    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.

    Would have had everything necessary to become a great game, but it seems there was to little time for production. The game got some serious graphical and synchronization issues and lacks any passion in storytelling. It is just boring. There are only two good things about his game: the fighting system is really great with a lot of weapons and combos and the coop-mode is really fun to play. But that's it. Really poor what the studio has made out of so much potential.

    The easily accessible gameplay as well as the strong focus on fights will keep fans of Spidey and Co. captured in it's web for a long time.

    If you can't get enough of Tintin and his friends and if you don't really have much experience with video games, it's worth considering. Keep the short play time in mind.

    Start the Party: Save the World! is fun when you try it for the first time, but that's about it: if your party is to last, you'd better have another title on hand.

    Don't let yourself be distracted by the looks of Medieval Moves: Despite its cute and simple charm, the game is a worthy successor and progress from Sports Champions' gladiator and archery mode.

    A Kinect party game with good motion sensing as its strength – hard to believe, but Rabbids Alive & Kicking feels that way. The graphic are a mixed bag, the sound feels a bit weak, but you'll generally understand why you didn't manage to really whack that Rabbid. If dancing isn't your thing and Dance Central 2 is out, likely the best party game for Kinect – if you can find the right minigames for your crowd.

    The figures are an innovative concept and allow expanding the experience to taste. Budget permitting, you can add as any characters and treasures to the game as you like.

    Though the campaign is short and not too demanding, Battlefield 3 is without a doubt the best shooter of the year 2011. The multiplayer mode with its huge maps, brilliant 64 player battles, and the return of the jets is the best thing going.

    Bejeweled 3 doesn't bother with pretense of a story, but keeps it simple: entertaining match 3 without unnecessary fluff. Merely solid graphics and sounds, but entertaining game modes for every taste that achieve the "one more round" effect. If you're looking for depth, look elsewhere; if you want good casual fun, it's a gem.

    The game stands for lots of action, a story besides the One Ring and cooperative gameplay at its best. With two friends by your side, this game shows what it's really worth.

    It's the same recipe as in its predecessors: speed, Sonic and style. Although the handling is not exactly great, there's lot to find in Sonic Generations. Variety, challenges and a nice skill system do Sonic justice.

    Despite the good story, the well done graphics and the entertaining sounds, Spider-Man: Edge of Time lacks in gripping gameplay and action. Once more boredom prevails.

    Stronghold 3 is a successor that takes up the story of the original and continues it. Wit a back to the roots approach, the game tries to avoid disgrace a la Stronghold 2. The new day and night cycles, plus the physics of collapsing buildings, are a stark contrast to largely drab graphics and some clipping problems. The missing skirmish mode is also a problem. Still, all in all, Stronghold 3 delivers a solid military and economic gameplay.

    Let's hope the real NBA season will star with as much enthusiasm as 2K Games had for creating this game. Legends, great graphics, swell sound, astounding atmosphere – it has everything a basketball fan could want.

    Dungeon Defenders merges RPG elements with tower defense and action aspects, and that's a good recipe. You'll rarely get so many hours of gaming fun fur such a low price.

    Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is the best part of the Ace Combat series yet, particularly thanks to the Dogfights.

    The Mystery Case Files series on PC is pretty cool and a really good choice for hidden object fans, but the genre's debut on home consoles somewhat disappoints: not enough mini games, a lacking atmosphere and the Wii's control possibilities largely untapped. Casual fans will want more hidden object games on the Nitendo Wii, but they must be better and cheaper.

    It's not the first game that claims to be ultimate, but Ultimate Tenkaichi actually turns out to be a near-perfect Dragon Ball gaming experience. Lots of content, a great Be a Hero mode and destructible environments await.

    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.

    Just because it says Burnout in the title you won't find Burnout inside – Burnout Crash will have to live with that criticism. Criterion took the popular Crash mode and turned it into a complete game, but leaving quality so much roadkill in some places. It's not really a bad game, though, just miles behind the original.

    All in all, I'm quite impressed. The good old Battlefield multi-player experience was supplemented with a pretty good single player campaign. The graphics and sound effects are truly stunning, as is the deep atmosphere. This is what players want from a shooter.

    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.

    Kinect Sports: Season Two scores with mostly well-conceived adaptions of the sports, fun mini games and a good atmosphere. Biggest problem: the developers did not learn from the original's mistakes, the game requires tons of space even by Kinect standards. It's a little different from the predecessor, but of similar quality – spot on as a fun sports 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.

    My expectations simply were too high. Disney Universe is a solid platformer but has nothing to justify the Disney in its name. For kids it's good fun, but gamers will find it lacking in variety, flair and themes.

    The phrase "more of the same" strikes one more time. Gamers who liked the main game will find this addon entertaining as well. For RPG enthusiasts, ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif falls a little short on complexity.

    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is one of the best PS3 games around, no action-adventure could stand up to it by comparison – until now! Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception combines the good elements of its predecessor with some new, fresh features like the enhanced multiplayer in a stunning setting. The atmosphere and the story really capture the player's interest and will have them lost track of time. A great game – thanks, Naughty Dog.
