Quotation forthcoming.

A lovely interactive story that enchants with funny dialogues and profound backgound.

A wonderful soundtrack, interesting cutscenes, fast fights full of action and the caring of the spirits entertain for quite a long time.

Not as good as the versions for the “big” consoles, but at least funny enough for a quick match against a buddy.

A considerable number of different weapons and enemies will satisfy the needs of splatter fans. The only motivation is to become the first in the high score list, which is quite difficult.

Gyromancer is an addictive puzzle game, yet the setting might feel a little stale.

After a pause, Lara is back and is searching for antiqu relics in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea, and she discovers a mystic glove, which makes it possible to use the hammer of the Norse god Thor. TRU promised more than we get.

If you are fond of strategy games, there’s no risk in buying this title. The handling for the PS3 is very well done, but the humor is a bit strange, sometimes.

Alma would be a little disappointed if she played F.3.A.R.. The game has lost a lot of his mystic atmosphere and the horror parts have been removed by shooter parts. But the original horror was the essence that had made the predecessors so unique and outstanding. The coop-mode is amazing though.

The horror shooter and Nintendo DS mix is really amazing. You'll get a great shooter with nice graphics, a stunning atmosphere and a lot of action.

It is a nice and solid remake of a good game in an amazing series. The graphics may be a bit disappointing and the story takes a little to really take off, but then the game is simply fantastic. RPG fans will fall in love with the great story and its orchestration. Though not as good as its successor, Persona 2 has a unique game play, including the spreading of rumors and negotiation with demons, and a great variety of personas to be summoned. If you love classic RPGs, you should order the game today and dive into the world of Sumaru City.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a well-done mixture of racing action and multiplayer fun. For players with preference to colorful, easy-going casual games, this game is a must-have. This game keeps every party from getting boring.

Maybe some recently released games are quite the same (Bayonetta or Darksiders), but none of them entertained me that much. The creepy sound effects, the great graphics and the story make this game to one of my favorites. We will see if God of War III can handle this one.

The story about the epitaphs plus the open world will not let you stop playing this game. Also it will feed your I-want-to-become-better instinct.

Medal of Honor is, simply put, a fine shooter which catapults you right into the action you're searching for. The story is good enough to keep you playing, so it's definitely worth a look.

It's the good old Bejeweled 3 as box version for the NDS. There is nothing special and so the price is a bit too high from my point of view, because the PS3, PC and X360 versions are cheaper and include Zuma and Peggle as bonusgames.

True wrestling fans – especially those of both generations – will certainly not miss WWE All Stars.

A must-have for fans of the Magic universe and those to be.

If you are looking for a really good role playing game, that keeps up with a straight but good story, you will find it in Two Worlds II. Your character can live through a lot of customization and the world is rich of 70 hours of action-role playing with more than 300 quests.

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.

Just because House of the Dead: Overkill is brutal, that doesn't necessarily mean it's not funny. For those who want challenge, not just flair, there's the crazy Director's Cut mode. Recommended for every B-movie fan, provided they don't have the Wii version.

The former rally franchise presents itself as a great mix of Destruction Derby and high speed action racing. A strong single player combined with an extensive online experience garantuees great varied fun.

Quotation forthcoming.

Ice Age 3 is a really good game from a nice movie. Just try it, if you want a funny jump’n’run.

Game mechanics offer not enough variation to pin me to my pad. For 1200 MS Points a game simply has to offer more.

If you ever wondered how life would be when working within the Mafia, Mafia II is probably your best shot. Stunning story, great sound, cool videos and much variety in the missions show off what a shooter can be.

Transformers: War for Cybertron is an exciting game which allows you to experience the time before the films as one of three Decepticons or Autobots. You take part as an important member of Decepticons or Autobots and have to destroy a lot of Transformers shooting at them or hitting them with your melee weapon.

From the beginning, The Maw convinces with lots of charm and will definitely tie you to the screen. Sad enough, the motivation to play the game again, is not very high.

The loose controls and the lack of a story doesn't really matter next to the humor and fun of Raskulls, especially when you play with your friends on- or offline. A demo is available, too.

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!

It could have been something really big, but the remake of the good old Syndicate from 1993 is just a solid FPS. The storytelling is not stunning, the missing freedom and some technical issues drag down the overall impression. It's a quite solid game, but nothing more.

The Night of the Rabbit is a solid and magical adventure that can be enjoyed by both younger and older players. Even though younger ones need a little bit more patience than adventure-veterans.

The game is definitely a solid exponent of the Naruto-series on the PS3, although some fans will be disappointed because of the disdainful synchro. On the whole, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm combines adventure-elements with thrilling combat-action.

Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale is for sure the best fun-brawler yet.

All in all I can recommend this game to hardcore anime fans. It's a pretty cool game with a deep storyline, nice high-quality cutscenes and a stunning atmosphere. Be aware, if you don't want to click through lots of dialogue, you should keep your hands off this game.

Its main features are the high frame rate and the massive amount of brutality. Nevertheless, Shank is worth the low price and fun for at least some evenings.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is another epic video game by Square Enix and Disney and brings informative insight into Roxas' story and Organization XII. Every Kingdom Hearts fan needs to have it. If you're not a fan, but still interested, get yourself a copy of one of the older games and start playing the epic adventure.

Fans of the series as well as lovers of open-world jump 'n runs will be completely happy with this worthy successor. The harmonious comic style, the variety of playable characters and the many different missions contribute to a game which is just slightly let down by a certain repetitiveness in gameplay.

Overall, I could recognize some regress concerning Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. The handling has become trickier and although Konami bought the licenses for the names of the players and teams, this list does not contain all names or the right ones.

An adventure shocking like a Stephen King Blockbuster. But it never gets too obvious, the horror elements are all psychological. Great atmosphere, and aside from the slow pace of the game, it works out quite well.

You're a fan of logic, trial and error? If yes, you should consider taking a look at echoshift. It's great to play, the first 20 missions are for warming up – and further levels are next to hell's kitchen, so don't expect it to stay casual! Travel through time, but look out for the origami.

Even though The Next Big Thing seems to have a lot in common with the Runaway trilogy, it is an absolutely great game. What a shame that the puzzles are not always as challenging as you expect them to be.

As a single player, you won't get much out of Green Day: Rock Band. The career mode isn't nearly as excessive as it was in The Beatles: Rock Band, and so it's just another great multiplayer game.

Deep Silver and Daedalic Entertainment have done a great job in not trying to bring the pen & paper gameplay to the PC, but choosing the way of the adventure. Subsequently The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav is more like an interactive novel – a good one for that matter.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a fast racing game for casual players and fans of the Burnout series.

A lot of jumping and a repetitive gameplay does not make only Alice go crazy.

Overall Spider Man: Dimensions is a pretty cool game for Nintendo's Wii. Even if the bad control lowers the score, the entertaining HQ videos and the cool graphics convince.

Finally, I can say that Stronghold was implemented very well for this MMO, and I eagerly await the final version. But we should not forget that Stronghold was released back then in the year 2001.

The way the story of the Ninja Naruto develops seems to be very appealing and sophisticated. Suitable for both, Naruto-veterans and –newbies!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is really funny and challenging. There are some challenges and some boss fights combined with 2D-jump'n'run action. You'll fight against some bad guys with Batman and some of his friends like Green Arrow, Red Tornado and many more.

There are some improvements compared to the prequel and racing atmosphere is guaranteed.

ClaDun x2 offers no improvements over to its predecessor. Though some of the graphics will probably remind you of real classics like Secret Of Mana or Zelda, the game isn't in their league. The story is the most boring since Pacman and sound track is nothing special. The gameplay though is well done and very extensive, but you will miss a good turtorial explaining it all. The freedom of the game in character design is great, too, as are the controls. Who likes monotone dungeon-crawling will like this game, but real RPG fans won't.

Like no other game Prototype 2 grants the player an enormous amount of power. Yes, the story might not be the finest and yes, the graphics seem a little outdated at times, but nonetheless this game offers a great deal of fun and action.

The campaign is not very fascinating, the enemies aren’t offering any challenges and the game handling on the PC is just horrible.

Red Faction: Armageddon offers a new destruction-engine, cool weapons and some entertaining missions.

In comparison with other add-ons, Ambitions is really well made and integrates real gameplay treats for you. The only missing thing about The Sims is the multiplayer, so please, EA, think about it.

Medal of Honor leaves you with a shallow taste. On the one hand, it's a very good and intense game, but on the other hand, there are so many elements you've already seen in other shooters. Moreover, the graphics really could have been much better.

Patapon 3 belongs to an array of games which changed the world a little bit. It's insanely addictive, training your Patapons will consume your time completely, and there's nothing more to add than a recommendation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops was implemented really well to the handheld. The game convinces with a lot of good features like the zombie-mode or the multiplayer possibilities.

A Vampyre Story is a humorous adventure, which provides many difficult mysteries and a lot of fun. The voice of the character Mona is very annoying in the German version, so install the English one.

There's bound to be better action games out there, but this one is the best game featuring the Spider-Man franchise. A bit repetitive, but nevertheless a solid experience without major flaws.

This is not Resident Evil anymore – only the herbs and the well-known characters hold the connection to the first games of the franchise. It's a high speed action game with no real horror-elements and some weak points like the linearity, logical gaps and the scripted gameplay. On the other side the coop-mode (locally and online) and the cinematic storytelling are really cool. Resident Evil 6 is a cool action game but not a survival horror game anymore.

I haven’t had that many fun for a long time. The fat princess shows how a great strategy game has to work.

Many players will find here what they've been looking for in Final Fantasy XIII: Freedom. Also the battle system knows how to assure someone of Resonance of Fate.

Fighting, action, shooting – that's Warhammer 40k: Space Marine in a nutshell. Thanks to the great presentation and credible story along with the characters that Relic has created in collaboration with Games Workshop, this action title is captivating from the start.

This is an amazing shooter with a great and enthralling story and good graphics. Though the voice controls are problematic at times, they are fun and a refreshing alternative to the average TPS. The only big issue is the mediocre multiplayer. The great mixture of the post-apocalyptic Tokio and the futuristic city above combined with the synthetic enemies guarantee an absorbing atmosphere. Great game!

The backgrund ist literally junk, the game Deponia however the exact opposite. A brilliantly absurd story, a fitting comic style and strong speakers. Okay, it's a bit old school in temrs of bunkering stuff in your inventory – but from an in-world perspective, it makes sense: if it's not dross, keep it (like Roger Wilco did in Space Quest 3). After Harvey's New Eyes, Daedalic offers up yet another wonderfully bizarre adventure.

The game offers a good coop multiplayer mode, but graphics and sound effects are simply disappointing. Fans of the Marvel universe can take a look, but everyone else should keep his or her hands off.

No online content for the German PC version. That sucks.

Cars 2 is a great fun racer with easy tracks and classical weapons. On the flip side, the big turbo works poorly, you have to play the lenghty tutorial no matter what and Cars 2 has an impertinent rubberband AI.

Don't be thrown off by the unattractive title! You will get an innovative, challenging puzzler with nice music and decent graphics for hours of gameplay fun.

Forget everything you knew about role playing, Magicka takes you beyond that.
