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.

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.

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.

The story's a bit unnecessary, but who cares? This is one hell of a game, chaotic and nostalgic fun for the whole family… well, now that you mention it, you might keep your kids out of reach.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This new game is a lot better than the part that came out last year. There are now more possibilities to walk around in the Hidden Leaf Village and also in other parts of the Naruto world. This game is by far the best part ever in the franchise, so this is great material for the fans.

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 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.

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.

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.

It's simple, it's fun, it's addictive. It's also quite challenging. And above all: it's brilliant.

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

With Dante you go in to the nine circles of the hell and you have to beat a lot of strange creatures and huge bosses. The game is a copy of God of War, but it is a very good one. Everything in this game is great, the only thing that’s a little bit poor are the graphics. Do you like hack and slash? Well, this game is a fantastic one.

A new start of the franchise. This time the game is taking you to Afghanistan to fight against the Taliban. The singleplayer is way too short, but a cool one. Besides of that you can play in the addictive and great multiplayer.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

ModNation Racers is on the PlayStation 3 a great game, but on the PlayStation Portable it's possibly even better. The game has great customize options, a lot of gameplay, great graphics and many more positive elements. Only one annoying thing is the loading times, those are also on this handheld way too long.

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.

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.

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.

This portable adaption isn’t the best version of the game. It’s got the same problems like last year, most of the licenses are missing and there is nothing new to the gameplay. A game only for hardcore fans of the franchise.

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.

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.

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.

This game is a strange kind of role playing game. You play the battles during the game with guns and that’s original. The game also contains a nice story and pretty cool environments. This game is a nice RPG but it isn’t the best RPG of the moment. Nice to try and play one time, but the missing of the tutorial and a very extreme learning curve is something that could have been better.

An addictive game, pulled apart by terrible matchmaking.

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.

This game is based on your skills to press the different buttons as fast as possible to make a great rhythm. A simple game in its looks, but when you play it, the game has very different styles and that's great!

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.

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.

Graphically there's nothing to complain about and in the end this is still good old bloody Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's just that the touch controls aren't that impressive and the camera tries desperately to become your mortal enemy. Thus the low score.

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.

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.

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.

The return of one of the most legendary franchises isn’t perfect but pretty good. With unique elements and heavy shoot-outs a must have for the fans.

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.

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.

The action in Alien Breed: Impact is pretty fun, but after a hour of playtime you will see that the game is way too repetitive and that's a shame. The concept is cool, but could have been a lot better.

This reboot of an old franchise improves on the basic formula in almost every way. HD graphics ensure nice visuals and accessible, but challenging gameplay keeps you interested the whole time. You won't regret buying this fun little PlayStation Network game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Play the bad guy in this game and create tunnels and monsters to avoid good people to get to the king. The game is fun for the fans of Badman, but for the most players this game is way too hard and repetitive.

NBA Jam is a funny game that lets the player play 2 versus 2 in completely over the top basketball matches. This game is all about fun and that's the strongest part of the game. The graphical style is also unique and fun. You got the realistic NBA 2K11 game and the not so realistisch NBA Jam game, your choice!

This game has nice gameplay and the game will take the player to different parts of the world. There is nothing really perfect about the game and nothing really bad. It's a nice part in the franchise and a nice PlayStation Portable game, but that's everything said.

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.
