The Sims 3: Supernatural is the first expansion for a long time that really brings meaningful innovations into play.

Warriors of the North is another great add-on for King's Bounty. The new Nordic campaign, creates new enemies and warriors, that bring more tactical opportunities. If you like the genre, Warriors of the North will be fun.

Gatling Gears is a well-done shoot'em up that is also accessible for those who don't have that much experience with the genre as well.

Ghostbusters celebrates its anniversary and brings delightful fun to your living room – if you are a fan.

If you are looking for a "different" racing game, you will definitely find it with Trackmania.

Katamari Forever is not really a bad game. But there are so many little mistakes and frustrating moments in it that it is not more than a nice idea.

Sam & Max makes almost everything right. Also the characters and the story are funny as hell.

The tactical complexity in the fighting is much higher than in other games of the genre and wild button pushing will not take you any further.

All together a real must-have for Queen fans and all folks who like to party and sing karaoke.

The biggest problem with F.3.A.R. is the stress on shooter aspects and the small amount of shock effects.

It's more a shooter than a horror game. The story isn't stunning and the missing freedom in the levels is a major disadvantage. The graphics aren't state of the art, while the sound effects are pretty cool. Also the KI is challenging and the slow motion sequences are pretty entertaining. But the core element of the game is the amazing coop-mode, where you are playing with a friend (one Paxton Fettel and one plays Point Man).

Because of its historical incorrectness, this game brings a fresh breeze into the WWII games. A must have for fans.

Army of Two: The 40th Day is a great co-op game, but also the single player mode is entertaining, even if the commando system is definitely focused on the essential.

Single players won‘t have much fun with its non-existent tactical depth, while fans of online gameplay will enjoy everlasting hours of joy. A dull solo campaign, but long-lasting experience on the net await you – if you like to play war with friends, get it.

Even if you haven’t played one of the Gran Turismo games, you definitely should buy this one! Awesome!

The developers have managed to maintain the flair that made part one so special. However, some missions seem to be stiff and monotone, but if you're just after a good story, this one works for you.

Syndicate delivers a convincing performance on the Microsoft console. Especially the fact that there is no online pass needed for the multiplayer mode is reason to rejoice.

Blimp: The Flying Adventures is a kind of its own: It's an innovative and inspired port form the iPhone version in combination with elements of UGH! and Crazy Taxi. A must-have for every Minis-fan!

Fortix 2 has built on the successful gameplay of the prequel adding some new features, 30 levels and monthly updates.

Hamilton's Great Adventure impresses with its coop mode and is fun for beginners and advanced treasure hunters. It is definitely recommendable for fans of the genre to purchase this puzzle-platformer.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a pretty cool PSN game. After Rochard, this is the next PlayStation exclusive game that offers satisfying and cool arcade action. It's damn fun and cheap so if you like action-arcade, you schould try Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken.

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale doesn't redefine the genre and doesn't make anything special but the mix of PlayStation-air with all the arenas and fighters, the entertaining gameplay and the cool multiplayer-action is damn fun!

This year's WWE wrestling game appears in perfect shape, though it lacks real innovation. The latter however may well be due to having hit the Nintendo console's glass ceiling. If you own Smackdown vs. Raw 2011, you might as well skip it, otherwise: ring the bell!

It's what you'd expect from a puzzle game: Simple gameplay, lovely graphics and catchy tunes could transform this game to an instant classic. Unfortunately, it quickly gets too difficult.

This game could be even harder than Chuck Norris. Well, that's typically NIS! Frustration never was so sweet, and the gameplay about building an own food chain around an ecosystem is very addictive.

EU Rome is a title only recommended for fans of micro-management. If you have the wish to virtually visit the battlefields of the ancient Rome, other games are much more satisfying.

With Mini Ninjas you’ll get an entertaining and entertaining action adventure. I can recommend it to children and adults who are looking for a nonviolent game.

A good piece of art! Death to Spies – Moment of Truth is a great game with excellent working AI!

Moto Racer DS is one of the best racing games on the Nintendo DS. The handling of the stylus is a little bit difficult, but it entertains for hours when you became used to it.

Saboteur makes it definitely not easy to rate it. The open-world of Paris is amazing as long as it keeps its film-noir elements. Once in Technicolor it loses some of its charm. Despite minor drawbacks and if you like open-world games, you surely will like this one.

King soccer is back, and the version for Wii is more impressive than ever. Definitely worth a look.

LittleBigPlanet Karting sports no big innovations, but it does everything quite well. Tons of levels, a nice atmosphere, multiplayer modes (local & online), the LittleBigPlanet air and good old Sackboy transforms the fun-arcade-racer to a highlight for all fans of this genre.

The new developer combined new features with the good old gameplay. That's fresh and more enjoyable for party game fans. The singleplayer mode is merely solid, while the multiplayer is pure entertainment.

This game is number one when it comes down to military simulations. For shooter fans it can be too complex, but if you're into real missions and realism at its best, be welcome.

Pretty convincing with a cool mix between riddles, action and dexterity passages.

Pandora's Tower got its weaknesses, but the wonderful soundtrack, the grotesque atmosphere and the dynamic relationship with Helena offer a great deal of fun.

All together this title is a “must have” for Queen-fans! And folks that enjoy SingStar anyway won’t be disappointed as well.

If you want to do something for your personal fitness level, Mel B can help you a lot. One problem occurring is that PlayStation Move is easily tricked, hence you're led to cheat. Maybe Kinect can do better?

Don't await too much of a story but a good piece of action with this spin off from the mystery drama Alan Wake. A nice and new way to find new players for a franchise.

Players appreciating story as well as gameplay will be satisfied. A LEGO game never has looked this great and was so lively, but it's still the old LEGO formula. Still worth a look or two.

An atmospheric masterpiece with many endings and a big amount of goose bumps all over your neck! But be warned, the game lasts for eight hours at maximum – and you‘re going to hate the creepers really soon.

A nice 3D Puzzle with 50 unique levels.

There haven't been any significant changes to the prior versions - its more like a complete version of the original.

Sherlock Holmes‘ latest case is probably his darkest adventure. It’s a great game and I can recommend it to everyone who’s looking for a thrilling adventure.

Wolverine is all about blood, gore and violence. The rest is plain and simple.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 contains a better story and is more graphically more stunning than the first part of the series. I had a lot of fun with this game due to the high number of heroes.

Clear, calm, yet demanding: Eufloria's gameplay is simply convincing. A lot of love went into this game, whose only shortcoming is the lack of a multiplayer option.

A very entertaining adventure à la Monkey Island is approaching you. Because of the nice graphics and lots of good humor this game makes a lot of fun.

As this game rocked on GameCube, it rocks on the Wii nowadays.

Thumbs up, because the price/performance ratio of Bob came in pieces is simply top. Really cool game when it comes to physics, puzzles are embedded in an innovative setting.

All in all, the latest adventures of Spider-Man can be recommended to everyone. The great combination of exploration and fighting is brilliant, and also the atmosphere, the sound and the graphical effects are really convincing. The only disadvantage of the game is the missing multiplayer mode and the annoying mini game.

The ingredients of Arcana Heart 3 are a lot of cool girls, different fighting styles, arcane powers and, unfortunately, rather poor graphics.

Sideway: New York could have been something really cool, with some fresh ideas and a cool setting. But the developers didn't tap the potential of the game. The controls are tricky to handle, the co-op mode is a no-go and the story is pretty weird. On the other hand, there are some pretty cool things like the bossfights, the different points of view and the cool spray and grafitti setting.

Whether PES 2012 can win the eternal struggle with this year's FIFA title is a close call and will eventually be decided by your subjective preferences. Me, I liked PES a tick better.

There’s not much to say about Savage Moon. The game is a typical Tower Defense-offshoot. Built up towers and kill as many enemies as possible.

If you like LEGO, collecting things and coop-games, you can't do anything wrong, if simple gameplay and the pirate scenario is ok for you.

The Total Racquet Control is a good idea, but doesn't help if you can't spot the ball on the lawn. Overall, graphics are okay, though not the best you've ever seen from EA Sports. Good atmosphere and worth a look for tennis fans.

Despite the short campaign Worms Revolution is a must have game for all wargame fans.

Well done! This is worth a recommendation on the Mini market as a shoot'em up. Go, hamster, go!

Gaijin tried to combine too many things in Birds of Steel, and the result isn't as good as it could be. It's just another flight sim that relies heavily on historical facts, but it doesn't quite shine.

Whoever had been looking for a very good ego shooter on the DS, has found it. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Mobilized has to be running on every DS of an adult gamer.

All in all I can only recommend the game to all core gamers on the Nintendo Wii. It's pretty amazing to see what Warren Spector and his team at Junction Point have created. The atmosphere, the story and the gameplay are pretty good, and will convince every Wii gamer.

If EA can do one thing right, it's to again bring innovations to The Sims 3 players.

Shin'en Multimedia has provided WiiWare fans with a wonderful sci-fi racer in their meanings and the 40 MB limit.

There are some great improvements compared to the predecessor, but nonetheless Zumba Fitness Rush has its weak points. After all, the game offers a nice workout program for newcomers.

In a way, it's more exploring a virtual theme park than an actual game, but that's a good thing. Kids get to explore the amusement park 2.0 at their own discretion. Simple fun with their favorite attractions or go on a big adventure, exploring everything – it's their choice. A second player is more along for the ride than anything, but the look, the Disney atmosphere and the beloved characters' voices are all there. Frontier Development tops Kinectimals with this one, the best Kinect kid's game yet and one of the best Kinect titles overall.

Because there are not so many new RPGs for the Wii, some of the genre-fans will be fond of Monster Lab! The combination of mini games, combats and the creating of monster-parts are able to fascinate gamers!

PES 2011 is a great game on the Nintendo 3DS. The graphics, the 3D effect, the gameplay and the stunning atmosphere are major advantages. Nevertheless, I'm missing some online features, more options for editing players and a tutorial.

Moving defense towers in orbits really is a nifty idea, and the graphics absolutely look right. Combined with the 50s retro charme, Unstoppable Gorg is a tower defense title I can recommend.

All in all, the game is rather disappointing: It offers no variety and no long-term motivation.

This is a must-have download title – high quality, innovative indie gameplay style, immersive story, six hours of fun and stealth-action pickled with puzzle elements.

Never before has retro been that modern. We love to play all the tricky levels with all the flashy lights in full HD.

Sky Fighters is a really cute PSN game I have enjoyed.

Hawks offers short time entertainment, especially if you play the multiplayer mode. On the whole this title offers lots of exciting action and fun.

Looking for something to play while waiting for Diablo III? Crimson Alliance isn't brilliant, but still a fine way to spend the time.

For sure it is not easy for Majesty 2 during the Christmas time against the real blockbusters. I had fun with this game, so you could also try it!

It's a 1:1 port from Wii, it's technically equal and Move isn't fully supported. What worked in 2008, simply isn't enough nowadays.

With Mirror of Fate the iconic franchise finally returns to the 2D world - with success. This way back to its roots is definitely enjoyable, but still something's missing to reach the grandeur of the series’ famous installments. Nevertheless, both gameplay and visuals are great. There are some minor balancing problems, but all in all Mirror of Fate is a must-have for fans of the genre.

The game as a whole is really well done, so Grand Ages: Rome is really worth to play.

A worthy successor. If you like rapid fire without tactics or much of a story, this one is for you. I found it a bit monotonous in the long run – but for a quick session of mindless fun, Serious Sam 3: BFE is perfect.

This arcade title has much potential, but it's only grounded in the multiplayer modes which are fun. On the single-player side it lacks variety and a background story.

RACE Pro is a mediocre racing-simulation ... but with a very good sound, but that’s it. Too frustrating handling and too few race tracks won’t motivate you to play this game very often.

Although it's not the hotly anticipated The Sims 4, this add-on delivers enough fresh content to make fans of the franchise happy and busy. Its new faces, careers, location and items will ensure continued fun until the next entry of the series surfaces.

Even if unfamiliar with the Movies and the Story, Cars 2 is a good game for all ages. Anyone who liked Mario Kart will enjoy the big-eyed cars, as well.

This is a shooter which challenges your senses. Hopefully, more gamers will play it, otherwise it's doomed: Empty servers aren't exactly what you're searching for when going online.

The most exciting feature is the mounted battle, because it is demanding and fast. Release the mouse button at the right moment to hit an enemy. If you ride faster, you will do more damage.

Featuring a highly interesting story, a tremendous setting, great characters and an overwhelming soundtrack, A New Beginning easily can be regarded as the adventure of the year.

Includes features from the best games such as Uncharted 2 or GTA. But some small bugs make it a little bit less attractive than those big titles.

After Burner Climax is an old-school arcade game. Your motivation is high scoring only, and that‘s it. Playing through all levels takes you about 30 to 40 minutes, so don‘t expect too much.

I wished for more than five levels, but it is a mini game after all. This title is definitely worth its low price, in fact it is ideal for playing on the go. The difficulty is fairly high, but is much fun too, just a fantastic mix

On the 3DS, The Sims 3: Pets has some improvements over the original. The biggest one: the 2D-map was replaced by a wish and craving list – a pretty cool improvment. An of course, you can now play cats and dogs and customize them in many ways. There are still some weak points like the controls or the three Sims cap, but all in all, it's a nice game on the 3DS.

The only thing the HD rejuvenation really imbued is the graphic design and that's simply not enough to recommend Nights into Dreams to anyone but true retro lovers.

Even if Medal of Honor needs a little bit to get started, it starts to be great fun after the first few missions. It also combines a great atmosphere with an awesome gameplay.

WWE '12 offers fans an incredibly intense experience. The Predator technology, the great camera work and presentation, the Wake-Up Taunts and the huge roster are just a few of the many awesome improvements.

To be honest, Wolfenstein, especially the multiplayer part, is not as good as everybody hoped it would be.

If you like snowboarding games, you'll enjoy this one too, but if you're new to this genre you might want to look somewhere else to enter this area.

The ideas have been strong within this one, but the awful AI and the campaign that isn't worth its name may not exactly be helpful. For online players, however, it's a blast.

Papo & Yo is the best indie game since Limbo.
