MiniSquadron is a pretty funny comic-shooter, but on the other side there is no story or long-term motivation.

What can I say, finally the prettiest shooter arrives on consoles. Although you haven't all the opportunities from the first Crysis in terms of exploring a whole island, New York seems to be the right choice for action. The Pretty Apple gets all my attention and makes me forget the straight-forward gameplay. Not quite an innovation, but a really great shooter.

When I cannot go to the real court, Top Spin 4 is the proper alternative. Well, the simulation does not always perform at its best, but the game almost perfectly hits the ball and at the moment there is no other tennis game that can keep the pace.

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.

A great game and 3D is a nice gimmick. Although I played more than an hour, my eyes couldn't quite handle the flaring screen. You always have to have the right angle when looking on the screen, not too close and not too far. But when the game uses the capabilities of 3D, you will see some fireworks.

This title is a perfect demonstration of the 3D feature, but has not enough gameplay content to reach a higher score regarding long time motivation of play. As a day 1-title it's a must-have tech demo!

Slam Bolt Scrappers is the modern era Tetris.

All in all I'm not completely disappointed. The strange mix of sex, violence, open world feeling and dialogue-driven storytelling with a easy combat system convinces, but the atmosphere aside the cinematic touch is disappointing. Nobody talks and you have to cope with text boxes.

Generally, Hyperdimension Neptunia is certainly not the worst RPG on the PS3. However, in order to be included in the major leagues the game lacks a lot.

Dragon Quest VI is a good role playing video game, strongly attached to classic genre conventions like round based fights and a free choose able talent tree. But we've already seen this in 1995.

The great career mode and the challenges are keeping you motivated although Capcom could have put a little more effort to the staging of the events. The crucial point is the really good working AI. You have to keep the pace.

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.

All in all lilt line is a challenging musicg ame, with oldschool retro graphics, blinking animations and nice sounds, but there is not that much variety in the game. For 500 Nintendo Points the game is absolutely ok, but don't expect too much.

No, it's not sufficient just to bring six heroes in one game. There has to be a plot, something like a thrill, but there isn't. The game just can't deliver, and this fact isn't changed by the heroes or the Move compatibility.

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.

Homefront is the shooter-surprise of the last couple of years. A new setting about real threats and the great story telling are catching my attention. And on top of it, you have a really good Multiplayer, a mix of Call of Duty and Battlefield with some extra fine gameplay notes.

Fans of Dissidia: Final Fantasy will love the pretty good sequel. The sounds, graphics and animations connect well to the characters, plus you're able to customize every bit of your heroes.

Fallout: New Vegas looks like an Add On to Fallout 3, but that should not mean, that it's a copy of its forerunner. It scores with an great atmosphere, nice story and all the typical and awesome Fallout features.

With its great graphic style and the mysterious, captivating music, we are led through FBI-Agent Nelson Tether's awesome story. The various characters, the abrupt story twists and the numerous puzzles, are combined a great game, which hopefully continues.

Everyone who wants to be the bad guy for one day should try out this repetitive title with loads of customization and some roleplaying aspects – it's worth playing in between, but a good story is missing in the end.

Bulletstorm is awesome. That's a fact.

This is boxing like it's meant to be. Great atmosphere, no HUD in the way, big scaled career mode, good gameplay mechanics and lots of tactics. Camera issues aside, this is a boxing title for champions.

Cities in Motion is a new simulation that allows you to build the local traffic for the uprising cities Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam and Helsinki. Unfortunately, the game consists of nothing more than planning and constructing routes.

If you liked Diablo then Torchlight is your thing! The fingerprints of the former Blizzard developers are all over this and it feels great. This game proofs that this genre is not out-dated. Get yourself back in the mood for a dungeon crawler.

Knights Contract is a Japanese interpretation of Goethe's Faust in hack'n'slay style. Apart from the funny, twisted story, the game lacks in pretty much every aspect: the boss fights are unfair and the AI is plainly stupid, to name but a few examples. Other games in this genre like Dantes Inferno are both better and cheaper.

In medieval Europe of the 17th century Heinrich and Gretchen unleash a veritable destructiveness. Alltogether, an entertaining action-adventure.

The idea behind Enigmo is good, but there is too much of a hassle when it comes down to handling. The game would be perfect if played on a PC and its mouse, but on PSP and PS3 it's just another nice mini.

Bejeweled Blitz LIVE is perfect for competitive players, who are familiar with the Bejeweled-Franchise. If this genre isn't your cup of tea, this fast-paced game won't change that.

Overall I can only recommend Kirby's Epic Yarn. The gameplay is challenging, funny and gripping, the graphical and sound effects are great and the co-op mode is very entertaining. It's one of the best Nintendo Wii games I've ever played.

Pokémon: Black Edition is one of the best Pokémon games ever. The mix of good old gameplay and new fresh features is really cool and in my point of view this game is the best looking game on the NDS I have ever seen.

You will either love or hate the game - I do both. Every twist of the story is followed by boring side quests. But the little story flame keeps burning and every flare of it keeps me in the game. I want to know what this is all about, even if it is only because I want something to happen.

Unfortunately, Dragon Age 2 has not met my expectations. The epic story of Dragon Age: Origins made me play the game for hours, but Dragon Age 2 lacks a gripping story. Most of the time you create bloodbaths by running through the same dull dungeons. There are some improvements like a talking main character, but it's not a new Dragon Age, it's rather a hack'n'slay with a touch of roleplaying. If you missed some action in Dragon Age: Origins, then you should get Dragon Age 2, but if you loved the atmosphere, the story and the freedom of choice, then you should expect something different.

Fans of Dragon Age: Origins will love Dragon Age 2, and it's one of the best role-playing games for PS3. That said, part 2 cannot quite deliver like the original Dragon Age, since time has passed and there is internal competition like Mass Effect 2.

StarDrone is fun, but only for a short time!

It's hard to describe what it is that makes Bulletstorm that special. Featuring a great storyline, 15 hours of gameplay, cool optics and a pretty rough sense of humor, even non-shooter players could be convinced by this one. Unfortunately, the handling deserves better than the status quo, especially when you're in a hurry.

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.

Apart from the lack of various maps, the game is fun to play; at least the free demo version is recommendable.

Featuring a different plot than the movie and many collectable items, it is worth a try. But the multiplayer mode for three and four players is senseless, as it is arranged in a very passive way.

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

Forget coffee, Coke or Red Bull. If you never ever want to sleep again, than there's just one thing for you: Dead Space 2! You will be captivated, shocked and frightened right away from the beginning.

Karimogi features jump'n'run as well as puzzle, but it's missing approachability. The difficulty is pretty high, but fair, great for pro gamers. Addictive, but not recommended for casual gamers.

Ferrari: The Race Experience is too difficult, even on the lowest level of difficulty of the four available. Thus, it quickly gets boring.

Shooter fans shouldn't hesitate because it is an online shooter reduced to its absolute main parts. For everyone else the learning curve is quite high, technically speaking there are better shooters out there, and variety is missing.

For a strategy game, Men of War: Assault Squad features great environments and nice graphics. Enjoy the game - Men of War: Assault Squad deserves it.

Listen to punk rock music, get the tunnel vision, jump, drift and hit your opponents! nail'd would be a perfect racing game, if there weren't the repeating tracks, the so called huge motor pool and the missing long-term motivation.

Dragon's Lair for the PlayStation 3 is a simple copy of the original game from 1983, so there is nothing new or innovative. However, fans of Disney's animation films get their money's worth.

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

Stacking is beautiful to look at and its story about child labor and the stereotypic underdog is heartwarming, yet its controls are sloppy, cut scenes are far too long and for 1200 MSP it might be a little bit pricey for its short length. Nevertheless, it's worth a look for those who love riddles and that 20ies' charm.

de Blob 2 for Nintendo Wii is a game that does not really support the motion features the Wii console offers. Apart from that, de Blob 2 contains hilarious scenes, great effects and is short and sweet.

There's no story, no variety, an average detail level and no innovation. You can switch between 2D and 3D perspective, but that's all to say about this space shooter.

A beat 'em up has to be fast, colorful and full of action. All these points have gone into Fate of Two Worlds making the game to a must have for every comic aficionado.

101 Dophin Pets is a cute game for young players, although the first minutes of the game are a bit tricky.

The huge amount of plants and the various zombies are the right ingredients for a good tower defense game.

Many challenges, power-ups, various racing modes and a nice presentation offer every day fun. If you are looking for a good fun racer, you will find it with TNT Racers.

Explodemon can't speak right (intentionally, that is), but explodes in a much more sophisticated manner. Casual and core gamers alike will love the simplicity of the controls, but don't expect too much variety.

Spare Parts actually is a 2D jump'n'run with an additional third dimension. The bad camera work spoils the whole fun and the coop mode. Apart from that, the atmosphere, sound and gameplay are pretty well done and also proper for younger gamers.

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.

Good points: Massive amount of area, long-term motivation thanks to 100+ cars and a sophisticated online experience. Negative points: Handbrake is useless, the handling is next to unexpectable, the streets seem to be pretty empty, you can't drive over bushes ... oh, and it's ugly, too. I'd say: Taking a test drive is okay, but buying is not (yet) an option.

Gray Matter is a typical point & click adventure with a deep storyline and a stunning atmosphere. Apart from the lack of action it's a game which is worth a try.

Lengthy battles embedded in a great story will bring joy to players. But be warned, to enjoy this one to the fullest, you should possess love for micro management, tactical fighting as well as lots of patience.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is a solid jump'n'run-shooter with nice retro flair and sophisticated audio tracks. Core gamers will be attracted, so it's definitely worth giving it a try.

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

Crash Time 4 - The Syndicate is a racing game that introduces nothing new or innovative to the gamers and is just fun to play for a certain while. But the racing element is a welcome feature and the city of cologne is rebuilt in a very fascinating and detailed way.

Mario Sports Mix had the opportunity to be a great sports games collection on the Nintendo Wii, but there are only four games included and there is no commentator – a great flaw, as comments on your performance usually enhance the fun. Then again, the multiplayer mode, easiness, and beginner friendliness make the game quite entertaining.

Killzone 3: Definitely a must-have, boasting its great graphics, messing with your perception, and a pretty nice storyline. Aside from that, there's still some issues in the handling sector, sometimes there's just too little time to react appropriately. While the singleplayer mode on its own is good, multiplayer's simply awesome.

After 19 years, X-Men Arcade finally made its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360. A few things like the redesigned heads-up display changed, but sound and graphics are still 1992. They make sure you get your retro-feelings, fighting enemies like Juggernaut, Pyro or Magneto.

Even though the character's facial expressions do not seem to be overwhelming, the story, the awesome soundtrack, the authentic synchro and other thrilling details create a spine-chilling horror adventure.

I restarted the game, but the game was over. If you're into Breakout, this might be just for you, but if you're in search for something soccer-related, just let this one pass you by.

If you haven't experienced Jane's Hotel yet – or do want to play it on the go – and want some casual gaming input with a motivating time management game, this will be your choice for the PSP.

Everybody who likes to dance doesn't have to do it public – with Dance Paradise you can stay at your place. Due to the common presentation and the repetitive dance moves you might get bored quite soon.

This mini is worth its price, and its multiplayer as well as its achievements will motivate you for a long time.

The potential in DC Universe Online is immense, and while the basics are okay, the polishing however has gone bad. There's only little life in this CPU city, and leveling is done just way too fast.

You like pipes and some repetitive gameplay elements? Pipe Madness is for hardcore retro fans as it has not got much of an innovative flair, but 64 levels of puzzle action.

The turn-based strategy game Making History II - The War of the World has too much focus on the economy than on the tactical side of warfare. This game is definitely no competitor to the Hearts of Iron series.

Angry Birds is addictive, whether on PSP or not. It's funny and simple and a skill game for the whole family.

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.

There's light and shadow: Missing variety, an awful balancing and a horrible camera setting meet lots of customization, six different fighting styles, a huge amount of monsters and equipment.

Playing Spare Parts, you'll find some innovative thoughts on cooperative multiplayer and fast platform action. Once you can handle the problems with the control and perspective, you will get a smart, detailed game for a low price for ten hours of gameplay.

Compared to Mindjack, I even like some of the dance games for Kinect – there at least I move my body. But nothing about this game makes me sweat. It's sad because given the mindhack feature, this could have been a game with potential.

Unfortunately, it's like Tron marries Kingdom Hearts. The latest part of the franchise just seems odd, Square Enix has tried much, some things delivered, others failed.

After Cars for Wii in 2006 one could expect at least an average game. But what's sold here falls pretty short of the great Pixar movie. Hardcore fans can buy it, but everyone else should get Mario Party and the likes.

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.

Don't expect too much from Sky Force. It is very tactical and pretty tough, but it's still a good game for fans of the old-school vertical shoot'em-ups.

If you don't expect DUNGEONS to be Dungeon Keeper III, there are not many things you could possibly criticize. This game is more about taking care of yours heroes than of your creatures. Nevertheless, the mission of creating a fun title has been well completed.

Dr. Kawashima makes it right, but keeps it simple. The so-called challenges could be more challenging and the Doc could use some entertainer genes from Buzz the quizmaster.

A beautiful, innovative game with loads of details and content – you can feel the love of the game designers and will be bound to Ilo and Milo in this puzzle madness. But: Nothing for action freaks.

If you're into the Halo series and you happen to own a PSP, you'd better check out this one. Hopefully, part two will feature a local multiplayer mode.

It succeeds in scaring the heck out of you and binding your hands to the controller. Much action, much horror and an amazing atmosphere contribute to a great game chilling down your spine.

Dead Space 2 can keep up with one of the most essential aspects that is often missed in games: it's bloody thrilling. It's not usual that a game drags so hard on your nerves – but you will appreciate it.

No matter how long you're playing, Mass Effect 2 is immersive and you can't get enough of it. Story, atmosphere, graphics: Everything fits in and successfully delivers to any action and RPG fan.

Sure, it has a lot of arcade action, great feeling of speed and lots of options in terms of how you actually can race the tracks. Nevertheless, nail'd has succeeded in many things but one: to nail it.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is innovative, features unique gameplay and is always between cheerful, funny and challenging at times. It's sometimes a bit limited and linear, but for one go, it's great.

It's unique, but not perfect. Beginners will be frustrated very quickly, but fans of Rampage and the likes will just love the button-mashing-action. There are weaknesses in terms of handling and aiming, though.

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.

It's good to be a god. Unfortunately, the realization of this game idea wasn't very well considered. And while the figures are very cuddly, the whole level design is boring and constantly repeating.

It simply doesn't work. The idea behind the game, however, was a good one. Ironically, Truth or Lies shows impressively that not everything you read on a game's blurb has to be true.

Its setting is impressively innovative and sets the stage for something big, but MicroBot just falls a bit short of that promise. The handling is very demanding, and so it's just another arcade shooter.

Spider-Man: Dimensions is not just a great implementation of the Spider-Man comics, it also offers a lot of awesome Villains from Spider-Man's world. Stan Lee as the narrator, a huge amount of funny jokes, and the fantastic combat system will make this game a must-have for fans of the Marvel universe.
