    For fans of the film, the game is the perfect match. Folks that like action-shooters may be disappointed, because Wanted: Weapon of Fate is too linear and offers too little alternation.

    Sometimes a bit simple, Monsters vs Aliens offers a lot of fun especially for the younger generations or for folks that enjoyed the movie. Sadly the humor of the game is only enjoyable, if you haven’t celebrated your twelfth birthday yet.

    Concerning gameplay, this game won’t be on top, but the fusion of collecting, trading and gaming makes Battleforge unique. Even if you have never played a trading card game in real life, this title won’t disappoint you!

    What is important for a modern shooter? Not only lots of enemies and large levels. It is a fascinating story and a likeable hero. Resistance: Retribution is able to offer that important points. Definitely the best shooter for the PSP!

    Harvest Moon veterans and experienced dungeons crawlers with the will to interact with every NPC will fit right into the world of „Rune Factory Frontier", yet all other friends of this sort of gameplay will find that playing at their own pace gives everyone enough time to learn all there is to know. A true must for fans of somewhat slow, but steady games.

    Rockstar rocks at developing the GTA series for the NDS. Maybe this game is a good reason to buy an NDS. There’s also a warning for teenagers: You’ll hide your NDS, because with Chinatown Wars, your parents will definitely play more than you’ll like.

    What is Zubo? I would describe it as a Pokémon-music game with RPG-motivation, able to entertain not only players of the younger generation. It’s a pity that there is only one slot to save the game.

    Folks that like arcade real-time strategy games, without lots of micromanagement and a well-developed multiplayer-mode will absolutely love this title. Halo Wars is a must-have for a sophisticated games collection.

    On the one hand, the game impresses with a very detailed constructor for characters and the multiplayer-mode, but on the other hand the game has many weaknesses, such as, for example, graphics, but that is probably because of the low storage capacity of the UMD-Discs.

    Miserable graphics, poor sound and a story which isn’t able to fascinate – this game is a no-go. Maybe the king of no-gos. Don’t play this title, it will definitely be wasted time.

    The first of two add-ons form Rockstar satisfies today´s GTA-fan. „The Lost and the Damned“ is not a stand-alone, so you’ll definitely need the main game. It also doesn’t upgrade the main game.

    House of the Dead: Overkill is a game, which will fascinate shooter-fans with lots of gory action and cineastes with good humor and coolness. Sadly, the game seems a bit short with about three hour of playtime.

    Walking, skitching, creating new spots … It seems as if EA has drawn its whole attention to those, admittedly very important things, and so has completely forgotten to offer a new game. For “skate 2” feels, looks and is played just like the prequel.
