X-Men Origins: Wolverine lets us walk in Logan's shoes for a few days. And we like it. Although the game doesn't offer anything new to the genre, it is still worth playing. It has a few welcome gimmicks, like the feral sense and the ability to deal with enemies in many various ways, but the dull boss fights and occasional bugs lower the total score.

Whilst being colourful and sweet, Eternal Sonata has a few archaic gameplay elements that are totally unnecessary, such as insta-death battles and a slow-paced story. However, as far as role playing games go this isn't bad. It's just a pity that the game doesn't break very much new ground.

Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time is a good game, and sometimes a very good one at that, but apart from a few new time-centric puzzles on Clank's behalf it doesn't bring very much new material to the table. The titular Crack in Time mainly seems to lead to the previous PS3 games in the series. And all the PS2 versions before that. It's fun, but hardly inspiring.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame feels just like a new chapter in the saga with its well-penned script and excellent voice acting, but apart from the ghost wrangling the gameplay itself never manages to reach any greater heights. The graphics are average at best, and the repetitive 8 hour story isn't that exciting. However, the oodles of charm that the game exudes more than makes up for this. A must for Ghostbusters fans, but only mildly interesting for newcomers to the series.

Crystal Defenders is a good game with the advantages of being easy to learn, having lots of of maps and challenging gameplay.On the other hand, the graphics are a bit poor and if you're not in to this type of games it'll soon get a bit boring.

Seeing as neither Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2 or Guitar Hero: Rocks the '80s were released on the PlayStation 3 this compilation isn't too shoddy, especially since all the songs now work with the new peripherals. There are loads of classics to rock out to, but there is no excuse whatsoever why the game won't work with downloadable content from the store.

Traveller’s Tales take on Gotham's finest is a charming and humorous affair. The varied gameplay and extensive amount of collectables makes this a Batman game you don't want to miss.

Turtles in Time is not aligned with the present. The 90's arcade-style gameplay feels remarkably old, but the nostalgia and fun moments makes up the lack of new content. The game itself however, is well made and fast-paced. Fans and children of the 80's will love it, others will probably only find an ok beat'em up platformer.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a beautiful military simulator, with extreme draw distance and amazing attention to detail. But the multiplayer is lacking, with too few players and maps, and the single player campaign is a bit too short.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa's many and varied minigames manage to avoid falling into the pit that's usually reserved for license games, and actually delivers an enjoyable experience for both parents and kids.

A strong 5 or a weak 6? The end result doesn't really change the fact that - although I somewhat enjoyed playing Sacred 2 - it contains way too many bugs and is far too repetitive and unengaging to sparkle among the higher numbers. But if you really like role playing games it may be worth the effort.

On paper Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 seems to offer the player a lot of new things, but in all honesty only the putting has been overhauled. People who already have last years version needn't bother.

Bayonetta on the PS3 is a rather bad version of a pretty good fighting game. The graphics are both slower and less crisp than its Xbox 360 counterpart, but the worst thing of all is the incredibly long loading times between levels, between cut scenes, while entering menus - and even whilst picking up objects.

Gravity Crash is a modern clone of a couple of old retro games, such as Thrust from 1986. Clone-wise, it is flawless and great looking. When compared to modern games it lacks certain aspects that games today need. On top of it all, the multiplayer is not that good.

The Guitar Hero series is in dire need of new ideas, and the ones that are introduces in this version are far from enough. The uninspired track listing and meager importing possibilities from previous games makes this purchase less than essential.

Hyperballoid HD is more faithful to the long tradition of Pong games, but is slower and not as fun as its nearest competitor Shatter. Both games are surprisingly cheap, though – I see no reason why fans of the genre can’t own both.

Even though the difficulty can be a bit challenging, the soothing sounds and simple gameplay make this puzzle game worth trying out.

The game is better than both the latest movie and the first game, but it gets tiresome to just bash robots for hours on end. However, the control is both easy and advanced at the same time, so kudos for that.

Aliens vs Predator has locked its sights completely on James Cameron's movie Aliens from 1986, and makes a real effort to emulate the feeling in the game. And it succeeds to a certain degree in the marine campaign, with claustrophobic firefights and authentic sounds. However, the story is both extremely linear and pretty short, and all we're left with are the multiplayer modes, and though they may be fun they can't carry the entire game on their shoulders.

It's just a bit too childish with the LEGO pieces as band members, and the setlist isn't too inspiring either. Thankfully the songs can be exported, which makes sure that they can be played in Rock Band 2 instead.

Smash Cars on PSN is a solid and playable game but offers little more than all the other racing games out there. The lack och split screen and the neverending trick frenzy, that can be frustrating at times, make this game a mellow experience that is barely worth its price. Too bad, since it could have been against an adversary in the same couch.

The games inability to correctly capture the epic moments in the story of Jason is disconcerting, and stops the game from achieving great feats. The roleplaying mechanics are nice, but can't carry the entire game, making this effort a less than Herculean one.

Fuel was a bit of a disappointment. Yes, the world is large and looks good. Yes, there is a lot to do in this Guinness Book of Records-game. And yes, I like the notion of a free world to do whatever I want in. But the physics and the feeling lack several important pieces for this to be a great game.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a vastly inferior sequel to the amazing Challenge of the Warlords, and manages to alter several feature for the worse. The most disappointing things are that the tempo is much lower, the gameplay seems more haphazard and the hexagonal shapes detract from the strategic gameplay. Fun for newcomers perhaps, but the original is much more recommended.

Swedish developer GRIN had obviously lots of ideas and fresh thinking going on, but the realization is poorly executed and the game suffers from lots of glitches and bugs. It still manages to give you quite some fun, even though the main storyline is far too short.

Fans of motorbike racing will love this game, with its realistic settings and physics handling. But other players will find themselves torn between the arcade and simulator settings, that are either too easy or too unforgiving, making this a difficult game to get into. Online 12 player races are a blast though.

A perfect basketball game for newcomers thanks to the easy controls and the high quality graphics. The only main problem is the lack of gaming modes, as there are far too few of them for the game to last long enough.

There aren't that many events to play, but at least they're fun. However, the lack of modes and sports puts this game at a disadvantage.

With its simple Katamari Damacy-like game mechanics and cartoon-like visual style, Tornado Outbreak manages to entertain despite a relatively short campaign and underwhelming graphics.

Wet had the potential to be a hit, but despite its high quality appearance and well-crafted settings the game fails to engage the player, mainly due to the hideous controls.

Namco Museum Essentials is exactly what it says it is – a collection of 5 oldschool games and 1 remake. For this kind of money I would either like to have more classics or a few remakes, not a mix of the two. Thumbs up for the stamp system and online score boards, though.

Despite the slightly too high price tag for such an old game, Diner Dash is a fun puzzle game that suits perfectly every now and then.

Despite some clever game mechanics and levels, Polar Panic fails to engage for more than short periods at a time. Better controls and a bit more charm could have made this a really fun game, but in its current form it just feels like a competent near-miss.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a stable first person shooter, but as it borders more on action than on fear this must be seen as some kind of failure on the games part. The long loading times detract from the enjoyment as well.

Easily accessible arcade action, with hilarious multiplayer modes. Doesn't captivate the player for much longer than a few hours though, but it's fun while it lasts.

The core gameplay of King of Fighters XII is quite good, a thing which is quite hard to mess up nowadays. But the total content of the game is seriously dissapointing, having only an arcade mode and a poorly implemented online mode. There's not much extra material to unlock and the environments are few and dull. King of Fighters XII has not taken over the throne of beat 'em up games this time around, making it only appealing to hardcore KOF fans.

Battle of Forli consists of lots of fighting, not a lot of sneaking and one big question: what's the reason for not including this in the original game?

Despite the high budget Bionic Commando never manages to swing high enough, mainly due to the steep learning curve and troublesome controls. It's still quite a good game, just not as fantastic as we'd hoped.

When NIER dares to take risks and deviate from the norm it really manages to find its own voice. The boss fights, changes of perspective and parts of the story shine, but the experience is sullied somewhat by the uninspired graphics, repetitious gameplay and the slow tempo.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is quite a decent game that feels like one would expect life at Hogwarts to be like. However, the low difficulty, simple minigames and uninspired graphics detracts from the overall experience somewhat, and the jumps in the storyline requires prior knowledge of what's happened in the movie or the books. Fans might enjoy it, but perhaps they should wait until the price goes down a little first.

There are several interesting and exciting things in Tomb Raider: Underworld, but the game is still hindered by old-fashioned problems such as imprecise controls and a sketchy camera. The puzzles and new elements, such as the adrenaline moments and the motorbike scenes, make this a pretty and quite fun game to play, but Lara feels uninspired at times and could do with some more energy.

Wrestling in all of its glory, full of colours, muscles and spandex suits. Fans of the show are going to be thrilled when they see all the customization options and user creation modes, but the rather slow and sometimes long matches can be a bit off-putting. Smackdown vs Raw 2010 is nevertheless the best game in the series so far.

The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is marred by shoddy graphics, a meagre single-player experience and awkward controls. The only save is the online gaming and the Middle Earth setting, which is somewhat enjoyable.

Inferno Pool is fun for a while, but the lack of interesting game modes quickly makes this a shallow game with little replay value down the line.

Newcomers beware. If you're not familiar with 2K's basketball games you'll need to spend an awful amount of hours to get into shape. Apart from the online and quickplay modes there isn't much to look forward to, and this years iteration will only satisfy old fans of the series.

Apart from the jetpack moments, Dark Void doesn't bring a lot of new stuff to the table. The unengaging storyline, formulaic action and short game time makes it difficult to motivate choosing this game over any other high quality third person shooter that's been released lately. In 2010 there aren't any excuses for mediocracy.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh - Parts 1 and 2 is a decent looking game that is fun for a while, but ultimately it's let down by its repetitive nature. Easy pick-up-and-play and a two-player splitscreen mode can't save this rather shallow experience.

Terminator Salvation is an alright game in itself, but it's hardly worth the cost of a fully priced game, due to the fact that it can be completed in just a few hours, combined with the repetitive nature and uninspired graphics. Only real fans of the Terminator franchise need to buy this now.

Interestingly enough, G-Force manages to avoid many of the obvious traps that most license games fall into, and has a few interesting ideas and pretty nice graphics. But ultimately the game is far too repetitive, and there are many other suitable games for younger players out there.

SuperCar Challenge tries to fill the void between GT Prologue and the upcoming GT5, but is technically at least two years behind. Back then this game could have entertained gamers for hours and hours - now it's just an uninspiring racing game with Tiff Needell as one of its few advantages.

A monotonous platforming game full of vivid and epileptic colors. "Keeping it simple" was probably the developers motto and the only thing that has any type of emotional similarity to the movie itself is the title. Keep away from adults.

With its mix of both the settings in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, the latest 007 game manages to stand out from other license games. But only a little, as many other elements - like the graphics, gameplay and online settings - are nothing more than average.

If you're a fan of tricky action packed and past-faced tennis, then look the other way. Virtua Tennis 2009 is an arcade game, period. The game is to easy, extremely boring, and has very little content compared to its 2 year old predecessor. Add a useless net code and you've got yourself a huge $60 dollar disappointment.

An open-world game for kids, Planet 51: The Game doesn't have a lot of very serious problems, but being very dull and uninspired is of course the biggest flaw in itself.

Shaun White Snowboarding doesn't manage to be either a interesting simulation or a fun arcade game, and feels more like a hoverboard game than anything. The bleak graphics and shoddy physics don't help either, and the online modes are the only real saving grace.

This first version of Scene It for the PS3 doesn't have a lot of new material, and to make matters worse there isn't even an online mode or localized text. Spend your money on a Buzz! game instead.

With its Genji-like graphics and floaty controls, Dynasty Warriors doesn't impress. The haphazard controls and tedious gaming moments feel as old as the story itself.

Aqua Panic has some nice ideas, but unfortunately way too many flaws to keep you interested for long. With better balancing of the difficulty, a more visible cursor, less annoying music and more satisfying water physics this would be much easier to recommend.

This is a perfect time killing game. It is simple and relatively minimalistic, yet strangely entertaining if you overlook its core gameplay. Heavy Weapon was originally designed for the web, and it shows as it utilizes very little of the power the PS3 has to offer. Sadly, the web is really where this game belongs, not on a cutting edge gaming machine. Save your money, pal.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 will only entertain players that love Marvel's super heroes and the Civil War storyline. If you don't you'd do better to play a game with better controls and more challenging difficulty.

Frogger has indeed returned but not in such a good shape that it is worth putting money or effort in him. Frogger Returns needs better button controls and new multiplayer game mechanics and can't entirely rely on the old days. I would also very much appreciate if the original game came along the remake per default.

There is still some Wolfenstein magic in the air. It's a good shooter, with an extra touch of veil magic. The story may be a bit too short, but it's so fun to vaporize Nazis!

On the surface Afro Samurai is a masterpiece, but as soon as you take a closer look everything crumbles to pieces. Avoid this game unless you're a fan, and even if you are one you ought to be wary.

Cellfactor: Psychokinetic Wars is not a bad game, but we've seen it all before. I have a hard time imagining that anyone will still be playing this online in a few months. There are better online-FPS on PSN (Warhawk, for example) and even though Cellfactor is affordable, it is still nothing special for the hardcore FPS fan.

As long as Wheelman focuses on car chases it does great, but as soon as you step out of your car the game turns into an embarrassing rip-off of Grand Theft Auto IV.

NHL 2K10 is a great arcade game if you just want to play a around with your friends, but once you get deeper into the different playing modes the flaws really start to show.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is a mix of shallow fighting-mechanics, clumsy control and a horrible camera, and caters only to the most hardcore Dragon Ball fans, but even those may come away disappointed.

Where the Wild Things Are is a great book and movie, but it's also a dull video game. The people at Griptonite Games do not seem to put much effort in making our childhood hero Max’ adventure an epic one. This is all kinds of ugly, repetitive and boring.

It's quite fun during the 2-3 hours this game lasts, but it's not worth the money. And the badly upscaled images are just terrible.

Trash Panic looks fun at first glance, but is mostly repetitive and annoyingly hard. The environmental angle is appreciated, but cannot alone save the game. There are several brain challenges and other games in the PlayStation Store that give you more game for the buck than Trash Panic.

Sonic is back, but unfortunately the developers didn't dare to let him star in a all-running racing game, but insisted on adding a superfluous story and roleplaying elements. Could we get a pure Sonic experience next time, please?

James Cameron's Avatar: The Game shows that you can spend too much money on looks, and not enough on story, controls or gameplay. All the parts are there, but they're not just connected in a coherent fashion.

The game starts with a good Contra feeling, but after a while the flaws become apparent. The controls aren't intuitive, the gameplay is too repetitive and far too short, and I can't even find the humour that this game is supposed to be filled with.

Many parts of this game seems to be rushed during development. Poor controls and that camera is pretty annoying. On the good sides are the epic music and those great voice actors.

As demoscene veterans we we're intrigued to see what .detuned would bring to the table, but seeing as this really only is a fun graphic equalizer we were appalled to see that there isn't a demo mode where the program moves automatically to the players own music. A wasted opportunity.

Despite the fact that the game is based on a bad movie, Double Helix have managed to create a game that's even worse. The graphics and controls go head to head to see who's the worst, but to be honest they both equally awful.

Thexder Neo is a boring remake of a very outdated game that did not reach Europe in any larger scale. I can't find any reason whatsoever to want to p(l)ay this platform based robo-shooter and had to struggle just to find the will to play again after my first death.

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is somewhat funny, but not fun. A weak game engine, stupid AI and repetitive gameplay cannot save humour - no matter the quality and depth. Matt Hazard is a Duke Nukem copycat that fails to deliver. Just as the original Duke Nukem, as it turned out in the end.

Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao's price tag is far too high for the quality it brings, and the difficulty level is off the charts. There are just far too few positive traits in this fighting game to make it worth purchasing.

Pandoras Box has truly been opened by Spark Unlimited. The graphics are sub-par, with immense slowdowns and juttering refresh rates. Also, the online community is nowhere to be found, rendering the multiplayer experience useless.

Childrens games have their own merit, but it's unacceptable to dumb down the controls without adding charm, varied gameplay or even some kind of gimmick. Bolt just manages to be an uninspired button-masher with last-gen graphics, and there are many other games out there that suit a younger audience than this.
