LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is a great game for both young and grown up gamers.

Papo & Yo is the best indie game since Limbo.

Just another sequel for a lot of money? Yes and no. You can find improvements concerning graphics, handling and feeling, but you won’t find real innovation.

Harvest Moon veterans and experienced dungeons crawlers with the will to interact with every NPC will fit right into the world of „Rune Factory Frontier", yet all other friends of this sort of gameplay will find that playing at their own pace gives everyone enough time to learn all there is to know. A true must for fans of somewhat slow, but steady games.

Not only fans will get entertainment for their money! The long list of original fighters out of the UFC and the great orchestration make this game also advisable for casual and new gamers.

Walking, skitching, creating new spots … It seems as if EA has drawn its whole attention to those, admittedly very important things, and so has completely forgotten to offer a new game. For “skate 2” feels, looks and is played just like the prequel.

One of the best beat’em up’s ever. Disappointing that you can’t play the story in co-op with a second player.

A very good game which will entertain more than simply fans of the Street Fighter series. Long-term motivation and retro-charm are a good combination, which will guarantee the success of this title.

Army of Two: The 40th Day is a great co-op game, but also the single player mode is entertaining, even if the commando system is definitely focused on the essential.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is an atmospheric action-adventure without any fighting in it. The creepy sound just thrilled me.

The level barrier is raised to level 30 with this DLC, which is a very cool aspect. Sadly the RPG parts of Broken Steel are not so well done.

Comic racers were yesterday, Blur is today. The graphics aren't really detailed, but the effects are outstanding. Blur is pure adrenaline, but it can get frustrating a bit as well.

Action fans on the Wii really have to buy this game. Trashy, but arrogating fights, a great cell shading look and funny mini games make this bloody tale of revenge to something special.

Amazing feeling owning to the licenses and the new controls. Only the graphics are (still) not on high-end level.

NBA 2K10 is a well developed game! Already in the first match the atmosphere is totally realistic. Top diagram, top sound, top game!

Final Fantasy XIII does not only offer the best presentation of an RPG on the Xbox 360, it also entertains for many hours because of the great though linear story.

Even when the graphics aren’t up to date anymore, Napoleon: Total War is a great add-on to one of the best strategy games ever. Especially the drop in battles is very exciting.

Normally, games aren’t that awesome, if they are based on movies, but this one does nearly everything right. The fighting system is known from the Final Fantasy series and the story is very exciting.

Call it Sudoku Reloaded, in the third dimension, or whatever you want: Word is that Picross 3D is awesome and addictive. You'll overlook the unspectacular presentation, and the amount of 350 puzzles is amazing.

Stunning graphics, a well-told story, and now a big expansion in terms of gameplay and atmosphere: Age of Conan now looks like it should have looked two years ago when it was originally released. It‘s worth a look, this game is very rewarding.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a fast racing game for casual players and fans of the Burnout series.

Its main features are the high frame rate and the massive amount of brutality. Nevertheless, Shank is worth the low price and fun for at least some evenings.

The graphics are just stunning, and the gameplay works like no other title on the Wii. For fans this one is a must-have, and it's your best start if you haven't played any of the other Metroid games.

Medal of Honor leaves you with a shallow taste. On the one hand, it's a very good and intense game, but on the other hand, there are so many elements you've already seen in other shooters. Moreover, the graphics really could have been much better.

EA did it again, but this time in the MMA section. The handling of EA SPORTS MMA is remarkably innovative, and thus the game is very attractive to any fan of sports, especially fighting sports.

Lego Universe may be the wrong game for hardcore- or for experienced gamers, but it's definitely a great MMORPG, which provides younger gamers with a great gaming experience.

Right next to Medal of Honor, this one's struggling to be your action game of the year. It's more suited for veterans than for beginners, and the ending smells roughly like DLC. Nevertheless, great game!

In my opinion, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit revitalizes the series with regards to old virtues. The arcade steering keeps you up with fast paced race action.

This game finally leads Need for Speed back to where it should be. It's very addictive and rewarding.

For 2 bucks, this game has more to offer than some higher priced competitors. Recommended for retro fans and genre specialists.

A beat 'em up has to be fast, colorful and full of action. All these points have gone into Fate of Two Worlds making the game to a must have for every comic aficionado.

Stacking is beautiful to look at and its story about child labor and the stereotypic underdog is heartwarming, yet its controls are sloppy, cut scenes are far too long and for 1200 MSP it might be a little bit pricey for its short length.

Unfortunately, Dragon Age 2 has not met my expectations. The epic story of Dragon Age: Origins made me play the game for hours, but Dragon Age 2 lacks a gripping story. Most of the time you create bloodbaths by running through the same dull dungeons. There are some improvements like a talking main character, but it's not a new Dragon Age, it's rather a hack'n'slay with a touch of roleplaying. If you missed some action in Dragon Age: Origins, then you should get Dragon Age 2, but if you loved the atmosphere, the story and the freedom of choice, then you should expect something different.

The story is well told, a lot of variety is to be expected and the sound is pretty good: For me, The Sims Medieval easily is one of the best games in the series, if not the best. If you're in search for a surprise, this game could be just for you.

It's a worthy part number nine, and the new modes make sense. Its essence focuses on the core: Beating someone else up, with stunning visuals and loads of fatalities.

L.A. Noire is something different, something new, sometimes frustrating, but an experience not yet seen in any other game.

Where graphical aesthetics, thrilling atmosphere and a cinematic soundtrack celebrate their marriage, the gamer always wins.

One of the top Minis at the moment: High quality and self-irony mixed up with addictive gameplay and a unique setting. Great! We want more Alpha Dog, please.
