    High Moon studios has delivered a good third-person shooter that uses a lot of recognisable elements from the original 80's cartoon. The game is suitable for everyone, so people that are new to the franchise will have just as much fun as hardcore transformers fans.

    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.

    The new NHL Threes mode is fun and takes up a lot of time without getting boring. The Training Camp also stands out from similar modes in other games. The graphics and weird behavior of the AI sometimes could have been better, but NFL is still a good game.

    The Vita version of Virtua Tennis 4 offers the same modes and options as its console brothers. But there lies the problem, there aren't many new concepts that can be enjoyed. However, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is still a lot of fun.

    Beautiful, both visually and musically, the game is solidly rooted in folklore and local traditions. South of Midnight combines parkour sections with confined battles to tell an engaging story full of characters from legends, brought to life. It doesn't overstay it's welcome but isn't very challenging either.

    The Gunstringer is a short game but it packs a lot of power. The gameplay is simply great, with the odd movement registration failure in between, and takes you on an adventure through a very weird and at time hilarious version of the Wild West. You'll be sure to play this game more than once, considering the tons of unlockables and extra features.

    It's not good to fans to release Dark Arisen without having the option to download it as downloadable content. But it must be said that this game is such a great role playing game. A must have.

    Star Wars Outlaws is a delightful adventure with a charismatic new hero. The stealth gameplay is fun, but the missions do get repetitive after a while. Thankfully the game is a looker, with some beautiful planets to explore as a side-adventure.

    Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition offers the same solid game experience, but as the DLC's that are included are not brilliant, we wonder if the the astonishing graphics is worth the big price difference with the original one.

    In The Adventures of Shuggy you get a a ton of challenges that every puzzler can enjoy. Don't drop the game because of the first easy puzzles, because they get extremely difficult, very fast. Despite some flaws this game is well worth your money.

    F1 2013 suffers from a problem most sports games have: they lack innovation. There is a new mode - Classic Mode - and there are minor tweaks, but that doesn't hide the fact F1 2013 resembles his predecessors a lot. Despite of that, F1 2013 isn't a bad game. They game looks breathtakingly good sometimes and the gameplay is one of the most rewarding there is.

    The tone has been set for the first season of Hitman. De gameplay feels familiar plays better than any other Hitman game. The concept of releasing the game in episodes is new, and we'll have to see how things work out but episode one is definitely a good start. Some could say the amount of content is a bit scarce, with only one fundamental level, but that doesn't take away the fact that there's plenty to do in Hitman.

    Dreamfall Chapters offers a unique experience and contains good dialogues. However, the quality is not as good as the Telltale games. It feels outdated.

    The Ascent provides a vibrant, living environment for you to run around in and shoot at. The world is brimming with walking-talking NPCs and neon-filled areas. While the story isn't really that memorable, it's decent enough for you to push on to the next mission, which will lead you to diverse locations and up against different enemies. The bigger enemies can be a bit too much bullet sponges, but otherwise the gameplay and diverse possibilities are quite satisfying.

    Dawn of War 3 is a good RTS game in the Warhammer franchise. The races and units are well-balanced, as are the maps. Dawn of War 3 only has three races to play with, however, and the graphics are not that good.

    Overcooked for the Switch is one of the best co-op games you can get for the system at the moment. Its chaotic but fun gameplay and delivers hours of joy, while delivering enough variety to stay fresh until the end.

    It's good to see that Electronic Arts isn't just producing one Sims add-on after the other. The Sims Medieval provides a solid medieval experience but fails in depth. It's a shame that you can't build your own castles.

    Is TERA worth your time? It depends. Can you handle an endless barrage of generic quests? If the answer is 'yes', you'll find yourself emmerged in a fantastic world. Even though TERA follows a path that is well known in the MMO-handbook, it manages to lift the genre to a higher level in some ways. One of of those ways is the nearly perfect combat system, Also, fans of PvP elements will find a heavenly experience in this absolute pearl of an MMO.

    Tales of Graces ƒ gives you a very interesting, fun story where you totally don't know what your ultimate goal is. And that makes it exciting. The joy you get of playing will help you through the story, which will end in a nice way. And yes, the combat system is awesome.

    Just Dance 2019 is the latest installment in Ubisoft's dance franchise. If you're looking for a fun and energetic party game, this one is a good choice. Be prepared to face a lot of locked content unless you buy an Unlimited-pass though.

    The World Ends With You Final Remix brings a cool, but chaotic adventure to the Switch. The port mixes RPG with Jpop and anime in a blend of awesomeness. And it is playable by two players.

    There is one huge disadvantage to de Blob 2, the game gets really dull, really fast. That being said, de Blob is an amusing game that can make you happy within a second.

    The art style is unique and it's definitely an experience you should not miss. It takes around 6 hours to complete and is free to play as Game Pass title.

    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.

    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.

    The Escalation mode and the singleplayer are the main causes as to why Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a nice third-person shooter. The game is far from perfect and that doesn't help to make this an unforgettable experience. It's fun for a while, but disappears in the back of your closet soon enough.

    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.
