    Codemasters has yet again created a great rally game. DiRT 3 tries to take the franchise to a new level and partially succeeds thanks to the new Gymkhana mode.

    You will steer shift quickly through this downloadable content. After a few hours you have seen everything of Speedhunters. It is possible to play online after that or you can use the new cars on the older circuits if you want. You can also go online for a few rapid drag-races, which is a lot of fun.

    Alter Ego has a good basic gameplay but everything else is riddled with flaws. The puzzles are too simple, the ending is disappointing and the animations just aren't impressive.

    At first Frozen Synapse looks like a very basic turn-based strategy game, but when you look closer you'll find that it has a ton of strategic options and possibilities. Running simulations and thinking things through can keep you busy for endless amounts of time.

    The latest LEGO game just might be the best one in the series. One of the only things that we're missing in this comical game is an online co-op. Apart from that, there are a lot of puzzles that will keep you entertained for days to come.

    Battle vs. Chess is probably the most extensive chess game out there. There are a ton of modes and the animations of the fighting chess pieces are very nice. It's just a shame that the camera is positioned poorly and there really aren't that many people playing online.

    MX vs. ATV Alive is a decent racing game that has excellent controls and a ton of customizable options. It's too bad that there just aren't that many circuits and the lack of a tutorial might put off people that are new to the franchise.

    The hype around Brink was huge and the game doesn't live up to all of the expectations. The campaign is extremely short and so it's the online gameplay that saves this game from demise. With the right teammates you'll have a ton of fun online.

    Aside from being a way to easy game with some lag during the online modes, Dead or Alive: Dimensions offers a solid experience. The graphics are very good, even in 3D, and the Chronicle Mode is a fun addition.

    Hydrophobia Prophecy is a challenging and original game that takes the use of water to a whole new level. Unfortunately there are some annoying downsides, like the over usage of cut scenes and the often terrible voice overs.

    Virtua Tennis doesn't take itself so seriously and that's great because gaming should be all about fun. The Kinect and Move support is pretty lame so it's best to stick with the classic controllers.

    Everyone that is still playing Black Ops should consider buying this new map pack. The four new multiplayer maps are a lot of fun and the new zombie map is a refreshing bonus.

    Darkspore has become a solid action adventure game and that's mostly due to the co-op mode. Maxis shows that it's capable of making games outside of the simulation genre but for a Spore spin-off this game lacks of innovation.

    SOCOM: Special Forces has left us with mixed feelings. The singleplayer doesn't live up to today's standards but the varied multiplayer and co-op modes save this game from its doom.

    This latest instalment in the SEGA Rally franchise doesn't offer much variety. However, the gameplay and the controls are just so smooth that the five available maps will keep you entertained for hours to come.

    Team Bondi and Rockstar have made something completely unique and appealing. Los Angeles is full of bad guys and finding them may not always be that difficult. It is however always fun to do so. Making L.A. Noire a truly inspirational game that will last for hours.

    Gatling Gears is all about shooting. It's very simple, but really straightforward. Gatling Gears is a fast action game and has good looks, however, it's disappointing to see that it doesn't add a single thing to the genre.

    We hate to say it but there is just no upside to this game. From the storyline down to the bad gameplay, everything is simply terrible. God of Thunder is a challenging game though, however, this is because of all the glitches that will make your life impossible.
