This is what Mario on a Sony platform would feel like… without the groovy moustache (and limbs for that matter). It's a shame Ubisoft did not include the co-op though and why implement touch options when it's more practical to use the traditional control scheme?

One of the best racing games this year. The game has an extreme good feeling of speed, it feels realistic and to complete the campaign will take weeks. Need for Speed: SHIFT was a good game, but this is a lot better because Slightly Mad Studios did listen to the feedback of the community.

Another great game of Tim Schafer. It has really great humor, nice and original gameplay. A brilliant soundtrack and pretty nice graphics.

A fine PSP game on the PSP. The minigames were better on the Nintendo DS, but the PSP version is graphically better than the Nintendo DS version. Buy this part if you don’t own a Nintendo DS. Do you have a Nintendo DS? Buy the Nintendo DS version.

The concept of Patapon still stands like a house. The gameplay is more of the same with important but little improvements to make it fun to play for the third time. The gameplay is very deep, the graphics are nice and the audio can be really annoying, but sounds good at the same time. The third Patapon game is just like the two previous ones - a fine game.

NHL 11 is more of the same, because the game plays exactly like the previous parts. The game contains a lot of different modes and has a lot of small improvements which make it a little bit better than NHL 10. Visually it looks stunning, the soundtrack and audience are good to listen to and the gameplay is as always fantastic.

This game has a few points that makes this game a must buy for every Final Fantasy fan. It has a lot of gameplay, well known characters, good story and a lot more.

DeathSpank is a great mix of different game types. The game has RPG elements in it, but is in its base a hack and slash title full of stupid humor. If you're looking for an original PlayStation Network game with a lot of different possibilities and a long duration of gaming, then DeathSpank is a great choice.

The short singleplayer campaign is disappointing, but we've come to expect that from the Battlefield franchise. Online this third iteration is still among the best shooters out there, even though we feel like DICE has made too much changes in an attempt to attract hardened Call of Duty fans.

It's definitely not for everyone, but Catherine is a unique and challenging game that will leave you impressed and wanting more, even though you will likely have experienced quite a lot of frustration by the time you reach the end credits.

This new episode takes you to Ibiza instead of Hawaii and the gameplay is as usual extremely grotesk. The game is full with exotic cars, has a lot of roads to race on and of course fun! This time you can do more with the racing-clubs and there is also a pretty decent level-system. Did you like the first part? Or are you looking for a fine racing game, then Test Drive Unlimited 2 is the one to get.

One of the best Vita launch games and the best puzzle game of 2012 so far, period. It's a shame the touch controls don't always work as well as they should, but overall this is a minor complaint.

Who wouldn't like the powers The Darkness has to offer? Okay, maybe our priest wouldn't. The Darkness II provides even more gruesome and gory fun than its predecessor and is overall the better game. Unfortunately, the often underwhelming enemy AI and the insultingly short length of the campaign somewhat spoil the fun.

DJ Hero is brand new in the music game genre and at its first arrival directly good. The gameplay is different and challenging but also fun. The game has got a brilliant soundtrack, a lot of playable modes and you can also use your Guitar Hero controller in cooperative gameplay.

Outland is a mix of different good elements from different games. The graphical style is a bit floating, the audio sounds magical and the gameplay can be really tough but is good. Every gamer that will enjoy playing a pretty hard platform game must buy Outland.

Marvel Pinball is a decent pinball game with a few different pinball machines, completely in the style of Marvel characters. The game is easy and nice to play and if you like to play pinball, this is the game to get. It's only a shame there aren't really much different tables to play on.

A challenging fighter with smooth controls and stylish visuals. You won't find a story worth telling here, but we have yet to find a Blazblue fan who gives a damn. Buy this if you have a Vita and like fighting games.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is like the previous games once again a great game. It has a few new great features like the True Aim and Focus features. The gameplay is the same like the last part with the new options and that makes this game great. The graphics and audio are also very good and the Ryder Cup is a great new tournament.

The sequel of Dissidia: Final Fantasy is also a great game. The soundtrack is awesome, the time you need to complete the game is huge and it looks graphically great. But it's kind of strange the game doesn't offer to play with the original voice-acting, the English voice-acting isn't really great and the story could have been a bit better.

This part hasn’t really changed with the last one. The gameplay is almost identical (and that means good). The biggest difference is the public that looks almost real. Only the menu is a little bit annoying.

Pro Evolution Soccer is finally back with a good game after a few years of pretty bad titles. The game contains a brandnew pass systeem that works great and the overall pace is a bit faster. The Master League is great again and now also playable online where you can earn money to buy new soccerplayers to reach the top of the competitions worldwide. A great game!

After a great First part, it's time for a new one. This new PixelJunk shooter game delivers great gameplay, nice co-op features and a lot of colors in different levels. Every fan will enjoy this sequel.

Rage is an amazing game, but we can't help but feel that it doesn't reach its full potential. While the shooting and the racing often works brilliantly, a rather weak story, repetitive missions and a lot of graphical errors ultimately make for a disappointing game.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a great game with a brilliant soundtrack. You can play the Quest mode where you have to unlock special powers to destroy a monster that has locked away the demigod of the Rock. Completely nonsense story wise, but nice to play. If you like the franchise, you can't miss this one.

This is a big game, both on- and offline. A memorable and challenging singleplayer campaign is made even greater by its engaging story, while the shifting mechanic makes for some truly unforgettable moments. Here's one purchase you won't regret!

Now here's a nice surprise. This may not have been the most hyped game out there, but it delivers in almost every way. A fresh and original style, interesting gameplay… El Shaddai does everything right, except for the way it tells its story.

A great adaptation of the console version. At least 800 cars, more than 40 tracks and great graphics. It’s kind of sad the career mode isn’t in this game, but the challenges and the quick race options are a nice replacement.

This new Tiger Woods game has finally The Masters tournament included. The gameplay is as usual fantastic and the small improvements are making the game better than last year. This is one of the best golf games you can get this year.

This is the last part in the trilogy and has a few new gameplay possibilities. You can use the great new Hooverboots, explore space with your spaceship and you need to find Clank. A great adventure and a truly worthy closing of the trilogy.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is a great new part in the franchise. It comes a little bit late, but the PlayStation 3 version got a lot of extras like a kind of multiplayer. The action is great and graphics are stunning. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is a very good game for the PlayStation 3.

Finally the third part in the franchise is coming to the west. Even though it is a bit different then Western games, it's still a very good game. It's got a great fighting system, a strong story and a lot of hours to play because of the many side-quests. Yakuza 3 is mostly like it's two predecessors, but nevertheless it still contains at the same level of quality fun and its Japanese oriented gameplay.

A game that can be compared with the PlayStation 3 version. It’s got all the player licenses and stadiums. A very great scala of cups and modi. The perfect soccer game for quick sessions.

A few framedrops here and there, a lack of music tracks and the fact that this is basically the same game as FIFA 12 may be drawbacks. But this is definitely the best football game on any handheld so far and the Vita touchscreen proves an ideal substitute for the normal button controls.

You won't find a lot of innovation here, but the same formula still stands its ground. Den defense is a bit underwhelming and the graphics engine starts showing its age, but nevertheless fans should not hesitate to pick this one up.

Tekken 6 is finally here and the game is good again. The animations are brilliant, customizing is finally interesting and it’s got a lot of gameplay options. Only the Scenario mode wasn’t really necessary.

R.U.S.E. is kind of unique game. This is by far the greatest RTS game on a console in a sense of controls. The game works great with the DualShock 3 and the PlayStation Move and the gameplay on itself is quite different from other RTS games.

Darksiders is a really cool game. You play War, one of the four Horseman of the Apocalypse, and you take him to the fight between heaven and hell. You can use a lot of weapons to fight and on the other side you have to find solutions for the puzzles. This is one of the better games to begin 2010 with. Besides the fine and great gameplay, the audiovisual part is pretty strong.

Although F1 2011 is visually rather underwhelming and suffers from excruciatingly long loading times, this is still the best F1 game yet.

Explosions, explosions, explosions… You either love them or hate them. If you belong to the first category, than this is your game. If not, well, then you're better off elsewhere.

This new part in the famous Call of Duty franchise takes you on a rollercoaster ride again. The singleplayer is full of action and the multiplayer is great. The new features like the Wager Matches are great and the gameplay is as usual fantastic.

Now here's a nice surprise! A puzzle game with smooth controls, slick graphics and more than the necessary amount of variation. It's a little short, but don't let that stop you from buying it.

This Transformers game is really great. It's got many details, a great multiplayer, two different stories and fine gameplay. Fans of the movies and the whole franchise can buy this game without any problem. This is probably the Transformers game everyone was waiting for!

If not for the often failing SIXAXIS controls, this would have been the perfect puzzle experience. Simple, yet challenging gameplay complemented by a great visual style and ditto soundtrack make Mercury Hg a continuation of form for Archer MacLean.

EA Sports MMA is truly a great game. The gameplay is very good and that's because of the great controls. The graphics are the best you can get and the online possibilities are really cool. The game overall is good, but the loading times and the trainings can be a bit annoying.

It's not as deep as Street Fighter IV or the Mortal Kombat reboot and the story mode is just awful. There's still, however, a lot of fun to be had with this game and the character creation mode guarantees hours and hours of extra playtime.

This game has a good story and a unique setting. The emotional bond between Monkey and Trip is pretty good and the gameplay is a bit basic, but fast and nice to play. If you like good stories in games with easy gameplay and overall a great adventure, than Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is your game.

Race trough an apocalyptic setting where every building is collapsing and the ground is tearing apart because of earthquakes. By far the most intense MotorStorm game in the franchise with a great singleplayer and very cool new multiplayer elements.

Mario Kart, but for adults. You can race in different licensed cars and you can use power-ups against the other drivers. The game contains a lot of fun and guarantees lot’s of hours of gameplay. The singleplayer is cool and also the multiplayer is quite fun. If you’re looking for a cooler Mario Kart, than Blur is your game!

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 is a great game. It's got different storylines that you're going to play trough with a lot of dogfights and new elements. The game is for the most part good, only the graphics aren't really great and it's kind of strange that you can die during a cut-scene.

ModNation Racers is a great game to customize your own characters, carts and tracks. If you liked LittleBigPlanet with its possibilities to create your own stuff, then you will love this game. The possibilities are huge and besides of that, the game contains a lot of fun in the single player and multiplayer. Only the loading times are a bit annoying, but ModNation Racers is still a great game.

This game is actually three games in one. There are three different characters and all of them have an own perspective at the story. That means, if you play with all three of them, you have a lot of gameplay. The game on its own is pretty nice, the gameplay is nice and that means that this part is a good one in the franchise.

One of the most beautiful PlayStation Network games. With traditional graphics, an interesting story and really good and fine gameplay. One of the best games on the PSN to buy.

A game that was a surprise. The gameplay is very variable and you can play this game for more than 25 hours. Strong gameplay, good cut-scenes, and a great offline multiplayer. You can also play the game online, but there aren't a lot of people and the game also has a issue with the loadingscreens as they are way too long.

This new Dragon Age game is a really good one. The game continues where the original game ended. This time you play with Hawke and multiple team members against the Darkspwan who are back to take over the world. A great Action RPG with a very strong story and gameplay, only the graphics aren't really improved than the previous part and that could have been obviously a lot better.

The amount of destruction, the very interesting City creator and overall smooth controls make Ridge Racer: Unbounded a great game for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

There's no Remix modus and that's a shame, but this is by no means a gamebreaker. NBA Jam: On Fire is an accessible and incredibly fun game which will stay in your PS3 for a long time.

It may be a bit too accessible – even an unskilled player can perform the most awesome moves by randomly twiddling the right analog stick – but in the end this is one hell of a football game.

Modern Warfare 3 still has the great, spectacular gameplay the Call of Duty series has become known for and Survival is a fantastic addition to an already very attractive package. It's just that Infinity Ward doesn't manage to surprise us anymore and graphically... well, let's just say that the engine starts showing its age.

A cool story draws you into this game and won't let you go until you've seen how it all ends. Beyond that, Binary Domain is a sweet shooter with intuitive controls and a nice, Japanese atmosphere. It's not all gold though, since a lack of in-game depth and a lackluster online multiplayer keep this game from reaching the top.

Oh sweet originality, how I have missed you. Children of Eden's unique style and exciting gameplay make for a fantastic, spacing experience. The short length and the lack of multiplayer options are the only downsides to an otherwise fantastic game.

Just Cause 2 is huge. It has a big world to play in, you can drive, fly or sail to your destination and while you are on your way to get there you can do a lot of crazy stunts. This game is fun, really fun, with nice gameplay and graphics. The audio isn’t bad, but could have been better. If you like open world games and fun, then Just Cause 2 is surely a game for you!

This game is a really good RPG with a few unique possibilities. It’s got a big story, a lot of gameplay and really good audio. Only the graphics aren’t the best we’ve seen on the PlayStation 3 and this version also got annoying frame rate problems. Besides of that, Dragon Age: Origins is a good title.

The three Sly Cooper games in HD, with Trophies, 3D support and PlayStation Move support for a reasonable price in the stores. This is one of the best PlayStation 2 remakes you can get!

The previous game was pretty hard and really funny; this is the same case with Dead Rising 2. The gameplay is completely focused on the many ways to kill the zombies and that is simply cool. If you like the franchise, just get this one, you won't be disappointed.

A great game which is better than the last version. It has even more gameplay and modes in comparison with last year. It also has outstanding and deep gameplay.

The first Ace Combat game on the PlayStation 3 does not disappoint. On the contrary, Namco Bandai delivers an incredibly satisfying game with an engaging storyline, a lot of variation and most of all: a huge amount of equally spectacular and accessible dogfights.

Crysis is still a fantastisch First Person Shooter, but it starts to show its age. The disappointing enemy AI, the sometimes problematic framerate and the amount of pop-up make for a game that doesn't score quite as high on console as it did on PC.

The comeback of the funny duo. The gameplay is pretty much the same as the PlayStation 2 games, but with new features like flying. You can also play with Daxter when he’s transformed into the Dark Daxter. This game is a good PSP game, but the controls could have been better and the game is pretty short.

This is by far the best game in the franchise. You will have a blast playing through Saints Row: The Third and the so-called funniest game ever delivers on its premise. The graphical mediocrity is a shame, though.

Even though NFL 12 doesn't exactly outclass its predecessor, It's still better than NFL 11. Improved drafting and the new collision system are fine additions to the NFL legacy, but some more changes would have been nice.

Fight in a lot of important WWII battles in the UK, Russia and more. A nice flight game with a lot of immersion.

This HD remake is a perfect opportunity to get the game if you missed the game on the PlayStation 2. A pretty good game with a unique setting and fine gameplay. Even in 2011 the gameplay is great and the HD graphics are looking awesome.

One of the most popular PlayStation 3 franchises now on the PlayStation Portable. It has everything from the PlayStation 3 versions in another environment. One of the better PSP games of this year.

A pretty good online game. There is no lag, it’s got a lot of players and there are huge maps. If you play this for the first time, you have to learn the basics of the gameplay. Once you’ve got them under control, you can play MAG with a lot of fun. Only the graphics aren’t brilliant, but in this case it doesn’t really matter. Zipper Interactive delivers once again a pretty good game.

Mini Ninjas is for the little gamers. The game has a lot of great humor and a very interesting visual style. But the missing cooperative option is a great miss.

SKATE 3 is a very cool game. It has got a lot of challenges in a huge city and fine but difficult gameplay. If you are looking for a realistic skateboard game, then SKATE 3 is the one you must go buy. The humor is great, it plays great, the audio is cool and graphics are nice.

The gameplay of Vanquish is great, you play as Sam Gideon in a special suit in space. You have to fight against robots and you can do this with a lot of different weapons. You can also slide with your knees from cover to cover and that's pretty cool. Vanquish is a great purchase, but the game is pretty short, too short and it doesn't have any other modi besides the singleplayer.

The new part in the UFC franchise is a great game, just like the last one. In this new game there is more blood and there are more players. The career mode is once again fantastic, so the fans will love it. Besides all the great points there are also some bad points. The collision detection is a bit poor, the long time to connect to the online multiplayer and online code which is only usable once.

Mafia II is a game with a great story and atmosphere. The voice-acting is brilliant and the cut-scenes are really nice. But the game doesn't feature a free-roaming option after completion of the story and that's a bit sad. Besides of that it is graphically nice, but with pop-up and bad anti-alising. Mafia II is a great game, but it has some issues.

This new part in the famous FIFA franchise is more than a simple rip-off of FIFA 10. The game has got a lot of modes and these are almost all nice to play. The gameplay is at most points great, but we aren’t a big fan of the referees (just like in real life) because they can do some strange things. Besides that the graphics could have been a lot better and that also counts for some voice-overs. But, if you liked FIFA 10, you will like this as well.

MotorStorm Arctic Edge is also available for the PSP. Both versions are great race games. The PSP version is a little bit better, but this part is also fun. It’s got great replay value, interactive tracks, nice graphics and great audio. A good PS2 title.

A really deep shooter with ultra realistic gameplay. Graphics are a little bit poor, but the audio and gameplay are fantastic!

Last year Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 wasn’t really good. This year Pro Evolution Soccer is back as it’s meant to be. Nice gameplay in the great Master League and a lot of other playable options. One point that’s still missing, are all of the official licenses.

The alternative to Monster Hunter. In this game you're a God Eater and your mission is to fight the many, many monsters in this game with a few others. The gameplay is good and the variety is great - only the camera can be sometimes pretty annoying.

The concept of Brink is pretty unique. Singleplayer gameplay combined with multiplayer gameplay and with the most important element, the teamwork. It plays fantastic and the weapons are really great, also the style of the game is pretty different and that makes Brink a nice game to play.

This trilogy contains Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. A nice compilation of three pretty good Tomb Raider games in HD and of course with Trophies. If you missed those games, this trilogy is a perfect solution to play the three games.

Bulletstorm is a game that is most of all very funny with weird possibilities to kill the enemies and to use the environment to kill the opponents. There are also unique and funny weapons and the humor is pretty cool. The only sad part of this game is the playable length of this game. The singleplayer is around six hours and the multiplayer is a bit too limited.

This game is a good port from the Wii version. The gameplay is great, the story is nice and the graphics are pretty. At some moments the gameplay is a bit slow, but besides of that a must have for Dead Space and horror fans.

The prince has gone back to his roots of The Sands of Time and that brings us a good Prince of Persia game. The game is great to play in the fights and also the climbing. Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is the game everyone wanted after The Sands of Time and it's a nice game to buy. The only issue is the length of the game, because you will complete it within eight hours and that's a bit short.

3D Dot Game Heroes is an original game with fun gameplay, and a nice story, nice graphics and nice audio. The whole game is cool, but the online annoying thing is the loading times. Besides of that there are also some moments that are a kind of repetitive. But 3D Dot Game Heroes is still a great game.

When will developers learn that it's not cool to keep forcing us to shut down the entire game if we want to switch titles? Other than that – and maybe the often annoying camera – these are still the great platform games we've come to know and love, only prettier.

This game is a nice mix of RPG elements with strategy. The gameplay is pretty deep and the game contains a lot of hours of gameplay. The music is very good, but the story has it's ups and downs throughout the game. Nevertheless, the game is a good sequel and we can recommend it to every fan of the franchise.

This game is still one of the best games ever. Scary, memorable and revolutionary. Therefore it's a shame that the HD in the title doesn't at all translate itself into a noticeable graphical upgrade.

This game is a nice one in the Fallout franchise. It got a great new setting and a lot new quests and a few new gameplay possibilities. If you are a fan of the Fallout franchise we can tell you that you must play this game.

All the shooting, hacking and slashing in the Warhammer universe make for a long and very enjoyable experience. However, a few small issues, like the rather boring way in which the story is told and online connection problems, keep it from receiving a master score.

There has been a lot Spider-Man games and this is finally one of the best games. The four different Spider-Mens are cool, the different graphical style is great and the gameplay is pretty good. Sometimes the game is a bit repetitive, but besides that this is good title!

Remember Carmageddon? Armageddon Riders does really look like that classic game, but of course with good graphics, a lot of zombies instead of people and fine gameplay. The game can be a bit repetitive after playing a while, but overall it's a great PlayStation Network game!

With smooth controls, hundreds of detailed planes to fly in and an online co-op that will keep you playing for hours and hours, Birds of Steel is definitely worth a try. Just don't fly too close to the ground; your eyes might not like what you find.
