    Saboteur's gameplay isn't brilliant, but the presentation is just well done. We've seen it many times before, a game about the Second World War, but it's good to see that The Saboteur is original in a kind of way.

    The game is a nice GameCube port and definitely worth its money (only 30 euro's). The controls are good and Donkey Kong lovers will recognize a lot of cool old stuff while playing!

    Castlestorm is a fun game which mixes Angry Birds with a Tower Defense game. The big downside of the game is the time consuming adjustments you constantly have to make to your castle, but next to that it's all good fun.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex is a solid game that meets expectations. The Reflex system is a nice addition, but besides that this game is just not special in any way.

    Besides a subtitle this PlayStation 3 version of The Last Hope doesn't add much. The biggest addition to the game are the Japanese voices and this is the best addition developer tri-Ace could possibly make. The graphics may not be too great, but the storyline, sounds and battles make up for that.

    If you're looking for a cheap but good PSN-title, this is a nice game to spend your money on. Especially if you love to recycle trash.

    Multi-tasking is of great importance in PES 2009, so the game requires some training and time before you get the grip of it. Once you master the controls, the many game modes will offer soccer fans a lot of fun.

    If you are looking for a simple yet highly entertaining game which you can enjoy while relaxing, Mini Ninjas is definitely something for you.

    Although the graphics are outdated, it is still a game to enjoy. People who play the CoD-games a lot, but never played the first part on the PC, now have the chance to play this first Call of Duty game.

    This game is a good footie for the Wii, but because of the lack of evolution and innovation it failed to be more than that.

    Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is a really good game for only ten euros. It contains enough humour to keep playing, especially together with some friends on the couch.

    To understand the controls of this game, it's wise to check the tutorial and the manual first. About the game, the graphics are just fine, but the music will annoy you soon enough and unfortunately there are more lacks which will cause irritations. Despite all this Tropico 3 has become a decent game, but it's definitely only meant for the fans of this genre.

    Even if you have all platforms available, the PlayStation 4 version of Steamworld Dig is a recommendation. The steampunk western world comes more to life with those colorful graphics in combination with a decent TV. The gameplay is still as fun and relaxing as they were when this game was first released.

    With OutRun Online Arcade SEGA has come up with a nice game for only ten euro's. It looks nice, has an error here and there, but the soundtrack makes up for it. Players can surely enjoy this game for hours.

    Wolfenstein is absolutely not the greatest shooter of this year, therefore the game lacks at too many points. But on the other hand, the game offers you a nice combination of shooting with weapons and using the skills of the medallion. Reason enough to buy this game as a perfect snack, before the really big shooters will hit the stores later this year.

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an entertaining game for kids. Lots of typical Ice Age humour is interwoven in this game. The only bad thing is the length and the fact that it's all a bit too simple, so therefore platform lovers should better leave this game on the shelves.

    Road to the Olympics doesn't reinvent the wheel. The core gameplay stays the same, but the focus of this DLC is somewhat different. There is enough new content which makes Road to the Olympics a nice addition, but not more than that.

    Three decent levels, nothing more. XCOM unfortunately doesn't deliver more gameplay additions, but heck - if you want to play three exciting levels, then buy it.

    Fortune Street may look cute from the outside, but it could become a complex game, if you so desire. Because of the several game modes, young golddiggers among us will find as much fun in Fortune Street as the more experienced player. Unfortunately you'll be listening to the same dreadful music during the entire game. Add to that a pretty boring singleplayer experience, and what you get is a slightly above average game.

    Elden Ring Nightreign departs a lot from the usual FromSoftware formula, which doesn’t always work out. From a hasty experience to boss fights you can’t learn from, it can often be frustrating. The mechanics are solid however and it might tap into a whole new audience.

    Gotham City Impostors is a lot of fun to play but sadly offers only a few levels and game modes. If you're looking for an easy to play multiplay shooter, you'll definitely have a good time with this one.

    James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a good shooter that has a lot of variety to offer. This game will keep you entertained until the end. It would have been an instant classic if it wasn't for the numerous mistakes and glitches.

    Trials of Mana brings the old SNES version of the game to the modern age, but fails to take full advantage of modern possibilities. Graphics have improved but still have odd choices like stiff garments. The balance between very easy random enemies and very tough (mini)bosses is off, requiring more grinding than we want in a modern game. All in all, Trials of Mana fails to fully deliver where its big competitor (FF7) does.

    This free upgrade is worth playing and brings the EUFA Euro to your console or PC. Konami has updated a lot, but is it enough?

    Ruzzle Adventure is surprisingly good. The game modes offer a good amount of variety which keeps the game fresh. It's a pity the game doesn't offer a good balance in the letters though, as more often then not, you receive an abundance of vowels.
