It's a well done game and it doesn't cost much. The multiplayer matches are worth playing and the dynamic mission design makes for some nice surprises. The solo campaign is lacking, though.

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.

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.

Here and there it's possible to see that the developers really tried to deliver a decent game, but for some reason they couldn't. A sword fighting game that doesn't include good fighting animations is just as pointless as a racing game without physics or damage.

It's a well done game with surprisingly diverse tasks. It's not too demanding, but there are challenging puzzles to solve and the cut-scenes are probably the funniest of the series.

It's not as good as Mount & Blade: Warband. There may be a story driven campaign, but less complexity. The captain mode isn't what it's meant to be and there are still some bugs to fix. And there are better and free mods, so why pay for that one?

Brink has lots of interesting ideas, but most of them are only half-done, like the mix between bot-matches and multiplayer, which is a good idea with a very bad AI. Brink could and should have been better.

It's like the 2007 game Dungeon Runners, just bigger and less self-deprecating. There is no great story, but who cares if it's free and fills the gap until Diablo 3 is finished.

It may be a simple game, but who cares- The low difficulty makes it possible to enjoy the fairy tale world where you can be a benevolent hero and king – or just the opposite.

Quotation forthcoming.

Even as an adult it's possible to get lost in a seemingly childish world and have fun with the deep stories, weird characters and world. It's worth a try despite its problems.

Allods Online doesn't re-invent the wheel, but manages to mix old and new extremely well. Once you own your first ship it doesn't feel like a WoW clone either. But it needs a lot of time and friends to play with.

Reality Pump creates a tower defense game which for once doesn't force me to just watch while the opponent attacks – and then the game mechanics are a failure, the game is unbalanced the AI is very, very dumb.

There's that feeling that I should have fun playing the game, but most of the time I'm bored or angry because the controls are buggy. But if you like to be creative, maybe you'll be happy in this colourful world.

The game lacks diversity. In each of the similar looking rooms you're doing the same thing. The less well done shooter elements and climbing passages can't change that.

Once again Codemasters delivers a great racing game, a worthy sequel and a sensible expansion of the game. Just the rain and snow races alone are reason enough to buy the game.

The sheer power of storytelling is amazing and shows the way for other games. There are some bugs which could have been ironed out in a few more weeks of development time. But it's still a great game that feels like playing a fantasy novel.

A must-have for every games looking for a clever, funny and original challenge. Portal 2 offers lots of surprises and twists and has been tuned just right to be challenging, but not frustrating. The level design is fair and keeps the motivation high until the end.

If you like to try out different things and new concepts, it's more than worth a look. The co-op play, the battles and experiments with new spells are fun, but there are many balance problems and bugs the developers need to fix.

The game experience is too intense, it really feels like sitting in a real racing car. Due to the high difficulty Shift 2 should be avoided by beginners or casual racers. Everybody else can enjoy a huge and diverse racing game.

The Sims Medieval is a funny game for explorers, full of little gems, but the everyday life of the Sims has been simplified and feels routine very quickly. It's very entertaining for a while, but too shallow to motivate for long.

The open world of Crysis is no more and players are confined to long levels, but Crysis 2 offers more speed and more action and still more freedom than the whole Call of Duty series combined. The nanosuit much more important now and a lot easier to use.

Same hero, same era, same game mechanics – but surprisingly huge, with well designed missions and a great atmosphere. But you should have played Assassins's Creed 2 to know what's going on.

Great setting, but it's more or less another Call of Duty clone with some nice ideas. But everything feels like the game just had to be released, so a lot of potential hasn't been realised yet. Maybe that's something for the sequel.

Shogun 2 takes the series back to its roots and got rid of a lot of complicated and confusing details. Now it's possible to concentrate on the really important tasks again: battles, ruling the country and cursing.

Calling Retribution an addon is almost an insult. This new episode offers not only new units and missions, but six single player campaigns, lots of improvments and a fully fledged multiplayer game. That's more than some full-price games.

If you are looking for a simple and entertaining shooter, that's not a Call of Duty clone, which offers lots of humour and a great story, Bulletstorm could be for you.

RIFT doesn't repeat the mistakes of Age of Conan or Warhammer Online, where high-level players had nothing to do except being bored. Lots of quests, PVP, exploring, crafting and instances – there's a lot to do right from the start and even after level 50.
