    A game based on a movie, that remotely follows the film's plot, but still manages to some crucial mistakes in terms of story. The gameplay is fun, but way too simple. The adventure lasts long, but it's way too easy. And the graphics? Well, they're just mediocre.

    Gamers fat? Not after playing this game. It's fun, it's intensive and you will burn a lot of those mean stubborn calories. It is a little short however, with only 28 exercises available. And you are required to possess two PlayStation Move controllers, which is a lot to ask.

    The kids are going to love this and even we quickly grew attached to our very own virtual pet. There are however some downsides: the annoying voice-overs and the often failing Move controls tone down the fun.

    These guys need a wakeup call, now! This once great franchise is completely falling apart. Graphics? Weak. Audio? Even worse. Gameplay? Well, the controls are smooth and the card system is okay, but this is just a bay of good in a sea of bad.

    What? Are you sure this is the 2012 version and not its predecessor? Seriously? I never would have guessed.

    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.

    It's fun for the young ones, but we were utterly disappointed by this title. It's short, rather repetitive and above all the move controls aren't working as well as they should. Let this one pass.

    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.

    It's simple, it's fun, it's addictive. It's also quite challenging. And above all: it's brilliant.

    This is by far the best game in the franchise. You will have a blast playing through Saints Row: The Third and the so-called funniest game ever delivers on its premise. The graphical mediocrity is a shame, though.

    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.

    Long loading times, game crashes and framedrops are rather annoying, but other than that you will have a good time with this family game.

    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.

    Nooooooo!!! Where are the Trophies? IT CAN'T BE! This sequel to the PlayStation Move launch game Start the Party is a lot of fun if you're into this sort of mini-games. Be sure to stand right in front of your TV though… and seriously, why the complete lack of Trophies?

    Yes, you can find some bugs and glitches here and there, but that's to be expected. What you should remember is that this game will slaughter your personal life and won't let you go until you've explored every bit of its huge open world. Now go and buy Skyrim, you won't regret it.

    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.

    You won't find a lot of innovation here, but the same formula still stands its ground. Den defense is a bit underwhelming and the graphics engine starts showing its age, but nevertheless fans should not hesitate to pick this one up.

    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.

    This is a return to form, a fact that Rayman fans will certainly appreciate. It's a little bit inaccessible, but once you're past that problem, Origins will keep giving you reasons to come back.

    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.

    Harmony of Despair is a great and above all challenging game, especially when played with a friend. The lack of a story and the slow controls, however, are major let-downs.

    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.

    Modern Warfare 3 still has the great, spectacular gameplay the Call of Duty series has become known for and Survival is a fantastic addition to an already very attractive package. It's just that Infinity Ward doesn't manage to surprise us anymore and graphically... well, let's just say that the engine starts showing its age.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Long, unskippable cutscenes, an irritating camera and overall easiness keep an otherwise great co-op experience from reaching the top.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    This game is still one of the best games ever. Scary, memorable and revolutionary. Therefore it's a shame that the HD in the title doesn't at all translate itself into a noticeable graphical upgrade.

    There's no Remix modus and that's a shame, but this is by no means a gamebreaker. NBA Jam: On Fire is an accessible and incredibly fun game which will stay in your PS3 for a long time.

    Finally, they improved the camera! Sadly, this is the only thing about Ultimate Tenkaichi that doesn't make a Dragon Ball Z fan want to out of his second story-window.

    A mediocre game: Simple, accessible and fun gameplay in recognizable Disney settings, but way too chaotic and repetitive to leave a lasting impression.

    For those who haven't played Overkill on the Nintendo Wii: this is a nice little zombieshooter you won't regret fishing out of the bargain bin. For those who have: you'll find a slightly better looking version of the same game here, with a few extras that don't manage to add anything significant.

    The short singleplayer campaign is disappointing, but we've come to expect that from the Battlefield franchise. Online this third iteration is still among the best shooters out there, even though we feel like DICE has made too much changes in an attempt to attract hardened Call of Duty fans.
