Fusion: Genesis doesn't invite players to play. If you're willing to come over by yourself and invest a little time and effort in this game, it has a lot to offer. A tutorial may be the answer to a broader audience. Now only the few who persist will get a great game with an even greater universe.- XGN

While the combination of metroidvania platforming and Pac-Man provides an interesting concept, the execution leaves something to desire. The inaccurate attacks, sparse save points and lack of direction, combined with irregular difficulty spikes, hinder the game more than they should.- XGN

Although the main story in Valhalla Hills is quite lacking, managing a Viking settlement at the foot of a mountain is an interesting challenge.- XGN

While more of RoboCop: Rogue City is definitely welcome, this stand alone follow-up cannot reach the same heights as the original. Mostly confined to the corridors of the Omnitower, it lacks the finesse of roaming the streets of Old Detroit. Exchanging the joys of ticketing an ill-parked car for a splatterfest, Unfinished Business resembles a continuous shooting range a bit too much.- XGN

Wii Play: Motion includes a few boring and bad minigames and doesn't have a Party mode. Most of the games, however, can be pretty fun and work great with the included controller. It's a great extra for anyone that is looking for a Wii Motion Plus controller.- XGN

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.- XGN

This is absolutely not the blockbuster you are waiting for, but still it's an entertaining game that keeps you busy for a few hours. The action is there all the time and so are the many many clichés.- XGN

UFC 3 is very nice fighting game, but that doesn't mean it is a good wrestling game. The ground game leaves to be desired and really takes down the quality of the game. Overall the look and feel of UFC 3 entirely is still pretty decent.- XGN

The Walking Dead A New Frontier started as a good game, but does not convince with the latest episode. While characters like David and Javier are well-written, this is a predictable slow paced episode. Episode 4 is the least entertaining episode so far.- XGN

Anomaly Defenders is an example of a good and solid tower defense game. The gameplay works, the maps offer a good amount of variety and the tech-tree is sublime. Because of this, it's a pity that the game doesn't offer a huge amount of troops and enemies, and that the frame-rate is unstable when a lot of human forces start to explode.- XGN

The Evil Within offers the right horror atmosphere with strong gameplay and lots of challenges. That makes it extra unfortunate that the story is weak, the camera is annoying and there are lots of bugs.- XGN

Payback is a nice mix of elements. Police chases, races, drag, off-road and pimping your own car. And off course there is a lot of speed. But there are a few major misses too, like the forced grinding. Still, this is a solid entry in the franchise.- XGN

Animals take over as humanity bites the dust. Survival of the fittest is the only rule and it works perfectly in Tokyo Jungle. The gameplay however is too simple at times and can get a bit superficial. Without a proper finishing touch this game does not make it past the average level.- XGN

Gauntlet is a fun dungeon crawler to play with a friend or two. Too bad the game is not very long. It is not very deep as well, but for people that just want to hack away relentlessly, Gauntlet is a good buy.- XGN

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX is a remake from the Red & Blue Rescue Team games from the GBA and Nintendo DS respectively. It's a title full of nostalgia for those who played and loved the original, but seeing how this game was originally a handheld it might be a bit lacking for some who are looking for a brand new Switch game. We recommend playing the free demo first to see if this is something you want to spend money on.- XGN

Skully is a platformer that challenges and entertains you. The game lets you die a lot, but never in an unfair way. The game's physics are always on point which pushes you to keep an eye on the little skull all the time. Solve puzzles with three other characters and roll, jump, bash, and dash your way to the lairs of four gods in this indie game.- XGN

Starhawk is a decent online multiplayer game, but the gameplay is not unique enough. The concept is original, but lacks variation. You won't remember this game in thirty years.- XGN

Panzer Tactics HD feels like a game with two sides. Although the strategic side is really satisfying, the controls aren't. They are sometimes frustrating as is the lack of pace in your own turns. Still, Sproing manages to create a solid strategy game with Panzer Tactics HD.- XGN

This is a good game for someone who is really into turn-based RPG's. Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment offers hours of gameplay for a small price.- XGN

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!- XGN

Yo-Kai Watch 2 Psychic Spirits is the Ultimate version of its predecessors. And that's not a good thing, nor is it a bad thing. The game offers cute creatures, a great soundtrack, but bland fights.- XGN

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory is a great collection for the most hardcore of fans. While the story doesn't progress the plot that much, the gameplay is fun and entertaining for the most part and shows off just how great the Kingdom Heart music really is.- XGN

Shad'O has a nice story which is interwoven with classic tower defense gameplay. The gameplay doesn't offer much innovation but the beautiful surroundings sure make up for that.- XGN

Fighting in this game really feels great, as well as the interesting conversations and the possibility to succeed in multiple missions simultaneously. Sometimes the game is not clear enough and the balance between missions and difficulty is a bit iffy.- XGN

Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon has an incredibly cute look to it. But don't be fooled, the game is unforgiving and challenging. The roguelike elements can feel a little off balance at times, but the fighting system and dungeons keep you going.- XGN

Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a very decent arcade game but will only hold you in its grasp for a few hours. It's a fun game and a great tribute to the original game that appeared on the SEGA DreamCast.- XGN

Dead to Rights: Retribution is a mediocre game. It has good points, it has bad points, but it never comes up with something special. It's a fun game to play, but just for once and never again.- XGN

This game is fun for kids and parents and also to play together. New is a four player coop feature. However we must be honest: the game could have been better. It's a pity that it's only a top down adventure. And it's not fun to play alone.- XGN

Zombi is still a sweet game, which surely gives you a hell of a scary time. This version misses a few features like the multplayer mode and Ubisoft didn't really brush it up graphically. Still Zombi is a game worth playing.- XGN

Mandragora is an interesting Metroidvania Soulslike that uses a skill tree to switch gameplay up. Some bugs and repetitive bosses sometimes dampen the experience, but the excellent gameplay is worth exploring.- XGN
