    Your first moments on Mars might be filled with doubt and confusion. But when you see through the dust storm and see the possibilities of Surviving Mars you will stick around for many hours to come.

    LEGO Batman 3 is not a whole new concept but it is a nice co-op game. Not only for children, but also adults can have a good time with this title. It's just fun.

    The controls of this game are working well, although at first you have to practice a little. Wii MotionPlus is supported but the difference isn't groundbreaking. Fortunately Virtua Tennis 2009 from itself is already a strong game.

    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.

    NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a great game for anyone who loves over-the-top arcade basketball games. It is great fun even though it's a grind without using microtransactions.

    Rise Of Iron offers players enough new content to stay interested. The new PvE missions, strikes, and raid are fun to play through. If you're into Destiny, Rise Of Iron is definitely worth your while.

    Hybrid is a nice multiplayer game for the Xbox Live Arcade. There's a war between the Variants and the Paladins. It's up to you to fight with one of them and to beat the other. Unfortunately the game doesn't have a single player.

    When a game is delayed for a long time, it usually doesn't bode well. But Dambuster Studios has delivered a strong zombie-slayer in Dead Island 2, with a lot of content, loads of weapons and anatomically correct zombies. It does have some technical issues, but that doesn't stand in the way of fun.

    Earthworm Jim is not the superhero we used to adore as a child any more. This remake has almost nothing new to offer and is not innovative enough to bring Earthworm Jim back to his former glory.

    Eagle Flight could be the best PlayStation VR game out there. The controls are great and the graphics could have been stolen from a painting. If only Eagle Flight had more multiplayer content.

    WWE 2K16 is a game which is full of content. Unfortunately it also contains a lot of bugs and the rivalry system doesn't add anything. The game features a good amount of modes, but these are only fun if you know how the game works.

    With the addition of HD graphics, SoulCalibur II delivers us a great fighting game. It’s a shame however that there is literally nobody online, so you’ll playing the single player over and over. This title deserves more people online, so that we can kick other peoples asses online!

    Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 The Black Order is the ultimate cross-over for every fan and gamer at heart. The simple, but fun gameplay is challenging and the roster of characters is by far the best point here. It's a solid dungeon crawler, with minor flaws.

    Grand Slam Tennis 2 is a pretty decent tennis game. The controls aren't that well-executed, but despite of that the game offers good old simple fun.

    About a year after the original release for the PC, console users may now enjoy Vermintide as well. The game is most enjoyable with 3 others, as the bot's AI leaves a lot to be desired. If you are into co-op and like a challenge, this is for you.

    The Surge is a fun and challenging role playing game with mechanics known from Dark Souls. Its world looks beautiful, and the looting and crafting system gives the player a lot of freedom. All in all, The Surge is a fun game.

    Worms Clan Wars is boring and repetitive. Though, the game still has its charm with its humor and the Play, Create, Share principle.

    Gas Guzzlers Extreme is an action-packed, fast paced racing game with insane combat features. The game features a variety of cars, from humble superminis, to full on giant yank tanks! The player starts with a low performance vehicle and gradually works their way up by earning money through a series of uniquely challenging races.

    Katrielle's adventure makes your brain work for progress on the Switch. With 40 new puzzles the game is the largest Layton game yet. The game is ported fantastically for the Switch and has never looked as great as this before. A definite must buy.

    The fourth episode of Telltale Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the best episodes of the series yet. Your choices have an impact on the story and with an epic killer track by Queen, you'll get to the end in no time.

    Far Cry 6 is a good addition to the beloved shooter franchise thanks to great gunplay and stunning visuals. It's a shame however that there are some really annoying bugs, crashes, and quality of life issues that take you out of the experience. The story is so much fun when Esposito's on-screen, which is, unfortunately, not enough.

    Counting down to D-Day, you guide a group of Special Forces and French Resistance through Northwest France in an attempt to derail Nazi-Germany. The turn-based tactical squad missions are familiar all the way back to X-Com, but several new tactics have been added. Thanks to a new morale system, every shot counts, even when missed, taking away one of the biggest frustrations of the genre. Classified: France '44 isn't without fault, but will please fans of the genre with fresh ideas.

    Assetto Corsa shakes up the world of racing with a before unknown realism. Although realistic, there are several factors that makes that Assetto Corsa can't totally compete with Forza and Gran Turismo just yet.

    If you get excited by the thought of an airplane, there's enough content in Birds of Steel to keep you satisfied for a while. If you're more like the rest of us and just want to have some fun in the air, you'll be disappointed. The simplified mode is too easy and gets boring after a while. The realistic and simulator modes are too hard and unless you've got some experience in the virtual airspace, you'll give up before the second mission. It's too bad there is no mode that mixes the accessibility of the first mode but with the challenge of the other modes.

    Another Code: Recollection greatly expands on and alters the content of the original titles, even when it doesn't strictly need to. This applies to story details as well. Most or all changes are improvements, but some existing fans may understandably prefer the older versions. Thanks to entirely new puzzles the game occasionally feels brand new and rather unlike a remake. New visuals and voice acting make these games a richer experience than ever, something that the occasional ugly foliage doesn't hamper.

    Even though the demo is pretty disappointing, the full Killer Instinct proves to be a really nice addiction to the fighting genre. Most of the characters come directly from the first Killer Instinct-game, but this time they look really gorgeous on the new Xbox One. The fighting system of Killer Instinct is a very layered one, which will keep you busy for loads of hours although a campaign mode is definitely missed.

    Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits is actually a bit too expensive for the relatively small track list. You might wonder why it's a totally new game in stead of downloadable songs, furthermore it's all too similar to Guitar Hero: World Tour. However de game is still strong and once you start to play you don't want to stop singing or drumming, because these new features are now possible.

    Epic Mickey has become a good game that is perfect for younger and more casual gamers. The game will disappoint hardcore gamers because it is almost to easy to reach the end of the game.

    Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon has an incredibly cute look to it. But don't be fooled, the game is unforgiving and challenging. The roguelike elements can feel a little off balance at times, but the fighting system and dungeons keep you going.

    Yesterday Origins is in its heart a wonderful point-and-click adventurer. With a story that grabs you with its both hands, it drags you down to a wonderful adventure. Unfortunately, an adventure that is manifested by technical problems.
