This remake of the 1984 Karateka game revolves around a simple concept: block an enemy's karate chop and dish out some of your own. Looks fun and is fun, but also way too simple. Bummer. [March 2013, p.88]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Every episode Connor gains a new power and the first one you'll get your hands on is the power of the wolf. With this power Connor can become invisible or summon a pack of wolves. This means that you will be doing a lot of eavesdropping missions, which are not very entertaining. [March 2013, p.92]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Don't be fooled by the novelties, they are just simple gimmicks in disguise. Something that really defines Revolution. Don't get us wrong, it does its best to maintain a high standard, but sometimes trying is not enough. [March 2013, p.93]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Every overly patriotic football fan - is there any other kind? - dreams about winning the European cup with his own country. In Euro 2012 that dream begins in the finals, since the qualifying rounds have been mysteriously forgotten. [June 2012, p.102]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Wrecked: Revenge Revisited is the spiritual successor of Mashed, a top down racer for the PS2 and a source of loads of fun back in the day at OPM. Even today the frantic gameplay still amuses, especially if you bring a few friends along for the ride. [May 2012, p.86]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

The focus of this DLC is mainly on combat, which is a shame, since Mass Effect is more than just combat, but it simply doesn't show in Omega. There are a few new enemy types, but that hardly justifies a buy. [January 2013, p.95]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Of Orcs and Men is all about two greenskins whose mission it is to kill the human emperor to free the Orcs of slavery. An interesting set-up, considering these two greenskins are no sissies. The dynamic between them reminded us of Kane & Lynch. [December 2012, p.81]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

There is a lot of reading material if you are interested in some of golf's most legendary feats, but you can stow away any hopes of seeing such performances in the game itself. Tiger Woods PGA Tours seems to be desperate for the next generation. [May 2013, p.92]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Killzone only started turning heads when part two came around, so it's no surprise that the eight year old part one is no more than an interesting history lesson coated with HD smudges of paint, rather than a must have for shooter fans. [December 2012, p.92]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Because new weapons are found instead of bought, every bolt you collect is used for upgrading your base with turrets, shields and mines. Despite all that carnage, it is still necessary to jump into the fray yourself most of the time. [January 2013, p.78]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Still, Book of Memories is not a bad game. There are elements of Catherine, Persona and even the classic Gauntlet to be found. Just don't except a riveting horror experience, because that is not what Book of Memories is or tries to be. [December 2012, p.77]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Operation Raccoon City is an endless chain of bland and repetitive shootouts filled to the brink with zombies who are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. Rooms seem to be randomly filled corpses, Lickers and commandos, all too dumb to even tie their own shoes. [April 2012, p.72]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Perhaps the biggest flaw is the lack of a sense of speed. You know there has to be something wrong when you're asking yourself whether the car is moving forward or the road and its surroundings are moving backwards. [September 2012, p.76]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Destroying stuff is the key element here. Unfortunately it isn't always clear if that one concrete pillar will break or bend. The destructible buildings are indicated with big, inviting signs, but only when you're boosting. [May 2012, p.76]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Ironically, the cover with the main cast's faces cut out of the picture represents the overall feel of Fuse perfectly: the weapons steal the show in this personality-lacking game. Those who crave for a fresh co-op experience will have some fun, but not for long. [July 2013, p.82]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

After you finish the game – which you can do in about four hours – you can replay the special sections with Bobby, Haddock and all kinds of vehicles in the Challenge mode. But there is more fun to be had in the Haddock mode, which drops you in a dreamlike world. [December 2011, p.98]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

A good looking and side scrolling beat'em up that lets you take on wave after wave of enemies as a warrior, ranger, shaman or mage. Too bad the characters feel to similar to warrant multiple playthroughs. [May 2013, p.97]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

The idea of having two synchronous time periods that influence each other is a good one, but there are too many shortcomings that make Edge of Time a frustrating experience. The story is told in a confusing way, the graphics are bland and so is the overall action. [Nov 2011, p.68]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Remember how you got shot in the head at the beginning of New Vegas? Well, that bullet was actually meant for the courier Ulysses. Sounds good, but it actually isn't. [Nov 2011, p.97]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

It takes some time getting used to all the different sports, but once you've mastered them, winning becomes incredibly easy. The first time you set a new world record is thrilling, the third time in the same discipline, not so much. [July 2012, p.84]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Convince three friends to buy God Mode, because on your own it gets old real fast. Mainly because it does not offer you that much content. It all about shooting the same enemies in the face over and over again. [June 2013, p.91]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Lemmings is the big stinker in this collection. This puzzle classic will always be a good game in its own right, but trying to control the suicidal Lemmings with a PlayStation Move actually makes you want to kill yourself out of pure and utter frustration.

We would like to write that Sumo Digital has successfully transferred the PS3 version to the Vita, but alas, a whole list of shortcomings prevents us from doing so. The broken AI and broken controls ensure that you'll never cross the finish line in one piece. [April 2012, p.100]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

An exceptionally colourful platformer in which you control a groovy dead rabbit. The game often surprises you with its visual style and funny cut scenes, but drops the ball here and there when it comes to precise controls and navigation. [November 2012, p.93]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

A tower defence game, but with a twist! You can also send out troops on the battlefield. Which makes things a bit messy. Add to that some busy visuals and you have a game where it's very hard to see what the hell is going on. [April 2013, p.89]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Arkham City is a great game, and the addition of the new character Nightwing through this DLC gives you an excellent reason to play through it all over again. You just want to spend a few hours with Nightwing? Then check out the two new challenge maps. [December 2011, p.101]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

This feels like an educational game because the main theme is all about saving nature. You play as two clouds that have to clean up the polluted Okabu-world. The art design is quite attractive, but the puzzles that you need to solve are too simple to be interesting. [December 2011, p.101]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

No, don't worry, you didn't miss the 1941 previous parts. Dogfight 1942 is an arcade flightsim set during the second World War. Unfortunately the missions are lacking variety. So you'd better let this one just fly by. [December 2012, p.92]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

This game is aimed at players aged 3 to 6, so the protagonists are all cute little animals like a rabbit, a panda and a turtle. There are several minigames that can be played with the Sixaxis or the Move, but only the latter is actually fun to do. [January 2012, p.88]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux

Yet another twin-stick shooter involving brainless, brain-eating monstrosities. All Zombies Must Die tries to change things up a bit by throwing in RPG-elements en co-op, which unfortunately you can only play locally. [February 2012, p.100]- Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux
