    A fresh surrounding, new characters, great action sequences and room for giving the gamer a good sense of what certain characters are about; this episode is amazing. It is too bad that it has a lot of small issues, especially as we had to wait for it for a long time.

    In Katana Zero you will find shallow and flashy gameplay presented nicely. The story and the limited interaction is the main reason for playing this blood-spattered sidescroller. It's too bad it all ends a bit too sudden.

    GTR Evolution feels like the most complete but also last installment in the series. The next one will probably be more like a revolution than an evolution. And with for good reason. Evolution is starting to look a little outdated. Just don't let this stop you from buying this game. GTR Evolution offers you an all-in-one package of cars and tracks in a racer that's almost as good as the real thing.

    Mortal Kombat 1 mainly draws strength from the formula that made the series great. This means a high degree of accessibility, completely bizarre and grotesque characters and of course blood that flows (very) freely. The Kameo fighters are an excellent addition that give the gameplay the necessary depth. This means that Mortal Kombat 1 remains fun to play for a long time, even if you are already tired of the gruesome fatalities.

    Neva feels more like a 'game' than Nomada's previous title, but is nonetheless a top-tier work of art.

    The wonderful hack-and-slash action combined with fluent animations and a beautiful visual presentation make Dust: An Elysian Tail an adventure that you don't want to let go. Fortunately, there's a lot to see aside from the main story in the world of Falana, as to postpone your goodbye with the game quite a bit longer.

    There is no doubt that Marvel's Midnight Suns is a very good strategy RPG. The interaction between the popular and less popular superheroes of the Marvel universe is a feast for fans, with the biggest meal of all being the incredible turn-based fights.

    Hearts of Iron 4 is a strategy game with a nice flow. The many aspects of war are realistically embedded in the game, thought the AI unfortunately fails very often.

    Aside from over 150 characters, easy to get into gameplay and pretty, varied levels, Skylanders Swap force has one excellent new element: dismantling the toys and combining them into new characters.

    F1 2011 is better than F1 2010 on all fronts. A great combination of challenging gameplay and the right race feeling makes this a must-have for all racing simulation fans.

    One of the best first person shooters available right now. The game has a unique character thanks to the required combination of tactical insight and pure skills. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's gameplay won't appeal to everyone, but that's also its greatest strength.

    Iconoclasts might be the most beautiful Metroidvania we have played these past few years. The concepts are not very original, but this game feels like a love letter to the ‘90’s in many ways.

    Bardbarian is very addicting. So much so, that it’ll have you wonder whether you’re actually playing it to enjoy yourself. Thankfully, this doesn’t matter on the commute. A game of Bardbarian is a great time waster.

    This is one of the best multiplayergames for Switch. Though it really is Worms as we know it, Team17 does freshen up the known formula with a few fun additions.

    Curtain Call takes the original Theatrhythm and mixes it with a bag of new tracks, some new modes and a brand new way to control the game. The end result is a light-hearted trip down nostalgia lane for die-hard Final Fantasy-fans.

    Pokémon Platinum is in fact one of many variants on the first few parts, with the marginal note that the game lacks any form of renewal. Nevertheless Pokémon Platinum still offers a very decent roleplaying game that makes good use of the online capabilities of the Nintendo DS. If your not familiar with any of the preliminary titles that this one will be a perfect opportunity to get accustomed to the series.

    Odyssey is the best game in this franchise. It would have been great if the less interesting content was discarded (such as a few locations that are too simular), but the important missions, the war and the hunt for the sect offer many many hours of fun.

    With Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Nintendo shows that is still knows best how to create an excellent platformer. Not only is it beautiful to observe, but the level design is amazing and it has many memorable moments.

    F1 2021 impresses. Whether you're an avid competitor or want to pursue a storytelling career on your own, you'll be given countless opportunities to customize the game. That makes F1 2021 a versatile title. Once on the track, it is still a very solid racing game, suitable for both controllers and (semi) professional racing wheels.

    Invisible Inc. is an exciting turn-based stealth-game in which every choice is essential. Although the game tends to be a tad repetitive after a while, the many different difficulty settings and randomly generated levels offer enough content to entertain you for tens of awesome hours.

    The fun you can get from Do It Yourself is totally dependent on the effort you want to put into making your own minigames. If you only want to play the little games, you can find much better games in the WarioWare series. But if you love making your own games, you'll find yourself engrossed in this game for weeks.

    Defense Grid is one of the best Tower Defense-games and offers a great introduction to the genre on the Xbox 360. The game is well build, very addictive and even a pleasure to watch.

    Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a loving re-release of the original 360-game. The game looks terrific and offers a lot of content, thanks to the additional missions that used to be only available for PC-gamers. It is a good deal, but it still is an oldie as the franchise developed so much over the past years.

    Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is just like a hot dog. It doesn't have to change in order to be tasty. Ubisoft has put on a great sauce with the A.C.E.S.-system, objects you can shoot through, and a great cooperative mode. And believe us it will be the best hot dog you ever tasted.

    Over a hundred hours of gameplay that actually passed the test of time perfectly. That is what you will get in Command & Conquer Remastered. The cutscenes aren't amazing, but the bonus material is. Welcome back to the glorious times of real-time strategy.

    Although Helldivers 2 is somewhat lacking in originality and depth in terms of missions and story, it more than makes up for it with funny *tone of voice*, spectacular gameplay and hilarious moments. Despite the sometimes chaotic action, it offers enough tactical depth to give you an advantage in combat, while emphasizing the importance of communication between teammates.

    Ys: Memories of Celceta is a joy to play. It isn't a technical marvel and doesn't get an award for originality with its story, but the practically perfect combat system reconfirms developer Nihon Falcoms thirty years of experience creating action RPGS's. Memories of Celceta is incredibly fun, addictive and a must have for any RPG-loving Vita owner.

    Dance Central shows what Kinect can do for gaming. The gameplay is forgiving enough t o ensure even players without any sense of rhythm stand a chance, and the Break It Down-mode can teach virtually anyone the dance moves required. The menu controls need some work, but even the sporadic problems with recognizing more subtle moves, the fun isn't spoiled.

    This is modern soccer. It might seem boring at the beginning, but it grows into very satisfying and challenging gameplay that offers unforgettable moments in soccer.

    Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are top notch remakes. The DexNav-application for the Pokédex makes catching Pokémon more dynamic and more worth while; the Hoenn-region is an awesome place for an adventure.
