A very pretty and smooth beat 'em up with quite comprehensive character customisation options. The single player game modes are quite good, but what's with the lack of survival? [Feb 2012]

Interesting for one life cycle, but after the second Big Bang the universe offers nothing new. [Feb 2012]

Say explosions. Say big guns. Say over the top kick-ass action. Say Renegade Ops. The top-down vehicle-based shooter puts a smile on your face if you grew up watching the action films from the 1980s. Havoc, destruction and mayhem – renegade operations have never been this entertaining before. [Feb 2012]

Pretty impressive for a debut game. Excellent mechanics, I really wouldn't mind playing an enchanced PC-version. [Feb 2012]

A really hard game to grasp. It can't decide what it wants to be. Is it a hardcore RPG, a light-hearted action adventure or a serious and bloody action game? That said, once you come to terms with the overtly cute graphics and strange Nintendo-like dialogue scenes the action is fun and there is a lot to do. In the end it's a fun game, but be prepared to spend some time getting used to it. [Feb 2012]

FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction crashes and burns. Mediocre at best, unplayable at worst, the title disappoints in all the key areas that made the previous FlatOut games enjoyable. [Feb 2012]

Final Fantasy XIII-2 doesn't really improve on its predecessor. The story is weaker, the side quests are half-arsed and the monster catching has no noticeable effect on combat. A completely unnecessary sequel. [Feb 2012]

So violent and over the top gory that it's appropriate that it's moving to the cel-shading. It's also appropriate for its comic origins. In ways Darkness II feels quite dated. Luckily the options one has during combat (because of the four arms) make it an unique experience. [Feb 2012]

The amount of money a player has to spend in order to get all out of this game is ridiculous, especially when all of the content is recycled from older games. The multiplayer is pretty fun, though. [Feb 2012]

This German point'n'clicker is a prime specimen of a modern adventure game. The game is funny, beautiful and quite long, which can seldom be said of an German. The last quarter isn't as good as the rest of the game, but altogether Book of Unwritten Tales is really nice way to spend the weekend. [Feb 2012]

Interesting and understandable plot, less running in a dark forest but more action. New Alan shows how XBLA games should be done. [Feb 2012]

A technically sound, fun and varied show wrestling game. There's a lot of content and you can always create (or download) more yourself. [Jan 2012]

Gameplay-wise Kill Team is as simple as they come, but there's something mysteriously addictive and enjoyable in slaughtering thousands of space orks and having a few beers on the side. The different characters and combinations offer even some replayability value. [Jan 2012]

An intense and delightfully brutal co-op mode to a somewhat mediocre single player game. Success requires actual teamwork and occasionally even some planning, so it's not just mindless gunblazing. Also, the leveling system is a nice incentive to keep playing, although it could use more rewards such as a larger variety of weaponry. [Jan 2012]

An entertaining and hilariously violent 2D platformer slash action adventure. Gameplay-wise it doesn't do anything new, but what is does, it does it well. [Jan 2012]

Professor Layton comes again and the result resembles cloning. Although the puzzles, the plot and the setting are fresh, there's a feeling that I have seen this before. I didn't get bored, but I certainly understand the critique. [Jan 2012]

A potentially decent swimming game, but it has some lag related issues and bad design decisions, like the fact that you can't retry races on earlier seasons, which means you can easily get stuck at the start of the third season. [Jan 2012]

Even with Retro Studios helping the 7th installment is pretty much the same game. At minimum unfair elements like the blue shells should be corrected. Still even with the ultra-conservative approach multiplayer is satisfying. [Jan 2012]

Mario & Sonic: Third time is the charm. This olympic game is by far the best application published under the Mario & Sonic franchise. The mini games are well executed and the regular sports are topped off with fantastic dream sports. Although there's still not enough content for long lasting sporting mayhem, the presentation is far better than in the two previous installments. [Jan 2012]

It is an enjoyable genre crossover with bit of mech (trench) customization, looting, tower defense and shooting. [Jan 2012]

RAAM's Shadow offers more of the same old Gears action. If you like Gears, you'll like RAAM's Shadow. If you don't, you'll still hate it. [Jan 2012]

The season upgrade has a lot of minor tweaks but lacks important major changes. For example near post corner goal trick is still there and press meetings are still as boring as in real life. I would rather buy a DLC than a new game every year. [Jan 2012]

Offers entertaining SP-Duke campaign for us who are not hatelemmings. [Jan 2012]

A must buy and hopefully only the first of many map packs and add-ons! [Jan 2012]

The newest iteration of the Anno series builds successfully on the previous Anno games. Setting Anno 2070 in the future gives the game a whole new angle. Managing the economy and mastering trade and diplomacy are of course vital, but it is the Waterworld-esque setting that distinguishes Anno 2070 from its competitors. Will you go green and use renewable energy? Or do whatever it takes to generate enough energy for your colony – even if it means polluting your surroundings? [Jan 2012]

A pretty decent rally game, but lacks finishing touches especially with graphics and audio. The driving model regarding feedback could be also more refined. [Dec 2011]

A very beautiful, balanced and original puzzle platformer. [Dec 2011]

Practically a Tekken Tag Tournament HD, since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue is just a small taster and Tekken: Blood Vengeance is a B-class computer animation. That's fine, since TTT is still alive and kicking. [Dec 2011]
