    Captain America: Super Soldier on the 3DS is an experiment gone wrong. With artifically stretches Levels and a monotonous gameplay, it simply grows boring way too fast.

    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.

    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.

    X-Men is a license with tons of potential that goes untapped in X-Men: Destiny. Choices don't really matter, the graphics look quite dated and still don't run smoothly. The boss fights and iconic characters are the saving graces that will still have the title find its way into fans' collections.

    Like real life fishing, the fun in Rapalas Fishing Frenzy depends on the things which you do besides the actual “fishing”. If you aren’t a real fishing fan, the virtual game won’t be able to fascinate you.

    WRC 3, compared to its two predecessors, finally caught up a bit, but still loses against the one year old DiRT 3. Same as SBK Generations, also from Milestone Studio, the game has improved a bit but there are still better and more realistic titles out there. On the one hand the game looks quite good and the damage model is impressive, on the other hand WRC 3 offers poor atmosphere and presentation.

    It was a good idea in 2003 and would've been a visual stunner back then, today, it's a poor attempt at delivering on a good concept. Too many bugs and crashes even months after release. The idea of building your own empire has a certain appeal, though.

    If you compare Air Conflicts-Secret Wars with a game like Blazing Angels it is questionable, if anyone will buy this game. Blazing Angels is better in every single manner. The graphics of Air Conflicts: Secret Wars is not up to date, the sound is mediocre, there is simply no story, the controls are way too simple for a flight game and the enemy AI is a joke.

    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.

    Rogue Warrior, despite its good graphics and sound, is not what you expect from a full-priced game. It‘s too short (5 hours max), the handling is bad (except for the kills in close-combat) and the plot is just plain and stupid. Yawn.

    I’m a little bit disappointed. The controller looks great, but doesn’t work. After a couple of hours you still won’t have the complete control of the board, which makes me a little bit angry. The underdeveloped graphics and the missing story are some further drawbacks to the game. Only the cool soundtrack and the typical skating atmosphere are positive attributes. Overall, you pay a high price for insufficient performance.

    Iron Man 2 is monotone and way too short for a fully priced game and since it lacks a multiplayer mode, there’s no need to touch it again once you beat it. No need to buy this game unless you’re a true hardcore fan of the Iron Man series.
