    It is difficult to find anything nice to say about Akiba's Beat. It ignores all the good elements from previous entries and delivers something extremely bland and poorly-executed. With so many better alternatives available there is no real reason to give Akiba's Beat a try.

    Although Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition delivers a very complete package, it doesn't do anything new or special. The gamemodes feel almost the same and thanks to that, only the real Frogger fans will be excited by this downloadable game.

    Fable Heroes, a spin-off in the renowned Fable franchise, is definitely worth playing for the Fable fans in their wait for the still unannounced Fable IV. Compare it to a nice piece of music you listen to while waiting for help at customer service. With a high replay value, for 800 Microsoft Points, Fable Heroes is certainly worth your money.

    Iron Front really has a realistic atmosphere, there's a lot of different modes to choose from and the German/Russian voices are done well. The game is not really playable though, because it crashes a lot. Cutscenes cannot be skipped and there are some important explanations missing.

    The only thing that improved since the Wii versions of Mario & Sonic are the graphics. That alone is not worth your money.

    Not everything used to be better in the past, but Yar's Revenge sure was. This game should have stayed in the past because the boring storyline and the repetitive gameplay just aren't up to date.

    In Seven Deadly Sins Knights of Britannia you will be fighting more with the combat system than against your opponents. It just doesn't work and that’s a pity, because Seven Deadly Sins stays close to its source material.

    Alien Spidy tries to present the player with a platformer that's both fun and challenging. There is absolutely no balance to be found between those two elements, however. The result is an unforgiving title that hardly ever becomes even slightly addictive.

    Babel Rising is a very fun game, but it should have stayed on smartphones and tablets. It's a nice game to play for about a quarter, but soon it gets boring. You have to push certain buttons repeatedly and the gameplay doesn't really change throughout the game. It's a shame the developer didn't take more advantage of the Biblical story this game is based on, because it could use a storyline.

    Without a good tutorial, Darkout offers a lot of good stuff. It’s a shame there is no tutorial, so you know what you’re doing. Because of that, it’s a game for a select audience.

    Brave Soldiers is the example of how not to make a game. It’s too simple, the differences between the characters aren’t noticeable and the story is too complicated to understand. Even though it offers us a lot of content, it doesn’t impress us in any way.

    All in all you've got a nice game with Don King Boxing, especially if you are a boxing fan. But you might still have to wait until the game becomes cheaper, because it's not a real winner.

    BurgerTime World Tour is a pretty poor remake of the original. A lot has changed, making this remake way too complicated. BurgerTime World Tour is a great example of why a lot of old games don't need a remake.

    Knack is a disaster game for the PlayStation 4. The game is too simple, too frustrating and is full of mistakes. Worst launch title ever.

    Fallen Champions has some strong AI and has a lot to offer, mainly because every mission has to be played differently. Even though you'll get through it very fast, the challenging missions will keep you coming back for more. It is however a shame that there are no checkpoints to be found during the battles.

    The Tomorrow Children is despite its promising setting a dull game. It's technically a Communism simulator in which you must spend (in-game) money to even buy the tools to get the job done.

    The story of 2Dark gives you the creeps. This is not your typical horror game, but it is more spooky than some of those. Unfortunately, the game is frustrating from time to time.

    Endless Space was so much fun to play that we welcomed the idea of an expansion with open arms. Sadly Disharmony is more of an paid patch with a couple of minor extra features.

    The legend is reborn, but is it worth it? You can go and fight baddies as Shaq fu again, but in a really really short game. The game looks good and plays nicely, but you can only do so alone. And all that makes it simply too expensive.

    Games should sometimes only be judged by the fact of weather they're fun or not. Well, lads, Reality Fighters is fun. It has a simplistic gameplay but it's just fun so enjoy the ride.

    Hearthfire offers you a great home for your stuff, but won't allow you to customize it in any meaningful way.

    This game is definitely made for the 3DS, it has good graphics and 3D is simply awesome. Unfortunately the game lacks innovation. The concept of the game sounded better than the final product has become.

    Pokemon Dream Radar costs a dime, and for that you get a strange interpretation of the Pokemon world. We must admit, it's fresh, it's new. But it won't keep you playing for longer than three hours.

    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.

    Due to it's shortcomings, Rise of the Argonauts doesn't score that high. The game comes out quite good, thanks to it's great storyline.

    Although RIDE offers an authentic driving experience and a good selection of vehicles, the technique, visuals and circuits are quite disappointing.

    The only two things that make this game playable, are the graphics and the sound. Of course its nice for the Sonic fans, but even the fans will get tired of Sonic this way.

    With its incredibly obsolete graphics and technical aspects, combined with inappropriate modern elements, Duke Nukem cannot be called a good game. It is however a fun game, that offers the Nukem-trademark humour together with much variation in surroundings and gameplay.

    Valkyria Revolution tries a lot of new things, but loses the Valkyria-soul in the process. The combat system is stuck between action and tactics and the style is completely different. It's only saved by an interesting story and beautiful soundtrack.

    After a series of disappointing Harry Potter games, Harry Potter for Kinect is certainly an illumination. Not only can you play seven years on Zweinstein in one game, which is exciting, but also works the Kinect gameplay nearly perfectly.
