    This new part in the famous FIFA franchise is more than a simple rip-off of FIFA 10. The game has got a lot of modes and these are almost all nice to play. The gameplay is at most points great, but we aren’t a big fan of the referees (just like in real life) because they can do some strange things. Besides that the graphics could have been a lot better and that also counts for some voice-overs. But, if you liked FIFA 10, you will like this as well.

    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.

    A really deep shooter with ultra realistic gameplay. Graphics are a little bit poor, but the audio and gameplay are fantastic!

    Last year Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 wasn’t really good. This year Pro Evolution Soccer is back as it’s meant to be. Nice gameplay in the great Master League and a lot of other playable options. One point that’s still missing, are all of the official licenses.

    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.

    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.

    This trilogy contains Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. A nice compilation of three pretty good Tomb Raider games in HD and of course with Trophies. If you missed those games, this trilogy is a perfect solution to play the three games.

    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.

    This game is a good port from the Wii version. The gameplay is great, the story is nice and the graphics are pretty. At some moments the gameplay is a bit slow, but besides of that a must have for Dead Space and horror fans.

    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.

    3D Dot Game Heroes is an original game with fun gameplay, and a nice story, nice graphics and nice audio. The whole game is cool, but the online annoying thing is the loading times. Besides of that there are also some moments that are a kind of repetitive. But 3D Dot Game Heroes is still a great game.

    When will developers learn that it's not cool to keep forcing us to shut down the entire game if we want to switch titles? Other than that – and maybe the often annoying camera – these are still the great platform games we've come to know and love, only prettier.

    This game is a nice mix of RPG elements with strategy. The gameplay is pretty deep and the game contains a lot of hours of gameplay. The music is very good, but the story has it's ups and downs throughout the game. Nevertheless, the game is a good sequel and we can recommend it to every fan of the franchise.

    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.

    This game is a nice one in the Fallout franchise. It got a great new setting and a lot new quests and a few new gameplay possibilities. If you are a fan of the Fallout franchise we can tell you that you must play this game.

    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.

    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!

    Remember Carmageddon? Armageddon Riders does really look like that classic game, but of course with good graphics, a lot of zombies instead of people and fine gameplay. The game can be a bit repetitive after playing a while, but overall it's a great PlayStation Network game!

    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.

    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 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.

    A good game with an unique visual style, unique possibilities and a great atmosphere. The game has got a few annoying bugs, but besides that the game is a great experience in the single- and multiplayer.

    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.

    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!

    If there's one thing this game suffers from, it's originality. Other than that, Kingdoms of Amalur delivers on almost every level. Overall this is a gigantic and well-developed RPG which will keep you playing for a long time to come.

    A new part in this long running and big franchise. It’s finally got new modes, features and a more dynamic show with a few great improvements in the basic gameplay. Of all the previous released Buzz! games, this one is by far the best.

    While the 2012 iteration of the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise is definitely better than its predecessors, it won't even get close to EA's contemporary FIFA masterpiece. The main reasons are the hideously bad AI, the ancient game modes and yet again the lack of proper licensing.

    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!

    This update does bring a lot of new stuff to the table. If you haven't bought the original game yet, this is a must-buy for fighting fans. And even if you have, you shouldn't hesitate to get this.

    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.
