The Last Guy is a nice little game, which bears the charm of the late 80ties. And it rocks!

It's the same recipe as in its predecessors: speed, Sonic and style. Although the handling is not exactly great, there's lot to find in Sonic Generations. Variety, challenges and a nice skill system do Sonic justice.

If you liked the first part of the Tales of Monkey Island series, you surely must have The Siege of Spinner Cay. More fun and better gameplay are yours then.

The game is another valuable step for the franchise into the right direction, whereas one thing is crystal clear: Contrary to last year's 'Generations' this entry is less accessible for newbies, fortunately providing this "What happened so far..." section. Thanks to its stunningly presented Story mode Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is not just a simple beat 'em up, in my opinion, it's the best Naruto game currently on the market and a must-have for every Naruto fan out there.

Supreme Commander 2 will especially be appreciated by gamers who are looking for a real challenge. Fighting on multiple fronts, constructing new buildings, recruiting new troops and seeking for new techs you get all at once. Even though the graphics are not top I fully enjoy the game.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is an atmospheric action-adventure without any fighting in it. The creepy sound just thrilled me.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland is a solid platformer for the whole family. The game is pretty easy and offers a lot of things to explore and use (challenges, hidden ways and power ups), but it's definitly not as good as Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Rise of Flight really surprised me. If you like hardcore simulations you will get what you want topped with detailed aircrafts and a great physics engine. If you prefer action you should rather pick IL2 Sturmovic: Birds of Prey.

Dungeon Defenders merges RPG elements with tower defense and action aspects, and that's a good recipe. You'll rarely get so many hours of gaming fun fur such a low price.

Dead Nation is fun for a short while, but only if you're playing it online or in co-op. The shooting stages are not exactly epic and it makes absolutely no difference which character you're playing. What a pity.

I miss a story or career mode, but on the whole, TrackMania Turbo is a really cool racing-game on the Nintendo DS. Especially fans of TrackMania will have a lot of fun with this one.

It's all that we hoped for: many hours of fun, great coop and countless riddles. A high replay value, too, as some side quests aren't even completable without the right character. Rarely has the gaming universe seen a better final part to a series.

Graphical improvements as well as small game play changes make for another great game in the Heroes of Might & Magic series.

Graphics rock: You are able to see every detail of a soldier and if you manage to see an airstrike or an EMP-bomb explosion, the ‘wow-effect’ won’t wear off after the first time.

PES 2009 tremendously raises the level in the genre of football simulations. If Konami had invested more money in official licenses, the game wouldn’t have to fear any challenge.

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.

Tropico 4 has a little more depth than the predecessor in just the right places. If you own a PC, you should consider getting that version instead – mouse beats controller, simple as that. Otherwise: Yes, El Presidente, You should make a bid for power.

Advantage, Sega! If you like tennis and can live with some arcady style gameplay components you can experience a really well cooked PS Vita meal with special controls for the new handheld as well as some delicious minigames.

All in all, Risen is a good game with some bugs, like the fact that the nameless hero is resistant against fire. The controls are simple and graphics are quite nice. Fans of RPGs will like it very much!

This shooter doesn't take itself too seriously and features platformer passages as well. Despite its cute appearance, don't underestimate The Gunstringer: It can be stressful at times.

Dragon`s Dogma is a surprise. The new content and graphics are nice, but not more. The game scores with its good price and with all additional content.

You should keep your head cool to master these hot puzzle challenges – nice graphics and ideas as well as an motivating coop-mode.

The PC Version of The Darkness II is in no way inferior to its console siblings.

Despite an uninspired melee system and a plateauing story ZombiU does a solid job in bringing an old genre to a new console. This is survival horror how it's meant to be.

The story is well told, a lot of variety is to be expected and the sound is pretty good: For me, The Sims Medieval easily is one of the best games in the series, if not the best. If you're in search for a surprise, this game could be just for you.

TERA may not offer enough to dethrone World of Warcraft, but it is a wonderful game with a thrilling story and loads of action. Above all else the combat mechanics are a great innovation.

Hamilton's Great Adventure is far from being a milestone for the video games industry, but, and that's the important thing, it sets a few new standards for the puzzle-genre and has the ability to leave u speechless because it doesn't meets your expectations but outnumbers them! It has a magnificent control system, a great coop-mode, an idyllic atmosphere, great and funny characters and all this wrapped up in a great and lovely told story. So put your hat on your head, grab your spyglass and get ready for a lot of adventurous hours.

Some changes have been made on the graphics and a ten hour epilog was included, which makes the game interesting for newbies as well as fans of the original game. While the storytelling and the gameplay are nice, the graphics aren't as good as in other PS3 RPGs and it's probably a bit to childlike, but all in all Tales of Graces f is a pretty fine remake.

The more than ten year old game is still charming and will attract younger players. Let’s hope Klonoa 2 will hit the Wii as well.

The variety, the daily schedule, the economic factor and especially the discovery engine will capture you again and again until the last island is lifted and you can retire happily.

If you like colors, you will like de Blob 2. Roll around and color your surroundings, so that all the gray fades away. If you're more the goth type of person, you will probably drown Blob in black ink.

Full House Poker isn't your typical online poker game, where you play for tons of money, it's merely that sort of game poker fans who have no interest in playing professionally wish for.

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 is a pretty cool game for all the collecting and training game fans out there. It combines fascinating gameplay with the style and monsters of the Dragon Quest series.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure uses a new peripheral, which looks and works fine, but you have to buy all the other characters, there are no in game unlocks. Still, it's fun to summon new characters by using a peripheral or play local (coop or versus) with friends. Unfortunately, the game offers little freedom, doesn't really make use of the PS3's graphics capabilities and is rather on the easy side (though that may be age-appropriate). All these quibbles aside, the game is simply fun. The story and storytelling are nice and thus you'll keep on playing, forgetting time.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is the best part of the Ace Combat series yet, particularly thanks to the Dogfights.

If you have some resistance against frustration and want a short but intensive trip into the New Super Mario Bros. Universe, you should keep that addition in mind.

If you're looking for an alternative to the classic FIFA big field play and enjoy acrobatic tricks, FIFA Street is a good choice. Likely to really shine not as a replacement for FIFA 12, but as a fun alternative.

The ultimate retro love letter has convinced me to remain in the past. Highly addictive, great allusions towards other games, a perfect presentation and cool gimmicks make 3D Dot Game Heroes to one hell of a must-have for retro fans, even though the engine doesn't handle the lighting very well.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 is far more than just a more of the same. Thanks to many new features and a great Kinect implementation, this game is a fantastic sports game for newbies and pros as well.

Sound and music are spot on – crank up the volume! With Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and its strong atmosphere, the Summer of Arcade once again delivers one of the best Arcade titles of the year.

All in all, Worms 2: Armageddon can only be recommended to all fans of the franchise. It's great fun and really entertaining, especially the multiplayer mode.

Haunted has what it takes: a great story, some intrigueing characters and a touch of innovation on the puzzle level. Unfortunately, logic flaws, too short a duration and an ending that seems too much of a sales pitch for a sequel ruin the overall impression. Could have been great, is merely a touch above average.

Fans of simulations and games like Socom – Confrontation can buy the game without any fears, all others should properly wait for Modern Warfare 2!

Not a simple clone of the first game. There are some major improvements like the graphical effects, the new skills and spells and the setting is darker than in Years 1-4. The co-op mode is damn fun and the typical Lego humor is present. If you like Harry Potter or the Lego games, go out and get the game.

Singularity comes up with a lot of different enemies, weapons and techniques which you can use in connection with your Time Manipulation Device. It's an exciting ego-shooter which also comes up with a good multiplayer part which is a lot of fun.

I expected an awesome desert shooter, but I only got a midclass shooter. There is to much scripting, an environment with few details and nothing special. The multiplayer mode looks fun but over all it's not enough to be a summer highlight.

Quantum Conundrum immediately reminds players of Portal, yet it never really matches its charms and humour, but Chell's fans should definitely try this one while waiting for her (possible) return.

In a world where darkness reigns and the street are engulfed with blood it needs a tough guy like Garcia Hotspur to survive and rescue his loved one. Shadows of the damned is an amazing survival-horror-game with an unique atmosphere and an amazing gameplay.

Not to forget about Johnson, your loyal companion, who guides you through the underworld, always having a good joke on his lips, ensuring a lot of funny moments.

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.

Simple, but addictive, thrilling and yet funny: The only flaw is a missing plot. Great jump'n'run with a scent of puzzle.

Band Hero guarantees great multiplayer fun for fans of music. The game is easy to learn and brings about enough excitement and variation.

It's a lot of fun, easy to play, and great for fans and young gamers alike. Apart from that, there are weaknesses like the camera that gets on your nerves quickly as well as the online mode that isn't implemented.

Tension, entertainment, …. Definitely chocolate for RPG fans. That’s the way role-playing-games should be for the NDS!

LEGO Harry Potter: Year 5-7 is – mainly due to the great coop experience – one of the top Wii releases within the genre in 2011.

Brothers in Arms has come up with a great sequel – at least for people who played the first game. For all others it is hard to follow the story and you should definitely know that you face the peak of the story in Hell’s Highway. Graphics convince, but the sound does not. The gameplay is somewhat linear and there are only a few challenges.

Almost everything in this game fits together: amazing graphics, realistic gameplay and awesome sound! Be aware of the difficult start, it is hard to become used to the handling.

A well-done action-adventure, not only for fans of the Ratchet and Clank-series! Camera acts strange sometimes.

The confusing title hides a solid strategy game. Gamers who enjoy graphics should avoid this game though, strategy fans should play the demo-version before buying Multiwinia.

SEGA shows that Mario and Sonic are always reliable. The game includes nice graphics and an innovative controlling system. So what are you waiting for?

Apart from a few minor flaws like endless continuous or the few levels Deathsmiles Deluxe Edition offers a great gameplay with great controlls and crazy boss-fights. Plus: There are Japanese schoolgirls in it.

All in all I'm not disappointed, the mix of humor, riddles, and story and the coop-mode are entertaining, but I don't like the new, more action-driven gameplay as well as the bad tutorial.

In addition to a great multiplayer experience, Twisted Metal shows that no glossy graphics are needed to make a high-octane game.

It's the same recipe as in its predecessors: speed, Sonic and style. Although the handling is not exactly great, there's lot to find in Sonic Generations. Variety, challenges and a nice skill system do Sonic justice.

Zuma's Revenge, a little frog and shooting balls like a machine gun mix up to a classic match-3 game for all young people and those who want to stay young.

This entertaining and varied sci-fi shooter doesn't break new ground, it is linear and adopts a well-worn shooting and puzzle-solving format.

SingStar-Fans (and you know that there are a lot of them out there) will also be fond of SingStar Vol. 2. A good track list and easy gameplay guarantee lots of fun … especially playing together with your friends!

A real gem for every game collection. We felt greatly entertained by its black humor, its sarcasm and the brutal comic action. The controls which are easy to pick up round out this enjoyable package which is already whetting our appetite for the second installment.

You can say whatever you want, but this is a great game. If you can live with some small bugs, you should go into the next store and buy this game.

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure is certainly for the fans of Professor Layton. Even if the puzzles are of course not as widespread as they are in the big model.

The wide variety of exercises with different stages provides fun and should help to burn calories.

If you are already tired of Halo Reach, try Section 8 – Prejudice. It is a really good alternative and is a lot of fun in the multiplayer mode.

For Fans of Spiderman – or of Marvel-Games in general – Spiderman Shattered Dimensions is a must-have. The perfect combination of puzzles, fights and show-downs with mighty bosses whets the player's appetite.

FIFA Street is a new soccer experience. It's easy to learn but hard to master. You can choose between predefined and self-made play modes and challenge your friends local and online. It's not like the typical FIFA, but it's a lot of fun, too.

All in all, Tetris Party Deluxe is fun because of the simple game principle and the inventive modes.

The unusual style, the well-staged story, a fantastic soundtrack and challenging gameplay assemble to a great Crimson Shroud that may have its flaws but all the more strong points.

Greed Corp may not be the best storytelling game or the game with the biggest amount of buildings and weapons, but the main principle is easy to understand and the fights are always very challenging.

Going through the Hell of Stalingrad in a shooter? Not everyone's thing. There's a few technical issues and it's hard to get into for newbies despite a singleplayer-campaing. Still, if the topic doesn't bother you, and you want realism rather than bouncing ball PvP opponents, Red Orchestra 2 is a good choice.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the best Naruto game. With a well adopted storyline, challenging fights and a lot of playable characters the game has everything a Naruto fan wants to see.

Tom Clancy's End War tries to bring innovation into a gridlocked genre and succeeds! The mixture of new features and old concepts provides lots of entertainment for today’s player.

Aliens: Infestation is a pretty cool 2D open world action game. The graphics and sound effects are up-to-date and the atmosphere is absolutly Aliens-like. There are some issues with the controls and combat system, but all in all, it's one of the best action games on the Nintendo DS this year.

The setting's got potential, after all, a legendary city was the right recipe for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 20 years ago. The game doesn't quite live up to it though. Badly animated characters and worse still, passages where you'd wish for a cutscene rather than a riddle for a better pace in storytelling. A shame, because Lost Chronicles of Zerzura captures the flair of the Renaissance and thus time of the inquisition well. That alone makes it worth a look.

This game is heavily influenced by the likes of Diablo. Average graphics, random dungeons and a massive amount of items are just a few of the borrowed ideas. Nevertheless, aside from the repetitive quests, it's a fairly cool game.

The addictive gameplay should not be underestimated, and three stones are sometimes more than only three stones.

Arkham Origins is essentially just more of the Batman you already know without a lot of new offerings. But despite some small problems the core gameplay, especially the Free Flow-system, is still a lot of fun.
