    And again Ron Gilbert shows why his games are so appreciated. Deathspank is a stylish action game with a great sense of humor.

    Tales of Monkey Island is a great new chapter in the Monkey Island-series. It's a fun addition to the episodic games that Telltale Games offers and will satisfy the hunger of fans of the series. It's only a shame that the quality of the original series never will be achieved again.

    Every gamer that's looking for a strategic RPG with decent gameplay mechanics, a well designed environment and with enough items to fill an entire dungeon, will have a blast with King's Bounty: The Legend. The game never stops surprising you with new gameplay elements and gives you total freedom. In production terms King's Bounty doesn't offer the same as triple A titles do, but don't let this stop you from buying this 'undercover classic'.

    UEFA Euro 2008 might not be the most original game, but it certainly entertains us... On the other hand the playing time is a bit short, there are a few minor bugs and the game even lacks the Dutch football team.

    Technically, Rage excels. The shooter mechanics are fantastic and the enemies vary in their tactics. However, the game starts to drag towards the (sudden) end, and the save system irritates.

    BioWare set the bar quite high for themselves with the Dragon Age: Origins. With big-but-subtle changes, the developer tries to address a larger audience with the second game, but this doesn't mean that these changes aren't fit for the hardcore demographic. On the contrary, Dragon Age II keeps the deep RPG-elements and the gratifying story that turned the first part into such a well received game.

    Tales of Vesperia's presentation is excellent and the characters really absorb you into the story. However, the simple battle system and the lack op depth prevent the game from rising to great heights.

    Resident Evil 3 is lots of fun to play and it improves the original game when it comes to design and gameplay. Unfortunately it is a bit too much like the Resi 2-remake, which makes us long for something new.

    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.

    It is unbelievable how great Doom works on Switch, but technically speaking this is not the best version of Doom that is out there.

    Within the entire franchise, Dirt 5 is a somewhat odd man out with even more focus on arcade. One that lets you race nicely uncomplicated, but at the same time is quite limited. The audiovisual potential should mainly be exploited on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S.

    The fourth episode of Tales from the Borderlands is a let-down, especially compared to the astounding third episode. Although the new setting is great, there just is not much speed in this episode. Plus, it is very hard to remember details that are important in moments of choice.

    Horizon Call of the Mountain is mainly a showcase of Sony's new virtual reality headset. This shows that the PS VR2 is technically the best VR headset currently available. And yes, the PS5 can keep up with all of that just fine. In terms of gameplay, it mainly feels like a 'greatest hits' of previous VR games, but merged into a beautiful, seven-hour package. The battles against the immense machines are among the highlights. And while the climbing works well, there's just a little too much of it.

    Tales is a classic JRPG, with generic graphics but a fine anime style. The story is rich, the characters are interesting and the only thing we dislike about it is the backtracking that is often needed.

    It is a pleasure to pilot a spaceship in Star Wars Squadrons. That is actually the most important thing. Especially in VR it is an unprecedented spectacle. It is a pity that at some point you get bored of that due to the poor story and the sparse multiplayer modes.

    Despite the bland racing-modes you will find many hours of entertainment in this game. Arctic Edge takes the pole position when it comes to racing games on the PSP.

    Pets is worth the admission price. It's a must have for animal lovers and you get a lot of cute animals and a new skill for your character.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf mixes Infinity Blade-ish combat with an interesting story, but is graphically demanding. Every menu is interactive, moves and demands computing power, what leads to long load times and crashes. Behind these problems hides an entertaining fighting game and an interesting story.

    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.

    Housemarque proves how good it is at twin-stick shooters. All puzzle pieces fall into place: shooting, walking around, enemies and challenging gameplay. The story based setup makes Alienation a bit clinical, which makes this game less epic than Resogun and Super Stardust.

    The updated graphics cannot mask that this classic hasn’t aged gracefully. Although Perfect Dark remains a good shooter and it feels fantastic to play this game without drops in the framerate, time has moved on since the release of this game.

    Shin chan is like that one holiday at a campsite in the south of France, when summer seemed endless, you made friends effortlessly and finding a shiny card in a pack of trading cards was the highest goal in life. Whether you relax or get bored of that is something to decide for yourself.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered shows that the original still needs some work after ten years. The mix of speed, sensation and freedom is still near perfect.

    Gears of War: Judgment shines in multiplayer as well as single-player through the way it controls and the typical, but entertaining action. The big downside is that there isn’t much to do in the single-player. The story hardly plays to the strengths of previous installments, which is a missed opportunity. The multiplayer plays great as usual, but seems lacking in content with only four maps. Judgment is an entertaining shooter on many fronts, but a disappointing Gears of War game.

    Even though there are two new companies in charge of Halo Wars 2, this strategy game is an excellent sequel without any big revolutions. It might be a bit dull that way, but fans of the series will still enjoy this a lot.

    This game offers the same feel as the genius games of Relic Software, thanks to an amazing visual style and excellent audio. However, the controls, simple AI and framerate problems make this game pretty tough to thoroughly enjoy.

    This new version of L.A. Noire is like the original game, with a few tweaks. The graphics look excellent, but the story and repetitive gameplay are not amazing.

    Don’t Starve is a game for those who persevere. The infinitely playable survival RPG with an artsy appearance tests your endurance, but rewards players with a surprisingly unique experience.

    Road 96 tells a political story through short but intense adventures with fascinating characters. Your choices shape the story and that ambitious set-up works surprisingly well.

    Thanks to the new Focus-mode and some other new features Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 delivers once again as a great golfsim.
