    Skullgirls offers the necessary depth and artistic images which make it a great game. The soundtrack is fantastic as well, and the game contains a great combat system. The game really stands its ground within the fighting game genre.

    Fallout: New Vegas has a good storyline and adds a lot of side-quests that keeps you going. It's great to explore the world and we can't wait for the first downloadable content.

    Escape from Butchers Bay is still an excellent title, and it is therefore regrettable that the new game Assault on Dark Athena is not as good as the last Riddick game. Still there is an entertaining section, that makes the total package certainly worth buying.

    Mortal Kombat 11 is the biggest fighter in the franchise yet. The story is rich, the cast is great and the focus on eSports is great. The game is not perfect, with the biggest flaw in the in-game currency. When it comes to fighting, perfection is neared.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 really wants to be a FIFA game, but lacks the same quality and tempo of gameplay. That is why it really became quite a disappointment. The game is still fine, but if you are looking for something more realistic, you should go for FIFA.

    Flight Control HD is a great game that really adds something to your collection. Thanks to the new features the game is a must have.

    The original three Spyro games have been completely remade and you can feel it when it comes to the controls and camera. Luckily it goes unnoticed more often than not as you’ll be smitten with a fairy-tale story and beautiful music.

    Little Nightmares 2 offers a fresh adventure with Mono while keeping Six one of the main protagonists. The game yet again successfully combines horror, suspense, and puzzle/platforming action in a sweet mix, you will never get enough of. The new elements like coop gameplay with Six give some fresh feeling to the game, but also make you wonder. Why is it not possible to play with a friend? In the meantime, the trial and error can frustrate, but allover the game will make you want even more of this.

    Thankfully, the minigames are fun, the obligations are minimal, and the classic Mario Party feelings of frustration and euphoria quickly surface by the end of each game. And really, that's all you want from a good Mario Party. Super Mario Party Jamboree delivers that and a few extras with the Expert options - although they could have been a bit more extensive.

    Billy Lurk is in town and everyone may know it. Death of the Outsider gives you a brand new adventure an although it is a stand alone expansion, it feels like a new game. It keeps you busy for hours and challenges you in every corner.

    This is a short game wherein you explore depths to dig deeper and deeper. It's definitely the best title to download from the eShop right now.

    To be honest, we didn’t quite expected GRID 2. It’s not as refreshing as the first part, but it still offers some spectacular races with amazing controls. Besides that, the multiplayer is of top class level and the audio will make your ears scream for more.

    PES 2018 is one of the best footies available. Its gameplay is addictive and very realistic. Unfortunately the game still hasn't got all official licenses, which is a pain in the ass.

    Split/Second puts up a good show but doesn't do this for a long time. The coolest features are the Power Plays but even they become repetitive after a short while.

    Rogue Prince of Persia may lack depth in its story, but the roguelite gameplay shines. Blending classic wall runs and acrobatics with a Dead Cells twist, it delivers fast, stylish combat and exploration. Hours vanish as you carve through enemies, making this a thrilling, addictive return for the prince.

    Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is more than just a simple high defintion remake. The game is running on two engines, the original CE one and a new one. It's a great way to show the progress that has been made in ten years. In spite of some technical errors and the absence of many original multiplayer maps, 343 shows that it has the power to create next year's Halo 4.

    The Last Guardian offers some nice puzzles. However the gameplay mechanics are too outdated. Therefore, the game is not as good as it could have been.

    Yet again Blizzard brings us an great expansion with a great deal of content. The game brings a few major changes, and while some of them are great additions to the game, a few are disappointments to fans. Despite that Mists of Pandaria is a must-have add-on for every World of Warcraft gamer.

    The Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2 offers some thrilling challenges for players to complete, while also feeling familiar at the same time. The new stages are harder then before, but with enough skill you'll have no problem reaching the finish line.

    Final Fantasy XIII is probably the RPG of the year and therefore a must have for any RPG-lover. The game is very strong, has beautiful graphics and good voice-acting. Unfortunately after completing this adventure we again have to wait a couple of years for a new part.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon does everything wrong, but not in a bad way. All of the clichés and bad lines actually make it a very funny experience. You can almost call it art.

    BioWare has listened to the feedback of its fans and brought us the Mark of the Assassin downloadable content. Fortunately this piece of extra content offers enough variety to keep it fresh. You will also find a great new member for your team, Tallis, who is voiced by femme fatale Felicia Day. Tallis is a great and welcome addition and it's a shame you can't keep her after you've finished this DLC.

    This game is a good footie for the Wii, but because of the lack of evolution and innovation it failed to be more than that.

    This is the perfect time to start with this franchise, as Delta is a lot harder than it's predecessor. There is a lot of new content, better graphics and that interesting magical atmosphere that are all very enjoyable.

    Resident Evil HD Remaster is yet again an instant classic horror-survival game. The original Resident Evil may be outdated, it's still one of the best games ever made.

    The games are diverse and the package offers both well-known games and surprises. The design and accessibility are fine as well. With this package it is no longer necessary to drag the whole game box with you on Holiday. Instead, bring your Switch.
