Hohokum is one of those games, where you can simply lean back to dive into beautifully designed worlds somewhere between “zen gaming” and a serious puzzler.

The table design with its mixture of realistic elements and physics on one side and unrealistic parts on the other might be too much for pinball purists, but it still works surprisingly well. And on top Zen Studios offer a fair pricing system, where 360 users can upgrade their already purchased tables for free – commendable!

In the beginning this almost feels like a side-scrolling No One Lives Forever. But the longer you play, the more you realize that it lacks depth and finishing touches.

This is a classic. And like its PC brother it still is a challenging straight forward top-down two-stick shooter that I can’t get enough of.

This is more remake then sequel. But since the original was an exceptional JRPG Tales of Xilia 2 still offers solid entertainment value.

The minimalistic neon visuals didn’t lose anything in the last five years. But when it comes to the core mechanics, the subtle changes didn’t serve the purpose.

The colorful fight between the undead and the armored crops was and still is a nice take on the all too serious military multiplayer shooters out there.

Sure: It isn’t as fascinating as it was five years ago. But still the fighting mechanics and even more so the visuals stand the test of time. This is one of the best beat-em-ups of its generation.

The simple concept together with its motivating hunt for the bigger and better loot is a perfect fit for consoles – especially since there seems to be a drought in terms of classic hack-&-slay like Dark Alliance.

On consoles this is almost unbearable. But also on PC it falls short, even though the open world looks beautiful in most places. You have lots to do, the fighting system is solid, albeit hampered by a bad camera. But in the end it is rather a superficial experience on almost every level.

80 Days is a beautifully designed, fascinating and open travel adventure with rich storytelling.

This is not enough. Even as a mobile game this was rather a mediocre racer. On Vita with its hardware capabilities this is rather a disappointment.

You won’t encounter any creative outbursts, but it delivers solid and entertaining old-school platform action.

There seems to be an unwritten law that boxing games and PC don’t mix well. And Real Boxing with its mobile origins is just another sad example.

As a tactical roleplaying game it serves its purpose, but when it comes to details in storytelling or game mechanics it becomes monotonous rather quickly.

Just Add Water manages to walk the fine line with rebuilding the retro feeling and adding a few modern twists, although the finicky controls could definitely be more contemporary.

While mechanically this action-adventure is mediocre, it shines with its story approach and its characters.

The clue is in the name… Everything is light about it. The stealth mechanics, the difficulty level, the visuals, everything.

The Last of Us remains a masterpiece. And on PS4 you get the complete story experience on one disc.

As a simulation of complex group dynamics as well as life and death decisions this is a very interesting experiment.

The filmmakers’ interactive experiment fails on a variety of levels: technically, mechanically and, most disappointing, when it comes to storytelling.

Even kids will lose their interest fast this very old fashioned platformer.

Yes, it is ugly and technically faulty. But it orchestrates a complex WWII with an immense strategic depth.

Telltale is still quite a bit away from the quality of the first season, but seems to be on track for a gripping finale.

Also in the so called “Ultimate Edition” this combat flight sim results in a rather ugly crash landing.

As a puzzle platformer it falls short the quality of Giana Sisters or Braid. But nonetheless it is an entertaining, albeit sometimes frustrating experience.

Ambitious 2D-horrortrip borrowing heavily from Silent Hill, but the suspenseful narrative is not enough when level design and game mechanics are too foreseeable and repetitive.

It’s charming. It’s funny. It’s easy on the eyes. But sometimes it is not as precise as you wish it would be.
