    Bizarre Creations delivers a different kind of shooter that will attract a specific kind of gamer. The boring setting and combo-system don't bring this game to the absolute top, but the addicting gameplay makes up a lot. If they put more effort in a possible sequel, it might become a classic in this new subgenre.

    There is an amazing roguelike hidden in Flinthook, but there are simply too many annoying things about it. The design is simply brutal, too brutal for anyone to really enjoy this game.

    Ultra is a unbalanced collection of different games that look and feel enough like one big game, but they don’t offer the variety to make it feel refreshing. This is just a standard Kirby-game that isn’t any better than the previous game, Mouse Attack.

    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.

    Owners of the first part better hold on to their money and buy songs they really like in the SingStore.

    Ever Oasis is a fun action RPG that successfully combines mechanics from Animal Crossing and Zelda. It's loads of fun to go through all the dungeons and it is a great way to spend your summer vacation.

    Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon is a game with a decent concept what eventually shows up in the storyline and gameplay. However, the downside of this all is the poorly translation and the somewhat disappointing graphics. In al fairness a pretty decent game, but never rises above the average spin-off game.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human makes freerunning more fun and creative. By providing more control, main and side quests are surprisingly engaging and deep. The characters come out well through excellent writing and voice work and the player is repeatedly brought into conflict by the many choices that really have an impact on the story. The beautiful Villedor is ideal for endless freerun fun, with or without friends.

    Bombslinger is a nice combination of Bomberman and The Binding of Isaac. But, contrary to the latter, you will be done with Bombslinger in a few hours.

    At last: a console version of The Sims without a crappy control scheme. The Sims 3 may be not as extensive and flawless as the PC version, but is still a nice translation of the original concept that made The Sims great in the first place.

    Finally here is a game that can put you in a gamers trance again. Without thinking about it you can guide your character past obstacles and entire levels. It takes a perfectly balanced game to achieve this, and that's exactly what Bit.Trip Runner is. This is the purest platformer we've played in a very long time.

    Mayday! Deep Space is an unique way of telling a science-fiction mystery. The combination of excellent voice-acting and the controls work good together, but it also results in a game feeling limited: the gameplay is minimal and the game is too short.

    Rivals takes Most Wanted's open world and blends that with the open roads and landscapes of Hot Pursuit, with a paradise filled with distractions and dangers. The seamless transition between single- and multiplayer it so that another player can challenge of help you in every event. Rivals guarantees a continuous sense of excitement and sensation with great controls and a relentless sense of speed.

    Toy Story 3 is a fun licensed game. It's never really excellent, but the overall experience is just fun thanks to the variation and co-op mode.

    Rhythm Thief is a nice rhythm game. Especially the anime-ish style and variation in rhythm driven mini games worked out well. The lame puzzles and slow pace of the adventures themselves however, make Rhythm Thief miss the allure of other games like Elite Beat agents, Professor Layton or Rhythm Heaven.

    LawBreakers wants to be known for its gravity changes in arenas, yet it is mainly known for building a bridge between classic arena shooters and the new hero shooters of today. It's too bad LawBreakers does not have the content or style to really impress.

    Kingdom Come Deliverance is an ambitious and unique role playing game that has a lot of things to improve on. The middle ages are very real and there is lots of freedom, but the bugs and the story are in the way of this being an instant classic.

    Shadowrun Returns is precisely what it promised to be on Kickstarter: a game that harkens back to the olden days, with HD resolution. Especially older gamers will find nostalgia and fun in this world, expanded by the level editor. For the younger audience the old fashioned imperfections might be too disruptive, but every RPG fan who loves Blade Runner should give Shadowrun Returns a shot.

    The land of Oros is beautiful and full of life. That entertainment does not reach very far though, because human enemies can hardly be found and the story is a disappointment. Far Cry Primal offers the same action as its predecessors: an awesome feeling of hunting but gameplay that does not feel new.

    Unlike a lot of other console shooters, Section 8: prejudice offers the possibility to play matches of 16 versus 16 players. With this option the game fills a hole in the market. Aside from that, the gameplay just works and every game varies from the other due to the addition of Dynamic Combat Missions alongside the standard assignments.

    Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is difficult, but don't let that get the best of you. It offers a brilliant combination of stealth and turn-based tactics to challenge you. The story could have been better though.

    Twelve Minutes is an indie game that has been eagerly anticipated for years, mainly due to its unique concept. A man is stuck in a twelve-minute time loop and it's up to you to adjust little things and steer events in a different direction. In practice, that idea appears to lend itself less well to a game than hoped.

    Shattered Dimensions is without a doubt the best Spider-Man-game since Spider Man 2. The level design is varied, but the game is very linear and the lack of big differences between the dimensions keep this game from being truly great.

    Super Mario Run looks and feels like a solid 2D Mario game, but it offers a new way of taking control of Mario. At first it is frustrating, but eventually the game offers surprisingly deep gameplay.

    Rise of the Ronin is bursting with ambition: it wants to tell an important moment in Japanese history in a compelling way in an open game world in which you can lose yourself endlessly. Unfortunately, this does not always work out well and the game feels messy and colorless. Fortunately, Team Ninja's excellent combat saves the day with razor-sharp precision and memorable fights.

    Surviving Mars is a pretty laid-back game with moments of chaos, that feels very nice when your colony is doing what it should. It is easy to learn, hard to master and those are the ones we love the most.

    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.

    Carrion is at its best when you slide smoothly through the puzzles and when the visual storytelling gives you little bits of plot. The game has some nice ideas, of which the fact that you play as a human-devouring monster is the most unique, but it certainly does not end in Devolver's best game.

    One of the most entertaining licensed games of recent times, without it being innovative. The gameplay is decent and diverse and the graphics are good for a product like this. It’s a little on the short side, but if you enjoyed the movie you’ll have a hard time not enjoying this colorful action game.

    Colorful, humorous and mostly fun to play: Garden Warfare is unexpectedly a multiplayer shooter that can easily live besides Titanfall on Microsoft’s console.
