    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay

    Speed Zone
    Wheelspin is a typical arcade racing game with a lot of speed. But this is nearly the only positive thing to say about this game. The handling is really tricky, graphics and sound effects aren’t up-to-date and there is nothing you could call a story.

    G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
    The bad graphics, the not really spectacular control and the videos that are a bit boring, are making the game unconvincing. Maybe it is better to wait, until the price of the game is worth buying it, but at the moment you should better think twice about it.

    Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
    On the whole, this title is not a burner. One of the main reasons is the boring story about Buck. You can find him in the film, but for real fans, more appearances of the original Ice Age crew would be preferable.

    Battlefield Heroes
    EA DICE presents us a game that comes up with something new concerning the really worn-out issue of war.

    Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
    I have played the Larry Laffer saga since the beginnings and I think if the developments of Leisure Suit Larry games continue in such this way, I already foresee the ending. The special charm with the erotic undertone has totally got lost in Leisure Suit Larry – Box Office Bust. Since Al Lowe leaves the Larry Laffer production, Larry as character isn’t the same again. The jobs become quickly boring, because the typical puzzle and combination tasks are completely missing. The new character does not offer the elegant macho charm, who can twist all ladies around the fingers. Larry Lovage looks clumsy, rude and cheeky.
