    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.

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

    Story shooter with big ambitions and plenty of rough edges, that would have deserved more time and care.

    I could fill novels with what is wrong with Postal 3. To shorten the whole thing, three words are enough: I am shocked. Not by the representation of violence and the scabrous knee-slappers, that many people see in the series. No, I'm shocked that Postal 3 turns out to be a technically older than dirt data cluster with lame gameplay, which has absolutely nothing really individual anymore. Oh dear, Postal 3 stimulates not even controversial discussions! In the end, it consists only of trivial game mechanics, which were copied cheesy from other games and have nothing to do with Postal itself anymore. Thereby Postal 3 is one of the biggest disappointments of 2011 for me. What have the developers just done for all eight years?

    An adventure game with clever puzzles and a nice story that stumbles over bad technical quirks and out-of-date graphics.

    There are some interesting ideas, but the simulation can't keep up with its own claims of being a job simulation.

    The concept of fusing open world and Musou is interesting, but it misses the mark due to poor performance and numerous bugs.

    Legendary cult games in a botched collection. Here Konami didn't put any effort into releasing a decent edition.

    The renovation fails: not only are the new additions crooked and wrong, they also bring the really solid foundation down.

    As an RPG, it's a disaster. Seen as a trashy pirate adventure it's crazy, funny and absurd.

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

    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.

    A shooter with bugs, missing features, balancing problems and an ingame-shop using real money.

    I would like to like that game because of its B-movie story and because of the natural-disaster-weapon. But as far as game design is concerned everything is just plain wrong: controls, AI and path finding.

    Moderately entertaining action RPG that [...] aggressively pushes players into the in-game shop.

    The War Z is plagued by too many mistakes, but the developers seem to be unprofessional. I've watched the development of the game for too long now - without realizing improvement.

    Dumb sexism, catastrophic controls, pretended tuning: racing fans should steer clear from Super Street: The Game.

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

    A disappointing first DLC that Empyrion doesn't deserve. Better stick to the base game and mods.

    Rotating lights and lots of shadows: Autobahn Police Simulator puts great ideas into a merciless shredder.

    We like Indie games – but Dead meet lead just offers boring gameplay, unfair levels, no atmosphere or story and an ancient kind of presentation. Nobody needs that.

    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.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Unfinished, overpriced, void and technically weak expansion with inferior gameplay.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    The actually good concept is mercilessly drowned in a flood of poor game design choices and flawed programming.

    If life as a supermarket manager were as boring and terrifying as it is here, then we would have a problem - because nobody would do the job.

    Do you have a six year old son who likes to watch CSI? Then this is the game for him. There's a shattered body lying next to the Empire State building, so we start collecting evidence all around it: Pretzels, empty cans, flowering pots and rubber ducks. That doesn't make any sense? That's right, this just a simple game of "find the hidden object" with a thin story and some CSI people. Asking 30 Euros for all that is nothing but a rip-off. Well done, Ubisoft.
