    FTL: Faster Than Light for iPad is optimized for touch screens and plays like a dream. The Advanced Edition is a good addition and this, more expansive version of the game even plays better than its PC, Mac and Linux counterparts.

    MXGP is over excessive in its no-nonsense approach. It's a decent, even clinical racing game. It could've been way more exciting and outspoken; now it's a motocross-game without any spunk.

    The Elder Scrolls Online makes the fundamental mistake that most quests have been written as single player adventures. Other players disturb the illusion, instead of being the reason you'd want to keep playing. Good combat, very fun PvP and deep character development can't hide that ESO makes one too many compromises and estranges RPG- and MMO-lovers in the process.

    Reaper of Souls is actually the patch that fans have been waiting for since they first finished Diablo 3. Despite it only has one new chapter, it's been filled to the brim with cool new elements. Its trump card is Adventure Mode: a well executed remix of the existing content that makes replaying the levels feel fresh and useful.

    Burial at Sea Episode 2 is much better than Episode 1. The underdeveloped sneaking function now is a fully featured gameplay element. And where Episode 1 mostly addressed the Infinite-fans, Episode 2 turns out to be a hoot for lovers of the original BioShock.

    Boom Beach is a time management app with funny pictures and a light atmosphere. You can't call it a game though, because it lacks any fun, whatsoever. There are numerous good free-to-play games. Boom Beach isn't one of them.

    Monument Valley lures in all kinds of players with beautiful, artsy levels with a great game world. In that world M.C. Escher's laws of nature reign: floors are ceilings and walls are doors. Monument' Valley is a fairytale with perspective.

    The Collectables is a funny, light and free strategy game. You decide whether your want to cool down after a game, or want to spend a tack of gold to keep playing. With replayable missions Crytek rewards you with enough currency to just keep on going.

    Soda Drinker Pro! Is the best and most realistic simulation of drinking a soda. Ever. Do with that what you want.

    The game never dares to let you build bridges with any form of creativity. The way too fast introduction of all mechanics and little variety in level design, make this nothing more than an hour or two of standard puzzles.

    Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 lacks the variety to entertain for very long, or the depth to succeed as a simulator. It’s nothing more than a series of one note puzzles.

    Planting tomatoes. Be fastest! The makers of Farm Machines Championships 2014 know how to enthuse gamers. Because who wouldn’t want to plough their land as fast as possible, or slalom with their tractors? It misses the point completely unfortunately. So much so, that the ridiculous gameplay actually becomes kind of fun.

    Corporate Lifestyle Simulator is a funny little game for wage slaves who want to abreact after a boring day of work. The game is simple yet effective, but not very uplifting.

    We’ve had a good time with this goat and its bizarre physics and a longing for destruction, despite the countless bugs and scanty content. Lovers of goat simulators definitely should play Goat Simulator, because it’s the best one over made, without a doubt.

    Mercenary Kings is a decent game that approaches the action shooter genre in an original way. Some parts haven’t been executed on all that well though, which makes the game feel slow and boring at times.

    Age of wonders 3 perfectly simulates that one-more-click feeling. As an action packed turn based RPG it easily keeps you on the edge of your seat. This sensation is strengthened by a beautiful fantasy world and enormous battles. We’ve been struck with a case of national pride.

    The one solves puzzles, the other crimes. One is a civilized British gentleman, the other a somewhat dumb attorney. Both love pointing, getting proven right and justice. Not an obvious match, but a fun one.

    Second Son really provides that next-gen sensation with graphics, acting and action. A somewhat lackluster story and a lack of variety don't make Second Son less fun to play in any respect.

    Luftrausers is as much style as it is substance. The retro-appearance and spectacular action complement each other greatly in a hectic arcade shooter with a unique style. The tactical addictions make this a fully fledged game you'll want to keep playing.

    Metal Gear Solid reinvents itself in Ground Zeroes. The controls are tighter, the world bigger and Snake more adult. It's a great demo for The Phantom Pain, the real fifth installment. This game is overshadowed by its unsympathetic business model.

    Trolls vs. Vikings is a straight clone of Plant’s vs. Zombies, but that doesn’t spoil the fun. It splays nicely, is more challenging without payments and offer an interesting piece of Norrish folklore.

    A House Divided has the player making hard choices that greatly influence the story. Clementine is calling the shots in this episode, which feels good but also was a necessity for the dynamics in the series. The great balance between action and storytelling brings the series back up to its trusted and solid quality level.

    It’s pretty incredible how much fun Titanfall is, and how fresh it feels, because the shooter hardly introduces new elements and mostly scouts mapped terrain. Respawn Entertainment manages to combine depth and fun seamlessly. That said, Titanfall is one of the most important players in the shooter landscape. Just like that. Boom, headshot.

    Yoshi's New Island is the cheerful, solid platformer you'd expect it to be, but doesn't win an award for originality. New features and the gyroscope make for some variation, but because of the simple nature of the game, there's little reason to get everything out of it.

    You need to have at least tried Dark Souls 2, or you'll get nowhere. It pulls you into its depressing, brutal world and that feels like a homecoming to its masochistic fans. Still, everything is different. Only via trial by fire you'll discover as a player what the perfect balance is that From Software achieved with its forced changes.

    Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition is the zombie fest that got us hooked in 2010, but with better graphics and funny extras.

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

    Shapist takes a classic form of puzzles and gives it a modern spin. The puzzles are challenging and the distraction minimal, making this one of the purest puzzles games on iOS. This also makes it incredibly hard; it could’ve used some hints and tips.

    We’ve rarely had this much fun with a game as simple as Threes!. Everything about it just works, from the visual execution to the deep gameplay and funny sound effects. Hours become minutes with this game.

    The Stick of Truth is the best South Park-game ever played, a very fun game in and of itself and gives the franchise a new dimension. Something that only could’ve been done in game-form. It wouldn’t be Obsiadian Entertainment though, if it didn’t have two handfuls of technical issues and design flukes.
