    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!

    The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is a must have for fans of the series and newcomers alike. Did you really expect anything different?

    Dead Space 2 is a game every (horror) fan of the first hour has to pick up. The gameplay is a bit more action orientated, but still creepy as it was in the first part of the franchise. Besides a fantastic singleplayer there is also a good and fun-to-play multiplayer mode.

    Kojima does it again. He delivers a game on the PSP that is one of the best PSP games in years. It has great gameplay, co-operative features and the UMD disc has an unbelievable amount of content. If you like Metal Gear Solid and good PSP games, than Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is the game to have!

    NBA 2K11 is a fantastic game, there is nothing wrong about the game and it contains all the content like last year. One new addition is the Michael Jordan Challenge, where you can play a few of the most important moments in his career. Every basketball fan has to buy this game.

    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.

    A genius tribute to the Beatles. The game lets you walk the first steps of The Beatles to the biggest moments of their career. Colorful graphics and brilliant audio combined with traditional gameplay makes The Beatles: Rock Band a great 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.

    Every year a great game and this new game is a little bit better than the one from last year. It got a few new modes, better graphics, outstanding audio and very strong gameplay.

    This new part is just like the first one in the singleplayer a lot of fun. The squad where you’re in is the most idiotic squad of the US Army and that means that you can expect a lot of humor. The singleplayer is pretty cool, but the real power is in the multiplayer. We found it better and more fun online than Modern Warfare 2.

    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?

    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.

    BioShock 2 is the sequel of the fantastic BioShock and this time you play a prototype Big Daddy, a few years after the original BioShock. The gameplay isn't much improved and the graphics are a little bit the same. It sounds negative, but the game is at every perspective of high quality, thanks to the new plasmids and weapons.

    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.

    The release of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger in Europe is a bit late, but besides that it’s one hell of a fighter. The game got easy pick-up gameplay but can go very deep. The graphics are at a high level and the audio is a bit strange for these kind of games, but still very cool. If you are looking for a fighter besides Street Fighter IV for example, than BlazBlue is a must have!

    The complete world of Red Dead Redemption has changed to a world full of zombies and undead creatures. The new short singleplayer is great because of the action and the brilliant atmosphere. Every owner of this game can't miss this DLC.

    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!

    The checkpoints aren't that well-placed, which may lead to some frustration along the way... that's the only complaint we have. What we actually want to say is that Max Payne 3 is a fantastic shooter with an unseen filmic flair that even holds up nicely in comparison with Uncharted 3. And that's saying A LOT.

    Heavy Rain isn’t a game and Heavy Rain isn’t a film, but it’s something in between. It has a storyline with 23 different endings with the main purpose to give every player a different experience. With every choice you make, the storyline will be going a specific way. The choices are that important, that the most of you will play a totally different game then the other. A new kind of game with great gameplay, brilliant graphics and superb audio. A must have!

    Colin McRae DiRT 2 is a great race game that’s combine a few different off the roads racing championships. The game has strong audio, beautiful graphics and a lot of gameplay. Probably the best racer of this year.

    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.

    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 the best mini I've ever played. It's fun, the play is good, atmosphere is great, music is fantastic and above all ... it's addictive!

    This PlayStation Portable version of LittleBigPlanet is a very good adaption of the PlayStation 3 version. The single player is almost perfect and really fun to play. The level editor works very well and is also fun.

    A new great part in the PixelJunk franchise. The gameplay is really simple, but fun and playing this game with your friends will be more fun. Q-Games delivers with this new part a great one and all of the fans of the previous PixelJunk games shouldn’t miss this one.

    Bayonetta on the PS3 has a great combat system, a nice story, good gameplay, pretty good graphics and a chick to play with. There are two points that aren’t good and those are the loading screens and frame drops. If you don’t care about those points, than Bayonetta is one of the better games of 2010. If you do care about those points, then just see through them and you’ll also see a brilliant game.

    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.

    A complete version of the PlayStation 3 game with all the expansions. Although the price is very low, you get one of the best PlayStation Network games on your PSP.

    DJ Hero 2 is at every part better than the previous one. The gameplay is still the same, but the music got more variety. One of the new features is that there are many more mix-techniques and the online section of the game is way better than before. A great music game.

    The loading times are steep, but other than that we can't think of many flaws to this fighting game. Adding PRIDE to the mix turns out to be a good call, resulting in an impressive roster of 150 fighters. Overall there's a nice increase in depth and modi, making for a nice third entry in the series.
