    EA Sports FC 24 doesn't deliver on the changes the name change would suggest. In the end it's still FIFA, but with a few new things to enjoy. Unfortunately that also means this game is plagued by the same issues that have plagued the FIFA-franchise for years like pay-to-win in FUT, weird situations in Career Mode and multiple bugs that have been there since the dawn of time. Some cool new elements like Evolutions in FUT give a little bit of redeeming quality, but overall it's not great.

    A not-so-popular sports game here in Europe with lots of potential. Even though there are some minor flaws when playing this game, this game is absolutely amazing. With lots of game modes, lots of possibilities and everything you can think of that should be in a wrestling game, this game is a game worth trying.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, although not completely perfect, is one of the better installments in the franchies in recent years. A solid singleplayer delivers a thrilling rollercoaster with diverse gameplay and settings. The spec-ops is a nice co-op warm up, but the real deal here is the multiplayer. With tightly designed gameplay, maps that suit the different modes well, a lot of content to choose from, Infinity Ward really hit a sweet spot with this newest installment.

    The Escapists 2 is a great game and there are a lot of different ways to escape. You will enjoy the humor of the game. But it might be a bit hard to escape the prison.

    One of the most twisted and dark games you will ever encounter. It has everything from funny dialogues to the most innocent looking protagonist in a game ever.

    Warhammer 40.000: Carnage is the ideal game for a quick play. When you are waiting on the train, you can easily play a level. The diversity in the toughness of the game is interesting and can get you special armor.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider offers the best game of the trilogy. While the jungle might be a place of death, the game really comes to life with a nice balance of puzzles, combat and exploring. A true ending to a awesome trilogy.

    Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition is a Special Edition and remaster in one. The game had been brushed up to 1080p and tweaked for smooth gameplay. Capcom missed some details, but nevertheless this is a must buy.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a little less with a little more on the Switch. The graphics are tuned down as is the framerate. But you get a few exclusive features like local WiFi multiplayer and motion controls. There could be more in this version though.

    Captain Spirit brings us the prequel for Life is Strange 2. The game revolves around Chris a.k.a. Captain Spirit. You get to make choices that affect the story and takes you through an emotional adventure. If you like Life is Strange, this is a must play.

    Mario Kart Live Home Circuit is magical, but not flawless. While being a bit pricey, the quality of the tech behind these karts can't be denied. It is a joy to race on your own courses, although finishing is always easy thanks to some small technical hiccups.

    Overlord II is an entertaining game for everyone who wants to play something different. Graphically Overlord II is such a strong game that you almost start to believe you're in the middle of a a fairytale, which is of course a good thing. The controls work great, there's plenty to do and the game contains a lot of humour.

    Reus brings something entirely new to the god game genre but still manages to feel and look familiar. It's complex and well balanced system will keep you busy for hours as you watch the different civilizations develop themselves.

    This episode is much better than the previous one. The gameplay contains a mix of puzzles, conversations and fights. Last but not least: you get to craft.

    Want to know what happened to Zoe? Here are the answers, in a worthy finale. Though the story Resident Evil 7 is now over, this definitely won’t be the last time we hear from the series.

    Mario Tennis Aces is a great game which everyone can enjoy. Even for those who do not game that often. It is great that there is a Story Mode, though it actually still feels a bit unbalanced. You can play with a bunch of characters and there is a great deal of content to enjoy.

    Tales of the Abyss is not a great remake because of the poor 3D effect, but it's still a pretty decent RPG. The deep story, interesting characters and great combat system make it worthwhile, though the annoying character Luke and necessary grinding might wear you down.

    The newest entry in the Paper Mario series is an enjoyable game that looks and plays amazing, but it does have a few flaws. The lack of a experience system made us skip battles, and when you get stuck there is no hint system to help you out. This doesn't mean that Sticker Star is a bad game, it's just not what you may have hoped for from a new Paper Mario game.

    Even though the story mode is very short, Saints Row IV: Re-elected is still a really fun game. The superpowers with a Saints Row twist add a lot to the experience and that makes this a fun, crazy adventure.

    Just Dance 2018 is a blast to play for young and old. The newly introduced kids section brings old and new songs to the table for the smaller ones, while the rest of the game delivers a wide variety of popsongs. Every dance fan can eat their heart out.

    Disney and Square Enix have done it again! The game presents itself very well and the Dream Eatersand the Flowmotion add a lot of depth. It's just a shame that the story line has lost its glory and that returning to the same worlds over and over again can get a bit annoying.

    Samurai Shodown is a fun game for the Nintendo Switch, but also seems to be a game that gets old quickly. In particular, the storylines of the various characters who run the same at certain moments can be a drawback. If you are looking for a fun, fast and at the same time slow fighting game that really gets you excited, this is a must buy for you.

    UFC 3 is very nice fighting game, but that doesn't mean it is a good wrestling game. The ground game leaves to be desired and really takes down the quality of the game. Overall the look and feel of UFC 3 entirely is still pretty decent.

    Killing Floor 2 is a fun co-op game and allows you to kill hundreds of Zed with others. Whilst it's fun to play with friends, it becomes boring rather quickly if you play alone. The game also lacks a campaign, which would have been a great addition.

    For the RTS-fans with a PlayStation 3, Red Alert 3 is certainly worth a try. After some practise you will find out that the keyboard and mouse are not necessary anymore , and you can enjoy a fantastic RTS-game.
