    Starlink offers a refreshing view on toys-to-life with a lot more seriousness than its competitors. Its an expensive one though.

    EyePet: Move Edition has superior presentation. The way you have contact with your hairy pet is shown through funny acted movies. Especially younger players will really get the impressions a living, breathing animal is living in their television. They probably won't mind the not so precise controls.

    One of the most fun arcade games available for the Wii. The Brave and the Bold has fast action sequences, a big arsenal of weapons and unique moves for each superhero. The game pushes you to play on thanks to the open gameplay and humor, and the hand-drawn stop motion animation looks fantastic. The game is on the short side though and once you've finished it, there's nothing to come back to.

    Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition doesn’t differ much from the Xbox One version released last year, but it hasn’t lost any of its fun factor since then. A higher frame-rate and slightly better graphics offer some advantages, but the real value is in playing Dead Rising 3 cooperatively.

    Stardrive 2 is a pretty good turn-based science-fiction RTS. An extensive tutorial takes you away to a fantastic milky way where you are a galactic colonist. At times, this game does not seem to lead anywhere, but with AI that acts up and awesome but difficult battles, Stardrive 2 challenges you and your strategic side to the max.

    The Cave has become a special downloadable adventure which was obviously worked on with lots of love and care. The humor, clever game mechanics, fun puzzles and infallible visual presentation; anything you'd desire from an adventure-game can be found here. That makes it forgivable that the few hours of entertainment it initially offers contain a few minor errors.

    Eyepet delivers a cute and touchable critter right on your screen. But when the initial surprise is over, a very minimal game that lacks any form of challenge remains. The special features, like making your own drawings come to live in 3D, show that there is potential for much more in the future. At this moment though it's fun for children, but only if someone is there to solve the abundant control problems.

    Code Vein looks spectacular, but plays badly. Again it is clear that a soul borne needs a layered level design and a precisely thought out fighting system. Code Vein is okay in these areas, but it does not really leave the best impression.

    This new Ratchet & Clank-adventure uses funny weapons, happy science fiction and lots of shooting and jumping to present the first cooperative adventure of the couple. But it lacks the magic, inspiration and creativity of the previous games.

    The dates are the culmination of this strange, yet endearing and fresh combination between a dating sim and dungeon crawler. The battles and dungeons leave a lot to be desired, but the cheerfulness and fine characters stick with it the most.

    The campaign may be a little short and rough around the edges, but it still is a great adventure that should not be missed by the fans and should be given a try by people unknown with the Warhammer universe.

    As a motorcross game MX vs. ATV Untamed would have been nice to play. But the quality of the game has really been lowered by adding vehicles like buggies and monstertrucks. These could better have been removed from the game. When it comes to graphics this game can't cope with its competitors. It's a disappointing feeling to have a game in your possession which feels like an oldy.

    This is a fun combination of minigames focusing on sports. Despite the gameplay being a little shallow, the singleplayer mode does offer a lot of options by opening up various new mini-games. The multiplayer is even more fun. Don't be too careless with the stylus though, you can get some scratches on the touchscreen.

    New Little King's Story is, just like its predecessor on the Wii, a lot of light entertainment in a huggable coat. But don't let its appearance fool you. Once you get into building your kingdom, playing it will be hard to resist. It's the ultimate proof that the fresh ideas and concepts work. All the more unfortunate that technical issues affect this otherwise great game.

    It's cute, it's clever and it can be replayed a million times. Not fair that Europeans have to pay twice as much for this game as the Americans!

    Cities in Motion is an innovative and well thought through tycoon-game. By putting the focus on the managing of public transport in the cities, the game distinguishes itself from other tycoon-games. The concept has been worked out well as a whole, but the balance in gameplay could've used more refinement.

    Let's Tap doesn't offer a deep experience, but is still fun to play. It's an original and functional little game to play with your friends every now and then.

    Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is as strange as you'd expect it to be from reading the title. Although is offers decent platforming action, it effectively tries to prevent you from having fun with it in every way. Monotonous, illogical design choices and other annoying aspects make this rabbit jump to mediocre heights.

    A Fisherman's Tale is a very original adventure game with a few good puzzles. It is very charming and offers a good hint system to keep you from getting stuck.

    Lego Rock Band tries to cater to adults and kids, but in the end isn't too successful in that. While the game certainly looks fun for everyone thanks to the use of Lego, the choice of music certainly isn't for everyone and the lack in online options can be a deal breaker as well. It's still an enjoyable music game, but not very balanced.

    Minecraft Dungeons is a pretty cool but simple Diablo clone in Minecraft setting. Unfortunately the developers forgot to actually add those unique things we love about Minecraft.

    Hyrule Warriors Legends is like a remake of a GOTY edition. It has good additions when it comes to content and gameplay mechanics, but technically speaking Legends is a little disappointing.

    LEGO Jurassic World could have been a lazy, bungled game that had just been made to lift on the success of the movie. Thankfully that is not the case. The open world is a mess, but the LEGO-charm makes up for a lot of that.

    The most important part about being a samurai in a videogame is to cut hordes of enemies into tiny, bloody little pieces. The fighting system requires you to use your brain and offer a solid foundation but the imperfect controls and small bugs keep this game from being great.

    Jet Set Radio stands out with its style and personality instead of its gameplay. Although the game is relatively old, it spews out youthfulness, rebellion and fun. Unfortunately, there are a few things wrong with the game. When it comes to gameplay, Jet Set Radio is too unpolished to grab the critics amongst gamers. Jet Set Radio isn't for those who don't enjoy colorfulness, but more for those who enjoy a piece of chaotic art.

    Halo: Spartan Assault translates the Halo-franchise to a top-down mobile shooter successfully. The (touch sensitive) controls can be too complex and the game could lean less on micro transactions, but other than that Spartan Assault is the mobile game that Windows (Phone) 8 sorely missed.

    If the game would be sold for half the price it is being sold now, than it might be interesting for the non-Aerosmith fans.

    Looking for a game to kill some time with? Then Dumb Ways to Die is a fun solution. It’s quite charming and has a high pace. Unfortunately it gets repetitive fast, because there’s only twelve mini games.

    Doodle Kingdom doesn't have flashy graphics or nerve wracking flying maneuvers, but does have healthy puzzle fun for all ages. In Doodle Kingdom you'll find an expansive medieval world filled to the brim with known creatures and other fantasy elements.

    The Dutch Verdun offers a great representation of the First World War. You really feel like you are in the middle of the war, having to fight for your life. But the framerate issues, the limited number of maps and the progression system with its ups and downs cause so much frustration throughout the game, that it is really hard to stay focused on the war instead of the technical issues of the game.
