Guitar Hero : Live is a comprehensive title, with several really interesting features. It contains a really entertaining online mode, and a pretty nice new guitar. But at the same time, we learned this concept already several years ago, and despite a long break, it is doubtful that the craving has come back.

With a stunning graphic style and an impressive combat system, Platinum Games take on the Transformers license is a must for Transformers fans. In some ways it is apparent that the development time has been limited, but that does not prevent Transformers Devastation from being the best Transformers game yet.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is without a doubt a really good idea that should be implemented onto future games. As a separate game it’s rather shallow and linear to the point of fatigue.

NHL 16 might be a more complete game than NHL 15 was, but the series still lack the possibility to play good defense, and still struggles with its AI. NHL 16 is a good hockey game, but could be so much better with only a few changes.

When it’s at its top, Mad Max is a action packed game, set in a beautiful post apocalyptic world. Unfortunately the combat mechanics, the mission design and the story aren't just there. Mad Max is overall an entertaining game, but it never reaches its full potential.

A collection with the sex Mega Man games for NES made available for the latest consoles is a great deed. The restoration has been cautious and the games are thus unchanged, which unfortunately means that the the flaws that existed 20 years ago persist today, like choppy frame rate when too many enemies are on the screen. A nice new feature is the challenge mode, which is insanely addictive. However, it feels stingy to not get a bigger collection, given that previous collections contained clearly more titles.

Yoshi’s Wolly World is in every aspect an adorable designed platformer. Unfortunately the level design isn’t that exciting. It isn’t a new Super Mario Bros, but if you love to collect stuff and explore the stages you will find Yoshi’s Wolly World to be quite entertaining.

Batman: Arkham Knight is the best looking game in the series so far, and includes a lot of cool stuff for fans of Batman. But at the same time it’s starting to feel like Rocksteady is almost too comfortable. It lacks new content, except the pretty bad designed Batmobile parts. If you haven’t played the previous games that much you will probably think that this is one of the best games this year.

On the track F1 2015 is a respectable relaunch for Codemasters Formula 1 games. The driving feels great and the speed sensation is excellent. Outside of the track however, it severely lacks content and only offers the most basic game modes. Hopefully we will get a more complete game next year.

God of War 3 is still a spectacular and really good action game, but the remastering work here feels cheap to say the least.

When N + was released in 2008, it was very well received because of the cruel, yet fair difficulty. The concept is still intact in the sequel: extremely hard micro courses that demands nothing but perfection from the player. Over 2,000 tracks are available which is an impressive amount, however this is also the games biggest problem. The sense of repetition is palpable and it's relatively easy to get bored. The user-generated content show a creativity that makes it really easy to return. Again and again.

The Lost Valley fails to deliver groundbreaking gameplay for those already familiar with the series. While the terraforming aspect is a fun addition on its own, it should not be at the expense of the defining elements of the series. The life of a farmer is just not compelling this time around.

Just like its predecessor, MotoGP 15 is a racing simulator that is both fun and demanding. The game is primarily aimed at fans of the sport, but thanks to plenty of adjustment options even beginners can appreciate the racing. Unfortunately, the exact same things can be said about last year's edition and it is hard to find any noteworthy additions in this year’s version.

A great experience and one that stays true to the Magicka franchise. Not a lot has happened since last time though, and some minor issues keep the game from reaching the same levels as the original.

In the first couple of hours Until Dawn is a really intensive horror game, that most certainly will scare the hell out of you. Unfortunately the story isn’t sufficiently well written to hold up in the almost 7 hours it takes to finish the game. And yes, after a while the jump scares feels a bit annoying.

Convoy offers an overall enjoyable experience in the vein of FTL with similar exploration and battle systems. With a lesser budget it is understandably not as deep and lacks in presentation. The best moments are found among the more complex battles. Hopefully future expansions could add some more variation to the gameplay and the as of now repetitive dialogues.

Puzzle and Dragons Z is an interesting puzzle game with a touch of roleplaying and strategy. It's equally challenging as it is repetitive since it lacks any of the limits from the mobile game. With two games in one it's still good value and a welcome addition to the puzzle game library on the format.

Massive Chalice holds some really great ideas, but is unfortunately dragged down by uneven design and a lack of depth.

Codename: S.T.E.A.M is an ambitious take on the strategy genre. A striking visual style and nice voice acting make it stand out from the crowd, but the enemy design leaves a lot to be desired. Sadly, battles also tend to drag out since the most effective way to play is to tackle objectives very slowly, meaning there is little room for meaningful strategic decisions.

Tropico 5 is a well-made strategy game filled with humor. The gameplay works ok with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse, although some menus are unnecessarily cumbersome. The genre's true peaks are still found on the PC, but Tropico is a good choice if you want to play a more laid back yet challenging strategy game on your TV.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood does not offer any real surprises, but build on the mostly successful concept of its predecessor. This means great entertainment in the form of brutal action, beautiful one-liners and a long campaign for the price.

Broken Age is a polished and charming addition to a forgotten genre. Even though the puzzles and story could have been a bit better, especially during the second part of the game, the stunning environments and delightful characters makes it a journey well worth taking. Just do not expect any revolutionary elements.

State of Decay could be the ultimate zombie experience and in some ways it actually is. Unfortunately a ton of of technical issues and game-breaking bugs hampers the experience a great deal. It is a shame that the developer did not even try to fix the shortcomings that the Xbox 360 version suffered from.

Ride is a racing game filled with passion. There is plenty of well-made bikes to try out and they are a joy to take around the track. Unfortunately the opponents behave like mindless robots, and the terrible loading times wrecks the immersion. Though it does not prevent Ride from being one of the best motorcycle games in recent years, even though there are plenty of room for improvements.

LA Cops is built on an amazing concept, but ends up being nothing more than mediocre due to repetitive levels, design misses and bugs.

Type-0 is a darker and more bloodier game than Final Fantasy use to be, and for the most part it’s a good thing. Unfortunately the many side quests can make you feel a bit stressful. Overall Type-0 is a game that we hope to see more of in the future.

Sid Meier's Starships is a strategy game for those that really don’t have the time it takes to learn complex mechanic. Sadly it’s lacking a good AI and feels a bit unpolished at the same time.

Mario Party 10 is a fun but very safe installment in the long running Mario Party series. Most of the minigames will entertain, but it is a missed opportunity and plain lazy to not use the Wii U gamepad in a more meaningful way.

The definitive edition of DMC offers 60 fps and 1080p, a most welcome contribution to the game. In any other ways this is a version that doesn’t feel new in any way. The graphics looks outdated and the gameplay comes a bit short compared to Bayonetta 2. It is a pretty good game even today, but it isn’t without flaws.

With a new tower defence mode and a pretty entertaining appearance by the snowmen Valley of the Yetis manage to bring something new into the Far Cry series. Sadly the world is a bit dull, and the story is poorly written.

Scream Ride seeks to deliver the ultimate thrill in the shape of a larger than life roller coaster game. However it is not from the ride itself that the game delivers its value. With Scream Rides heavy lean on simulated physics, the most fun is had in the game's demolition-mode. Blowing thing up really feels good and at the end of the day leaves you wanting more.

The second episode of Revelations 2 offers a bit more action than the first one, and is not quite as good. Barry Burton is a pretty boring character and the setting isn’t that interesting. Still, it is a title that every Resident Evil fan should take a closer look at.

Dragon Ball games have had a steady downward trend for several years now. But with Xenoverse the series makes a great debut on the new consoles, with fun and accessible battles. There is still plenty of room for improvements, but it is a good start nonetheless.

Super Stardust Ultra is the third and best iteration of the Super Stardust series. It is not a big step up from the Playstation 3 version, but the improved controls, better 3d and some added game modes makes it worth a double-dip for fans. If you have not played it before you should give it a try now.

Sunless Sea is in many ways a real stunning adventure, that dare to be original. Unfortunately the pacing feels a bit slow, and the dialogues aren’t that existing. Still, it’s a good choice for the hardcore adventures, that seeks something new.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy Plus is a well made and entertaining flight action game. The only problem is that it is almost exactly the same game that was released three years ago, which means it is a relaunch of a three-year old game where the most notable addition is a higher price tag.

The formula of Monster Hunter is still intact in the latest version. It is not a conventional role playing game with distinct leveling, it puts more emphasis on the progression of the player itself. Depending on one's preferences, the high difficulty is either entertaining or frustrating. The worthless camera will however make everyone unnecessarily angry.

An entertaining, safe and a bit dull conclusion to the Total War-series Roman trilogy. The news that comes in the form of nomadic people and focus on the use of fire is fun but otherwise it's mostly the same as in previous games. Unfortunately it also reflects on the AI, long loading times and a menu system that slows down the experience. Nevertheless it's a reliable investment for loyal fans of the series.

There's not something major wrong with Evolve, but it suffers from similar faults as Left 4 Dead did. Basically it's a title with a strong focus on collaboration, but which fails to vary its concept enough to make it entertaining in the long run. Evolve will probably get better when the players becomes more familiar with the characters. Right now it has a ways to go.

Japanese art in the shape of a pop up-book combined with semi-challenging puzzles did seem quite appealing, based on screenshots. But in spite a wonderfully atmospheric soundtrack and all the creativity the visuals boast, Tengami falls a little bit short. The game is completed within two hours, similar to That game company's modern classic Journey. But what it lacks is a sense of progression and a reason to play. Also, there isn't enough content - just when you think you will finally start experiencing the game, it ends. A shame really, but as both music and graphics are stunning, it is at least a good work of interactive art.

The HD Edition of Heroes of Might & Magic III introduces some graphical improvements but lacks the modernized user interface introduced to the original game through mods. It is still as enjoyable and time-consuming as ever but for those not opting for the Ios version the Complete Edition has the better content value.

Life is Strange oozes potential. The female portraits are unexpectedly fresh, the basic concept originally formulated by Telltale still excites and the rewind mechanic is interesting. At the same time, it is also the game's biggest weakness, because it diminishes the impact of the choices made. Nevertheless it will still be exciting to follow the rest of the season.

Daedalic has managed to make an already interesting game a bit better. Sadly, Blackguards 2 still has a long way to go. Mostly because of a monotonous feeling and a poorly written story. However, the battle system is really good.

Dying Light is a zombie game that doesn't really add anything new to the genre. Sure, the parkour mechanics and the night/day cycle feels a bit fresh, but for the most part it's just Dead Island all over again. And just like that game, Dying Light is filled with stupid mission design and comes with an overall unpolished feeling.

Elite: Dangerous offers a vast and remarkably authentic galaxy with magnificent views to explore. Sadly it feels somewhat desolate with only artificial life. In combination with often repetitive tasks this might alienate some but space enthusiasts. Still it can be quite addictive and will hopefully grow with future expansions.

Saints Row IV puts the pedal to the metal from minute one and offers an exaggerated, silly and entertaining adventure - if you are in the right mood. The game has received a much-needed technical upgrade that improves the graphics and gameplay, but there are still some rough corners like bland graphics and an uneven framerate. Annoying problems, although they do not prevent Saints Row 4 Re-elected from entertaining greatly.

After almost 20 years the first Resident Evil is still a masterpiece, and a must-have for everyone that likes a really good survival horror. However, Capcom could have put more energy into this remake, especially into the backgrounds and into some horrible looking cut scenes.

Scrolls may not be the next Minecraft for Mojang but it proves that the studio still has got a pretty unique way of thinking. The best part of Scrolls is the way that it combines a traditional board game with a digital card game. Everyone that enjoyed Hearthstone should take a closer look.

With Fantasia: Music Evolved Harmonix delivers a great mix of music and dancing games. To fill the screen with fireworks and music by waving your arms is incredibly fun and addicting. Unfortunately Kinect is not always reliable and you will regularly miss notes for no reason. Luckily that does not prevent Fantasia from being one of the best Kinect games so far.

Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is an uninspired sequel that does not do much to change the stagnant Lego formula. The title instead takes a step backwards compared to the recent Lego games. The adventure still entertains thanks to the humor and charm, but TT Games really have to start innovate the formula now.

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris possesses admirable intentions. The characters exhibit a rare diversity and the game encourages collaboration, for up to four players. Unfortunately Crystal Dynamics does not trust their players and serves us a game without significant difficulty.

Captain Toad isn’t the deepest game in history, but it’s filled with charming graphics, clever design and a bunch of fantastic puzzles. The camera is annoying, and it tends to be a bit repetitive after a while. In any other way Captain Toad is a good choice for the puzzle fan.

Pokemon is as good as ever, even though this is more of a remake than a new game. At the same time there are several parts that should’ve been upgraded by now, for example the poor story and the badly written dialogues. Still: just like Pokemon X & Y, it’s easy to spend to many hours catching monsters.

Despite three all-new playable characters, the campaign fails to deliver and is far more restricted than expected. Instead it is thanks to a brilliant original concept and the creative users all over the world that make Little Big Planet 3 shine. With more tools and new characters there is no limit to how grand the world of Little Big Planet 3 will evolve.

An amazingly beautiful and dull adventure that takes the series well established elements and let's you repeat then yet again in an uninspired infinity. Not even hardcore fans should make excuses for this barely done game of bugs and routine work. Actually they should be the most upset. With Unity the series has gone from it's best to maybe it's worst.

Four great games presented in full HD and 60 fps. Add tons of multiplayer options and interesting bonus content, like the TV-show Nightfall. Unfortunately you also have to add some jarring technical issues and an online mode that barley works – and even if it did it’s missing some important options like the ability to play Halo CE maps only. Halo: The Master Chief Collection should be a fantastic collection, but at the moment it just isn’t.

Sleeping Dogs is a fantastic open world game that benefits from the enhanced graphics found in this Definitive Edition. All isn’t well though and a lot of annoying frame rate issues impacts the playability negatively. This remaster is still playable and entertaining, but the normal PC-version is still the best and cheapest way to play Sleeping Dogs.

Disney Magical World resembles Animal Crossing in many ways. There exists some important differences though. Everyone is welcome to the Disney world, but at the same time it's a very superficial world. A big game mechanic is to gain as much compliments for your outfits as possible, for example. The lack of complex gameplay probably won't entertain restless players but as therapy it's definitely adequate.

Despite several improvements the 20th anniversary edition of the classic adventure feels overall as a dated experience. The higher resolution backgrounds still capture the mystic New Orleans-feeling that defined the original, while for example the facial animations are simply awkward. There are a few goodies for fans of the original and the story still holds up pretty well.

Advanced Warfare is one of the most interesting games in the series so far, mostly thanks to a futuristic theme and Titanfall-inspired mechanics. Unfortunately the game feels a bit unpolished when it comes to online battles and because of that it never reaches its full potential.

Lords of the Fallen succeeds in what it sets out to be. The influences from the Souls-series are obvious and frequent but with a few own tweaks. However, the game world is far too claustrophobic and the story fails to entertain.

Sunset Overdrive is a colorful adventure that offers great and fun combat against a crazy amount of enemies. Unfortunately many of the missions feel like a chore, and both the city and especially the survivors are uninteresting. Despite the flaws Sunset Overdrive is still a good game that entertains while it lasts, but it isn’t a very memorable experience.

The Evil Within returns to the horror genres roots and becomes a rather surprising breath of fresh air of action in a horror climate where the players are usually mostly helpless. The game may be more cozy spooky than terrifying but the problem lies more in its graphical shortcomings and the flat story. Likewise Shinji Mikami is still a better game designer than most even when he's not bringing his best.

On the court NBA 2K15 delivers an engrossing and more realistic game than any other sports game out on the market. Scoring baskets, dribbling and even the playing the defense feels rewarding and challenging. However the online experience is uneven and the lack of a true training mode is very unfortunate.

The combination of fighting and music can seem strange at first, but it actually works pretty well. Unfortunately both the fighting system and the music selection isn’t good enough. Still it is a decent game for those who want to try something new.

Skylanders: Trap Team offers a varied experience with just the right amount of depth in the gameplay to appeal to younger kids. Grown-ups will probably get more out of the experience in the company of kids. But then they will find themselves having so much fun that they may even forget how crazy expensive the game is.

Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes improves on the problems of the last game but still has a bit to go. The concept is as genius as ever with the toy box mode as it's biggest source of value and fun. Too bad you have to play the lazy campaign to unlock stuff for it.

Where the previous FIFA installments have been focused on slower paced football and more physical play, FIFA 15 has taken a step back towards a more arcade-style gameplay as well as improved the goalies dramatically. There are no doubts that FIFA 15 is a beautiful and entertaining game however the question is if EA knows in what direction they want their beloved series to go.

Fantasy Life tries to bite of more than it can manage to chew. After a positive start and a fun setting where ordinary jobs is as important as a warrior and mage the game gets repetitive and dull. Fantasy Life is to slow and shallow to be an epic adventure in the style of Final Fantasy, yet to rush in tempo to achieve the same state of mindfulness as Animal Crossing. In the end it's a pleasant but forgettable experience.

After a slow start Driveclub really opens things up and the feeling of ”just one more time” is never far away. Evolution Studios has managed to make a game that is as fun as it is good looking. Unfortunately, the lack of content is a bit disturbing.

The Sims 4 manages to be both the worst and the best installment in the series so far. It’s lacking content and has a fair amount of glitches and bugs. But the new feeling mechanics works really well, and opens up a new dimension that The Sims never have been close to before. In the end, the positive parts are the ones that are most noticeable.

Hyrule Warriors mixes Dynasty Warriors with The Legend of Zelda and the result is a rather flirtatious game of fan service. But it's all in good fun since Hyrule Warriors also remembers to be a fun game with varied forms of action and plenty to do.

NHL 15 is a promising but lacking premiere on the new consoles. Basic mechanics work great and the new physics engine improves the shooting and skating quite a bit. Unfortunately there isn’t much more to do than shoot and skate since most of the in-depth content is missing. What isn’t missing though is odd bugs and lousy defensive play. NHL 15 is still a good game, but it should have been better.

With a low entry price but very few songs included Dance Central tries a new way to find success. Just as the previous Dance Central games the core gameplay in Spotlight shines, even though it doesn’t really bring anything new to the table. If you want a good Kinect game, this is the one to get.

The zombie filled Walking Dead series works surprisingly well as a pinball table. The presentation is actually so good it might send shills down your spine. Another well-made table from Zen Studios, although the art and details on the table make it a bit cluttered.

The Wii U version of Steamworld Dig is the same game that we have seen on pretty much every other console. It offers the same addictive gameplay, has charming graphics and is just long enough. At the same time it’s a little bit shallow and can be pretty repetitive after a while.

Max: Curse of the Brotherhood is overall a pretty good game, with some fantastic puzzle mechanics and a nice adventure feeling. Unfortunately the game is too basic for its own best, and the moments you will remember are few.

Forza Motorsport 5 is an entertaining but bland experience. On one hand it impresses on the track with good visuals and fantastic handling. On the other hand it lacks content and the career mode is very dull outside of the races.

Instead of coming up with anything interesting and worthwhile, Destiny takes mechanics from better games and grinds them to a halt in an incredibly repetitive and monotonous experience. The PvP is all right and the presentation may be gorgeous, but the pretty surface only serves to remind us of the emptiness inside.

Surgeon Simulator is a gross and hilarious lesson on how not to perform a surgery. Unfortunately the, deliberately, bad controls make the game more of a chore than fun. It’s still a somewhat entertaining experience when playing with friends.

Counterspy is a fun and challenging adventure during the short time it lasts. The game looks stunning and does a good job conveying the 60's vibe thanks to an amazing soundtrack. Unfortunately, Counterspy is far too short and the level design comes with almost no variation whatsoever. At the end of the day it remains a solid game with a few hours of great entertainment.

Tales of Xillia 2 is all about fan-service. Instead of adding new areas to explore, Bandai Namco have focused on stuffing the game with a lot of optional material, such as extra tough monsters, side quests and bonus chapters where you'll learn more about the characters. It's all fun and dandy, but after a while the repetitiveness of it all proves to be a bit much. Xillia 2 is a better sequel than Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, but it is far from being as good as many of the earlier installments in the series.

Ryse: Son of Rome is a really good looking game, but at the same time incredible stupid. Thanks to the graphics and the amount of brutal combat the adventure managed to entertain, at least for a bit. If you find Ryse on sale it can be worth a closer look, but for a full price game it’s a disappointment.

Guardians of the Galaxy is yet another well-made addition to the Zen Pinball platform. Although the table doesn’t include as much continent as their latest offerings, it leads to a somewhat more realistic pinball experience. Unfortunately, it also makes the table a bit dull.

Dictator sim Tropico 5 offers a good strategy experience that is fairly easy to get into, compared with many of its competitors. The colorful graphics and music sets a nice tropical island tone and occasional laughs can be had due to the funny dialogue. However, compared with the best in the genre, Tropico 5 feels a bit monotonous at times, in particular towards the end of a round.

Sniper Elite 3 is a fun but somewhat flawed game. Thanks to open levels it’s possible to decide your own path to the target, and whether you want to get there by shooting every enemy or just sneak past them. An entertaining experience that’s better than it should be.

Valiant Hearts is a really ambitious war game that has the most of the ingredients that have been missing in the genre so far. Most of the characters is really enjoyable and the graphics is fantastic. Unfortunately the mechanics are too basic and the story isn’t very well written.

Bad storytelling, an unfocused plot and horrible voice acting puts Inazuma Eleven GO in a bad light. And the inclusion of Fighting spirits makes the game on the pitch seem a bit unbalanced. But there’s a real incentive for recruiting and leveling new players and discovering moves and abilities. An interesting mix of football and RPG that could have been much better if executed with a bit more flair.

But there’s a real incentive for recruiting and leveling new players and discovering moves and abilities. An interesting mix of football and RPG that could have been much better if executed with a bit more flair.

Despite having an interesting premise, with a space mission gone wrong on a desolated planet, the experience offered by Lifeless Planet ends up being a bit lacklustre. The graphics is on the weak side and do not do the varied environments justice, while the puzzle- and platforming sections are forgettable at best. A few peak moments could make the game pass among sci-fi enthusiasts, but I would have preferred a more compressed story.

At first MotoGP 14 on Playstation 4 doesn’t look like a noteworthy improvement over MotoGP 13 on Playstation 3. But after a while the improved graphics and physics are very notable and enhance the experience, even though there is still room for improvement. A great start for the series on the new generation.

At a first glance EA Sports UFC looks amazing but after playing the game for a couple of hours it turns out to be something else. The Career Mode is repetitive and the controls are too complicated. The clinch and ground game don’t work nearly as well as fighting from a standing position. As a result EA Sports UFC fails at delivering the complexity of MMA-fighting.

Ultra Street Fighter IV is the best version of Street Fighter so far. The option to take both of your ultra attacks into combat leads to a deeper and more challenging game. On the other hand it starts to show that Capcom have been making a little to many games in the series by now and for the casual player this update isn’t really a must buy.

Grid: Autosport is a pretty basic and straightforward type of racing game that wants to be available for everyone. Unfortunately the game doesn’t reach all the way, mainly because of a poor career mode and uneven AI opponents. There are a lot of better alternatives for those who like the genre.

It's easy to be hypnotized by stunning graphics in Entwined, but the campaign is unvarying, the music is not in sync and the best segments of the game are also the shortest, unfortunately. Great looks aren't an excuse for a otherwise mediocre game.
