    With the next-gen version Rockstar has brought us the ultimate version of Grand Theft Auto 5. The graphics have been improved a lot, the loading times are much faster and the PS5-version even has a couple of features for the DualSense controller. The question, however, is whether you want to replay the same adventure again, as there is no new content, nor any improvements or additions to the gameplay. A version purely made for newcomers or true fans of GTA 5.

    The first episode from Telltale in the Game of Thrones universe is a good one.

    The conclusion of the Life is Strange 2 season is a great one. It answers all the questions you have and goes out with a bang. All of the seven endings are emotional and worthy to the season. The epic journey of Sean and Daniel is a great one and your choices really matter in the end. DONTNOD once again delivered a great season.

    Persona Q is a worthy introduction to the series on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is addictingly tough, and the music is unbelievably catchy.

    EA Sports UFC 2 brings the ultimate UFC experience back to the consoles. The game looks amazing, has lot of detail and plenty of content.

    This has to be without a doubt the best cycling game available at this time. The graphics are great and the AI gives you a real challenge. It's just a shame that Pro Cycling Manager 2011 doesn't have any of the real licenses and so creates its own brands and names.

    Legacy is a great addition to the series and the 3DS-library, as it brings the intense dogfights to the handheld. It also uses the 3D-effect to its full advantage and offers variation in the missions. It's a shame it's quite short, though.

    Trials Fusion is a worthy successor to Trials HD and Trials Evolution. It sticks to the same formula of those games and adds amazing new minigames and fantastic new skills to it. It doesn't quite live up to the full next-gen potential, but it is still a very fun game, where you can put lots of hours trying and failing.

    Renowned Explorers International Society is a strategy game of big proportions. The expeditions are always full of surprises, and you are never certain that you will come out unscathed. The game truly delivers a thrilling and enjoyable experience.

    Although Just Dance 3 isn't very original, it can sure be the life of a party. The choreography is excellent and the songs will keep you swinging for hours to come. Just Dance 3 can be a lot of fun with some friends but can quickly become a bore when you're playing on your own.

    Railway Empire is a great game that will keep players entertained for hours on end thanks to the huge amount of content and the way it calms your mind. The AI has some huge problems, however, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.

    F.E.A.R. 3 is a good shooter but never surpasses the very first F.E.A.R. game. The gameplay is very smooth and you'll be playing this campaign multiple times because of the co-op and the different gameplay elements each brother possesses. F.E.A.R. 3 lacks scary moments and that is a pity, seeing how this used to be a key element in the series.

    Pokémon Legends: Arceus may often look bad, but its gameplay is excellent. The mechanics of finding and catching Pokémon feel good and bring a sense of discovery to the game. Changes in the battle system make for more engaging and strategic fights. Some repetitive bosses and a fairly standard story can't drag down how fun it is to play this new kind of Pokémon game.

    9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a pleasant surprise in a year full of beat 'em ups. This is not just another brawler, but one with an extensive skill tree, different fighting styles and a lot of fun gameplay. The game is playable in offline or online co-op and in both styles the game works flawlessly. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing worth mentioning. If you like to fight, buy this game.

    The gigantic clash of game worlds is a risky thing to do and that show in the storyline. The game offers a lot of action mixed with RPG-elements and keeps you busy for hours at a time.

    With beautiful cartoony graphics this game is a must-have for mobiles and tablets. It has an original concept, is really funny and it’s only a few euros. All the levels are different, a fantastic achievement by developer Rovio.

    MOUSE: P.I. For Hire might not generate as much adrenaline as other boomer shooters, but it more than makes up for it with its charm and visual style. The top notch voice acting helps sell this unique blend of shooting, 30's animation and the Noir detective genre.

    This is a stand alone. Nathan Drake is out of the picture, but the new adventure with Chloe en Nadine is nice! It has some typical Uncharted elements in it and you will enjoy it. However, we miss Drake.

    The first episode of Telltale's version of Guardians of The Galaxy starts off nicely with a enjoyable mix of humor and action. Although it starts off slow, the rest of the episode more than makes up for it. It is a nice start to a brand new adventure.

    In the mind of a child this a fantastic game. The nostalgia factor is there and it gives us this warm and fuzzy feeling back to the old days. Besides that, it has a great style with fantastic music and it’s a great mini-game. Unfortunately, it’s only fun for short moments.

    SEGa Ages keeps bringing ports of the old classics. This time it's Wonder Boy, an incredibly difficult platformer but a fun one at that. The game comes as a perfect port that includes bugs and glitches of the original. So you get the good and the bad.

    The famous Borderlands formula is impressive in this new game in which the gravity on the moon makes shoot-outs very different. This is still a special Borderlands game with interesting gameplay that takes more than 30 hours.

    A great game with such a simple concept. It does what few games are able to do: it’s easy to learn, but it’s hard to master. The only thing that isn’t good is that you can’t view the levels before you begin.

    Just Cause 3 delivers what it does best: chaos and destruction. Though the world and gameplay feel monotonous at times, the wingsuit and other new additions are fun. But still no multiplayer, really?!

    Kinect Disneyland Adventures gives you the feeling that you're actually there, asking Mickey Mouse for autographs. Most minigames are a lot of fun and are perfect for children. However, more mini-games and more varied quests could have made this game a lot better.

    The Battletoads are back from the dead. With an all-new graphics scheme and cool new features the brawler lets you take the role of Zitz, Pimple, and Rash once again. The game offers over the top chaotic fights for up to three players. Next to that Battletoads honors, it's rooted by bringing in elements from other genres, like platformers and shmups. The humor is hilarious, but unfortunately, there are also a few weaker elements in the game that cramp its style.

    Vengeance has become a really zombie centered DLC. With four new multiplayer maps, of which only two of them are really worth it, and an awesome new zombies map called Buried, you can have hours of fun shooting. The Ray Gun Mark II is the cherry on the pie, and summed up Vengeance is worth every penny.

    The Division's Survival DLC offers a great new way to play the game, with a challenging mixture of old and new mechanics. Surviving the cold winter storm is some of the most thrilling content the game has to offer at this moment.
