A good game with an unique visual style, unique possibilities and a great atmosphere. The game has got a few annoying bugs, but besides that the game is a great experience in the single- and multiplayer.

Finally, Naruto's back on track. This is a great game for fans of the ultimate ninja, with a well-told story, smooth controls and a lot of variation. The awakening mode turns out to be an amazing addition to the established lore. A nice surprise overall.

Def Jam Rapstar is a game that puts you behind the microphone to rap a lot of famous songs. You can capture your performance en share it online with other players. For the people that like rap and hip-hop, this is your heaven!

If there's one thing this game suffers from, it's originality. Other than that, Kingdoms of Amalur delivers on almost every level. Overall this is a gigantic and well-developed RPG which will keep you playing for a long time to come.

A new part in this long running and big franchise. It’s finally got new modes, features and a more dynamic show with a few great improvements in the basic gameplay. Of all the previous released Buzz! games, this one is by far the best.

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.

Sonic goes back to his roots and delivers a fantastic game on the PlayStation Network. This game contains levels from previous 2D Sonic games, but the graphics are now in HD. After a lot of Sonic games that weren't good, this is the one to get!

This update does bring a lot of new stuff to the table. If you haven't bought the original game yet, this is a must-buy for fighting fans. And even if you have, you shouldn't hesitate to get this.

Need for Speed: SHIFT puts the franchise back on the map. It has interesting gameplay with a whole new level system. Also included: a lot of cars, strong graphics and a expanded single- and multiplayer.

Another good game in the Operation Flashpoint franchise. The co-op feature is working great and also the new Fireteam Engagement is aside from the singleplayer a great new element of the game. The game still has poor graphics and the AI can be really annoying, but still, you will have fun.

This new echochrome game is a fantastic one. The game is full of new puzzles and most of them are pretty hard, but still nice to play. Besides that you can create your own levels and share them online.

InviZimals is a sort of monster collection game just like Pokémon, but in this game you have to find the monsters with de PSP GO!Cam in your room, kitchen or garden. The monsters are everywhere and once you've collected them you can train them and let them battle against other monsters.

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.

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.

Hard Corps is the spiritual sequel of the classic Contra game. The gameplay is oldschool because you have to walk from left to right and shoot everything that comes on your path. With upgrades you can make your character better and better and the game can be still pretty challenging.

WWE 12 is yet again a great fighting game, but the game suffers a bit from some annoying bugs, visual mediocrity and repetitive gameplay. If you're a fan however, don't hesitate: there's enough content here to keep you busy until next year's outing.

A very basic shooter, but it’s really fun. 55 levels full of zombies and the main thing to do is shoot them all. Gameplay is cool, but on long term repetitive.

Are you a fan of horror? Then Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a fine game to play. The right Silent Hill atmosphere is present and there are a lot of aspects to make this new part a nice one. Horror and Silent Hill fans! This is your game!

A neat idea transformed into a nice, little game. Agreed, sometimes it does get repetitive and frustration lurks around most corners, but in the end you won't regret putting some money and effort into Puddle.

Syndicate is definitely one of the nicer surprises of 2012 so far. The graphics may not be on par with genre toppers like Battlefield 3, but the tactical gameplay and co-op options make for a very entertaining shooter.

White Knight Chronicles is a fine JRPG. The start is a little bit cliché, but when you’ve played a few hours, the game will get more and more interesting. The combat system is turnbased, but at another new way and it’s working pretty fine. The graphics aren’t the best anymore but they do deliver a lot of atmosphere and that also counts for the audio.

This is a good expansion of the existing game with a lot of new gameplay and fun. Every gamer that liked the original should buy this one. It’s the same idea as the original, but with a lot of new things to do.

Cubixx is a fine puzzle game. It's pretty hard to complete, but for the puzzle fans it is a real challenge to complete it. The game is hard, but fun at the same time.

And again we find ourselves playing a Vita game without a necessary online component, in this case the option for one on one duels. Other than that, a lack of proper innovation is the only drawback. You won't regret buying this addictive, accessible and very content-packed handheld title.

Aliens vs Predator is quite a unique game. You can play with the three factions in the singleplayer and the story of each faction is coming to a climax at the end of the game. After that, you can also play the multiplayer with a few different modes and the most interesting part of the multiplayer is that you can play with the three factions in one map, that delivers very chaotic, but funny gameplay.

After fifteen years Sparkster is back in a brand new adventure. The game is a pure platform game with great jetpack possibilities. The game is fun to play and also addictive. Visually the game looks stunning and the audio is fine. If you are looking for a fine platformer on your PlayStation 3, then Rocket Knight is a great purchase!

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.

Echoshift is the spiritual follow up of echochrome with more color in it. If you liked echochrome you will like this as well. It's got more of the same gameplay like before and we can be pretty short about the game: it's a nice one.

A few questionable design choices, like your inability to disable auto-aim and a camera way to close on your avatar, keep Unit 13 from reaching the absolute top. This is, however, a very solid shooter that will keep you playing for a long time to come.

A really cute game with an animal that looks like a cat and monkey together, to raise up and play with. Every action you do, is with your own hands before the PlayStation Eye camera. An unique and good concept.

With this game you get four years of Harry Potter in Hogwarts. The game shows most of the key elements from the movies and this all in the usual LEGO style. If you like the previous LEGO games, than this one is a must buy. You can play it completely in co-op, it has quite a few hours of gameplay and the humor is once again great. Perfect for the fans, but the more experienced gamer will find this game a bit too easy.

Everybody's Tennis is the perfect game to play on your way to your holiday destination. The singleplayer has many different features and playing tennis does look simple, but can go pretty deep. Graphically the game is nice, but could have been better and the story of the singleplayer is kind of lame. But the most important part of this game is playing tennis and that works great.

It's far from perfect, but nevertheless this is a great and addictive online shooter gamers will not mind spending months of their lives on. The singleplayer feels like an obligation rather than an inspired part of the package, but then again, nobody buys Starhawk for the offline experience.

No, this is actually not a bad game. On the contrary, it's short but sweet experience everyone should try out… even if the price is a little steep.

One of the biggest surprises this year is Costume Quest. It's a pretty weird Role Playing Game with a unique setting and gameplay, that will be a bit repetitive. Anyway, THQ delivers with Costume Quest a great tilte on the PlayStation Network that has a few fantastic elements.

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.

Arcade Darts is a MiNi, but it looks more like a small but full PlayStation Portable game. It's full of content,but it will take a while before you can play it perfectly, because the game is actually pretty hard.

Telltale Games is bringing back the Back to the Future through games in episodes. The gameplay is traditional point and click and the humor is pretty cool. The voice-acting, the puzzles, the gameplay, most of the main elements are better than okay. Every fan of the Back to the Future films or point and click adventures will have some fun.

Chime was released a few years ago and now Chime Super Deluxe is an extended version of the game for the PlayStation 3 with multiplayer features and more levels. The gameplay is something you've seen from DJ Hero and Tetris and could have a really addicting effect.

Green Day: Rock Band is a new fine addition to the popular franchise. The game contains a lot of the popular songs of the band and is pretty nice to play. When we look at the previous Rock Band games, there isn't a lot new and the soundtrack is a bit short. A nice Rock Band game, especially for the fans, but it's a shame that the game is a bit short.

A good fighting game with Kratos as a playable character. The gameplay isn’t very special, but it's fun thanks to the good gameplay.

The comeback of Zipper Interactive with the SOCOM franchise is a pretty good one. This game does have a decent singleplayer, co-op feature and a good multiplayer. The game is for his largest part good, but it can't give the same feeling that SOCOM II did back in the old days. A good game, but it could have been better.

Everything you've come to expect from a LEGO game. Nothing more, nothing less. Which means you'll be spending a lot of time smashing LEGO bricks around and have an incredible amount of fun doing so.

This is probably one of the best PlayStation Move games you can get at this point. It contains six different games and they all have a short singleplayer. The PlayStation Move works fantastic and the multiplayer is also great.

After a great succes on the Nintendo Wii, we can now dance on the PlayStation 3 with the PlayStation Move. The game isn't really deep and complicated, just fun and It works extremely fast and the PlayStation Move is also accurate. One of the finest partygames for the holidays.

A fine, if short, sequel to 2009's PROTOTYPE. We had quite a lot of fun playing this game, but an anticlimactic story, weak AI and the lack of a karma system keep it from becoming a masterpiece. Maybe PROTOTYPE 3 will reach the lofty heights Radical Entertainment is aiming for.

This game follows the story of the movie, but it also has another part that will deliver the younger players a lot of fun. You can play in a world where you can manage your own village, build things and complete simple objectives. A pretty nice game that is a lot better than most of the games in this genre!

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.

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.

Shank is a cool 2D platform game with a nice story, gameplay and visual style. Most of the important parts of the game are made really well, but there are some complications: the game is pretty short, doesn't work in coop and sometimes the gameplay is a bit confusing. A lot of questionable points, but overall the game is still good and nice to play.

Even though the visual aren't all that impressive, this is a great HD version of a superb fighting game, backed up by a demo that definitely raises expectations for the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Tekken: Blood Vengeance is a spectacular movie, but it doesn't stay as interesting in between fight scenes.

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.

LEGO Rock Band is the same as the other Rock Band games, but with the LEGO influence. The gameplay isn’t really different compared to the other Rock Band games. It’s fun to play thanks to the great humor of LEGO. The perfect Rock Band game for the kids.

Fat Princess is a very funny PlayStation 3 game. It has great gameplay and this has been ported to the PlayStation Portable. A shame is that the AI could have been a lot better. Besides of that, the game has great controls, the audio is good and visually the game is nice. A perfect game for anyone who travels a lot.

A fine game with a nice connection between the player and the monster. Together they have to clean up the dark forces that are in the world and that delivers nice combat action, humor and also fine puzzles. A game that does look like ICO in a new fairytale setting.

A good adaption of the movie. It has got a different story line compared with the movie. This makes the game a lot more free to do with what you want in the world of Pandora. You can play with the Na’vi and the RDA, both of the sides deliver around 8 hours of gameplay. Not the best movie adaption ever, but one that is fun to play and interesting for the fans.

This edition of Heavy Rain is perfect for anyone that still doesn't have this game. But you have to buy it for the game and not for the PlayStation Move controls. The PlayStation Move controls aren't working, because most of the time you're busy with finding out how it works. Besides of that, this edition is pretty nice, because you also get The Taxidermist DLC and more extras.

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.

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.

nail'd is an over the top racegame that takes you to the most extreme off-road environments to race in. The gameplay is cool and really, really fast. Nail'd is a game you can buy if you like MotorStorm for example, the only sad part is that the game is a bit limited in the gameplay.

In Swarm you control 50 blue creatures and with them you have to reach the end. Sounds easy, but it can be really hard because you have to sacrifice some of the creatures to get enough point. Meanwhile you need to have some left to complete the levels. A hard, but fun, platform game.

We’re going back to WWII with the Saboteur, where you play someone within the resistance. The main part of the game is to drive the Nazi’s out of Paris and the gameplay is nice but not very extraordinary. The game overall isn’t bad but it’s got a lot of problems. Think of freezing, screen tearing, pop-up and more. A nice game but buy it only if you got any money left.

This third part in the PSP franchise isn’t a brand new kind of game. It has a few improvements in comparison with the second part. It’s got a nice five hour single player, but the real gameplay is the multiplayer and the co-operative mode. The game is at the visual and audio aspect one of the better games, but the AI isn’t very good. This also counts for the cover system and the story isn’t great either. But if you liked the previous ones, then this is a nice third part.

MX vs. ATV: Reflex is a better part than the previous ones. It’s got nice gameplay with thanks to the new Reflex system that makes it possible to control the character and the bike to give the player a better feeling of realistic driving. The soundtrack is a bit poor and graphically it isn’t the best game. But if you like to race outdoor in the mud, then MX vs. ATV: Reflex is a nice game.

Shank 2 is definitely an improvement over the first game in the series, but the lack of innovation ultimately doesn't warrant a higher score.

SuperCar Challenge is a pretty good title and is very realistic. It also has a lot of options, which is perfect for the fans. A good game, but not good enough to beat the other race games this year.

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.

Katamari Forever has original gameplay, but with this new game the gameplay is identical to the first one. A good game, but without any new gameplay possibilities.

Slam Bolt Scrappers is a game that has some Tetris elements and it's very good to play on your own, but also with three other players. A good PlayStation Network game.

This is the first episode of five and the first one is trying to be extremely funny, which is a bit too much at some points. On the other side the puzzles are fun and especially for fans of Sam & Max it is a good game to play. Do you like old-school point and click adventures? Then Sam & Max is a nice one to purchase.

Homefront is a pretty short shooter with an unique setting and a great story. The game is original in most aspects, but way too short and the graphics are a bit poor. There are also a lot of annoying bugs that's making the game impossible to play.

Dungeon Defenders is actually a pretty good game. The game has easy controls, fun characters and the online multiplayer is a blast. The twist on Tower Defense is actually quite interesting and keeps the game fresh for a rather long time.

The new Need for Speed game is one hell of a ride, but a few annoyances keep it from gaining as much praise as its predecessors. A short singleplayer campaign, weak A.I., disappointing visuals and long loading times are the main setbacks.

A mediocre, but fun game. The main letdowns are the lousy production values in cutscenes and the sometimes clumsy touchscreen controls.

This game is in the first two hours extremely difficult, but after that you will understand the gameplay and then this game will become pretty cool. The game has a very good atmosphere, nice voice-acting and nice graphics. The game is hard, but it’s a good one!

The Sims 3 on consoles is cool for the fans, but contains too many options so the game is confusing. The gameplay with the many different challenges is pretty fun and the new karma system can deliver hilarious situations. But the main problem is that the problems from the first part, like the pretty bad AI are still around.

A nice pool game with good graphics, a cool soundtrack and a lot of gameplay options. You can play in the singleplayer and multiplayer, but the multiplayer is more interesting on a long term.

The last part wasn’t the best one in the franchise, but Monumental and Capcom are back with a nice arcade kind of racer on every great circuit in the world, completely licensed with all the drivers and motorcycles. You can play a lot of modes and off course a career mode, which is a great part of this new game. Later this year you will also get free downloadable content and that contains the 2010 season.

This game is meant to play with the PlayStation Move and it works pretty good. There are a lot of different game types and the game also contains a multiplayer. The only big question is why you have to play this if you can also play it for real.

The gameplay of this game is a bit repetitive in the shootouts and the developer could have done a lot more with the many environments. The game is also too easy, except for the missions where you have to drive. That part is by far the best of the game and shows the real roots of Bizarre Creations.

The story of The 3rd Birthday is extremely complicated, but the game has a lot of great elements. The feature 'overdiven' works perfect, the game is challenging and got epic boss fights. But there are also less good points, like the AI, the crappy voice-acting and the gameplay can be frustrating. A good game to check out, aside from the negative aspects.

Less trashtalking and more hustling would have been nice, but this is definitely the best handheld pool game out there.

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.

The graphics and audio are weak, but the core gameplay is still as solid as ever. There may be a lack of innovation to justify buying both The Sims 3 and this glorified expansion pack though.

Star Ocean is a great RPG when it comes to the fighting system and the story. Hardcore RPG fans will love it, but for the mainstream gamer it is too difficult because there aren't very much savepoints, the gameplay is a little bit slow and sometimes you don't really know what to do. A typical game for the more experienced RPG player.

A great fighting game, especially for Street Fighter fans. Tekken fans may end up disappointed though, since a lot of their beloved characters and moves have been omitted entirely. A rather large amount of online lag keeps the multiplayer from reaching lofty heights.

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.

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.

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.

Singularity is a game with a few great elements, but also a game with another side. The graphics are a bit poor, but the voice-acting is great. The use of the Time Manipulation Device in the singleplayer is one of the best elements in the game and that counts also for the story and the many moments that you will like in this game. Not a bad game and not a very good game, so it's just a nice title.

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.

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.

This game is pretty fun. You can race with 12 well known SEGA characters at 16 circuits. It’s a pretty typical kart game, but nevertheless it’s a lot of fun even though it’s mostly focusing on younger gamers. Nice graphics, nice audio, a lot of options and the most important thing: it’s a lot of fun!

The portable version of the great PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 race game. It has a few different tracks, nice graphics and nice audio. Not the best racer this year, but a game that can provide a lot of fun.

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 game is pretty cool to play, but got camera issues and a buggy control scheme. The story, setting and sphere are a lot better than before. This game got a lot of issues but also a lot of good points to play. A nice title, noting less and nothing more.

This game is a pretty simple online shooter with good maps and gameplay. The game has nice graphics, pretty cool audio and fine multiplayer modi. Besides all the positive elements the number of maps is a bit low and the learning curve is pretty high.

The story is well-told and very well-presented. Otherwise, this game's graphics are a mixed bunch. Control-wise, there's just too little player input required to perform the grotesque things seen on screen.
