    The guys and girls at ArenaNet and NCSoft can give themselves a pat on the back. Guild Wars 2 is a beautiful MMORPG. You can lose yourself for months in the beautiful fantasy world that is Tyria!

    Skylanders Imaginators is a worthy sequel which brings a lot to the table. Despite some shortcomings, it is a worthy followup in the popular franchise.

    If you were still waiting for a reason to buy a Wii U, this is it. LEGO City Undercover is an amazing game that fits perfectly on Nintendo's newest console.

    Part two of the Van Helsing game is a great sequel in every aspect. There are more options for you to choose from and the expansion of the skill tree is another plus. All of this comes with a relatively low price.

    Yakuza 0 has so much to offer, even though some aspects are a bit outdated. Look past this and you'll see a great game with a perfect combination of action, storytelling and RPG elements.

    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.

    Football Manager 2015 delivers a solid experience once again. Helping your team reaching the top already was an enjoyable adventure, and this new installment fine-tunes already existing features. Thanks to that, Football Manager feels more complete than ever.

    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a big improvement to its predecessor and so far one of the most beautiful 2D-fighters ever released. The somewhat boring dialogues doesn't change the fact that Ultimax is a challenging and exciting fighting game.

    Trials Rising offers one of the best Trials-experiences yet. The levels are challenging, the multiplayer is simple but fun and the Track Editor is bigger than ever. Sadly the looting and pimping system is not rewarding and the game stutters sometimes.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a good role-playing game with an open world that offers you a lot of freedom. Despite some flaws, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a game every RPG-fan will enjoy.

    The modifications to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire make these games some of the best remakes in recent history.

    Prince of Persia Trilogy is a delight to play and brings back good old memories. For those who have never played this great trilogy, this is the best opportunity to do so.

    SEGA Ages: Virtua Racing is the best remake of the game ever. It feels authentic and looks great. Too bad the game has only three tracks, but then again, the original also did. The game is challenging and fun, but a bit short.

    Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is another fun puzzle game to add to the 3DS library. If you are done with the creative levels Nintendo made for you, there is still the level creator. Add to that the cross-buy feature and this game is tons of fun.

    No Time Left is the finale of an emotional adventure that is told in the best way possible. Never did we have such compassion for a game character. Even after a few years you will remember Clementine and Lee and the hard choices you had to make. An amazing ending to an amazing game.

    Dead Nation is one of the few PlayStation Network games, that manages to look and feel like a full grown retail game. The mood and the gameplay just feel right and the small lack of variation never gets frustrating.

    Was the wait for Metro: Last Light worth it? Absolutely. Does the sequel offer more of the same? The answer is yes again, but it never feels like a disturbing factor. In fact, Artyom's new adventure becomes even more thrilling than its predecessor at times. Metro: Last Light may suffer from some bugs and yes, the game should be less linear. Simply put, however, this is one of the most solid shooters we've played in years.

    Elder Scrolls Online Greymoor is the next chapter in the impressive MMO. The new story is dark, which is strengthened by the cold province of Skyrim and the impressive Dwemer kingdom of Blackreach. It might not feature a new class or skill line, but the new Vampire skill line and the Antiquities system make it worth your while. Add the challenging harrowstorms, new dungeons and the Trial and it's a strong package that we can highly recommend to every ESO player.

    Anomaly: Warzone Earth does something different with the tower defense genre and does it well. You're dropped in the middle of the action and always have something to do. The Tactical Trials are a great addition to this XBLA version of the game. They are fun and make you try something else. A great game, for only 800 Microsoft Points.

    This is without a doubt the best Kinect launchgame. Dance Central makes sure there won't be a single boring moment when you are having friends over. Make sure to buy this game when you're getting Kinect.

    This is the only title that should be in your PlayStation 4 right now. The best game to play if you dig a good story and nice missions to play. But be sure that you checked Yakuza 0 first.

    Black Ops is another addition to the Call of Duty franchise but shows the same flaws as its predecessor. The multiplayer has improved, but a franchise of this stature should know how to get rid of the mistakes from the past.

    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.
