Two years ago I wrote I hoped the developers would make a successor to LocoRoco more challenging. It appears they haven’t heard my calls. The game still possesses the same charm and cuteness, especially for people who missed out on the first installment in the series, and the soundtrack will make anyone smile. LocoRoco 2 gets repetitive in the long run though, and adds very little to the original game.

Freakyforms Deluxe might be one of the most bizarre games we have played on the 3DS so far. It's a chaotic combination of silly jokes, childish graphics, platform action, weird music and your own creative mind. One moment you're saving a king with a pink, smart phone owning dinosaur and the next you'll be scrubbing the back of your own car… underwater… with a moustache. In short: this game makes absolutely no sense, yet it is brought in a way that makes it quite fun to play.

This is a fun comedy for the darkest days of the year. It offers crazy outfits and guns to handle the endless amounts of zombies. The story is a bit too serious compared to the rest of the game, but the overall craziness is excellent.

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.

As always it is a great feeling to puzzle your cutesy Mini's all the way to the end door. It is solid puzzle-gameplay with a happy feel to it, but it does not really excite us. Nothing new is added to the franchise and the TV does not add anything to the game besides better graphics.

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.

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.

Broken Age: The Complete Adventure feels as a great adventure, thanks to its moving storyline, charming humor and high production value. This is a classic point-and-click- adventure with a great design and dito voice-overs. It is such a pity that halfway through the game a lot of content is re-used and puzzles make you walk a around for no reason.

Beyond: Two Souls is amazing. This statement can be taken positively as well as negatively. Positively, thanks to its unmatched cinematic action scenes. Negatively, because of the limited gameplay. What starts as an emotional, exciting story, ends up being a grotesque tidal wave of paranormal crap. That makes this more the spiritual successor to Fahrenheit than Heavy Rain.

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.

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.

Rage 2 could have been so much more. The gun action feels and looks awesome, but the world in which it all happens is just too flat and the story doesn't help either.

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.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles has some nice moments, especially when you are playing the game in co-op mode. We like the idea that you are going back to Racoon City, but the game is far from perfect. The camera is annoying and some bosses are just plain stupid.

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.

Tearaway is a great game that intuitively uses the Vita's capabilities, on paper. The graphical style is very charming, is easy on the eyes and invites to touching the screen and rear pad. It starts of quite slowly though and throws too much of its own principles overboard in the final chapters to be to amazing game the Vita desperately needs.

Despite the somewhat forced feel of the mysterious vibe, Nightsky is still a good game. The ten different worlds offer a good amount of levels that need to be solved in different ways. A good combination of puzzles and skill.

The Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection is a great collection. The first games are just the starter for the exemplary main dish: Budokai 3. Everything you'd expect in a Dragon Ball game is present, without destroying the balance of the game.

Foul Play offers a special twist to the beat ‘em up-genre by adding a Rock Band-ish system. The Theatre theme is well implemented, and that makes the game immensely fun and cutesy. The audiences responses actually make you try while fighting, but it does start to get a bit repetitive an hour or so in.

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.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch might just be the funniest game of the year. It’s not just the idiotic premise, but also the as insane gameplay with controls that don’t really give you control of anything. Octodad frustrates in the end with some sneaking elements, but by then you’ll have messed around, tripped and spilled so much, that Octodad is without a doubt father of the year.

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.

Mushroom Men The Spore Wars is a fun Wii-game. It offers a good adventure-experience, with a interesting story-line a lot of stuff to explore, puzzles, mini-games and a lot of jumping.

If you don’t put the cute ninjas and animals under a magnifying glass, you can see a great game underneath the happy exterior . The graphics are ok, and you can see IO has tried to put down a Japanese style for the game. The gameplay is throughout the game pretty much the same thing and a lot of challenge you wont find. But in the end Mini Ninjas is a simple and entertaining game.

The Wolf Among Us starts of promising. Episode 1 is a gripping detective adventure with many intriguing characters, beautiful locations and important choices. The numerous action scenes provide players with some variety, but this is paired with a few hitches and long load times.

With over twenty mini games Smart As offers quite some diversity. Daily training in combination with the Smart As world is a good reason to squeeze the most out of your brain for fifteen minutes a day. Unfortunately the game doesn't always registers your input correctly, the augmented reality games don't work and the voice over is terrible. It makes Smart As a passable game, though not cum laude.

Resonance of Fate has an amazing fighting system, but is also a very weird game, with strange sexual jokes.

Hatoful Boyfriend is by no means a game just for pigeon enthusiasts. Fans of dating sims and gamers looking for something different will find enough entertainment value here. The story arcs are bizarre, the birds about as strange and the dialogue is almost always funny. There’s not a lot more you can ask from a game about dating birds.
