    Persona 5 remains an amazing game, even three years later. However, the additional content in Persona 5 Royal is difficult to reach and could have been DLC instead. For first-timers and big fans, this is perhaps the definitive edition, but it is non-essential for anyone else that has played through the original.

    Ratchet and Clank is one of the most exciting platform games in the last few years.

    Split Fiction was a great game on other consoles and that fact remains true on the Switch 2. The frantic gameplay and diverse worlds run smoothly on Nintendo's new console, though the graphics did take a step back. It's a shame, however, that you can't play the game with one set of Joy-Cons, but thankfully Hazelight made it as easy as possible to share the adventure on another Switch.

    PixelJunk Shooter is the fourth good PixelJunk game in a row. Playing this game is a pleasure for all senses and therefore it's a shame that the game is so short. Developer Q-Games throws a bull's eye with this PlayStation Network title.

    UFC 2009 Undisputed has become a really awesome game. It's possible that you have some problems with the controls in the beginning, but eventually you will get the grip of it. Fans of the UFC will love this game and immediately recognize their favourite fighter. People that don’t know the UFC but love fighting games, will also enjoy Undisputed.

    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is in every way much better than its predecessor. It's just an excellent game in the first person shooter genre with a nice setting. Therefore this game is meant for everyone who's just looking for a little variation in this genre.

    PixelJunk Shooter 2 is a big improvement on the first game. Everything is bigger and better. If you want to download a great game for your PlayStation 3 you should consider buying this game!

    New Super Mario Bros. Wii will serve both new and old gamers. It lacks of new possibility's but thanks to the 4-player co-op, it's still a very nice game.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is the best golf game of this moment, all because of the support of Wii MotionPlus! The accessory creates a challenging and realistic gameplay. We haven't been closer to a golf experience yet.

    Namco Bandai has delivered a good game. We're lucky Japanese people didn't forget how to make a RPG like they should be. It's definitely the best Tales of Vesperia title in the Tales-franchise with a nice balance between fights and dialogues.

    A game starring Jack Black and Tim Schafer as creative director, could hardly go wrong. And fortunately it hasn’t gone wrong. Brütal Legend has become a pretty decent game.

    Madballs is a fun game which is very accessible for every gamer. It looks good and plays really smoothly, it's absolutely worth every penny it costs!

    Although Dragon Age: Origins doesn't bring anything new, we dare to say that this is the RPG of this autumn!

    By means of a good control system, a profound gameplay, and a good looking presentation, the game proves to be a perfect example of how well the RTS-genre can work on the Wii.

    MadWorld is a real beat'em up title. Pleasant if you're trying to get rid of your frustrations, but good for a lot of joy as well. The controls are working fine, the graphics look nice and the sound is al right. What else do you want?

    Muramasa: The Demon Blade is an awful nice and beautiful game. Unfortunately there's a lack of English voices, a multiplayer mode and sometimes there are long trips. But still we want more of these games!

    Dante's Inferno offers an unique experience with an excellent story. It's too bad the gameplay and graphics can't reach that level. But it remains a game you should definitely consider.

    Are you looking for a good game which you can play online as well as offline? And do you like shooters with RPG-elements? Then Borderlands is definitely your game to buy!

    Punch-Out!! is playable for every gamer, because of the easy starting point. The game is filled with funny moments and the graphics are quite good. The game might not be very long, but despite that it's a must have for every Wii owner!

    Red Steel 2 let's you experience some cool and intense swordfights and battles. The game lacks of variety, so long play sessions are not recommended. However, Red Steel 2 is a must have for hardcore Wii gamers.

    Everybody, young and old, can enjoy this fighter. The control-scheme is simple and the game invites you to come back. Unfortunately Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars isn't offering the same experience as Street Fighter IV. However, Capcom delivers a good fighting game!

    Unfortunately this videogame has at least one deal breaking bug, plus (again!) no trophies for Player 2. Other than that, LEGO The Hobbit is just as loveable as LEGO LotR. Lots of recognizable scenes from the movie with new ways to collect LEGO-bricks and things. Plus, Saruman tells the storyline for people that are not familiar with the story of the Hobbit. Lovely for old and young players.

    Do you want to be a rebel? You can in Red Faction: Guerrilla! Destroying buildings on it's own is actually really satisfying, but it turns out the gameplay is quite good as well. You can spend many hours to the online modes. Run or hammer yourself a way to the shop, because Red Faction: Guerrilla is just a lovely game!

    Assassin's Creed Unity brings lots of improvements to the Assassin's Creed franchise. However, this doesn't mean Unity is perfect. Some minor issues stand against a lot of positive, innovative improvements.
