Bravely Second: End Layer doesn’t repeat its predecessors mistakes, yet still manages to be surpassed by it. A world already explored is not a world interesting enough to be explored a second time. [Apr 2016]

Beyond Earth is a solid turn based strategy game, but playing it feels a bit too much like playing Civilization V. Compared to the classic Alpha Centauri game, Beyond Earth kinda fails to properly sell the feeling of colonizing a strange new world. [Nov 2014]

The game has some interesting ideas, but the lack of depth eats away the enjoyment quickly. [June 2015]

Terraria rules also in console format. [May 2013]

A very good fantasy-RTS slash -RPG with heavy emphasis on the RTS-side of things. The difficulty level seems to be all over the place and the story is quite dull, though. [Apr 2008]

A very pretty and smooth beat 'em up with quite comprehensive character customisation options. The single player game modes are quite good, but what's with the lack of survival? [Feb 2012]

You cannot blame Midway for not trying, as Mortal Kombat: Deception is packed with content with kombat chess, puzzle kombat and a disappointing adventure mode. It almost manages to inject new blood into an increasingly stale franchise. [Jan. 05]

A simple hack slash RPG with a lot of repetition. Still - the action is fairly addictive and the beautiful 2D art creates a charming atmosphere. [Dec 2009]

Metal Gear Online is a fairly entertaining online shooter that suffers from slow-paced gameplay and unnecessarily elaborate level design. [Sept 2008]

After over ten years of waiting, Age of Decadence has finally been released. For the most part, the game lives up to the expectations because it is a really well-made role-playing game that takes place in a world similar to our Ancient Rome. What I really liked were the turn-based battles and quests with multiple solutions. The replay value is also very high but the outdated graphics and interface bring the score down. [Dec 2015]

Galactic Civilizations 3 is too much work and too little game. [Jan 2016]

One of the most refreshing adventure games in a long time full of clever and funny dialogue. The puzzles are much like the main characters: witty and out of control. [Feb 2007]

Mirror’s Edge works like a charm with keyboard and mouse, too. Parkour above a shining beautiful city is a nice change of pace after normal shooters. Hopefully we get to see more games like this in the future. [Jan 2009]

Slow pace, tight defense and new manual passing controls make FIFA 08 the most realistic game in the FIFA series. However, there are still some issues as players are not moving as smoothly as they should. Be a Pro´s online mode is simply great. [Feb 2008]

Trackmania is back! Except it's the same old game once again, only more beautiful and somewhat more refined. Racing online is especially fun and addicting, but why is there only one environment and only one single player mode? The fact that this has about the same amount of content as the free Trackmania Nations is disappointing. [Feb 2012]

A great samurai action-adventure. It is fast, stylish, entertaining and has a good story to boot. What more could you ask? The camera is far from perfect, though. [Feb 2006]

Comes surprisingly close to being perfect. When the game flows, the action is really sweet. The stealthy parts are much less enjoyable. [Dec 2005]

One of the best show wrestling games around. The new control system is very nice, but you still can not break throws started by other players. A proper arcade-like blocking system would not hurt, either. [Dec 2006]

A very good action adventure, which excels in hand-to-hand combat. The fights are tough, but fair. Too bad there's lenghty loading after every death. And there's a lot of dying. [June 2008]

Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall hits the target! Very nicely written, and captivating. Needs some chrome, though. When something epic happens, even a static picture would be nice. [Apr 2014]

Has a solid single player campaign which is fun while it lasts. The multiplayer mode suffers from match-making difficulties but is still a blast. [Feb. 05]

World of Warships follows in the footsteps of the massively successful World of Tanks in converting a slow-paced and complicated form of combat into an easy to approach and entertaining format. Huge ships and the oceanic environments they dwell in simply don't offer quite as much tactical maneuvering possibilities as you get driving tanks and the game doesn't manage the important balancing between skill and randomness quite as well as the Tank Game does, but the special appeal of oceanic titans firing massive broadsides at each other more than makes up for it and the game is certainly off to a promising start. [Oct 2015]

Assaults the rough no man's land between wargaming and real time strategy. The host of cold war weapon systems modelled are abstracted mostly at the right places, while having the fastest mouse finger falls always second to commanding with the big picture in mind and mastering wargaming concepts like recon and use of reinforcements. UI could use more polish and tell the player a bit more, a bit clearer, but still the trip to this seldom seen cold war era is a blast. [Apr 2012]

A modernised Punch Out in a fantasy setting. It's simple, yet quite challenging. [June 2010]

Dungeon Defenders is a co-op focused tower defense game where four heroes try to stop huge monster waves from destroying magic crystals by building all kinds of defensive structures such as walls and cannons. There are also some roleplaying and hack & slash elements so players can level up their heroes and fight enemies with swords and spells. The singleplayer side of the game is lacking but the multiplayer mode is always very fun and addicting. Technically the game is quite polished and doesn't have any fatal bugs which is always a good thing. [Dec 2011]

What we have here is the best Call of Duty single player experience to date. The multiplayer is solid too, though the much-talked re-design has resulted a multiplayer experience that really doesn’t differ all that much from the previous ones. [Nov 2015]

Return of the premier tactical wargame series to World War II is marred a bit by clunky camera and some big UI issues (no grand unit list after ten years, really?). But the game beneath is solid steel, and the additions of new Combat Mission engine good. If only the game would cover more than three months of combat. [June 2011]

A competent, pure arcade-racing experience. No simulation pretences here. Very good in small doses. [April 2006]
