Bakugan: Defenders of the Core features some decent fights but the overall experience makes it a real bore to play. The graphics are plain, the sound isn't properly mixed and the story is being laid out in front of you in a very confusing way. This makes this game a fans/children only. It can still be pretty entertaining to play versus a friend though.

The latest Assasins Creed improves much from the already great Assassins Creed 2 formula by making fighting elements more intense and fun while improving the stealth moments. The story and characters develop nicely throughout the game's progress, and it's a blast to play this rich and high-quality game and even though some small problems from the games predecessor haunts the game. It's the finest Assassins Creed yet.

EA Sports Active 2.0 is out to make exercise fun. And it does, there's a lot of diffirent moves and exercises to do and it's easy to make training programs and schedules of your own. But the Kinect-controls aren't working properly and can interrupt some of your sessions. The two player-mode doesn't feel very well thought-out. It's a fun alternative for exercise even though the pricetag is pretty hefty.

This might sell because it's Harry Potter, but the game itself is horrible. The developers tried to make a game more focused on action than before, which probably is the only good thing about this game. It's ugly, full of annoying bugs, has simple and stupid gameplay and the Kinect-support is a joke. Avoid this one.

It's cute, cozy and joyful. But as an adult, it's hard to oversee its limitations. For starters, it's repetetive. It doesn't have enough variety in the minigames to keep it interesting in the long run. But it's still surprisingly well-made, and an excellent game for kids.

Kinect Sports show us the possibilites of Kinect, but also the flaws of it. You can have some fun with the game if you are a group of people playing, but the game lacks in the necessary precision to make it a good game.

Kinect Adventures could have been that perfect part game for Kinect, instead, we get a game with only five game modes which doesn't work properly. The physical space required to play this game can also be quite a problem, and if you're two people playing you might have to rearrange the room a lot. There isn't much to do and after a while, it doesn't feel like there's even a purpose playing the game.

The console version of Sims 3 isn't bad, but it's better on the PC. The control scheme is surprisingly good, and that well-known Sims formula is as good and addicting as always, but the problem is, you have to wait so much longer for everything to happen on this version. There's a lot of unnecessary loading screens in this game, and the menus can prove slow sometimes. But it's a good game that should keep many playing for a long time.

Harmonix have boldly stepped into the world of dancing-games and lived to see it through. The game looks good and the controls work nicely with learning you a variety of dances. But the game itself would have turned out much better with an improved multiplayer. It's supposed to be a party game, but the fact that you can only dance one at a time drags this game down.

Your Shape Fittness Evolved is a decent Kinect Game. The concept is great, you see yourself practicing on-screen doing a variety of fun moves while exercising. The menus and interface are slick and good-looking, and it feels like a great showcase of what Kinect is capable of. But in the end, that's really the only thing it feels like. It lacks many gameplay functions and isn't as engaging as it could be.

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.

The latest game featuring Sonic is a mixed experience. It's the best Sonic-game since the 2D Sonic games and it's a fast, beautiful game with a lot of great levels that you can play many times over and over. But the controls can cause quite some problems and the multiplayer part isn't as good as it could have been.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta is in every way a competent addition to the series. The storyline is good, if not the deepest in the series, and everything from design to the graphics are quite spectacularly well for the platform. It should give you between eight and ten hours of play, so you definitely get more for your money this time.

The Shoot is a stylish rail shooter that both entertain and annoy. The actual shooting works fine, but some other movements are not always recorded as they should. Moreover, it's unnecessarily difficult to unlock the few courses that are available - especially for younger players. Thanks to the nice setting and an intelligent scoring system, The Shoot is still a good choice for fans of the genre.

WRC is a mediocre game which combines good driving in the more realistic direction with terrible presentation and a basic but well-functioning online mode. Despite some good points, it is a half-hearted production that falls short of competing with far better titles that are available for half the price tag.

The third 8 out of 10 in a row for the Professor Layton series. There's not much news here, but it's an extremely well-made adventures with great movies and a very charming style that is easy to fall for again and again. Problem solution is clever and the characters memorable. A must for puzzle fans who didn't get tired of the predecessors.

The main goal in this action RPG is to gather companions and then manage a kingdom. Lionhead has obviously wanted to simplify everything from Fable II, but the result is unnecessarily cumbersome and a lot of depth has been phased out in favor of ideas that does not feel particularly interesting. There is still a vibrant and atmospheric game world, and I had fun during the play through, but this could have been so much better with the right focus.

CyberConnect2 had it all. The storyline is good, the character gallery is impressive and all the powers and animations are just reused from the anime. But when they removed the free city exploration and have too many boring corridors. Without depth Shippuden 2 is just a game for the younger Naturo fans.

A crazy arcade game that's just too limited to be worth your money.

EA tries to show the war from an ordinary soldier's eyes, something that they managed surprisingly well. There are still some Rambo-moments, but overall the pace is relatively quiet. There are some problems with too many scripted sequences, but thanks to the superb atmosphere, one can see past the misses. In addition to the campaign is also an entertaining and well-functioning online mode, which, however, might well have had a bit more content.

If you didn't have a fun time in Dead Rising, things aren't going to change with Dead Rising 2. It is more of the same which doesn't have to be a bad thing.

The first hours are a bit too rocky and the controls are not very precise, the camera sometimes get stuck and the character Trip is an irritating wuss. The atmosphere, the characters, the design and the story is really nice though and the game deserves a play-through.

With your Mii characters you try to conquer 80 mini games, some of which are really fun. The better you succeed with them the better chance you have of winning the various game modes. What disturbs the overall impression is that everything is a bit too simple. The game is ugly, sounds bad and the game modes are not as funny as the genre colleague Mario Party.

If you've ever wanted to play as a war machine, in Front Mission Evolved you'll have your chance. It's very entertaining in the beginning to walk around and blow up enemies. But after a while the lousy programmed AI, bad level design and all the bugs comes to play. Only for robot lovers with a lot of patience.

It's a well-done MMA simulator with easy to use controls, but with a bit lacking career mode. Compared to UFC Undisputed there's a lack of known fighters, but EA Sports MMA should still be able to give the title-holder a match for MMA fans.

Fallout: New Vegas is a competent addition to the franchise, in many ways outshining Fallout 3 and in some falling a bit short. Obsidian have created a great rpg set in a vast world filled to the brim with content and a plot worth seeing through to end. Unfortunately the game is plagued with numerous technical issues which mar the experience. A great game once a patch is released.

Konami has finally found what they were missing during the last years - the magnificent gameplay. This year the players are smarter, the passes have more freedom and a lot of the game modes has been tweaked to the better. PES is back.

It's a rough game with room for improvement. The control and the camera are a bit crappy and Gabriel, the main character, is really boring. The graphics on the other hand are fantastic, the story is great and there is a lot of variation in the levels, characters and monsters.
