    This portable adaption isn’t the best version of the game. It’s got the same problems like last year, most of the licenses are missing and there is nothing new to the gameplay. A game only for hardcore fans of the franchise.

    Frank West is a hilarious protagonist and the newly added checkpoints are a relief. Overall, however, there's a lack of new features to justify the price tag.

    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.

    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.

    This game is a strange kind of role playing game. You play the battles during the game with guns and that’s original. The game also contains a nice story and pretty cool environments. This game is a nice RPG but it isn’t the best RPG of the moment. Nice to try and play one time, but the missing of the tutorial and a very extreme learning curve is something that could have been better.

    An addictive game, pulled apart by terrible matchmaking.

    WWE 12 is yet again a great fighting game, but the game suffers a bit from some annoying bugs, visual mediocrity and repetitive gameplay. If you're a fan however, don't hesitate: there's enough content here to keep you busy until next year's outing.

    This game is based on your skills to press the different buttons as fast as possible to make a great rhythm. A simple game in its looks, but when you play it, the game has very different styles and that's great!

    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.

    A cool story draws you into this game and won't let you go until you've seen how it all ends. Beyond that, Binary Domain is a sweet shooter with intuitive controls and a nice, Japanese atmosphere. It's not all gold though, since a lack of in-game depth and a lackluster online multiplayer keep this game from reaching the top.

    Graphically there's nothing to complain about and in the end this is still good old bloody Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's just that the touch controls aren't that impressive and the camera tries desperately to become your mortal enemy. Thus the low score.

    This remake doesn't stand up to the reputation of the classic Nintendo 64 shooter and that's a real shame. Disappointing visuals, incredibly sucky AI and frustratingly long loading times are the main bad guys here.

    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.

    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.

    The return of one of the most legendary franchises isn’t perfect but pretty good. With unique elements and heavy shoot-outs a must have for the fans.

    The comeback of the funny duo. The gameplay is pretty much the same as the PlayStation 2 games, but with new features like flying. You can also play with Daxter when he’s transformed into the Dark Daxter. This game is a good PSP game, but the controls could have been better and the game is pretty short.

    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.

    The action in Alien Breed: Impact is pretty fun, but after a hour of playtime you will see that the game is way too repetitive and that's a shame. The concept is cool, but could have been a lot better.

    This reboot of an old franchise improves on the basic formula in almost every way. HD graphics ensure nice visuals and accessible, but challenging gameplay keeps you interested the whole time. You won't regret buying this fun little PlayStation Network game.

    Cubixx is a fine puzzle game. It's pretty hard to complete, but for the puzzle fans it is a real challenge to complete it. The game is hard, but fun at the same time.

    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.

    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.

    A neat idea transformed into a nice, little game. Agreed, sometimes it does get repetitive and frustration lurks around most corners, but in the end you won't regret putting some money and effort into Puddle.

    A few questionable design choices, like your inability to disable auto-aim and a camera way to close on your avatar, keep Unit 13 from reaching the absolute top. This is, however, a very solid shooter that will keep you playing for a long time to come.

    One of the best Vita launch games and the best puzzle game of 2012 so far, period. It's a shame the touch controls don't always work as well as they should, but overall this is a minor complaint.

    Play the bad guy in this game and create tunnels and monsters to avoid good people to get to the king. The game is fun for the fans of Badman, but for the most players this game is way too hard and repetitive.

    NBA Jam is a funny game that lets the player play 2 versus 2 in completely over the top basketball matches. This game is all about fun and that's the strongest part of the game. The graphical style is also unique and fun. You got the realistic NBA 2K11 game and the not so realistisch NBA Jam game, your choice!

    This game has nice gameplay and the game will take the player to different parts of the world. There is nothing really perfect about the game and nothing really bad. It's a nice part in the franchise and a nice PlayStation Portable game, but that's everything said.

    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.

    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.
