    This game is a collaboration between a few great developers, but the quality isn't that we were hoping for. The gameplay is repetitive, the graphics aren't really good, the humor is a bit cheesy and the swearing is a bit too much. Besides that the game can be fun to play, but that says everything.

    Transformers: War for Cybertron was one of the best Transformers games and after playing this, that game is still the best. It doesn't mean this game sucks, but it can be repetitive, the graphics and audio aren't that great and the game is a bit short. There is a multiplayer, but that isn't really interesting.

    This HD remake is a perfect opportunity to get the game if you missed the game on the PlayStation 2. A pretty good game with a unique setting and fine gameplay. Even in 2011 the gameplay is great and the HD graphics are looking awesome.

    The new adventure of Cole McGrath is even better than the previous one. The new powers, abilities and the possibility to make your own missions and share them with the world, works great. A great PlayStation 3 exclusive.

    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.

    After more than a decennium the Duke is finally back in Duke Nukem Forever but the game isn't really great. It has fantastic humor and the fans will appreciate this game, but technically it's way too old for a good PlayStation 3 game. It's a shame that Gearbox didn't update the game more at the technical aspect.

    Most of the gamers doesn't play chess normally, but that doesn't mean Chess is boring. TopWare delivers with Battle vs. Chess a fine chess game with fine graphics, a good challenge and a lot of variety. Of course is not everything in the game brilliant, but Battle vs. Chess is a nice surprise.

    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.

    Outland is a mix of different good elements from different games. The graphical style is a bit floating, the audio sounds magical and the gameplay can be really tough but is good. Every gamer that will enjoy playing a pretty hard platform game must buy Outland.

    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.

    DiRT 3 is the best part in the DiRT franchise. The game contains a lot of different disciplines and also Gymkhana and that last one works great. The game does look awesome, the audio and soundtrack are great and the gameplay is sublime!

    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.

    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.

    L.A. Noire is a fantastic game. Playing with Cole Phelps as a detective can be really interesting. The gameplay is great, the graphics are brilliant because of the new MotionScan technology and Los Angeles is full of details. A lot of words to describe the game, but two will suffice: must buy!

    A typical game based upon a movie. A few elements are good, but most of the game is pure crap. Thor: God of Thunder does have a lot of strange bugs and doesn't look very well, the audio is also very poor and the game has big troubles with the framerate. Probably only for the diehard fans.

    SEGA sticks with the arcade gameplay for years and also in Virtua Tennis 4. It looks fine, plays well and the World Tour mode is pretty cool. But the audio sounds like it is coming directly from the eighties and it is a bit too easy.

    The concept of Patapon still stands like a house. The gameplay is more of the same with important but little improvements to make it fun to play for the third time. The gameplay is very deep, the graphics are nice and the audio can be really annoying, but sounds good at the same time. The third Patapon game is just like the two previous ones - a fine game.

    Dancing and singing within one game and it's working too. Dancing with the PlayStation Move is working great and while dancing you can sing with the SingStar mics. You can sing and dance on the most famous Michael Jackson songs and you can also participate in the dancing school to learn how to dance, even the moonwalk.

    This small warming up for Red Faction: Armageddon is a nice try. You can play with a vehicle and you have to kill all the other players. It's like the traditional modes within multiplayer games, deathmatch, team deathmatch and more and it's vehicle based. Fun and it works nice, but there aren't many maps, the game can be a bit boring and the price is pretty high.

    This game contains one of the best Final Fantay games with an epic story and soundtrack. The gameplay is traditional and can be really challenging, still it's probably one of the best Final Fantasy compilations of the past years. There isn't one bad aspect of the classic game, instant buy.

    Ed Boon delivers with Mortal Kombat one of the best games in the franchise. The gameplay is almost perfect and the fatalities are fantastic, the length of the game is almost infinite and everyone can play it. Mortal Kombat is currently the best fighting game you can get.

    Another good game in the Operation Flashpoint franchise. The co-op feature is working great and also the new Fireteam Engagement is aside from the singleplayer a great new element of the game. The game still has poor graphics and the AI can be really annoying, but still, you will have fun.

    Hard Corps is the spiritual sequel of the classic Contra game. The gameplay is oldschool because you have to walk from left to right and shoot everything that comes on your path. With upgrades you can make your character better and better and the game can be still pretty challenging.

    This game isn't perfect, but can be really fun because of the combos and the platform elements. On the other side there isn't a lot action, the conversations are a bit boring and the gameplay can be annoying at some times.

    The comeback of Zipper Interactive with the SOCOM franchise is a pretty good one. This game does have a decent singleplayer, co-op feature and a good multiplayer. The game is for his largest part good, but it can't give the same feeling that SOCOM II did back in the old days. A good game, but it could have been better.

    A PSN game based on the new movie. This game is a first person shooter and the only thing you have to do is kill every alien that comes on your path. The graphical style is unique and nice, but the rest of the game isn't great. It's repetitive and boring and the audio is bad.

    Chell is still locked up in the Aperture Laboratories and you are trying to escape for the second time. This time you'll play a singleplayer with ten hours of gameplay and brilliant puzzles. The humor is great and the new co-op mode is fantastic. Valve delivers with Portal 2 one of the best games of 2011 already.

    WWE All Stars is a complete over the top spin-off of the usual WWE Smackdown vs. Raw games. You can play with current legends and also with old legends in the singleplayer and exhibition mode. The gameplay is pretty easy and really fun, a cool title.

    Chime was released a few years ago and now Chime Super Deluxe is an extended version of the game for the PlayStation 3 with multiplayer features and more levels. The gameplay is something you've seen from DJ Hero and Tetris and could have a really addicting effect.

    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.
