Kinect Sports: Season Two scores with mostly well-conceived adaptions of the sports, fun mini games and a good atmosphere.

Monte Vista offers more than just a few new items. It is a fully grown add-on that offers a great glimpse at the Italian lifestyle.

All in all, the latest adventures of Spider-Man can be recommended to everyone. The great combination of exploration and fighting is brilliant, and also the atmosphere, the sound and the graphical effects are really convincing. The only disadvantage of the game is the missing multiplayer mode and the annoying mini game.

The co-op mode is really fun and the daily missions are tough, but addictive challenges. A PS Vita must-have.

All in all you'll get nothing especially new, but solid expansions. Old gameplay elements have been combined with new monsters, new spells, new abilities and new items in some new environments.

Unfortunately the camera is still poor, however Team Ninja solved some of the problems of Ninja Gaiden 3 (PS3/Xbox360).

The mix of find all objects on the screen-gameplay and spooky setting develops in a really nice way.

King soccer is back, and the version for Wii is more impressive than ever. Definitely worth a look.

The variety, the daily schedule, the economic factor and especially the discovery engine will capture you again and again until the last island is lifted and you can retire happily.

White Knight Chronicles is an acceptable game. All components fit well into the gameplay and also the story keeps you going. Only the graphics are not up to date and could have been done better. Overall the White Knight persuades.

Avalon Code brings brilliant and fresh ideas, but limits itself to the point where gameplay becomes tedious.

Bit.Trip Complete presents all 6 games of Commander Video. All 6 games are rhythmic, very difficult and highly motivate the player with a "just one more go" feeling. Everybody who wants to make a journey back into the eighties, Bit.Trip Complete is perfect for you.

Cars: Race-O-Rama offers a lot of fun to everybody – doesn’t matter if you are young or not.

A worthy successor. If you like rapid fire without tactics or much of a story, this one is for you. I found it a bit monotonous in the long run – but for a quick session of mindless fun, Serious Sam 3: BFE is perfect.

If you've played the unofficial prequel East India Company, you will also like Commander: Conquest of the Americas. All three core aspects of the game (economy, diplomacy, war) fit perfectly together, motivate you, and convince you to continue to play. Strategy game enthusiasts also should consider buying Commander: Conquest of the Americas.

It's somehow odd: Its style is psychedelic at best, the graphics aren't quite up to date and the fighting's a bit repetitive. Nevertheless, the charme of the game and the great atmosphere make up for that, big time.

For 800 MS-Points you’ll get a quite funny game that especially makes you addicted to the multiplayer mode!

For sure it is not easy for Majesty 2 during the Christmas time against the real blockbusters. I had fun with this game, so you could also try it!

Quantum Conundrum immediately reminds players of Portal, yet it never really matches its charms and humour, but Chell's fans should definitely try this one while waiting for her (possible) return.

Overall, I like this game very much. Sometimes it seems a bit unfair, but what should I say: it is Blood Bowl and you’ll only win, if you play hard and be more unfair than your enemy!

For fans of Star Wars and the 3DS, this is a no-brainer. Actually, its 3D feature is quite good and has to be seen. A lot of humor and a well-told story make this game typically LEGO, and this is recommendable enough.

Dawn of the New World is not as good as the former title, but at least – especially due to the feature, that you are able to catch monsters and send them into battle on your side – a great role playing game on the Wii.

EA DICE presents us a game that comes up with something new concerning the really worn-out issue of war. They have decided to get away from realism und titles like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. The only negative thing about it is that only online-gamers will have long-term fun clinging to this online game.

Forget everything you knew about role playing, Magicka takes you beyond that.

I miss a story or career mode, but on the whole, TrackMania Turbo is a really cool racing-game on the Nintendo DS. Especially fans of TrackMania will have a lot of fun with this one.

Various levels, a well developed game system and much fun for the whole family. It's a casual game that is worth its money and surely tends to be a bit nostalgic.

Madballs in Babo: Invasion is a good game with small problems. The arcade title follows the slogan “simple, but clever”. If you want a little fun and action with your friends, Madballs in Babo: Invasion fits into your arcade collection.

There's a fine line between genius and madness, and Ace Cobat Assault Horizon swings both ways. The action-oriented dogfight mode in jets is brilliant jet simple. Unfortunately, the developers included helicopters as well, and piloting them is tedious. Ace pilots will surely grit their teeth and sit through those mission, though, just to get more of the dogfighting action.

It's a great tactical RPG that ticks all the boxes: Nice graphics, very retro-like sounds and ambient as well as a very thorough battle system. For only 12,99 it's a steal!

Criterion and EA deliver an entertaining online racer that won't go down in genre history as a revolutionary step in the Need for Speed franchise evolution however. A well done online experience saves an otherwise soulless game.

A game that is able to entertain folks, which have never played a videogame before. Sadly, there is no online-multiplayer option implemented.

Shooter fans will like RAGE, but it's lack of story or really innovative elements won't attract new players that didn't love other id games. I hoped for more, guys.

Fight Night: Round 4 is definitively the best boxing-game this year. Also it's a bit to easy to come on top, but it's funny and interesting, especially with two players.

This game is more about upper class food than fast food. For me, it has never been so funny to run a restaurant.

With its wonderfully designed stages, the cool soundtrack, exciting boss fights and comfortable learning curve Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a whole lot of fun - only we missed a co-op mode a little bit.

An amazing game that is as the other games of the Need for Speed series well established. There is always something new you can discover and there are always new cars, which are waiting to be driven.

Monday Night Combat is not the biggest game, but one of the good ones. It's a welcome diversion in the usual shooter pap.

Even though The Next Big Thing seems to have a lot in common with the Runaway trilogy, it is an absolutely great game. What a shame that the puzzles are not always as challenging as you expect them to be.

Still regularly using Wii Fit? You will very likely love EA’s new fitness game, which brings twenty challenges including a motivating two player mode straight into your living room.

The Power of Two has great elements. The cutscenes are pretty and the Disney-feeling with the original voice actors is great. Sadly, Oswald is an annoying gameplay element and sometimes you can't find the next goal in the game. The Power of Two, unfortunately, isn't the great sequel we were waiting for. However it still brings some Disney fun.

Mario and Sonic fans should not hesitate, especially with friends aside you will not want to play some of the thrilling sports games again and again.

You can say whatever you want, but this is a great game. If you can live with some small bugs, you should go into the next store and buy this game.

The Sims 3: Town Life Stuff offers even more for your Sims to wear and do in their spare time.

Crackdown is purely fun without too much work to put into. Just turn on your console and enjoy yourself. That's what the game is all about, and its best reason to buy it as well.

Captain America is back, guaranteeing authentic action combined with exploration and a thin, but nice storyline – with enough challenges attached to motivate players. Nice work for a licensed game.

The biggest problem with F.3.A.R. is the stress on shooter aspects and the small amount of shock effects.

See The Future offers great items, haircuts and even three new dog breeds, but as a game it is quite scanty. In a nutshell it is rather disappointing because some funny innovations can’t compensate for poor mission design.

Cars 2 is a great fun racer with easy tracks and classical weapons. On the flip side, the big turbo works poorly, you have to play the lenghty tutorial no matter what and Cars 2 has an impertinent rubberband AI.

Sometimes a bit simple, Monsters vs Aliens offers a lot of fun especially for the younger generations or for folks that enjoyed the movie. Sadly the humor of the game is only enjoyable, if you haven’t celebrated your twelfth birthday yet.

For NDS owners who don't know the blue hedgehog and for fans of Sonic, the collection offers everything the successful series offers – fast gameplay, classical platformer elements and hidden places all over the levels.

Despite some graphical problems Dragon's Dogma offers a solid action roleplaying experience that excites with a great combat system.

Because of the simple handling, the witty dialogues and the catchy story, the game is interesting for people of all ages.

With an overwhelming amount of possibilities and great new features, Madden NFL 12 is a must-have for all American Football fans.

No good pacing in gameplay, but a funny retro imitation of Lost Vikings.

Don't look at MegaMind – Team Unite as your typical Movie tie-in, but more as an alternative to your usual party game and you might really enjoy it.
