    It is a pity that the game has not been given a newer jacket, because the appearance due to the graphics is now not completely up to date. But if you play long enough, the jacket secretly fits like a glove and you have a smile on your face non-stop when you play Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition and that's ultimately what counts!.

    If you look at Crysis on the consoles as a standalone downloadable game, you will love the excellent gameplay and the great graphics. But if you compare this game to the original Crysis on PC, you'll be dissapointed. There's absolutely no improvement made over the last four years and the game is stripped down from all its extras.

    Are you looking for a RPG which offers something totally different than Final Fantasy XIII for example? Well, if you don't have any problems with a difficult and extensive gameplay system, then Resonance of Fate is your game to buy.

    The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a must-play for any old school gamer, especially with two or three other people. Don't expect any licensed games, fancy options or a great online experience though.

    Pigsy's Perfect 10 came out nicely and is one of the best content packages that have been released in 2010, partly due to the new gameplay style and the addition of 3D. And all that for only 800 MS Points or 9.99 euros.

    The Tiny Bang Story has a ton of puzzles and a great atmosphere. You can't deny that a lot of love has been put into this game. One of our few major gripes however is that you will notice there's a lack of variety, as you progress through this pretty short game. If you can look past this matter, you will find an absolutely charming point and click game that you may fall in love with.

    Is this a game? Yes, but totally different than you would expect. There isn't a lot of action involved, in stead you are puzzling all the time. The game sometimes lack variety, nevertheless the experience and story are very interesting.

    With Eyepet you become the owner of a funny animal, that looks really good and works fine gameplay wise. But it's definitely not a replacement for your 'real' pet.

    Headmaster VR gives you a new interesting way of training in heading a football. The ball's movement and timing of the headers is quite realistic. Add some humor to the game and you have a really fun game that will keep you busy for a while.

    While XCOM is a giant in the turn-based strategy genre, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified has trouble keeping up with most modern third-person shooters. It's not one of the best shooters out there, but it is one of the most tactical and challenging ones. Gamers looking for action, strategy and real consequences would do well to check out this flawed, yet very rewarding game.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider combines traditional Tomb Raider gameplay with some spectacular action. The AI is good and the game looks great. Yet you still get the feeling of 'been here, done that' whilst playing the game. It's an enjoyable game nonetheless.

    Quantum Break is a solid shooter but the game doesn't meet our hopes and expectations. Its story doesn't impress, and the story is rather short.

    The balance in Gratuitous Tank Battles is spot on and the A.I. is very good. It's possible to create your own maps, which is always a good thing. It's just a shame that there isn't a multiplayer mode to test your skills against others.

    Rocket League has finally arrived on Xbox One. Unfortunately there are no groundbreaking extras in this version. But the game is still very fun to play.

    Wonderbook is great ‘game’ for kids, but for adults it’s too short and too easy. Children will enjoy the unique atmosphere of the game, the great story and the humour.

    With Sonic Generations, SEGA delivers a decent game. The campaign is very short but well worth your time if you are a Sonic fan. With a little more tweaking, the series will be lifted to new heights.

    Kings Quest chapter 2 delivers a wonderful and exciting story. Unfortunately the puzzles aren't as exciting as they used to be and it still contains a lot of backtracking. Nonetheless Kings Quest remains a cool adventure game.

    The Cave is a nice game and worth it to play because of the good puzzles. You definitely need to be patient to solve all.

    Definitely worth a playthrough if you are into great stories. Gameplay is fun, but you will spend a little too much time in court in one go. Overall a really charming game.

    So is Mario & Luigi: Brothership a must-have? Definitely. But only if you like turn-based battles and have the patience of a saint. If you want to get straight into the action, deep puzzles and that sort of thing, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is not for you. But us? Well, we recommend it. Teamwork makes the dream work!

    To be honest, we didn’t quite expected GRID 2. It’s not as refreshing as the first part, but it still offers some spectacular races with amazing controls. Besides that, the multiplayer is of top class level and the audio will make your ears scream for more.

    Episode 6 of the Minecraft Story Mode series holds up surprisingly well compared to the other released episodes. A refreshing episode which leaves us hoping the next two episodes will be equally as entertaining.

    Annihilation offers exactly the same as the last two map packs: great maps, but little innovation. Those who are just looking for some new terrain, will be pleased though. Those who look for a new experience, won't.

    The last tactical RPG from Tomohiko Deguchi deserves to be explored thoroughly, thanks to its variety of situations and the deep gameplay.

    Warlock II: The Exiled mixes several elements like magic, combat and city building is an interesting way. It makes the game complex and deep and should be at least tried by fans of the genre.

    DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods Part Two is a great finale story-wise, but when it comes to gameplay it is rather disappointing. The few new enemies and mechanics feel shallow and the actual final boss fight is a flop compared to what we've gotten in Eternal and the previous installment of DOOM. So just like Doomguy, we'll patiently have to wait until we can get going again because there's an itch that needs scratching.
