    If you're searching for your inner troglodyte, look no further. Caveman Warrior is a 2D platformer that you can play with friends in local co-op. Although the balance seems off, eating dinosaurs, nazis and robots in chaotic, action packed gameplay is fun.

    Uno
    UNO on the Nintendo Switch is a fun game, but it lacks multiple modes which can make it quite boring after a while. Fortunately the online aspect of UNO is quite good and will make you play the games for multiple hours.

    The Mage's Tale is one of the most gorgeous VR-games to date for the PlayStation 4.

    Operation Flashpoint: Red River is at its best when you play the cooperative mode. The gameplay is realistic and you really have to work together if you want to survive. When you play the game alone there isn't much fun to be had, partly due to the weak AI.

    LEGO The Incredibles is a game you will definitely enjoy if you loved other LEGO games. It has some great humor and is a dream come true for all Pixar fans. Still, the game feels a bit uninspired with a lack of unique characters and the same bugs again.

    Lost Sphear is a new game from Tokyo RPG Factory. It is decent but has some very old features and therefore 50 euros is way too much.

    Although the battles are fun, the story is boring and the lack of multiplayer is unacceptable.

    Forget the previous part and give Knack 2 a chance. It proves capable of making a comeback against all odds. Although some features may remind you of the first game too much or are a little too childish, Knack 2 is a good game for both young and old.

    Oninaki is an interesting twist on the concept of death, but has a lot of flaws to go with it. The music is great and the variety in gameplay works really well. The gameplay itself isn't great though.

    MotoGP 09/10 is definitely worth buying if you are looking for a fun motorcycle racing title. But for the serious motorcycle enthusiasts it's better to wait and see what SBK X will offer.

    This episode is interesting. It gives us a deeper view on the characters, but you can feel that this is a mid-season episode. The emotional moments are not that strong as earlier episodes and the end of this episode shows something you could have seen coming.

    Tumble VR builds on the surprisingly good game Tumble on the PS3. With 70 very diverse puzzles with increasing skill levels the game is far from dull. The VR adds an other dimension and will keep young and old busy for a while.

    It might take a while to find your footing with Blacksad, but that's okay. The characters are charming and the story is interesting as well. Unfortunately the game doesn't control that well and the graphics are disappointing as well.

    Swarm is a game with a nice concept, which unfortunately isn't properly elaborated in the gameplay. Before you spend thirteen bucks, check if you have enough patience to play the same level over and over again.

    Are you fond of hockey and do you want to play a match once in a while? Then NHL 2K10 is a good title for you. But if you're looking for a more serious game, EA's NHL 10 will be a better choice.

    Kirby's Blowout Blast is a very cool, but way too short game. It has every Kirby element you need and it is ideal for on the road. There are no challenges in the game and the framerate drops if you use 3D. Still you get a very nice game for only 7 euros.

    Foul Play is absolutely charming and a good co-op game. However the length is too short and the game itself is too easy.

    Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is still an exciting fighting game. But this 'definitive' version lacks -yet again- fresh new content. Which is why it's only interesting for those who haven't played Dead or Alive 5 before.

    With Need for Speed Nitro EA proves it can deliver a good arcade race game. However if you are a die hard racefan, you can forget this game. It isn't a Ferrari but you may proudly call it a Volkswagen.

    Ancients of Ooga gives a unique twist to the platform genre but loses a lot of it's magic due to it's repetitive gameplay. The co-op is a let-down but this shouldn't stop platform fans from buying the game.

    Fire Emblem Warriors on 3DS is a great port of the Switch game. The visuals are less good, but the gameplay is smooth and entertaining.

    Mad Max just breathes the atmosphere from the movies, though it has only a little to do with them. On the other hand the game offers nothing new and doesn't shine specifically. Still, it is a lot of fun to wreak havok across the immense desert.

    Hey Pikmin is a new and sidescrolling title for the Nintendo 3DS. Although the gameplay is fun, it's not that hard. The challenges are there when you make them yourself as a player. The Pikmin are cuter than ever and it's an easy title to pick up.

    Poker Night 2 offers some fun characters, extra’s and especially dialogues, but those start to repeat quickly and the lack of modes prevents you from coming back.

    The game features a very strong playlist, but lacks in renewal. Next to that it's still impossible to play the game online, which should be an option by now. A great game for people that love karaoke for only 40 euros, but for the rest of us not really a must have.

    With a fun story mode and a ton of minigames there is a lot to love about Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The game is full of fun facts about the event and history that keep you learning as you play. The map could be better and there maybe is too much reading involved, but that doesn't take away from the game in any big way.

    I Am Alive is a great game and it clearly has its similarities with Assassin's Creed. But don't worry, you'll definitely get that typical survival feeling. Unlike Altair and Ezio, you are not a superhero and have you'll have to take a stamina bar into account. The combination of the AC feeling and the survival theme makes I Am Alive a great game. It's a pity that the controls aren't always as smooth.

    Farming Simulator 17 speaks to a specific market segment, and that segment only. If you are not into agriculture, you will be guaranteed to be bored. For those who love farming, FS17 has a lot to offer.
