    Contrast could have been a great game, but it feels too rushed. The controls are stiff and the platform elements aren´t that challenging. And we aren´t even talking about the countless bugs we found in the 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.

    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.

    Lost Sea is lost at sea, as the game is repetitive, has no save system and makes you backtrack the island, which all look the same, all the time. The colourful environments and the challenges make up a little, but overall it's not a good experience.

    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.

    Rad
    RAD is a cool game on paper. Unfortunately the fact is that the game falls short on a lot of areas. The worlds are a bit too small, lack diversity and cleared within a few hours. Still it's a fun game to try in between the big titles of the fall.

    Immortal Unchained could have been a great attempt to get its name between action-RPG’s as Dark Souls and The Surge. However, adding guns to the well-known formula didn't save the game from having way too many technical and balance problems during release.

    It seems Telltale is leaning on former glory by releasing as many games as they can. This does affect the quality of their games, as is unfortunately shown in The Walking Dead Michionne. Quantity over quality, in this case.

    What should've been a nice RPG, turned out to be a mediocre, monotonous game. The battles can be spectacular, but the lack of strategy makes it somewhat redundant. There couldn't be a better anime to base an RPG on, but the way the story is told is bland and can even be irritating at times.

    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.

    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.

    As a player, you would expect a survival horror game but it's nothing more than a normal shooter. But there are better shooters available. ACM contains bugs and fails on the graphical aspects. Not worth a buy.

    It seems like developer Milestone just didn't listened to feedback fans of the series provided. As a result, the new WRC disappoints. The rally game lacks an original idea. It wants to be DiRT, but isn't. A budget title according to us.

    Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef looks good at a glance. The graphic style is one to love and the humor is on par. The game only suffers from framedrops and crashes, that force you to play entire parts all over again. Besides that, the game offers a brainless gameplay for up to four players. you can play online or offline as you wish, unlock new weapons and wreck utter chaos with them. Still, for 20 euros a game with hard crashes feels a bit too expensive.

    Earthlock Festival of Magic tries to be a homage to the old school JRPGS. It succeeds in that with its instinctive fighting system, but fails desperately to keep it fresh. Earthlock is everything but magical.

    In essence, Ridge Racer Vita is a pretty fun racer with some interesting concepts. It is sold for a far too high price and with far too little content however, seriously holding back the game's potential.

    The idea is nice, but the implementation does not deserve a high mark. If you are a fan of tower defense games, then you can try the game for free and play some levels. When you like it, then you can purchase the full game for € 2.99.

    3 on 3 NHL Arcade doesn't offer you enough to call itself a complete game. EA should add this game to a real NHL game, so you can spend your money on better titles.

    Risk System is a shmup that tries to be original but does that in a bad way. The shooting is automatic which eliminates 90 percent of the fun instantly. Besides this, you only need to evade enemies. The difficulty is very high, but the game never challenges you to try again. There are a few special attacks that make things better but still it is not really fun to play. Also, the game lacks a co-op mode which means you have to go through this all by yourself. Let's just say there are way better shmups.

    A tactical Warhammer 40K game that is true to its board game origins, offering a deep and intriguing storyline with many possible tactical choices, and where the clock is omnipresent. The game offers a lot of atmosphere, only marred by its current buggy state. If these bugs can be squashed postrelease, the game is a treat for the fans of the tactical genre, although maybe a bit on the easy side.

    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.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon is not a game we could recommend. The gameplay is boring and way too short. You're better off picking up Transformers: War for Cybertron again for a much more pleasant experience.

    Thanks to a clunky camera and a very dated system this remake of Onimusha doesn't hold up. It's even apparent in the unskippable cutscenes. The atmosphere is great, but that's about it.

    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.

    Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime combines average level design, bad AI and repetitive gameplay. You will probably be happy when you see the credits.

    It's sad to see that Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga hasn't become a good game. The graphics may look nice but in the end the gameplay will leave you disappointed.
