    It's a shame The X Games Pass doesn't offer a new area to play in even though the challenges it serves up are great. The X Games Pass also isn't that long. You'll need to find enjoyment in the new tricks to learn, which is fun to do.

    MotoGP 19 is a big step forward compared to its predecessor. The game has a lot of content to keep you entertained. It’s a shame that there are a few annoying bugs that Milestone will hopefully patch in an update.

    The Falconeer already was a good flying action shooter with its very own graphical style and interesting storyline that spanned over 15-20 hours. With all additions packed in the Warbird edition, the game has expanded significantly and addressed several of the earlier points of criticism. If you're interested in guiding your own giant warbird through a wonderful fantasy realm (and who wouldn't?) this game deserves your attention.

    Aliens Dark Descent is a fresh RTS-adventure that stays true to the Aliens roots, whilst building upon its foundations. The squad based tactical action feels fresh, and gets intense pretty quickly when out in the field. Traversing the multi-run stages is engaging, but multiple technical flaws do hinder the game from reaching its full potential.

    Def Jam Rapstar has a nice tracklist that will keep you entertained for hours to come. No longer will you have to be ashamed when you want to spill some lyrics. Def Jam Rapstar is not the best karaoke game out there, but it sure is one of the most entertaining ones.

    PAYDAY 2 is a game with a lot of potential and good ideas, but the final version of the game has a few defects. Sometimes the AI will be doing things which are quite strange. Luckily, PAYDAY 2 is saved by its mods, unlocks and co-op mode.

    Ridge Racer 3D is nice to play, and contains a lot of content. Unfortunately the game isn't really perfect. But the 3D looks good!

    WarioWare: Move It! is a great icebreaker for everyone, regardless of experience level.The game guarantees a unique experience with friends or family every time when played in multiplayer mode. Let go of your guilt and groove to Wario Inc.'s sounds and styles.

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood offers a lot of new content, just like previous chapters for the popular MMO. The storyline and new region does feel a bit less special than heavy-hitters like Elsweyr and Summerset and the expansion doesn't offer any new classes and skill lines. It's not a bad chapter, but it's by far the weakest expansion for ESO so far.

    Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath is the biggest update for the game yet. It adds three hours to the already epic storyline and next to that three great characters, Sheeva, Fujin, and RoboCop. Next to the new story and characters, the bloodshed can be varied in new levels with stage fatalities in a more peaceful matter with a friendship. The only real downside to the content is the price.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a thrilling paranormal rollercoaster with ups and downs. Exploring the city of Tokyo is fun and defeating your first few enemies is a blast, its flaws also become apparent very quickly. The game lacks enemy variety and the same goes for Akito's weapon arsenal. Ghostwire gets a little repetitive and sadly doesn't find a way to fix that problem before the credits roll.

    Even though the graphics and controls can’t compete with its console brother, MLB 13 on Vita still offers a fun and deep baseball sim.

    The worst part about Uprising is the lack of balancing. The weapons you'll get and the difficulty don't add up, making it extremely difficult to finish the game. For those that like a challenge, Hard Corps: Uprising just might be the thing they're looking for.

    Mafia II lets you experience the story of mafia member Vito. Although Mafia II is not perfect, the game was worth waiting for and offers a cinematic touch. Now we wait for extra content, because a real criminal simply can't stop working!

    Crossing Souls is a fine game that successfully does what it needs to do, but it does only that. There is much potential in the gameplay that sadly doesn't reach its full potential. This makes Crossing Souls just an average game.

    WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 does to little to become a great game. Just the regular WWE Universe and the multiplayer aren't enough to make something beautiful out of a bad game.

    The Evil Within offers the right horror atmosphere with strong gameplay and lots of challenges. That makes it extra unfortunate that the story is weak, the camera is annoying and there are lots of bugs.

    Syndicate is a really cool game that shines through its great co-op modes. The singleplayer is great, but the multiplayer is where its at. Beware for an action overdose.

    Victor Vran is a fresh breeze in the world of Dungeon Crawlers. The improved control of the character and the weapon-system gives it a unique feel, despite the generic levels and enemies.

    The Night of the Rabbit is yet another great adventure game from the minds of Daedalic Entertainment. The dialogues are a bit childish but the puzzles and visuals are really good. Overall it's a very solid game.

    Treyarch has done a great job with Revolution. It's the biggest package of content ever before in Call of Duty history and the overall quality is remarkably high. The only bit of the DLC that isn't that exciting, would be Turned. The multiplayer maps are well designed and Die Rise is a brilliant new zombies map, filled with Easter Eggs. Fans of the Call of Duty series shouldn't hesitate and buy this DLC instantly.

    This is a good fighting game. However it's a bit too simple. Real PlayStation fans will have a lot of fun with it because of the exclusive characters and all the recognizable environments.

    If you are looking to play I Am Setsuna, the Switch is the best platform to purchase the game on. I Am Setsuna is a perfect fit for the handheld mode of the console. It may not be the best JRPG out there, but it is a guarantee for hours of fun.

    Concrete Genie leaves you begging for more in an experience that's short and sweet. Even though the game isn't challenging it feels great to play as you let your imagination run wild. With a charming story and great characters to boot you should definitely be playing this if you don't mind the short runtime.

    LEGO Rock Band has become a decent game which is especially meant for children. You can expect another tracklist then usual. The LEGO style is nice to look at for a while, but adults can better choose another music game to play.

    Valentino Rossi is a living legend. Milestone named their next MotoGP game after him and oh my... What a good game. This is very promising for future games to come. Rossi is already a legend, but this game might just become a legend too.

    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.

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 is absolutely great. The Raid Mode is very addictive, and the Episodes offer a compelling story. Some minor graphics flaws and simple enemies only seem to improve this nostalgic experience.
