    Fable III has nice graphics, great controls, enough online possibilities and a lot of missions. Everything connects nicely, which will keep you playing for hours. This game can be recommended to everyone.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a very good racing game that brings back the extreme arcade racing from the older games in the series. It's the Need for Speed we all used to know, covered in a brand new coating.

    Sonic Free Riders could have been a good game were it not for the complicated controls and the weak campaign mode. It's best for Sonic to throw away the hoverboard and keep using those fast legs of him.

    GoldenEye 007 turned out to be a good Wii game. The game doesn't need many words, except for: just buy it and start shooting bad guys!

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II unfortunately did not become what many people hoped. The graphics are beautiful, but in almost all other areas the game fails to impress.

    With a little more time and attention, Top Gun could have been a decent flight simulator. If you're into flying games, buy one that takes itself more serious.

    NBA Jam meets most of its expectations.The game is very entertaining however it must be said that this should have been a downloadable game. The game just doesn't feel like a full retail game but remains amusing nonetheless.

    The Shoot is another typical game that demonstrates a ton of possible Move functionalities. The game isn't very unique and so we are still waiting for a very hardcore Move game.

    This unique fighting game feels rushed in every single way. Fighters Uncaged responds very badly to your moves and that's simply something you can't afford when your life is at stake.

    Black Ops is another addition to the Call of Duty franchise but shows the same flaws as its predecessor. The multiplayer has improved, but a franchise of this stature should know how to get rid of the mistakes from the past.

    This is without a doubt the best Kinect launchgame. Dance Central makes sure there won't be a single boring moment when you are having friends over. Make sure to buy this game when you're getting Kinect.

    Raging Blast 2 is one big déjà vu that adds virtually nothing to the first game. Not even the biggest Dragon Ball enthusiast will be impressed with this, even though this is still a decent fighting game.

    Lionhead Studios usually develops great extra content but this time the company has taken the easy way out. The Understone Quest Pack doesn't add a lot to Fable III but it will keep the fans entertained for a few hours.

    Dead Nation is one of the few PlayStation Network games, that manages to look and feel like a full grown retail game. The mood and the gameplay just feel right and the small lack of variation never gets frustrating.

    Flying body parts and buckets of blood form the basics of Splatterhouse. The soundtrack and the voice overs have been done very well but the graphics just aren't up to today's standards.

    The hardcore gamer won't care much for Just Dance 2, but then again this game has been made for casual gamers and they surely will enjoy the swinging gameplay that Just Dance 2 has to offer.

    Developer Reality Pump has delivered another great RPG that forms a great successor to the original Two Worlds. Certain aspects could have used a little bit of tuning, but that won't bother the average gamer.

    Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is surely not a perfect game but deserves your attention. If you take good care of your ingame friends, then you will experience a great adventure that will take you about 25 hours to complete.

    Harms Way is a free game for the Xbox Live Marketplace that is worth a quick download. However, due to the lack of variation you will drop this game within the first couple of hours. Not even the mildly amusing multiplayer won't be able to change that.

    Doritos has provided Xbox Live users with a free and very entertaining racing game that will keep you coming back for more, due to the tons of challenges.

    Time Crisis: Razing Storm combines a bad story with even worse controls. This game is not worth your money, despite the fact that the two extra games are even more fun than Razing Storm itself.

    Kinect Joy Ride is a good racing game that will entertain your friends and family. The steering doesn't always work but that shouldn't stop casual gamers from buying this game.
