    Star Wars Battlefront offers a lot of cool moments, gives you that warm fuzzy Star Wars feeling and is pure perfection when it comes to visuals and sound effects. However, the fact that there is not much depth to it, nor a lot of content, makes Battlefront a smaller game than we were hoping for.

    Supreme Commander 2 shows that RTS-games can work on a console. The graphics aren’t on par with the PC-version, but in exchange you get an overall smooth experience. It’s a shame that the already empty multiplayer can’t compensate for the short and easy singleplayer on the Xbox 360, because an AI just can’t replace human competition.

    Making a shooter for the DS: it’s not an easy task. Mobilized is a fairly enjoyable go at the genre on the handheld that impresses technically. Even the controls work. Still, it begs the question: who wants to play this game on the DS if you can play it on a big screen at home?

    Kirby Star Allies is pretty straightforward as a platformer, but it offers that sweet Kirby world. It is too bad the game is very short and the difficulty level is way too low.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us is a typical Netherrealm Studios-game, but not their best. Fighting fanatics will know that this isn't as well done as 2011's Mortal Kombat, but Injustice doesn't rest solely on its fighting system. The true pillars consist of well-known superheroes from the DC-universe, with their absurd powers and a sympathetic amount of fan-service.

    Divinity 2 is an RPG but it isn’t particularly long or blessed with a big game world. The way you can turn into a dragon makes up for it in a lot of ways, though, and the ability to read someone else’s thoughts adds some life in the boring quests. For people who want to play an RPG but don’t have the time to play through a massive adventure, Divinity 2 is a decent option.

    Impact Winter is an original survival game. It is not an excellent game, which is mainly due to its repetitiveness. We do like the addition of the clock running backwards.

    Frontlines: Fuel of War is a decent shooter in single player and an enjoyable game when it comes to multiplayer. On the other hand we can't take away the impression that both single and multiplayer didn't get enough attention, which makes it clear that this game didn't reach it's full potential.

    The world of Pandora offers enormous potential for a video game, and Massive Entertainment has fully exploited that potential with an open game world characterized by fantastic natural environments and stunning details. Unfortunately, the hackneyed missions and shallow combat get in the way of a truly compelling open-world adventure, making the game feel like a mediocre copy of Far Cry in terms of gameplay.

    Just Dance 2 is exactly like the first game, but with added modes in multiplayer, new music and some flashy looks. The new modes are a bit cheap to be honest, but fans of dancing won't care: it's all about the fun you get while dancing and this is where Just Dance 2 excels.

    Army of Two: The 40th Day doesn’t hide that it's all about the cooperative game mode. But for a purely cooperative game, it is quite low on content. The other game modes might be decent, but have been done better by other games many times before. Army of Two: The 40th Day could have been the ultimate cooperative game, but failed because it wanted to be everything else as well.

    A modest effort in bringing the franchise to the DS. The fighting system works fine and it's fun to build your character. The story actually feels like part of the complete picture told by all games, a big plus for a handheld game. But the quality of the original is never reached. The missions are a bit too repetitive and the camera irritates.

    They managed to make a nice sequel to one of the better titles of the Sega Saturn. It looks great and the end battles are a joy to play. Too bad it's so short.

    Who gets grumpy from the sound of screaming birds, can skip Angry Birds Star Wars without thinking twice. The base of the game remains unchanged, but its looks have been altered. Whoever perfected previous Angry Birds-games and started showing symptoms of withdrawal, can prepare himself for fun game-nights with pigs and birds from a galaxy far, far away.

    Calling Undertale a strange game would be wrong. The story is bizarre, the characters are fun and the scenes are funny. Plus, this RPG can be very surprising. The problem Undertale is struggling with is that you do not really have the power to influence the story at all and there are a lot of long fights you have to get through to see everything this game has to offer.

    Virtua Tennis feels like a decent tennis-game. It, however, will never feel like a revolution due to the lack of new gameplay elements. Even though Sega has put in some nice and entertaining, but very small, adjustments. Virtua tennis has easily reached its full potential.

    Race On is one of the best simulation racers, but Simbin should take a good look at their series and perhaps breathe some new life in it. There’s little change here and the game could use the option to damage your cars.

    Infinite Warfare is a good game, but certainly not the best shooter of this fall.

    Resident Evil 5 starts with bang. An original setting and zombies that are just waiting to get shot are a perfect start. But a soon as your surroundings changes from a beautiful African landscape to dark and boring industrial complex, the gameplay turns a bit sour and transforms into a standard action game. An action game with the limitations of the horror genre. Resident Evil fans are probably dying to know how the story unfolds, but gamers with little knowledge of the previous games will find it nothing more than an average action game.

    We can recommend Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans to both Dragon Ball-fans and RPG-enthusiasts. The story is well told, the turn-based fighting system is top notch and the ability to customize your characters on many levels is a great addition. You do however need to take the slow pace of the game and a vast amount of text for granted, because the game never powers up to its true potential.

    Cat Cafe Manager keeps it simple, allowing everyone to enjoy the cute cats and light management tasks. Still, the game slowly becomes more complex and satisfying, but it also gets a bit more out of balance.

    After Far Cry and Crysis, developer Crytek created a mobile game, in which players control marble-like, cute aliens, by rolling them through levels. A revolution? No, but a nice diversion from 'the real deal'.

    Riptide GP: Renegade is fine, but it is a bit of a boring variety of Hydro Thunder. The water racer offers a cool single-player, but especially co-op is really awesome in Riptide GP: Renegade.

    Lego Indiana Jones 2 searches for balance between all the previous Lego-games and the new elements introduced in this game. But the game never really feels like a classic. The Lego Creator, however, is fantastic. You can build whatever you want and that makes us very happy.

    We are happy to see another game on PSVR that is truly worth being called a game. The controls could have been better, but even like this Arizona Sunshine is great.

    Pac-Man 256 is another smart twist of the classic. The game is very entertaining, and that is all thanks to Pac-Man being a timeless classic, but also because of the randomly generated mazes. Especially good for short sessions.

    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.

    People who missed Kirby's Return to Dream Land in 2011 would do well to get this revised version. Creative level design and new content such as an extensive post-game are more than enough reasons to put a smile on the face of you and your companions.

    Either you really love Formula 1 or you like the fastest type of racing on our planet to love this new official game from Codemasters. F1 2015 is a nice drive and it has a good atmosphere, but it misses depth and a good finish to really impress.
