    Spider-Man: Edge of Time is an interesting game... initially. After having played a few missions, you'll get bored with the environments. Spider-Man doesn't have any freedom in Edge of Time, making the entire experience feel just, well, wrong.

    If you look at Crysis on the consoles as a standalone downloadable game, you will love the excellent gameplay and the great graphics. But if you compare this game to the original Crysis on PC, you'll be dissapointed. There's absolutely no improvement made over the last four years and the game is stripped down from all its extras.

    Dungeon Defenders shows us a new side of the tower defense genre. This game is build around its great co-op multiplayer mode and thus, the singleplayer isn't as strong and can even be considered boring. Nevertheless Dungeon Defenders is a fantastic game that takes the tower defense to new heights.

    Despite some annoying bugs, especially in the campaign, Battlefield 3 offers some amazing gameplay. A breathtaking singleplayer campaign alongside an epic multiplayer experience makes Battlefield 3 a must-buy.

    Smash Cars has seen better days. After the very short singleplayer there really isn't much to do. The gameplay still works like it should, but what happened to the multiplayer? It is a mystery why you can't play versus other people online.

    Off the Record is the best game in the series because of the return of Frank West and the addition of the Sandbox Mode. However, you're basically playing Dead Rising 2 all over again, with the same story, technical imperfections and tiresome gameplay.

    Astro Tripper is a decent little tribute to oldschool games but simply doesn't have enough options and modes to keep you entertained for much longer then a few hours. Hardcore gamers will enjoy this game, but only in the offline mode since there is no multiplayer present.

    Worms Ultimate Mayhem isn't the best Worms game to date but brings that great sense of humor and over the top weapons that we've grown so fond of. There are some issues with the camera and the game progress can be slow at times. Ultimate Mayhem has a lot to offer but the real Worms fans will stick to the 2D games.

    Forza 4 truly is the best racing game for the Xbox 360 and improves on almost every aspect. We would have liked to see more damage being done to the cars but the ton of online modes and the improved career mode will make you forget about the few errors.

    This one is a must buy for kids, it's the ultimate RPG for our younger gamers. Furthermore the game has a whole new element: the portal of power. For the first time one can put little characters on the portal and play with them inmediately in the game.

    The game needs some patches, but overall the game is fantastic, amazing even. Managing your own football team has never worked this good before, making Football Manager 2012 a must have for every football freak out there.

    You're constantly doing the same thing in Space Channel 5: Part 2. You can only play it for a little while before the boredom kicks in. The game is weird and absurd, making it surprisingly charming.

    Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One has one big problem: the expectations are way too high. For most gamers, All 4 One will be quite disappointing. It's just a co-op game, nothing more than that. However, the typical Ratchet & Clank jokes are present. Thank god.

    Uncharted 3 brings a unique adventure that you'll never forget. We love the Hollywood cinematics, we love the gameplay, we love the graphics. The game can be linear but the fantastic storyline and the spectacular cut scenes will keep you going until the credits appear.

    Nearly every issue from last year has been fixed, but it's a shame that some online issues still appear. But even with all the other minor issues found throughout the game, NBA 2K12 is a very solid presentation.

    Orcs Must Die! offers tons of fun but has no multiplayer mode which is a real pity. Let's hope Robot Entertainment develops a sequel with a multiplayer mode. Orcs Must Die! is without a doubt one of the best tower defense games of late.

    Batman is coloer than ever in this all new adventure. You'll fly from one magnificent moment to the other, with absolutely no time for boredom. Batman: Arkham City offers you the ultimate package, the best of the best and has everything you can ever ask for from a superhero game.

    The 2D Worms games have always been the best ones in the franchise and Worms Ultimate Mayhem only further proves that statement. The gameplay is slow and even firing a weapon sounds easier then it really is. As every Worms game, this one is funny and will give you some crazy weapons to work with. If you have an Xbox 360 and you want to play Worms, just go for Worms 2: Armageddon.

    X-Men Destiny is a very boring game. The gameplay is nothing special, the graphics are just not good and we haven't even begun talking about all of the glitches. It's great however that you can make a lot of choices while playing the storyline, but it's too little too late.

    A franchise as big as A Song of Ice and Fire deserves a big and popular game. Instead, Genesis is a not so interesting strategy game with a very slow gameplay. The fights aren't impressive and you can't even save during a mission. The multiplayer is one of the only good parts, making Genesis only interesting for people who want to know more about the backstory of 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.

    Burnout Crash is fun as a mini-game, but not as a full arcade game. Its repetitive nature and unimpressive visuals will bore you and turn Crash into a barely interesting one trick pony.

    RAGE is an ambitious game that brings you a destroyed open world you want to keep coming back to. It's a shame this game suffers from occasional unloaded textures and a longer single player adventure would have been nice. The sheer amount of fun you will find in RAGE however, make this game a must buy for fans of the better shooter and role-playing games.
