very short but we still had to force ourselves to play on. Dumb non-stop battles, oversized dungeons and a tiring story is basically all there is. Think twice before buying this one.

Technically, Damnation is not up to date, it looks like a game from the 20th century with overly complicated controls. It's a shame, because it could have been so much better. Blue Omega, please try again.

Quotation forthcoming.

With its archaic graphics, dull missions and a flawed game balance, only the multi-player part saves this game from being a total disappointment. But that alone can't justify its existence.

Quotation forthcoming.

The sequel to the controversial Vietnam first person shooter abandoned the use of torture and atrocities to civilians. It also abandoned good graphics, atmosphere and almost everything else needed for a good game. Dumb enemies, exaggerated splatter effects, boring levels and graphics right from the last century - Shellshock 2 has nothing interesting to offer.

As a stylistic experiment The Quiet Man is quite courageous, as a game in terms of execution an absolute flop.

Playing Turning Point feels like travelling back in time. The game looks awful, the levels are boring, the enemies act foolish and the story is mediocre at best. Except for the music made by Michael Giacchino, nothing is worth mentioning. A case for the first person shooter garbage dump.

It's quite short. The credits were rolling after less than seven hours. The weak presentation is just as annoying as the question why the game deprives the player of lots of exciting situations. There are better games of the genre like Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Functional third-person shooter with neat-looking story sequences, but not much more.

Quotation forthcoming.

The fourth part of the Painkiller series plays just like the other ones. Using weapons like the painkiller you're fighting lots of weird opponents like axe-wielding monks or pirate zombies. As usual they act dumb, there is no AI to speak of. It's a game to play casually for 30 minutes now and then and doesn't aspire to be anything else.

A monotonous, frustrating adventure game that wouldn't be fun even without the severe bugs and performance problems.

I'd rather stick with zombie alternatives like Left 4 Dead, just because I can because in co-op play against the undead.
