    Green Day: Rock Band is a new fine addition to the popular franchise. The game contains a lot of the popular songs of the band and is pretty nice to play. When we look at the previous Rock Band games, there isn't a lot new and the soundtrack is a bit short. A nice Rock Band game, especially for the fans, but it's a shame that the game is a bit short.

    A good fighting game with Kratos as a playable character. The gameplay isn’t very special, but it's fun thanks to the good gameplay.

    The comeback of Zipper Interactive with the SOCOM franchise is a pretty good one. This game does have a decent singleplayer, co-op feature and a good multiplayer. The game is for his largest part good, but it can't give the same feeling that SOCOM II did back in the old days. A good game, but it could have been better.

    Everything you've come to expect from a LEGO game. Nothing more, nothing less. Which means you'll be spending a lot of time smashing LEGO bricks around and have an incredible amount of fun doing so.

    This is probably one of the best PlayStation Move games you can get at this point. It contains six different games and they all have a short singleplayer. The PlayStation Move works fantastic and the multiplayer is also great.

    After a great succes on the Nintendo Wii, we can now dance on the PlayStation 3 with the PlayStation Move. The game isn't really deep and complicated, just fun and It works extremely fast and the PlayStation Move is also accurate. One of the finest partygames for the holidays.

    A fine, if short, sequel to 2009's PROTOTYPE. We had quite a lot of fun playing this game, but an anticlimactic story, weak AI and the lack of a karma system keep it from becoming a masterpiece. Maybe PROTOTYPE 3 will reach the lofty heights Radical Entertainment is aiming for.

    This game follows the story of the movie, but it also has another part that will deliver the younger players a lot of fun. You can play in a world where you can manage your own village, build things and complete simple objectives. A pretty nice game that is a lot better than most of the games in this genre!

    Dancing and singing within one game and it's working too. Dancing with the PlayStation Move is working great and while dancing you can sing with the SingStar mics. You can sing and dance on the most famous Michael Jackson songs and you can also participate in the dancing school to learn how to dance, even the moonwalk.

    Street Fighter IV is still one of the best fighting games, but where Super Street Fighter IV was a upgrade with some new DLC included, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is a simple upgrade of Super Street Fighter IV. There are some subtile improvements and a few new fighters. But when you have Super Street Fighter IV or Street Fighter IV, than this isn't really worth it.

    Shank is a cool 2D platform game with a nice story, gameplay and visual style. Most of the important parts of the game are made really well, but there are some complications: the game is pretty short, doesn't work in coop and sometimes the gameplay is a bit confusing. A lot of questionable points, but overall the game is still good and nice to play.

    Even though the visual aren't all that impressive, this is a great HD version of a superb fighting game, backed up by a demo that definitely raises expectations for the upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Tekken: Blood Vengeance is a spectacular movie, but it doesn't stay as interesting in between fight scenes.

    Fans of the Lord of the Rings won't mind the slightly disappointing graphics, the confusing story and the many small flaws in gameplay. They'll be happy to fight their way through Middle-Earth once more, using more than decent combat mechanics alone or with up to two friends.

    LEGO Rock Band is the same as the other Rock Band games, but with the LEGO influence. The gameplay isn’t really different compared to the other Rock Band games. It’s fun to play thanks to the great humor of LEGO. The perfect Rock Band game for the kids.

    Fat Princess is a very funny PlayStation 3 game. It has great gameplay and this has been ported to the PlayStation Portable. A shame is that the AI could have been a lot better. Besides of that, the game has great controls, the audio is good and visually the game is nice. A perfect game for anyone who travels a lot.

    A fine game with a nice connection between the player and the monster. Together they have to clean up the dark forces that are in the world and that delivers nice combat action, humor and also fine puzzles. A game that does look like ICO in a new fairytale setting.

    A good adaption of the movie. It has got a different story line compared with the movie. This makes the game a lot more free to do with what you want in the world of Pandora. You can play with the Na’vi and the RDA, both of the sides deliver around 8 hours of gameplay. Not the best movie adaption ever, but one that is fun to play and interesting for the fans.

    This edition of Heavy Rain is perfect for anyone that still doesn't have this game. But you have to buy it for the game and not for the PlayStation Move controls. The PlayStation Move controls aren't working, because most of the time you're busy with finding out how it works. Besides of that, this edition is pretty nice, because you also get The Taxidermist DLC and more extras.

    This new F.E.A.R. game is supposed to be scary, but it actually isn't. But the new features you can find are great. This time you can also play with Paxton Fettel, there is a nice to play multiplayer and the co-op works great. The story on the other side disappoints and that also counts for the graphics.

    Hamilton's Great adventure is a fine and relaxing puzzle game with a couple of fun elements. The game contains sixty levels with different puzzles that are all fun to play but the atmosphere can be a bit childish. When you're looking for something different and fresh, this would be a good choice.

    nail'd is an over the top racegame that takes you to the most extreme off-road environments to race in. The gameplay is cool and really, really fast. Nail'd is a game you can buy if you like MotorStorm for example, the only sad part is that the game is a bit limited in the gameplay.

    In Swarm you control 50 blue creatures and with them you have to reach the end. Sounds easy, but it can be really hard because you have to sacrifice some of the creatures to get enough point. Meanwhile you need to have some left to complete the levels. A hard, but fun, platform game.

    We’re going back to WWII with the Saboteur, where you play someone within the resistance. The main part of the game is to drive the Nazi’s out of Paris and the gameplay is nice but not very extraordinary. The game overall isn’t bad but it’s got a lot of problems. Think of freezing, screen tearing, pop-up and more. A nice game but buy it only if you got any money left.

    This third part in the PSP franchise isn’t a brand new kind of game. It has a few improvements in comparison with the second part. It’s got a nice five hour single player, but the real gameplay is the multiplayer and the co-operative mode. The game is at the visual and audio aspect one of the better games, but the AI isn’t very good. This also counts for the cover system and the story isn’t great either. But if you liked the previous ones, then this is a nice third part.

    MX vs. ATV: Reflex is a better part than the previous ones. It’s got nice gameplay with thanks to the new Reflex system that makes it possible to control the character and the bike to give the player a better feeling of realistic driving. The soundtrack is a bit poor and graphically it isn’t the best game. But if you like to race outdoor in the mud, then MX vs. ATV: Reflex is a nice game.

    Shank 2 is definitely an improvement over the first game in the series, but the lack of innovation ultimately doesn't warrant a higher score.

    SuperCar Challenge is a pretty good title and is very realistic. It also has a lot of options, which is perfect for the fans. A good game, but not good enough to beat the other race games this year.

    It's a shame Dead Island does not live up to the hype. Granted, the game is a lot of fun and Banoi makes for an entertaining and extremely atmospheric playground, but a lack of story and a lack of depth keep it from becoming an instant classic.

    Katamari Forever has original gameplay, but with this new game the gameplay is identical to the first one. A good game, but without any new gameplay possibilities.

    Slam Bolt Scrappers is a game that has some Tetris elements and it's very good to play on your own, but also with three other players. A good PlayStation Network game.
