Having loved the game back in the 90s, I was disappointed with the remake. The graphics could have been a lot better, the multiplayer was great back then but with small, monotonous maps an a dearth of game modes is pretty weak by today's standards Surprisingly, the solo campaign is pretty solid, though the story is shallow. Luckily Daniel Craig lent his original voice and visual appearance to the game, so you can play a cool Bond character.

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.

Explodemon can't speak right (intentionally, that is), but explodes in a much more sophisticated manner. Casual and core gamers alike will love the simplicity of the controls, but don't expect too much variety.

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.

Everybody who likes to dance doesn't have to do it public – with Dance Paradise you can stay at your place. Due to the common presentation and the repetitive dance moves you might get bored quite soon.

Sid Meier's Pirates! is a real cult classic – this hasn't changed a bit. Despite all the bugs and tedious things like sailing east and a missing graphics update since its rerelease, it's still a great game.

A funny hack ’n’ slay game taking place in the fairytale universe – great for beginners and advanced players.

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.

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

A lot of blood and senseless gore. If you like the Happy Tree Friends you will love this game. If not – hands off!

Tennis fans who are looking for fun gameplay rather than pure realism will find this one quite satisfying.

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.

Ghostbusters celebrates its anniversary and brings delightful fun to your living room – if you are a fan.

The game world of Fuel is very large, … but sadly nothing more. The scenery becomes boring after a short time. There are some pros like the assortment of many different vehicles, but on the whole the game lacks soul.

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.

Maybe it is not the most beautiful game, but it holds what it promises. A solid game you can take a closer look at.

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.

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.

With a long campaign, A Game of Thrones: Genesis will captivate fans of the original series in particular. It's not a particularly good-looking game even by strategy standards, though.

Fans of the franchise should check this one out, but RPG fans who can't cope with frustration should consider other games.

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.

The easily accessible gameplay as well as the strong focus on fights will keep fans of Spidey and Co. captured in it's web for a long time.

It’s a pity that nearly every mission is in a way the same, but the game impresses with its graphic so it’s fun to play.

DeathSpank: The Baconing can't quite keep up with it's predecessors. The fresh wind of justice has grown a bit stale with a 'more of the same' stink. Various blemishes can't entirely disfigure the heroic face of justice: it's still a solid game at the core.

Same story, same weaknesses, same strengths, just a different hero than Dead Rising 2. Only recommended for hardcore fans.

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.

Full game with all the fun for half the money. Not the thing for speed freaks, but a great experience for real men who want to fight the forces of nature in a nice SUV.

This game masters all aspects of a good tower defense game and comes along with a lot levels and many items to unlock. Recommendation alert.

It's one of the good sniper games out there, providing hours of fun. The low price suggests a good bargain, which it is, but just don't expect a premium title.

Armada 2526: Supernova does not reinvent the wheel. Unfortunately, the add-on shows the same weaknesses as the vanilla version. Nevertheless, fans will enjoy the new races, techs and unique planet features.

Need for Speed: Nitro entertains people who like arcade-racers. Core-gamers will be very disappointed.

This game is also a hint for beginners as for pros. The items and tracks are actually like those in Mario Kart and the characters out of the Hercules cartoon. A good copy is better than a bad original, right?

Dynasty Warriors 7 is exactly what fans expect. Nothing more nor less.

What goes around, comes around: It wasn't the best idea to implement an outstanding intro just in front of the mediocre game graphics. Camera, handling and repetitive gameplay are weak points, but nevertheless it seems to be the best Transformers game in ages.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

It's Mahjongg, but pretty cool. Nice graphics, a very balanced sound, simple handling and the important Undo wait for you. But there's one weakness as well: Sometimes one just can't activate stones. That's frustrating.

Lost Planet 2 is a nice game, with cool graphics and a sound gameplay. However, it's not as gripping as I expected it to be and thus wasn't thoroughly convincing.

You want to play a game? If you can stand having Jigsaw in your living room, this is your best shot. Fans will be pleased with Saw II, even though it is really dark and the handling isn't perfect.

You expect pure demolition and you get it. There are some multiplayer modes, and unlockable stages and goodies in the career mode which is pretty entertaining. On the other side, however, the controls and the graphics aren't quite perfect.

If you are a paintball fan, you should definitely take a look at this game. It´s all about strategy, but not pure action.

Success in Michael Phelps – Push the Limit really depends on proper pacing like it would in real sports – brilliant! Unfortunately, nothing else in the game is anywhere near as brilliant. Various shortcomings really hamper the overall impression, but for swimming fans, it's worth a look thanks to the well-done pacing feature alone.

Solid yet short-lived racer that's fun at parties. Fans of the genre should pick this one up.

A nice game for youngsters that own a Nintendo DS! For grown ups this game offers no challenge or enough variety to stay with MySims Party.

Although Kung Fu Panda 2 is a nice breeze of fresh air for the widely overlooked genre of the turned-based RPGs, the top dogs such as Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy don't have anything to fear.

An interesting new form of the Lemmings gameplay, but not interesting enough to keep me focused for more than half an hour. If it weren't for the ranking, I would not collect many points.

A nice dart arcade game not only for fans. Some variety is cool as well as graphics and sound. A solid mini for everyone and that's for a nice price.

If four players do a round of You're in the Movies, a round will take approx. 30 minutes of time. It is an entertaining game, but there are some technical problems concerning shadows, light and distance. Another problem is that the mini games get boring after a short time.

Grease is definitely not the single player hit in recent decades. But especially when played in multiplayer mode, the game is real fun.

It's not the best Splinter Cell game, but fans of the genre can't make anything wrong with Splinter Cell 3D. The missing multiplayer modes and the small amount of missions are its biggest drawbacks.

After the first chapter, the story really starts to suck you in, but the gameplay is too repetitive for being entertaining a long time.

If you are looking for an new game without extreme violence, Zhu Zhu Pets: Kung Zhu is the right game for you.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is a solid jump'n'run-shooter with nice retro flair and sophisticated audio tracks. Core gamers will be attracted, so it's definitely worth giving it a try.

All in all I have to say arcade-racing fans should take a look at Driver: Renegade 3D. The game is funny, challenging and a real arcade-racing game with a lot of content and pretty cool comic style scenes.

On the whole only the story and the familiar characters will motivate you to play the game. If you are familiar with the Blue Dragon story, this title is entertaining.

Spare Parts actually is a 2D jump'n'run with an additional third dimension. The bad camera work spoils the whole fun and the coop mode. Apart from that, the atmosphere, sound and gameplay are pretty well done and also proper for younger gamers.

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

Generally, Lionheart Kings' Crusade is a nice game; however, it lacks strategy and action in the battles.

A solid strategy game for exciting hours in a historical context.

Not as good as the versions for the “big” consoles, but at least funny enough for a quick match against a buddy.

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

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

This game will satisfy the wishes of strategy fans, but isn’t able to recruit new folks for the genre. The concept of the game isn’t innovative enough to fascinate.

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.

The PSP-version of Echochrome“offers more than the one on PS3. If you have both platforms at home and logical thinking amuses you, try the PSP-Version, rather than loading down the PS3-game.

Phantasy Star Zero is the perfect RPG for newbies in this genre, but also the fans of this series will have a lot of fun with it. The only thing you'll miss are good graphics. So please, SEGA, notice this for the next part of Phantasy Star.

The game is situated in an interesting genre, but isn’t able to satisfy the needs of the user. Sometimes, it is too obvious that the game was designed for the Asian market.

The ingredients of Arcana Heart 3 are a lot of cool girls, different fighting styles, arcane powers and, unfortunately, rather poor graphics.

Interesting idea, this mix of space shooter, RPG and a hint of trade, which promises over 40 hours of gameplay. Some weak points though, with lacking explanations for controls and too small screen fonts being the most annoying. To wit, the story isn't that original and illogical at times. Can't compare to the Summer of Arcade's top titles, but at this price, if the genre mix appeals to you, it's still a good buy.

DarkStar One: Broken Alliance is a solid adventure that brings due to a lot of side missions quite a long game time to you and is fun as a space-shooter. But the bad presentation drops the mood several levels.

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.

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.

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.

The storyline has an exciting pick-up: A chase through one of the districts of Tri-City next to the gold coast. With the cops in the back it seems to be very obvious that this states the beginning of a career as a criminal racer.

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.

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.

Katamari Forever is not really a bad game. But there are so many little mistakes and frustrating moments in it that it is not more than a nice idea.

Big Mistake from the developers to create an add-on, witch is nothing like the main game!

Bleach is an amazing Manga and Anime with a massive story and very deep characters that don't quite fitinto a hack'n'slay game. Nonetheless, Bleach: Soul Resurreccion is a solid game with nice graphics, amazingly fluid controls and is great fun to play.

Being a colourful and thoughtful title the new Crash game will catch the attention of many youngsters. Parents will appreciate that. Action- and shooter-fans should back off though. The concept of the game has basically not changed, but great innovations have been realized (next-gen-ready!). After only ten hours the fun is over.

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?

Sometimes you have to wait because of loading times. But except for that, you will enjoy the action in cool space battles.

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.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Griptonite produced a solid jump'n run game with the most popular Ogre in the world. Shrek forever after is for everybody who loves the movie and wants to play the adventure again.

Gloomy dungeons, contorted medieval alleys plus a felicitous soundtrack.

All in all, Samurai Warriors 3 is a typical hack-and-slay game with unique characters and stories. The graphics and sound effects are really neat, but the missing variety and the bad minimap are lowering the score.

It would have been great if there had been a story and a greater variety concerning the quests. The well-made battles with many different weapons and troops are the only reasons for continuing playing.

Apart from the synchronization, you really get an innovative and fun game.

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.

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.

In medieval Europe of the 17th century Heinrich and Gretchen unleash a veritable destructiveness. Alltogether, an entertaining action-adventure.

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.

Aside from a few weak points such as thin story and poor multiplayer, Men of War: Vietnam promises thrilling hours raiding Cambodia and Laos or fighting on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the Mekongdelta.

Never before has retro been that modern. We love to play all the tricky levels with all the flashy lights in full HD.

Lovely animated monsters and many different adventures will entertain for some hours – especially kids. The story as well as the different parts of the island that wait to be discovered will not allow you to get bored.

ClaDun x2 offers no improvements over to its predecessor. Though some of the graphics will probably remind you of real classics like Secret Of Mana or Zelda, the game isn't in their league. The story is the most boring since Pacman and sound track is nothing special. The gameplay though is well done and very extensive, but you will miss a good turtorial explaining it all. The freedom of the game in character design is great, too, as are the controls. Who likes monotone dungeon-crawling will like this game, but real RPG fans won't.
