    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.

    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 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.

    EyePet Move Edition is a game that's exacty the same like the normal edition. The only difference is that on the disc PlayStation Move support is included. Everyone that has the game already can download a free patch, so the game isn't completely new. The game is still very nice and lovely to play, only when you play with the PlayStation Move it isn't really great.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 really feel like a sniper in this game... that is, if you overlook the visual mediocrity, a weak story and the incredibly dumb AI. Overall, Sniper Elite V2 is a major disappointment.

    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.

    These are still the same games that scared us shitless in the past, but we aren't all too happy with the changes Capcom made to the formula. Why is the screen so bright? Why does James sound like his longues are made of metal? Why is the framerate broken when this wasn't the case in the original games? The new voices are a lot better than the old ones, but this is actually the only improvement that actually improves things and that's a real shame.

    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!

    Vandal Hearts is a nice PlayStation Network game with a pretty cool gameplay system, but the story and the audio are a bit poor and that’s a shame. If you like old school RPG’s, than Vandal Hearts is a nice game to pick up, but it has some issues.

    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.

    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.

    Ruby Malone is a hot chick and her job is to clean up everyone’s mess. Gameplay that will remind you of Stranglehold with a little influence of MadWorld. WET: a nice title, but it could have been better.

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

    This new part contains the story of the last movie, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Besides of that it also contains the three previous adventures, but only the most important parts of those games. And the last new feature is the level builder. It’s a nice game, but the previous one was a lot better.

    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.

    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 biggest surprises of this year. This game has many, many different quests, possibilities, a great and big world to play in. Fans of the The Elder Scrolls franchise, this is the best alternative you can get!

    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.

    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.

    Football Manager Handheld 2010 is a good game because there are no other competitors on the PlayStation Portable, but the gameplay isn’t really better than before. The PC version is better because of its major improvements. This PSP version is the same as last year without any improvements. Only the current real situation has been updated.

    The first The Eye of Judgment was a unique game. The PlayStation Portable version is the one without a camera but with the same elements. The unique aspect is lost, but the strategy gameplay is still very good. Only the story in this game is a bit boring and the gameplay isn’t for anyone.

    The PlayStation 3 version is great, the PlayStation Portable version isn’t. It is at no point better and the graphics are really basic, including the audio. The gameplay isn’t really spectacular. If you got the PlayStation 3 version or can’t choose between them: the PlayStation 3 version a lot better.

    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.

    Damn, this title sounds wrong after a couple of drinks… A lack of innovation, a short runtime and weak graphics keep this game from becoming a must-have. Fans, however, will most definitely enjoy some more Katamari.

    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.

    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.
