    Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse offers great gameplay in a cool setting. Unfortunately these good points get outweighed by the awful graphics and other incompetencies in the game.

    If you're a fan of fighting games, you will absolutely love BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend. It has a ton of modes, it looks beautiful and it even has a good storyline. However, the lack of content is what will stop people who have played the previous games, from buying this one.

    Alien Zombie Megadeath is an old school arcade shooter, which is fun play and has a lot of content. The visuals and overall level design aren't satisfying, but because of its low price, Alien Zombie Megadeath is a game we recommend.

    Split/Second puts up a good show but doesn't do this for a long time. The coolest features are the Power Plays but even they become repetitive after a short while.

    This game tries to do a lot. It re-tells the story of the very first Final Fantasy, but is also an Origin story. It tries to pay homage to 35 years of FF games, but also provide a new experience. It wants to be a Souls game, but without the Souls difficulty, a hacker-slasher and a loot game. Against a backdrop of sub-par graphics, some choices work, some don't. The combat is pretty good, while the graphics, level design and story let down. This entry to the Final Fantasy multiverse won't be for the ages.

    The brushed up version of this classic looks really nice, but doesn't offer much challenge. The controls feel a bit slow and it's not a really long game either. Still, you'll enjoy the game a lot while it lasts.

    Playing MotorStorm RC feels like a crime. For only six euros you get a game that's fun to play, is very addictive, looks great and has plenty of content.

    Psycho Pass Mandatory Happiness is a nice game for anyone who likes Japanese visual novels or the Psycho Pass anime. The game doesn't require much input from the player and gets a bit repetitive sometimes, but the setting and story mostly make up for that.

    Doom VFR is a blast to play for every VR owner. The fast-paced action that the series is known for, is translated very well here. Although the adventure isn't that long, overall the experience is wonderful.

    Impact Winter has loads of interesting gameplay elements that blend perfectly together and create a good experience. The tension is excellent as well, but it often gets ruined by annoying bugs. The game also suffers from really bad keyboard controls.

    Raving Rabbids Alive & Kicking is truly the best party game you can get for Kinect. With forty different mini-games, you will keep on playing with your friends. Unfortunately there are some crappy games, but the fun ones have the majority.

    Shadow Warrior 2 is really enjoyable if you play with four players. The loading screens are, however, annoying and the game is not completely balanced. In the end it is a nice enough game with over the top action.

    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.

    Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is not on the same level as the other games within the series. The game looks sloppy but fortunately the acrobatic gameplay feels as good as always.

    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.

    Are you looking for an alternative for Wii Fit? Stop looking, EA Sports Active is what you want. As a hardcore gamer you may find this game boring, unless of course you want to lose some pounds!

    Fitness Boxing 2 is a decent fitness game that will get you to sweat, provided you can muster up the discipline. The game provides a good variety of exercises and incentives to come back each day. The best and worst part of Fitness Boxing is that it doesn't need any additional hardware but instead relies on joy-con movement, which isn't always very accurate. Fitness Boxing 2 is a good alternative to Ring Fit Adventure if you don't want any additional equipment.

    Ardennes Assault brings us one of the best campaign-modes ever seen in a Company of Heroes-game. However, if you don't own one of the first two Company of Heroes-games, the only thing you can play are the new single-player missions.

    Saboteur's gameplay isn't brilliant, but the presentation is just well done. We've seen it many times before, a game about the Second World War, but it's good to see that The Saboteur is original in a kind of way.

    The game is a nice GameCube port and definitely worth its money (only 30 euro's). The controls are good and Donkey Kong lovers will recognize a lot of cool old stuff while playing!

    Castlestorm is a fun game which mixes Angry Birds with a Tower Defense game. The big downside of the game is the time consuming adjustments you constantly have to make to your castle, but next to that it's all good fun.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex is a solid game that meets expectations. The Reflex system is a nice addition, but besides that this game is just not special in any way.

    Besides a subtitle this PlayStation 3 version of The Last Hope doesn't add much. The biggest addition to the game are the Japanese voices and this is the best addition developer tri-Ace could possibly make. The graphics may not be too great, but the storyline, sounds and battles make up for that.

    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.

    Multi-tasking is of great importance in PES 2009, so the game requires some training and time before you get the grip of it. Once you master the controls, the many game modes will offer soccer fans a lot of fun.

    Although the graphics are outdated, it is still a game to enjoy. People who play the CoD-games a lot, but never played the first part on the PC, now have the chance to play this first Call of Duty game.
