    This game is a good footie for the Wii, but because of the lack of evolution and innovation it failed to be more than that.

    Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is a really good game for only ten euros. It contains enough humour to keep playing, especially together with some friends on the couch.

    To understand the controls of this game, it's wise to check the tutorial and the manual first. About the game, the graphics are just fine, but the music will annoy you soon enough and unfortunately there are more lacks which will cause irritations. Despite all this Tropico 3 has become a decent game, but it's definitely only meant for the fans of this genre.

    Even if you have all platforms available, the PlayStation 4 version of Steamworld Dig is a recommendation. The steampunk western world comes more to life with those colorful graphics in combination with a decent TV. The gameplay is still as fun and relaxing as they were when this game was first released.

    With OutRun Online Arcade SEGA has come up with a nice game for only ten euro's. It looks nice, has an error here and there, but the soundtrack makes up for it. Players can surely enjoy this game for hours.

    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.

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an entertaining game for kids. Lots of typical Ice Age humour is interwoven in this game. The only bad thing is the length and the fact that it's all a bit too simple, so therefore platform lovers should better leave this game on the shelves.

    Road to the Olympics doesn't reinvent the wheel. The core gameplay stays the same, but the focus of this DLC is somewhat different. There is enough new content which makes Road to the Olympics a nice addition, but not more than that.

    Three decent levels, nothing more. XCOM unfortunately doesn't deliver more gameplay additions, but heck - if you want to play three exciting levels, then buy it.

    Fortune Street may look cute from the outside, but it could become a complex game, if you so desire. Because of the several game modes, young golddiggers among us will find as much fun in Fortune Street as the more experienced player. Unfortunately you'll be listening to the same dreadful music during the entire game. Add to that a pretty boring singleplayer experience, and what you get is a slightly above average game.

    Elden Ring Nightreign departs a lot from the usual FromSoftware formula, which doesn’t always work out. From a hasty experience to boss fights you can’t learn from, it can often be frustrating. The mechanics are solid however and it might tap into a whole new audience.

    Gotham City Impostors is a lot of fun to play but sadly offers only a few levels and game modes. If you're looking for an easy to play multiplay shooter, you'll definitely have a good time with this one.

    James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a good shooter that has a lot of variety to offer. This game will keep you entertained until the end. It would have been an instant classic if it wasn't for the numerous mistakes and glitches.

    Trials of Mana brings the old SNES version of the game to the modern age, but fails to take full advantage of modern possibilities. Graphics have improved but still have odd choices like stiff garments. The balance between very easy random enemies and very tough (mini)bosses is off, requiring more grinding than we want in a modern game. All in all, Trials of Mana fails to fully deliver where its big competitor (FF7) does.

    This free upgrade is worth playing and brings the EUFA Euro to your console or PC. Konami has updated a lot, but is it enough?

    Ruzzle Adventure is surprisingly good. The game modes offer a good amount of variety which keeps the game fresh. It's a pity the game doesn't offer a good balance in the letters though, as more often then not, you receive an abundance of vowels.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 improves just enough over its predecessor to keep it interesting. The new online features are a nice addition, but the rest of the game is almost the same as last year's edition.

    Pac-Man as a platform game is a nice idea, however the title could have been much better. Levels are real empty and it's all too simple. But kids will love it, no doubt about that.

    This episode is much better than the previous one. The gameplay contains a mix of puzzles, conversations and fights. Last but not least: you get to craft.

    Despite being out for nearly a decade, The Sims 4: Lovestruck has rung me back in again, even after all these years. It’s refreshing to see the characters become more lifelike, in which gameplay takes a unique turn.

    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.

    In the end, Civilization: Beyond Earth is just a really average game. Firaxis has some nice new idea's - like the tech-web and the way aliens behave -, but they don't cover the fact that the title has some flaws.

    Warface's first impression is good, but when you start to dive deeper into the game, you'll encounter some disturbing issues. Unlocking items is very hard to complete and for some people that is enough to stop playing the game completely. The overall experience is mediocre, but just won't do it for some players.

    It might be a little bit strange to bring out a Rock Band game that focuses only on Green Day. The game might lack some innovation, but proves that the Rock Band formula still works great.

    Stoked is definitely a game which can compete with other snowboard games. Despite the few inaccuracy's in the audio and the graphics, it's great fun and deserves it's seven mark.

    Kona is an inspiring game that pulls the player into the story. Unfortunately, Kona cannot maintain the same pace that it has at the beginning of the game. But besides that, Kona is still a nice game.

    Republique is a stealth game that delivers a strong overall story, while delivering a unique gameplay experience. You explore the game through the lens of a camera, which is a lot of fun despite the flaws the game has.
