    Avoid this game at all cost! Don't even think about buying this it. FlatOut 3: Chaos and Destruction is pure garbage!

    The Vita version of Virtua Tennis 4 offers the same modes and options as its console brothers. But there lies the problem, there aren't many new concepts that can be enjoyed. However, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is still a lot of fun.

    Syndicate is a really cool game that shines through its great co-op modes. The singleplayer is great, but the multiplayer is where its at. Beware for an action overdose.

    Shinobido 2 starts out as a fun stealth-game but quickly becomes repetitive in both gameplay and environments. It tries to keep us interested by offering many possibilities and a decent atmosphere, but fails to keep the boredom away for to long.

    In essence, Ridge Racer Vita is a pretty fun racer with some interesting concepts. It is sold for a far too high price and with far too little content however, seriously holding back the game's potential.

    Shank 2 has better controls than its predecessor. But it's a big failure that the co-op function has been deleted and the current multiplayer mode isn't all that special. So in short, Shank 2 is a good game, but it could have been better.

    UFC Undisputed 3 is easily the best game in the franchise. It's suitable for beginners as well as UFC veterans. Despite a few flaws it's still a must buy for fans of the sport.

    Games should sometimes only be judged by the fact of weather they're fun or not. Well, lads, Reality Fighters is fun. It has a simplistic gameplay but it's just fun so enjoy the ride.

    Touch my Katamari offers a slightly low amount of amusing levels to roll through and with the addition of ball-morphing, it's more fun than ever. The weirdness also makes a triumphant return, though it is starting to show its age.

    Mario and Sonic are two legendary characters that unfortunately don't always guarantee a good game. There are a lot of mini games to play but the lack of an online multiplayer is annoying. There's only local and download play. It's funny but only kids will be able to enjoy it to the max.

    The loading times are horrible. But despite that the game is just fun. Come on, it's WipEout. You know you can expect a good quality game.

    It's the weakest game in the franchise, but luckily it's good enough to make it worth the purchase. Golden Abyss is still a great game - the adventures of Nathan Drake will never bore you. Ever!

    Little Deviants has become the Wii Play of the PlayStation Vita; quite boring, not challenging and just not that fun to play. The multiplayer however can be great at times. But that's all there's to it.

    Come on Sony, where is the online multiplayer? Shame on you. The game is fun, has a great track creator, plays nice but there's no online multiplayer which is a bummer.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a good role-playing game with an open world that offers you a lot of freedom. Despite some flaws, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a game every RPG-fan will enjoy.

    Catherine tells a lovely story about a man and his troubled life. You will never get bored with the eight different endings the game has to offer. But because of the long cutscenes, this game isn't made for everyone.

    Claustrophobic scenarios, frequently nailbiting and near-dead experiences; This is Resident Evil at its best. Revelations is horrifying and controls very well thanks to the Circle Pad Pro. Without a doubt a must buy title for the 3DS.

    Grand Slam Tennis 2 is a pretty decent tennis game. The controls aren't that well-executed, but despite of that the game offers good old simple fun.

    Mistwalker once again delivers an interesting and deep role-playing game that also manages to innovate the RPG-genre in some aspects. A convincing story, combined with a unique combat system and a great audiovisual presentation, makes The Last Story a must-have game for anyone who has a special place in their heart for special RPG's.

    Fate of the World: Tipping Point offers a great learning experience but doesn't keep the player interested in it's gameplay for long. The look is good and you have a ton of possibilities, it's just a shame that the learning curve is so steep.

    The Darkness II lets players embark on another emotional adventure. The looks of the game are absolutely amazing and wielding the Darkness has never felt better. Fans of the original game will love this sequel.

    This second installment in the King Arthur franchise can be great fun, but doesn't offer enough depth. The AI is just stupid at times, making the experience less enjoyable. Still, the vibe is pretty good and it really feels like you're part of King Arthur's magical world.

    Mighty Switch Force is a fun, well designed puzzle platformer, keeping you interested until the end. You'll reach that end far too soon however and there is but little motivation to return to completed levels.

    Whatever you do, don't go out and buy Darkstar: The Interactive Movie. It's one of the worst games we ever played.

    This game looks better than before and contains some good improvements. It plays faster and feels more dramatic. There is a lack of enough offline content but online it's better than ever.

    Choplifter HD would be an excellent game in the arcades, mostly because each level only takes a few minutes to complete. Unfortunately, this short length leads to the fact that it's unpleasant to play in the living room. The requirement of multitasking in the heat of battle in the later levels, makes up for this a little bit. We would rather plug in our old NES again.

    The most important positive point about Final Fantasy XIII-2 is that the gameplay has been strongly improved. New features like Paradigm Shift and Mog Clock are a really good addition to the game. Final Fantasy XIII-2 has a nice story but unfortunately not as epic as we expected.

    Pullblox is a must have for the 3DS. The simplistic concept results in a large amount of phenomenal puzzles, easily keeping you busy for a while. After that you can go nuts in the great level-editor. It's a shame that your created levels can't be shared online, though!

    Quarrel is the prefect combination of Risk and Scrabble. You can pick it up whenever you want and still be able to kick some lexical buttocks. The only problem us Dutch gamers have, is that the game is only playable in English. A problem we're willing to overlook for mere 400 Microsoft Points.

    The concept behind Xotic is fun, but it isn't executed in a good way. The graphics, audio and overall production values just disappoint and never really seem to impress.
