    If you like those kind of games, it's probably the best of the last 25 years. It's a game of extremes, the graphics are simply annoying, but it can keep you playing one level for a whole day.

    It's not really the next big thing, but well done, with great characters and humor. And there is still room for a lot of sequels.

    This is a real heavy-weight in the genre of horror adventure games. Fans of the gerne will be excited.

    The developers just ignored the releases of the last four years, so everthing in this game is way out of date: AI, mission designs, physics and online mode. Get Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit instead.

    • 76 Critic Score
    There's still a lot to do for the developers, but if you like the DC universe and want to get away from World of Warcraft, give this game a chance. Even if you don't pay monthly fees it's still a full co-op action game.

    Bloodline Champions hits the sweet spot: no unnecessary stuff, but unique and well balanced heros in a great player-vs-player environment. And it's free, too.

    It's quite surprising that a strategy game with only one kind of unit can be that entertaining. If you'd like to play something different, give this one a try.

    The game switches from too difficult to boring all the time. In the end we had to force ourselves to keep on playing. A perfect example for game mechanics gone wrong.

    If we had to choose never to play a multi-player shooter again or to play breach, we would stop playing. Hitting walls with a hammer is probably more entertaining than Breach.

    The first Dead Space was a stress test, this is a real game where you can stop, recover and play around with different weapons- and it's still extremly thrilling.

    It's an average game, but it could have been much better with some polishing, a better story and less of the mostly boring fights.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a very hard game, but also extremly motivating and fun. The puzzles are cleverly designed and the retro style very charming. If you like the genre, you have to buy this game.

    What a game Gray Matter could have been if the developers would have been able to deliver more than second rate puzzles. Still, if you like adventures, you should give it a try.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A classic adventure game masterpiece with great puzzles that never leaves the player alone or clueless what to do next. If you like the classic adventure games, go and buy it.

    This is Harry Potter and the Deadly Shallows. It's only six hours long, but just as boring and confusing as the book and just as bad as the console versions.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    The puzzles are boring after a while, the graphics are old-fashioned and even more annoying: the game tells what to do and when to do it. It's like Ma telling you how to build your sand castle.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It's so fast and crazy, every fan of action racing games will love it. At least for a few hours, because then you've done everything and there's nothing left to motivate the player. Still great for a little fun in between.

    It's a nice little and funny game for fans of Sam & Max, Team Fortress, Penny Arcade or Home Star Runner, but it's a bad poker game. Medium difficulty is too easy and in hard mode the game seems to cheat.

    It's longer, funnier and more diverse than the first game, so it's simply better. But we really want to see a better character system – or more of that kind of humor in Diablo 3.

    This is the best WoW so far and that's true in every aspect of the game. It's a bit too easy, but it has the most original quests of every other MMORPG.

    Doesn't live up to its potential. The game can be fun, but never feels right. Well done, but missed the mark.

    This is not only a Need for Speed how it should be, it's also a nod to the best part of the series. What a car park! Those car chases! And the rush of speed. And online it's even better.

    A lot of the usual equipment is missing, which doesn't matter too much because of the great atmosphere. But in the long run after getting all the gold medals, we'll go back to the main game.

    Four Spider-Men in four parallel worlds is no guarantee for four times the fun. If the game was comic, we would skip ahead to the cool bits.

    Firing missiles from a large distance you'll only see yellow squares and triangles disappear. But close up you'll experience dog fights, explosions and the speed rush of low level flight.

    A step in the right direction: more realism and challange. The missing official licenses and wrong squads and the sometimes buggy AI are the only downsides.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 66 Critic Score
    The developers must have noticed that the controls hinder game play and that the pathfinding doesn't work at all. The editor is missing, too. What a waste of potential.

    The least interesting add-on for The Sims 3. There's a good amount of new accessories, but hardly any new rules or challenges. It's like EA saying here are some new toys, go and play."

    It's a typical FIFA Manager with it's great atmosphere, some bugs and with handful of small, but great improvements.
