    It‘s not perfect, but we like it. The spirit of Marvel comics has come to life and whether you bully your way through like Hulk or fly around like Silver Surfer, there will always be a way for you to kick some ass.

    FIFA 10 feels like the old days - it‘s remarkable without giving reasons to hype about the game. Graphics are nice, sounds and comments are pretty bad, and if it weren't for a great Be A Pro and Manager Mode, it‘d just be another average soccer game.

    Machinarium is a great, sweet, charming game. Period. Yep, sometimes, it's too difficult, but the idea of the built-in walkthrough is awesome, you'll understand every emotion and hint without having to read a single word, and it's starring a robot. Yeah.

    I’m really disappointed from Summer Athletics 2009. Some disciplines aren’t playable on the keyboard. Also the missing online mode and the bad atmosphere are some more disadvantages from the title. The only advantages of Summer Athletics 2009 are the varying 28 disciplines and the career mode.
