    Another expansion for De Sims 3 and this time it adds a lot of realism. That makes it kind of cool, but it still feels like a bit of a trick to make money for the developers.

    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.

    There is just no way around it: Iron Man VR is a disappointment. While it feels great to fly around like Iron Man, the gameplay gets stale very quickly. On top of that, the load times are unbearable, which is a shame because the story is quite enjoyable.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a solid game for anyone looking for some nostalgia thanks to a great retelling of the anime's story. The game gets repetitive though and relies too much on forced RPG-elements that don't add that much to the overall experience.

    Rage 2 is colorful, visceral and fun, thanks to the collaboration between id Software and Avalanche Studios. The story contains memorable characters, but the story itself knows no surprises and can be completed in nine hours.

    There is a lot of variation in the levels in Mighty Switch Force 2, but the game is still too short. The gameplay, however, is still brilliant and the 3D style really adds something to the game.

    Kinect Disneyland Adventures gives you the feeling that you're actually there, asking Mickey Mouse for autographs. Most minigames are a lot of fun and are perfect for children. However, more mini-games and more varied quests could have made this game a lot better.

    If you are looking for a title that you can play for hours, then this one is your game. It's definitely worth it if you just bought a 3DS.

    Dante's Inferno offers an unique experience with an excellent story. It's too bad the gameplay and graphics can't reach that level. But it remains a game you should definitely consider.

    Although Mario Strikers Battle League Football does come with some flaws, in the end it's a surprisingly fun multiplayer sports title. Gameplay is easy to learn, but hard to master with some nice deeper mechanics. Content wise the game falls short with only a few single player options to play through. The multiplayer aspect, on the other hand, works like a charm and delivers some classic chaotic Nintendo multiplayer fun. Mario Strikers succeeds in bringing that nostalgic fun to the Nintendo Switch.

    Kinect Sports is fun, challenging and a great addition to your collection. This is another Kinect game you really should buy if you are planning to buy Kinect.

    If you like LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 - 4, you will also like Years 5 - 7. Even so many of the locations, especially Hogwarts have been recycled. It's still a lot of fun.

    While the game doesn't control that great it does have a unique and interesting story. The path is filled with challenges which will keep you busy for a good while. These challenges are fun to overcome but don't line up with the target audience which is a shame.

    Star Wars Battlefront is an excellent Star Wars simulator and an audiovisual marvel. Sadly the shallow and oversimplified gameplay and lack of content hurt the overall package.

    Zone of the Enders HD Collection has become a beautiful package. Both games offer original gameplay. Even though they are eleven years old, a surprising fact. The barrier between the two games can be pointed out as a negative thing, but both games are good enough to enjoy them throughout the full ride. This package belongs in your collection, no matter what.

    Anarchy Reigns does exactly what the title explains. It brings players to a world of chaos and adds a very thin storyline. The game is all about beating enemies up end allows you to doe this against the computer offline and versus players online. It's a pretty decent game with a dent in it here and there.

    This is a sequel to the original Cyber Sleuth game, but it doesn't feel that way. The game offers a new 50+ hour story, a total of over 300 Digimon and a few new elements. But next to that it is exactly the same as the last Digimon game.

    SkyFighter is a fun game to play but doesn't stay fresh for a long time. However, with all the possibilities you should be able to enjoy the gameplay for a solid seven hours. The multiplayer is very chaotic and you won't recognize your airplane between all the bullets and planes.

    SkyDrift takes the fighting to the sky in a way you've never experienced before. Be prepared for fast action and lots of explosions. All of the different surroundings and planes make sure that you'll never get bored.

    This game is a mayor deception. The God of War games were so epic on the PlayStation 2 but look really bad on the PS Vita. Therefore it's a total disaster. Poor Kratos, he deserves better.

    The Sims 4 Tiny living is a fun and unique expansion package from EA that brings something more than a simple expansion pack with some extra furniture. Tiny living is a challenge for both players and Sims and brings many fun aspects to the game. Tiny living is also great to combine with other expansion packs with, in our opinion, student life in particular.

    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.

    House of Ashes is the best iteration in the franchise yet. The horror feels more mature and the jumpscares are not as prominent as before. The animations are not always great and next-gen features are yet to be used fully, but suspense and scares are guaranteed. In a dark room on a stormy night, you are ensured to have a sleepless night or two.

    The Goblinthief Styx steals the show again in Styx Shards of Darkness. While the game gets difficult, it keeps you entertained till the end. Styx introduces you to a fantasy world full of mysteries to solve.

    There’s no more need to go to the gym, when you have a Wii U. With Wii Fit U you can practice, even when not looking at your TV-screen. However, you’ll need to pay a lot of money for all the attributes you need.

    9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a pleasant surprise in a year full of beat 'em ups. This is not just another brawler, but one with an extensive skill tree, different fighting styles and a lot of fun gameplay. The game is playable in offline or online co-op and in both styles the game works flawlessly. There are a few bugs here and there, but nothing worth mentioning. If you like to fight, buy this game.

    Dante's Inferno: Trials of St. Lucia ads lots of fun gameplay to the original game and shows us that multiplayer can work in a hack 'n slash title like this.

    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.
