Krater could have been a wonderful game but messes up in the gameplay department. The gameplay tends to get repetitive and the story isn't that great. Krater has turned out to be a pretty weak start of a franchise.

This Madagascar game is, just as it's predecessors, very adorable. The minigame kind of gameplay is connected through the story of the movie and there's enough variation to keep it interesting. It does get a bit repetitive after one town, and walking goes very slowly, but this game is perfect to play with a child.

Iron Front really has a realistic atmosphere, there's a lot of different modes to choose from and the German/Russian voices are done well. The game is not really playable though, because it crashes a lot. Cutscenes cannot be skipped and there are some important explanations missing.

Gods & Kings is a very complete expansion pack. The added espionage and the new and improved religion system make this game a lot better. Civilization V has become a lot deeper with this DLC and almost all of the original problems have been fixed.

With Lollipop Chainsaw, Suda 51 has once again found a great mix between fun, varied gameplay and tons of humor. The action might not really stand out and the game has its issues, but it's a great, fun ride.

Harley Quinn's Revenge offers more of the same and that is what we wanted after the original single-player story was over. On the other hand, there is nothing that will keep you coming back after you finish the short story. Harley Quinn's Revenge is a good reason to boot up Arkham City once more, but keep your expectations on the low.

Gravity Rush offers an interesting concept and a great audiovisual style, capable of creating an instant classic. Unfortunately fighting can be frustrating and the ending can be unclear, keeping this game from achieving said status.

Dead Hungry Diner is a pretty good indie game, despite the very simple main concept. In fifty levels you won't get bored one single time. With just an endless amount of minor additions that you get while playing through te game, Dead Hungry Diner strikes the right chord.

The balance in Gratuitous Tank Battles is spot on and the A.I. is very good. It's possible to create your own maps, which is always a good thing. It's just a shame that there isn't a multiplayer mode to test your skills against others.

Operation Raccon City has a pretty good multiplayer and some smooth controls. That is unfortunately where the goodness ends. The singleplayer is weak and the A.I. is just as stupid as the zombies.

PixelJunk 4AM should be seen as an instrument instead of a game. Unfortunately the Move-controller does not have too many options and that's why this is an instrument that will not be fun for too long. It's too bad you need other people to give you kudos and gamers will probably miss the traditional game elements, which seems to be making PixelJunk 4AM simply not interesting enough.

Out of the Park Baseball 13 is the best baseball simulation game out there. The game manages to improve over last year's edition and makes the experience much more realistic.

Gemini Wars sadly offers only a singleplayer campaign. A multiplayer or even a skirmish mode is nowhere to be seen. Players who love RTS-games with a nice story will however enjoy Gemini Wars.

It's obvious that, when you're playing a sport game starring Mario, it's gonna be a fun. But there could have been meer content. Also the 3D effects aren't all that special. Don't forget to play the great mini game: Super Mario Tennis!

Resistance:Burning Skies offers decent controls and pretty cool weapons. Although that's an accomplishment in itself, the game does nothing further to set itself apart and merely offers a mediocre experience.

Although this hack 'n slash game has its flaws, it is quite fun and enjoyable. If you like the genre then you better get it, and not only because it's very affordable.

Hitman: Sniper Challenge is a great appetizer for Absolution. In the beginning you may be a bit lost but after a few games you shoot people down like it's your job. You'll become a real hitman and that is perhaps the best thing a game like Sniper Challenge can do. If this quality remains in Absolution, expect great things.

This classic Sonic game gets very hard when played on your own, but as soon as a friend joins and plays as Tails, everything gets a bit too easy. This games misses gimmicky new features and the levels do not differ much, apart from the theme ofcourse. It's fun to run around with the super speedy Sonic, but unfortunately this game lacks innovation.

Is TERA worth your time? It depends. Can you handle an endless barrage of generic quests? If the answer is 'yes', you'll find yourself emmerged in a fantastic world. Even though TERA follows a path that is well known in the MMO-handbook, it manages to lift the genre to a higher level in some ways. One of of those ways is the nearly perfect combat system, Also, fans of PvP elements will find a heavenly experience in this absolute pearl of an MMO.

While Face Off adds an intense new game mode, the Spec-Ops missions fail to impress. The balance between the content in this expansion isn't right at all.

For seven euros you get a new mountain, seven 'new' characters and three 'new' songs. It expands your SSX experience and will keep you busy for a while, but it's just not enough. If there were multiple routes, the DLC would get a higher mark.

Sorcery offers a very cool way of using the PlayStation Move and brings a funny story suitable for any age. That is why it is a shame that he rest of the game offers very little content. The story is about zeven hours long and doesn't trigger the player to keep playing. Overall it's still a game that every Move-owner should get a taste of.

Sniper Elite V2 is a disappointing sniper game that doesn't stimulate you to act like a real sniper. The level design is poor and the enemies lack intelligence. Even the nice kill cam couldn't save the game from a poor rating.

Without a doubt: DiRT Showdown will be the best racing game for this year. Because you will laugh your ass off during the multiplayer and won't be able to put down the controller.

Playing with gravity is fun, especially when it's so clean and simple like in the super retro game VVVVVV. The graphics make it feel like an old game from the late 1980's, but at the same time it's so refreshing and fun that it fits perfectly in the year 2012. Respawning is fast and there are many checkpoints, so this game does hardly get very frustrating. We do miss the option to make and share levels though.

When people talk about Dragon's Dogma, they immediately ask the question weither it's better than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Don't do that. Both games are just great in their own way.

Awesomenauts is truly awesome and lets you play with deep characters in a fun tactical eighties environment. The game is unbalanced at times and there aren't too many characters and maps, but that shouldn't stop you from buying this game.

The fantastic soundtrack, perfect way of storytelling and the pixel art make you forget the lack of a challenge. The game still feels like an iOS-game, but who cares when it is this brilliant? It might not be the game everyone is going to play, but the one that brings an unforgettable experience.

This is the best fighting game you can get for the Vita. It's actually the version that appeared for the consoles last year, but there are some new options especially meant for the Vita. They are fun but nothing special.

The Williams Collection Pinball Hall of Fame 3D is a fun pinball game, but it is way too expensive. The game offers simply too little for fourty bucks.

Max Payne 3 is not as revolutionary as the original, still this third-person shooter is one of the best games of 2012 so far. With it's phenomenal animations, suberb shoot-outs and it's breathtaking singleplayer it's a must have for shooterfans. Apart from a couple asperities as annoying checkpoints and a lack of variety, there is little to complain about Max Payne 3.

Starhawk is a decent online multiplayer game, but the gameplay is not unique enough. The concept is original, but lacks variation. You won't remember this game in thirty years.

Warlock: Master of the Arcane brings you a magical world where winning battles gives you a pretty good feeling. The diplomacy part of the game is pretty shallow and the lack of a multiplayer mode is just a shame.

After twelve long years the master of all dungeon crawlers is back. Diablo III is a must-have for every PC-gamer and offers tons of fun, loot and content.

Datura is a game, but most of all an experience. Like a boy scout you walk around in a very peaceful forest which is relaxing. But as you walk along you'll discover that this forest might not be as peaceful as you thought. It does depend on your choices how the game will end, but unfortunately Datura is not very clear about that, so it seems to be a very short game, while there actually are more than ten endings to it.

Battleship shouldn't be played by anyone. The game is just incomplete and has many issues.

Minecraft on the Xbox 360 is just as fun as it is on the PC. The only limitation is your own imagination.

An improvement to the original, but with that everything has also been said. The story is dull, the visuals lack spirit and main character Heller is annoying as hell.

UEFA Euro 2012 gives you the feeling that EA Sports didn't deliver its best work. The gameplay has become worse and the online mode is fun but has some uninspired options. Come on EA Sports, this isn't what we're used to.

Fable Heroes, a spin-off in the renowned Fable franchise, is definitely worth playing for the Fable fans in their wait for the still unannounced Fable IV. Compare it to a nice piece of music you listen to while waiting for help at customer service. With a high replay value, for 800 Microsoft Points, Fable Heroes is certainly worth your money.

Skullgirls is a fun and surprisingly deep fighter with cute audiovisuals and great gameplay. Its only flaw is the lack of a command-list.

A New Day starts an adventure that we don't want to finish. The engaging story, brutal action and beautiful comic style make us eager for more and more.

Bloodforge is too hard and too frustrating to enjoy. It's impossible to change the difficulty of the game, there aren't enough places to heal and the gameplay keeps repeating itself. The graphics are great, but the camera is not. Another great part of the frustration is the boring music, that starts when there are enemies on screen and ends when they have been eliminated.

Is The Splatters a good game? On a certain level: yes. It feels great to fire creepily laughing slimeblogs. The difficulty however leads to an incredibly tedious gameplay experience. Simply said, this game is not suited for everyone. You're warned.

Collection 1 has become a complete package, but it lacks originality. It steals components from previous Call of Duty games and that's a great shame. We expected more from this one.

Diabolical Pitch is a fun game, but sadly it lacks originality and after some time the game becomes boring. The multiplayer is the best part of this over-the-top baseball game.

FarSight Studios made a great decission filling The Pinball Arcade with real life pinball machines. They've all been thoroughly tested through the years and are, even in this digital format, some of the greatest pinball machines ever.

Fez is a videogame with brilliant puzzles that will kill your brain. It might take you a while to crack one of these puzzles, but the payoff is great! Together with the beautiful and atmospheric graphics, Fez makes for one hell of an Xbox Live Arcade game.

Developer Ganbarion shows it has a lot of talent and great vision, yet not enough to turn Pandora's Tower into a great game. The story and bossfights do make this a fun experience, but the combat lacks depth and the camera is occasionally uncooperative.

RIsen 2: Dark Waters looks amazing and lets you explore a massive world that feels very alive. The combat could have been better and some small errors can be annoying, but overall Risen 2 is better then its predecessor in basically every aspect.

Naval War: Arctic Circle is a deep strategical game that might attract some hardcore gamers. Most people however won't be impressed with the bad graphics and the sub-par multiplayer.

Trials Evolution just might be the best Xbox Live Arcade game out there. There's a ton of trial and error going on, but you'll keep coming back for more no matter what.

Anomaly: Warzone Earth does something different with the tower defense genre and does it well. You're dropped in the middle of the action and always have something to do. The Tactical Trials are a great addition to this XBLA version of the game. They are fun and make you try something else. A great game, for only 800 Microsoft Points.

The Silent Hill HD Collection is a disgrace to the series. Fans won't recognize anything from the good old games and should only get this because of the low price.

This is a decent collection but it feels like it's been made very quickly. But even though not everything is in high definition, Dante still rocks!

Rhythm Thief is, in spite of its flaws, one of the best titles this spring for the Nintendo 3DS. SEGA brings us a musical adventure with splendid characters, a nicely written script, a traditional soundtrack and a nice mixture of Elite Beat Agent, Professor Layton and Samba the Amigo.

It's difficult to review Kinect Star Wars. First of all, it finally gives you that awesome moment you've been waiting for: controlling and using the force. And believe us, it's really awesome. But then that awkward moment comes when you realize the gameplay is not actually quite that good.

PokéPark 2 suffers from clunky controls and a lack of challenge. Only the young Pokémon fans will overlook that for an overall happy and cuddly game.

Silent Hill: Downpour takes a jump to bring the series back the its roots. Despite good intentions, the game has a lot of flaws. Let's hope the next Silent Hill takes a better jump and actually scares us to death.

Confrontation manages to score some points in a few areas, for example the concept. Also, the combat can get pretty difficult at times and encourages a tactical mind, which is a plus. Thank the heavens for the included pause button. Unfortunately, most of the ideas are very poorly executed and the gameplay is incredibly linear. For a 39.99 euro game, we would have expected more. A lot more.

The several power-ups and the five unique classes in World Tour make up for the somewhat repetitive gameplay. But we want dynamic gameplay and awesome features that will keep our adrenaline high. Also, the lack of split-screen is an absolute dealbreaker because Wheels of Destruction could be a great game if a local co-op feature was included. That is not the case however. A cool concept, but a poor execution. Disappointing.

The franchise has been murdered by Team Ninja itself. Every little thing that made the previous games so great has disappeared in Ninja Gaiden 3.

The Witcher 2 is amazing! Not the graphics, but the gameplay is the thing that will keep the players happy. This just might be the greatest PC-to-console port ever made.

This is a good Naruto game and absolutely a must have for the fans. There's a lot to explore but it must be said that it's a shame there isn't a tutorial for people who are new to the franchise or haven't ever watched the anime.

The concept of Potzol's Puzzle is pretty unique and works great on the 3DS. There are a lot of different game modes to explore but unfortunately it all comes down to the same thing: aiming blocks through holes in a wall. This can cause boredom after a while.

The A.I. isn't great and the lack of offline co-op is a bummer. The online co-op is the only reason you might buy this game.

If you get excited by the thought of an airplane, there's enough content in Birds of Steel to keep you satisfied for a while. If you're more like the rest of us and just want to have some fun in the air, you'll be disappointed. The simplified mode is too easy and gets boring after a while. The realistic and simulator modes are too hard and unless you've got some experience in the virtual airspace, you'll give up before the second mission. It's too bad there is no mode that mixes the accessibility of the first mode but with the challenge of the other modes.

Bumbledore is a small indie game that looks a lot like Angry Birds, so you know what to expect when you decide to buy this game. In Bumbledore, you play a little bee that needs to protect his hive from invading wasps and insects. The concept is far from original but can be great for short sessions. Now, if you will excuse us, we have a huge load of honey to keep safe.

If you're a fan of fighting games, you will absolutely love BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend. It has a ton of modes, it looks beautiful and it even has a good storyline. However, the lack of content is what will stop people who have played the previous games, from buying this one.

Waveform is created out of a unique concept and is mostly made for casual gamers. The gameplay can be difficult though, making it interesting for the hardcore as well. This game will frustrate you at times though. It's also a shame that the music gets boring after a while.

Happy Action Theater is not really a game. It is however an impressive demo that shows what Kinect is able to do. It's fun to see yourself on the screen, instead of a small avatar. Unfortunately, developer Double Fine hasn't fully used Kinect's camera. It just isn't enough.

Shoot Many Robots is not really the kind of game that you should buy full price. But if you're looking for a game with a nice co-op to play with you're friends, then look no further.

This game has a unique style and is good in general, yet lacks smooth controls. The 3DS-standard is also not that impressive.

This isn't a good game for kids because of the terrible Kinect support. It's best to watch Pixar movies instead of playing them.

Cubemen is a simplistic tower defense game with a unique style that is best to be enjoyed offline. There are a lot of different game modes to enjoy and the AI is pretty good. Things tend to get a bit too simplistic however as all of the levels basically look the same and you can't upgrade any of your units. The multiplay can get frustrating as well, as people just tend to spam the cheapest units available.

Army Corps of Hell is ironically repetetive and boring as hell. The game also looks pretty bad and one of the only good features is the soundtrack. Still, it doesn't help the game get a better rating.

Rayman 3 is very fun to play even after eight years. Sadly Ubisoft didn't change much of the game except the graphics. There are numerous bugs that bother the game and the camera movement isn't working well either. Besides that it's a very good downloadable title.

Fowl Space is full of sexual innuendos and parodies. It is this comedy that makes Fowl Space an enjoyable game. However if you drop the jokes you're left with a very short and simplistic platform game. If you're not amused by the idea of a cock shooting a dubious white substance in the face of a viking, you better leave Fowl Space alone.

Sine Mora has a complex story with a ton of options that make for an interesting experience. Things like time manipulation, power-ups and a lot of different weapons ensure for a broad game with a lot to offer.

Ridger Racer is back and manages to impress with some great gameplay and a brilliant soundtrack. The City Creator is bigger then ever, yet is only at its best when you've finished the game. The tons of new possibilities are great but they make the game a bit cluttered, giving you the feeling that you aren't accomplishing much. The multiplayer has also been expanded and will keep you entertained for many hours to come.

Kids might like it, but anyone above the age of ten will look through this shallow game.

You will have seen everything the single player has to offer in just a few hours. The multiplayer however is hectic and fun and is truly the highlight of the game.

Of all the games with low production values, this one isn't all that bad. It definitely has it flaws, but it's enjoyable so you could do a lot worse.

How many more reasons do you need to buy Fallout: New Vegas. With the Ultimate Edition, you will get tons of content for a fair price. If you don't already own this game, run to the stores immediately!

The Sims 3: Showtime manages to make The Sims even completer then it already is. It perfectly responds to what the target audience wants and completes the social aspect of the game totally. This is one of those expansions that you simply cannot miss.

Snake Eater still is a great game, but this 3D-remake is the worst version available. Even though it has some decent 3D-effects, it simply cannot beat the MGS HD-collection in term of content.

Dead Souls' controls and camera will work on your nerves frequently. Luckily, you'll get used to it pretty fast, allowing you to see a game with a good story, humor and so on. So without a doubt, you should give this one a try.

This game is a remake from a remake and therefore too expensive. The previous game on the PS3 is cheaper and has the same content. But if you don't have a PS3 then you can always look into this version.

Dillon's Rolling Adventure is a fun and original tower defense game. It feels great to roll around and fight a bunch of weird monsters. Unfortunately the gameplay gets too repetitive near the end.

Mario Party 9 contains a lot of new mini games and changes the rules of the game completely. The new rules are boring and everything depends on luck. Therefore this is the worst Mario Party title ever.

Really Big Sky is a very colorful game and really easy to understand. It sadly offers just a handful of bosses and enemies. Still, this game is worth the purchase.

Sure, Nexuiz is a fun shooter, but only under the right conditions. Unfortunately those right conditions are pretty rare, leaving you with unbalanced teams and terrible music.

Fall of the Samurai is one of the best expansion packs that we've seen in a long time. The huge amount of new troops, technologies en agents make sure that you'll never get bored with the campaign. There are a lot of new strategic options to discover in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

Fortunately, Wargame dares to take chances and succesfully follows a different path than other games in the genre. The way you control the battlefield over several levels, like R.U.S.E. did, gives a whole new dimension to real-time gaming. The incredible amount of unlockables you can earn, encourages you to keep playing and set up your own perfect army. Be aware of the chaotic battles that will commence on your screen, as some people's head may eventually explode. Just a friendly warning.

Deep Black: Reloaded manages to take a potentially good idea and turn it into a living hell. Due to the lack of variation and the high amount of bad technical performances, it is a nightmare to play this game. Everyone should wisely stay away from this one.

This reboot is the best thing EA Sports could do with the franchise. FIFA Street feels like a fresh new experience. It has so many to offer; 5-A-Side, Panna Rules, indoor football, World Tour mode, etc. You won't be ever be bored while playing this game.

The platforming elements in these Jak & Daxter games are still as good as ever and look amazing in high definiton. The camera might be your worst enemy at times, but for a very low price you'll get a ton of gameplay.

Mass Effect 3 isn't a perfect game, but what you get is one hell of a science fiction experience that you'll never forget.
