    Joe Danger offers a fun ride through well designed and beautiful levels. It won't be a quick ride however, as the game has a high replay value. Still, you might get bored with doing the same stunts over and over again.

    This one is a must buy for kids, it's the ultimate RPG for our younger gamers. Furthermore the game has a whole new element: the portal of power. For the first time one can put little characters on the portal and play with them inmediately in the game.

    A great retro throwback and a amazing way to start the birthday of Mega Man. The mix of Mega Man gameplay and Street Fighter locations, music and characters works great, and if you are a fan of either one of the series there is something to love in SF X MM. Because the game is free there is absolutely no reason to not try this game.

    Shadowbringers is the most balanced add-on for Final Fantasy XIV yet. The DLC makes a few missteps, but the magic of the new story and areas make up for it. The adjustments to the game invite new players while the new content entertains the veterans.

    Darksiders Genesis brings a new perspective to the franchise. The fourth horseman is not alone. He brought his brother War for some co-op fun! The game is the most fun together, chopping up enemies and solving the puzzles. But alone you can navigate through hell and the story as well. The levels are not that special, but the fighting makes up for it. There are tons of moves and skills to unlock to keep you playing way beyond the 15 hours the story takes to complete.

    11-11: Memories Retold tells a beautiful story with multiple endings and is a must-play for anyone that loves a story-based game. The story might be a short one but it holds some amazing voice-acting. It's a shame the style doesn't quite work though.

    They newest edition of FIFA is certainly a nice soccer game to play. However, it is not really necessary if you already bought FIFA 14. Nevertheless, FIFA World Cup Brazil is on its best: smooth gameplay and plenty of content to entertain you.

    A solid second DLC with better level design and richer storytelling than Dragon of the North. Enemies could have been less generic, but hey, Sanada Yukimura makes up a big deal for that.

    Halo 5 Guardians is a great new installment in this massive series. The game mixes old and new elements resulting in an awesome gaming experience. However, the lack of couch co-op makes it less fun, and our iconic hero Master Chief seems to be a background character.

    Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident brings you hours of puzzling. The puzzles are challenging and are complimented by atmospheric images and sounds. The Malgrave Incident is one of this years better puzzling games.

    Ni No Kuni 2 Revenant Kingdom isn't as good as the original, but it's still an extraordinary RPG with beautiful visuals and a heartbreaking story about a boy who wants a world without war.

    The Side Order DLC adds an interesting new mode to Splatoon 3. The Tower of Order is surprisingly challenging and the gameplay is diverse with color chips to change your playstyle. However, we would have liked to see some more variation in challenges and boss fights, which makes the randomized floors feel the same a bit too quickly. For the price however, Side Order is a must-have DLC for fans of Splatoon 3.

    Project Zero 2: Wii Edition has a good amount of scary moments and is better than it was on the other consoles. The graphics are very nice and every horror fan should get this. It's a shame however that things can get a bit repetitive after a while.

    400 Days is a good introduction to five all new characters. Telltale delivers the same amazing storytelling that makes you want to move to the edge of your seat. 400 Days is a short but immersive way to get gamers ready for The Walking Dead: Season 2.

    With Lollipop Chainsaw, Suda 51 has once again found a great mix between fun, varied gameplay and tons of humor. The action might not really stand out and the game has its issues, but it's a great, fun ride.

    Kinectimals is an adventure game for children, but the grown up gamer should take a trip to the island as well. Everything looks very good and plays away nicely. There are a few drawbacks hidden in the menus, but they certainly don't spoil the fun.

    Star Trek offers one of the most exciting VR experiences to date. Flying your own ship feels exciting and fun, especially when playing with friends. Playing in co-op is the way to play, and mostly hides the fact that the content can get repetitive.

    We go back to the hardcore fantasy and the Minion class dragons are awesome! The single-player is a little short, but the unique cards and play style make up for it.

    This tower defense game is an addictive one. The HD-graphics are nice, but may not really be necessary in this cartoony style. The tutorial is very clear, the powerups are very simpel but work out great and Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD is in one word a very worthwhile download on the PS Vita.

    This game is extremely comprehensive in its content. There were great expectations for this new game in the Total War series and developer The Creative Assembly knew that quite well. With enormous battles the game is replayable over and over again.
