    This independent game is a creative jewel, so motivating and full of love for details, that it puts multi-million-dollar-games to shame. Braid shows how to create an amazing game using the right ideas.

    Currently the best way to play The Last of Us 2. Although the roguelike mode disappoints in the long run.

    Even on PC and with mouse and keyboard, Ragnarök is an action-packed thriller with an insanely captivating story.

    Even eight years after release for consoles this is still a great action-rich spectacle which no fan of pc fighting games should miss.

    The well-made port offers subtle improvements and clean PC controls, but is lacking in terms of reflections and SDR lighting.

    Human Revolution is a typical sneak & shoot game, everything else is just eye candy. But that's quite nice for a change, too.

    The fact that I delivered this test on time for the deadline is close to a miracle. After all, I had to stop playing Into the Breach to write about it. It's been a long time since I've had such a difficult time putting a game down.

    The basics are still the same, but GTA 4 is a masterpiece. The game world created by Rockstar North is simply amazing. The shootings, radio, TV, the story and the characters create more than just a sandbox game. It's almost a parallel world.

    Shogun 2 takes the series back to its roots and got rid of a lot of complicated and confusing details. Now it's possible to concentrate on the really important tasks again: battles, ruling the country and cursing.

    Empire: Total War still has some teething problems, but the latest installment of the Total War series is its best one nonetheless. The game takes place in the 18th century with eleven playable countries. As usual, you govern you country and move your armies on the strategy map, while battles are fought in real-time, including sea battles. If you like strategy games, you need to play Empire: Total War.

    Lots of content, full of variety and extremely will written. This is a well-done add-on for a low price.

    That's the way remakes should be. The new edition of Resident Evil 2 transports the horror classic of 1998 with stylish graphics and top technology into the modern age.

    Neon White has perfected its simple and unique shooter concept. It won't win any awards for its story.

    Successful trip to Hawaii with few, but enough new features that proves the Yakuza concept also works outside Japan, especially for fans.

    It's better than Dark Souls 2, weaker than the first one: it's a good completion to the trilogy, but it doesn't create new milestones.

    It's an RPG with a soul. Every little detail of it. Obsidian didn't just deliver what they promised, they built a bridge between the past and the present. It may be just one add-on away from being the best RPG ever released.

    It's a playable zombie movie. Would you like to hunt down the infected or rather rip human flesh to shreds? What may look like a simple shooter turns out to be very challenging, scary and a lot of fun. The game may be short, but with great replay value and different ways to play like versus mode or co-op mode.

    On the one hand, this could have been a less expensive DLC for Left 4 Dead, just like it was done for Team Fortress 2. On the other hand, we don’t really care, once we’ve chocked someone to death as a Smoker or hit someone with our fist as a Charger. That’s only possible in Left 4 Dead 2.
