    Rayman Origin proves that multiplatform games don't have to be a load of bull on the Wii. The game may even be better on Wii, because the offline co-op mode better fits the console. The Wii Remote may come with its own problems but they are easily resolved by adding a Nunchuck or Classis Controller. Good job, Ubisoft!

    Fusion: Genesis doesn't invite players to play. If you're willing to come over by yourself and invest a little time and effort in this game, it has a lot to offer. A tutorial may be the answer to a broader audience. Now only the few who persist will get a great game with an even greater universe.

    Sony delivers a very bad Move-game and that loses the fight with Wii Fit and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012. Move Fitness doesn't feel like a real fitness game and never really stimulates you to keep on going.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic is not an innovative game, pushing forward the concept that World of Warcraft has started all those years ago. However The Old Republic has a ton of content, big open worlds and some fantastic storylines, making it a must have game for all Star Wars fans.

    We sure hope Epic Games will continue to develop more singleplayer DLC for Gears of War 3, because RAAM's Shadow was an absolute blast. It is everything that the Gears of War singleplayer fan could hope for. It's unfortunate you will see the credits in less than four hours, but the high replayability makes up for that.

    Although Just Dance 3 isn't very original, it can sure be the life of a party. The choreography is excellent and the songs will keep you swinging for hours to come. Just Dance 3 can be a lot of fun with some friends but can quickly become a bore when you're playing on your own.

    Legacy is a great addition to the series and the 3DS-library, as it brings the intense dogfights to the handheld. It also uses the 3D-effect to its full advantage and offers variation in the missions. It's a shame it's quite short, though.

    It's logical not to buy The Black Eyed Peas Experience if you hate them. But if you like the band, give it a try. It's fun, it has great gameplay and the addition of a microphone is very nice.

    Angler's Club: Ultimate Bass Fishing 3D's problem is that it should have never been made. This game is very repetetive, brings no action and that's why it's boring as hell. A personal tip for every developer: don't make any more fishing-games. They suck.

    Super Pokémon Rumble might offer a lot of collectable pokémon and some decent looks, but it all boils down to monotonous buttonbashing through repetitive environments with a lot of useless attacks. Stay away!

    Frozenbyte once again brings us a magical cooperative adventure. Trine 2 is a combination of puzzling and action. Thanks to the beautiful graphics en the multiplayer mode, this game is a must-have if you love puzzeling or a cooperative adventure!

    You must be a really big Tekken fan if you want to buy Tekken Hybrid. This collection does so many things wrong in so many ways that it's a disgrace to the Tekken franchise. Your best bet is to wait for the release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

    This game has its own style and it has got a lot of options. But the truth is that there are better fighting games for sale for the 3DS.

    Race Injection offers a ton of circuits and even more cars, making sure that the replay value is very good. It is a shame though that the graphics are outdated and the technical aspects aren't great.

    Tales of the Abyss is not a great remake because of the poor 3D effect, but it's still a pretty decent RPG. The deep story, interesting characters and great combat system make it worthwhile, though the annoying character Luke and necessary grinding might wear you down.

    Rochard is a short but good game. If you like to crack your brain a few times and also shoot bad guys, Rochard is a good option!

    Kirby's Adventure surpasses the previously released Kirby's Epic Yarn and is particularly enjoyable because of the varying levels and the offline multiplayer. It's a pity the game isn't challenging at all. An online multiplayer would have been a great addition as well.

    L.A. Noire shows us that not every sandbox game has to be about killing prostitutes. This Complete Edition for the PC shows up a bit late to the party but that doesn't make it any less fun. The interrogations are a lot of fun and you'll feel like a true Sherlock Holmes at times. It's just a shame that the replay value is very low.

    Sideway: New York is a very colorful game that brings 2D to a new highs. The variety enemies make sure that the game will never get dull. Its low price makes it a game that's well worth its money.

    Your Shape: Fitness Evolved is a great new Kinect title. The gameplay makes for a really good fitness game. It is ideal for everyone that doesn't want to go to the sportschool but just wants to fitness at home.

    Shinobi might not have a huge hype around it, but that doesn't make it a bad game. It's a very challenging game that will be loved by everyone that is into platform games.

    BurgerTime World Tour is a pretty poor remake of the original. A lot has changed, making this remake way too complicated. BurgerTime World Tour is a great example of why a lot of old games don't need a remake.

    SkyDrift takes the fighting to the sky in a way you've never experienced before. Be prepared for fast action and lots of explosions. All of the different surroundings and planes make sure that you'll never get bored.

    BioWare has listened to the feedback of its fans and brought us the Mark of the Assassin downloadable content. Fortunately this piece of extra content offers enough variety to keep it fresh. You will also find a great new member for your team, Tallis, who is voiced by femme fatale Felicia Day. Tallis is a great and welcome addition and it's a shame you can't keep her after you've finished this DLC.

    Kinect Disneyland Adventures gives you the feeling that you're actually there, asking Mickey Mouse for autographs. Most minigames are a lot of fun and are perfect for children. However, more mini-games and more varied quests could have made this game a lot better.

    Sonic, you are twenty years old now, happy birthday to you. We love your new and modern style with the added speed boosts, but the good old days were also wonderful. We know it for sure, every generation loves you Sonic.

    There's so much to do in this game, it's easy to forget the world around you. Unfortunately, LEGO: Harry Potter: Years 5-7 lacks in originality compared to earlier LEGO titles, but the real LEGO fan shouldn't be bothered by this. Without a doubt, this is one of the best games in the LEGO series to date. Yes that's right, we were under its spell.

    Kinect Sports: Season Two doesn't do anything particularly better than the first game, but includes six new sports. There is a good variety in gameplay, going from the more active sports like american football to more passive sports such as darts. It's just a pity that the graphics are so outdated.
