Even though NHL 14 isn't a huge step forward for the franchise it builds upon the steps that its predecessor has taken and delivers a satisfying ice hockey-experience, that is definitely enhanced by the new collision physics, which make NHL 14 a rather more visceral game.

China, France and Egypt are the three varied locations waiting for you to be explored. The first The Sims 3 add-on is worth a try.

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.

Fieldrunners is a quite entertaining tower-defense game that comes with tanks, motorbikes, helicopters and more. A disadvantage is that the levels are quite long, which is not the best, if you are around outside.

Playing Where is my Heart? is like an indie retro-adventure with a philosophical background: puzzle and art combined in a healthy and addictive mix – featuring the windowed levels, which challenge the player every time they enter a new level.

New Art Academy has a great deal to offer. Easily comprehensible lessons, masses of utensils, comfortable sharing options and the possibility to use an image of your choice as template. It is just a tiny bit of a shame though that the game doesn’t rate your creative masterpieces and that there’s no online database where all units created by users are collected.

A game that doesn’t only impress with the well-done graphic, but with its varied course and the exciting story of the game! Sometimes it takes a little time to load, but that can be easily excused.

After the first mission (introduction to the story), you are able to experience the full freedom and options of the game. As an alternative to the main story, there are a lot of entertaining mini games and other catchy features.

Due to the impressive graphics and the authentic gameplay, Need for Speed: SHIFT 2 Unleashed is an extremely realistic and thrilling racing-simulation. The ultimate challenge for your driving skills.

In my opinion, everyone should play Rise of the Pirate God! The last part presents Monkey Island at its best. Graphics are not overwhelming, but the game lives from its atmosphere.

Darksiders 2 may not be perfect but it is a great action game nonetheless and guarantees hours of thrilling entertainment.

Toy Soldiers: Cold War is a good conclusion of this years Summer of Arcade. The game play elements not only tieing well into each other but also being great fun by themselves is key to this. Whoever enjoyed the single player experience will volunteer for the Toy Soldiers army in the brilliant coop-mode.

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.

The only negative thing to say about this game is that there’s no multiplayer mode. Apart from that I’m sure that you will spend a lot of hours playing this title.

In Metro 2033 you will experience high-end graphics and a story that is a little short, but full of shocking moments. Since I played this game I take my flashlight with me when I am traveling around with the tube… you never know what will happen.

The battles prove your skill, the humor will make you laugh and the design of La Dormita and its dream-pendant are gorgeous.

Comic racers were yesterday, Blur is today. The graphics aren't really detailed, but the effects are outstanding. Blur is pure adrenaline, but it can get frustrating a bit as well.

All the DC Super Heroes join the party with Batman and his opponent Joker – and this party's in an open world that provides many riddles and fun as well as a wide range of gameplay-options. Once again, there is no online-mode and the loading times are as tedious as some leghty missions. Besides, there are not enough checkpoints to make a break and to save the game. However, the characters engage in discussions and dialogue, the world to explore is huge and the story offers a lot of humour. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is a great game for both young and grown up gamers.

It would be a pity, if this was the last adventure of Professor Layton as the presentation as well as the atmosphere is well done, the story exciting and the characters lovable.

Big, bigger, Just Cause 2. The Game takes it serious with the open-world theme, you can explore countless villages. But on the other hand the story isn't really a burner. Nonetheless we will spend our next holidays in Panau.

Shooter fans will like RAGE, but it's lack of story or really innovative elements won't attract new players that didn't love other id games. I hoped for more, guys.

Even when the graphics aren’t up to date anymore, Napoleon: Total War is a great add-on to one of the best strategy games ever. Especially the drop in battles is very exciting.

Any jump'n'run fan should take at least a peek at the Jak and Daxter Trilogy, as all three parts are absolutely worth playing.

The graphics are beautiful, the 3D effect is very well implemented and the Arcade Mode is a good addition. Good, albeit a bit short, space action for your spare time.
