    Elefunk is a puzzle game with which both architects and normal gamers will have much fun. The building of bridges needs insight, but are never impossible to solve. More levels would have been nice and we also had some trouble with framedrops. Anyway, this game is well done.

    Developer Game Freak shows with Pokémon Black & White that they can appeal to the veteran as well as the starting Pokémon trainer. Although the game is way too easy for the veteran Pokémon trainer, it does offer completely new and beautifully crafted environments, with an overload of new Pokémon, techniques, strategies and the triple battles are a valuable addition to the game. But because they're still too basic, Black & White aren't better than Diamond & Pearl.

    The best episode of Tales of Monkey Island up until this point. The puzzlers are a lot of fun to solve and the characters as original as we're used to from this series. Let's hope Telltale keeps gaining momentum.

    This is an impressive port of the PS3 classic. The new levels made by Sony Cambridge are filled with fantasy and smart puzzles. Still, the game could have done with a few more levels, because the level editor might be a bit too deep for the PSP. Still, all the charm from its big brother is still present here and it’s one of the best and most original games you can buy for the handheld.

    PES 2011 has an eccentric approach of soccer. It's fast, fun and action-loaded. There are some flaws, but it's undeniable: the master of soccer games is back.

    Though Blizzard seems to be very "inspired" by other MMO's while making Legion, it is still very much a Warcraft add-on with new class quests and legendary weapons to make this very old game feel extremely new again. World of Warcraft is fun and adventurous again.

    Forza Motorsport 6 introduces gamers with heavy rainfalls and night races and offers as much content as we are used to in this franchise. The career mode is slightly boring and nothing is revolutionary in this game, but Forza Motorsport 6 will definitely let you experience cool moments.

    This is a very thorough arcade fighter, which offers many different fighting styles and dynamic fights. The controls are spot on and and the new gameplay mechanics are a welcome addition to the franchise.

    Skate 3 is the best skateboarding game out there. It’s certainly no revolution, but due to its strong gameplay and some great additions we will be impressed if Shaun White and Tony Hawk will reach this standard.

    The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands offers us a typical Telltale experience. We do not love all new gameplay mechanics, but the new setting, intriguing characters and humor make up for it. This is a good start.

    With its nearly flawless action gameplay and absurd set pieces, Bayonetta 3 is exactly what you expect of it. However, the game is also surprisingly varied and expansive, with only a lackluster story that weighs it down.

    Assassin's Creed 2 is an excellent game. It's impressive to climb a massive cathedral from which you can overlook the entire city. The game surpasses the original game in almost every aspect, but the flawed AI and weak ending hold it back from becoming what we hoped for. It's still a beautiful adventure from the very beginning until the end.

    The Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. definitely is the most rich one. This fighter offers an awesome package for both newbies and veterans. Fights with up to eight people in one arena make for a great party. We would have liked to see the new features a little more refined.

    When you first look at it, Geometry Wars seems not very unique. It is a classical twin-stick shooter, but as soon as you are in control, the chaos seems organized and the pulsating music guide you in the right direction. We are, once again, in a trance.

    This is a very well rounded basketball game, made by and for fans of the sport. The countless details and different facets of the sport are perfectly recreated in the game. The graphics are insanely realistic, but the frame rate suffers sometimes because of it. Still, this is the best basketball game of this season.

    Even on your cell phone, San Andreas is a big and entertaining game. Even now it looks great and some parts have even been tailored to the platform. Touch controls could be better, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you'll have a great time with San Andreas for a few Euros.

    Advance Wars: Dark Conflict may look less childish from the outside compared to previous games in the franchise, but deep down inside this is still the good old gameplay we've come to love. There are some new units and the graphics take some getting used to, but fans will feel right at home.

    The game was worth waiting for. The action feels like Robocop meets Rambo with a little extra. Furthermore Bionic Commando features some references to the old game that will give the veteran a nostalgic feeling. The storyline and non linear gameplay spoil the fun a little bit, but in the end the game does exactly what is expected: shoot, stomp and swing.

    If you've got nothing going on with Metallica then it seems a little illogical to buy this game. But you'll probably buy it anyway if you're a Guitar Hero or Rockband fan. The game deserves that much attention. Especially Guitar Hero veterans will love the rocky numbers that are enclosed in this package. On the other hand, the little flaws and the inferior career-mode (in comparison to Rock Band) can be too much of a problem for the casual rocker.

    H.A.W.X. 2 corrects most of the flaws from the first game. The strong variety in missions and challenging dogfights make it the best game the genre has to offer up to now, but there is still room for improvement. Especially the lack of competitive multiplayer modes and the cumbersome lobbysystem fall short in comparison to the rest it offers. It doesn't take away from the fact that others will have a hard time to take back the throne.

    Kirby's Epic Yarn makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You'll literally be amazed all the time and the game treats you with all sorts of funny jokes consisting out of fabric and yarn. The game might be to short and easy, but the all around quality and creativity make up for those in full. It's a platform game you'll fall hopelessly in love with.

    Brut@l is one of this summer's most pleasant surprises. By taking inspiration from classics like Rogue and adding new gameplay mechanics, striking visuals and some very fluent gameplay, Brut@l becomes a great game in its own right.

    Actual fear and horror step aside for an especially serviceable focus on action. This isn't solely the case for the lonely players though. Cooperatively there's more than enough quality to extract from F.E.A.R. 3, which makes this part the real successor to the original. The game stays on its feet, even though the story is poorly told and lacks impact, which is more than mentionable nowadays.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising copies elements from Zelda: Breath of the Wild to your heart's content and combines them effortlessly with the trusted Ubisoft formula. This combination turns out surprisingly well due to the funny writing, the colorful world, and interesting puzzles.

    Driveclub tries to differentiate itself from the competition with a lot of elements built around racing. Ironically, the racing itself is the high point of the game, next to the occasionally beautiful graphics and lighting effects. Thanks to weird online restrictions, the club system loses a lot of its charm.

    Good controls, nice chiptune music and farcical imagery make Fist of Awesome a wonderful beat 'm up. It hardly bores and you feel the fun the developer had making it with every strike.

    Peggle 2 might be the most addicting game on the Xbox One. Online leaderboards and more content would've done it a few favors, but it doesn't buckle under this criticism. 'Xbox, go to Peggle 2' will be a phrase uttered in many living rooms.
