    Again EA brings you a good title with My Sims Party. The graphics are fine and there is nothing to complain about when it comes to sound effects. Especially the younger gamer will be busy for many hours playing this title, but for the older people this is a nice game as well.

    Farming Simulator 23 for Switch balances between two extremities. The game offers a solid farming experience that can be enjoyed endlessly, but, as it is based on the mobile version, it's also very limited. It doesn't offer the freedom which makes Farming Simulator great. Without mods, limited vehicles and fixed layouts, you're trapped in the base functionalities without the possibility of experimentation or expansion.

    Toren looks beautiful but is not nice to play. It has bugs and the controls are really bad.

    Verdun is not your average shooter, it focuses more on the realistic side of war and teamwork is a very important aspect of the game. Therefore it will most likely appeal to a different public than games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.

    The portable counterpart to LEGO Marvel Superheroes is a lot les 'Super'. Levels are short and bland, the cut-scenes are in horrible quality and the gameplay just isn't that much fun when the whole game lacks the polish and quality that the console-version has.

    If you want to dance on your Wii you better buy Just Dance. It's a much better game than Michael Jackson: The Experience because this one has failed massively and it would cause the King of Pop to turn around in his grave.

    Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is a good fighting game. You will probably enjoy this game if you're a fan of the franchise. But otherwise, there are a lot of better fighting games available.

    Drawn To Death has a great cartoony art style and offers unique weapons, but lacks in content. The rough controls and lack of balance also make it less enjoyable.

    Inversion is a decent shooter with some fun gravity-gameplay. Unfortunately it is never memorable and offers no innovation or surprise, offering a mediocre overall experience.

    Vancouver 2010 is frustrating hard and offers to less for 60 euro. However, fans of the Olympic Games have a game to add to their collection.

    The charming style and the fun battles at sea will keep you entertained for a while but the fun reaches a low during fights on land and the random crashes that you'll encounter in this game. Pirates of Black Cove had a lot of potential but unfortunately doesn't do much with it.

    The more you play, the more it becomes clear that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 should not have been a full-fledged title. If it had been released at a lower price as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2, there wouldn't have been so much going on, it would probably even have been sufficient. Yet other choices have been made and that ensures that this title will go down in the history books of Call of Duty, but not for the reasons you would like.

    Unfortunately this game failed a little bit. There are some nice ideas but they are not well developed. To play a quiz can be fun, but it really has his shortcomings and you have to keep in mind that this game only includes movie related questions.

    It might offer some fun with a local friend, but the lack of an online multiplayer will make you forget this title very quickly.

    Super Pokémon Rumble might offer a lot of collectable pokémon and some decent looks, but it all boils down to monotonous buttonbashing through repetitive environments with a lot of useless attacks. Stay away!

    Bound by Flame isn't the best RPG that the industry has to offer. But underneath the rough edges there's still a surprisingly enjoyable game.

    They game controls fine and it's fun to build a park but the game is too easy. What's worse is the performance and the many bugs. They make the game pretty disappointing.

    At its core, Ghost Recon Breakpoint has a lot of potential to be a great open world game. The open world looks beautiful, but feels kind of empty. The new mechanics are funny, but a bit forced most of the time. Also, the list of technical problems is far longer than should be, right after launch.

    You can see the effort that went into bringing this game to the modern standard. The dialogues are really well done and the graphics look nice, but sadly nothing has changed to make it more appealing for the modern day audience. It's just something that you had to grow up.

    It's difficult to review Kinect Star Wars. First of all, it finally gives you that awesome moment you've been waiting for: controlling and using the force. And believe us, it's really awesome. But then that awkward moment comes when you realize the gameplay is not actually quite that good.

    Start the Party! guarantees a fun evening with its 20 mini-games. The singleplayer is boring so be sure to have a lot of friends in the room when you play this one.

    As a Hack 'n Slash fan you can consider buying this game. Unfortunately the game is a little boring. The graphics are good but the sound isn't. All together the game is nice, but only for a short time.

    Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is better than its predecessors, but it still has tons of flaws. The game freezes often and the loading times are far too long. It makes the game frustrating to play while it could have been a decent sniping game.

    It is too bad that How to Survive fails in so many respects. With an always-ready inventory on your GamePad, the Wii U version of How to Survive is actually better than the other versions of the game.

    Super Monkey Ball is a good game but doesn't benefit from the 3D functionality the 3DS has to offer. The game is pretty short and you should therefore wait until the price drops before you buy it.

    Samurai Warriors 3 proves that not all Nintendo co-productions make up for a successful game. Almost every aspect of the game is a disappointment and not even the great online co-op can save this game.

    Unfortunately EA doesn't provide you with a good game when it comes to Watchmen: The End is Nigh. Only gamers without a high standard can consider buying this junk.

    Shinobido 2 starts out as a fun stealth-game but quickly becomes repetitive in both gameplay and environments. It tries to keep us interested by offering many possibilities and a decent atmosphere, but fails to keep the boredom away for to long.

    Unfortunately, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi looks and plays more like a spectacular movie, than a fun game. The characters operate far too repetitive and technically there are just too much irritations, like constant loading times. Moreover the Boss Battles and the Chasing Battles are disappointing and the Hero-modus has in fact no reason to be.

    It's easy to fall in love with Monochroma's style, but the stiff and slow responsiveness of the controls and the annoying brother on your back, makes it a tough challenge to complete the game.
