    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?

    Splatterhouse is the revival of an old franchise and the gameplay is pretty extreme. It's a typical hack and slash game with a lot of blood and bodyparts flying around. The game is nice to play when you're fighting, but the platforming isn't great. Just for fans of extreme violence.

    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.

    This game is great for young gamers. The graphics are colorfull and the animations are fun. The game is nice to play and it got a lot of variety. The singleplayer is perfect for everyone, but it's sad to see there's nobody online.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Karaoke Revolution has a pretty boring interface and career mode, but the gameplay is pretty funny. It’s got a lot of tracks and you are able to create your own character and stage. If you like SingStar or Lips, then this is a nice alternative.

    TV Superstars is a pretty funny game to play. You start as a nobody in the world of television stars and you have to work yourself up to be a star. You will play five different funny PlayStation Move games and there's a lot of variety. Not the best game, but the humor and fun is great.

    Toy Story 3 is a good PSP game next to the PS3 version. The gameplay is nice and it's got a lot of replay value. The game is perfect for younger gamers; it has a lot of content from the movie and many different characters.

    A nice Star Wars game with funny gameplay. Besides of that the game has got a lot of issues, the story isn’t really interesting, the camera is annoying and the gameplay can be repetitive. It’s a nice game, but we’ve seen a lot, lot better.

    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.

    The former Savage Moon was a nice game on the PlayStation 3. This part is a PlayStation Portable game and a nice one too. The gameplay is a little bit basic, but still it’s fun. The only problem this one has, just like the PlayStation 3 version, are the graphics, those aren’t the best we’ve ever seen.

    This game has to compete with the Tiger Woods franchise from Electronic Arts. The Tiger Woods games are obviously a lot better, but this game also has its own charms. There are a few nice elements in this game but there are also a few points that could have been a lot better.

    Let's start with the good: the touch controls work perfectly and this game's graphics are astonishing. However, there's not nearly enough songs and moves to keep Michael Jackson: The Experience in your Vita for longer than a couple of days.

    This is Jurassic Park fans only territory. If you are not a die hard fan, you might find the Heavy Rain light gameplay of this episodic title rather underwhelming.

    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.

    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.

    It's a bold move to step away from the established mechanics of the Yakuza franchise and it turns out mostly okay. A great story with memorable characters makes sure that every Yakuza fan will have to check this one out. In the end, however, a sluggish camera and outdated graphics make for a mediocre title.

    This party game might provide some addictive fun, using a lot of Vita features along the way. Not every minigame works as well as it should though and when you find out that there aren't that many different minigames in the first place, you'll realize that there are better ways to spend your hard-earned money.

    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.

    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.

    The original gameplay of Spelunker didn't change too much and that means Spelunker HD is a pretty hardcore game. Every little mistake means you're dead and you have to play again. The original Spelunker is also included.

    Knights Contract is a pretty normal hack and slash game. The gameplay is good and the two characters have a nice connection. You play with Heinrich, a brutal guy and you can't die. On the other hand the other character is Gretchen and she's weak, but has powerful powers. The game got its original elements, but is at no point really strong.

    Pure Football is a nice soccer game, but it could have been a lot better. The gameplay is fun, but it has some complications. Visually the game is nice, but the audio isn’t, because it’s kind of empty. Pure Football is a nice combination of FIFA Street and 2010 FIFA World Cup. Short: a nice game, but could have been a lot better.

    Capcom is in Lost Planet 2 completely focusing on the multiplayer and as a result of that: the AI is completely crap. You have to play this game with more players and then it will be fun. On your own it could have been a lot better, but the AI is ruining it all. The graphics could also have been better and another annoying thing is the limited amount of savepoints. It isn’t a really bad game, but Capcom could have made more of it.

    This game isn’t really special. The story, gameplay, graphics and audio are very basic. The game is fun to play, but there are a lot of better games. If you like the television series, you will also like this game, if you don’t, then this game is a little bit boring.

    Eat Them is a pretty nice PlayStation Network game. You are playing with a monster and you have to complete different challenges and in the meantime you can eat humans to restore health. The gameplay is simple as that and it's just so fun.

    A nice skateboard game that can't compete with SKATE, but it's way better than the latest Tony Hawk game. The gameplay is cool and unique at the same time, mostly because of the shaping features in the game.

    Since you're essentially buying the same game Capcom has already released twice, owners of the PS3 version won't miss anything essential skipping this. While this is in fact a great handheld fighting game, the touch features throw away any challenge and any skill needed to conquer the stages.
