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.

Surprisingly, Nintendo did it again. Despite the almost saturated mini games market we have found new gameplay mechanics in Wii Party, and the low price for the game plus controller is almost ridiculous.

This game has a lot of good features like its great Move support, big scaled action and different combat styles. Strange evading and moving just don't seem to fit in.

If you want to do something for your personal fitness level, Mel B can help you a lot. One problem occurring is that PlayStation Move is easily tricked, hence you're led to cheat. Maybe Kinect can do better?

Monopoly Streets is a nice digital version of the popular game, but it does not prompt the same feelings as playing the brick and mortar boardgame with your friends.

It's Rock Band as usual, but its newly implemented Pro Mode shows that people who have been unchallenged so far can have their share of fun. Bundled with a whopping 2000 songs waiting for you optionally, this game could be worth a sin.

FIFA 11 is a pretty cool soccer simulation on the Nintendo DS with a lot of content to explore and a huge amount of leagues, modes and teams.

Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light is a nice sequel of the Final Fantasy series with well developed characters, a good story mode with many twists and turns and love for detail.

There's light and shadow within Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland. While the presentation as well as the fighting system are a good approach for children, the alchemy system is hard as a rock. WTF dialogue accompanies the game, and so it's not worth a recommendation.

It's been a long time, but this one's a really good point and click adventure. Fans of the genre shouldn't miss it.

Rapala Pro Bass Fishing is a fun and cool game with a lot of nice features like the fish-o-pedia, some challenges, unlockable goodies, and much more.

This game finally leads Need for Speed back to where it should be. It's very addictive and rewarding.

GoldenEye and Daniel Craig have made it to the next generation of consoles. Good graphics, old-school, but improved gameplay, and the famous splitscreen make this title to everyone's darling.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a really good racing game with great graphics and gameplay. The only flaw is that there is no opportunity to tune your car like in Need for Speed Underground 2.

The tactical complexity in the fighting is much higher than in other games of the genre and wild button pushing will not take you any further.

Most players will not play all the games through, but at least half of them is really fun.

Ion Assault is an arcade space shooter that has not really a lot in common with the typical arcade shooter. The beautiful art and level design is the best special feature in this game while the sound settings are really weak.

If you're into console music gaming, DJ Hero 2 is definitely your game. Beginners will appreciate the great tutorials and the good playability.

I just hoped for more: more variety, more motivation, but less waiting time between the levels. Other than that the game delivers high score-hunting at its best.

Due to its underdeveloped graphics and bad controls, the only real challenge of this game is to keep your shirt dry, because you will sweat a lot.

In my opinion, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit revitalizes the series with regards to old virtues. The arcade steering keeps you up with fast paced race action.

Well, it's just the first three adventures of Sly, but in HD. Nothing new or exciting is implemented, but it's Sly quality nevertheless.

The developers of the Wii version have done a good job! Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a cool action adventure with a good balance of fighting, mini games, and dexterity.

Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow is a pretty cool action RPG with a long storyline (about 25 hours), challenging boss fights, multiplayer modes, a nice atmosphere and a self-made character.

Sniper Elite is a really cool Third Person action game on the Nintendo Wii. The game convinces with an authentic setting, cool graphics and sound effects and a nice 2-player-co-op mode. Unfortunately, the bad controls diminish the fun.

Dead Nation is fun for a short while, but only if you're playing it online or in co-op. The shooting stages are not exactly epic and it makes absolutely no difference which character you're playing. What a pity.

ArcaniA: Gothic IV won't revolutionize the genre, because it relies too much on what's already established – but therefore it provides a successful overall gaming experience.

Splatterhouse isn't necessarily a bad game – fighting and controls work, yet it lacks things to make it memorable compared to other big titles in the genre. Limitless gore and a mysterious mask that comments on every single encounter just aren't enough to make a great game. If this setting appeals to you, though, you can safely check it out.

Basically, Def Jam RapStar is a successful spin-off of the ageing music game genre.

It's always the same. Games that accompany movies still feel like they were thrown on the market without being finished. The good story of TRON: Evolution isn't enough to make up for the bad graphics and controls.

The trip to Vietnam leaves us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the add-on keeps the high standard of the main game, but on the other hand, there are not many new things. Despite the few vehicles and minor changes in the weapon section, there isn't much new to discover.

For a Nintendo DS game, this title has much to offer and persuades with the usual charm of James Bond.

Right next to Medal of Honor, this one's struggling to be your action game of the year. It's more suited for veterans than for beginners, and the ending smells roughly like DLC. Nevertheless, great game!

Dear developers, follow DragonballZ: Budokai 3's example and try to design a game, which is able to hold a candle to the last-mentioned. This will probably increase the sales as well as the number of the fans of the series.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 doesn't live up to the expectations. The graphics are stunning, but the story as well as the atmosphere are disappointing and do not justify a fully priced game. Still, it's a must have for true Star Wars fans.

As a computer game, Monopoly can't keep up the pace. Since you don't have actual dices in your hands, you also can't get any feelings out of the game.

Sadly, Create gets boring very soon, and isn't creative at all. There are only a few challenges which are fun – the rest of them are tedious.

What we get here is a nice game, but it's only interesting for people who don't actually play a lot. Casual and core gamers as well will be left unchallenged.

It's cute, its mini games are okay at best, but if you're planning to play it longer, it just can't deliver. Only recommendable for young kids.

The world of dreams has been expanded, no, it has been reinvented. Feedback from the community has been implemented, no more hassle with the handling, the mightiest level editor you've ever seen, useful enhancements like the grapplehook and much more make this a worthy successor to LittleBigPlanet. And it's a reason to buy a PS3, too.

Apache: Air Assault is the first helicopter flight-simulation for Xbox360 and PS3. IL-2 Sturmovik: Wings of Prey developer Gaijin Entertainment proved themselves by creating a game with real-life looking Apaches, realistic controls and beautiful graphics.

Lego Universe may be the wrong game for hardcore- or for experienced gamers, but it's definitely a great MMORPG, which provides younger gamers with a great gaming experience.

Blacklight: Tango Down provides everything that a modern game has to offer, but for a small prize. The extensiveness of the game consisting of 12 maps, the online mode in which you can play with up to 15 others, and the easily understandable levels system with 70 levels ensure numerous entertaining hours of playing.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II can't get quite past its predecessor in terms of gameplay, atmosphere, plot and combat. No freedom for exploration is granted, the story is pretty lame, and so we're still waiting for a great Star Wars game.

Get active with EA Sports Active 2! Hard workout with some control hick-ups, yet among the Wii fitness games it gets your power and stamina up the fastest. And it's still cheaper than going to the gym.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is an awesome game with an incredible action-packed singleplayer and a great multiplayer. Although there have been no groundbreaking innovations compared to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it is still recommendable.

The game is rather disappointing, because the sound, the atmosphere, and the controls are, to put it bluntly, just really bad.

In the world of Global Agenda it's your turn to help the agency to fight the regime of terror: unit with the thousands of other agents and defeat the enemy in various multiplayer battles. And as long as you keep playing the game in multiplayer-mode, it's quite entertaining – but nothing more.

The game menu likely was created by a fully fledged sadist, and even worse, the handling of the game creates an immersive halo effect of fail. This game could have been so much been better, but it isn't. Hands off!

"What is this place?", "Why is this place?" seems to be the question here. Why does this game exist? It's not outstandingly beautiful or thrilling. It's not outstanding in any way. If you dig the style, check it out – if not, you won't miss much investing your Microsoft points elsewhere.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a really good racing-game on the Nintendo Wii. It convinces with the typical NfS-feeling, a 4-player-splitscreen-mode, and a lot of different cars.

Everybody who is looking for a real fishing game will have a good time with this one; but if you are not into fishing, the game is kind of boring.

Call of Duty: Black Ops was implemented really well to the handheld. The game convinces with a lot of good features like the zombie-mode or the multiplayer possibilities.

Some major failures in terms of handling can bug you quite a bit, but generally EA Sports Active 2 is a solid game. If you're interested in workout and you've got the space for it, check it out.

The game did improve since the preview version, but there's still plenty to do: Too much menus when you're up to put the ball into the hole, no option to alter Move's sensitivity. Still, the game's worth a look for hardcore fans.

Hearts of Iron III: Semper Fi is a nice add-on for a very complicated game.

It is a great simulator. If you're into trains, there's a lot to build, but some bugs and graphical weaknesses lower the fun.

Featuring an open gameplay, fans will like the new features and oversee the technical disaster.

Kratos' appearance on the PSP is a blast. Its epicness is unparalleled as well as the graphics, but some weaknesses like invisible walls hurt the almost invincible Kratos.

If you always wanted to try a zombie game, in which tactics are more crucial than action, you should play Trapped Dead.

Everybody who is looking for a real fishing game will find it with this one. The average gamer, however, will find it exhausting, repetitive and boring.

On the whole, it's a good collection for all the Super Mario fans in this planet.

The new Golden Sun is a nice sequel, but there is nothing special or unique in this game.

echochrome II is not perfect, but it has the ability to make everyone smile, regardless of their age or devotion to console games. Move is a perfect enhancement of the echochrome series, so check this one out.

Winx Club: Rockstars is a cool Nintendo DS game, especially for the fans of the franchise.

If you're looking for a challenge, look no further. Prinny is here, and it will show you the borders of human self-control. A well-balanced platformer with great jokes and lines, massive boss fights. And, well, it has got Prinnies as well. Dood.

Quotation forthcoming.

Marvel: Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet is, on the whole, not a really entertaining game. The singleplayer mode isn't exactly good and the graphical effects aren't up-to-date.

Game Party: In Motion is a nice game for Xbox 360 and Kinect, which is great fun when played in multiplayer mode.

If Street Fighter IV offers you too little tactics, then BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is exactly your game.

Rulers of Nations gives you the opportunity to rule one out of 170 countries. No matter what you do, always listen to the people and your ministers. Or fire them! Unfortunately, this game has too much possible course of actions, which makes it pretty confusing.

If you (and we mean it for real) really want to engage in a basketball-game, you will hardly find another sports game that comes even close to NBA 2K11.

The Pac-Man recipe strikes again. It's a must-buy for true fans of wokka-wokka-wokka.

If you spend some time learning how to fly the Apache in the realistic mode, the game provides you with some very entertaining hours.

If you always dreamt about navigating a helicopter once in your life, then Apache Air Assault is a must-have. The detailed graphics and awesome atmosphere provide almost endless motivation.

Saw 2 - Flesh and Blood is perhaps a game for true fans, but even they will not be happy with the title. Dreary gameplay and the lack of challenge are not a perfect combination.

Simply put, it is World of Warcraft 2.0. Everything seems to fit in: overhauled graphics, new landscapes, additional quests. Thanks, Blizzard.

Bad implemented control, but nice tracks and cool characters. Unfortunately, the game is more exhausting than entertaining.

Blimp: The Flying Adventures is a kind of its own: It's an innovative and inspired port form the iPhone version in combination with elements of UGH! and Crazy Taxi. A must-have for every Minis-fan!

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.

Workout at home? Who needs a video game to tell you when and how to make sit-ups and the like? In front of my TV I'll prefer staying on the couch.

A collection of five arcade evergreens in a new look. I've given them a try and got addicted. But: The collection is just a snack for in-between, not much more.

Pac Man Party is one of the big surprises of the Wii mini games collection this year. It offers you a lot of game modes and an entertaining gameplay.

The tracking is okay, but the track list has been chosen with a lot of courage. Players with a liking for dancing should get Dance Central, but if you're into the reflex-focused gaming like DDR, try Dance Evolution.

If you like variety, you will certainly enjoy playing some games more than once.

The game can only be recommended to hardcore fighting game fans. There isn't enough variety to keep the average player in front of the PS3.

Split/Second Velocity is not for the faint of heart. Fans of racing games will love this one, because it's different from its competitors.

It's a new setting paired within a nice presentation. You'll need dexterity, timing and reaction to unlock all the levels and master the game.

The singleplayer is fun and narrated in thrilling manner, but it's simply too short. The online multiplayer is great and features a pretty big variety, so this is a recommendation to everyone who does not mind playing online.

A lame and not really challenging story combined with repetitive levels and replaceable characters are the key elements of Quantum Theory.

If you are looking for a really good role playing game, that keeps up with a straight but good story, you will find it in Two Worlds II. Your character can live through a lot of customization and the world is rich of 70 hours of action-role playing with more than 300 quests.
