    Alpha Protocol is a nice title, but it has too many little annoying points to be really good. The graphics are poor, the audio isn’t the best and a lot of the environments are coming back a few times throughout the game. The game is nice to play, but it could have been a lot better and that’s a shame.

    Pure Football is a nice soccer game, but it could have been a lot better. The gameplay is fun, but it has some complications. Visually the game is nice, but the audio isn’t, because it’s kind of empty. Pure Football is a nice combination of FIFA Street and 2010 FIFA World Cup. Short: a nice game, but could have been a lot better.

    Mario Kart, but for adults. You can race in different licensed cars and you can use power-ups against the other drivers. The game contains a lot of fun and guarantees lot’s of hours of gameplay. The singleplayer is cool and also the multiplayer is quite fun. If you’re looking for a cooler Mario Kart, than Blur is your game!

    ModNation Racers is a great game to customize your own characters, carts and tracks. If you liked LittleBigPlanet with its possibilities to create your own stuff, then you will love this game. The possibilities are huge and besides of that, the game contains a lot of fun in the single player and multiplayer. Only the loading times are a bit annoying, but ModNation Racers is still a great game.

    The new part in the UFC franchise is a great game, just like the last one. In this new game there is more blood and there are more players. The career mode is once again fantastic, so the fans will love it. Besides all the great points there are also some bad points. The collision detection is a bit poor, the long time to connect to the online multiplayer and online code which is only usable once.

    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.

    Rockstar does it again. Delivering a great game we mean. Red Dead Redemption has the gameplay of Grand Theft Auto, but situated in the Wild West. Go with John Marston through an exciting adventure in a great environment full of details. Besides some collision detection problems and many glitches/bugs Red Dead Redemption is a great game.

    One of the most fine arcade racers at this time is Split/Second: Velocity. It has great environments that can change throughout the game, it has great graphics and the use of powerplays is fantastic. Only one small problem is the AI and online it can be a bit unbalanced. Besides of that, Split/Second: Velocity is great!

    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.

    After fifteen years Sparkster is back in a brand new adventure. The game is a pure platform game with great jetpack possibilities. The game is fun to play and also addictive. Visually the game looks stunning and the audio is fine. If you are looking for a fine platformer on your PlayStation 3, then Rocket Knight is a great purchase!

    A game that is meant to be played by kids. The gameplay is pretty repetitive and the whole game is very short. It is more fun when played with multiple people, but then also the game isn't great. It's good for the children, but it could have been a lot, lot better.

    SKATE 3 is a very cool game. It has got a lot of challenges in a huge city and fine but difficult gameplay. If you are looking for a realistic skateboard game, then SKATE 3 is the one you must go buy. The humor is great, it plays great, the audio is cool and graphics are nice.

    This is already the third part in the franchise and it's sad to see that the quality is a lot poorer than before. The game has nice graphics and a nice story, but the gameplay is repetitive and the controls are a bit crappy. The die-hard fans will get some fun out of it, but that's all.

    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.

    Capcom is in Lost Planet 2 completely focusing on the multiplayer and as a result of that: the AI is completely crap. You have to play this game with more players and then it will be fun. On your own it could have been a lot better, but the AI is ruining it all. The graphics could also have been better and another annoying thing is the limited amount of savepoints. It isn’t a really bad game, but Capcom could have made more of it.

    Iron Man 2 the movie is pretty cool, but the game is the complete opposite. The graphics are poor and look like those of a PlayStation 2 game and the audio isn’t great either. The gameplay is repetitive and there is no atmosphere in the game. Don’t buy this game, it’s too bad and that’s a shame.

    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.

    This game is a typical pick up and play game. The game is at no point brilliant,[!] but contains a lot of fun. It's nice to play because of the action and the gameplay with the dog Shadow works well. It could have been better with the graphics and audio, but besides that it is a nice game.

    NIER is a kind of strange name for a game in our language, but the game itself isn't strange at all. It's pretty nice actually. It has a great atmosphere, brilliant audio and pretty cool enemies to fight against. But it's sad to see the graphics are more like a PlayStation 2 game then a PlayStation 3 game, so it could have been a lot better. But if you are looking for a great hack and slash game with RPG elements, then NIER wil be a nice game to play or add to your collection.

    Super Street Fighter IV is more of the same. It has ten new fighters, an Endless Battle mode and a Replay Channel. Although it is more of an expansion to Street Fighter IV, you can still see it as a good game. Every fan of the franchise must buy this part,because it has a lot of extra features that makes it worth buying.

    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.

    This game isn’t a game for the big audience; most of the players wouldn’t like the old gameplay. But if you are a die-hard or retro fan, then After Burner is a nice arcade game. Once again, the game isn’t for everyone, but for the right people it will deliver serious fun.

    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.

    The television series is great, but the game isn’t. The main aspects are stealth gameplay, fighting and quick time events. Only the stealth part works in this game, the other two don’t. The graphics are nice and the audio is fine. The voice-acting could have been better, but overall it’s good to listen to.

    Just Cause 2 is huge. It has a big world to play in, you can drive, fly or sail to your destination and while you are on your way to get there you can do a lot of crazy stunts. This game is fun, really fun, with nice gameplay and graphics. The audio isn’t bad, but could have been better. If you like open world games and fun, then Just Cause 2 is surely a game for you!

    This game is mainly for a younger audience. The gameplay is pretty simple, so everyone can pick it up. The audio isn’t really great and some lines are repeated over and over. Visually the game has an interesting array of colors but it is never really fantastic. How To Train Your Dragon: a game that could have been a lot better.

    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.

    The last part in the trilogy is one of the best PlayStation 3 games ever. Kratos is back and he's pissed off at Zeus and the other Gods. In this third part Kratos fights against the biggest enemies ever and that all in brilliant graphics with brilliant audio and a lot (and we mean a lot) of blood and gore. Everybody should buy this game!

    This is a good expansion of the existing game with a lot of new gameplay and fun. Every gamer that liked the original should buy this one. It’s the same idea as the original, but with a lot of new things to do.

    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.
