    Despite some new features Fable 2 remains 'just' a sequel, with a lot of the same flaws from the first installment. As a player you'll have to look for a perfect balance between the storyline and exploring the game enviroment. Otherwise the game will probably end with you only seeing the half of it. But, in all, Fable 2 offers a great adventure, on which you can float away over the lush grounds of Albion.

    N++
    N++ offers level after level full of challenging obstacles that flow very smoothly from one to another. N++ is not as strong when it comes to making your own levels or when the inspiration is clearly starting to wear out within the thousands of levels in this game. The style, the music and the huge number of challenging levels make N++ exceeds its predecessors.

    After porting all of its classics successfully to iOS, Sid Meier proves himself once again with Ace Patrol. It feels wonderfully refreshing and the dogfights combine accessibility with an intelligent layer of tactics. It's ruthless when failing a mission though, but that's compensated by a look that breathes sympathy and fun multiplayer modes.

    Nidhogg 2 successfully makes a well known and simplistic formula a lot less appetizing, but a lot more fun. There is plenty to do and the fights are great.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes all of its most valuable feedback from the last game and improves them, making Survivor a Star Wars-adventure to enjoy. That is if the technical issues don't ruin your fun.

    The Stick of Truth is the best South Park-game ever played, a very fun game in and of itself and gives the franchise a new dimension. Something that only could’ve been done in game-form. It wouldn’t be Obsiadian Entertainment though, if it didn’t have two handfuls of technical issues and design flukes.

    This collection makes you want to start a new game plus again, even after one hundred hours in the game. There is so much content. The things we did not like about Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel in the first place, are still there unfortunately, like getting lost.

    You've seen The Hobbit by now, but still can't get enough of Middle-Earth? LEGO The Lord of the Rings is a great way to get your next LOTR-fix. The open world, its subtle and less subtle ironic approach and diverse, well implemented game mechanics make this the most successful attempt of merging a major franchise and LEGO yet.

    Improved 3D models and an acceleration option make Final Fantasy 8 Remastered the best way to play the original game again - but that requires you have to like this old, somewhat polarizing game.

    MAG
    MAG is more than just the magic number 256. Zipper has created gigantic maps that don’t result in chaos at all and that’s worth appreciating. Players that work together are rewarded and stimulated. The fact that there are lots of smaller battles inside the big battle is what impresses the most.

    This is not the Fire Emblem you know, though the strategic fights, characters and bizarre music are still there. This is a game that seems simpler, but will make it for the long haul.

    Dirt 2 looked like it was becoming a pimped out version of the first game, with emphasis on the spectacle. But Codemasters once again delivers a formidable racer. Great graphics combined with challenging gameplay and an excellent racing experience make Dirt 2 a worthy successor.

    Sonic Generations brings the best of twenty years Sonic together in one game. The result is a very solid platform experience with eye-popping graphics and fluid gameplay.

    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.

    Finally we’ve got ourselves a brand new Settlers adventure that is more than capable to let us forget the last two parts. Thank you Bruce and Blue Byte for the hours that we’ll be spending behind our PC’s for the coming months.

    Gamers that played, and liked, the original know what to do: start downloading! Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox Live Arcade is the perfect port, with no expense spared. The extra multiplayer options and the replay function even make up for the high difficulty setting.

    The Path is not a game, it's art. And damn good art too. If you're open to it, try it and draw your own conclusion.

    Warriors offers a lot of action for the Fire Emblem series, and Fire Emblem offers tactics for Warriors. This game makes you button bash a lot, which that can be very entertaining.

    Penarium is an extremely difficult, but also fun game. No matter how much you want to curse and throw your controller away; there is always time for another round.

    This special game succeeds in having players look at games in a different light. Even though this game will only speak to a small audience, this is a unique project that will probably be just as often discussed as The Stanley Parable.

    Fallout: New Vegas does not introduce shocking new gameplay elements, but it combines excellent atmosphere with a story that is worth checking out. The game has many memorable moments and incredible depth. Which is why it is a shame bugs, long load times and disappointing visuals take some punch away from the experience.

    It seems almost impossible to not have a special place in your heart for Bulletstorm. People Can Fly could have spent more energy in creating a more substantial multiplayer, but the singleplayer and Echoes-mode make up for a lot, if not all of it. The unique gameplay, ballsy humour and colourful environments make us take our minor griefs with the game for granted.

    Guild Wars 2 goes back to its roots. The new zones offer an upbeat and exciting adventure filled with better events and challenges than Heart of Thornes.

    Trials Rising does everything right, especially the co-op mode is a very nice addition to an already great game. If it was not as rough around its edges, it would have gotten a better rating.

    Technically speaking The Evil Within 2 is a lot better than its predecessor. The game is a lot more accessible for a greater audience, without forgetting about the die hard fans.

    This might be a free add-on; the content and fun is as good as the full story. The controls of Plague Knight feel so different and the surroundings feel brand new. This is a great excuse to play Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows again.

    In the previous Battlefield games we had to do without the singleplayer mode. Fortunately Bad Company is changing that.
