A strategy game perfectly suited for the experienced gamers who are not afraid of complex gaming mechanics along with their complicated combination, and for those who are also willing to work out its confusing interface, and to wait for several annoying bugs to be removed.

For excited fans of the year 2033 it is a must, for Slavic games lovers it is a reason to be interested in it. However, not even its superb graphics quality is enough to get over the game's shallow moments along with its thoughtless script that has been cooked with plain water mainly. Although radioactive, plain water still.

Another game in the style of Tower Defence, this time from its own perspective. You must prevent your enemies from passing through by building towers and by fierce shooting, just like in any other FPS. Sanctum may entertain you for a while, and the while lasts quite long, but many types of towers and enemies are insufficient defence against intrusive stereotype. The game is lifeless and dry like Tutankhamun's mummy.

A trivial hack and slash action with very little RPG thrown in the mix, which could be fun but only for a short period of time. From the story through graphics over to gameplay and game mechanics – Hunted is just above the edge of average, which is mostly due to a solid co-op mode.

Based on the classic book, just like the previous part, Madness Returns tries to follow up its predecessor's success and thinks that more brutality, sickness and weirdo-like patterns are enough to achieve it. Apart from an unrepeatable graphic style and some good passages it barely keeps our attention. Maybe next time.

Awfully outdated, unfinished, bringing nothing new, but still quite amusing. Despite all of its flaws, Duke Nukem Forever is a legend and nostalgia trip for many fans who gladly forget all of its failings.

Slightly above-average game with dull campaign and relatively distinctive multiplayer, which is ruined by unpleasant mistakes.

If we look at it from the perspective of a five-year=old boy, fascinated by the fact that he could control his movie heroes, it could be one of the best racing games of the year. But even from general perspective, Cars 2 is a very simple but enjoyable game and one of the better ones in the childrens games category.

An above-average game from a time period that's really hard to find in current games. It is defected by several unfortunate design decisions and by sticking too much to its literary original. However, Henryk Sienkiewicz's fans and those 17th century warfare lovers should not hesitate to try it.

In many ways, this is one fast, entertaining action game. And yet it doesn't take too much time from you to properly entertain you. But it won't take too much time to bore or annoy you either. There are not so many solid arcade action games out there, so the majority of the faults can be forgiven as far as this style of gameplay suits you.

There is no succeed in a return of scripted scenarios of Men of War game. Not even a new attractive background is helping it. The game is dumped by a small number of scenarios and their unbalanced difficulty. You may still enjoy a few of its hot moments, but it's not enough to draw your attention from the essentially better game – Men of War: Assault Squad.

The Baconing is yet another strange tale of anti-hero DeathSpank you know so well from first two games. He hasn't changed a bit which means, that you can once again set out for short adventure full of sarcasm, anti-cliché jokes and slightly better than average gameplay. The Baconing will entertain you quite well for short period of time, but soon enough, jokes stops to be funny and gameplay turns in to an ordinary grind.

An open-based action RPG where cyberpunk, Dune, Equilibrium and online grindcore meet each other, and they miss almost everything you would call 'user friendly' – to get the local rules and learn them properly often takes hours of frustrating gameplay. However, if you put your time in it and embrace yourselves with patience, you'll get rewarded with unmatched experience of the old school gaming.

For some of you this is going to be a catlike degradation of the arcade series, for the others it's going to be their first moment to grab their plane and let their dream come true. There are helicopter missions and they are just fine. However, the story campaign full of turnovers and flashy broiling turns Ace Combat closer to passive gaping. Those simulator guys of you should wait for the upcoming hit by Jane's, for those of you bird of prey lovers – you should be enjoying this Namco's arcade video game under your Christmas tree.

An unconventional trip to feudal Japan brings a lot of interesting principles that support political frolics to a great extent. However, this game is struck down by plenty of unfinished things, simplifications and limitations at the end of the day. It might still win your heart and let you enjoy it for long hours, but you have to be prepared to narrow your very own eyes.

A system-enhanced sequel of by many the controversial thirteenth installment is like a sad song. Its form wins clearly over its content that has been "improved" to the utter dullness. Buy only in the case you don't care about a story nor about a fine-tuned combat system that would offer you an appropriate challenge.

With its very original story in its very original visuals this platform game has been toying with the genre of 2D fighting games. It won't knock you out, but if you fancy this genre or the unusual hero(ine)s you'll be entertained for a while.

A sloppy singleplayer that is pretending to be something it is not is being rescued by its entertaining cooperative multiplayer. Unfortunately, the co-op still needs much more content to be acknowledged as the fully fledged game.

A puzzle game that set everything in its positive first impression. The thing is you'll soon find out that its stylized beauty is dull scenery in fact. Its potentially interesting game mechanics do also tire out just as quickly as your reserve fund before Christmas madness.

Ruins of a post-apocalyptic city have great potential but not there yet. The game is bringing up many interesting ideas but those are halfway through it. It's obvious that earlier plans have been much more ambitious, however, their outcome is ruining experience, not to speak of game's difficulty creating an imbalance in it.

An arcade style racing game that's been hardcore and entertaining runs the risk of losing its reputation by a rather absurd distribution model. If it really lacks something? In fact, it lacks new tracks and a career mode.

Ridge Racer Unbounded, a title you've already known very well before actually playing it. It's the close imitation of many modern arcade racing games. It's not complete boredom, however, this game was made with certainty and with some stupid flaws.

Surprisingly enough, Kinect Star Wars is not screwed as much as I thought it'd be. If I had an offspring, who had a liking for Star Wars, I wouldn't hesitate and bought the game. The reason would be this game works perfectly for kids. However, an adult must say to themselves what they are expecting out of this game. This piece of work is not a flawless one. However, it does belong to the above-average Kinect titles, and unlike the other ones, with this one the Star Wars brand does not suffer shame.

Although snipers could regain a good name thanks to this title, artificial intelligence and level design of some missions along with other flaws knock this game to the ground. If the levels were sufficiently large and open-ended, if artificial intelligence of enemy soldiers was more than just a range from killing machines to incompetent bots, it could be a smash. Unfortunately, in this case it's only a slightly above-average title.

There's a saying: you cannot step in the same river twice. Or at least you shouldn't. However, developers from Radical did not follow this piece of advice and for a second time they managed to step in the same river's dirty spot. Prototype 2 will interest only the loyal fans of the first installment; the rest of gamers will see this title as a stereotypical and boring pose.

Fable Heroes is more of a small multiplayer game than a traditional video game. Again, it's mainly fit for multiplayer, so if it's not your call, don't answer it.

A pleasant surprise for all those fans of the genre, who play the Civilization game mainly for its battle component - those players will get their satisfaction here. However, the rest of them will strongly feel the absence of the other gaming elements. On top of that they will most likely dislike the game's cheating AI, no hotkeys availability along with the game's very few options as to how to win the game.

If you feel like taking an editor and playing with tanks and soldiers afterwards, then Iron Front: Liberation 1944 is going to make you happy. Otherwise it's just the ArmA 2 game thrown into the Second World War setting. However, the game's well-made and detailed models of guns and machinery are used in a single-player campaign that's been clumsily put together. No one even bothers to play its multiplayer that's been running out of juice.

At first glance you see a nice strategy game that's been, however, dragged down by several design decisions that would possibly bring an international train into collapse, and I don't even talk about your wits and patience. Game's replayability goes hand in hand with immense frustration of uneven gameplay.

A truly crazy zombie slasher that's putting the absurd style of the main heroine and the game's fetishistic stylization of a lollipop flavour up to the front. If you have a look at the actual gameplay, you get a sinusoid of a stereotype and enjoyment, up and down, up and down. If this kind of style and humour suits you, try it. However, do not expect Dead Rising out of it, this is really different.

This game doesn't prove to be the next Fable adventure, however, for those Kinect lovers it's still an enjoyable, although forgettable, experience.

Just an average kind of a racing game. Criterion has meddled the things that work to no avail. Has it been an order from EA or have they been trying to take the series apart to prepare a market for a true Burnout comeback? A conspiracy theory? Maybe, but nothing changes the fact that the Most Wanted game is dull as dishwater.

This adventure game is unorthodox. It has a controversial theme along with its inconsistent gameplay. The creators have failed to fulfill the original concept, nevertheless all of you the old B-horror movies lovers are going to have fun. Besides, if you love playing the "wrong" side having sadistic tendencies, there's no time to hesitate.

A solid action RPG with tons of great mechanics. However, the mechanics have been over-combined, the game is very difficult and the controls should have been tuned up.

An inconsistent spin-off of the popular series for a powerful handheld is like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. There are moments when Aveline shows off her face, but there are also moments of her kicking your face with some technical issues. At the end of the day the game is above average - sometimes it's great, sometimes it's frustrating. It could have hit the spot, if more care had been put into it.

A pseudo-medieval multiplayer action game that's definitely above-average. However, it's pretty middle-of-the-road, it's something between an instant mild entertainment and a challenge for hardcore gamers. The game clearly has the potential to be something more, but the creators' unskillful design decisions made Chivalry more for the first group of gamers.

A plain, but likable rescue of a princess that is not just counting on your nostalgia for an almost thirty years old original. Even though Mechner's sense of a clever design may be seen just here and there, the game is worth your little time (and money).

This is an interesting, but inconsistent mix of twelve mini-games that are meant to teach you how Wii U works. Nintendo Land is up to that task, however, the game is not entertaining enough.

What sounds as a simple idea, ends up being a complex game that simulates agricultural life from many perspectives and in the best way possible. Just do not look for perfection nor a revolution in it.

This is an above-average game for kids failing to prove it is able to use the technology potential behind it. Anyway, if you have children around the block fitting the age range, you cannot go wrong with Book of Spells.

More suitable for women than for men. Rather for social networks fans than for those serious about sweat and sore muscles. If you are able to see through all the "buts" and "whys", you won't be disappointed, but delighted neither.

An audiovisually and musically impressive shoot 'em up with a space rocket that alters into the ultimate space transformer. However, the rest that would make the game better than your above average title is badly missing.

Not a particularly tedious action game with hack 'n' slash principles will seize you with its randomly-generated locations, wit, challenge and unusual low price. Afterwards, however, the game will disappoint you with its mechanics and ton of bugs.

A fair shooter that's been lifted among the above-average titles by its impressive background and several action scenes. This is an outstanding tour for the Aliens (even Alien) fans; for the other gamers it's slightly problematic, still quite a tasty canapé.

Poetics and esthetics of the French New Wave melted into the melancholic virtual reality, in which you may, or may not experience exceptional encounters.

Driftmoon is a fine choice, if you are craving for a joyful and trivial RPG that is not going to suck hundreds of hours of your life, nor it needs modern hardware to be playable. Just don't be too stern, because then you are going to pay attention to many flaws coming from its garage development.

A promising update of the classical Paradox formula, trying to bring the Napoleonic wars back. It manages to bring it on, however, the result is not consistently good. Even though it is all about its multiplayer game here, it's not the thing worthy of remembering.

A decent management strategy game that is charming because of the managerial strategic principle, its unusual environment and humour. However, it suffers because digging to another floors is badly transparent, the game is not variable enough and it does not offer as much as the similar titles.

Simple arcade game with relatively addicting gameplay which suffers from a severe lack of content. In this case it's quite a fundamental problem.

It is a great pity that Grasshopper did not manage to match so masterly created environment and a story packed with black humour with a game of appropriate quality. Each of the great ideas is almost perfectly drowned in a flood of incomprehensible errors.

Not even a demolition hullaballoo helps, when a concept and a central idea are missing. Red Faction Armageddon drilled into the depths of Mars more than it is healthy for a good shooter. Volition has created a shooter for one night that you will not remember the next morning when you wake up.

If Antonio Salieri was the boss of these developers, it would explain a lot of things. The First Templar is a prime example of a mediocre game that won't hurt nor warm your gamer's heart.

Although it's a pirate-game with a glimpse of freedom, it's choking on its bad story. You will be entertained for couple of hours by upgrading of your own ship, sea battles or by island-raiding. However, after that the entertainment disappears under a surface like a holey sailboat. Pirates of Black Cove cast anchor more to younger players than to the old ones.

Any potential for an entertaining and brutal third-person action game set in a popular world of Warhammer was killed right at the start with primitive level design and boring fighting. On a paper, this game had a lot of potential which sadly remained unfulfilled except one thing: very solid multiplayer. Right now, multiplayer is the only reason to play this game or at least think about it.

A successor to the legendary combat flight simulator video game insults its name and its fans by its state of the released version. The game can be partly forgiven for the upcoming revisions that are to improve its gaming experience. I dare say this game is going to be truly great in the following year. Unfortunately, now it's suitable only for those lovers that are patient and loyal to the combat flight simulator games.

This game goes backward in every way. Who got the idea to make a scripted racing video game with a B storyline running on an engine of a shooter game that looks like it was made three years ago? Don't tell me that this game was not taken out of Black Box's video game depository.

An entertaining balancing of a city budget and a flourishing metropolis resulting in a cheerful feeling is being destroyed by its need to build up several cities from the very beginning and by its not so user friendly road / whole city blocks construction.

Kinect Sports has given a right answer to Wii Sports mini-games, showing Kinect true capability to all. However, Season 2, strangely enough, is exactly the same game, demonstrating how quickly we can get bored by a genre without innovation.

Afterfall: InSanity may be criticized for many things. However, if you belong to die-hard fans of Dead Space or Resident Evil titles, the game may manage to attract your attention, and your time spent in it may not be misspent.

Dungeons of Dredmor is like a year-round tyre: it will do its job but no one is going to be enthusiastic about it. Masochists will find this game too soft, while common gamers will find no amusement at all.

This mix of a strategy, role-playing and text-adventure game has its strong story moments with its quite often entertaining battles. On the grounds of these facts it's a pity the game is being struck down by pointless linearity and a noticeable game elements imbalance.

A sloppy job done by the developers of Euro-licensed UEFA Euro 2012 is nothing more than an over combined gaming mode with the Czech national team. If you truly don't long for new graphics and the logo of this year's European Football Championship, save your money and keep playing FIFA 12.

A mediocre collection of XBLA games by Capcom. It includes decent pieces of work, however, they fall from grace in comparison to the rest of the games that's been made defective and that's been put into this collection as a padding as far as I'm concerned. This collection is still worth your money, but it's not worth enough.

Play this game only if you know A Game of Thrones novel and also if you are willing to forgive that the game hasn't been made properly at all. Only then you are going to be captivated by a thrilling and well-made story with the power to make up all the negative aspects. Simply, Game of Thrones is all about its content, not its form.

For now the best game with the Olympic Games' licence. This one differs from the others by its audiovisual quality. In other respects it's all the same - it's unfunny, button-beating as usual that lacks any kind of passion or motivation.

An original idea of a ghost-chasing and solving puzzles through your augmented reality is, however, buried by its brief stereotypic gameplay with technical issues. Buy it at a bargain price, otherwise not.

After a decade of Cortex Command development we've lived to see its "final" version. That alone is a cause to rejoice. Unfortunately, you will be merry until the very moment when you find out the game is still a semi-finished product with a hint of great gameplay.

Of Orcs and Men looks like a promising and fair game, but only for a couple of minutes and thanks to the effort that's been put into the perfect stylization. Afterwards, there's just boring gameplay you will try to endure because of the storyline pieces. The truly important game elements have been killed to no avail by an attempt for innovation that is a failure.

This game is uninteresting, badly-written and maybe even more badly put together. The game code is average in every way, and like it's not enough you'll have your game experience ruined by many many flaws along with many unfinished things on top of that. If you are losing faith in modern FPS actions, do not play this - you will feel much worse about the genre.

For the consumers of The Elder Scrolls universe this is a very good excuse to come back. For the Twilight fans this is a vivid experience of the vampirish soul. For the rest of you the game is offering the content that is not going to change your leave it or love it relationship with the original title.

Something that looked like a very decent restart of the meritorious open-ended city-building game series turned out to be as dull as ditchwater. Maybe, the new SimCity title will be a good game some day. Only if its cities are 4x - 5x bigger, if modders take charge of it, and the online component is working the way it should be working.

A mediocre third person shooter game that brings nothing new. On the contrary, it gets rid of the essential qualities that have made the previous installments successful. Furthermore, Alpha and Bravo are much more boring companions than Salem and Rios, and their Mexican crusade is lifeless as well.

Intentionally, Evoland is evoking memories on some of the most amazing games in the solar system, but the game itself is not the amazing one. Half of it is an illustrative and funny excursion to history of the video game industry, half of it is dull as ditch water. So it's about fifty-fifty.

Inexperience and too much ambition have left their marks on a bland RPG. It contains incomplete game elements, and its combat is the only challenge and entertainment of the game.

Even though Slender uses the most primitive horror elements, initially it works for him. However, after a lapse of time he's losing his breath, and at the end of the game instead of being thrilling he's just boring.

Even though Lords of Football has some interesting ideas, in a few hours the game becomes unbearably repetitive thing unable to challenge nor reward its players.

Charm from the original title is gone. There is not enough humour, technical issues are ruining its gameplay, and even though its developers are trying to mask it, the game's content is not a big thing here. Do not think of it as a prequel to the excellent game, its outcome is mediocre at best.

An outdated game – mentally and physically – that tries to switch from the West nostalgia to a drug dealers filling concrete jungle. Not a good idea. "Among the blind the one-eyed man is king" was the saying. Now, we can call it "The Ugly Duckling". But unfortunately, this is where the story ends – no maturing into a beautiful swan. And now back to the machines, back to the West!

A big disappointment that is ruining one book series' reputation. It's also killing nice aspiration to revive RTS genre by its fatal design faults. This is clear proof that only good intentions aren't enough, and sometimes they lead straight to hell.

It might have been your average good-class hack and slash game with a bit of RPG that might have entertained you for at least ten hours. But who wishes to drudge half a day with game's nonsensical and unavailing faults? No one.

It is an amateurish approach to see a waste of the X-Men: Destiny game's potential. It is a pity that another game title of the famous comics brand did not work out and that the reasons to play it can be counted on four fingers of a single hand.

After the first cult installment with its second sequel Cannon Fodder 3 does not stand as a respectable follow-up. It is not even a good game. It's such a dull thing.

A badly designed game with flaws that br(e)akes its multiplayer dramatically. You know, being unconventional and not able to write a proper game code doesn't pay off sometimes.

A second-rate shooter that's trying to hide its flaws under traditional Resident Evil paraphernalia, such as zombies, heroes and all the other things. A campaign of the game is pointless and without any content at all. Many of the annoying flaws do make your gameplay even harder and, unfortunately, many of those flaws are even in its multiplayer that might have been different if the authors had taken it as their primary goal.

Imagine a game that's been to little avail. Now you've been introduced to Confrontation. The game's interesting ideas are unfinished or misapplied, traditional gaming mechanics do not work and if they do they are dull. Multiplayer is just a padding here. Even if you had been lucky and the game had entertained you for a while, you would still do better for yourselves to find your entertainment elsewhere.

Mad Riders is an arcade racing game that is boring to death. Even though the game offers plenty of tracks, modes and vehicles, the actual differences are in their different colours. Quantity dominates quality and most importantly - it dominates the actual entertainment.

One thing is when you try to modernize principles of genre, and the other thing is when you overdo it with your own bad ideas. Boredom and stereotype are then the essential parts of the overall experience - I don't even talk about the technical issues.

The last and the most hellish fiend is dead, and you find out there's still light outside. Well, nothing to do about it: a remastered Doom trilogy hasn't turned out well. New game bonus is short and dull, and the rest of the stuff that we already know has been remastered in a way no one wishes. Doom 3: BFG Edition is only exclusive because of its price.

Epic Mickey 2 is a textbook example of a bad game made by highly experienced author like Warren Spector. Very bad level design, an incoherent storyline, technical issues, boring cooperative gameplay and a dull AI resulting in fail. The only truly positive thing about the game is its Czech localization, including the Czech voice acting on the PC version.

The game creators did not think it through, and gamers can tell. They remade the graphics into HD (Hell & Damnation), but that is all that counts. What remains is: non-functioning multiplayer, copy & paste of the original outdated game design, and the overall dullness along with many small-sized flaws.

A not so good DLC that's been presented as a straightforward, almost tunnel-like action game with no bearing on the original events nor the characters at all. All in all, even if you take its bright moments of fun, strangely you feel the new chapter, or more precisely the new stand-alone short story (like from the Mass Effect 3 book), is pointless.

Rabbits messed up everything. Unentertaining and unbalanced minigames, even though with some good ideas here and there, or the game's entertaining elements are quite problematic. But the biggest problem is that the game's authors won't even let you play the minigames themselves.

A promising concept of managerial and turn-based strategy from the Prohibition in the United States era. However, its realisation is unfortunate. From the managerial point of view the game is too long, reminding Waiting for Godot. Entertaining fights are subsequently killed by repeating locations and unpolished cover system.

For youngsters it's oddly out of date, for the old stickers it's far from the original. This is how the HD edition of the legendary strategy game Age of Empires II has turned out. From one golden legacy to just broken pieces. Hopefully, its community will put it together.

Setarrif ends as soon as it starts, and that defines its final score. You play it for the sole purpose to finish it quickly. If we take its low difficulty and a lack of a great story, then the quick finish is not a problem at all.

Not new but still an interesting concept that is being perfectly killed by its design, even after several installments of the game – startling technical flaws, confusion over combined missions, barely no artificial intelligence and on top of that problematic pathfinding. The game just totally wasted its good potential.

An unfinished game that could have been entertaining if you didn't have to put so much effort to actually enjoy it. If your character didn't have to level up so slowly, you wouldn't need to invest more money into it. If someone had done their work, there wouldn't be need for this incomplete piece of junk. Not even its low price can change its outcome. There's not even a smile on Joker's face and that is always a bad sign.

Men of War: Condemned Heroes does fail in everything that matters. Missions are stereotypical, AI is weak, its technical execution is miserable with plenty of bugs, the game design is left to chance and the missions are hard enough to satisfy a sadist.

A complex strategy game from the Wild West Indies that's looking absolutely stunning at first glance. However, the game fails completely in many regards. Its controls are overly complicated, the game's mechanics are rather dull and the battles are quite annoying. In the end you are supposed to stare at numbers and drink your real rum, which is a need.

An interesting concept that's been realised into a totally horrible and dull shooter/stealth action crossover that I cannot recommend to fans of the series, not even to fans of the Walking Dead comics. The only noticeable positive about it is its voice acting.

One of the worst movie add-ons of today. This linear, soulless, and ugly action shooter is wrong in almost every aspect. Because of the fact it does actually have some tolerable music and of the fact we will not see another Harry Potter in a very long long time, we give it at least the second worst rating from our scale.

This title is intended for gaming fetishists having the same sense of humour, and who are primarily willing to degrade themselves in order to enjoy this incredible frustrating setting filled with flaws and miserable artificial intelligence.
