    This is the first episode of five and the first one is trying to be extremely funny, which is a bit too much at some points. On the other side the puzzles are fun and especially for fans of Sam & Max it is a good game to play. Do you like old-school point and click adventures? Then Sam & Max is a nice one to purchase.

    Homefront is a pretty short shooter with an unique setting and a great story. The game is original in most aspects, but way too short and the graphics are a bit poor. There are also a lot of annoying bugs that's making the game impossible to play.

    Dungeon Defenders is actually a pretty good game. The game has easy controls, fun characters and the online multiplayer is a blast. The twist on Tower Defense is actually quite interesting and keeps the game fresh for a rather long time.

    The new Need for Speed game is one hell of a ride, but a few annoyances keep it from gaining as much praise as its predecessors. A short singleplayer campaign, weak A.I., disappointing visuals and long loading times are the main setbacks.

    A mediocre, but fun game. The main letdowns are the lousy production values in cutscenes and the sometimes clumsy touchscreen controls.

    This game is in the first two hours extremely difficult, but after that you will understand the gameplay and then this game will become pretty cool. The game has a very good atmosphere, nice voice-acting and nice graphics. The game is hard, but it’s a good one!

    The Sims 3 on consoles is cool for the fans, but contains too many options so the game is confusing. The gameplay with the many different challenges is pretty fun and the new karma system can deliver hilarious situations. But the main problem is that the problems from the first part, like the pretty bad AI are still around.

    A nice pool game with good graphics, a cool soundtrack and a lot of gameplay options. You can play in the singleplayer and multiplayer, but the multiplayer is more interesting on a long term.

    The last part wasn’t the best one in the franchise, but Monumental and Capcom are back with a nice arcade kind of racer on every great circuit in the world, completely licensed with all the drivers and motorcycles. You can play a lot of modes and off course a career mode, which is a great part of this new game. Later this year you will also get free downloadable content and that contains the 2010 season.

    This game is meant to play with the PlayStation Move and it works pretty good. There are a lot of different game types and the game also contains a multiplayer. The only big question is why you have to play this if you can also play it for real.

    The gameplay of this game is a bit repetitive in the shootouts and the developer could have done a lot more with the many environments. The game is also too easy, except for the missions where you have to drive. That part is by far the best of the game and shows the real roots of Bizarre Creations.

    The story of The 3rd Birthday is extremely complicated, but the game has a lot of great elements. The feature 'overdiven' works perfect, the game is challenging and got epic boss fights. But there are also less good points, like the AI, the crappy voice-acting and the gameplay can be frustrating. A good game to check out, aside from the negative aspects.

    Less trashtalking and more hustling would have been nice, but this is definitely the best handheld pool game out there.

    MX vs. ATV Alive is a mid-priced game with the most important elements of the preview parts. But for the ultimate experience you have to buy downloadable content. Besides of that MX vs. ATV Alive is a decent off the road racer with good handling and different events. Only the graphics aren't impressive.

    The graphics and audio are weak, but the core gameplay is still as solid as ever. There may be a lack of innovation to justify buying both The Sims 3 and this glorified expansion pack though.

    Star Ocean is a great RPG when it comes to the fighting system and the story. Hardcore RPG fans will love it, but for the mainstream gamer it is too difficult because there aren't very much savepoints, the gameplay is a little bit slow and sometimes you don't really know what to do. A typical game for the more experienced RPG player.

    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.

    This is a great way to celebrate the twentieth birthday of a videogame icon. 2D Sonic still stands for a superb platforming experience, while 3D Sonic shows us yet again why this series has gone downhill.

    Being God is always fun, period! Challenging gameplay and a unique atmosphere make for a very addicting experience, but control issues and plain stupid AI keep it from reaching the absolute top in the genre.

    After ten years there is finally a new Alice game. The story is interesting, the platforming works great and the level design is fantastic, but the game looks a bit old and there are a few annoying mistakes in the gameplay and also the fighting system doesn't work perfect. But besides of that, this is a fine game for the fans.

    Singularity is a game with a few great elements, but also a game with another side. The graphics are a bit poor, but the voice-acting is great. The use of the Time Manipulation Device in the singleplayer is one of the best elements in the game and that counts also for the story and the many moments that you will like in this game. Not a bad game and not a very good game, so it's just a nice title.

    Even though it's fun to return to New Marais and battle vampires as the now extra powerful Cole McGrath, Festival of Blood feels to much like a last-minute afterthought to inFamous 2 to receive a higher score. Still, inFamous fans should not hesitate to buy this.

    Go underground and shoot some aliens in Red Faction Armageddon. The gameplay has gone back to the roots but it is lineair and the singleplayer is a bit short. The multiplayer modes are cool, but you won't play them for a long time. Red Faction: Armageddon is a fine game, but there are a lot of things that could have been a lot better.

    This game is pretty fun. You can race with 12 well known SEGA characters at 16 circuits. It’s a pretty typical kart game, but nevertheless it’s a lot of fun even though it’s mostly focusing on younger gamers. Nice graphics, nice audio, a lot of options and the most important thing: it’s a lot of fun!

    The portable version of the great PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 race game. It has a few different tracks, nice graphics and nice audio. Not the best racer this year, but a game that can provide a lot of fun.

    The world of White Knight Chronicles has a whole new story and the first game is also included! The gameplay is like the original game, but the fightingsystem has been improved and the multiplayer is really good and gives you hours of gameplay. Only we don't like the use of older environments from the first game instead of completely new ones and the story can be a bit lengthy.

    This game is pretty cool to play, but got camera issues and a buggy control scheme. The story, setting and sphere are a lot better than before. This game got a lot of issues but also a lot of good points to play. A nice title, noting less and nothing more.

    This game is a pretty simple online shooter with good maps and gameplay. The game has nice graphics, pretty cool audio and fine multiplayer modi. Besides all the positive elements the number of maps is a bit low and the learning curve is pretty high.

    The story is well-told and very well-presented. Otherwise, this game's graphics are a mixed bunch. Control-wise, there's just too little player input required to perform the grotesque things seen on screen.

    While the newest iteration in the Ratchet & Clank franchise is a little bit too childish for our tastes and at the same time fails to impress graphically, shooting up space monsters in four player co-op is a chaotic blast that will convince both fans and newcomers.
