I wished for more than five levels, but it is a mini game after all. This title is definitely worth its low price, in fact it is ideal for playing on the go. The difficulty is fairly high, but is much fun too, just a fantastic mix

An adventure shocking like a Stephen King Blockbuster. But it never gets too obvious, the horror elements are all psychological. Great atmosphere, and aside from the slow pace of the game, it works out quite well.

After Burner Climax is an old-school arcade game. Your motivation is high scoring only, and that‘s it. Playing through all levels takes you about 30 to 40 minutes, so don‘t expect too much.

We expected a lot from Monster Hunter Tri, and we didn‘t get disappointed. The setting, graphics, sound and the various multiplayer features are the reasons why this is a highlight of the Wii games line-up this year.

A nice setting and many hints on the German media landscape and known Hollywood movies will entertain you for many hours – if you want. But it is no game to play in between, because the economic planning takes time.

Rig'n'Roll could have become an interesting trucker simulation, but it is very monotonously and the truck-driving is most of the time more boring than fun. The simulation of the own trucker-company gives you a lot of possibilities, like employing some truck-drivers for you company and buying them different trucks to drive with and earn money for you.

Word is you have to use the stylus, and the speed of the game is extremely slow for a Breakout clone. But aside that, it's really easy and you can play a lot of levels. Solid game for low price.

As it is now, The Scourge Project is pretty average overall. AI, the sound effects, graphics and the atmosphere altogether are not really convincing. Good thing is: A patch is said to be released soon.

You wanna feel like a cowboy? Well, Lead and Gold: Gangs of Wild West is a good shot. Its only weaknesses are the classes you can‘t change, and there aren‘t too many players online.

Simple gameplay, incredible game. A nice storyline embedded in a school, featuring futuristic units – if you're into tactics and strategy, don't miss this one. Though, you don't have to save the world in Future Wars.

The idea of little ninja robots is flashy, and thanks to the various maps and game modes it is really nice to play. You will need some time to get used to the gameplay, but then you will have fun.

This game is heavily influenced by the likes of Diablo. Average graphics, random dungeons and a massive amount of items are just a few of the borrowed ideas. Nevertheless, aside from the repetitive quests, it's a fairly cool game.

All in all I can recommend this game to hardcore anime fans. It's a pretty cool game with a deep storyline, nice high-quality cutscenes and a stunning atmosphere. Be aware, if you don't want to click through lots of dialogue, you should keep your hands off this game.

Samurai Showdown Sen isn't the worst game, but since there many other really cool beat 'em ups, it simply can't compete. For example, Super Street Fighter IV has a lot more at stack at nearly the same price.

For gamers who don’t have problems with linearity Prison Break: The Conspiracy offers an interesting adventure. Especially fans of the TV-series will enjoy the story that is based on the first season.

I played this game for hours, and I still can't stop playing. I fought big battles, conquered castles and cities and nearly forgot about the weak graphics. Too sad that it doesn't look better.

WarioWare – Do It Yourself lets you design quick and simple mini games as if you were a real game designer. Its biggest asset is simplicity, but it might also be its biggest flaw.

Big, bigger, Just Cause 2. The Game takes it serious with the open-world theme, you can explore countless villages. But on the other hand the story isn't really a burner. Nonetheless we will spend our next holidays in Panau.

In one way Just Cause 2 really makes me happy. A huge world full of cities, villages and military bases the player is allowed to discover. But on the other side the weak story doesn’t really animate me to play it till the end.

All in all, it's a homogeneous game. Handling, graphics, atmosphere, sound and gameplay are well done, and Red Steel 2 shows off the Wii's capabilities. It's a bit repetitive, but nevertheless: Action fans will like it.

The mix between Pokémon-like gameplay and the movie itself doesn't work out well. Sadly, the developers haven't put much effort into this game, because the potential would have been great.

How to train your dragon meets many stereotypes we know from film conversions. Too little innovation, little variety and little replay value. But who takes care of all this, if the story from Hicks and his friends is told so well and placed in such a colorful world.

It's neat for playing for fun – beat'em up feeling encounters adventure. But the quests and training lessons get boring soon. Fans of the movie can consider buying this one, but the rest should sneak a peek first.

For fans worth a look, but nevertheless, the fighting is getting quickly monotonous and motivation decreases quickly. Even the unlockable, new attacks are not an incentive, as most attacks have similar effects and there is not too much variety.

MotoGP runs fluently, sound greats, offers many gameplay options and provides downloadable content for the new year. There‘s still a few things to do, but the main thing is: This game makes fun.

The goodies are difficult to recognize and the graphics are not even average, but at least the physics are calculated correctly. Fans of Breakout will maybe have some hours of fun with this game.

If you lay an eye on tactics and a game that requires multitasking abilities, you will love "Supreme Commander 2". After a learning phase you will know the fine tactical clues and you will like it.

Perfect Dark lives through its various multiplayer modes and not because of its great graphics. Despite all the cons it is a nice game for a quick round full of action.

The story about the epitaphs plus the open world will not let you stop playing this game. Also it will feed your I-want-to-become-better instinct.

Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is an appropriate ending for such a huge franchise. You get some good old stories and a number of new refreshing features.

In Metro 2033 you will experience high-end graphics and a story that is a little short, but full of shocking moments. Since I played this game I take my flashlight with me when I am traveling around with the tube… you never know what will happen.

My former favorite in this genre Dante's Inferno is defeated. The amazing story and the awesome graphics in God of War III make this game to an epic experience.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a really cool action-adventure with some RPG-, action- and adventure feeling. You’ll get a stunning story with an awesome atmosphere and up-to-date graphics.

Awakening is an awesome expansion to the roleplaying game of the year 2009. New monsters, new companions, new skills, a stunning atmosphere and a really cool story will chain you for a long time to your computer.

Although your character has no voice, this game is really good, especially because of its great story, the nice fights and the system of free choice.

A new chapter in fereldens storybook. New characters, new abilities and a new story combined with a lot of decision making. A BioWare game at its best.

Many players will find here what they've been looking for in Final Fantasy XIII: Freedom. Also the battle system knows how to assure someone of Resonance of Fate.

You can‘t do anything wrong with buying this game. Also it‘s almost the same concept like in the other Pokémon games.

You can‘t do anything wrong with buying this game. Also it‘s almost the same concept like in the other Pokémon games.

It promised to be fun, but it's nothing more than a dull and lengthy risk-game.

Casual gamers will not be very happy with Order of War: Challenge, but people who like to challenge other players in multiplayer battles and spare some more time to optimize their tactics and strategies will have many entertaining hours full of WW2 action.

If you want to get more of the Warhammer 40k story, there is no way around Chaos Rising. Although quite challenging, this game offers good action and story elements.

We like Scrap Metal because we like dirty cars and you get a lot of them in this game. You have to buy this game if you are a fan of this genre. But if not, then wait until it is cheaper. For the ones being not a fan it is not worth 1200 MS-Points.

The good things are: Booster packs won‘t cost you money like it was usual when playing the PS3 version as well as testing your tactical wits against computer and friends was never so much fun. But if you‘re not too much interested in fine-tuning your personal deck, you‘ll find yourself swearing when battling against an opponent that has a deck of this kind. Damn Ouroboros.

It's too bad, there are nearly no positive features in this game. The only horrors are the cheap graphics and the lousy controls. At least most of the riddles are okay.

Final Fantasy XIII is very entertaining even if the borders between the different genres aren’t visible anymore. Not just great graphics, the simple controls and the interesting story motivate me every time to play another hour.

If you liked Shenmue, you will love Yakuza 3.

Final Fantasy XIII does not only offer the best presentation of an RPG on the Xbox 360, it also entertains for many hours because of the great though linear story.

Racket Sports Party might be worth a look if you’re a true tennis aficionado, since it is no better than Wii Sports and isn’t any cheaper either – why not stick to the original?

Toy Soldiers is a must-have for every true Tower Defense fan and since it lets you steer the units yourself you’ll never get bored. Multiplayer and already announced downloadable content will hopefully keep us busy for quite a while.

Bad Company 2 is a great game with fine tactics, but due to some little drawbacks, it cannot throw Modern Warfare 2 off its throne.

The second Bad Company out of the Battlefield series is more entertaining than the first one. The well done story not only justifies the singleplayer mode, it makes it to an important part of the game. The only thing that is a little bit strange is that your character can’t prone.

Silent Hunter 5 – Battle of the Atlantic is an accomplished combination of atmospheric sound, historic background and good graphics. Unfortunately, a lot of bugs are ruining the fun.

Alice in Wonderland is an appropriate game for young and old. You get a cool story, a nice atmosphere and a pretty cool gameplay. All in all, it is an appealing action-adventure.

Only the weak controls are able to frustrate you from time to time, but the presentation of the wonderland itself is really wired and delivers a great atmosphere. Alice in Wonderland is not only enjoyable for kids.

Alice in Wonderland is a surprisingly innovative adventure game with a strong presentation and an entertaining gameplay.

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.

Supreme Commander 2 will especially be appreciated by gamers who are looking for a real challenge. Fighting on multiple fronts, constructing new buildings, recruiting new troops and seeking for new techs you get all at once. Even though the graphics are not top I fully enjoy the game.

For a small amount of money you get so many hours of fun gameplay – thanks to the multiplayer mode and the many scenarios. I can recommend this add-on to everybody who is a fan of the Anno series.

Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 is a challenge for tacticians and for those who want to be this, but not for somebody who has to ask for the way ten times although there is a map available.

Greed Corp will surely be often played in our office, if there is anyone left to challenge me. Especially the multiplayer mode, but also the rest of the game is funny as hell.

You're a fan of logic, trial and error? If yes, you should consider taking a look at echoshift. It's great to play, the first 20 missions are for warming up – and further levels are next to hell's kitchen, so don't expect it to stay casual! Travel through time, but look out for the origami.

For many people Heavy Rain won’t be more than a progression of quick-time-events, but for me this game has everything a great game needs. The thrilling story, the beautiful graphics and the innovative controls will let you play on and on, till you just can’t look any longer into your TV.

Even when the graphics aren’t up to date anymore, Napoleon: Total War is a great add-on to one of the best strategy games ever. Especially the drop in battles is very exciting.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a well-done mixture of racing action and multiplayer fun. For players with preference to colorful, easy-going casual games, this game is a must-have. This game keeps every party from getting boring.

Even if there are better adventures to buy, you should give this one a chance. Mostly acceptable riddles and the good graphics will entertain you for some hours.

With over 250 quests, Risen is a comprehensive game, in which you can follow the story in the order you like. Sad that the developers haven’t drive the hardware up to the limit!

Single players won‘t have much fun with its non-existent tactical depth, while fans of online gameplay will enjoy everlasting hours of joy. A dull solo campaign, but long-lasting experience on the net await you – if you like to play war with friends, get it.

Aliens vs. Predator is gory as hell. Only minor drawbacks such as the missing subtitles in the diary – at least in the German version – impair the atmosphere. The space marines are simply too average like in any arcade shooter, but to hunt as a predator or an alien is very entertaining.

I really enjoyed playing the Predator and the Aliens campaign, because I haven’t experienced that kind of gameplay in any other game yet. Everybody who likes a mix of horror and action should play Aliens vs Predator.

Fighting, struggling, battling – it‘s nothing less than the Dynasty Warriors franchise you already know. No splitscreen, but online-multiplayer instead, you‘ve got your own upgradeable village with shops, but there‘s not more innovation than before.

Normally, games aren’t that awesome, if they are based on movies, but this one does nearly everything right. The fighting system is known from the Final Fantasy series and the story is very exciting.

Some new features and an interesting story make BioShock 2 to a more than equal sequel. It's a pity that there are not many scenes that really take place under water and deliver that feeling of being trapped.

Maybe some recently released games are quite the same (Bayonetta or Darksiders), but none of them entertained me that much. The creepy sound effects, the great graphics and the story make this game to one of my favorites. We will see if God of War III can handle this one.

All in all Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll is a typical Wii game for families without any highlights but quite entertaining gameplay.

If you look for a relatively short, entertaining game, Max and the Magic Marker is the right one for you. Fun gameplay, innovative ideas and loads of options make you replay levels over and over again.

Explore the Zone, find the artifact and evade the bullet. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is back, better than ever before.

Star Trek Online has some strengths, but sadly there have been more negative aspects until now. There is just no diversification.

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.

The main problem about Bermuda Triangle is the difficulty: The first four levels are pretty easy, and the fifth is next to hardcore. Besides that it is a nice puzzle game for everyone.

This game is definitely a simulation that motivates for a long time, so fans won’t something similar with the gameplay.

A considerable number of different weapons and enemies will satisfy the needs of splatter fans. The only motivation is to become the first in the high score list, which is quite difficult.

Toki Tori couldn't motivate me to play it for more than a couple hours. A multiplayer mode like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii would make it a lot more exciting.

Despite its complex tutorial, Puzzle Chronicles is one of the best PSP games out there. Character customization, usable items, companions and sidequests en masse will make you play forever.

Fast Food Panic is a game without story and it does not challenge at all. Graphics and sound effects look and feel outdated. In my point of view, the only assets are the idea to make a fast food cooking game and the complete utilization of the Wii control options.

At least we have an adequate alternative to normal living room football. You also need the same amount of tactics, but simply have more choices! All the stuff you ever wanted to do in a sports game such as doping, corruption and fouls awaits you here. But you really need time to get used to the gameplay. If not, you won't really have fun playing this title.

Role-play at its best. Interactive communications, movie-like staging and visual effects bring down some fireworks on your TV-screen. Who is behind these Collectors and will Shepard be able to encounter the real enemy. You just wanna know.

The graphics, the story and the decisions you have to make, everything signals that Mass Effect 2 is a real great RPG. The only thing I have been angry about was that little, nasty bug. After patching this Mass Effect 2 is possibly a candidate for the Game of the Year award.

Action fans on the Wii really have to buy this game. Trashy, but arrogating fights, a great cell shading look and funny mini games make this bloody tale of revenge to something special.

MAG includes everything a MMOFPS needs. Teamplay-focused gameplay, good graphics and the experience point system should entertain for hours. To people who like to play in smaller groups or definitely like to go on their own I recommend Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Thumbs up, because the price/performance ratio of Bob came in pieces is simply top. Really cool game when it comes to physics, puzzles are embedded in an innovative setting.

The gameplay doesn’t really change during the whole game, but it is really entertaining to hunt the moles from time to time. Thanks to the graphics a quite good casual game.

We thought there would be a little bit more to the jetpack action announced. Surprisingly there is not. The lame story and always the same missions can’t excite for a long time. Dark Void ends up being just an ordinary “shoot and go” title.

I’m disappointed. I thought Dark Void would be a great mix of air and ground action, but there are bugs in it and after a few hours it starts to get boring due to the lame fights. Also the graphics inside buildings aren’t the best.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is an atmospheric action-adventure without any fighting in it. The creepy sound just thrilled me.

An atmospheric masterpiece with many endings and a big amount of goose bumps all over your neck! But be warned, the game lasts for eight hours at maximum – and you‘re going to hate the creepers really soon.

Jambo! Safari – Save the animals is a game based on a nice idea, but it's not exactly brilliant due to basic graphics, sound effects and the fact that you have to do the same things again and again. Better save your money instead of the animals.

Despite decent graphics and some funny game modes, Vancouver 2010 suffers from the complete lack of a career mode, which makes it feel like a mere succession of events, without any progression to be had. Fans of this kind of production will find some good gameplay elements, while players used to bigger and better game dedicated to the single sports should stick to those.
