    In Catherine, Atlus successfully combines a puzzle game with heavy emotions (and a large bit of surrealism). It's an important game, that might appeal to an older crowd.

    This collection brings three classic games back to life with updated HD graphics. These games has passed the test of time well, but where is Metal Gear Solid for the PS1?

    Journey is a pure and decorticated experience where everything - music, graphics or interaction with other players - works together to form a perfect symbiosis. There are no highscores or leaderbords in Journey. There's just an uncompromising and personal adventure towards a mountain in the distance.

    Set out as a fresh sixteen-year-old, ready to take on the world. Practice, negotiate with clubs and get sponsors, girlfriends and a luxurious lifestyle. Probably the best mobile soccer game ever.

    Controlling Trials is minimalistically easy. It's all about speed and angle. Mastering it, on the other hand, is challenging to a point of madness. With the large amount of content and the smart online features that it has, it could have been released as a full priced title.

    An undercover cop infiltrating the Triads of Hong Kong in a game that does most things right. All elements of the game are great, from story to fighting to driving. One of the best sandbox games in a long time.

    A real killer app for the Vita, with tons of cozy charm. The campaign is great and the game makes good use of the Vita's touch controls. There is a lot of user created material too, thanks to the great level editor.

    This year's edition is bigger than ever. It features an almost ridiculous amount of game modes and licenses, everything packaged in a nice presentation. Several systems have been rehauled as well, such as the physics engine and the AI. It's just a shame that the players still feel a bit sluggish with too extreme shots and passes.

    A rhythmic platformer with great music and visuals. It's easy to pick up and play, but clearing the harder levels is a real challenge. Addictive.

    Forza Horizon pulls off a splendid mix of arcade racing and simulator and impresses both visually and in driving mechanics. The presentation and attitude could be better and the game really flaunts it's coming DLC packs.

    Control an agency with the goal of defending the earth from hostile aliens in this fantastic mix of management and strategy. A perfect example of how the integrity and legacy of a classic game can blend with modern game design.

    A different experience with a heavy atmosphere, both beautiful and a little scary. Hardly more than an hour long, but still it manages to convey more than most games does in ten hours.

    Level 5's highly anticipated collaboration with Studio Ghibli is just as great as it looks. And it looks great. The art style is exactly what you'd expect from Studio Ghibli, and the same goes for the music. Battles are fought with familiars, that you collect and train throughout the game. It's not a revolution, but it does almost everything right.

    Bioshock Infinite is indeed a very good game, mostly because of its narrative and atmosphere. It offers a well written story in a living and interesting gameworld with believable characters. The only downside is the action scenes, which are both too frequent and feel somewhat unsubstantial.

    After it's initial months on the market it has become clear that WAR is an MMO to be reckoned with. It's focus on player versus player action is what sets this game apart from other MMOs and that very focus is what makes it a great experience. Developer Mythic has worked hard on improving the experience and weeding out the issues that initially plagued the experience, something that motivates players to revisit the experience again and again. If you're a bit fed up with the run of the mill MMO-experiences out there this is a great title to bet your money on.

    Spore is easily one of the most ambitious games ever made and it's impossible not to be impressed by the finished product. The possible variations in what you can create feel close to endless and the ability to share these creations with other people adds a lot to the package. The five main phases of the game vary in quality, but the final phase that ties the experience together will impress you. Will Wright adds another triple-A title to his collection.

    Nintendo's third entry in the Smash Bros series isn't just a trip down nostalgia lane - it's also a heck of a fun experience. With an insane amount of content and a gameplay begging for sessions with a bunch of friends this is a perfect addition to the series. A somewhat dodgy online mode and random events during fights mar this otherwise fantastic and frantic experience.

    Final Fantasy XIII does away with a lot of the components that make out the traditional Final Fantasy formula, which at first feels odd, but the overall experience is still very much a Final Fantasy one. The combat system might just be the best the series' has ever offered and the characters are with a few exceptions well fleshed out. It's a shame that it takes almost twenty hours for the game to realize it's true potential since the experience for those who endure the slow introduction is nothing short of amazing.

    A thoroughly enjoyable combination of rpg elements, social interactions and appealing presentation makes this a great adventure for all to experience. The fact that your actions always affects the rest of your experience does add a lot to the experience. There are a lot of bugs that mar the experience and the variety of enemies isn't exactly top notch, but Fable II will offer you a great adventure you don't want to miss out on.

    Tekken is back after 4 years of waiting. The news is few and the graphic feels dated but the game mechanics still works as it should. Thanks to a higher tempo the game is among the best beat’em’up games this generation.

    With Halo Wars we're treated to an easy to play strategy experience on a home console. The control scheme might not be on par with what you'll find in PC-counterparts, but it serves it's purpose without giving you too much grief. If you love the Halo games and are in the market for a great strategy experience you should definitely give this title a try.

    Compared to a lot of the other games released this fall the content offered in Left 4 Dead is on the meager side. You can breeze through the campaign in one sitting, and the multiplayer versus mode isn't all that interesting in the long run. Left 4 Dead should be enjoyed with up to three other players in co-op, a mode where this game really shines and offers you intense non stop action where cooperation is a must. If you enjoy playing with others, this is a must have. If not there are more meaty games to invest in this fall.

    Beyond the beautiful graphic you have seen most of it before but if that doesn’t concern you then you will enjoy the gameplay and the beautiful graphics for many hours.

    Unreal Tournament III is, like it's siblings on the PC and Playstation 3, a great looking multiplayer title with equally great gameplay mechanics. Playing a round with a friend in your couch is a great experience, as is jumping into a frantic game online. The only caveat in this version is loading times being a tad bit too long and the lack of downloadable user created content. These shortcomings aside, this is one great and entertaining experience.

    It is more of a tool for the creative ones than a traditional game. It is a simple, cheap and a rather powerful alternative to the more expensive and complicated software alternatives for the hobby musician.

    This entertaining package offers you three main components: an improved and modernized version of Escape from Butcher Bay, an expansion called Assault on Dark Athena that matches the length of the original game and a multiplayer mode that does offer some unique takes on existing concepts. Even though the expansion doesn't match the original game in quality and the multiplayer does grow tedious in the long run the overall quality and size of the content offered is well worth your attention and money.

    The fifth entry in the Splinter Cell franchise is finally here and introduces a way more action oriented gameplay experience than what we're used to. It takes a while getting used to and does enable a run and gun approach. Less stealth, less gadget and more action. While it's not the Splinter Cell of yore it's still a great action experience and the cooperative campaign is great fun.

    This fourth entry in the series offers a great production value with a slower tempo, allowing you to perfect your techniques. The character creation mode is the stand out feature offering gamers a jam packed mode with a slew of options for creating unique characters. New features such as Soul Gauge and Critical Attacks go unnoticed though. Despite this, and a somewhat uneven balance in the character roster, Soul Calibur IV is a great value for your money. This is fighting games at it's best.

    Like a less polished God of War with a great comic book artstyle and brutal gameplay. Has some minor flaws but is overall a brilliant action adventure.

    This is the game that Sid Meyer always wanted to make, and it shows. It retains the core elements that makes the series great, but with greater focus on battles and with a faster pace. An intuitive interface and great graphics makes this title a blast to play, and the flaws aren't enough to deter even the most seasoned gamers.
