    God of War 3 Remastered is a fresh take on the last game. A lot of aspects have been polished and it all runs fluently. The added Photo Mode is fun for a while, but ultimately slows down the game. All things considered, it is definitely a game all Playstation 4 gamers should own.

    This is the best fighting game you can get for the Vita. It's actually the version that appeared for the consoles last year, but there are some new options especially meant for the Vita. They are fun but nothing special.

    Deus Ex GO follows the footsteps of Lara Croft GO and Hitman GO and does certainly not disappoint in that regard. The puzzles are tough, players get new levels every week and the level editor is promising. Deus Ex GO is simply an ideal puzzle game.

    Pillars of Eternity Complete Edition is a big surprise on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Somehow the developer succeeds in the way the game is played on a controller. And that is a huge compliment.

    Magic 2014 is definitely the best game so far in the franchise and it doesn't get any better than this. Whether you are a skilled player or a beginner you will certainly get some fun out of playing this.

    Bravely Second manages to stay fresh and interesting, even if it seems to go on forever. The graphics and voice acting are great for a 3DS game. You definitely get your money's worth and any fan of Japanese RPGs should give this game a try.

    Saints Row: The Third goes back to the roots of gaming. It is pure fun and doesn't take itself too serious. If you want a cool game that does not involve complex storylines, then Saints Row: The Third is a must have.

    THQ has made an excellent fighting game that will keep you entertained for hours. Practicing martial arts has rarely been this fun.

    It's not good to fans to release Dark Arisen without having the option to download it as downloadable content. But it must be said that this game is such a great role playing game. A must have.

    The First Berserker: Khazan delivers an excellent Soulslike experience that most of the fans of the genre will enjoy. The parry system might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the game still delivers an excellent gameplay experience sprinkled with amazing boss fights.

    After 30 years the game proves to be relevant still. Of course with a few tweaks like better graphics and a completely overhauled menu to make the game feel more inviting and balanced. There even is a new gameplay element added to it! It is not the perfect remake, but one you should try.

    Rogue Legacy has a fresh concept with a lot of humour. The idea of playing with a different character in every dungeon is something that speaks to us. Despite having an addicting upgrading system, the game works better with a controller.

    This games uses the GamePad options very well. It's one of the best launch titles one can get at the moment.

    This is a remake of the original Gears of Wars for the Xbox 360 (2006). Now, it looks better than ever and contains more aspects and features, like new acts and new multiplayer options.

    There is really not that much to complain about. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a solid platformer with all the charms of a Nintendo franchise.

    Anyone who’s waited to experience Kiryu’s story from the very beginning will find Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut to be the best version yet. The story remains top-notch, now more expansive than ever and even better presented thanks to new voice acting. Add a fun multiplayer raid mode on top, and there’s little to criticize in this complete package.

    FIFA 14 is unmistakably the best footie for the current-gen consoles to date. It feels both realistic and authentic and pays homage to The Beautiful Game we have grown to love. It’s just too bad the graphics of the game can’t keep up with the gameplay anymore; but our educated guess is that next-gen will change that entirely.

    If you are looking for a good ice hockey game, NHL 11 is the best game that you're going to find. However, due to lack of improvement, don't buy this game if you already own NHL 10.

    Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is a really fun game. It takes a lot from the previous game but innovates enough te entertain for at least forty hours.

    Three years have passed since the original release. Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen is still a great game after those years. Although the game is a bit dated graphically speaking, the combat and world still feel great.

    Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is a game every fan of the dogfight genre should buy. But other gamers that are not into air planes, will find a very nice game as well.

    You can hardly call Journey a game, it's more of an experience. The images are hard to forget and the music is absolutely beautiful. The only disappointment is that the game takes only three hours to complete.

    Fortunately, Wargame dares to take chances and succesfully follows a different path than other games in the genre. The way you control the battlefield over several levels, like R.U.S.E. did, gives a whole new dimension to real-time gaming. The incredible amount of unlockables you can earn, encourages you to keep playing and set up your own perfect army. Be aware of the chaotic battles that will commence on your screen, as some people's head may eventually explode. Just a friendly warning.

    Even though the story mode is very short, Saints Row IV: Re-elected is still a really fun game. The superpowers with a Saints Row twist add a lot to the experience and that makes this a fun, crazy adventure.

    Disney and Square Enix have done it again! The game presents itself very well and the Dream Eatersand the Flowmotion add a lot of depth. It's just a shame that the story line has lost its glory and that returning to the same worlds over and over again can get a bit annoying.

    Gat Out of Hell is a very nice expansion which offers hours of gameplay. The humor we know from previous parts is there and much more. The graphics are a little disappointing, but despite that it's simply a must play.
