An arcade retro basketball game with dynamic AI, an intense 2 on 2 gameplay and players from the past. I love it.

After Super Mario 3D Land, Nintendo has another hardware seller in Mario Kart 7. While Super Mario 3D Land redefined 3D jump'n'runs, Mario Kart 7 sets also new standards for fun and arcade racers. Mario Kart 7 offers the deepest multiplayer experience in the franchise, but that's not all. It's the cool mix of good old features and fresh gameplay elements, which makes the game so cool.

Darksiders II offers almost everything, a good action adventure needs – variety, explorable landscapes, neat dungeon design, boss fights full of action and a variety of side quests.

On the one hand, the game offers total freedom and the player is absorbed by the game. On the other hand, it's not a game to play in a meanwhile - you need loads of time to get from one point to another and patience to save the game at certain points. That's the reason, why some players already returned the game to the shop.

This game succeeds amazingly in telling a story. It's not perfect, but a great addition to the already incomparable Castlevania franchise.

Xbox 360’s Red Faction: Guerilla is a pure action-explosion game. If you aren´t interested in a very good story but an explosive game, this title could be the one for you.

In short : You have to play Mortal Kombat, if you want to have the best beat 'em up for the Vita.

What the new Prince of Persia has to offer: Easy-going action, a very good story and enough motivation in an open-world-setting, which contains many questpoints to guide you.

Dante is back! At times the gameplay may be a little monotonous but there is speed, fun and atmosphere to be found in DMC – Devil May Cry. The new style sits well on Dante and Combichrist's soundtrack perfects the return of the arrogant demon hunter.

This title comes up with a very good story, many plot twists, a “thinking” city and a very charming protagonist with style. A very well done open-world title that offers lots of hours full of fantastic gameplay!

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 is the latest and best game in the series. More, it is also the best golf simulation on the Wii. The great amount of game modes, the good gameplay and the useful caddie are the major advantages of the game.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is the fresh breeze the MMORPG genre so urgently needed.

The multiplayer mode is very motivating: Using the splitscreen functionality, you can play the whole story together with up to three friends. Very exciting and funny, but WWII is already a little bit old-fashioned!

If you want to get more of the Warhammer 40k story, there is no way around Chaos Rising. Although quite challenging, this game offers good action and story elements.

Despite some shortcomings in the graphics department and an occasionally questionable AI, Saints Row: The Third is a great game with an amazing open word experience and loads of crazy funny action.

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.

Due to the new features like the arcade modes and the first person view I can recommend this game even for owners of the former Tiger Woods PGA Tour game. The only weakness are the ugly 2D spectators, but that's just a detail.

Taking control of the ultimate soldier has never been more entertaining. The gameplay and controls of Crysis 2 are outstanding and rate among the best in the genre. Graphics and sound are incredible, the post-apocalyptic atmosphere hasn't been this good since Fallout 3. The unique Crysis 2 is much more than a typical shooter.

Chemistry never was that entertaining.

Due to the fact that you are always on the run for the high score, this game entertains for hours, even if it is quite difficult and doesn’t use bonus items you could earn.

Forget about AAA-Games… Here comes Planetside 2! Epic battles, beautiful graphics and catchy incidental music add up into one of the best MMOFPS experiences to date.

I'm impressed: this balance between accessibilty for beginners and challenge for pros is something other fighting games should strive to copy. Street Fighter X Tekken is in a league of its own, in part thanks to the Gem system. The poor character individualization options and soundtrack are the only notable flaws. A fighting game that anyone – and that's what's special: really anyone – can take a swing at.

If you're into Formula One sports, there is no reason not to try F1 2010. It's your best shot, if you want to find out how a true F1 driver has to act and think.

Sound Shapes is easy to play and fun to handle – a must-have for every Vita-player.

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.

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.

Technically unparalleled. The single player campaign isn't quite as great as Black Ops's story, but the multiplayer mode is outright stunning. That said, Battlefield 3 is the cosole shooter to get this year.

We expected a lot from Monster Hunter Tri, and we didn‘t get disappointed. The setting, graphics, sound and the various multiplayer features are the reasons why this is a highlight of the Wii games line-up this year.
