    Dakar 18 tries to provide that real Dakar feeling, but developer Bigmoon Entertainment unfortunately fails. The Treasure Hunt is fun to do and the idea of navigation is good, but it does not work very well. The same goes for the controls.

    This game is a cliche in every way possible. The animations are not so great, the story and the cast came directly from a B-movie, and the game lacks originality overall.

    Bodycount is probably the most disappointing game of the year. The bad story, exceptionally stupid AI and the bad controls result in an extremely frustrating game. For the love of gamers, don't play this game.

    Eat Lead is a funny game to play, nevertheless the gameplay doesn't function properly. Thanks to the large amount of humor in it, the game will give some satisfaction. Although it doesn't have a high replay rate, it will get you laughing.

    In every review the main question is 'why would the consumer buy this?' For R.A.W. Realms of Ancient War that is a hard question to answer. Yes, it is an action RPG like great titles such as Diablo III and Torchlight II. But no, we wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

    Krater could have been a wonderful game but messes up in the gameplay department. The gameplay tends to get repetitive and the story isn't that great. Krater has turned out to be a pretty weak start of a franchise.

    Kinect Joy Ride is a good racing game that will entertain your friends and family. The steering doesn't always work but that shouldn't stop casual gamers from buying this game.

    The concept behind Xotic is fun, but it isn't executed in a good way. The graphics, audio and overall production values just disappoint and never really seem to impress.

    ESCAPE Dead Island tries to deliver a different experience in comparison to other Dead Island games, but doesn't exactly fulfill that task. The game often gets repetitive and it lacks draft. Unfortunately, it's good looking graphics can't save the game.

    The A.I. isn't great and the lack of offline co-op is a bummer. The online co-op is the only reason you might buy this game.

    Spare Parts has all the right ingredients to be a great puzzle adventure game but never doesn't stand out above the competition in any way. Simon Pegg tries very hard to keep the game interesting with his witty remarks but it's just too little too late.

    Spy Hunter's might have a decent basic structure, the weak controls and graphics make it less enjoyable than it could have been.

    Space Jam A New Legacy The Game doesn't really tie in with the movie. Instead of focusing on basketball, it lets you fight AL-G Rythm's goons in a brawler and a very flat and short one at that. The game can be finished in thirty minutes and even faster if you play with three players. It looks good, but the gameplay is simple. If your kids can't wait to see the movie the game is a good warmup, but nothing more than that.

    Mighty No. 9 is the spiritual successor for Mega Man, but has its own identity. This is not always a good thing however. The game contains a few way-too-childish elements, but the gameplay should keep you satisfied for hours.

    This game should have never been ported to the 3DS. The game is much better on the PC and Electronic Arts should have put more time in the 3DS version. Too bad!

    Battlegrounds has become a simple arcade game. The racing and shooting are very basic and the total package is just too repetitive, causing you to delete the game after a few hours. The game isn't all bad, but it's not worth 800 Microsoft Points or 7,99 euro.

    Sweden is not a country famous for it's nice beaches. Looking at Aqua Moto Racing 3D, it appears the Swedish developer has no idea what beaches look like. The graphics of this videogame are okay on mobile devices, but on 3DS this videogame simply looks horrible. The water that splashes up from the sea makes it nearly impossible to see and anticipate on the waves. A big pity, because the waves could be an only original thing that could have made this game feel different from other 'kart'-games.

    We give developer Rebellion a pat on the back for trying something original in the shooter genre, but it simply doesn't work that well. The story is dumb and so is main character Bryce. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and gets really frustrating, really fast.

    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.

    Syberia 3 is a missed opportunity. The game has a nice story and some puzzles are very fun to solve, but the bad controls, the drops in framerate and the awful lip syncing ruin the experience.

    The basis of Spy Hunter is fine, really. The gameplay is okay and pretty diverse. Graphics wise it lacks strength though, and the controls just don't feel right. We hope to see Spy Hunter in all its glory someday. Unfortunately that day is not today.

    The multiplayer options are bafflingly poorly thought-out, which rules this game out as a fun party game. Although some questions are interesting, Battle Trivia Knockout is an uninspired, luck-riddled and overall very limited quiz game.

    Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is a perfect example of a beautiful story that falls short on execution. The creators seem to have put more effort into the characters than into the game itself. You also go through the game fairly quickly, if it does not crash. The appearance of the game is somewhat disappointing as well.

    It took Konami 25 years to make a second Rush'N Attack game but this isn't what we were waiting for. The gameplay is very repetitive and the only strenghts of Ex-Patriot are its nice graphics. Definitely not worth your money.

    Everything about History: Legends of War feels like a game that should have been released five years ago. The graphics are dated, menu's are big and ugly, and the lack of a minimap make the end of every battle a chore. Only pick this game up if you are is desperate need for a tactical WWII game, and even if that's the case you should try to love science fiction and play XCOM: Enemy Unknown instead.

    Although the game is a good try, it does not accomplish what you expect. Only real RTS-gamers should consider buying this title.

    Because of the bad gameplay and graphics is How To Train Your Dragon not a special game. It's a better idea to spend your money on a ticket to see the movie version in a cinema.

    Halo: Spartan Assault brings the Halo universe once again back on the Xbox 360, but in a different way as you are used to see the franchise. This top-down shooter is an enjoyable journey through the world of the Spartans. However, it is a very short adventure. Too short in our opinion.

    Sacred 3 is (sorry for our language) a big f you when it comes to the fans. This is not a real Sacred game, this is a repetitive and boring game. Keen Games, you have been way too lazy on this one.
