God of War III delivers the same riveting experience as its predecessors. While there isn't much innovation beyond the stunning visuals the core concept still remains sound. It's the most refined entry in the series and a worthy conclusion to the epic God of War saga.

An epic adventure that shakes things up quite a bit yet still manages to retain the elements that've made the series great.

EchoShift provides a puzzling twist to its predecessors problem solving. Using time-shifted co-op with oneself makes for exciting problem solving, but also makes brains hurt. The cooled presentation unfortunately fails to provide comfort for broken spirits. Well thought out puzzles gives EchoShift long legs but gaming sessions soon runs out of steam.

An incredible atmospheric experience that has no equal in the gaming world.

Still as brilliant as usual for the series, and some new nice features, but somehow lacking a bit in feeling.

With a tight control and excellent level design there's finally a worthy competitor to Mario Kart on the market.

While it's apparent that Arika doesn't know how to deliver a good story, you could argue that the story does help to relieve the past chore of progressing the gameplay. And while the added action is pathetic, the hypnotic exploring is as addictive as ever. Truly gorgeous, while under water, and ridiculously meaty content wise. A case of split personalities, indeed, but nevertheless a solid experience which will please fans of the series.

A bland and un-engaging tactical shooter with the typical PSP-problem: lousy controls. Gray and boring environments in a fictional ex-soviet state, evil terrorists with weapons of mass destruction and, yes, we have heard it all before.

Very similar to last years Xbox 360 release, but the new Japanese voice acting allays the worst part of the game - the exceedingly horrid English dub. All in all, the worst entry in the series but still a solid action-rpg.

A capable j-rpg with some interesting ideas that would've benefited from a more even overall quality.

Puzzle Chronicles is a mix of puzzle and role playing game where the puzzle-battles are way better and more interesting than the rather mediocre and slow RPG-style sections.

Mass Effect 2 improves in almost every way on its predecessor by offering smoother and more action-based combat while still retaining the quintessential interactive storytelling that's always been the hallmark of Bioware games. This seamless melding of genres results in an unparalleled sci-fi epic.

At first Dark Void seems to be a less than great third person action shooter. Then it seems to be a third person action shooter with slight use of a jetpack. But then it blooms and a whole new experience emerges with rapid aerial combat mixed with intense ground combat with a twist. Unfortunately the game’s potential is never reached but the idea is excellent and good enough to make a great game.

An excellent Silent Hill adaption for the format.

Army of Two: The 40th Day is a big disappointment in so many ways. The first game had it's flaws, but was a good game for it's time. These days we expect more from a game, and this just doesn't cut it. An all to short campaign still feels repetitive, an multi player-component that lacks a distinctive feel. But worst of all is the controls, which will give you headache for a very long time. A swing and a miss, EA Montreal.

A somewhat entertaining sports experience without any sort of finesse at all.

Darksiders does borrow most of it’s content from God of War but it can still hold it’s own ground. The story is interesting and cool, the environments are wonderfully designed and the action is almost flawless. Only small control and camera issues hold it back from higher grades.

Non-stop climax action.

The worst exploit of this franchise so far.

A hastily put together product that lacks the overall quality of other band-specific games like Guitar Hero: Metallica or The Beatles: Rock Band. Thank God for Ice Cream Man, Eruption and Panama.

Pandemic's last bang is a skillful composite of equal parts third person shooter, sandbox, tactical espionage and a platformer with a beautiful occupied Paris as backdrop. Nothing revolutionary or perfect but lots of nazi-killing fun, sneaky tactics and destruction.

Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is too cool for it’s own good, but underneath the tacky surface the same, brilliant racing experience is found. The rally courses are especially brilliant and the variety of game and track modes leave little to desire. It’s simply excellent! A steering wheel is needed though.

With Rise of the Pirate God, Telltale sums up a marvelous season with a great final episode. Now we can only hope for a second season.

Without question a solid game experience, but you still can't wash off that feeling of the Zelda-franchise getting a little exploited here. As a direct sequel to Phantom Hourglass it does it's job good, but maybe too good since it's almost a carbon-copy of the previous game. The railroads are a new addition of course, and the time-limit is gone, but in all other aspects this is the same game more or less.

Well crafted, but quite mediocre and repetitive gameplay. Hopefully the movie is a lot better than this, otherwise Cameron's knee-deep in sh.t.

A nice try at innovation, that sadly falls flat. Better luck next time.

Just like with Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection this is a successful adaptation of the original game to the portable format.

While overtly similar to its predecessor, this is far and away a better game. The dearth of content which made the first game so frustratingly repetitive has been remedied and Assassin's Creed 2 is jam-packed with fun stuff to do. Renaissance Italy has never been this engrossing before.
