The first Formula 1-game for the current gen consoles and PC is pretty good, which is mainly because of the great controls and realistic way of capturing the highest race class in the world. It is a let-down that the driving experience is interrupted by unstable graphics and lack of features.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes tries to capture the dark side of the master detective, but thanks to the awkward animations we barely recognize Holmes. The clunky controls make discovering a crime scene a grueling experience, but the game does excel in the things it's supposed to excel in: many different puzzles and some great detective work.

Risen 3: Titan Lords is lucky that it has been released just before the big storm of RPG’s. If the game would’ve been around a little later, it wouldn’t have stood a chance. But aside from all that, Risen 3 isn’t a bad game. There’s lots to do and Piranha Bytes has tried to keep away as much as possible from the word ‘boredom’. Even though the game succeeds in that respect, there are still a lot of shortcomings that are unforgivable these days.

Yoshi's New Island is a huge letdown. It doesn't understand anything of what made the original so special and the result is a profoundly boring game in which high points are merely recognizing many reused elements.

We were hoping for some improvements, but alas. Pro Cycling Manager know many frustrations. There are a few improvements made to managing, but these are too slim to redeem the game. Next year real steps will have to be made to save this franchise, and a patch to fix all of the crashes wouldn't hurt.

Afro Samurai stays close to the anime. It has some big flaws, but despite that, the game is still standing. The soundtrack is superb and the slow motion action will keep you entertained.

Just Cause 4 feels very familiar. In our opinion way too familiar and a bit too old. Especially when it comes to the technology behind it, Just Cause 4 is a real letdown.

Alpha Protocol is one big deception. The stealth action is lacking and the enemies sometimes act ridiculously. Because of this most of the missions are a drag. A shame since the created world lends itself perfectly for a spy game. The surprisingly fun conversation system, in which the choices have a real impact on the gameplay, is a spark in the dark mess called Alpha Protocol.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is to a certain degree pretty enjoyable but it simply never attempts to try anything special with the universe to which it is connected. It's absolutely not horrible and the true fans will definitely enjoy it but we hope the next game contains a bit more 'magic'.

The new version of Shadow of the Beast tries really hard to honor the original, while adding modern features. The amazing looking world and the interesting fighting system are not enough: the game is too short, the controls are annoying and the focus is on getting a high score is simply too much. Very forgettable.

Aliens vs. Predator seems to be an ok game at the start, but in the end it disappoints a bit. The AI of the enemy is dreadful and the story is predictable.

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.

F1 2014 does not have any exciting innovations, besides the changes that also happened in the actual teams in real life). The gameplay is flat, the game looks rushed and we can only hope Codemasters will put more effort in F1 2015.

Because of its realistic approach, Farming Simulator 2015 is a good simulator. It is particularly fun to do the reaping together with somebody else. Thanks to the new engine, the farming looks a lot better than before. Too bad the hiring of workers and the added wood chop options are so lousy.

London 2012 is undoubtedly one of the best Summer Olympic games, but everyone who has played a couple of those, knows that doesn't say much. Some sports impress, while others fall short. The way SEGA has handled the grand sporting event, still isn't up to par.

There are some ingredients there to be a good game, but this is not a game that completely honors Kafka. This did not turn out the way we hoped it would.

White Knight Chronicles is a nice RPG. It brings an entertaining story, many hours of gameplay and a lot of possibilities to improve your squad.

This action game with horror influences made us scream at night. The music and spooky enemies has driven us to a point that we had to switch on all the lights. Once we weren’t scared anymore we saw some things that made are eyebrows go up. The protagonist, Alex, can fight and uses a gun. This takes away a lot of fun that we had during the last Silent Hill. So it is safe to say that it’s a good game, but doesn’t have the ‘wow’ factor.

The gameplay in Game of Thrones is a bit more passive than most games and might be difficult to follow for people new to the franchise, but it does offer a strong story that fits right into the Game of Thrones lore. It has the same fantastic way of taking you into this fantasy world filled with surprising and shocking moments.

Yonder offers a beautiful world and a big heads-up to the bigger franchises of this planet. The fact that only three people developed it, make this game very special. It is too bad the search for Sprites is exhausting, cause otherwise this could have been a pretty awesome game.

Red Alert 3: Uprising has a budget priced label, which is a good thing, but we've seen better Command & Conquer expansions. The Yuriko campaign was a good idea, but fails. The other campaigns aren't interesting, the new units are boring and only the Commander's Challenge is a feature that will save the game from a bad grade.

This game is exactly what you'd expect: an hommage to the Nintendo DS classic with a few new features. Most of it is still great, but the infrared is technically lacking.

Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey wants to offer a kind of pseudo-realistic experience from the past, but forgets that there is a modern person behind the buttons who just wants to be entertained.

The Sinking City is a fun game, but to really enjoy it there is a lot you'll have to put up with. Maybe that will be solved in the future, but at the moment the only thing that really saves this game is the amazing influence of Lovecraft.

Urban Style Freestyle isn’t just a cosmetic trip to the urban environments. It adds a whole new dimension to the addicting gameplay with the added Stunt Mode. Unfortunately the impact of this addition isn’t as big as you’d expect. Because of the lower difficulty and the low amount of levels the game can be finished in under four hours, completely. Even the track editor can’t change that.

SimCity has the potential to become a true goliath in the city building-genre, but is still being bogged down by too many problems, like the randomness with which services are exchanged in a region or the idiocy with which working citizens drive to work. That the buildable surface is smaller than in previous installments didn’t bother us that much because there are enough devices that will let players put every bit of space to good use. It would help though, if the intercity cooperation and chaotic traffic would be improved with a patch.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is to a certain degree pretty enjoyable but it simply never attempts to try anything special with the universe to which it is connected. It's absolutely not horrible and the true fans will definitely enjoy it but we hope the next game contains a bit more 'magic'.

Wheelman is a relatively successful movie based game without a movie. It translates spectacular over-the-top cinematic racing action to an accessible game, set in the pleasant surroundings of Barcelona. Unfortunately its gameplay is so dumbed down that it lacks any challenge whatsoever, making Wheelman a decent – but flawed – snack that lies somewhere in-between GTA IV, Driver, and Burnout.
