Long loading times, game crashes and framedrops are rather annoying, but other than that you will have a good time with this family game.

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.

Nooooooo!!! Where are the Trophies? IT CAN'T BE! This sequel to the PlayStation Move launch game Start the Party is a lot of fun if you're into this sort of mini-games. Be sure to stand right in front of your TV though… and seriously, why the complete lack of Trophies?

Yes, you can find some bugs and glitches here and there, but that's to be expected. What you should remember is that this game will slaughter your personal life and won't let you go until you've explored every bit of its huge open world. Now go and buy Skyrim, you won't regret it.

Fans of the Lord of the Rings won't mind the slightly disappointing graphics, the confusing story and the many small flaws in gameplay. They'll be happy to fight their way through Middle-Earth once more, using more than decent combat mechanics alone or with up to two friends.

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.

Frank West is a hilarious protagonist and the newly added checkpoints are a relief. Overall, however, there's a lack of new features to justify the price tag.

This is a return to form, a fact that Rayman fans will certainly appreciate. It's a little bit inaccessible, but once you're past that problem, Origins will keep giving you reasons to come back.

This is a great way to celebrate the twentieth birthday of a videogame icon. 2D Sonic still stands for a superb platforming experience, while 3D Sonic shows us yet again why this series has gone downhill.

Harmony of Despair is a great and above all challenging game, especially when played with a friend. The lack of a story and the slow controls, however, are major let-downs.

This remake doesn't stand up to the reputation of the classic Nintendo 64 shooter and that's a real shame. Disappointing visuals, incredibly sucky AI and frustratingly long loading times are the main bad guys here.

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.

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

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.

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.

Finally, they improved the camera! Sadly, this is the only thing about Ultimate Tenkaichi that doesn't make a Dragon Ball Z fan want to out of his second story-window.

A mediocre game: Simple, accessible and fun gameplay in recognizable Disney settings, but way too chaotic and repetitive to leave a lasting impression.

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.

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.

While the newest iteration in the Ratchet & Clank franchise is a little bit too childish for our tastes and at the same time fails to impress graphically, shooting up space monsters in four player co-op is a chaotic blast that will convince both fans and newcomers.

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.

Even though it's fun to return to New Marais and battle vampires as the now extra powerful Cole McGrath, Festival of Blood feels to much like a last-minute afterthought to inFamous 2 to receive a higher score. Still, inFamous fans should not hesitate to buy this.

A great, though short story about our friendly neighbourhood superhero is undermined by uninspired and repetitive gameplay elements. It feels like a disappointing expansion to last year's Shattered Dimensions and that is not meant as a compliment.

Is this the perfect sequel? Yes. Rocksteady takes the core experience from the already fantastic Batman: Arkham Asylum and expands on it in every imaginable way. This is how every superhero game should be. Action game of the year!

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.

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.

Burnout: Crash presents a radical change in both style and gameplay for the franchise, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's fun, accessible and incredibly addictive, even though the controls aren't always as responsive as they should be.

The king is back! This latest iteration of the popular NBA 2K franchise improves on its predecessor in almost every way and is therefore undoubtedly the best basketball game so far.

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.

Words almost can't describe a game that nears perfection. And that is exactly what Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception does.

Originality is the hallmark of a great game and while Eufloria has its flaws – it's rather repetitive due to a lack of variation – it more than makes up for it with its unique premise and ditto execution.

If not for the amount of bugs, the slightly disappointing graphics and the lack of a truly interesting story, this would have been the perfect sequel to 2009's frustratingly hard Demon's Souls. It's still a fantastic experience though... if you're up for it.

As far as the gameplay goes, X-Men Destiny works just fine. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about many of the other aspects of the game: a sweet, though way too short story, hideous graphics and an uninspired sound.

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.

While the 2012 iteration of the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise is definitely better than its predecessors, it won't even get close to EA's contemporary FIFA masterpiece. The main reasons are the hideously bad AI, the ancient game modes and yet again the lack of proper licensing.

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.

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.

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.

Bloodrayne goes 2D and does this with quite a lot of ambition. Therefore it is all the more saddening to see that imprecise controls and a lackluster story keep the bloodsucking heroine from reaching perfection.

This incredibly addictive, though often frustrating game is at its best when you're playing with friends. Which makes the absence of an online multiplayer mode all the more surprising.

EA proves yet again that FIFA is the best football game series. This year's installment tops the previous one with an new physics engine, improved defensive mechanics and a more elaborate career mode. Kudos!

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

Being God is always fun, period! Challenging gameplay and a unique atmosphere make for a very addicting experience, but control issues and plain stupid AI keep it from reaching the absolute top in the genre.

Fun for a while – especially when playing with a friend – but way too repetitive for the long run.

It's a shame Dead Island does not live up to the hype. Granted, the game is a lot of fun and Banoi makes for an entertaining and extremely atmospheric playground, but a lack of story and a lack of depth keep it from becoming an instant classic.

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.

A lack of invention when compared to the previous game and an overdose of chaos make for a disappointing entry in the series. Deathspank: The Baconing is fun for a while, but you won't remember it for long.

EA does it again and overthrows its previous masterpiece by crafting an even greater ice hockey experience. It's not perfect, though: the Be A Legend mode, unlike the rest of the game, does not yet reach its full potential.

Both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are fantastic games which will be remembered as such for many years to come. If you haven't played them before, you owe it to yourself to pick this collection up as soon as possible.

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.

The weapons sound great and graphically it's not that bad... Unfortunately that's all there is to say. An uninspired story, terrible shooting mechanics and the awful AI make Bodycount one of the most disappointing games of the year.

Fighting the Chimera has never been this much fun. Resistance 3 delivers with a strong atmosphere, expertly designed weapons and an engaging story. By far the best entry in the series yet.

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.

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

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!

While by no means a bad game, Warhammer 40.000: Kill Team doesn't completely succeed in softening the long wait for Space Marine. Repetitive missions, a hostile camera and an uneven difficulty ultimately make for a disappointing experience.

Kratos' PSP adventures are superbly ported to the PS3. It's a little short and those who've played both games on the handheld won't find anything new here, but other than that it's right up there with Kratos' previous PS3 adventures.

The combination of the social aspect, the hacking, the action and stealth makes Deus Ex: Human Revolution a unique game. The visuals look stunning, the soundtrack is fantastic and the gameplay is brilliant. Great variety and there are alot of different ways to play this game and that makes it fun to play time after time. In other words, one of the best games of this year.

Year after year the Harry Potter games were getting more worse and this latest game is the best in being the worst Harry Potter game ever. The game is boring, way too short, repetitive and a lot more… in a negative way. The only good part about this game is that there will be no more Harry Potter games from EA. Avoid this one and wait for LEGO Harry Potter that is coming out later this year.

To make a game about one of the biggest sportevents in the world can be challenging. Focus Home Interactive tried it with the Tour de France and that delivers a game that has good parts and bad parts. The way you play the game can be a bit boring, but the managing features are working pretty good and so does the possibility to give commands. But the game has a lot of bugs and will freeze from time to time and a lot features aren't bad, but it could have been way more interesting and fun.

Most of the games published by SEGA based upon a superhero movie are varying from unplayable to really bad. But Captain America: Super Soldier is finally the game that is fun to play, has a great soundtrack and the gameplay works very good. It is still not the best game based upon a movie, but SEGA is finally learning. If you liked the movie, you'll like this game.

The idea of Dead Block is pretty funny, but this is also a game that could have been a lot better with just a little bit more of development time. There is nowhere a story to find, it doesn't play very well, its repetitive and graphically it isn't that great. The only two elements that are really fun are the weird atmosphere and the co-op features.

There are a lot of different puzzle games at the PlayStation Network and Puzzle Dimension is within the genre a new kind of game. The gameplay is pretty complicated to explain in one sentence, but when you love to play different and pretty hard puzzle games, than Puzzle Dimension is a fine choice.

The two previous Call of Juarez games were good games, but this third game is a bit of a disaster on different aspects. The audio will stop sometimes, visually it's looking pretty bad, the game is full of bugs and stupid mistakes. This game needed just one more year of development time to be a lot better. A shame.

Star Raiders is one of the PlayStation Network games that you just don't buy. Almost everything within the game is repetitive, boring and not interesting. Most of the gameplay parts just don't work and there isn't even one minute that makes it fun to play. Avoid this game.

Limbo is a game with a great atmosphere and a fine style. The gameplay is original and different than usual and also challenging. The puzzles are really simple, but it can be hard to figure out what the solution is. The game is also a bit short.

Street Fighter IV is still one of the best fighting games, but where Super Street Fighter IV was a upgrade with some new DLC included, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is a simple upgrade of Super Street Fighter IV. There are some subtile improvements and a few new fighters. But when you have Super Street Fighter IV or Street Fighter IV, than this isn't really worth it.

A few years back there was a SEGA Rally game and this PlayStation Network game is a smaller version of that game. The gameplay is pure arcade and nostalgic. The game also has the terrain deformation, like the original game from a few years back. But there aren't many tracks and the few features in the game are a bit vague to unlock. The game from a few years ago is probably a better option for the same money.

You have to fight against different huge insects who are terrorizing New Detroit. Sounds fun, but it isn't. The visual part of the game is way too bad, the animations are worthless, the gameplay is repetitive and the overall experience is mostly boring. The good parts of this game? The audio is okay and the co-op feature makes it a bit more fun to play.

The return of the apes could be fun, but the problem is that the gameplay is way to repetitive, the game is also pretty quick completed and it doesn't really have any variations in the gameplay. The PlayStation Move support, which is working perfectly, could have been used a lot more, but the developer failed to do it.

Hamilton's Great adventure is a fine and relaxing puzzle game with a couple of fun elements. The game contains sixty levels with different puzzles that are all fun to play but the atmosphere can be a bit childish. When you're looking for something different and fresh, this would be a good choice.

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.

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!

The world of White Knight Chronicles has a whole new story and the first game is also included! The gameplay is like the original game, but the fightingsystem has been improved and the multiplayer is really good and gives you hours of gameplay. Only we don't like the use of older environments from the first game instead of completely new ones and the story can be a bit lengthy.

This version has some improvements compared with the Xbox 360 version, but it isn't really a great game. The sniping part of the game is perfect, but the AI, the graphics, the audio and movement aren't really good. The game can be fun to play, but that's only because of the sniper rifles.

Go underground and shoot some aliens in Red Faction Armageddon. The gameplay has gone back to the roots but it is lineair and the singleplayer is a bit short. The multiplayer modes are cool, but you won't play them for a long time. Red Faction: Armageddon is a fine game, but there are a lot of things that could have been a lot better.

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.

Play this game in co-op, then you will have fun, but that is not because of the high standards in this game. The graphics are old, the camera doesn't work all the time and the story is a disappointment. But the co-op, like already said can be fun and the level editor is pretty cool, but there are a lot of better games out there at this moment.

This new F.E.A.R. game is supposed to be scary, but it actually isn't. But the new features you can find are great. This time you can also play with Paxton Fettel, there is a nice to play multiplayer and the co-op works great. The story on the other side disappoints and that also counts for the graphics.

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.

Transformers: War for Cybertron was one of the best Transformers games and after playing this, that game is still the best. It doesn't mean this game sucks, but it can be repetitive, the graphics and audio aren't that great and the game is a bit short. There is a multiplayer, but that isn't really interesting.

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.

The new adventure of Cole McGrath is even better than the previous one. The new powers, abilities and the possibility to make your own missions and share them with the world, works great. A great PlayStation 3 exclusive.

After ten years there is finally a new Alice game. The story is interesting, the platforming works great and the level design is fantastic, but the game looks a bit old and there are a few annoying mistakes in the gameplay and also the fighting system doesn't work perfect. But besides of that, this is a fine game for the fans.

After more than a decennium the Duke is finally back in Duke Nukem Forever but the game isn't really great. It has fantastic humor and the fans will appreciate this game, but technically it's way too old for a good PlayStation 3 game. It's a shame that Gearbox didn't update the game more at the technical aspect.

Most of the gamers doesn't play chess normally, but that doesn't mean Chess is boring. TopWare delivers with Battle vs. Chess a fine chess game with fine graphics, a good challenge and a lot of variety. Of course is not everything in the game brilliant, but Battle vs. Chess is a nice surprise.

The PlayStation Move support, the humor, the style and the gameplay is fun. But No More Heroes: Paradise does also have a lot of less good point, like the side-missions, sometimes the humor is way to cheesy and the driving elements of the game doesn't really work. The game is a bit extraordinary, but fans of this kind of games will enjoy this.

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.

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.

DiRT 3 is the best part in the DiRT franchise. The game contains a lot of different disciplines and also Gymkhana and that last one works great. The game does look awesome, the audio and soundtrack are great and the gameplay is sublime!

MX vs. ATV Alive is a mid-priced game with the most important elements of the preview parts. But for the ultimate experience you have to buy downloadable content. Besides of that MX vs. ATV Alive is a decent off the road racer with good handling and different events. Only the graphics aren't impressive.

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.

L.A. Noire is a fantastic game. Playing with Cole Phelps as a detective can be really interesting. The gameplay is great, the graphics are brilliant because of the new MotionScan technology and Los Angeles is full of details. A lot of words to describe the game, but two will suffice: must buy!

A typical game based upon a movie. A few elements are good, but most of the game is pure crap. Thor: God of Thunder does have a lot of strange bugs and doesn't look very well, the audio is also very poor and the game has big troubles with the framerate. Probably only for the diehard fans.

SEGA sticks with the arcade gameplay for years and also in Virtua Tennis 4. It looks fine, plays well and the World Tour mode is pretty cool. But the audio sounds like it is coming directly from the eighties and it is a bit too easy.

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.

Dancing and singing within one game and it's working too. Dancing with the PlayStation Move is working great and while dancing you can sing with the SingStar mics. You can sing and dance on the most famous Michael Jackson songs and you can also participate in the dancing school to learn how to dance, even the moonwalk.

This small warming up for Red Faction: Armageddon is a nice try. You can play with a vehicle and you have to kill all the other players. It's like the traditional modes within multiplayer games, deathmatch, team deathmatch and more and it's vehicle based. Fun and it works nice, but there aren't many maps, the game can be a bit boring and the price is pretty high.
