    This game should have released years ago: it is an amazing indie game about psychological disorders with a lot of original gameplay.

    This game offers something that Wii players are dying for: proper gameplay mechanics, challenging opponents and a great graphical style. The variation between the fighters, aesthetic as well as their fighting style, will constantly give you a pleasant feeling. Our advice: Don't miss this title.

    DJ Hero is all about one thing: experiencing music, that one moment where you are totally in the zone and the music becomes part of you. With 93 great mashups that is no problem at all.

    Hitman 3 manages to find an excellent balance within the existing formula. The levels are very diverse and full of options for devious assassinations. At the same time, Hitman 3 underlines that there is not much more stretch in this formula. Still, it is a worthy - and welcome - conclusion to the trilogy.

    Once again Sega delivers a fascinating adventure. The action is over the top, the story very well written and Tokyo offers an infinite amount of adventure. Sometimes you notice the game is a bit old, but it doesn't change the overall experience.

    Trauma Center: New Blood is everything that Second Opinion was, only a little bit better. All the operations are fun and challenging to do and the extras and adjustments offer enough new gameplay elements that it justifies a new game instead of an add-on. Just beware of the difficulty setting, that only a true doctor will enjoy.

    Midnight Club LA stays loyal to the series and is by far the most complete and finished version. The game is still a little bit unforgiving and frustrating but keeps it to a minimum. In contradiction, the game offers a very lively Los Angeles and the controls offers you exactly what need: to manouvre through traffic with mind boggling speed.

    Before the Storm shows that you don't need super-strength to tell a good Life is Strange story. The relationship between Chloe and Rachel is special enough to carry the whole game.

    Guitar Hero Live does not reinvent the guitar, but it does bring enough fresh elements to make even the classics feel brand new. The FMV-gigs are both cliche and entertaining, and Guitar Hero TV shows that that Guitar Hero is still relevant in 2015.

    The dull antagonist and the annoying protagonist do not help StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Voids story, but Blizzard does show that it knows strategy games. The campaign is diverse, the co-op is highly entertaining and the visuals and sound are terrific.

    Condemned 2 is a pleasant but also frightening game in which the gameplay feels quite fresh. The fighting system works great and the murder investigations are a good way to involve the player into the storyline. Unfortunately the game doesn't stay as fun as the first few missions.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the ultimate Naruto-game you can get at the moment. The line between anime and game disappears on a regular basis thanks to the atmosphere it delivers both during and outside of the storyline. The problem with lag and cumbersome setup of the online multiplayer are the only real faults in an almost flawless Naruto-experience.

    Rising Tide makes Civilization:BE better in almost every possible way. Besides an alien sea to colonize, this add-on develops the diplomatic system and Affinities into something new.

    Dishonored plays like a dream. Whether you're jumping from roof to roof unseen, stopping time with magical powers, going berserk like gunman Terry or sneaking up on someone for a silent kill, it all makes sense. The unlimited freedom feels great. Dishonored doesn't rise to greater heights due to its story. It's being told, but you never really experience it. Consequences of your actions are only heard, not seen.

    Galak-Z The Dimensional offers spectacular space fights with a satisfying roguelike experience. It is a pity the roguelike elements disappear more and more into the background when the game continues, and that the environment is the same everywhere, but other than that this is a good space experience.

    The games on this disc aren't altered that much, but Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 and Peace Walker are still amongst the best action games you can play right now. Still, the first Metal Gear Solid is the best game in the series and is truly missed here.

    Arkham VR is one of the prettiest virtual reality experiences thus far. It is steady, but unfortunately somewhat short. The interaction had us longing for more though.

    The design and concept of Echochrome is so simple that it seems easy to play. And it is: you can see all puzzles in one day if you try hard enough. Still, it requires some thinking and it's a surefire hit with puzzle-fans.

    Revelations is the proof that the 3DS is really a powerhouse. The circle pad makes controlling the game a great experience as well. The cooperative Raid-mode is a fine addition. The action-sequences in the main game weren't necessary, however.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the Assassin's Creed that Ubisoft will never make. The game lets you play the ultimate samurai - or assassin - in a beautifully designed feudal Japan, but it consists largely of generic activities that are now stereotyped for this genre.

    2D platform- and puzzle games and art go hand in hand. Thus is the case with Closure. It offers an amazing artistic experience and knows how to stand out in a crowd with a unique concept and entrapping atmosphere. Like a reader of poetry, you make your way through Closure: you don't always know what you're doing, but the experience is always amazing.

    Judgment uses the absurdity and world-building of Sega's Yakuza series to tell a wry and ambiguous story about a private investigator. The storytelling is not very subtle, the combat system is hardly innovative and the game world is rarely unique. Still, when it comes to quality, this detective game can easily compete with the best Yakuza parts.

    If puzzles full of cutesy characters and bizarre situations are for kids, we never want to grow up.

    If Ghibli would ever produce a game… it'd be over in two hours. Luckily the animation-studio started working on their game with Level-5. The result is an immensely expansive and typical Japanese RPG, with all of its negative and positive consequences. Above all, Ni No Kuni is a magical journey that'll make you feel like a kid again, in a surprisingly adult wizards-world.

    Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut doesn't really surprise anywhere, but it adds roughly ten hours seamlessly to the already strong main game. Iki Island takes the best of the original and just goes the extra mile. Sony's messy cross-gen policy is back with this reissue.

    The Sims 4 Student life is a must-have for the experienced and beginning Simmer. The package adds a realistic aspect, more gameplay options and more growth options for your sim to the game. The construction and create-a-sim items are also a nice addition to the basic game.

    Contra 4 is a respectable comeback of the series to its original form. The game brings good memories and is something every gamer should have played once. It might be difficult in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it you will be rewarded. Not everyone will like the game, but those who do will enjoy one of the best times in their life.

    Warlords of Draenor is a smart, fresh start for World of Warcraft. New and current players can immediately start in the newly added areas and they make a great experience. It is too bad rude players are still negatively effecting the fun, but the game itself is really great.

    Soulcalibur V doesn't change the formula and doesn't even try. A fighting game in the purest form, that we all know and love for years. A few delicate tweaks and a robust online mode make you come back for more.
