    Tomb Raider is a really good game but that it's full priced is unacceptable. It's just the same version as previous year. The good thing is you're part of a big Hollywood movie. However Lara lacks any sense of humor.

    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.

    Another year, another Madden. Unfortunately no big changes in gameplay, but Longshot is a fun addition to the game. The Frostbite Engine looks nice, but is still kind of buggy. Overall EA gets a pass with a decent Football game.

    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.

    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.

    Little Nightmares 3 delivers a thrilling new chapter in the eerie universe of The Nowhere. The game feels fresh yet familiar, plays smoothly, and keeps you on the edge of your seat with tense, unsettling moments. Local co-op is missing and some objectives are unclear, but the chilling new nightmares more than make up for it.

    Agents of Change enhances Brink in a good way, providing maps with more emphasis on variety and new abilities that allow for new strategies. The Artificial Intelligence still manages to act weird occasionally, so you'd better get some Brink playing friends in order to fully enjoy this DLC package.

    Cold War is a very challenging game with a nice atmosphere. The mini-games and the co-op add extra length but it would have been nicer to see a second campaign like in the first game. There's not as much improvement as we would have liked, but just enough additions have been made to make Cold War a respectable followup game.

    Catherine tells a lovely story about a man and his troubled life. You will never get bored with the eight different endings the game has to offer. But because of the long cutscenes, this game isn't made for everyone.

    This is the Etherborn review. A difficult but unique puzzle game. But is it worth it?

    A decent story based on a strong background, which lingers too long explaining and then rushing too fast to a satisfactory end. There are some minor technical issues but nothing too serious. It's relatively short story offers enough choices and side stories to allow several replays.

    Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is surely not a perfect game but deserves your attention. If you take good care of your ingame friends, then you will experience a great adventure that will take you about 25 hours to complete.

    A clever RPG that combines traditional turn-based gameplay with time manipulation to present an interesting story through many different locations. The story features some time-based puzzling and side-quests that make subtle (or less subtle) changes to the world around you. The random encounters and save points don't add to the fun of the game but in all, a quality, fun RPG.

    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.

    Devil May Cry 5 is a fun new hack and slash entry in the series, but it doesn't deliver enough refreshment. This makes the action sometimes feel like you have been there before. But what a lovely place to be kicking demons' back to hell.

    The Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is a must-have collection for every Duke Nukem lover. It contains the original game, a new episode and three (hard to get) expansion for just ten bucks. The gameplay is great, even after all these years. And since the rotten apple Duke Nukem Forever left a unpleasant taste, this is a gift out of heaven.

    Just Dance 3 has a great and varied soundtrack that will get everyone dancing like a maniac. It's a great game, but it could have used some more new modes. This third installment brings mostly just more of the same.

    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.

    Perfect Dark is worth as a Xbox Live Arcade title. But it's not the sensation anymore like it was before.

    Gatling Gears is all about shooting. It's very simple, but really straightforward. Gatling Gears is a fast action game and has good looks, however, it's disappointing to see that it doesn't add a single thing to the genre.

    Frontline Nation is ideal for people that aren't used to turn-based strategy games. The focus on warfare makes it great for newcomers as long as they can look past the overpowered helicopter and the long loading times.

    The addition of an online multiplayer is what makes this game interesting. Other than that there is no real improvement to the original.

    Sonic CD is already eightteen years old, but it's still one of the greatest Sonic games. Everything that was good in the 1993 version for SEGA Mega-CD, is still good in the remake. The levels have a beautiful design and the high definition tweak certainly strengthens that. A pity that SEGA didn't add anything to the remake, some bonus content would have been nice.

    Singularity is better then the average shooter and has a lot of fun to offer. Thanks to a decent singleplayer campaign and a fine multiplayer, you won't regret spending your time on this game.

    Kinect Sports: Season Two doesn't do anything particularly better than the first game, but includes six new sports. There is a good variety in gameplay, going from the more active sports like american football to more passive sports such as darts. It's just a pity that the graphics are so outdated.

    The game plays well and guarantees many hours of fun. All in all, Dragon Quest Heroes is a more than successful PlayStation exclusive that most can appreciate.
