An impressive follow-up to a great racing game. Rich in content and with the online system autolog for great competitive value.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon continues the series' trademark strategic gameplay, this time on the Nintendo DS. If you're a sucker for the combination of strategy and roleplaying elements, this game will let you burn countless hours on your DS. Upgrading your units and making sure they survive is very addictive and fun, and the intuitive online mode is a great bonus. This is not an easy game though and not for the casual player, but for all of you strategy nuts out there, this is one great buy.

A bit short, but a nice combination of action and strategy.

Quotation forthcoming.

A beautiful and extremely cozy platform puzzler. You play it with a big, constant smile on your face.

Although this is a scaled down version of the Anno experience we've come to know on the PC it still has enough depth to captivate us through for hours with it's appealing blend of intuitive controls and charming graphics. The controls are well adapted to the unique control scheme of the Wii and the presentation does a god job of conveying all that's going on at any given time. If you're in the mood for a fun and well made strategic experience of a less hardcore nature, this is the game for you.

Captain Toad isn’t the deepest game in history, but it’s filled with charming graphics, clever design and a bunch of fantastic puzzles. The camera is annoying, and it tends to be a bit repetitive after a while. In any other way Captain Toad is a good choice for the puzzle fan.

Due to a slow start, forced puzzle moments and a crude visual surface Mario & Luigi: Dream Team doesn’t hold up to the predecessors high standards. It is in no way a bad game, but more should be expected from Alpha Dream and Nintendo.

At a first glance Helldivers might look simplistic and repetitive, but it does not take long before you realize how deep and enjoyable the core mechanics are. If you want an easy to understand yet challenging cooperative shooter, you cannot do better than Helldivers.

The last game with Professor Layton as it’s main characters offers great puzzles and improvements to the series core gameplay. Level5 could probably have invested more in the cut-scenes and voice acting since the dialogue text kind of drags. But in all, a must for lovers of Layton.

Sunset Overdrive is a colorful adventure that offers great and fun combat against a crazy amount of enemies. Unfortunately many of the missions feel like a chore, and both the city and especially the survivors are uninteresting. Despite the flaws Sunset Overdrive is still a good game that entertains while it lasts, but it isn’t a very memorable experience.

As far as technical achievement and pure playfulness goes, this is a massive accomplishment for Avalanche Studios. If you're into blowing stuff up and wreaking havoc in a open free roaming environment, this is the game for you. If you're looking for a clever story driven experience, look elsewhere.

Rage starts out slow and ends rather bad, but it grows upon you as the game progresses. Id Software really nails the gunfights (as expected) and Rage is loaded with extra content such as races, card games and Easter eggs.

Napoleon: Total War is a massive strategy game where you'll get the opportunity to wage war in the pursuit of spreading your empire. It's not all rosy though. The battles can be cumbersome to micromanage and the game is hampered by the need to be historically correct. Nevertheless, this is another competent entry in the Total War franchise.

Two great classics with tons of extra material. They look great in HD, but where is Metal Gear: Peace Walker?

Very short flying game that still shines when it comes to control and entertainment value.

Gran Turismo 6 is a Gran Turismo XL, for better and worse. The core concept with gathering cars is still great fun and at the same time the amount of time you have to put into the game is poorly managed.

This is one quirky combination of a rhythm and strategy based game that is sure to test your patience. In order for you to truly appreciate the finer parts of the experience it helps if you normally appreciate really fine grained micromanagement of a typical Japanese flavor. You also need to be able to enjoy and handle the rhythm based gameplay. This might be too much of a niche experience for some, but for those who can appreciate the formula this is one fantastic title.

Hitman Go is an exciting transformation of the original concept. It's both thrilling and amusing to assassinate through a Ludo like structure. The problem solving is often advanced, but on a few occasions it's very rudimentary. Luckily one doesn't necessarily remember those scenarios. All this, combined with the game's delightful design, is why Hitman Go is a great game.

With charming graphics and a great control scheme, this title is a premiere example of WiiWare titles that are all but cheap hand-me-downs. Controlling your character by manipulating the wind is great fun and easy to understand. This is a short experience though, easily being beatable in one sitting. No replay value whatsoever lowers the score of an otherwise great title that is definitely worth it's price tag.

Soul Calibur V is for both new and experienced players. It makes it easy to for you learn the basics of the game, but if you want to win against skilled opponents then you better start practicing. Most moves are really cool, but juggles are somewhat overused and some characters are just horrible.

This is a street racing game with a whole lot of style and soul than the competition. There are a few major flaws though and these are enough to lower the overall experience from tripple-A to simply pleasant. Games released by Rockstar are generally polished and slick productions, and this is no exception.

The games themselves are pretty good, (especially Sands Of Time) but these games features only slight improvements i the graphics. As a result, the game still features pretty old and the controls and the camera could have been polished. But even if you won't feel like playing them all in one turn, it's a good deal for three good games.

Ninja Gaiden is back, bloodier and more brutal than ever before. With flawless controls and a superb fighting system this is truly a fantastic action game, just like its predecessors. Unfortunately some awkward camera angles punishes the player far too often and the overall design fails to impress. The lack of innovation and some annoying flaws makes this title a lesser game than its predecessors.

An excellent expansion and almost a must for those who appreciated Shadowrun: Returns. Action, atmosphere and environments contribute to a more engaging experience. Some of the most glaring misses from the predecessor has been fixed, but there are still some flaws. The text-heavy arrangement requires much of the player, but the reward is even greater for those who want to go deep in the world of Shadow Run.

This year's edition improves upon the former games; the cars feels heavier, the AI is smarter and the overall driving feels better. The game is not perfect - for example the career mode is somewhat boring. But the F1 series is getting better every year.

God of War 3 is still a spectacular and really good action game, but the remastering work here feels cheap to say the least.

This is a surprisingly deep and refreshing take on the now well populated genre of puzzle based downloadable games. With a deep upgrade system and simple yet entertaining game mechanics you'll get lots of entertaining hours in this title. Well worth it's asking price.
