    This part in the God of War franchise is a great one. The gameplay is as usual fantastic, the action is great and the graphics and audio are genius. This is a must have for every PlayStation Portable owner. The only sad part is, that you can complete the game in five hours.

    EA does it again and overthrows its previous masterpiece by crafting an even greater ice hockey experience. It's not perfect, though: the Be A Legend mode, unlike the rest of the game, does not yet reach its full potential.

    Joe Danger is one of the best PlayStation Network games. It's got very funny gameplay in a 2D environment. You can race on many different tracks and do the craziest stunts. Besides of the singleplayer the game also has a level editor and the possibility to play one of the custom made levels in multiplayer.

    Now here's a nice surprise! A puzzle game with smooth controls, slick graphics and more than the necessary amount of variation. It's a little short, but don't let that stop you from buying it.

    DJ Hero is brand new in the music game genre and at its first arrival directly good. The gameplay is different and challenging but also fun. The game has got a brilliant soundtrack, a lot of playable modes and you can also use your Guitar Hero controller in cooperative gameplay.

    More tracks, more options, better graphics. Guitar Hero 5 got it all. Perfect for the fans, perfect for new players to start with.

    A great game which is better than the last version. It has even more gameplay and modes in comparison with last year. It also has outstanding and deep gameplay.

    The new part in the UFC franchise is a great game, just like the last one. In this new game there is more blood and there are more players. The career mode is once again fantastic, so the fans will love it. Besides all the great points there are also some bad points. The collision detection is a bit poor, the long time to connect to the online multiplayer and online code which is only usable once.

    The three Sly Cooper games in HD, with Trophies, 3D support and PlayStation Move support for a reasonable price in the stores. This is one of the best PlayStation 2 remakes you can get!

    The short singleplayer campaign is disappointing, but we've come to expect that from the Battlefield franchise. Online this third iteration is still among the best shooters out there, even though we feel like DICE has made too much changes in an attempt to attract hardened Call of Duty fans.

    Crysis 2 is a fantastic game. The graphics are fabulous and the gameplay is great. With Crysis 2 you get a fantastic single-player and a great multi-player. The sequel of Crysis works perfect on the PlayStation 3 and is for every shooter fan an instant buy.

    This new Castlevania is taking a completely new path than the previous parts. The story is different because this time it goes about the earth and the heavens. The gameplay is very good and that also counts for the graphics. The soundtrack is as usual great. This game is a reboot of the franchise and it's a great one!

    A fun story, challenging puzzles, diverse levels and a charming atmosphere… A worthy successor to the well-received original.

    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.

    A game that was a surprise. The gameplay is very variable and you can play this game for more than 25 hours. Strong gameplay, good cut-scenes, and a great offline multiplayer. You can also play the game online, but there aren't a lot of people and the game also has a issue with the loadingscreens as they are way too long.

    Codemasters delivers with F1 2010 one great game. The game features every driver and circuit from the past season and is fantastic to play. The sound is awesome, the graphics are pretty nice and the carreer mode is cool to walk through complete with press conferences and many more. A must buy.

    One of the best Fight Night games ever. Besides the traditional Legacy and online modes, there is now also an Champion mode. This mode will tell you a story and you will play an important role in it. It's fantastic, but way to short. Besides of that, still one of the better fighting games at the moment.

    Kratos' PSP adventures are superbly ported to the PS3. It's a little short and those who've played both games on the handheld won't find anything new here, but other than that it's right up there with Kratos' previous PS3 adventures.

    The Capcom and Marvel characters are combined in this fighting game, were you have to fight against two evil persons that want to combine the two worlds. The story isn't really interesting, but the gameplay on the otherhand is. This is a great fighting game with very good gameplay and a fine graphical style. After ten years this third part is really great!

    This game is still one of the best games ever. Scary, memorable and revolutionary. Therefore it's a shame that the HD in the title doesn't at all translate itself into a noticeable graphical upgrade.

    Another great production form Guerrilla Games. The story continues and you will have this time more possibilities to kill the Helghast and there are also new gameplay elements, like the jetpack for example. This is one hell of a shooter with a nice singleplayer and a great multiplayer!

    Ed Boon delivers with Mortal Kombat one of the best games in the franchise. The gameplay is almost perfect and the fatalities are fantastic, the length of the game is almost infinite and everyone can play it. Mortal Kombat is currently the best fighting game you can get.

    One of the most fine arcade racers at this time is Split/Second: Velocity. It has great environments that can change throughout the game, it has great graphics and the use of powerplays is fantastic. Only one small problem is the AI and online it can be a bit unbalanced. Besides of that, Split/Second: Velocity is great!

    An exciting first episode for what will hopefully - and after playing this game probably - be a great series. It captures that particular style we've come to know and love from the comics and manages to expand on the already satisfying story of the TV-series. A must-play for The Walking Dead fans.

    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.

    Polyphony Digital delivers one hell of a game with Gran Turismo 5. It contains lots of cars and tracks and new features like the special section are great. The gameplay however didn't change, so that means you have to race all the well known cups and championships. Still a great game, but it's a shame the AI is way too bad for a PlayStation 3 game.

    This PlayStation Network game is the comeback of Lara Croft. The gameplay is great, the graphics are fantastic and the sound is pretty cool. You can play the whole game in co-op (offline) and in the future online. Must have!

    The gameplay of Vanquish is great, you play as Sam Gideon in a special suit in space. You have to fight against robots and you can do this with a lot of different weapons. You can also slide with your knees from cover to cover and that's pretty cool. Vanquish is a great purchase, but the game is pretty short, too short and it doesn't have any other modi besides the singleplayer.

    Bulletstorm is a game that is most of all very funny with weird possibilities to kill the enemies and to use the environment to kill the opponents. There are also unique and funny weapons and the humor is pretty cool. The only sad part of this game is the playable length of this game. The singleplayer is around six hours and the multiplayer is a bit too limited.

    Marvel Pinball is a decent pinball game with a few different pinball machines, completely in the style of Marvel characters. The game is easy and nice to play and if you like to play pinball, this is the game to get. It's only a shame there aren't really much different tables to play on.
