    From Dust shows that a cheap, downloadable game can compete with the biggies. You'll find yourself lost in this games for hours, just to create a perfect world. It requires some thinking, but most of all it requires enjoyment. Just sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy the beauty that is From Dust.

    Despite some annoyances, Boulder Dash-XL certainly gives you value for your money. With 150 different and completely new caves, you can get many hours of enjoyment for a low price. Boulder Dash-XL takes you back to the class of its predecessors! However, some of the new game modes can be boring and seem unnecessary.

    Insect Armageddon is a fun little game that has a lot of gameplay variation. However all that variation won't stop you from getting bored with the game after a short while. If you don't want to get bored, try the co-op mode with a friend and you'll have a ton of fun.

    Cars 2 shows us that a game based on a movie isn't always bad. Both young and old will be entertained with all of the different modes and cars. But we just can't wrap our head around the fact that there isn't an online multiplayer available.

    Developer Games Farm didn't deliver us a simulation like promised, but turned Secret Wars into a decent arcade shooter. The multiplayer can be very fun but the singleplayer drags down the score because of the bad voice acting and the simplified AI.

    This game is really a nice platformer that you can get for a low price. The puzzles are difficult and therefore challenging but there's plenty of humor to relieve the tension. However you have to like all of the chaos and speed to fully enjoy this game.

    This game is definitely made for the 3DS, it has good graphics and 3D is simply awesome. Unfortunately the game lacks innovation. The concept of the game sounded better than the final product has become.

    For new players, Super Street Fighter IV - Arcade Edition is a great game to enter the world of Street Fighter. The casual gamer won't find much fun in this new arcade edition but the fighting fans will have the time of their life!

    Galaga Legions DX is an easy and short game. It doesn't do anything better than its predecessor and doesn't bring something new to the table. It's fun for a while, but after an hour you realize this is a dumb and hollow 2D-shooter.

    This five hour lasting adventure is fun to go through and never becomes boring. But Super Soldier has its share of flaws. The scripted levels and the disappointing graphics prevent you from having too much fun with this game.

    Annihilation offers exactly the same as the last two map packs: great maps, but little innovation. Those who are just looking for some new terrain, will be pleased though. Those who look for a new experience, won't.

    Ape Escape Move is actually a mini-game because even for an on-rails shooter this game is short. The gameplay is way too easy, creating a very boring experience. After a few hours you'll toss this out of the window and play one of the better Move games available.

    Armageddon Riders is fun to play and there are enough missions to entertain you but they lack variaton. An online multiplayer and more variaton in the missions would have improved this game, but for €9.99 it's still a nice deal.

    White Knight Chronicles II improves on its predecessor, but only manages to create a forgettable experience. An overly clichéd plot and aged visuals aren't able to cover up the lacking gameplay mechanics. You do get a lot of content for your money however, and the online mode makes up for the mediocre singleplayer experience.

    F.E.A.R. 3 is a good shooter but never surpasses the very first F.E.A.R. game. The gameplay is very smooth and you'll be playing this campaign multiple times because of the co-op and the different gameplay elements each brother possesses. F.E.A.R. 3 lacks scary moments and that is a pity, seeing how this used to be a key element in the series.

    Wii Play: Motion includes a few boring and bad minigames and doesn't have a Party mode. Most of the games, however, can be pretty fun and work great with the included controller. It's a great extra for anyone that is looking for a Wii Motion Plus controller.

    This has to be without a doubt the best cycling game available at this time. The graphics are great and the AI gives you a real challenge. It's just a shame that Pro Cycling Manager 2011 doesn't have any of the real licenses and so creates its own brands and names.

    The fantastic music blends in perfectly with the beautiful graphics, making Child of Eden a very hypnotic experience at times. Kinect registers everything smoothly and people that have Kinect in their homes should be forced to buy this game! Child of Eden's campaign only lasts for an hour and a half but you'll play every level over and over again.

    This latest Resident Evil game only gives you five missions to play over and over. The controls are far from perfect and so this game isn't worth full price. The 3D-images do look great however, and the co-op mode will entertain you for hours to come.

    The new Partisan system and Theatre Interface are just a few good improvements this expansion has to offer. However, only few of the older problems get fixed and the extra options will only make it harder for a newcomer to get into Hearts of Iron III. Gamers that are familiar with the franchise will however be happy that the most realistic WWII game ever, just got a little bit better.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon is not a game we could recommend. The gameplay is boring and way too short. You're better off picking up Transformers: War for Cybertron again for a much more pleasant experience.
