    Sly is back and we applaud that, kind of. The game is outdated, too simple and too childish. It’s a good deal that you can buy the PS3 and Vita version for the same price, so that offers twice the amount of fun.

    El Shaddai offers a unique experience trough fantastically weird environments, accompanied by beautifully fitting music. Along with the solid gameplay it makes for a great game, though it is slightly pestered by a lack of variation and camera issues.

    The season finale of Telltale's Game of Thrones has its moments, but the story of Gared is disappointing as there are some game-breaking glitches. However, the overall impact of the choices is very good and may give us a good glimpse for the next season.

    Hyper Breaker Turbo is a nice new variety on the old-school game Breakout. Unfortunately the Classic theme is a bit boring and the Doodle one a bit too chaotic, but with the Neon one we had loads of fun.

    Even though Cubetractor is a very solid game and a nice mix of different genres with a little twist, the retro graphics of this game and the accompanying music start to bore very easily.

    It might be a little bit strange to bring out a Rock Band game that focuses only on Green Day. The game might lack some innovation, but proves that the Rock Band formula still works great.

    Road Not Taken is a pretty challenging puzzle game that especially fans of roguelike games will love. It is too bad that dying is often not in your own control.

    The new Call of Juarez feels like an ode to the Wild Wild West. Although it doesn't bring anything new to the table, it has some pretty amazing shoot-outs and a few impressive Lucky Luke-like surroundings.

    For short periods of time escapeVektor is a great game. The more time you invest in playing however, the more you see the flaws.

    Ode
    Ode is a short but enjoyable ride. Playing as Joy while making your own background tune is both fun and relaxing. Although the game only lasts around two hours, you will be intrigued from start to finish.

    Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition captures what makes the original game great, however, it also constantly reminds us that it isn't as great as its older brother. All the upgrades can't hide that the game is outdated, but it's still extremely addictive and fun to play.

    Despite the low price of this downloadable content, it isn't really worth its money. Yes, the DLC contains new enemies and weapons but they aren't special at all.

    This first episode of the new Dontnod trilogy story is a bit of a slow starter, but sets a beautiful scene of little-town Alaska where twins Tyler and Alyson grew up. The game brings everything we expect from a Dontnod game: exploration, tough decisions and puzzles combined with the supernatural and more than one complex and difficult relationship.

    What used to be an exclusive PC game, now is a great title for the Nintendo 3DS. NightSky delivers when it comes to dish up an array of levels that give you great puzzle experiences. It is an ideal game to play when you’re on your way to school or work!

    No More Heroes is finally back with its third part and it's a typical game for the franchise. The boss fights are insanely good, the humor is black and over-the-top and the whole game oozes with style. The return of the boring open world is a mystery however and not every joke is super-effective. If you can't wait to put yourself in the shoes of Travis Touchdown again, however, you can't miss No More Heroes III.

    Silver Lining is a great finale to the Spider-Man DLC thanks to the story. It's funny and action-packed that's all the better thanks to the great gameplay the game is known for. Some side quests are repetitive, but the ones that aren't make up for it.

    Unmechanical Extended is a fun game, but the Extended version offers nothing new. Graphically it's a unique game and the gameplay is great, but there is no real challenge. Still it is worth buying.

    What happens when you mix a modern variant of Space Invaders with your own music track list? Then you'll get Symphony. This colorful, but chaotic game will be a fun experience for those who like their game to random generate levels around their own music. From Chopin to Pantera to The Rolling Stones: be creative! Unfortunately, Symphony is rapidly becoming a broken record, which makes this title perfectly suited for shorter play sessions.

    Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a very decent arcade game but will only hold you in its grasp for a few hours. It's a fun game and a great tribute to the original game that appeared on the SEGA DreamCast.

    Alice: Madness Returns is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This game may look honest and cute, but it's cruel and bloody. Alice takes you to an another unforgettable experience in Wonderland. And if you didn't remember the first experience, then you get the opportunity to play the first game for free. Buy it, please.

    The new installment of the LEGO Star Wars franchise has turned out to be a good game. Every aspect has been improved but you'll often find yourself lost, not knowing what to do because of the unclear mission objectives.

    Loads of blood and body parts are flying around from the beginning until the end of the game. Despite the errors, the game looks very decent and plays fine. Before you know it, you're playing for hours and don't want to stop. This game is a must have for every action gamer!

    NBA Jam meets most of its expectations.The game is very entertaining however it must be said that this should have been a downloadable game. The game just doesn't feel like a full retail game but remains amusing nonetheless.

    Reus is a great game that is trying to make a transition to the console. Though it has amazingly addictive gameplay and visuals, the game can be too complex for beginners and lacks decent controls.

    Total War Arena is a very different game compared to other Total War-games, but with its fast and tactical gameplay and ten versus ten players it's a good game in its own right. Unfortunately, it's near impossible to keep playing for free and leaves a sour taste.

    Evil West is a game like Shadow Warrior 2, but with less flair. The game let's you enjoy co-op action with up to two players, killing vampires and other meanies. But is misses something to make it memorable or even more than an in between. Still, if you like crazy games that let you beat vampires into pulp, this is a good suggestion for the budget bin.

    Evoland 2 is in all means the successor to Evoland. The game is isn't as straightforward, it takes a lot longer to beat and throws in multiple genres to mix it up. Everyone who loves retro games is gonna love Evoland 2.

    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.

    Ghost 'N Goblins is back! The arcade classic looks great in its new style and plays just like the old days. It challenges you and makes you die a lot before you get somewhere. This time Capcom mixed elements from two games into one really great resurrection which you can play together. The biggest downside is that the game is somewhat short. In just a few hours you can reach the end of run one (of two needed).
