Thanks to the amount of tasks, collectibles and a pretty good story, AC Unity is enjoyable. The newly introduced multiplayer co-op experience is thrilling too. What a pity that bugs, odd looking visuals and other flaws keep this game from being an enticing experience.

Wet is off to a great start. The Grind house-movie-flavor works and the music is upbeat. The first four hours fly by thanks to the gameplay and a very nice looking Ruby. But after that, it gets repetitive. There's a lack of variation and challenge. When you die, you don't get the feeling it's your fault. And at the end, you get into a boss fight that's a real disappointment. Wet is a game that really entertains for a while and after that doesn't offer enough. This makes the game ideal to pick up when the price drops, to complete it on a rainy Sunday.

If you are looking for a serious fitnessgame to really train your condition, UFC comes close. If you have the proper motivation that is, because the game itself sure isn't going to motivate you.

Virtua Tennis feels like a decent tennis-game. It, however, will never feel like a revolution due to the lack of new gameplay elements. Even though Sega has put in some nice and entertaining, but very small, adjustments. Virtua tennis has easily reached its full potential.

Lego Indiana Jones 2 searches for balance between all the previous Lego-games and the new elements introduced in this game. But the game never really feels like a classic. The Lego Creator, however, is fantastic. You can build whatever you want and that makes us very happy.

Pid is a puzzle platformer that's mostly successful in its audiovisual department. You constantly think you're in a unique world that's filled with variety and atmosphere. Unfortunately its gameplay isn't as successful. The awkward controls and frustrating difficulty often make Pid so frustrating that you'll wish it were a cartoon instead of a game.

It's a daring move to put out an educational game outside of the education-circuit, but the unclear game-mechanics and educational contents of Fate of the World aren't going to get many gamers to willingly sink their teeth in this medium-rare steak of knowledge with emphasis on big issues that concern our world's population.

Ghost Recon Online is and average free-to-play shooter. The game should be appropriate for those who want something that requires more tactics than Call of Duty, but do enjoy a high pace. Unfortunately the maps and classes don't fulfill the balance-requirements that many hardcore PC-gamers will have.

Homefront doesn't live up to its expectations. The emotional and atmospheric story of the (way too short) single-player slowly changes into an over-the-top first-person shooter that lacks in character. Homefront is one of the biggest disappointments of 2011, while the game in and of itself, isn't that bad.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is not a racing game, it's an MMO with racing elements. There is a lot to discover on the two islands and it can keep you occupied for dozens of hours, but it fails to live up to its predecessor. The controls are sluggish and the graphics outdated.

Grow Up hasn't really grown up yet, cause you get a full sand box to explore. It still fails to be a game that everybody will love, but if you enjoyed BUD's first adventure, you will definitely enjoy this one too.

Intelligent Systems has proved its value as strategy-developer for Nintendo more than once. Unfortunately in Code Name Steam the team takes turn-based strategy to a whole other level and it is not a good one.

Although the concept of Batman: Arkham City Lockdown seems to be nothing more than an Infinity Blade-clone at first glance, the authentic Batman elements like gadgets, the music and costume amaze once again. It's a fun action game that'll keep you interested longer then you'll expect.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon is a lot more fun than Gates to Infinity. There is not much change, so the randomly generated dungeons are still unimpressive, but the story is nice, the soundtrack is good and those 720 Pokemon to collect are excellent.

Magic Made Fun is a nicely worked out magic game which uses NDS as its medium for tricks. The game itself doesn't go very deep, but the 30 playable tricks will amaze many friends. Although the box is totally dutch, the game itself is English which might get a negative response from players. If you like magic, this game is definitely something for you.

Final Fantasy Explorers plays like an MMORPG that fits your pocket. It offers a lot of freedom in building your own character, and you will have months of fun on 3DS with Final Fantasy Explorers.

Deus Ex: The Fall isn’t the great game we’ve been hoping for. It’s actually quite disappointing. Big chunks of it just don’t work well, but decent fiction makes up for some of the problems. It’s not enough to warrant a purchase though.

Just like Until Dawn, the Man of Medan setting - a ghost ship - may be cliché, but the outcome is sublime. The protagonists are sympathetic, the shock effects effective and it is amazing how seamlessly the story unfolds while still being interactive. It is a pity that framerate problems sometimes disturb the illusion.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood disappoints because Wolfenstein 2 was much more than a good shooting game. Youngblood is not. Though there are enough moments where the fast gameplay impresses and the co-op entertains, the game disappoints in almost everything else.

Invizimals has a lot of potential as a diverse and inventive game for younger gamers. Sadly, the game shoots itself in the foot. The feeling of searching your own creatures turns into an attempt to cheat the camera and the battles are unbalanced and boring. We would welcome a sequel that improves on these points.

EVE Valkyrie seems to be between a tech demo and a full game. It is an 'okay' multiplayer shooter, that especially feels cool thanks to the virtual reality elements. But as soon as there are better shooters for Rift, EVE Valkyrie will no longer be relevant.

Mario Tennis Open adds a few nice feautures, like a Super Mario Bros-minigame and online multiplayer, but in its core it doesn't utilize the chances it has. The game shines when playing with others though, because the artificial intelligence is too smart (or too stupid) to use the special strikes-system.

Age of Empires does not really age well and the new look and soundtrack do not really change much about it.

With its bizarre characters and their big range of skills, Battleborn has some very entertaining moments, especially when playing it with friends. Unfortunately the single-player missions are not very entertaining. Battleborn really is a game to play for the competitive multiplayer, but you will need to be okay with the repetitive and pretty standard hack and shooting action.

Shiren the Wanderer was a nice concept back on the Super Nintendo. It's not that the game is unplayable, but it ruins your joy when you lose all you have accomplished when you're killed. The game doesn't make much use of the Nintendo DS functions. It would have been better if the game was released on the Gameboy Advance.

Depsite being a serious game, Disaster offers a funny mixture of different gameplay elements. The game tries to trick the gamer into thinking he isn't playing a compilation of minigames and almost succeeds in his mission. Too bad the game lets you do to many times all at once so that it's hard for you to keep focused.

Rainbow Six Extraction combines good ideas with bad ideas. The action is very entertaining and the jars are manageable. On the other hand, the design of the game is very erratic and everything starts very slowly in the first hours. If you're looking for a fun co-op shooter there are better alternatives.

Alien Breed has high production values for an Xbox Live Arcade game. It is polished and looks beautiful. Unfortunately, Team 17 did not succeed to get the gameplay up to the same level. It is too repetitious and straight-forward to be interesting until the end of the first episode, let alone through all three episodes.

We Were Here Too is a cool co-op puzzle game, that challenges you to escape from a room by communicating well. Many puzzles feel the same, so the replay value of this game is not very high.

The Endless Runner-genre makes perfect sense combined with Sonic. It’s running and jumping without too much mush, with some funny and logical references to the Sonic-world. Despite is being a somewhat lazy game that isn’t special in any regard, it doesn’t do anything wrong. It’s exactly like Temple Run, but with a different look. We still prefer Temple Run though, mainly because it’s free.

The Serpent's Curse plays like a classic point-and-click adventure, but the story takes too long to get interesting, the characters are quite implausible and the puzzles are hardly a challenge.

Fusion: Genesis is perhaps slightly overambitious, but in the end a most intriguing game about space exploration and adventure. It lacks an overall depth and the side quests are extremely boring, but we still hope it is the start of something new and exciting.

The Devil in Me is a worthy conclusion to the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology. The murder mystery is thrilling from start to finish.

The main plusses of the Island of Armor expansion are the fun game world and the large amount of trusted pokémon that have been added to the game. Unfortunately, the main adventure around Kubfu is so short that you hardly have the opportunity to enjoy all these favorites.

It's a cliché, but this is a game for the fans. Not because we're scared and we can't take the horror. It's because fans are the only ones that can overlook the faults. The controls and the camera are terrible to work with. The typical Silent Hill-vibe makes up for it.

Castle of Illusion is badly made, and not a very good game in and of itself. This remake has no right to exist whatsoever and is better off forgotten.

Under siege proves, that with a good control scheme, strategy games can be very playable on a console. Where the game misses strategic depth, it redeems itself by calling upon your quick strategic decisions and its high difficulty. The learning curve could've been a bit less steep though.

Lumini is more than just mood lighting. Even though the atmosphere is relaxed, you are constantly puzzling, fighting and exploring. The game may lack in challenge, but it delivers on visuals and sound.

The Collectables is a funny, light and free strategy game. You decide whether your want to cool down after a game, or want to spend a tack of gold to keep playing. With replayable missions Crytek rewards you with enough currency to just keep on going.

The unique low-poly style, soft colors and relaxing music make this amazing puzzle game with its rich history a pleasant game to play. Unfortunately the islands are pretty empty and it is a bit too linear, which is why it feels a bit empty overall.

Wet is off to a great start. The Grind house-movie-flavor works and the music is upbeat. The first four hours fly by thanks to the gameplay and a very nice looking Ruby. But after that, it gets repetitive. There's a lack of variation and challenge. When you die, you don't get the feeling it's your fault. And at the end, you get into a boss fight that's a real disappointment. Wet is a game that really entertains for a while and after that doesn't offer enough. This makes the game ideal to pick up when the price drops, to complete it on a rainy Sunday.

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is a successful conversion from the Gamecube to the Wii. Fans will enjoy the game, but newcomers will also like the addictiveness of this game and its unique style. But the game is technically a bit behind, the difficulty is low and the story is a bit boring.

Pro Cycling Manager 2009 is the most expansive cycling simulator ever made, but it's almost identical to last year's edition. The game might be interesting to newcomers, if they don't mind wading through the many options, facts and figures.

VFR does not compromise when it comes to visual beauty, but talking about controls and gameplay, Doom does not really seem fit for VR. We miss the raw feeling and the cockiness of this loved shooter.

The Callisto Protocol is a decent spiritual successor to Dead Space that's often too careful. The intense action and visual beauty isn't bad at all. But the lack of originality in both story and gameplay are obvious.

The Conduit promises a Halo-experience, but falls short due to the fact that it plays like an antique first person shooter. The singleplayer is completely linear and repetitive and the multiplayer modes are disappointing as well. The only thing that somewhat saves this game are sharp controls.

There is still much to improve about NHL 2K9 but for the average gamer this ice hockey game will be slightly better than NHL 09. Compare the games with FIFA and PES and you will know why you would choose for one of the two (at least with the older versions). Only when you play offline NHL's older brother 2K8 will be a cheaper and better choice.

Our feelings regarding the reboot of Mirror's Edge are mixed. The parkour gameplay is amazing and it feels really quick, but all the other stuff, like the story, the open world and the RPG elements are big let-downs.

If you are looking for something totally new, avoid this game. Star Fox Zero is mainly a classic Star Fox game, though it does comes with some fun surprises. The controls are not great and the choice in airplanes is slim, but still, this is a pretty cool action game for Wii U.

Magna Carta 2 has potential, but doesn't use it properly. The battle system works well and with the real-time elements it shows JRPGs can be quick and action packed. It's sad the rest of the game doesn't match up with its characters, story and mission structure.

They managed to make a nice sequel to one of the better titles of the Sega Saturn. It looks great and the end battles are a joy to play. Too bad it's so short.

A fine puzzle game and inferior Portal-clone. It takes four hours to run through this fun experience.

Ghost Squad is a short and Arcady kind of shooter that is pretty nice. But the price is too high for the normal graphics and thin content.

It takes a little bit too long before Risen 2 becomes a game you'll actually love. The first five hours of the game didn't bode well for the rest of it, but those who persevere are treated to a very entertaining story and a deep leveling system with which you can give shape to your own class. De varied missions stay interesting throughout the game, but better artificial intelligence, a more striking balance and less bugs would have gone a long way for Risen 2: Dark Waters.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River doesn't play well on its own due to its bad AI. The online mode does offer a good experience, but isn't especially unique or amazing. The addition of a splitscreen-mode could've changed that, but Codemasters chose not to include such a thing.

This game is just more proof how LEGO-games really need to innovate. The Incredibles is not very challenging and the screen gets very chaotic often.

Alone in the Dark: Inferno is a cleaner version of the average horror game Alone in the Dark. It's a shame that the faults of the original are still partly in tact. It's more fun to play through, but for the second time the hype isn't justified.

Battlefield Heroes is obviously aimed at the casual gamer. It won't satisfy hardcore gamers as its simplicity and gameplay limitations cause a lot of frustration.

This game might be limited, but does feel like a thorough tactical sim. The space fights do not bore, and the campaign is nice and long.

​Cobalt sometimes is a very entertaining action-platformer. You want to love it, but Cobalt comes with too much unmeant frustration​ to really deserve that love.

Knack 2 is a lot better than the original, but it still is a shallow, repetitive platformer.

Golf: Tee it Up on Xbox Live Arcade is a fun game which certainly deserves your attention. Although it only boasts two environments with eighteen holes each, the great playability and fun will make you come back for more. If you like golf, you should definitely give it a try.

Oninaki is a beautiful action RPG that offers an extraordinary story and great variety in playstyles. The gameplay does get a little repetitive towards the end.

The king of the motorsport makes a fine comeback. Thanks to the focus on arcade gameplay the game is fun to play, but the presentation is lacking and fans looking for realism should search for it elsewhere.

Lume is filled with happy colors, cute characters and a few awfully difficult puzzles which will make you want to pull the hair off your head.

Dinos is a fun new game in the Buzz Junior franchise. Most mini-games have been seen before in a different setting, but it remains a friendly and complete product for kids to spend hours with. It is ideal for kid parties. The team mode is a valuable addition.

Identity brings back the Assassin's Creed formula back to the absolute basics. It is too bad that basis just is not fun.

The tower of blocks that is Tumble VR is built on very unstable puzzles. If you keep on building, you will definitely find some beautiful things, but you might have stopped playing before that happens.

Tannenberg shows a good balance between historic realism and gameplay fun, but it feels a bit too light. The multiplayer shooter does not really innovate and its visuals are not amazing either.

Order of War offers enough challenge to satisfy the purists, but it’s also surprisingly inviting for newcomers. The World War II-setting is used very well and the cinematic perspective makes for a great addition. The graphics are disappointing though, and there are tons of little nags that start to irritate after some time.

Max is our hero, and he will stay our hero. The game world is convincing and that is important as it plays a big part in the story. The game has its flaws, but the atmosphere, the racing and fighting make up for that.

The Pikmin are as cute as ever, but this RTS does not really fit in 2D like this. Hey! Pikmin simply does not challenge the brain, which makes this spin-off just an easy to play platformer instead of something bigger.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 knows how to get us excited about the Olympic Games. The sports are not all worked out to the same extent, but the big variation in mini-games, wonderful story mode and pleasant 2D versions of certain sports provide enough entertainment.

At first, Turok places the player in a game with impressive atmosphere and basic but satisfying shoot-out moments. After cutting through another of those dinosaurs though, the feeling of repetition starts to kick in. In the end, the game restricts the player too much.

I Am Alive starts of great thanks to a combination of great ideas, interesting locations and a compelling story. Subsequently, the game rushes to an end with limited game mechanics and weird story related choices.

World of Warplanes is a very nice arcade flyer. It steers nicely, shoots nicely and dogfights are also, well, nice. Every awful pilot can play tens of heroic and enjoyable games. Unfortunately the game plays it very safe and doesn´t do anything that hasn´t been done before because of that.

Jack Keane is a good adventure game if you are looking for some nice puzzles to spend your time with. The game doesn't convince us when it comes to the character, because that's a thing in which adventure games should be the best. A big environment and hours of gameplay makes the game worth playing, but it really misses a soul.

FIFA Manager 13 is immensely complete and expansive. Almost all tasks related to a team can be undertaken, but you can also let your assistants do a lot of the work. Sloppy mistakes and somewhat unbelievable moments can drag you out of the experience unfortunately, which sometimes negates the feeling that you're an actual coach.

This might not be a traditional game, it does include a pretty great collection of creative ways to challenge your brain.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is anything but intuitive, and that’s exactly what makes it this much fun. While you’re doing everyday things with your family you’ll be rolling on the floor laughing, whilst also feeling something for the characters and its story. All the more a shame that the camera isn’t cooperative at times and certain moments simply don’t work, because Octodad: Dadliest Catch is something special.

Heroes of Ruin might be one of the most generic dungeon crawlers ever. It lacks personality and its own style to differentiate it from other games. That we're still having fun while playing is purely thanks to the solid building blocks used to form this game, which the developer copied expertly. Gamers that only own Nintendo consoles haven't gotten many games like this. For them, Heroes of Ruin might be a game to consider, with great (online) multiplayer as icing on the cake.

The AMOLED-screen on the Vita really works in favor of Touch My Katamari since it comes with a rainbow of colors. Unfortunately the story mode isn't particularly long, which cuts the fun assignments, quirky Japanese humor and happy J-pop short.

Boom Beach is a time management app with funny pictures and a light atmosphere. You can't call it a game though, because it lacks any fun, whatsoever. There are numerous good free-to-play games. Boom Beach isn't one of them.

Burnout Crash! has some bizarre crashes, but other than that it has little to do with the franchise. It's more of a puzzle game now with a cartoon-like look, with the fun gameplay modes locked until further in the game. The birdseye view actually limits the variation in the gameplay.

A sidescrolling Assassin's Creed works fine, but Ubisoft starts working in a genre that is way more developed than Ubisoft is on that department. The graphic style is beautiful and if you'd like to have a more stealthy approach to Assassin's Creed, this is definitely a game for you.

In Sheep's Clothing ties together loose ends and answers a lot of questions. This episode is more a movie than it is game, but entertained us nonetheless. However, there are so many things obvious now - story-wise - that you wonder what else is coming up in the series.

The storytelling and the interactions are not perfect, but Fragments of Him does offer a unique exploration of love and loss, which makes it worth while.

Snake Pass reminds us of the Nintendo 64 era of three dimensional platformers, but with a unique gameplay twist. The game is original, super upbeat and fun to play, but it could have been much more.

Dillon's Dead-Heat Breakers is a tower defense-game that is so repetetive and has so many boring minigames, we can't enjoy it.

State of Mind is a thriller with an interesting story taking place in an atmospheric world that digs deep into ethical questions about what it is to be human and artificial intelligence.

Because of the strong resemblance to its predecessors, Virtua Tennis 4 isn't very different from them, missing the much needed improvements. The isn't a follow-up , but more of a sidestep and can be considered more 'new' than 'better'. It's a blessing then, that all of this rests on the very enjoyable foundation of the previous instalments.

Ultimate NES Remix for 3DS takes sixteen NES classics and sends you on missions that are full of self-mockery. Everytime it is challenging to beat the high scores. An awesome game for on the go, but we cannot understand why this 3DS game offers less content than it's big brother on Wii U.

At this moment Pokemon Go is still plagued by bugs and server issues, but behind it all is a very special game. This year there will be nothing that compares to Pokemon Go.

XenoVerse gets the MMORPG treatment on next-gen consoles. You can customize your own character and even the plot has changed. And that change is not always for the better: the new features are not developed properly, which makes Xenoverse first and foremost a fighting game like others.

The charm of the original games is still there, but the new art style and improvements can't help this remake: it's still a disappointment.

The Amazing Spider-Man doesn't make any mistakes, but also doesn't surprise in any way. It fits perfectly along the lines of other movie-based Spidey-games. That formula offers the necessary entertainment, but is a stale one at that. That's something a fresh storyline and a graphical update really can't change.

Sea of Solitude is very outspoken about themes like lonelyness and depression, but it simply does not know when to shut up.

Shelter is the nature version of Journey, with as a major difference that you have something to lose. The game is serene and tense, linear in a way that it feels natural, beautiful and simply special in every way.
