    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.

    The Evil Within is a case of mission accomplished, but there are some casualties. The game is challenging and has a creepy feel to it, but the voice acting is bad, some locations just don't seem right, and the story loses its strength along the way.

    Night in the Woods is a graphic novel filled with small stories. The lack of a bigger story and the slow start make this game hard to keep playing, but in the end it is definitely worth while.

    Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is a good and original attempt at bringing the formula to a handheld. The interesting use of depth in this side-scroller and the implementation of the well known freeflow combat, make Blackgate a joy to play at times. Backtracking loses its appeal after a while though, as do the lack of enemies and the unintuitive map.

    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.

    There are few cute changes to the well known LEGO way of gaming, but the story is so hard to follow and the many characters that are not too well known make it even more chaotic. Too bad, cause this game is really funny, combined with excellent voice acting.

    The Saboteur causes mixed feelings. Paris is very living and the use of the black-white contrast is superb. On the other hand the game is rather glitchy and isn't polished up at all. The fun that you get out of sabotaging Nazi's makes up for most of it though.

    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.

    The slogan 'Fight like Hell' says it all. Doom is brutal, it is quick and it is exactly what Doom was in the 90s. That is a big plus, but also a weakness as id Software simply can't manage to modernize the series. The story is insane, the tempo is odd and shooting gets a bit repetitive.

    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.

    You do not have to be a fan of Harry Potter to enjoy the game, as it is more important to be patient and open to sink into the wizarding world. Especially if you love collecting this is a fun game, though you have to guard yourself for not spending real-world money.

    Star Fox Guard has a nice learning curve to get you up to speed about robots, CCTV and mazes. There is a huge variety of enemies and weapons, to keep guarding the Grippy installations fun. That really helps, but only for a while, after playing this game for a while, it does get repetitive.

    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.

    Amazing Alex is an interesting puzzle game. With a lot of different ways to solve each puzzle and a load of content, Amazing Alex has what it takes to keep you entertained for hours. The only downside is the limitations of the level editor.

    Splatoon is a multiplayer shooter that only Nintendo can make. The basics and gameplay are very strong and addictive, but the game does feel limited in modes and there are a few design choices that can ruin the fun.

    Laytons daughter is a fun addition to this beautifully designed series, but she does talk a lot. Thankfully there are many puzzles to distract you from that.

    Long time Tomb Raider players will definitely enjoy Underworld, but it has both its minor and major flaws. The frustrating camera, the sometimes outdated gameplay, and the short main storyline make for a less-then-perfect experience. Thus, Underworld doesn’t live up to its expectations, but is absolutely worth a try.

    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.

    MotoGP 09/10 is way more interesting than its predecessors. But even an interesting career mode and a good sense of speed can’t help the fact that some players might van the driving to be a bit unrealistic and the online multiplayer is sort off lacking.

    2K has definitely listened to the faults of the last WWE by improving some modes and adding a few fun ones. The commentary is still lacking, but 2K Towers is highly entertaining.

    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.

    Defiance is far from perfect. The list of technical issues is substantial and not all elements of the game have been worked out as well as others. The competitive competitions fail to impress for instance. Still, it manages to keep players interested, thanks to the lively and intriguing world. Especially the dynamic Arkfall-events are impressive. Defiance is a fun MMO that you’ll sink many hours into before you know it.

    Mirror of Fate doesn’t do much terribly wrong, but doesn’t do much greatly either. All parts are subjected to a story that doesn’t live up to standards. It’s party Lords of Shadow with a deep, perfectly integrated combat system that hardly gets put to the test. It’s partly Metroidvania, but exploration doesn’t have a great impact due to lackluster upgrades. When holding Mirror of Fate up to a mirror, it mostly misses a clear execution of a number of good ideas.

    The Raid mode alone would make us buy this game. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 combines challenging strong gameplay with depth, which makes for a very entertaining product. We would have liked to see a bit more variety in this mode. Let's see what the other episodes will add to the story-driven campaign.

    The Raid-mode is still the most enticing part about Resident Evil: Revelations 2. The gameplay is great, but unfortunately the lack of variation starts to break up this mode already. Thankfully the campaign mode is getting more interesting now.

    The game has its flaws, but when the elements come together this is an amazing Zelda-title that mixes in the best things out of Four Swords. Working together is fun, but it does get boring after a while. To be frank, the matchmaking is bad, there are connectivity issues and this causes so much frustration that it ruins the rest of the game.

    Dragon Ball XenoVerse is, without a doubt, the best Dragon Ball-game in ages. The balanced fighting system and the typical chaotic over-the-top fights fit perfectly together. Making your own Dragon Ball-character to play the alternative story is fun. Unfortunately the game is stymied by unstable servers, camera issues and the compulsory grinding.

    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.

    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.

    Metal Slug 7 is an addictive game, despite the absence of a co-op mode, the lack of variation in playable characters, and the recycling of different elements from earlier installments in the series. The old school gameplay is a blast though, the visuals have nostalgia written all over it, and the Combat Room is a nice addition.
