The Sonic-team has succeeded in developing an improvement upon the last Sonic-game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Even then, Sonic Unleashed is a flawed game. The Hedgehog-levels are fast and fun, while the Werehog-levels offer a bit of a change to the classic Sonic-gameplay, although, unfortunately, it often comes down to mindless button bashing. Unleashed shows that Sonic isn’t dead and buried yet, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

FIA European Truck Racing Championship is without a doubt one of the most original racing games we have played in years. However, that does not make the game worthwhile.

Crackdown 3 forgets the twelve years of innovation in videogames and ends up being a repetitive, boring game.

There are some cool new features in Rio 2016, for example the costumes in the story mode. The possibilities of 3DS are used as much as possible, which is very fun, especially as the variety in minigames is good. Is it exciting though? Unfortunately not, and there are no online ways of playing, which feels a bit old-fashioned.

The fundamentals are there but Dark Void never soars to great heights.

This is a good try in doing a Metal Gear game without Hideo Kojima, but the game is simply not survival enough. The gameplay is pretty repetitive and we simply got bored way before the story ended.

From a technological perspective, Undercover is a humiliating installment in the Need for Speed-series. The frame rate stutters, the open world is dead, and the story is laughable. Even then, Undercover offers some of the same over-the-top racing fun we have gotten used to, and the game will surely get your adrenaline pumping when getting behind the wheel of some of the hottest cars in the world.

On the one side it's a fast-paced, pretty, turn-based Pokémon game filled with random dungeons that provide many hours of entertainment. On the other side though, is has a dull story, stacked with uninteresting conventions that can't be skipped. Because of this, Gates of Infinity is a less serious, and even somewhat childish successor to its predecessors.

Inazuma Eleven Strikers is like eggs without bacon; it's just not finished. The game misses a grand story that ties all the matches together, because the gameplay itself is too weak to do that. Strikers misses every good thing the Inazuma Eleven series has ever given us and even the flashy animations the Wii puts on the screen can't make us forget this.

The fundamentals are there but Dark Void never soars to great heights.

It doesn't matter if you're playing Epic Mickey 2 by yourself or in split-screen, there is a lot of fun to be found in walking around the magical worlds created by Disney. It is a shame that some sloppy mistakes and the often not ideal camera kill the mood. The story is also somewhat lacking, which makes Epic Mickey 2 far less impressive than its predecessor.

Mario Party has offered us many treats over the years and it is fun to choose when you are playing them. However, there is not much room for motivation to play through, and it is not too easy to play this game with others, making it less of a party than it would be on a tv console.

Micro Machines World Series only shortly let us tune into that nostalgic feeling thanks to its wonderful tracks and fun multiplayer modes. It makes it rather sad that there are too many bots and AI present and that the controls are so difficult.

Avatar: The Game is ambitious enough, but ambition alone doesn’t make a good game, something James Cameron doesn’t seem to realize. With wonky gameplay mechanics, a boring story and an overall lack of polish, this game is just another film crossover gone wrong.

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.

Lost in Blue 3 is a far from exciting game. It’s not challenging in any way, the minimalistic level design is awful, the mission objectives are unclear, the constant retrieving of water is both boring and frustrating.. I always thought getting stranded on a deserted island was more fun.

The Inpatient is impressive thanks to virtual reality, voice controls and the amazing story. However the controls are a big obstacle, making it very hard to keep playing.

Murdered: Suspect Soul is a game with a daring scenario and a very interesting setting. Solving murders with remnants of 17th-century witch trials in the background should be fun but it is anything but that. Even for fans of murder mysteries, Murdered: Suspect Soul is difficult to recommend.

BioWare is good at making complete worlds, like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. We wonder why it chose to offer us only half a world with Anthem. It looks amazing, but it needs a lot of work if we want to enjoy it for the next couple of years.

Little Witch Academia feels like Groundhog Day, but without the fun. Too bad, cause it really has the same feel as the anime.

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a very enjoyable game for a younger audience, but older and more experienced gamers won’t be satisfied with the simple platforming, lame controls and lack of real innovation.

Mario Tennis Ultra Smash is a disappointment. The basics have been okay-ish for years, but the new modes like Mega Battle and Knockout are boring. The online bits are so simplified that even playing against friends is not an option. This game feels like a waste.

APB is an MMO you can play for free for fifty hours, but I seriously doubt anyone will get that far. The game completely fails in almost every aspect which makes playing this game a living hell. Sadly enough I couldn't enjoy APB even for a moment.

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.

Dr Mario World is a freemium game and that shows. You play for a second and there is a wall of payments brought up. It is a fun game, but you can't really get everything out of it without using microtransactions.

With this virtual release of Risk the makers do not take a lot of risk. Thankfully the rules of the game have not been changed and the modern visuals in general are something to get excited about. Too bad the new style is a bit to serious and tough, without adding personality. The frame-drops are not really helping this game, either.

Compared to its predecessor, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint offers mainly more possibilities for creating fun and exciting momens with friends. The flaws and bugs are offset by Ubisoft’s promise to continuously deliver new content for Breakpoint over the next few years. The French company has demonstrated with Rainbow Six Siege and Ghost Recon: Wildlands that they are committed to supporting their games for a long time, so there is a good chance that Breakpoint can play a lot better on your own in a year.

V-Rally 4 stays on the safe side in the rally sub-genre. The result is a game that feels a bit too familiar, though it does come with some impressive rally tests. It's too bad the cars are too unpredictable.
