    The new installment of the LEGO Star Wars franchise has turned out to be a good game. Every aspect has been improved but you'll often find yourself lost, not knowing what to do because of the unclear mission objectives.

    It's good to see that Electronic Arts isn't just producing one Sims add-on after the other. The Sims Medieval provides a solid medieval experience but fails in depth. It's a shame that you can't build your own castles.

    Brotherhood brings us one step closer to the third instalment of Assassin's Creed. The singleplayer is great but Ubisoft surprises just about everyone with some kickass multiplayer modes.

    Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes has become a pretty decent game. There is so much to do that this might as well be a full retail game.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters doesn't do anything wrong but doesn't have enough daring innovative features to make much of a difference. It's by far the best golfing sim out there, but it doesn't manage to warm our hearts.

    The original Stoked wasn't a bad game at all but Namco disappoints us because of the lack of improvements in Stoked: Big Air Edition.

    Swarm is a game with a nice concept, which unfortunately isn't properly elaborated in the gameplay. Before you spend thirteen bucks, check if you have enough patience to play the same level over and over again.

    Vampire Smile doesn't add much to the concept of the previous game. For 800 Microsoft Points you'll get a fun sidescroller that will keep you entertained for a couple of hours, until you'll get bored with the repetitiousness of it all.

    For a real bargain price you'll get three great games which will give you hours of fun. The games are still great even though there aren't any real changes in the gameplay. If you missed one or more of these games, or you just want to play the games again then this trilogy is a real must buy!

    Crytek has delivered an extraordinary shooter. The Nanosuit with all its functions is a real joy and it keeps gameplay exciting in both the long singleplayer and the fantastic multiplayer.

    Super Monkey Ball is a good game but doesn't benefit from the 3D functionality the 3DS has to offer. The game is pretty short and you should therefore wait until the price drops before you buy it.

    Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime combines average level design, bad AI and repetitive gameplay. You will probably be happy when you see the credits.

    Shift 2: Unleashed is a really good game, but it is not a Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo beater. However, it's still very fun to play.

    Yakuza 4 can be a great game but you'll have to look really hard to discover all of the great aspects it has to offer. This game isn't for you if you don't want to look into the deeper meaning of things.

    This game should have never been ported to the 3DS. The game is much better on the PC and Electronic Arts should have put more time in the 3DS version. Too bad!

    Ridge Racer 3D is nice to play, and contains a lot of content. Unfortunately the game isn't really perfect. But the 3D looks good!

    Homefront doesn't live up to the hype and suffers from a short campaign that will only entertain you for four hours. The graphics aren't great and the many glitches don't help either. Homefront's best points are its multiplayer and its brilliant vibe.

    The UnderGarden is a simple game that doesn't make you think to much. You'll be fully relaxed thanks to all the bright lights and smooth sounds coming from your television.

    Prince of Persia Trilogy is a delight to play and brings back good old memories. For those who have never played this great trilogy, this is the best opportunity to do so.

    This game is nice for children but there's too little to explore for them on one day. So it's a title you should buy for them (or yourself?) as an extra.

    The three new maps are nicely balanced and will attract those that are addicted to the Halo: Reach multiplayer. If 343 Industries can keep this up then the Halo franchise is sure to have a great future.

    No matter if you're new to the franchise or have played Super Street Fighter many times before, this game is definitely worth its money. It looks amazing in 3D!

    Pilotwings Resort really takes its benefits from the 3D capacities. Because of seeing more depth, you are actually better be able to fly and land. Unfortunately it won't take long to finish the game, but it's really good.
