Speed, pacing and quick reaction skills is what we've always associated with Sonic. And when you go for your first run in Sonic Unleashed everything feels just right. But then night comes and all of a sudden Sonic turns into a werewolf. And here's where ugly turns to bad. Sonic Unleashed becomes an uninspired action title, completely bereft of any finesse. When you're actually out running on the fast levels the game is pure fun, but the dull button mashing moments as a werewolf is enough to destroy the overall experience.

Tennis games usually turn out to be fantastic gaming experiences, well adapted to the entertainment form of gaming. Surprisingly Namco managed to utterly fail when moving Smash Court Tennis 3 from PSP to Xbox 360. The game still almost looks and sounds like a PSP game and the pacing is just horrible. The career mode where you can devlop you player is a nice touch although it doesn't come close to making this worth a buy.

Even though the beginning is filled with cliches, Daylight still manages to scare. At least for the first hour. After that the terror turns to indifference, the main character yells nonsense and the game mechanics become awful. Luckily you can connect the game to Twitch, which will allow other players to form your experience. Only then can Daylight become something more than a nonstop yawning.

A very slow party game. The majority of the mini games are well done and easy to learn and play, but all the waiting time is killing the pace and joy of playing. A group of players could have some fun, but if you're playing alone - stay away.

A half-hearted HD conversion of a half-hearted game. The problems with the main series are even more evident here as much has been reused to fill out the running time. The story seems more important than it is and the game's greatest strength - to switch between different personalities for Aveline, is regrettably mostly used as a gimmick.

Sony's online shooter SOCOM is back and helmed by a new developer. The main goal with Confrontation seems to have been to cater to the existing fan base, a goal they do meet in a sense. Unfortunately this also feels like a rushed project, riddled with numerous bugs and other signs of a premature launch. Even though fans of the series will enjoy this game it's hard to recommend this game amongst the plethora of competent shooters out there.

A poorly made game with horrible graphics, and most of the time it just feels like a Lego Star Wars Rip-off. But with a friend it can be quite entertaining, with the crazy story and all. That said, it's not engaging at all when you play by yourself.

Defiance may be an ambitious project. Linking an online action game with a TV-series is a smart idea but one that here mostly comes of as a mere gimmick. The story is unengaging and the action mediocre and monotonous. Not to say anything about the myriad of bugs that utterly destroys the experience.

In striving to be unique, this title actually manages to loose itself in the attempt. The puzzles are repetitive and the sense of progress is often lost in all the "unique" features of the game. There are better games in the genre available on the DS.

The Chase Begins makes an effort of being like the Lego City game for the Wii U. Sadly it is quite obvious that the 3DS can’t realise the LEGO universe as well. The city is in itself nice but empty and desolate. Discovering secrets is still as fun as always but the lack of personality and humour halts the Lego games otherwise great sense of immersion.

Dead Island Riptide walks the same path as its predecessor. Another tropical island filled with boring mission design and loads of filler time in the form of traveling between different locations. And like last time it is still quite entertaining. At least with a couple of friends.

Not much has happened over the twenty years that this series has been active and the latest installment offers the same entertainment multiplayer that we have been used to. Worms Battleground feels a bit old from the beginning, mainly because of the lack of new content together with some problems that should’ve been fixed by now.

This unexpected sequel still maintains the cool feeling of being a ninja, but all too simplistic levels and monotonous gameplay hampers the experience. The presentation can often be a bit busy, making it difficult for the player in hectic situations. There is basically no replay value at all so our advice is to wait until this title ends up in the bargain bin.

Boom Street plays like a digital version of Monopoly, starring Mario and his friends as well as Dragon Quest characters. But there is not much interaction in the game and you'd expect more from a full price retail game.

Goat Simulator is a joke gone too far. It’s utterly broken and hilarious at the same time. Unfortunately the lack of content makes the experience shallow and even the biggest goat fanatic will lose interest after a few hours.

At a first glance EA Sports UFC looks amazing but after playing the game for a couple of hours it turns out to be something else. The Career Mode is repetitive and the controls are too complicated. The clinch and ground game don’t work nearly as well as fighting from a standing position. As a result EA Sports UFC fails at delivering the complexity of MMA-fighting.

Blood Stone is, hands down, a bad game. It's a game we've all seen before, only better than this. It's too simple and doesn't add anything new to the genre, and the multiplayer's a mess. It isn't engaging at all despite good voice acting from Daniel Craig.

Despite having an interesting premise, with a space mission gone wrong on a desolated planet, the experience offered by Lifeless Planet ends up being a bit lacklustre. The graphics is on the weak side and do not do the varied environments justice, while the puzzle- and platforming sections are forgettable at best. A few peak moments could make the game pass among sci-fi enthusiasts, but I would have preferred a more compressed story.

Off the Record lets you return to Fortune City, but this time as Frank West from the first game. Sadly, Off the Record keeps much of the bad game design from its predecessors as horrible loading time, time limits and specific and sparse places for combining weapons. There are just too many game mechanics in this game that should not be allowed in a game made in 2011.

Mathematics made fun, with a smart presentation and steady learning curve.

Bad storytelling, an unfocused plot and horrible voice acting puts Inazuma Eleven GO in a bad light. And the inclusion of Fighting spirits makes the game on the pitch seem a bit unbalanced. But there’s a real incentive for recruiting and leveling new players and discovering moves and abilities. An interesting mix of football and RPG that could have been much better if executed with a bit more flair.

Charming, laid back and a bit addictive. But the setup and the game mechanics are beginning to feel old. And there's just too much talking.

Valiant Hearts is a really ambitious war game that has the most of the ingredients that have been missing in the genre so far. Most of the characters is really enjoyable and the graphics is fantastic. Unfortunately the mechanics are too basic and the story isn’t very well written.

Solving crossword puzzles work just as fine on the DS as it does on the kitchen table. It's a shame that the developers haven't utilized the digital platform the game is on though, just throwing crossword after crossword at the player with no variation or extra material is potential lost. It works, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Extremely few exercises and the controls are too sensitive. It feels like Coldwood has misunderstood the concept of workout games. Stay away from this one.

A puzzle game in a noir setting that sadly turns out pretty bad. The characters are flat and without personality, there's a lot of trial and error puzzles and the story is nowhere near interesting.

Messing around and being violent in a bear infested game world is fun, for a while. The same thing goes for the game's humor. When the initial wave of entertainment is over you're left with bad gameplay mechanics and repetitive content. Despite an initially entertaining tone this content is not worth the asking price.
