Not a bad game per se, but Elminage Original sometimes stays a little bit too true to the rules of its genre. Confuse handling and a non-existent story sometimes diminish the fun of the gameplay.

Building the paradise up is so motivating, that you beat the dungeons over and over again, even though they are repetitive.

Unfortunately, this is a very short pleasure, as there is no multiplayer mode and a lot of content is missing. Nevertheless, in its short time it offers quite some variety.

With its visuals, the shallow storyline, its limited size and gameplay failures, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 proves that games being delayed several times often show deficiencies in quality, which results in an unexpectedly low fun factor. The chance to surpass its predecessor unfortunately hasn't been taken.

A solid game, although there are some weaknesses, some of them caused by Oswald being this AI teammate. The freedom you have to explore Wasteland as you wish and several great approaches in the matters of gameplay and story are unfortunately let down by some serious framerate issues and the fact that it's simply too easy to lose the thread.

Our general impression was: SimCity is good fun. Unfortunately, the game is let down by some serious server breakdowns leading to quite long waiting times and the fact that it doesn't really have a proper single-player mode. By addressing these issues and providing the possibility not to only be able to build cities along with other hobby mayors the developer could easily develop into a buy recommendation from our side.

Serious Sam Double D XXL really is a 2D Serious Sam. The stackable weapons are nice; however, the gameplay and the jokes are a little bit too moronic. The multiplayer is ok, for some hours, but after playing a while, the game gets boring.

Despite the crude graphics Spy Hunter is somehow addictive and really entertaining. But after all the price is a deal breaker and therefore this game is not so much a bestseller as a collector's item.

A game with some good ideas. Unfortunately, the game does not live up to its potential. An overall a feeling of crudeness remains and the repetitive gameplay can't captivate.

The only thing the HD rejuvenation really imbued is the graphic design and that's simply not enough to recommend Nights into Dreams to anyone but true retro lovers.

Crash Time 5 is a disappointing mixture of various racing games therefore you should stick to the TV series if you're a fan of the brand.

A confusing storyline, a borderline stupid AI and the monotonous gameplay are the main down sides to a mediocre adaption of the successful TV series.

It's a pity where the Book of Memories is taking the Silent Hill series: Only quantity, no quality; a lack of gameplay and story; a shift in genres which should have been done with much more caution and love. Silent Hill fans, don't touch this.

This arcade title has much potential, but it's only grounded in the multiplayer modes which are fun. On the single-player side it lacks variety and a background story.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's damn fun to collect bolts, shoot some enemies and improve the base-defense, but only in the multiplayer mode. Lacking gameplay-depth makes the single-player not really entertaining. In my point of view the game is ok, but it's not a true Ratchet & Clank game. It seems that Sony took the name of a well-known franchise and made a traditional base-defense-game instead of a new game in the world of Ratchet & Clank.

Fashion-Fans get a lot of tasks and may get inspired, what they could try out themselves.

The wide variety of exercises with different stages provides fun and should help to burn calories.

Just Dance 4 does what a party game has to do: it entertains. The Wii U exclusive features might not be enough to put it above the Wii Version, but nonetheless dance fanatics will get a well done game.

It's nice, but not more. It can't hold a candle to the more established series like Harvest Moon, Farmville and all the others. Surprisingly, it's a full priced game, but it's only fun for a few hours.

Iron Sky Invasion creates a trashy, funny atmosphere, like the film does. However, it has a simple and slow gameplay with really boring missions. Maybe there are some few Iron Sky fans, who like the game, but if you like complex, tactical space battles, Iron Sky Invasion is not the right game for you.

Midway Arcade Origins has 31 classic-games to offer and can convince with an authentic presentation. The problem is the small degree of diversity. Most of the games are just boring after five minutes and only a few of them can really last longer. Local multiplayer is great though. All in all the game can make your friends and you a nice evening of gaming, but nothing more.

Not as much fun as you might expect. It's a great experiment in terms of what the GamePad is capable of, but as a game, Rabbids Land isn't that much of a success.

Angry Birds Trilogy brings the timeless and addictive gameplay onto Nintendo's handheld.

Very much potential, but Ben 10 Omniverse didn't manage to deliver. Exploration as well as combat is boring, and the plot is not relevant at all.

Tank! Tank! Tank! makes fun for about an hour, than you have seen everything. There is no variety, no gameplay-depth and old-school graphics.

Inazuma Eleven Strikers is a game with a lot of potential, with a funny multiplayer and the well made art works. Unfortunately, there is no flow and often the gameplay is messy.

Danger Close's Medal of Honor: Warfighter cannot stand out of the huge amount of military shooters. And that's a shame, because aside from the evil terrorist's story, playing is quite good fun. Even if there is no proper use of the Frostbite 2 engine, Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a solid game that doesn't have too many own ideas.

There are some great improvements compared to the predecessor, but nonetheless Zumba Fitness Rush has its weak points. After all, the game offers a nice workout program for newcomers.

Sony went new ways with Wonderbook, but the debut-title The Book of Spells has some weak points. The story vom J. K. Rowing and the Harry Potter-air are great, but the detection doesn't work correctly the whole time, the game is too short and the gameplay is repetitive. I hope the next titles for Wonderbook will unleash the full potential of the new device, because The Book of Spells doesn't.

7554 Glorious Memories Revived is the first big game from Vietnam. Emboli Games has drawn attention to itself and showed that there are also other shooter games outside of America and Europe. While the look and the gameplay are mediocre, the level of difficulty and the survival mode are a welcome change. Emboli Games didn't reinvent the wheel with 7554, but it's nice that you can join Charlie once in a while.

007 Legends may be a good game for the celebration of Bond's 50th Birthday, but after all it is too flawed to be recommended, not even for fans of the MI6 agent.

Planets under Attack is a strategy game with addictive potential. The increasing difficulty even in easy mode makes the game a challenge. The skirmish mode and especially the multiplayer mode are the centerpieces of the game.

WRC 3, compared to its two predecessors, finally caught up a bit, but still loses against the one year old DiRT 3. Same as SBK Generations, also from Milestone Studio, the game has improved a bit but there are still better and more realistic titles out there. On the one hand the game looks quite good and the damage model is impressive, on the other hand WRC 3 offers poor atmosphere and presentation.

SBK Generations provides four years Superbike action with licensed teams and racers. Unfortunately the game has a weak atmosphere, modest graphics and sounds, as well as a boring AI. Milestone Studio should really start to develop the franchise, instead of copying the old version over and over again.

Mugen Souls offers the typical JRPG look with matching music. Nevertheless the graphics aren't overwhelming and although the synchronization is great, even if there is no german version, there are just too much dialogues in the game. The turn-based gameplay provides tactical depth and the innumerable attacks and the Moe-Kill offer more variety during combat.

With the three official MX1, MX2 and MXoN (Motocross of Nations) championships, the 14 licensed motorcycles, 84 current racers and twelve official race tracks, the game seems to be pretty perfect. Unfortunately, there is no way to create your own player, the multiplayer mode misses the trick competition and the number of players in a race is just too low.

The major fault of Medal of Honor: Warfighter is the missing unique characteristic. Except for the Fireteam there are no innovations and whilst the single player campaign is too short everything in it feels long-known and you simply can't escape the "been there done that feeling".

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is a real old-school shooter, which is for friends of the classic Shoot, Run, Jump.

Naughty Bear received a 50% rating and since Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise offers more kills, more teddys and a lot of crazy outfits, we orient ourselves to the top, but nonetheless the game can't escape mediocrity.

Dogfight 1942 offers beautifully designed airplanes and heroic scenes and invites you for a fly in the scenery of the year 1942.

Zuma's Revenge, a little frog and shooting balls like a machine gun mix up to a classic match-3 game for all young people and those who want to stay young.

Soccer-Fans might be able to make friends with the clumsy controls and manage to earn virtual money in this quite interesting Career Mode.

Jet Set Radio is a remastered must have game for Dreamcast lovers. Groovy sound, funky environments and lots of areas to explore.

Unfortunately the abysmal AI and the strange first-person shooter sections spoil the basically good strategy game.

The only great thing for DBZ fans is the brand new anime episode, but that's not enough to satisfy the players.

Madagascar 3: has some nice cut-scenes with the original voices of the movie, but there is simply far too little offered in the game. The story mode has so much boring tasks for the player even children would not have fun with those. However, the mini-games are funny, playable for two players and well made for children.

Despite too similar settings and a fast rising difficulty level Wreckateer delivers a solid casual gaming experience with a great implementation of the Kinect system.

If you can't get enough of creating colourful and unique creatures, you'll get the right tool with this game.

Inversion has lots of potential with a gravitational weapon, an interesting starting story and good gameplay elements. Sadly, it cannot use this potential and seems to be that it was not enough time to finish Inversion as an exciting, well-made game.

The gameplay of Bust-n-Rush is funny and nice, but after an hour the game gets realy boring because there is no more new content and no alternation.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD has no offline multiplayer, no HORSE mode, ugly graphics, not full track listing of from both games and you can't create own skaters. So many things are left out, however it is still a good game, because when you play it, you will get those old feelings of the early games.

Enclave: Shadows of Twilight is not even a good port of the original. Graphics and gameplay are bad in nearly any fiber of the game.

Despite being a solid action game and having a good concept Inversion unfortunately fails to impress in nearly all aspects of gameplay and story.

With the likes of Tales of Vesperia JRPGs got a pretty high standard already. Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland looks really adorable at first sight and fans of the series will probably love it, but if you take a closer look there is a lot to dislike about this game. The story is much too shallow for an RPG and the environment looks awfully stinted. The characters though really look detailed and nice and the Japanese synchronization is well done. Though the gameplay is pretty diversified, the missions and errands are not, which makes the game boring after a few hours, if you are not a fan of the series. Overall it's a pretty "girly" game, with no surprises.

I expected an awesome desert shooter, but I only got a midclass shooter. There is to much scripting, an environment with few details and nothing special. The multiplayer mode looks fun but over all it's not enough to be a summer highlight.

Despite a solid story and decent graphics Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor fails to implement the Kinect in an acceptable manor. And so frustration prevails over the pleasure of gaming.

Lollipop Chainsaw delivers a solid zombie action experience, but the creative humorous aha reaction fails to appear. Despite nice boss designs and a somewhat new take on the whole zombie thing, the game falls short of expectations.

Despite nice graphics Bloodforge suffers from control issues, bad camera work and a poorly told story.

PixelJunk 4am isn't a game, it's more like a social network experiment. That's a gift and a curse at the same time: All depends on the music you're playing or listening to. If you like it, everything's great, but if you can't stand the beats, you'll go offline in a jiffy. It's so creative and there sure are a lot of options, however, your mileage may vary so much that it isn't possible to predict if players will actually love the game.

Every – really every – fan of Ninja Gaiden was probably expecting a different game than this Ninja Gaiden 3.

Unfortunately Rugby World Cup 2011 is not worth the money it costs – not even for a rugbyplayer or -fan.

Deep Black: Reloaded is a third person shooter with great potential in gameplay and graphics, but the level design is simple, the gameplay offers no special features and one fights against the same enemies all the time. However, if you search for an uncomplicated shooter and don't mind some problems in gameplay, graphics and story, you could give Deep Black: Reloaded a try.

PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond could have been something great for the fans of Pikachu & friends, but the game disappoints with bad controls, the missing rpg-elements and a poor presentation.

Another disappointment for fans of the first four Silent Hill games. The controls during battle are unfair and dumb and the fact that you can only carry one weapon at a time is simply annoying. One of the few positive things is the rain-dynamic. The more it rains the more creatures prey upon you. The graphics are muddy and fall apart under technical issues like sudden freezing. The game looks less scary overall and reminds of Alan Wake. All things considered it is not Silent Hill anymore. There is no oppressive and dark atmosphere left.

Boring graphics and music lacerate the heart of a "Rock'n'Roll Racing"-veteran.

Only Ryu Hayabusa is left from the good old Ninja Gaiden games. The newest title lacks a cool story, real depth to the combat system and state-of-the-art graphics. A pitiful continuation – possibly end – for a once cool core action game series.

If you want to solve the puzzles in The Second Guest, you should bring a good level of frustration resistance. Not because of the challenge, but due to the unfinished feel of a title squandering its potential.

It's not Yakuza anymore – it's a new House of the Dead in a Yakuza environment. Poor mechanics, weird story and repetitive gameplay kill the atmosphere and leave a mediocre third-person zombie shooter.

It's a step in the right direction, but the sequel to X-Blades still is not up to date. The graphics fall between Wii and PS3 standard (closer to Wii), the sounds are annoying and the gameplay still isn't satisfying. There is an online multiplayer and the time feature is a big advantage. Still, considering the low price, it could be interesting for hardcore hack'n'slay fans out of things to do (in).

Club Penguin EPF might not be a must-have for every DS owner, but if you're familiar with the franchise you might want to check this one out.

If you are an One Piece fan and not able to set sail with Ruffy and company on the Wii, you should think about doing so on your 3DS. If you are not an One Piece fan, the at times boring gameplay and technical deficits will not help make you one, though.

If you are just looking for some tough online fights and like the Tekken characters, you can't go wrong. If you want a motivating singleplayer experience, however, consider a different beat'em up.

Reality Fighters is a funny idea, which gives you a great character customisation, augmented reality but also bad graphics and senseless button mashing.

Little Deviants utilizes the full potential of the PS Vita controls and it is also fun to maneuver the squeaky little guys through the levels. Unfortunately, no multiplayer, and it's most definitely just a collection of mini games.

Shinobido for PS Vita is like a mixture of Hitman and Metal Gear Solid for Asia fans, who really love dialogue, character development and a thin but broad storyline about a war in a foreign country. But they will have to live with some AI bugs, repetetive level layout, poor controls and a lack of use of PS Vita features. Acquire could have done better.

Gaining power-ups via Drifting is quite interesting. Nevertheless it´s not so innovative that you could forget all the technical shortcomings as well as the small amount of different racing tracks.

Steel Armor: Blaze of War is not too bad a simulation of tank battles, but has a pretty strange AI.

Quotation forthcoming.

It seems the devs really just adapted the controls and didn't really add anything in terms of content and features.

It's decent, yet I'm somewhat disappointed. It doesn't really use the PS Vita features, might as well have been a PSP game. That, and why does only online play really count?

With the well-known heritage in mind I have to say that Jagged Alliance: Back in Action can't hold a candle to its predecessors. Nonetheless the game is a nice mix of action and a bit of strategy.

If you like zombie comedy like Shaun of the Dead, you can definitely take a look at All Zombies Must Die! - imprecise controls, but tons of humor.

Rather hide in a closet when you see Amy – good ideas alone don't cut it.

Bridge Constructor is a solid simulation, but does not differ from the older Bridge! The Construction Game in any noticable way.

It's a typical hidden object game with no real variety. The mini games are uncreative and disappointing, the conversations boring and unentertaining. If you are a fan of the old school mini games, Eastville Chronicles: The Drama Queen Murder could be of interest for you – otherwise, go for another hidden object game.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars has mediocre graphics and sound effects, a shallow story and an empty multiplayer, but realistic aircraft models.

In the vast number of music games, Karaoke Revolution Glee: Volume 3 is quite presentable and an good sequel of the popular game series.

Despite a solid presentation, Puss in Boots: The Videogame for the Wii never shifts into gear. Sadly, the game pfalls in line with the disappointing movie adaptions of 2011.

Ben 10: Galactic Racing's only unique feature is the Ben 10 setting, but the rest is a typical arcade racer with nothing special. The graphics and sound effects are Wii-grade and the gameplay is not really entertaining.

Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is a game for true paintball aficionados. If you're new to the sport, this is not the place to start.

Puss in Boots is not a core game. Actually, it´s also not really a game in the classic sense, but more of an interactive movie. But in its four hours of playtime, it´s quite pleasing.

This game might be a niche product, but it delivers in parts with 160 puzzle levels. Still, there's lots of wasted potential.

Despite being a solid game, only die hard fans of both the LEGO games and the Harry Potter franchise will have fun playing this otherwise somewhat monotonous game.

If you're really looking for a comparatively peaceful, more realistic hunting simulation, then Hunter's Trophy is your game.

This gets boring really fast. Only young, die-hard franchise fans should give this a try!

A thrilling game that's gotten a bit dusty.

It's a arcade racer with different game modes and a campaign. The campaign has no story or anything like that, the vehicle damage model is pretty bad and the innovative points system is not entirely thought through.
