    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a must-have for fans of the franchise. There's a boatload of characters, the combat is refreshing and the soundtrack is epic. Unfortunately the graphics are not up to par and there are some minor flaws.

    Action Henk is a fun, quick game and easy to control, but difficult to master precisely. It reminds us of Trials, with a good but frustrating trial and error system. However, after a while you'll get tired of Henk for a day or two.

    MotoGP 10/11 is a decent game, nothing more than that. It has to be said that the new co-op mode is really great, but that's the only really cool addition to this newest game in the MotoGP franchise.

    Though a bit on the short side, Heavy Bullets offers fun and addictive gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. It also introduces a game mechanic that feels fresh and brings something new to the realm of shooters.

    The first episode of Telltale's version of Guardians of The Galaxy starts off nicely with a enjoyable mix of humor and action. Although it starts off slow, the rest of the episode more than makes up for it. It is a nice start to a brand new adventure.

    Patapon Remastered entertains just like the original did. Its looks fantastic and plays away just right. The hunting part however is still far too stretching. Nevertheless, Patapon is a game you have to play.

    Dungeon Siege III isn't a bad game but you have to like the genre. If you like to explore a world and love to see your character grow, you will like this game. If you're looking for an RPG, there are better games available.

    The new Mario & Sonic game will bring you next year´s Winter Olympics, with a high fun factor. Although the controls sometimes fail, the game is still fun to play.

    Compared to newer farming games Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is somewhat slow. This can lead to some frustrations, yet at the same time it gives you a sense of peace, something which is very welcome in today’s often rushed society. If A Wonderful Life had added more things to do, this slowness would’ve probably been a lot less noticeable. The characters, who are the heart and soul of the game, are the saving grace. They make you want to keep returning to Forgotten Valley.

    Blood Bowl 2 gives you hilarious, but brute action. There are enough races, but less than in the previous game. The game is especially fun in multiplayer and offers a complete experience with minor flaws. Definitely a touchdown.

    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.

    We can't say it enough: shooting robots apart is a perfect way to kill some time. That's why we're surprised Binary Domain hasn't gotten the media attention it deserves, because this is one hell of a surprise. Granted, there are some things in this game we didn't like. Like the AI of your teammates, the lack of a split-screen feature and the appeal of the included multiplayer. If you like third-person shooters, you will not regret this adventure with Dan Marshall and his team of anti-heroes.

    Disney Art Academy lets you draw your favourite Disney characters. Not much else is to be said about the game. It's a game about drawing.

    This game is a brainless shooter that has almost no depth. There haven't been to many improvements over the first game but the results look promising. The multiplayer modes are pretty good and it's one of the main reasons why you might want to play this game.

    Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise is a game which definitely comes from the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The game feels similar to Yakuza at times, but does its own thing. Despite a few hiccups the game is worth your time.

    Steelrising is a very unique Soulslike game. The developers clearly tried to make this game as French as possible and this worked well. The combat is fun and the bosses are also uniquely designed. The story is where Steelrising missed the mark. All characters look the same and it's just very boring to go through. The checkpoints and currency could have been better. The Assist mode is the best aspect of this game, it helps newcomers to the Soulslike genre to give them the best experience possible.

    A great game for those that know the series, but confusing for others. The 3-on-3 tagteam battlesystem works well and the roster is diverse. The game suffers from some difficulty inconsistencies. All in all, it doesn't rise above the competition.

    Megaton Rainfall delivers a unique VR experience that will make you feel like a superhero. However, graphics are mediocre and without a VR headset the game is definitely not worth it.

    Until Dawn Rush of Blood perfectly shows what the PlayStation VR is capable of. It brings you on an extremely terrifying and interesting ride, where there is only one thing you want to do and that is to survive.

    Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage is a game that will take you through the cold winter days this year. Especially city's like London and New York will bring you an extra vibe. The biggest disappointment is the lack of an online multiplayer. Still the game itself is nice enough to play.

    Earth Defense Force 5 is the best title the franchise has seen. Minor improvements makes it worthwhile to spend another dozen of hours killing bugs. Especially when playing co-op the game will outshine it's bad to mediocre story and graphics.

    This game is a remake from a remake and therefore too expensive. The previous game on the PS3 is cheaper and has the same content. But if you don't have a PS3 then you can always look into this version.

    This Remaster Star Ocean: The Last Hope should have been a remake. Now the game feels old with just a new look. The fighting is good, but everything else feels old and that's a shame. It just can't compete with the rest of the RPGs of today.

    Outriders is the new looter shooter from People Can Fly and Square Enix. It takes you to the planet Enoch, where mankind has to fight to survive and earn its place among the wild animals and hostile factions. It's got some great ideas, but lacks an interesting story and more importantly, good loot.

    A remake of a remake, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded proves that it is almost impossible to do. The visuals and the artificial intelligence are extremely disappointing. The nostalgic multiplayer is one of the highlights, but you have to expect more from a game that carries the name 'GoldenEye'.

    Ultra Despair Girls is the latest installment in the Danganronpa series. This spin-off is good, but not as good as the previous games. The lack of Japanese audio is a big minus.

    Dead or Alive 6 offers the same fun the previous installments did. There is not a huge leap forward in graphics, but in terms of gameplay there are some fun new elements. Unfortunately the game lacks diversity in multiplayer modes.

    Book of Spells gives us the first opportunity to play with Sony's new Wonderbook. Although the game has its flaws it surely proves that the book works excellently as a controller. That's why we can't wait to see what other titles might be coming.
