    This game makes a 25 year old Game Boy game relevant for current gamers. It is true to the original, which makes it a lovely blast from the past to carry around with you.

    Despite that Project Zero 2 is a remake of a nearly ten year old game, it doesn't feel dated. The developers created a more threatening atmosphere with, mostly, technical adjustments. Especially the dynamic camera and convulsive Wii-controls make this an extra uneasy experience. The game has gotten a nice makeover in the graphics department and is worth checking out for those who are unfamiliar with Project Zero II.

    At first you think Shadow Planet is all about the original looks, but the more you play, the more you realise this game gives your brain enough complex situations to keep you occupied for hours on end.

    After twelve hours of gameplay you can put Red Steel 2 to rest, because there's no multiplayer here. Still, in those twelve hours you've experience a challenging adventure with impressive sword controls and wonderful graphics. It's not perfect, but it has never been so much fun to become a samurai.

    After years of uninspired movie-licensed games, we finally get to run, fly and drive around with the Transformers and be happy about it. The lacking AI and unvaried fighting sections kill some of the fun, but the game does have a lot of redeeming factors and with a second player you'll feel right at home.

    The relationship between two brothers is realistic and cute. The first episode is a bit of a slow start, but the writing certainly is better now.

    Finding and collecting the many Bugsnax is as much fun as discovering the island and immersing yourself in the lives of the Grumpuses. The result is a humorous and entertaining adventure that will keep you interested until the end.

    Original and filled with character. Winterbottom is a charming platformer that reminds one of Braid. Maybe it’s not as brilliant as that game, but it’s still a wonderful ride.

    The compact, well working mechanism and focused gameplay of Greed Corp makes this a perfect offer for gamers who aren't looking for another turn-based strategy game using Advance Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics as blueprint. A large campaign and more than enough maps keep you occupied for a long time.

    Conviction manages to make stealth a mass market feature. Mark and execute is a fantastic addition. The co-op missions are the highlight of the game. It’s just too bad the singleplayer lacks big, open missions like in the old games.

    A Fisherman's Tale is a very original adventure game with a few good puzzles. It is very charming and offers a good hint system to keep you from getting stuck.

    Fight Night champion fights the good fight in upholding the tradition that each part is better than its predecessor. It's realistic, atmospheric, spectacular where necessary and exercises an approach on sports that other sport-games only dream of. It's too bad though that EA decided to give players who pay an extra fee an unfair edge over their online competitors.

    Ring Fit Adventure offers an excellent fitness fantasy that actually makes you forget that you are doing intense exercises. Although the gameplay and story do not contain much depth, the game offers excellent motivation for gamers who are looking for a little more movement in their lives.

    Sacred 2 will probably stay in the shadow of "Diablo III", but still manages to be a pretty good game. The huge enviroment will gift you many hours of gameplay and the traditional style of playing works more than fine. This being said, Sacred 2 offers few new features but in the end the balanced gameplay and varied mission structure will be worth you while.

    Path of Exile is a unique game. Not because of its contents, because we’ve seen all of that before and many times done better, but simply because it’s a full featured dungeon crawler that’s completely free. Especially Diablo 2-fans shouldn’t miss out on this.

    Metal Gear Solid reinvents itself in Ground Zeroes. The controls are tighter, the world bigger and Snake more adult. It's a great demo for The Phantom Pain, the real fifth installment. This game is overshadowed by its unsympathetic business model.

    Developer Tripwire has joined forces with the modding community to provide us with this stand alone multiplayer expansion to Red Orchestra 2. It perfects the realistic shooter and offers an interesting setting with Asia. Whoever's done with the Call of Duty's and Battlefields has a very impressive, yet sometimes frustrating, alternative with Rising Storm.

    Thanks to the new tech-tree, the beautiful factions and solid gameplay, Supreme Commander 2 is a great RTS that belongs in the top of the genre. However, there are a few changes to the formula that will not please all hardcore fans.

    This action adventuregame uses the power of VR perfectly. The bow is an excellent weapon and you feel pretty bad-ass while you dive into some shooting action.

    Dissidia Duodecim is one of the final memorable twitches of the PSP. It's a great fighting game with an impressive amount of Final Fantasy characters. That makes it all the more painful that the camera doesn't work in your favour and the different campaigns are relatively meaningless.

    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.

    Although the game has been made especially for the DS, not enough DS specific gameplay elements have been put into the game.

    No matter where you walk, in rain forests or snowy mountain tops: Shape of the World looks gorgeous. When it comes to quality and ambition it is nothing like Dear Esther, but on its own Shape of the World is a lovely game.

    Visions of Mana is an excellent role-playing game, full of sympathetic characters and captivating folklore. The unparalleled flora and fauna make it worth exploring the game world, without this being at the expense of the sharp pace of the twenty-hour story. The game is very explicitly based on a bildungsverhaal that we have already seen many times. With a little more daring, Visions of Mana would have been an RPG classic. Now it is mainly a very good game.

    Beaterator brings an excellent music application to the PSP which makes it possible to create some slamming tunes. It has an accessible and entertaining Live Play mode for newcomers, but if you want to create a track from the ground up, an extensive knowledge of production software or perseverance is required. Although Beaterator can't compete with professional software on PC or MAC, the low price and ability to create a mix everywhere you go makes this something worth buying. Even for seasoned professionals.

    Sniper Elite 4 is great when it comes to the quality of the missions. We can't think of many better shooter simulations. The game is good in many ways, but it would have been better with a great story.

    Call of Duty: World at War has a good, but not so memorable single player experience and a fantastic multiplayer. The cooperative mode is the best thing about the game, so people without Xbox LIVE Gold should wait for the game to appear with a budget price.

    Band Hero is Guitar Hero 5's casual sister in almost every way. All the elements from her big brother can be found in this game, along with the new Sing Along-mode and Party Play. The new features, the casual style and matching tracklist have made this a game that can compete with SingStar on every party. Add the ability to import the songs from Guitar Hero 5 and World Tour into the game and Band Hero is a game that is truly for everyone.
