    The move controls are a bit 'hit and miss' and having to go back to the XMB every time you want to play another part of this compilation is a major annoyance, but other than that these are some incredibly fun puzzle games.

    A nice sequel of the previous one, but the game got a few issues. The camera is annoying, it has repetitive gameplay and the audio is a little bit on the basic side. On the other side, has the game nice graphics and a lot of playable characters.

    Cars 2: The Video Game is all about racing on circuits and to win by irritating other players with different weapons and more. It is fun for the younger gamers, but the difficulty can be really easy and hard at the same time. There isn't a real balance and the speed of some cars are pretty low.

    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.

    This new part in the franchise does contain a few new fine features, but the engine is getting old and the Road to Wrestlemania isn't very interesting. Eventually every fan can have a lot of fun with this game, but if you own the 2010 part, then you don't have to buy this new one.

    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.

    Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a great game with a brilliant soundtrack. You can play the Quest mode where you have to unlock special powers to destroy a monster that has locked away the demigod of the Rock. Completely nonsense story wise, but nice to play. If you like the franchise, you can't miss this one.

    It's not the best HD Collection out there, but it shows us why this series is still around after all these years. Devil May Cry 2 is still a major disappointment, but one part 1 and 3 more than make up for it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A great adaptation of the console version. At least 800 cars, more than 40 tracks and great graphics. It’s kind of sad the career mode isn’t in this game, but the challenges and the quick race options are a nice replacement.

    You play with a blob in de Blob 2 and you have to paint everything in the levels with different colors to defeat the evil guy that has transformed everything in a sad gray and ugly world. The gameplay is pretty good, but the camera isn't which also count for the useless co-op feature of the game.

    If not for the often failing SIXAXIS controls, this would have been the perfect puzzle experience. Simple, yet challenging gameplay complemented by a great visual style and ditto soundtrack make Mercury Hg a continuation of form for Archer MacLean.

    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.

    Battling chickens and penguins is a lot of fun. The only problem with it is that it is too easy. That and the overall lack of originality make for a mediocre game that does not stand out among its contemporaries.

    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.

    Mini Ninjas is for the little gamers. The game has a lot of great humor and a very interesting visual style. But the missing cooperative option is a great miss.

    LocoRoco Midnight Carnival got a few improvements compared to the last part. But is isn’t really a new game but more an expansion. The game is still pretty cool and a well start for new players. Veterans have seen all this before except the few improvements. Those aren’t really shocking after all.

    Another LEGO game with the same old gameplay. The game doesn't do anything new, but it's fun because of Jack Sparrow, who's always funny. The humor of Jack Sparrow combined with the LEGO humor is a great combination. A fun game for everyone.

    Are you a fan of horror? Then Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a fine game to play. The right Silent Hill atmosphere is present and there are a lot of aspects to make this new part a nice one. Horror and Silent Hill fans! This is your game!

    A fun puzzle game with true challenging levels. The gameplay is pretty simple and the graphics are mediocre and the audio is annoying but besides of all that Funky Lab Rat is a solid game.

    Originality is the hallmark of a great game and while Eufloria has its flaws – it's rather repetitive due to a lack of variation – it more than makes up for it with its unique premise and ditto execution.

    Diversity rarely makes or breaks a game, but a lack of options certainly hurts.

    EA's first attempt at a tennis game doesn't manage to live up to its main concurrents, the main letdowns being a lack of players, an uneven difficulty and incredibly repetitive commentary tracks. A third game in the series might fix most of these problems though.

    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.

    ModNation Racers is on the PlayStation 3 a great game, but on the PlayStation Portable it's possibly even better. The game has great customize options, a lot of gameplay, great graphics and many more positive elements. Only one annoying thing is the loading times, those are also on this handheld way too long.

    Gravity Crash is a real traditional arcade shooter that is a little bit different than all those similar games you can find on the internet. It’s fun to play, but the story is crap and you can’t play the game online. It is a nice PSN game, but we’ve seen a lot, lot better.

    The amount of destruction, the very interesting City creator and overall smooth controls make Ridge Racer: Unbounded a great game for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

    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.
