    The Amazing Spider-Man isn't the best superhero game out there, but it sure is entertaining. Web-slinging through Manhattan is really fun. The main story however is less impressive.

    No Straight Roads is a rock game that delivers in terms of variation. At least in the levels and the different boss fights. In terms of enemies, the game lacks a few miles and the dialogues of the game tend to get a little annoying because of the screaming main character. Still, this is a game you should definitely play. For just under 40 euros you get six hours of entertaining gameplay full of colors and a very strong soundtrack!

    Wonder Boy Collection is a cool collection of four games. The games are all unique for their time and thus have something to add. Although one of the games has not aged well and one other has just gotten a remake last year, the collection is still one to play.

    Pokémon Scarlet & Violet takes the next step for the franchise thanks to the lush open world. Even the new Terastallizing mechanic is great fun, although it is kinda a reskin of an earlier mechanic. Amazing music and some smart design choices make it a game you can't miss. At least, that is what we would've said if the performance wasn't as bad as it is.

    This game is nice for children but there's too little to explore for them on one day. So it's a title you should buy for them (or yourself?) as an extra.

    Operation: Tango is a great multiplayer game. Though it is quite short it gives players a unique experience with both characters. There were some technical difficulties and errors, but Operation: Tango is a great, innovative, and unique multiplayer game, which allows players to have fun and engaging moments, while at the same time are trying not to ragequit because of each other's mistakes or jokes.

    Hitman HD Trilogy reminds us a lot of the Splinter Cell HD Trilogy. There are three great stealth games bundled on one disc, but the HD update is so non existent that it is hard to ignore how much these games have aged.

    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.

    Despite some annoyances, Boulder Dash-XL certainly gives you value for your money. With 150 different and completely new caves, you can get many hours of enjoyment for a low price. Boulder Dash-XL takes you back to the class of its predecessors! However, some of the new game modes can be boring and seem unnecessary.

    Although there's fun to be had in New Dawn, it feels a bit like a downgrade compared to Far Cry 5. An okay story, weak antagonists and mostly empty world are being held up by the franchise's usual standard for combat and graphics.

    Days Gone features a huge and beautifully looking open world that's great to explore. The game is, however, plagued by many bugs that take away from the experience overall. It's a shame since the story, characters and enemies make the game so much fun to play.

    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.

    Fans of the WWE series will really enjoy playing this game. For newcomers, the fine controls will provide you a way to become a WWE fan.

    Despite its shortcomings, Bionic Commando has become a nice game. Swinging from building to building in a destroyed Ascension City is a nice experience, and the vast amount of cool action make up for most flaws in the game.

    Retro City Rampage is a game that certainly has it's flaws, but if you lived through the 80's or 90's, this a game made for you. The adventure of Player is filled with references to that time period, and if words like Ninja Turtles, Mario, Contra and Batman bring back memories, you'll have great fun with Retro City Rampage.

    Sand Land is a fine game, thanks to a fun story and a loveable cast of characters. The gameplay is just a bit too simple at times, while some frustrating design choices can leave you frustrated at certain points.

    Everything this game needs is there, all the teams and drivers are complete and even the umbrella girls are included. However, SBK 09 is far too complex, which makes it hard to just start a simple race. But because the game has this much details, it's a awesome game for the motorbike fans.

    Asura's Wrath is, without a doubt, a very special game. We can't recall the last time we've seen so much brutal action on our screen, while we could also lose ourselves in an immersive story. Such spectacle! Besides that, Asura has fought his way to an important place on our list of most memorable characters in videogame history. That aside, you may want to know Asura's Wrath is more like an interactive movie that lasts around ten hours. If you can look past that, you will find a game like you've never seen or played before.

    The four multiplayer maps in the Supremacy DLC all have a unique appearance and this makes the Supremacy DLC a beautiful addition to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

    The Escapists is an entertaining and challenging game, but the constant recon gets a bit boring after a while. Additionally, it had a few annoying bugs.

    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.

    Ultra Street Fighter IV is finally available, but not without bugs. These break up a part of the fun in the game, but still it is a game you will love. Too bad it doesn't offer any reason for Ultra players to buy this version.

    For the people of the nostalgic factor, Might & Magic X Legacy is a great game. It does, however, have no story whatsoever and feels quite outdated. Legacy is a game for a certain group of people.

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a suprisingly fresh take on the MMORPG-genre, but when you are searching for a cooperative version of Skyrim, you came to the wrong place. If you are searching for a new MMO, however, you should really consider trying this one out. The level system removes the grinding and the first person perspective gives you a fresh take on the genre.

    Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits is actually a bit too expensive for the relatively small track list. You might wonder why it's a totally new game in stead of downloadable songs, furthermore it's all too similar to Guitar Hero: World Tour. However de game is still strong and once you start to play you don't want to stop singing or drumming, because these new features are now possible.

    A great retro throwback and a amazing way to start the birthday of Mega Man. The mix of Mega Man gameplay and Street Fighter locations, music and characters works great, and if you are a fan of either one of the series there is something to love in SF X MM. Because the game is free there is absolutely no reason to not try this game.

    GRIP is a fast game like you have never seen. The game lets you battle friends online and offline in diverse modes. Unfortunately the high speed has its cons, like the many times you'll crash and the total chaos this game embodies.

    Yes, this game is short. No, that doesn't matter. With different game modes, fantastic visuals, low price and great GamePad implantation this is definitely a game worth checking out.

    Farpoint is a great VR shooter, in which you discover a new planet while fighting creepy aliens. The new Aim Controller is a nice addition to the family, and gameplay wise the game plays nicely. The only big issue could be its steep pricing.
