    ONRUSH is a unique take on a racing game. The game has an easy-to-play, difficult-to-master gameplay that is fun for everyone. It’s a shame that ONRUSH suffers from a lack of game modes and maps, which unfortunately makes it feel repetitive after a while.

    Although Anomaly 2 is a sequel there isn't anything else quite like it. The game still feels fresh and its multiplayer is a blast to play. We therefore would recommend the game to everyone.

    By using the four elements you have to transit from one level to the other. This makes the game quite challenging, but also a bit repetitive. The beautiful soundtrack of the game saves the day.

    Final Fight: Double Impact is fun for those with nostalgic feelings towards the arcade halls. Otherwise this game will feel boring and outdated.

    Mandragora is an interesting Metroidvania Soulslike that uses a skill tree to switch gameplay up. Some bugs and repetitive bosses sometimes dampen the experience, but the excellent gameplay is worth exploring.

    MotorStorm: Apocalypse is a fine racing game. The singleplayer doesn't live up to its expectations, but the multiplayer makes it all better. It's one big spectacle, and you don't get bored from a good thing like that.

    Ubisoft did it again. After Child of Light there is again a unique downloadable game. Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a compelling puzzle game, a must have. It has a funny look but it's actually a game with many layers.

    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.

    Destiny 2 Beyond Light offers more of the same for true Destiny fans. The lore is expanded in a fun and cool way, while the new Stasis powers absolutely add something cool to the game. These new powers, however, completely destroy all balancing in PvP activities. Add to that the necessity to own all old DLC's to get full access to everything and you get a decent expansion at best. This isn't the new chapter fans were hoping for, but it's not all horrible either.

    With Sonic Generations, SEGA delivers a decent game. The campaign is very short but well worth your time if you are a Sonic fan. With a little more tweaking, the series will be lifted to new heights.

    Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is fun to play but only for a little while. The monotonous gameplay, simple graphics and bad music will make sure that you get bored very fast.

    Yes, there is a new season in Telltale's Batman. And we like it. Batman has some issues with Riddler. Can you solve his problems?

    Quantum Break is a solid shooter but the game doesn't meet our hopes and expectations. Its story doesn't impress, and the story is rather short.

    World of Final Fantasy offers fans a ton of nostalgia. The RPG turn-based combat style combined with the gotta catch 'em all element proves a golden mix for this RPG. And the hyper-deformed sauce just completes this. A must buy for the fan!

    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.

    Interloper is an interesting strategic game, with a nice graphical style. The matches are quick and are a game of wits, especially against other human opponents. Let's just hope for more game-modes.

    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.

    Daytona USA is a classic game. Unfortunately, classics don't always age well and Daytona suffers from a heavy lack of content, resulting in little to do. The still pretty decent gameplay and nice looks can only go so far.

    Hell Is Us uses its magical setting to show us the cruelty of man in a realistic way. The brutal world has a central mystery that's worth unravelling, while the game shows us how small kindnesses can make a big difference when everything seems hopeless. The combat, while slick, is a bit on the easy side, which can be a bit jarring. But despite that, it still manages to feel good.

    Life is Strange doesn't captivate you as quickly as the Telltale episodic games can, but it has a less linear and more unique atmosphere nonetheless. In about three hours you'll discover a fascinating story that makes you hungry for the coming episodes.

    This is a simple yet amusing and challenging game. There really is nothing bad to say except that the Turbo mode doesn't really add much.

    It's quite remarkable that a monster hit such as World of Tanks has managed to adapt so easily from the PC to the Xbox 360 ecosystem. It's like Wargaming's tank game should have been a console game in the first place.

    Shank 2 has better controls than its predecessor. But it's a big failure that the co-op function has been deleted and the current multiplayer mode isn't all that special. So in short, Shank 2 is a good game, but it could have been better.

    If you've played other entries in the series and just want to experience some cool lore about the world, Yakuza 3 Remaster is the game for you. It's a game all about fanservice, but also the one you can skip if you don't want to retreat familiar waters. If you're new to the series though, this one might not be for you.

    If you already have friends lined up to play ARMS with than you will love this game to bits. Playing solo will, however, reveal flaws like a lack of depth and some awkward controls.

    Spec Ops: The Line has a great story and manages to show a gruesome, yet beautifully destroyed Dubai. It's just a shame that the moving sand is all scripted and that the campaign doesn't last for more than 6 hours.

    Sniper Elite is a fun game if you play in coop. Alone you will really challenge yourself, and quickly notice the game was meant to be played with a partner. It looks good, but could have been better. The x-ray shots keep on being really cool and during the nine hours the game lasts, you will not get bored easily.

    Darksiders Genesis is an excellent addition to the action-RPG genre. While it isn't as polished as Diablo, Genesis delivers a great adventure full of exploration and puzzles to boot. With its main characters there is plenty of fun for veterans of the series as well as new players.

    Minecraft Story Mode Episode 1 is a very solid first episode. Although the gameplay may seem a bit easy at times, this first episode is truly enjoyable nonetheless and a must have for Minecraft fans.
