The Bug Butcher is more than just slaughtering bugs (which is already pretty awesome). The funny style, the many explosions and the twist of only being able to shoot upwards are all fantastic. This is a real arcade game: you play it over and over and over...

NBA 2K18 offers many improvements, but it is not better than the last NBA 2K. Especially the many micro transactions, long loading times and the boring story make this very entertaining game a lot less good than we've expected.

Looking for a Switch game to play with friends? Snipperclips is a great choice. Please do play this with other people and not alone, cause the charm is in working together.

The Banner Saga might not be for everyone, but it sure is drenched in craftsmanship. When the story and characters get a hold of you, an experience starts that you’ll remember for years to come, even though it has a rough edge.

Tiger Woods 10 is a good golf game. It has some nice enhancements in the gameplay area, such as the precision putting and the addition of the US Open-course.

Yakuza Kiwami is a great remake, but it is not amazing. Even for a Yakuza game it gets very repetitive and it simply does not have the same quality as the other games. A bit of an anticlimax.

Blood & Truth offers a great story and pretty intense action. However, the controls are just not comfortable enough to really make this THE PSVR must-have.

BoxBoxBoy has the exact same charm, style and pace as its predecessor. The extra boxes to stack are a game changer, but for experienced Boxboy players it is just a matter of getting used to. Unfortunately it is not very challenging.

Wii Sports Resort is more then a fun collection of sports, which are great to play together. Baseball, swordfight and table tennis are great games, but jet ski is less fun. Wii Motionplus is a great addition, and the game will last for hours if you play it together with friends. Are you a single player type of gamer? Then the game will get boring over time!

The Chronicles of Riddick: AODA tries to combine several genres into one single game. The result: an average game with nothing but mediocre aspects. Vin Diesel's presence and the Riddick-license make the game enjoyable nonetheless and additional to the Assault on Dark Athena campaign, there is a full next-gen version of the original Escape from Butcher Bay game. Sadly though, this remake does not live up to modern day standards.

Is this your first Pokémon game? Welcome! You will immediately feel at home, because the game takes you through the region by hand. There may not be a lot to do, but you do get to know the gameplay and Pokémon in an accessible way and you can immediately experiment with remarkable typing combinations.

When it comes to the campaign, multiplayer and technique, Modern Warfare is a huge improvement. The game is not perfect, but it brings Call of Duty back to the golden days of the franchise.

The first hours in Elite: Dangerous are a totally new experience for newcomers in the space sim genre. But, when the freshness fades, the only thing that is left is some kind of mmo with flaws. That being said, the flying and the space fights are very entertaining.

Because of its lacking controls Vice City isn't as good as it was ten years ago. Which is a shame as Vice City has no equal when it comes to style and atmosphere.

IL-2 Sturmovik is the most realistic flight-simulator on the consoles. Although it misses some appeal of a top-game, it has very profoundly controls and beautiful graphics. Give this game a shot if you’re a hardcore simulation fan or if you just like to see old planes.

It takes six hours for God of War: Ascension to get going, which is a long time. Fortunately the spectacular final set piece manages to save the game. Because of this crooked balance, and a long line of minor mistakes, this is the lesser of the God of War games currently available. It feels like the typical God of War-formula was saved for the multiplayer, which is surprisingly fun. The combat system is well balanced and every map has a typical God of War-surprise in place for players. This makes Ascension a Pandora's box of sorts, with the unnecessary choices on top, covering hope.

This is the best episode of Life is Strange thus far, because the relaxed atmosphere is changing in a more enticing game in which Max's gift is becoming more and more powerful. The relationship with Chloe gets way more important, and that brings a lot of emotional involvement.

Darkstalkers Resurrection offers a nice opportunity for the lovers of hardcore fighting games to jump into something else, with all sorts of modern comforts that we’ve come to expect. It also offers a lot for the rookie fighter who wants to improve but can’t find himself in the current offerings of street fighters, iron fists and comic book characters. The learning curve could’ve been evened out a bit more, but it is tough to actually get caught up in it. It’s just too awesome for that to happen.

LEGO Dimensions is a bizarre spectacle. It is weird and amazing to see well-known franchises come together, but at the same time this game is full of contradictions. The portal and LEGO figurines are perfect, but the gameplay has the same instability we are accustomed to in this franchise. Thankfully LEGO is one of the best toys to come to life, so TT is definitely going in the right direction with Dimensions.

The Sly Trilogy is a very strong collection. The games have had a nice wax and are still very fun. The second part is the absolute high point in this trilogy and the other two are most definitely still worth playing.

Are Pokémon Black and White 2 just as impressive as other Pokémon games? No. Can you enjoy the games just as much as any other Pokémon game? Yes! Pokémon Black and White 2 are refined versions of the first Pokémon Black and White games that offers enough new content to keep you entertained for forty, sixty or even a hundred hours of Pokéfun. Just don't expect any revolutionary changes.

Is this your first Pokémon game? Welcome! You will immediately feel at home, because the game takes you through the region by hand. There may not be a lot to do, but you do get to know the gameplay and Pokémon in an accessible way and you can immediately experiment with remarkable typing combinations.

What Skate 3 does, it does it good. It is better than the second installment and brings some interesting online modes.

Puppeteer is a rare experience that shouldn't be missed. The gameplay is very varied and the changing of decor prevents boredom from setting in. No matter how young or old you are, there's something for everyone in this magical and beautifully animated world.

Metro Exodus is rough and raw, but at the same time it's atmospheric, tensive and extremely thrilling. If you have no problem with some technical let-downs and weak voice acting, you will have a blast.

Quotation forthcoming.

400 Days is a good standalone episode which introduces new characters in a short amount of time and creates situations which have you make very tough decisions, again and again. None of the stories even comes close to that of Lee and Clementine, but it definitely is a strong and unique episode.

After seven years of waiting Company of Heroes 2 doesn't disappoint. The great gameplay like we know it from he series, doesn't give way and only gets more intense thanks to the wintery weather and TrueSight. It's a shame though that the story lacks impact and the AI has a few hiccups. Still, Company of Heroes 2 is a fantastic game that guarantees more than enough strategic pleasure.

Rime is a surprisingly strong game filled with fun puzzles and platform moments. There are some framedrops, but that can't rain on this six hour parade.

Finally the first full adventure making use of Wii MotionPlus. Red Steel seems to breathe quality and is surprisingly deep. This is what action games should have been on the Wii since the beginning.

For fans of 90's icons it is great to see Crash again. This trilogy respects history while adding a few minor improvements. Great fun, it brings you back to twenty years ago.

Wii Fit Plus finds a way to tweak the Wii Fit’s formula a little closer to perfection. The new options guarantee that you’ll be spending a bit more time with both your feet on the Balance Board and the controller firmly gripped in your hand. It’s not a real game in any form but it is a unique way for getting a bit in shape.

The charm of the Skylanders is still present in Skylanders: Giants. The synergy between the kiddy exterior and the grown-up gameplay is incredibly well done. Even though the tempo of the game may sometimes drop and you'll probably end up spending way more than a normal game, don't change the fact that Skylanders: Giants is one of the most fun family games of 2012.

The original was a strong game, but PlayStation 4 takes things to the next level by giving us more variation. The surroundings are huge and full of personality, there are plenty missions and Kats movement has gotten way better. Too bad the controls are still frustrating.

Is this your first Pokémon game? Welcome! You will immediately feel at home, because the game takes you through the region by hand. There may not be a lot to do, but you do get to know the gameplay and Pokémon in an accessible way and you can immediately experiment with remarkable typing combinations.

When it comes to realism, Rivals is no match for its competition, but when it comes to sheer fun it absolutely delivers. It's fun to build a racers career, even if the police corps is just a little too powerful. The unsure existence as a racer has its charms and can be more tense. Whatever you play as: play online! Actual players are always more interesting as competitors.

Pokémon Conquest is a successful experiment. The game successfully approaches the age-old concept of Pokémon in a new and unique way. Even though the game may seem simple at first, it soon turns out to be a game for aspiring tactical minds.

Grim Fandango Remastered is a successful attempt to make one of the best games ever playable on current gen PCs and consoles. But that is about all, as the improvements on the source material are minimal: the reason to buy this game is only because of the comments of the makers and the big collection of artwork.

It’s more style than substance, but that isn’t a bad thing. However, Platinum Games hasn’t fully embraced this fact and tried to bring a serious story with depth to the table. In which it failed miserably. The game is pure action: a hack and slash game you’ll have to memorize to master. The Blade Mode is a great addition to the series, but the parry system isn’t quite as memorable. The total package, however, is a game that belongs to the top of its class, mainly thanks to the great art style and the brutal, yet amazing music.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is more then a nicely worked-out fighting game. The graphics are great and the total look is neat. The modes of the game aren’t in line with the rest of the game, the “Gauntlet-mode” for instance. We can’t believe that the developers think of this as a mode that’s fun to play. The nicely worked-out fighting system, the short loading periods and the ability to customize a gigantic load of character’s made our day while playing this game.

It is very obvious these games are made for a new generation of trainers. The Pokemon Go way of catching Pokemon is very successful, and the small changes to the beautifully crafted Kanto region are revolutionary. It is just a bit too simple for experienced Pokemon players.

It's minimalistic style and simple concept entertains us level after level. In all it s simplicity, BoxBoy's key characters surprises us with his charm. We would have liked the learning curve to be a little bit more steep.

Lego City: Undercover is, like most Lego-games, a perfectly good game for all ages. Especially the older gamer will appreciate the subtle references to many games and movies, although you’ll have to consider whether the kiddy style of the game is for you. If it is, you’ll have a game that you will enjoy longer than the time you spent playing with your Lego-city, which currently resides in your attic.

A House Divided sees Clementine's new group finally developing a little bit. It does the episode some favors. It focuses more on what makes The Walking Dead so great: conversations and confrontations. After this second episode you'll have made enough choices to affect the rest of the season.

We really enjoyed Kirby Triple Deluxe, even though it only kept us entertained for six hours. It's pretty and charming and has a few fun extra background puzzles. It's just a shame that it's so very easy.

Not only the best inFamous game yet, it's also one of the best PlayStation 4 games you can get right now. Newcomers won't miss a thing thanks to the introduction of hero Delsin Rowe, and they get four powers instead of one this time around. inFamous: Second Son is a joy to play.

Guitar Hero Live is the comeback the franchise needed. FMV is used well and the original way of letting you play two hundred songs of free DLC is great. It is a pity though that it does not really feel like you are playing the songs yourself.

You can make a great beat with a bunch of simple functions through the Live Play-mode, but you can also make great tracks in de Studio mode. The program offers a variety of possibilities to go very deep in the game, but seeks out the competition with the computer-software at that point. And if I have to choose between a PSP game or a computer program I choose to make my tracks on a computer for that use.

This game looks new, but behind that pretty face you will find the exact same game as last year. It does have an improved scouting system which makes this a solid football management sim, but we are not a fan of the odd design choices.

The Division is more RPG than shooter, but on both parts it is a lot better than expected. At the end of the game, after reaching the level cap (30), the amount of content gets a bit small, but that does not mean we want to stop playing this great game.

Downwell is a super quick, complex and challenging game that makes you experience the descend anew every time. Don't play the iOS version, go for the controller.

Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a collection of almost fifty games. Most of them are well worth playing. The nostalgic feeling is great and a lot of bonus material can be unlocked. The only two downsides are that none of the games has an online multiplayer and that half of the games are already downloadable.

Although the ending is far from perfect, Burial at Sea Episode 2 finishes the whole series neatly. From open questions to small plotholes from the previous games: nearly everything gets an answer. Episode 2 doesn’t just tell an amazing story, but it also enriches your experiences with infinite and even the Original BioShock. This is how a series like this should be concluded.

All That Remains isn't the best episode in the series, but it does give hope for whatever Telltale has in store for us. Needless to say we can't wait until we can play the next episode.

Call of Pripyat is one of those game that people just seem to miss. It’s incredibly moody and an intents experience. S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat is what Shadow of Chernobyl should have been.

Total War: Attila is a lot like Rome 2, but it adds a few fun new elements like nomadic tribes. The political defense system can be seen as a nice add on as well. Too bad this game makes you wait, a lot.

Ubisoft has succeeded in creating the ultimate Naruto-game. The Broken Bond builds upon the foundation of the first game, and retains the open world and strong audiovisual presentation. Story wise the game is both more intense and lengthy then its predecessor, making The Broken Bond the best Naruto-game to date.

What Skate 3 does, it does it good. It is better than the second installment and brings some interesting online modes.

The first three parts of Shadow of War are very enjoyable. The game is like its predecessor, but better. There is a lot more story to enjoy and the locations are a lot more interesting. The best part is the improved Nemesis system which fits a lot better in the game now.

Forza Motorsport 5 is an ode to motorsport. Car lovers can drool over many detailed and dashing rides, that sound and drive greatly. It holds players back with a number of cars locked behind micro transactions though, as well as not having enough tracks.

Hitman: Absolution reaches out to a broader audience with some new features, but manages to stay true to its nature. Some new features, like badly placed checkpoints and mission structure, sometimes ruin the game, but the mission offers an amazing amount of killing options you'll be surprised in a positive way more often than in a negative.

The New Order isn't the best shooter you'll ever play, but this doesn't matter: it doesn't try to be excellent. This is 'just' a classic shooter, meant for everyone who wants to hunt nazis with heavy machine guns. That's what Wolfenstein: The New Order is all about; nothing more and nothing less. We won't say 'nein, nein, nein!' to that!

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.

It is the fighting in particular that makes Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order such an entertaining adventure. The somewhat uninspired story and bugs will sometimes cause some irritation, but thanks to the beautiful worlds, your friend BD-1 and the many hours of waving around with lightsabers, this game is definitely worthy of the "Star Wars" designation.

There is a whole lot of potential inside Scribblenauts, but the game never fulfills its promise to the fullest. It is an incredible achievement that you can come up with countless solutions to the different puzzles, but the poor way Maxwell responds to your commands frequently ruins your creative solutions. Therefore, you will only enjoy the game when you accept the fact that frustration and creativity are inseparable in Scribblenauts.

Under the bonnet Need for Speed: Most Wanted offers a complete experience. A big city to race in and the original progression system lets you drive a lot of different cars. Autolog and Easydrive also make sure the next race is never far away. It does, however, takes necessary practice and concentration to get the very precise steering under control and the low resolution oncoming traffic will make you crash every now and again. Despite its faults Need for Speed: Most Wanted is the best and most complete race game for the Vita so far.

Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a collection of almost fifty games. Most of them are well worth playing. The nostalgic feeling is great and a lot of bonus material can be unlocked. The only two downsides are that none of the games has an online multiplayer and that half of the games are already downloadable.

This game is filled with fan-service, though the game does not offer the exact same depth we know from the series. Thankfully the videogame itself is a lot of fun and will keep you laughing for many hours.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is an entertaining game. It is obviously created for children, but still contains all the elements you'd like to see in a Batman game. Especially the puzzles are well crafted and will make sure you'll never be doing the same thing for five minutes. The only downside are the problems with the multiplayer, but that slight hiccup doesn't stop this being the best Lego game to date.

The Touryst is a fun day out, but ultimately not much more than that. The game is a bit short and manages to evoke quite a bit of irritation due to the sometimes very annoying (optional) mini-games.

Tropico 3 is a difficult, but never an unfair game. Is your financial plan in order, then the political problems will rise on the table, and vice verse. You can never rest and stay on guard for new problems to solve. Before you can solve every problem in the right way you might be a couple of games further. That’s also because of misplaced buttons and options. It is a little downfall on the ‘build your paradise’ game that despite of those small problems, shines like a tropical sun on a usually bright day in paradise.

Nine years after its initial release Kirby's Epic Yarn still is a very special platform game. The worlds are beautiful and creative. We also welcome the new Devilish Mode, which makes the game more challenging.

It is not very surprising to see another Yoshi game that creative and cute, and though it is nice for a while, it all feels way too familiar and frankly, a bit boring.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron offers a lot of fun, but has some minor issues. The campaign is varied and compelling, but has some rough edges and misses a cooperative multiplayer mode. The multiplayer is unique and fun, but misses a deeper layer to keep you entertained longer.

If you have played this game on Wii U, you will not find too many new things. The addition of new characters however, are awesome if you want to play this game in a competition.

Prey is not a good shooter and the story does not really live up to our expectations. However, Talos I is an amazing place, thanks to the huge feeling of freedom you get in solving every problem totally your way.

Without a doubt one of the coolest cooperative games this year. Unlocking new skills and gears is addicting and fun, and the game demands good cooperation if you wish to succeed. The crime.net system mixes up the missions just enough that it stays fun and challenging. The game isn’t made to play by yourself and there are some balancing issues, but despite these issues Payday 2 is highly recommended for every aspiring criminal.

In Until Dawn the results of your choices really matter, which makes the game as unique as all possible endings it offers. The scary place where you write the script yourself is graphically superb. The Hollywood cast makes the picture even more perfect, although the animations are not always of the same great quality.

Tekken is all about the multiplayer, especially if you play against a friend who knows the game well. The new fighters are bringing enough new material to learn and practice on you’re own. The functionalities around this aren’t that interesting. You can better leave the game alone if you’re not a multiplayer person. If you are a multiplayer person and you’re willing to put some hours into it, this game will be a pearl of a 3D fight game.

The addition of many new tools is a giant step forward for creative minds. The story mode is short but sweet and we had a good time exploring the new characters. Too bad the cute little friends seem to attract a lot of bugs.

You'll quickly forget about the short length of The Unfinished Swan when you step into the wonderful world of the game. It is an imaginative journey where the level design surprises you time after time.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy has become a very interesting fighting game. The game possesses a lot of characters in which you can play a very long but not that interesting plot. The fighting in combination with the leveling-system is very entertaining, but the annoying camera and story plot doesn’t give it the shine to the game that it should have. On the other hand, the fun you have with this game is a lot more meaningful then the camera issues. That’s why this game deserves a worthy grade.

It is very obvious these games are made for a new generation of trainers. The Pokemon Go way of catching Pokemon is very successful, and the small changes to the beautifully crafted Kanto region are revolutionary. It is just a bit too simple for experienced Pokemon players.

Expectations were high for Prototype. Based on what we saw before the release this was logical. In the end, the game turned out to be pretty good, but nowhere near what we expected. The developer did a good thing with respect to the awesome action, the superb superpowers and the chaos in New York, but failed to deliver a decent story. Also, we’re disappointed with the amount of variation in the game.

There are more arcade racers than you can count, but Split/Second brings something to the pack that makes this game a must-try. Every race is a hyped-up experience full of explosions and crashes that leaves the décor in shambles, but puts you on the edge of your seat. Realism or depth is not something you can expect from this title, but that shouldn’t be a deal breaker.

Alien: Isolation is a worthy entry in the Alien universe. Thanks to the great attention to detail, the visuals are a triumph in modern game design and are recognizable to everyone who is familiar with the original motion picture. The game becomes a bit predictable later on.

It might not be Layton's or Wright's best game, but Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is a fun and weird game that doesn't shy away from a lot of text, tough puzzles and an entertaining, but convoluted story.

CastleStorm steals elements from a bunch of games and turns it into a fun whole. The charming style and many options to attack of defend with your castle make this a fun trip to the middle-ages.

Trials fusion is pretty much the same as its predecessors. The great gameplay is still there, in a shinier outfit. The expanded Track Editor and extra challenges give the game a lot of replay value, and tricks make for extra variety. Trials Fusion is a great Trials-game.

LocoRoco Remastered offers the same happy feelings it did eleven years ago. The graphics are terrific and the game is filled with catchy songs. There are no big changes or additions to the game, but for newcomers this is a definite yes.

The Following is a lot like Dying Light. The same rough edges, basic story and annoying characters. Even the bugs and other technical issues are still there. However, this add on does bring enough new features to make it worth while to play Dying Light again. Plus, it is still a game with strong gameplay and amazing co-op modes.

PES 2019 is more about individuality and fluent gameplay than ever before. Especially when you play online it is noticeable, but it is a let-down when you play offline. And offline is what PES players love best.

Despite the length of the adventure, Mirror’s Edge offers an experience you will not forget any time soon. Every time you put away the controller and turn off the console, you’re left wanting more. Everything, from the bright visuals to the fast-paced action, justifies the high score.

While F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will definitely appeal to fans of the first installment, newcomers to the franchise will also be pleased with the fast paced and action packed gameplay. Next to that, this game is a lot less scary than it's predecessor, making this a game well suitable for shooter fanatics. On the down low, it's a bit disappointing the multiplayer mode isn't all that.

This is a game with two faces: the story mode and adventure modes are amazing thanks to the action, fights and quick time events, but there are also bad dialogues between characters. Thankfully there is a lot to do in this game, so that does make it worth while.

OlliOlli is about a flow; a balance between fun and challenge, in which rhythm and skills are crucial. The game does this in such a convincing manner, that you’ll gladly return for daily grinds, even if it is just to reach that top 100.

Most of you have already decided whether you’re playing Battlefield 4 or not. And for those who are riddled with doubt we have the following announcement: buying Battlefield 4 will get you a multiplayer game that’ll suck hours upon hours out of your life in the coming year.

Tales of Vesperia is a good mix of action-packed fighting, a nice story and accessible gameplay. However, the problem is that the game has scarcely any new gameplay elements compared to (for instance) Tales of Symphonia. Newbies will like Tales of Versperia very much, but people who’ve played Tales of Symphonia need to ask themselves whether they want to go on a tour of reminiscence. Even when it is a very pleasant tour.
