    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.

    This game is really strange and has a main character who likes weird stuff, sex, jokes, blood and more. It's actually a Wii-game in High Definition so not an entirely new game. It's funny to play but doesn't offer anything special.

    House of Wolves is a better expansion than The Dark Below was. It offers some much needed fresh content, but it won't convince any outsiders to join the fun. The price of 20 euros is only fair if you're an avid player.

    The game looks great and the gameplay is fantastic, but it never becomes too hard. The storyline that was so great in the original is not that clear in this game.

    Dead Rising 4 promises a lot of change in the Dead Rising series. While at points this feels awkward and strange, the Dead Rising experience still stands firm due to its enticing story and exaggerated action.

    This is not a game that's worth it on PS4. It has a weak story. Only nice thing is Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe.

    Tricky Towers is a new version of the classic hit Tetris. This time around it is possible to play the Tetris style game with multiple people. The singleplayer mode gets boring quite fast.

    Remember Me is a daring new action-adventurer by developer Dontnod Entertainment. The adventure of protagonist Nilin looks fresh and plays like a charm. A definite must-buy for fans of games of its sort.

    Serious Same 3 shines in the co-op mode. The singleplayer gets a bit boring after a while and the competitive multiplayer doesn't stay fun for long. The co-op is where it's at, letting you play with 15 friends in a very hectic game. The gameplay is great and stays true to the older Serious Sam games. The concept still works great, just don't expect a great story.

    Building in a futuristic setting was never as much fun as it is in Anno 2205. Build your own metropolis on both the Earth and the moon. The gameplay is easy to get into, so both newcomers and veterans of the franchise can instantly enjoy the game.

    Now that the competition is out of the way (Harmonix did not make a new Dance Central yet) Ubisoft has the spotlight. The new Just Dance allows dancers to have an online competition on the World Dance Floor, which is lots of fun. Ubisoft did take out some of the nicer options for single player gamers though, which is a pity.

    If you're looking for a cheap but good PSN-title, this is a nice game to spend your money on. Especially if you love to recycle trash.

    This expansion is one of the best ever made for The Sims. It is not only interesting for the Sim fan, but also for the one who step out of the franchise.

    Cars 3 Driven to Win is a good arcade racer which ties in with the movie. There is more than enough to do, but you'll miss just as much. The Battle Arena is gone and there is a lot of distraction on the tracks. It's a fun game, but no more than that.

    While the story and exploration in Atomfall feel refreshing and rewarding, the action and gameplay often feel like filler holding the experience back. It’s a promising mix of ingredients, but one that struggles to keep up with modern titles.

    Tales of Zestiria is a great game which looks fantastic and plays like a charm. It doesn't really challenge you though and had a few small other flaws. Still the story grips you and the game manages to entertain you for hours.

    Shenmue 1 & 2 remaster are games that every fan should own. Still, both games feel really old on every front. There are some changes but it’s simply not enough. Though these games deserved a remake, they are still worth your while.

    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.

    RoboCop is a passionate and faithful addition to the franchise, but it's not without its flaws. While the gunplay gives you plenty of customization and is a whole lot of fun, the rest of the game lacks a bit on the content side. It is lacking some depth in its conversations, story telling and the game world also feels a bit empty from time to time. That, and the technical imperfections that are present during gameplay, prevent the game from being that true nostalgic banger.

    Team Sonic Racing is a game you must play co-op or online. The best way to play this game is with your friends. Team Sonic Racing delivers some chaotic co-op gameplay and fresh team racing gameplay.

    Penarium is a quick and fun platformer offering a nice sadistic thrill-ride, although it can be frustrating (sometimes in a good way). It's also a little too difficult, allowing no strategy, only fast jumping. Luckily this doesn't spoil all the fun.

    Renowned Explorers International Society is a strategy game of big proportions. The expeditions are always full of surprises, and you are never certain that you will come out unscathed. The game truly delivers a thrilling and enjoyable experience.

    Despite the fact not everything is perfect about the game, MotoGP 13 turns out to be very realistic at some points. The fans will eat it up and new players will have a good challenge.

    Assassin's Creed Rogue offers more of the same, both at sea and on land. While the attractive combination of naval battles and playing murderer on land is fun, the game simply fails to live up to expectations.

    Namco Museum is a collection of arcade games from Bandai Namco's past. Even though some of the games are timeless, they don't seem to capture that same kind of magic like they would in an arcade hall. Because of that, Namco Museum falls short.

    Off the Record is the best game in the series because of the return of Frank West and the addition of the Sandbox Mode. However, you're basically playing Dead Rising 2 all over again, with the same story, technical imperfections and tiresome gameplay.

    The new Supermassive game delivers a tense sci-fi horror story filled with paranoia, tough choices, and cinematic presentation aboard a doomed spaceship. While the scares are less intense than previous entries, the atmosphere and replayable story make it a strong start for the new Dark Pictures season.

    Outstanding and challenging gameplay. Unfortunately due to its inconvenient controls and some other problems, it won't be the best Housemarque game you'll encounter.

    Assassin's Creed III remastered contains a lot of content and you will definitely enjoy playing it. Still it still feels like a game which was released years ago. Not a must have, rather a nice to have.

    Rayman 3 is very fun to play even after eight years. Sadly Ubisoft didn't change much of the game except the graphics. There are numerous bugs that bother the game and the camera movement isn't working well either. Besides that it's a very good downloadable title.
