    Resident Evil Zero is a classic, but it hasn’t aged very well at all. So it’s a strange choice for Capcom to add nothing worth mentioning to this second release, not even motion control. If you already have this game, there’s no reason for you to buy it again, and if you haven’t played it yet, it’s hard to recommend.

    As the official game for the rally world championships, WRC 5 offers a real experience thanks to smooth driving and a good setup of the game. It is a let-down that the game sells short when it comes to the technical bits.

    Superstars V8 Racing isn't a game for veteran race fans but it drives well enough to please casual gamers. The game is however light on modes and the intelligence of your opponents is poor.

    Though Agents of Mayhem has a slow start, the game gets very entertaining along the way, thanks to the non stop action, variation in characters and controls. The story and the jokes are pretty lame though.

    A free game is never a bad thing, but another disappointing Need for Speed-game is. After the success that was Need for Speed Shift we hoped for a great comeback, but now it seems to wait a little big longer. The idea behind Need for Speed World is great, the final product isn't.

    For carlovers, Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends is a treat. Never before have Ferrari's looked, sounded and drove more true to life in a video game. It's too bad that this powerful experience isn't complimented with solid execution and a layer of polish. The mediocre main mode is an example of that. Everyone who seriously wants to race, should look for their fix elsewhere.

    War of the Vikings is the typical example of the type of game that Paradox publishes from the assembly line. The idea is kind of cool, but due to too many mistakes and bugs it isn't distinctive enough.

    The action in Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is weak, without impact and uninteresting. Not very fortunate when the game revolves around action. The game can be played through in just about four hours.

    No matter how you look at it: Dangerous Driving is a worthy new Burnout game. Okay, maybe the name is different and maybe it all feels a bit cheaper than you are used to. If you accept that though, you will have a great time.

    The concept behind Mario Sports Superstars seems solid, but none of the sports offers the depth we would expect from playing the bigger separate sports games. Mario Sports Superstars does many things, but does not really shine at anything.

    Thanks to the surrealistic atmosphere and visual style this game is very charming. The story the game is trying to tell is not really clear, which makes the game unnecessarily difficult. The puzzles are simply not logical and the hints are simply evil.

    Disintegration is built on a fantastic idea, but falls apart because of the lousy execution. With a generic appearance and mediocre gameplay, it is not very appealing, which is also evident as you can hardly find a match.

    Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock is a heavy, challenging adventure game. When it comes to puzzles, you are thrown in at the deep end completely, as there are rarely any hints. The result is a pure point-and-click experience that both rewards and frustrates.

    Poképark Wii Pikachu's Adventure is a disappointment. Instead of an adventure you receive a never ending stream of tedious chores. The variety of attractions that are unlocked make the game bearable, but nothing more than that.

    Concord feels like a game that was made when Overwatch was just getting popular, but never kept up with any development in the industry. The action is decent, but a lack of good content, personality, and unique ideas do the game in.

    Planetary Annihilation has layers upon layers of features that push the RTS-genre to the next level. The problem is: these revolutionary features are so well hidden that half of the players won’t even find them. There are also some crucial parts missing. The game remains playable, but less of a high quality product as we had hoped.

    Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters is a game in which you can really have some fun. A nice story with even Dutch voices. The gameplay even works with the many upgrades and tactics. Quite addictive actually. Unfortunately the game doesn't stand on it's own. The four earlier games of the Ratchet & Clank series are better and even cheaper. It's better to buy those than put 55 euros down for this latest game.

    Legend of Kay Anniversary does not have the charm of Jack and Daxter nor the quality of Ratchet & Clank, but after ten years it still is a fun platform game. The sword fights are quick, challenging and pretty deep, but in some ways Legend of Kay is old-fashioned.

    Baseball Riot is a fun little puzzle game that is nice for a while. After that, it gets so repetitive and frustrating, that it just does not do it for us.

    Outward is an ambitious open-world game with its heart in the right place, but it is not better than its competitors. The biggest problem though is that the world is simply not interesting enough to really explore.

    We Happy Few offers an interesting story and an attractive style. It is too bad collecting and crafting is so frustrating and fights are not very satisfying either. It's not a bad game, but it could have been so much more.

    Outdated graphics, exploding heads and nazi zombies; this co-op zombie shooter is a straightforward game without any distractions. One sniper and three friends equal shallow entertainment in this game.

    Dead Island: Riptide can't really justify its own existence. It has the potential of being a great zombie action game, but the slow pace, many technical problems and the meaningless missions make it a frustrating mess. These are the same problems the first game dealt with, and they haven't been resolved.

    Where Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey brings something fresh to the table in a crowded genre of WWII-flying games, in no small thanks to its realism, Heroes over Europe doesn't. Adding the Ace Kill doesn't change anything about the blandness of this title. Heroes over Europe needs a change fast before people stop caring.

    Shrek: Forever After is a mediocre licensed title which tries to distinguish itself with cooperative play, but does not succeed to do that in an interesting way.

    Indie-game Pineapple Smash Crew tries to be a bit too old-school, and therefore lacks innovation and an interesting or challenging gameplay experience.

    Etherium is a solid science-fiction RTS. It does not bring a lot of new things to the table, but it still is very entertaining. The tutorial is a bit short, we miss depth in this game and the design is not always as smooth as we would have liked. But, this games holds our attention for way longer than we would have expected. Etherium is highly addictive because of its high difficulty level and strategy elements.

    The quirky weapons of Fuse are the main subject of the game and make for a nice dynamic. It never really transcends that initial moment of charm though, due to a lack of ambition. You’ll probably forget Fuse before even finishing it. Who would have expected that from a game by Insomiac?

    SimCity Societies with its expansion Destinations doesn't offer you enough new stuff to keep you going. This title seems to be aimed at people who love the Sims series, because it uses elements from that game as well. Be warned, this game is very repetitive. The essence of the series seems to be lost.
