    Teenage girls can have some fun with yet another karaoke game. But for all the others counts: don't waste your lungs with this game. Our suggestion: More Michael Jackson songs next time please.

    Medieval Moves looked like a very interesting game. Unfortunately Sony delivers a disappointing game by its repetitive gameplay and a huge lack of freedom. The fighting is very entertaining and works well, but gets old after you played it for a couple of times.

    The third (?!) re-release of Rainbow Moon says it all: the process is repetitive, just as the game itself. With a boring combat system, constant grinding and some flaws that were in the other versions, Rainbow Moon isn't that colorful.

    Color Guardians is a colorful game. It has some unique mechanics which are quite good, but it demands too much from you. You have to remember the levels so well it's not fun to play anymore.

    Omen of Sorrow tries to deliver a compelling fighting game with multiple characters from horror stories and movies. Unfortunately, the game does not succeed. It has too few characters, is way too easy and it is simply too slow.

    Destruction Allstars provides an interesting experience for a short time. The game doesn't have a lot of variation and lacks quite a bit of content. Since it's a free PS Plus game right now it's worth it to check it out, but if you have to pay full price for this game it's better to leave it on the roadside. Especially because of the shady microtransactions that are present in the game, which give an extra bitter taste to an experience that isn't amazing, to begin with.

    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.

    Final Fight: Double Impact is fun for those with nostalgic feelings towards the arcade halls. Otherwise this game will feel boring and outdated.

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

    Terminator Salvation is a good action game if you are looking for a game with an offline co-op feature. But that's the only fun factor in Salvation. The storyline is far too short, you can complete it within a few hours, and therefore it's not worth the money.

    Even though the game keeps challenging you, it's basically the same thing we've already seen in Candy Crush. Fans of Candy Crush will probably like this game as well since it's basically the same game with a different skin. The 150 levels are challenging, although the game itself isn't that special.

    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.

    Mindjack teaches us that a good concept doesn't always evolve into a good game. Square Enix should really think about all the mistakes they've made if they ever want to create a successor.

    This game is a mayor deception. The God of War games were so epic on the PlayStation 2 but look really bad on the PS Vita. Therefore it's a total disaster. Poor Kratos, he deserves better.

    The game disappoints on many levels although the story and the characters show plenty of depth. The game isn't great and should not be bought at full price.

    Sniper Elite V2 is a disappointing sniper game that doesn't stimulate you to act like a real sniper. The level design is poor and the enemies lack intelligence. Even the nice kill cam couldn't save the game from a poor rating.

    It's not acceptable anymore to deliver a standard platform game and just get away with it. Invizimals has nothing special. It had potential, but the developer was too lazy to make a really big game of the huge universe.

    Teddy Together is a simulation game that resembles similarities with Nintendogs. Taking care of your own teddy bear is fun in the beginning, but the game gets boring really fast. Also, the voice of the teddy bear itself is really creepy.

    The co-driver and the learning curve in WRC 4 are pretty decent, and the addition of real drivers and teams is something that will appeal to the real fan. But it isn't enough to be satisfied with the game. WRC 4 suffers from uninspiring modes, weird choices, strange handling and a damage- and physics model that just isn't right. It’s a shame that this game - once again - doesn't realize his potential.

    The show Adventure Time is funny, quirky and even heartwarming at some times. It’s a shame the game is the opposite of that and just plain old boring. There is too little variation in the game and with a hundred levels; it’ll be difficult to get through the game.

    Unfortunately the game has not become the game it could have been. The only thing that earns a satisfactory is the sound and that's all. Maybe, if the game ever makes it's way to 30 euro's and you're looking for a fun co-op, this one is recommended.

    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.

    Montague’s Mount has a fantastic atmosphere, but is too slow to get really creepy. With a mysterious tone, you’ll want to discover it more and more. However, it has too many flaws to be memorable.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 could have been a great sniper game. Learned from all mistakes made in the original game, one would think a sequel would make up for everything. Alas, that is not the case. The game fails to really stand out in many aspects, such as the story and characters. Let's hope a possible third entry will be an impressive point blank.

    Quite a difficult game, but it still has it charms. However, it feels outdated – it came out in Japan in 1997 – and it can overcome that fact. The voice acting is really magnificent in this game, but that’s one of those spare pros.

    The original Stoked wasn't a bad game at all but Namco disappoints us because of the lack of improvements in Stoked: Big Air Edition.

    What it ultimately comes down to with EA Sports FC 25 is that the game is more of the same from what we've had in recent years from the EA Sports quiver.The game is still plagued by age-old bugs and glitches, still has weird inconsistencies when it comes to gameplay and continues to have a complete imbalance between defending and attacking.

    Shu
    Shu is a game with a simple but strong core. Unfortunately the extra features often don't do anything or don't work properly. Although the game looks great, its story is very short and the controls suffer from some frustrating bugs. Your money could be better spent on other games.
