    The 2D Worms games have always been the best ones in the franchise and Worms Ultimate Mayhem only further proves that statement. The gameplay is slow and even firing a weapon sounds easier then it really is. As every Worms game, this one is funny and will give you some crazy weapons to work with. If you have an Xbox 360 and you want to play Worms, just go for Worms 2: Armageddon.

    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 Kirby game looks amazing and for kids it is fun to give them the feeling that they can paint and play at the same time. However it's annoying to use the stylus through he whole game. So therefore it's a bit disappointing.

    Heroes of Ruin is a fun dungeon crawler with tons of loot to collect and more than enough possibilities to connect with other players. The game is a bit standard though, failing to stand out from the croud.

    System Shock Remake lacks the polish we've come to expect from modern remakes, but it is definitely the best version of a cult classic. It feels a bit old, but the creepy atmosphere and mysterious story make players want to explore it. You'd think a game about AI would have better NPC's, though.

    Helm's Deep is an expansion pack purely meant for the fans of the books. It contains less action sequences compared to Peter Jackson's movies, but the newly added Big Battles make up for it. On the other hand is Rohan finally showed in all it's glory, which is a sight to behold.

    Defiance is an enjoyable game, which needs to be polished to really shine. The shooting-mechanism works great and shooting with and against other Ark Hunters is great fun. The game has some downsides but there aren't major errors. The connection with the series still has to prove it self and that is something only time will tell.

    FIFA 18 for the Switch is a game that plays nice;u, but has its flaws. The game runs smoothly on the console, but it does miss some key components compared to other versions. The online support isn't perfect either.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Shadwen is a competent and somewhat enjoyable stealth game, but not exactly memorable. While the core experience and some of its mechanics, such as the time manipulation mechanics, are quite well done, the game suffers from a general lack of polish.

    Outstanding and challenging gameplay. Unfortunately due to its inconvenient controls and some other problems, it won't be the best Housemarque game you'll encounter.

    Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 episode 2 has some impressive moments. But with bleak characters and dialogues alike, it doesn't make it the best episode in the series.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is another good installment in the series. However, there are some flaws. The setting is far too small and you will find yourself visiting the same locations time after time. Next to that, there are some flaws in the story. Although the writing is good, the game loses focus once in a while and lets you LARP instead of looking for clues. Overall it's just a good popcorn game, but not more than that.

    It is a fun game for the young and less experienced gamers. However, due to the fact that the game is not very challenging, Mini Ninjas is not recommendable for the regular gamer. Moreover the lack of an offline or online multiplayer mode is a pity.

    Atomic Ninjas looks stunning on the handheld. It has a fun and simple gameplay, but it gets quite repetitive after a while. Best thing of the game is the Noob Rage, which lets you kick some ass. It has however some excruciating loading times. Overall, it´s an okay game for the catalog of the Vita.

    Even though the story in Nights of Azure isn't original, combining it with a lesbian love story and a great battle system works out for the game. Sometimes the cutscenes lack great graphics, but the music and the low budget compensates for these flaws.

    Even though Cubetractor is a very solid game and a nice mix of different genres with a little twist, the retro graphics of this game and the accompanying music start to bore very easily.

    Yesterday Origins is in its heart a wonderful point-and-click adventurer. With a story that grabs you with its both hands, it drags you down to a wonderful adventure. Unfortunately, an adventure that is manifested by technical problems.

    Total War Attila is a beautiful game, although it's not that different from the previous Total War entries. The rag-doll physics look good, but the warship gameplay falls a little flat compared to the rest of this very well made game.

    Halo: Spartan Assault brings the Halo universe once again back on the Xbox 360, but in a different way as you are used to see the franchise. This top-down shooter is an enjoyable journey through the world of the Spartans. However, it is a very short adventure. Too short in our opinion.

    Fuse is a surprisingly fun experience that has successfully combined elements from other games and sometimes even slightly improves upon them. Sadly, the repetition in enemies and lacking sense of progression make Fuse feel rather cheap. The result is a game that should mostly be played with friends, as the joy of co-op can make you forget about the otherwise noticeable flaws.

    After a long early acces Ark Surival Evolved became a gigantic game in terms of content. Hundreds of hours will be spend building bases, taming dinos en making new friends (or enemies). However fun it all seems, technical issues will impact your experiences.

    Lethal League is a very creative brawler that's easy to learn. The fitting soundtrack and unusual way of fighting make it a very fun game to play.

    Hohokum is a really relaxing game, with brightly colored worlds and soothing music, but people looking for a challenge are at the wrong address with Hohokum.

    Dreamfall Chapters offers a unique experience and contains good dialogues. However, the quality is not as good as the Telltale games. It feels outdated.

    The game is good. The rules and play style vary slightly from the board game which makes the game interesting. The campaign is tricky at some points although it gets repetitive when you play too long.

    It's nice to see Michonne as leading character now in a new The Walking Dead game from Telltale. She is a strong character. However the first episode contains some weak dialogue. But the zombies in the water are awesome.
