    SpongeBob's renewed adventure is the return of an iconic platformer we all once embraced. The game looks good and refers to a lot of hilarious situations from the cartoons. You simply can't help to smile a lot during the game, but the controls are not nearly as good. They are barely touched and feel outdated which makes the game less good than an average patty.

    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.

    Sideway: New York is a very colorful game that brings 2D to a new highs. The variety enemies make sure that the game will never get dull. Its low price makes it a game that's well worth its money.

    Season 2 of The Walking Dead shows its first cracks. Relationships are just not that important anymore. Amid the Ruins is still a good episode though. We hope Telltale Games glues everything back together in an amazing series finale.

    Wolfenstein is absolutely not the greatest shooter of this year, therefore the game lacks at too many points. But on the other hand, the game offers you a nice combination of shooting with weapons and using the skills of the medallion. Reason enough to buy this game as a perfect snack, before the really big shooters will hit the stores later this year.

    This episode has some real drama which is nice and unexpected. But on the other hand some improvements are just missing. So therefore it's not the best episode.

    At first you think: Why is there a new Minecraft season from Telltale? But after two hours you'll think: Hey, this episode was really good! It has some nice action scenes and new characters. You should give it a try.

    The world that Walt Disney shaped really comes to life in this cutesy 3DS-game. Though there is lots of content to play through, the framerate is bad and there is not enough challenge to make this game really worth while.

    Dead Island offers something unique, combining RPG elements with a survival horror setting. Despite a few bugs it is definitely a game you should try if you're a zombie addict like us.

    Bound is not a traditional game, but more of an artistic project. The gameplay is unique and the ballerina moves in an authentic way. But it is too low paced and doesn't deliver on important aspects. Still, it's worth a try if you are willing to dance.

    LEGO Marvels Avengers is the worst LEGO-game in years. The game is colourful and fun, but the story is crap such as the puzzles and the glitches.

    While Steep looks stunning and has plenty to explore, the game also lacks diversity. Without a clear goal for players, you are more or less left alone to do what you please. Find some friends to play with you, because that is how the game is meant to be played.

    Tower of Guns is a tribute to the cakewalk. The deadly tower, Tower of Guns' playground, is full of booby traps and weird enemies that change every time you start the game. Unfortunately after a few hours, the game isn't that challenging anymore.

    Job Simulator is a really fun game that shows off 4 typical human jobs in a year 2050 setting. Fulfilling assignments is satisfying however the game is guiding you way too much to keep it interesting. But the humor keeps you attached and going.

    Little Hope has an interesting story but lacks as a good stand-alone horror-title. The game is cinematic and the choices you make do influence the outcome of the game. Multiplayer is fun, but unfortunately, the game relies too much on jump scares which get annoying over time. Let's hope the next installment in the anthology is scarier than this one.

    Pawarumi is one of those original concepts that tries to do something different. The rock, paper, scissors concept is cool, but sometimes confusing. Still, it gives players a great challenge and keeps you on edge at all times.

    Fallout Shelter is a nice free game for real Fallout fans. The game features beautiful, characteristic Fallout graphics, but is ultimately lacking in action.

    Deponia didn't go to waste when Daedalic entertainment ported the game to PlayStation 4. The game is funny, wonderful graphics and great characters. The only thing we miss is the use of the track pad.

    Unfortunately Sacred 2 is not better than its predecessor, but all in all it is an 'fine' RPG. Especially the big world is really recommendation worthy.

    All Disney fans should play this game.Its cute, it's lovely and so much fun. Although it's a shame you can only play coop if you buy another character in the store.

    The different styles of the games don't charm and the collection as is, is a bit small with four games instead of six. And there is not much extra content to explore. Still, you get to play the coolest and the toughest Mega Man adventure in the series.

    Expansion The Resistance leaves us with mixed emotions. If it’s not for the zombies story, the DLC wouldn’t be all that special. In the end it’s a matter of personal preference: normal multiplayer or zombies?

    The studio behind this game has made a great remake with lots of challenging puzzles in a nice pace. The story in this game is not just intriguing and exciting, but will also make you think about it long after you finished the game.

    Although it offers nothing new, Söldner X-2 Prototype is a great little schmup for PS Vita. The (60fps!) graphics are nice and it plays just like you'd expect. A little repetitive but the extra challenges do add replay value to an otherwise short game.

    Tales of Xillia 2 for the PlayStation 3 is a great sequel to Tales of Xillia, with a better story that has a more mysterious vibe than the first one, triggering you to continue playing until the end. The battle system has gotten more depth with the new weapon weaknesses, but also gained some flaws with an overpowered protagonist and a somewhat confusing leveling system.

    Samba de Amigo Party Central is a great time thanks to its accessible controls, local coop fun and the huge amount of songs to enjoy. The difficulty is a bit inconsistent however.

    From The Gallows is great. The episode is better than anything we saw before this season, without making the same mistakes from previous episodes. It ends very well and makes us wish for more. Nevertheless, we have seen a lot of it already.

    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.

    Battleborn looks and feels amazing, with unique characters and their upgrade systems. Though the PvP is awesome, the story missions are very monotonous and the storyline is hard to follow thanks to the weird online system.

    We don't advise to play this game alone but there's more then enough fun to explore when you play it co-op. The adventure continues!
