I Am Setsuna seems to come straight from the classical JPRG genre. The game looks amazing and the gameplay is very smooth. The lack of length is therefore a real pity.- XGN

Famicom Detective Club bundles two games for 60 euros. The fact that these are old games meant only for the Asian market is clearly visible. The dialogues are in Japanese and the games are clearly polished in various aspects. Still, if you like a good story or two and feel the connection with your inner detective (and have a lot of time on your hands) these games scream for you. The writing of Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto only justifies the price even more.- XGN

Another great game in the Harvest Moon series, but it’s a bit difficult for newcomers. Still, people who know the formula will pick it up easily and enjoy it instantly. The only aspect that may annoy you is the tutorial, which is way too long and too boring.- XGN

Not a Hero is a challenging but fun game. It has tons of humor and a lot of graphic violence. Unfortunately it is also linear and only entertains for a short period. Still worth a try though.- XGN

Kazuma Kiryu returns in a modern remake of Yakuza 3, balancing life at an Okinawa orphanage with a new criminal conflict. The added Dark Ties story expands the narrative but doesn’t always improve the experience.- XGN

Aside from the fact that some puzzle solutions can be quite far fetched sometimes, Deponia is one of the most entertaining point & click titles we've seen in the last couple of years. It's very hard not to play this game with a big smile on your face because of Rufus and his idiotic actions.- XGN

Move Mind Benders is without a doubt the best Move game on the market. All three puzzle games; Lemmings, Tumble and Echochrome II, are simply great. A must buy for puzzlefreaks.- XGN

The Escapists is a pretty good 'all in one' game, but it misses a few key things to be a really good game.- XGN

SEGa Ages keeps bringing ports of the old classics. This time it's Wonder Boy, an incredibly difficult platformer but a fun one at that. The game comes as a perfect port that includes bugs and glitches of the original. So you get the good and the bad.- XGN

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is a nice superhero game which, despite the flaws in graphics and audio, still get's a good score because of the great gameplay and replay value.- XGN

Cars 2 shows us that a game based on a movie isn't always bad. Both young and old will be entertained with all of the different modes and cars. But we just can't wrap our head around the fact that there isn't an online multiplayer available.- XGN

The amount of content you'll get in Mercury Hg for only 400 Microsoft Points, is very good. The puzzles are pretty fun but the soundtrack ruins most of the gameplay experience.- XGN

Assassin's Creed Syndicate works like a charm on the PC. The game looks and feels great. There is lots of content available and those who love the franchise will love Syndicate. Syndicate is a very solid PC release and a must-have for any fan.- XGN

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.- XGN

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is a game every fan of the dogfight genre should buy. But other gamers that are not into air planes, will find a very nice game as well.- XGN

Galaga Legions DX is an easy and short game. It doesn't do anything better than its predecessor and doesn't bring something new to the table. It's fun for a while, but after an hour you realize this is a dumb and hollow 2D-shooter.- XGN

Just Dance 3 has a great and varied soundtrack that will get everyone dancing like a maniac. It's a great game, but it could have used some more new modes. This third installment brings mostly just more of the same.- XGN

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory is a great collection for the most hardcore of fans. While the story doesn't progress the plot that much, the gameplay is fun and entertaining for the most part and shows off just how great the Kingdom Heart music really is.- XGN

Super Stardust Ultra isn't that super. It's a fun remake for the people who didn't play the original eight years ago, but for those who have, the formula is the same. With little added extras in this version, Super Stardust Ultra doesn't hold up that well.- XGN

Life is Strange Episode 4 is the best Life is Strange game we've seen so far. The story finally gets exciting and fully immersive, and the cliffhanger at the end is a great tease towards the final episode. It also contains more detective elements, which makes the game more active.- XGN

Trials of Mana brings the old SNES version of the game to the modern age, but fails to take full advantage of modern possibilities. Graphics have improved but still have odd choices like stiff garments. The balance between very easy random enemies and very tough (mini)bosses is off, requiring more grinding than we want in a modern game. All in all, Trials of Mana fails to fully deliver where its big competitor (FF7) does.- XGN

Sonic and friends are back in a new 2D adventure to thwart Dr. Robotnik's evil plans in Sonic Superstars! It even has multiplayer options. Is it any good? Read more about it so you can decide for yourself.- XGN

Snake Pass is filled to the brim with charm. Its unique control system is difficult but fun to try and master. It's a great puzzle experience for both at home and on the go.- XGN

Saints Row The Third Remastered offers the same as its original game but with a new virtual paint job. This, however, does not mask the problems the original game had, which is definitely a shame and holds back the game in multiple ways. Where the game is not held back is in the department of fun and humour, as is known from the Saints Row franchise. The game truly comes to its right as a co-op game but is still enjoyable as singleplayer.- XGN

Gatling Gears is all about shooting. It's very simple, but really straightforward. Gatling Gears is a fast action game and has good looks, however, it's disappointing to see that it doesn't add a single thing to the genre.- XGN

The story of the Director's Cut is slightly longer than the original, and describes the nostalgic feeling as well. Still there are some missing points like a unnecessary multiplayer mode. Fans of the puzzle genre will definitely be entertained by this game.- XGN

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.- XGN

Aviation Empire is an addictive simulation game. Without you realising it, you will have spent hours and hours on airfields. The controls on the mobile don’t use their full potential, which is a shame for a good game.- XGN

F1 Manger 2022 is a strong management game that eases you into the role of managing your entire F1 team. On the get-go, you get introduced to the basics, but the more complex options are for you to find out. Some implementations leave room for improvement, especially the handling of DRS and tyre-choices. The races are visualized excellently. ideal for those new or interested in the sport, but those that find themselves experts might find it lacking in tweaking options.- XGN

Kinectimals is an adventure game for children, but the grown up gamer should take a trip to the island as well. Everything looks very good and plays away nicely. There are a few drawbacks hidden in the menus, but they certainly don't spoil the fun.- XGN
