    A fine collection of the three PlayStation 2 episodes of the Prince of Persia franchise. This collection contains the complete games, HD graphics and of course Trophies.

    A new part in the long WWE Smackdown vs. Raw franchise. It’s got simple gameplay and many of the modes from last year including a few major improvements. It’s a shame the graphics are a little bit poor.

    Since you're essentially buying the same game Capcom has already released twice, owners of the PS3 version won't miss anything essential skipping this. While this is in fact a great handheld fighting game, the touch features throw away any challenge and any skill needed to conquer the stages.

    Rochard is a fun game, though it is hardly a surprising one. Developer Recoil Games mostly plays it safe and manages to deliver a game that is both accessible and confusing at the same time. The graphics are fine, but the real fun lays in John 'Duke Nukem' St. John's voice acting.

    This game is a collaboration between a few great developers, but the quality isn't that we were hoping for. The gameplay is repetitive, the graphics aren't really good, the humor is a bit cheesy and the swearing is a bit too much. Besides that the game can be fun to play, but that says everything.

    This is a great challenging fighting game, but the unforgivable difficulty makes it not the most accessible one. Novice players will find themselves lost at some times, but fans will enjoy this considerable improvement over King of Fighters XII. One question though: what's the use of a story mode when there is no story?

    Long, unskippable cutscenes, an irritating camera and overall easiness keep an otherwise great co-op experience from reaching the top.

    This is a nice puzzle- and platform game. You are playing with a blob that has been captured by an evil professor and you have to escape from his laboratories to save yourself and the other blobs. The game contains good gameplay, nice graphics but the audio is a bit annoying.

    Band Hero is a pretty nice game with the intention of reaching a more varied audience than Guitar Hero. It’s got a lot of fine and popular tracks. The game is also a little bit easier and the graphics are pretty colorful. A game for everyone, but die-hard Guitar Hero fans can better stick with the Guitar Hero franchise.

    Another LEGO game with almost the usual gameplay. The graphics aren't improved in the last few years, so the game isn't really bringing anything news. It isn't bad, but it's time for some new elements. A decent game, but it could have been a lot more.

    This game isn’t a game for the big audience; most of the players wouldn’t like the old gameplay. But if you are a die-hard or retro fan, then After Burner is a nice arcade game. Once again, the game isn’t for everyone, but for the right people it will deliver serious fun.

    For those who haven't played Overkill on the Nintendo Wii: this is a nice little zombieshooter you won't regret fishing out of the bargain bin. For those who have: you'll find a slightly better looking version of the same game here, with a few extras that don't manage to add anything significant.

    WWE All Stars is a complete over the top spin-off of the usual WWE Smackdown vs. Raw games. You can play with current legends and also with old legends in the singleplayer and exhibition mode. The gameplay is pretty easy and really fun, a cool title.

    This is a fun little game, consisting of a rather large collection of minigames. It gets repetitive, though, and an annoying save system doesn't do anything to help save the day.

    What? Are you sure this is the 2012 version and not its predecessor? Seriously? I never would have guessed.

    The move controls are a bit 'hit and miss' and having to go back to the XMB every time you want to play another part of this compilation is a major annoyance, but other than that these are some incredibly fun puzzle games.

    A nice sequel of the previous one, but the game got a few issues. The camera is annoying, it has repetitive gameplay and the audio is a little bit on the basic side. On the other side, has the game nice graphics and a lot of playable characters.

    Cars 2: The Video Game is all about racing on circuits and to win by irritating other players with different weapons and more. It is fun for the younger gamers, but the difficulty can be really easy and hard at the same time. There isn't a real balance and the speed of some cars are pretty low.

    This new part in the franchise does contain a few new fine features, but the engine is getting old and the Road to Wrestlemania isn't very interesting. Eventually every fan can have a lot of fun with this game, but if you own the 2010 part, then you don't have to buy this new one.

    It's not the best HD Collection out there, but it shows us why this series is still around after all these years. Devil May Cry 2 is still a major disappointment, but one part 1 and 3 more than make up for it.

    This new part in the franchise is a fine one. You can play the whole game with two players in the co-op mode. Besides of the shooting fun, the game still has a few problems. The graphics aren’t really good, the story doesn’t really mean anything and the game is too short. Army of Two: The 40th Day is a fun game, but it’s got to many technical difficulties.

    You play with a blob in de Blob 2 and you have to paint everything in the levels with different colors to defeat the evil guy that has transformed everything in a sad gray and ugly world. The gameplay is pretty good, but the camera isn't which also count for the useless co-op feature of the game.

    Battling chickens and penguins is a lot of fun. The only problem with it is that it is too easy. That and the overall lack of originality make for a mediocre game that does not stand out among its contemporaries.

    The installments on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were great this year, but the one that sticks behind is the PlayStation Portable version. The game does need a lot of improvement. Besides of that the game is fun to play.

    LocoRoco Midnight Carnival got a few improvements compared to the last part. But is isn’t really a new game but more an expansion. The game is still pretty cool and a well start for new players. Veterans have seen all this before except the few improvements. Those aren’t really shocking after all.

    Another LEGO game with the same old gameplay. The game doesn't do anything new, but it's fun because of Jack Sparrow, who's always funny. The humor of Jack Sparrow combined with the LEGO humor is a great combination. A fun game for everyone.

    A fun puzzle game with true challenging levels. The gameplay is pretty simple and the graphics are mediocre and the audio is annoying but besides of all that Funky Lab Rat is a solid game.

    Diversity rarely makes or breaks a game, but a lack of options certainly hurts.

    EA's first attempt at a tennis game doesn't manage to live up to its main concurrents, the main letdowns being a lack of players, an uneven difficulty and incredibly repetitive commentary tracks. A third game in the series might fix most of these problems though.

    Gravity Crash is a real traditional arcade shooter that is a little bit different than all those similar games you can find on the internet. It’s fun to play, but the story is crap and you can’t play the game online. It is a nice PSN game, but we’ve seen a lot, lot better.
