    Katamari Forever has become a decent game. This is definitely a game for you if you like Japanese games with some weird features. But unfortunately there isn't any online multiplayer option and the singleplayer won't entertain you for long. So therefore you won't play this game 'forever'.

    Toukiden: Kiwami is a decent JRPG with some Dynasty Warriors elements, with great monsters and an interesting lore. However, the formula stays the same and you'll be slashing a lot of monsters in the world.

    Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution is proof the Wii has some nice fighting games.

    Dive: The Medes Islands Secret let's you swim around in the most beautiful oceans. The game doesn't cost much and that is the only reason why the lack of variety isn't as annoying as it normally should be.

    Revelations is an okay game, but too simple a port from the 3DS game. Game technical it’s one of the greatest horror games of the last years, but that says it all. It has the same defects as the 3DS version and it’s too expensive for that.

    One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 is a fun game for the fans of the franchise. The fun is mostly found in the story mode, but the extra modes become repetitive very quickly.

    Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a great game that introduces some new features. People that love rock music will love this game but most people will find that there isn't enough innovation.

    Awakening brings us 3 great multiplayer maps, and one mediocre one, but does deliver the greatest zombies experience to date, making it a must have expansion for every Call of Duty player.

    Castlevania Requiem combines two of the best games in the Castlevania series. However, it does just that. The bare-bones presentation and weird mistakes keep this from becoming a must own collection.

    Lego Marvel Super Heroes gives you the feeling that you are saving the Marvel world. Chronopolis is a beautiful designed city and has lots of content. However, the annoying camera and lack of innovations are a pity in this otherwise great game.

    Dying Light is a satisfying zombie survival game with a few features that make it stand out against the many other zombie survival games out there. Even so, after playing it for a while, the gameplay becomes quite repetitive.

    SingStar Queen is not a bad game but unfortunately it's not a queen in the franchise. Who wants to play this when most songs were already available in the SingStore? Overall, it's not quite the success we hoped for.

    Star Fox Guard is a nice additional game, but fails to stay interesting. The gameplay mechanics are quite original and remind us of a combination between a tower defense game and Five Nights At Freddy's. Unfortunately the levels get way too repetitive.

    This is a decent collection but it feels like it's been made very quickly. But even though not everything is in high definition, Dante still rocks!

    This is a good Naruto game and absolutely a must have for the fans. There's a lot to explore but it must be said that it's a shame there isn't a tutorial for people who are new to the franchise or haven't ever watched the anime.

    F.E.A.R. 3 is a good shooter but never surpasses the very first F.E.A.R. game. The gameplay is very smooth and you'll be playing this campaign multiple times because of the co-op and the different gameplay elements each brother possesses. F.E.A.R. 3 lacks scary moments and that is a pity, seeing how this used to be a key element in the series.

    The hardcore gamer won't care much for Just Dance 2, but then again this game has been made for casual gamers and they surely will enjoy the swinging gameplay that Just Dance 2 has to offer.

    The Secret World is a breeze of fresh air within the MMO landscape. It's mainly the deep story and the puzzles that will keep you playing, but the farther you go into the game, the more boring it gets. Let's hope Funcom can make this game more interesting in the near future and lowers the high monthly price you have to pay for The Secret World.

    Co-op at its best. Army of Two: The 40th Day is great co-op game. Unfortunately, the game fails at other aspects, therefore it hasn’t become an absolute must-have title.

    Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is the 40K-version of the Vermintide games and Fatshark delivers again a fantastic co-op experience. The combat feels visceral and meaty and is a true upgrade compared to the former games. There are however a lot less classes, even though they all feel unique. Some features are clearly removed during production, so hopefully they will get added next to more classes. Fatshark has already released some updates, so the future is looking bright for Darktide.

    Luigi's Mansion 3DS brings back the old classic of the GameCube for both players that never played the original and players that played it hundreds of times. That Luigi is easily scared makes him a perfect guy to play around in a ghost mansion.

    While Princess Peach: Showtime! doesn't offer too much of a challenge and is a bit on the short side, the game nevertheless offers hours of fun. The diversity in costumes ensures that you don't get bored and can't wait for the next level of each costume. It also shows that the idea of Peach as a damsel in distress is in the past. She doesn't need anyone to save her. In fact, she is the hero who saves others, whether that is by decorating cakes or fighting as a Swordsman or Kung Fu master.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a cool game but the weak campaign mode tends to ruin a lot. It could be better if they improved more of the mistakes that were made in the first Ultimate Ninja Storm. The only mode is the best improvement that you will find.

    Quite a difficult game, but it still has it charms. However, it feels outdated – it came out in Japan in 1997 – and it can overcome that fact. The voice acting is really magnificent in this game, but that’s one of those spare pros.

    Once again Twistel Pixel has made a game with a good sense of humor. The game is repetitive, sure, but because of the appropriate level of difficulty you keep playing it anyway. Comic Jumper offers a good experience, but it just isn't worth 1200 Microsoft Points.

    Attack on Titan is a great game, especially for fans of the anime. The game offers fluid, fast-paced gameplay mixed with a great story. It contains enough depth and fans will not be disappointed.

    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.

    Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is brimming with content, both offline and multiplayer online. Even if you are only interested in one of the two, you'll find plenty to do. The port to Switch can be considered a success, as only the local co-op split screen seems to be missing. It's quite a feat to pack this much content into one package.

    Anarcute is a fun little game in which you try to free the world from brain washing enemies. The game is surprisingly strategic, and the replayability is nice as well. Anarcute tends to feel a bit repetitive during longer play sessions though.

    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!
