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.

Gameplay is king and Housemarque proves it. Alienation does nothing new, but it does everything to perfection. The gameplay is addictive: a great mix of collecting, action, fighting, role playing and the upgrading of weapons.

My middling expectations of the solo-adventure seem to be just: it’s not bad, but obviously a step back when compared to the previous installment. Variety is nowhere to be found and the story never blossoms. The Aftermath campaign only makes up for that a little. It’s the multiplayer where Judgment shines. The action feels fresh, is wonderfully fast and the OverRun and Survivor modes offer a strategic experience that’ll soothe Horde-fans and newcomers alike. With that said, Judgment isn’t the complete package we hoped for, but it is an accessible and brutal multiplayer gamer.

L.A. Noire still is a unique detective game that is worth playing. The things we did not appreciate about the original are still there, but in the end this is still an amazing videogame.

Fifa 20 is all confetti. Pure speed, sensational counter football, and childish dances after a goal predominate. That is not criticism, it's a statement. It is really nice to beat an opponent with a lot of show, but Fifa has not much to do with "real" football this year.

It's a cool adventure that ignore the trend of modern day 2D platformers just to offer a whole new world. The only problem is that the movement of the enemy is so annoying, that it is tough to stay motivated.

Overlord II is a fun game to play. The humor is sometimes a little bit over the top, but the minions are very finny. The gameplay brings a lot of different puzzles and we just love the music score. The camera doesn’t always works as it should, but that is also something you can get used to.

Scram Kitty seems extremely accessible, but the difficulty rises considerably after a few levels. Take your time and learn to deal with the unique controls, and Scram Kitty is one of the better eShop games that you can download for your Wii U.

The Settlers 7 is one of the best installments of the series. It is very addictive, has a deep economic system and we like the fact that you can complete a level with different tactics.

UFC 2 feels like a complete UFC experience with a few good new features. The Ultimate Team and Knockout modes offer many hours of fun. The career mode however, could still use a bit of work.

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.

Monster Hunter Stories is a good RPG, that combines collecting with a fun combat system.

Call of Duty: WW2 is refreshing thanks to its slower pace, historical weaponry and thematic divisions. However, this game does not really reinvent the wheel, especially when it comes to the single-player.

WRC 8 is without a doubt the best game in the world championship rally in years. Thanks to a huge load of content and cool features this game is awesome, but it is a bit rough around the edges.

Golf Story is an amazing addition to the huge range of Switch games. This is not a golf sim, but an accessible golf-RPG. It totally does not feel like a real golfing game, but that is not a bad thing as it is so much fun.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood succeeds in bringing a great Western vibe, and we love the amount of action. We are missing a co-op mode and the game is sometimes a little to scripted, but in the end it is a very decent game.

Detroit: Become Human is a bit too ambitious for its own good. It is not a game-breaking problem, but it does make moments that were set up to be huge a bit disappointing. If you take it slow and give your brain enough time to think it all through, there is definitely a lot to take away from Detroit: Become Human.

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is a very decent RPG for everyone with a shitload of time on his hands. The deep and tactical turnbased gameplay can give players up to a hundred hours of strategic battles and bizarre humor. The only major downfall is the graphical quality, or lack thereof. Though Disgaea 3 doesn’t offer completely new content, it is definitely worth your time.

A Way Out is a unique and ambitious co-op experience that has a bit of a rough start but offers plenty of variety in gameplay to make up for that.

Fallout 4 VR is not exactly the perfect vr game, but it is so cool to go through radioactive ruins while disintegrating Super Mutants with your Laser Musket. There are many comfortable VR options which is great, though the game also struggles with some bugs.

Yoshi's Woolly World is a good new game in the Yoshi's Island-series. Its art style is fun throughout the whole game, as well as the upbeat soundtrack. Every world surprises with new bosses and enemies, which makes it even more a pity that you can go through it really quickly if you do not collect everything there is to collect.

To be honest, House of the Dead: OVERKILL exceeded our expectations. The whole Tarantino-esque vibe this game breathes is simply hilarious and the game doesn't hesitate to shove tons of curse words and gallons of blood in your face. The fact that you'll have seen most of the game within a week doesn't mean you shouldn't play it. Just clear your mind, get trigger happy.

WWE '13 is a game with a clear and compelling fighting system. Because of this it is easy to get in to the wonderful Attitude Era, that lets you live some of the most legendary moments in wrestling history. It is a shame that the other modes haven't received as much love from developer Yuke's.

PES is far from perfect, but if the ball starts to roll and two players are competitive to each other, you start to believe in PES again. Konami is pushing this game in the right direction and let us hope that Konami stays on this path. PES stays PES, and FIFA stays FIFA. It’s a certain feeling that should be generated if you play one of the two games. If you’re willing to put some time in this game, you can play for hours with joy.

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.

Dauntless offers a lot of content, especially for a game that is free. The combat starts off a bit slow, but give it some time and you will thoroughly enjoy yourself with Dauntless.

The combat system in For Honor is amazing. Any fighter you take to battle offers a different experience. It is a pity the game has some technical flaws, because other than that it definitely is the great experience we were hoping for.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a digital jukebox full of musical highlights from the Final Fantasy series. Thanks to three different modes the game is varied throughout and ideal for short trips, preferably trips down memory lane.

Mythologies is not a great expansion on the The Age of Empire-series. There might be a story involved with the game, but we didn’t really think it was worth mentioning. The name of the game could have easily been Age of Empires: Mariothologies, you wouldn’t know the difference story wise. When this doesn’t bother you, you’ll find a game you can play for many hours.

Rabbids Go Home is addictive and insanely funny in its own, unique way. Despite the fact the game tends to repeat itself after a certain time, it offers enough clever moments to stay entertaining.

The character creator offers loads of fun and though the series is less about the physical figurines and more about the gameplay, making your own virtual Skylander is already really great.

The story of the latest Star Wars movie gets retold in the cutest and funniest way thanks to TT Games and LEGO. The new gameplay additions are amazing, like rebuilding LEGO builds to puzzle your way to the next stage. It is so charming, it makes us forget about the technical errors.

It is really hard not to fall in love with Unravel. The atmospheric, beautiful world is the perfect setting for an emotional story. There are a few hiccups when it comes to gameplay, but thanks to the quality of the adventure that is hardly noticeable.

Stealth Inc. can be horribly frustrating, because you can't know what'll happen in advance to you hitting that switch. A quick death is therefore always lurking around the corner. Ironically it is at its funniest when breaking the fourth wall and rubbing your mistakes in your face. Whoever won't blow up from dying time and time again, and has the patience to learn from their mistakes, could have a lot of fun with Stealth Inc. A Clone in the Dark.

Pocket Planes is free, which makes it perfect to give it a try. Collecting money and bucks is slow if you don't spend real money, but in time you can expand your airline without taking out your wallet. Too bad, though, the game is incredibly passive; you do nothing but sending out flights and waiting for the money to roll in.

A sparkling game full of cute character, funny situations and spectacular boss battles. It’s a shame the bad recognition of symbols sometimes get in the way of the chaotic and fast gameplay. And the game sometimes gets frustrating when new enemies kill you before you even get a chance to find out their weaknesses. But despite it all, Platinum Games delivers a solid title that is interesting and beautiful in many ways.

Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is still a creative and swinging platform fest with a great point system. To bad Nintendo saw it necessary to add and change some stuff to the game that in some cases ruins the experience. The original was better but anyone who didn’t get the chance to play this game back in the day is going to have a blast in this colorful platformer.

The huge DLC library does not have a great setup and the compatibility list for controllers does not work perfectly either. It takes so long to get started, and even though playing is still a great experience, all the stuff around it is simply too distracting. Especially because the game does not have a strong online multiplayer or interesting visuals.

The biggest compliment that I can lodge against Killzone: Mercenary is that is simply works. It’s a complete FPS-game that wouldn’t be misplaced on consoles and works excellently on the Vita thanks to the hardware’s features. Visually it’s stunning, but the game is a bit short and the touch controls do annoy slightly from time to time. The very entertaining multiplayer more than makes up for that though.

The basics of Fortnite are great: building a base and fighting zombies is amazing, especially when you play with friends.

A dictator usually needs a lot of charisma and preferably no people that dare to stand up to him. Tropico 6 is just like it. As city builder it's not bad, but all those statistics, menus and the weird system for building are not awesome. But hey, Tropico is still one of a kind.

Ghosts plays it safe. That doesn’t mean it’s not a competent game by a long shot. The single player has gotten a fun new settings, the multiplayer maps are well designed and the new modes are a lot of fun to dive into. It’s just too bad that a few popular modes have been removed and it doesn’t cater as much to the competitive player as previous installments in the series. That doesn’t take away from the fact that this is another great shooter in the Call of Duty franchise.

Disney Infinity 3.0 is a nice new addition to the fun and cute series, although it could have been better. Tutorials and graphics are a lot better, but known issues like long loading screens and technical stutters still annoy the gamer. The starter set is a bit less big than usual, but the missions and stories are lovely and the different difficulty levels make this game suitable for anybody.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood succeeds in bringing a great Western vibe, and we love the amount of action. We are missing a co-op mode and the game is sometimes a little to scripted, but in the end it is a very decent game.

Harmonix proves rhythm games are still as alive as ever; it just lacked some creativity these last couple of years. Rock Band Blitz might start of slow, but this is soon compensated by the fresh outlook the game gives on music games.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a beautiful JRPG with a few interesting twists to the genre. The fighting system works great and building up your own clan while having the pressure of time makes it more interesting. Although that time pressure does come with some old-fashioned frustration.

Charlie Murder is an absolute must for many gamers, especially if you’re looking for a new beat ‘m up or a fun co-op game. By combining simple action with loot and extensive character classes, Charlie Murder offers more depth than you might expect. It pays to think about how to level your character and selecting the right items. With a lot of content and diversity, the cool style and great humour Charlie Murder adds up to a great XBLA title.

Origins is one of the best Nintendo DS-games of the year, and both appealing to fans of and newcomers to the Dragon Ball-universe. It’s got a good story, great humour, plenty of action, and some nice visuals to keep you coming back for more. My only gripe with it is the at times not so precise control system, and lack of co-op mode, which could’ve turned this game into an instant Kamehameha.

Rune Factory 4 is an RPG answer to Animal Crossing. There's loads to do, collect and discover. The animation style is strong and your character grows with everything you do. This makes this game very handy for a short game moment on the go, but also for gaming sessions that take hours in a row.

Little Nightmares is a scary platformer with well thought through gameplay. The creepy atmosphere is so cool, we wish it would last longer.

Grid 2 is a fantastic racing game in which you'll have to fight for a decent classification. There's no 'perfect line'-crap, but purely the battle. Because of this, a victory really feels like a victory. There's enough variation to keep you going, but the career mode seems a bit bleak. Because of that, it barely misses out on a 9 or higher.

This intense game puts you right in the middle of war but not in the perspective you'd expect. As a civilian you will need to survive, while encountering a lot of emotional issues. The choices you have to make are fascinating all through to the end.

The difficult job of creating a game that feels truly authentic and lives up to the franchise's fame has been done successfully. Ghostbusters: The Video Game simply 'breathes' Ghostbusters, and players will get their kicks with some awesome 'ghost slinging' action throughout some diverse environments. The game doesn't really set any new standards for videogaming as a whole and could have been a bit longer for the lone players out there, but still, Ghostbusters: The Video Game definitely does what you expect of it and want it to do.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 goes for gold with golden themed levels that bring simple, yet fun platforming action. It's not a punishment to play levels over and over again, finding all the secrets or trying to set a new record in Coin Rush. The addition of a compelling cooperative multiplayer experience makes New Super Mario Bros. 2 the best side-scrolling Mario-game to date.

Dead Rising 3's biggest improvement is its accessibility. Graphically it's not a huge leap forward, but the amount of zombies displayed on your screen at once, is an achievement in and of itself. Dead Rising 3 might not push any boundaries, but it holds its own in the Xbox One's launch lineup.

Grand Slam Tennis is decent tennis game, but could have been better. The animations are bad and we’re missing a tutorial. The Wii Motion Plus is a nice additions, but if you’re going to play with your friends, it is necessary fort hem to also add the Wii Motion Plus. Without, it isn’t a fair fight.

The many challenges ibb & obb offer make for many hours of co-op fun and give puzzle aficionados are real challenge. The game turns the player upside down and the beautiful visuals and music make ibb & obb a blast to play. It could’ve been even better with a good hint system and an alternative for voice chat. It might not be the new Braid or Journey, but with ingenious puzzles and a great visual style Dutch indie studio Sparpweed puts itself on the map.

The addition of the FOX engine has been a dangerous but necessary leap of faith. With PES 2014, Konami made the jump, but hasn't landed safely yet. It shows many positive things, such as the renewed gameplay that feels deep and strong, new tactical options that really add something and a human aspect. Unfortunately, it still doesn't feel like a finished product.

Alice in Wonderland looks fresh and brings an entertaining adventure. The puzzles are fun to play, but sometimes the answers are a bit to easy to find.

The gorgeous sea world in Abzû is very beautiful and relaxing, but can also be exciting. It will only take you two hours to swim your way through the story and there is not much freedom, but it is an amazing experience to remember.

The epilogue of Life is Strange starts as strong as we are used to. Though there is a different developer in charge, the game fits right into the series thanks to its strong storytelling, atmospheric soundtrack and amazing characters.

Tales from the Borderlands offers even more of that strong Borderlands-humor in this second episode. The characters get a bit more depth and we meet Handsome Jack, the bad guy. This is a must for Borderlands fans.

99 percent of videogames are built on video game conventions we all know well. Everybody's Gone To The Rapture steps outside of the bubble and not only shows that that is possible, but also does it in an excellent way. This title offers gameplay elements that are truly worth exploring. It is more than just unique, it is brilliant and personal.

Anno 1404 finally manages to bring multiplayer to the table. The only gripe we can think of is the lack of a new faction. Venice is, however, a strong expansion to the series.

PES is far from perfect, but if the ball starts to roll and two players are competitive to each other, you start to believe in PES again. Konami is pushing this game in the right direction and let us hope that Konami stays on this path. PES stays PES, and FIFA stays FIFA. It’s a certain feeling that should be generated if you play one of the two games. If you’re willing to put some time in this game, you can play for hours with joy.

This original hand drawn puzzle-platformer will not make things easy for you, but the charm is in the challenge. The dynamic magnet mechanics keep the game interesting all the way through. It can be hard to stay motivated, as the tiniest decision can make you fall down many stories, meaning you have to walk back the whole darn way.

It's a shame that Kokuga hasn't realized its potential because it was developed for Nintendo 3DS. The lack of a second stick makes your vehicle less flexible than you'd like and the many enemies often don't fit on the screen. Having said that: the pacing has been slowed down a tad and levels don't scroll along automatically, which works perfectly with the flaws of the 3DS. Aside from that, the card system work sublimely and provides the game with a tactical dimension. It helps Kokuga draw the maximum out of the handheld, so it'll offer you a full fledged experience at a digital price.

Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing does not manage to reach all-star level because of some little problems. Mario Kart might be better, but for gamers who only own a PlayStation 3 or a Xbox 360 this is the best party racer you can get.

Quotation forthcoming.

Though the fourth episode of Life is Strange 2 is a bit more mellow in the process, you can still be on the edge of your seat when it comes to storytelling. This episode really puts the brain at work, touching upon subjects that cut right into the soul.

Just like a painting you should really only look at Proteus once. Explore and discover it. A second time might show a few things you've missed along the way. A third time you'll just mostly see things you've already seen. From that point on, the experience break itself down.

Competitive guys got their awesome fighting game with Street Fighter 5, but it still feels like we are paying full price for a game that is only half done.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood succeeds in bringing a great Western vibe, and we love the amount of action. We are missing a co-op mode and the game is sometimes a little to scripted, but in the end it is a very decent game.

No big guns, unlimited ammo and a save point every three seconds; Project Zero 2 is creepy and frightening, as a horror game should be. Play this game in the dark and you'll cower in fright more than a couple of times.

Dragon Quest Heroes is a good marriage between Dynasty Warriors and Dragon Quest. It is nearly perfect, but this marriage does need some better storytelling and less repetition.

An excellent modern playground. Not only is it a beauty to behold, it is also a pleasure to play. The capabilities of the nano suit can be used to its fullest in the giant playgrounds of the game. A game of hide and seek or tag has never been this sadistic. No other game offers the superhuman fun Crysis 3 offers.

Singularity is the kind of shooter we haven't seen in a while, one who doesn't take itself too seriously. The realism of games like Call of Duty or Battlefield: Bad Company is traded in for weird weapons and awesome powers. The TMD makes for some interesting moments, but should have been more elaborate. It's also a shame the game gets far too easy half way through. Still Singularity is a great pastime in these quiet periods.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a history lesson as you have not experienced it, ever. The story is full of touching moments, small pieces of joy and at the same time it shows the horrific impacts of war. The gameplay remains varied, although the puzzles are a bit repetitive.

Quantum Break is all about one thing: storytelling. The game is dynamic, quick and has a terrific look and feel. Remedy has made a masterpiece.

Life is Strange needs a bit of time to get going, but the very nice atmosphere and fun dialogue make this introduction worth while. We do hope the lip sync will be better in the following episodes.

Supreme Commander 2 is more accessible than the original game, that’s good for those new to the series but veterans might be a bit disappointed. The scale however, manages to impress and in the end that’s what it is all about in a RTS.

ARMS has great potential, thanks to its original, fun and surprisingly complex fighting system. Online and offline this game is good, but future additions to this game will make Arms even more epic in six months from now.

After the less successful Darksiders 3, the franchise seems to have found its way up again. Apart from the sometimes forced humor and clumsy controls, there is little to be said about the spin-off game, which despite the changed camera position will feel familiar to Darksiders fans.

A bundle of two cool beat 'm ups that are still worth playing. Although the second part is the classic that you can keep playing over and over again, the first is more of a fun addition to the package. The online and offline co-op work perfectly, and the new vault point system with which you can buy game-additions is a nice bonus. If you want to play one of the best beat 'm ups ever, you should play Chronicles of Mystara.

Adding another Yarny makes this game feel less personal than the first. It is fun to play with someone else, though its not the puzzles that steal the show: the amazing journey through Scandinavian nature is what really makes Unravel 2 a joy.

This game is fine on 3DS, but we do miss the beautiful cutesy graphics the original offered us on Wii U. It is amazing how Nintendo offers an easier way of playing, while still offering an entertaining game.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is more accessible in comparison with his predecessor, but is still very hard. Succeeding gives a lot of satisfaction. Your teammates respond pretty well on your commands, but sometimes like to go their own way. On the visual side the game is awful and the missions don’t give you the chance to explore the big island.

PlatinumGames combines its successful action-based gameplay with the old cartoon. It will make you nostalgic, but there is no time to stay in the moment as there are a lot of quick and dynamic fights coming your way. The game has some repetition issues and some technical faults, but other than that it is a nice little tribute to Transformers.

Kinect, Disney and dancing: do not get thrown off by what Fantasia: Music Evolved represents. This is an original rhythm game in which you can feel the love from the makers. Kinect works perfectly and it is a pity the story mode is so brief. Thankfully there is lots more to explore after the credits.

Pikmin was a good game back in 2002. Maybe Nintendo thought they should release it again. We rather wished they didn’t. The game is a complete waste of time. The game hasn’t changed a bit since the original and brings no new content. That’s just ridiculous. If you never played Pikmin before...here’s your chance...wooptiedoo!

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is a complete and total package. But the problem is the multiplayer. It does not feel anew.

Soul Sacrifice is as ingenious as it is insane. The setting is a bizarre mix of Greek and Medieval legends, but that's nothing compared to how smartly the gameplay elements work together. Every isolated aspect has a problem, but when these aspects come together, the downsides are a thing of the past. Soul Sacrifice isn't perfect and a little more variation in enemies and environments would have gone a long way, but it will provide you with dozens upon dozens of hours of fun and will have you sacrifice many lives and Vita battery cycles.

Metro 2033 is enthralling enough to get you over some of the rough patches. The atmosphere is truly unique and for fans of great stories. It’s this story and vibe that makes Metro 2033 worth your time.

Transformers: War for Cybertron focuses on intense shooting action and sets the example for the Transformers-license. The story isn't really interesting, but gives you more fun and variation than you would expect. Add an excellent multiplayer mode tot the whole and you got a game that will drag you through these summer days.

Unfortunately The Pre-Sequel does not have the rich characters we expect in a Borderlands-game. Going through this adventure with Claptrap is very enjoyable, because of his jokes, but technically it could use some freshening up.

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.

X-men Origins: Wolverine manages to rise above the low standards of licensed videogames by presenting spectacular fights without complex button combinations. The monotonousness and some small technical difficulties make Wolverine a game that can only be recommended to the fans of the anti-hero or anyone else who enjoys simple but enjoyable popcorn entertainment in a videogame.

People who enjoyed episodes 1 and 2 will definitely enjoy this third entry. But that also means that Episode 3 does not really offer anything to attract new fans. It is more of the same, without any form of evolution. But, the constant fun we have had makes this title still feel like a good buy.
