    3D Dot Game Heroes is more than a three-dimensional remake of The Legend of Zelda. It's an obvious homage to the NES-classic, but brings its own flavour to the table. 3D Dot Game Heroes is the embodiment of retro gaming, in the present.

    Splinter Cell: Conviction is quite different from its predecessors. Less trial-and-error, more tactical and action based stealth. Sam Fisher became the ultimate killing machine in the renewal of the stealth genre.

    Monster Hunter Tri is the best game in the franchise. We love the underwater worlds and the game looks pretty good. It is also very good to see that Capcom dropped the annoying friendcodes, so that you can enjoy the online experience.

    WarioWare: Do It Yourself inspires you creatively and subsequently gives you a peek into the inner workings of a game. All of the mini-games will be designed by you, so it all depends of how creative you are. It's a shame then that the mini-games don't have the endless options they appear to have at first glance. Still WarioWare: Do It Yourself is an interesting experiment and a stepping stone for all future game developers.

    Rooms: The Main Building is a great puzzle game in an ugly coating. The puzzles are well put together and stay fresh because of the constant stream of new elements. It's too bad that the unclear images, ugly colours and downright annoying music takes away some of the fun.

    C&C4 is a slap in the face for longtime fans of the series. So many things have changed that it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. It tries to bring you the best of both worlds but it fails miserably on both sides.

    God of War III ends with a bang. The trilogy end contains pretty much everything that you’ve come to expect from the series with a few surprises along the way. We wish there were a little more titan battles but overall the story of Kratos gets a worthy ending.

    Final Fantasy XIII is a big and impressive adventure that manages to push the genre in the right direction. The characters, battle system and the story are all great.

    Yakuza 3 manages to stay loyal to its predecessors but also knows the same highs and lows. The story is interesting and complex but is of to a slow start and the best parts are most definitely the Yakuza boss fights. In the end Yakuza 3 is a game of traditions who in this modern age seem kind of dated.

    Silent Hunter 5 is another decent game in the series with a few problems here and there. Especially the incomplete tutorial, the loading times and the lack of polish in some area’s are annoying.

    Risen is a game that does nothing wrong, but at the same is not bringing something new either. The ambiance of the game is perfect and the story is very good and convincing. It’s too bad Risen is starting up slow and the graphics could have been better. This is a game made for RPG fans, people who don’t like RPG’s should probably focus on other games.
