    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.

    Monster High New Ghoul in School is a game in which you become part of the franchise. The 3DS game is as complete as the console version. For fans of the series, the game is a blast to play on the go, or just at home on the couch.

    The Peanuts Movie Snoopy's Grand Adventure is a great platformer for kids. It's cute, it looks good and it's diverse. Unfortunately you don't get enough content for your money as you play through it quickly.

    Famicom Detective Club bundles two games for 60 euros. The fact that these are old games meant only for the Asian market is clearly visible. The dialogues are in Japanese and the games are clearly polished in various aspects. Still, if you like a good story or two and feel the connection with your inner detective (and have a lot of time on your hands) these games scream for you. The writing of Metroid creator Yoshio Sakamoto only justifies the price even more.

    Raving Rabbids Travel in Time is like a shirt with some wrinkles in it. It looks good to the common man but the more experienced eye shall see its flaws. Still the game offers hours of fun for you and your friends.

    Call of Duty Zombies Chronicles brings some of your favorite Call of Duty zombie maps to one game. Its premise of a complete zombie experience is not fulfilled because of the price versus the amount of content it has to offer.

    A Way Out features a cinematic experience with a unique co-op twist. Although the game delivers in that way, there are plenty of improvements to be made elsewhere.

    The game doesn't really show innovation, but still is a entertaining title. Especially due to the fact that you can play everything in 3D this time does a lot.

    RPG Maker Fes does what it needs to do. That is to make sure everyone can build a RPG easily. But the game is limited in what it offers. Moreover, there should have been some explanation of what everything does.

    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.

    Mega Man 10 is on certain moments a good game, but it drops stitches as well. Furthermore, the bosses aren't all original and the soundtrack is a little bit annoying. Still the game offers enough innovation to keep you busy for hours.

    After Need for Speed Undercover the core NFS-games seemed to have become lost glory. This new Need for Speed however marks the return of those core Need for Speed elements and shows that the voice of the fans really is heard by the developers.

    Story of Seasons Trio of Towns is a game that's fun for a while. That is until you get enough money to basically do anything you want. After that, it will get bland.

    Sonic Frontiers is a bold new move for our favourite hedgehog. The open worlds give a sense of freedom and there is a lot to do. Unfortunately the most of it is the mandatory collecting of a lot of stuff to progress through the game. The controls feel good, but at higher speeds they won't always work and the camera is a total disaster. This makes the game way less enjoyable than it should be.

    Not a Hero is a challenging but fun game. It has tons of humor and a lot of graphic violence. Unfortunately it is also linear and only entertains for a short period. Still worth a try though.

    Super Monkey Ball is a good game but doesn't benefit from the 3D functionality the 3DS has to offer. The game is pretty short and you should therefore wait until the price drops before you buy it.

    The hype around Brink was huge and the game doesn't live up to all of the expectations. The campaign is extremely short and so it's the online gameplay that saves this game from demise. With the right teammates you'll have a ton of fun online.

    The Journey to Batuu expansion for The Sims 4 is basically a holiday trip to Disney Park's Galaxy's Edge area. It boasts a good selection of clothings, building blocks and accessories, and the Star Wars themed Batuu area to visit. The expansion is quite limited. Not many buildings can be entered, and any action outside the Batuu area is provided 'choose your adventure' style. Most importantly, it proves The Sims is not suitable for story driven gameplay.

    The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game isn’t perfect, but very entertaining. Its strength lies in the gameplay and the humorous parts. Although the audio lets down sometimes, every LEGO fan likes this. You're never too old to play with LEGO.

    Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is a great dogfighting game with realistic graphics and features. Flying feels great and is easy at first sight, but hard to master. On the contrary, the story feels incomplete and empty.

    If you are searching for a fresh take on the chess-genre, UHR Warlords just might be the game you are looking for. The impressive online multiplayer mode makes it even better. Just don't expect to see cutting edge graphics or animations on the characters.

    NBA 2K21 is really a good game. It has a lot of good aspects and fun modes. It is disappointing that 2K has put little effort into it. 2K21 looks kinda like a reboot of 2K20. The gameplay is top notch in NBA 2K21, except for throwing the ball. This has also caused a lot of discontent within the NBA 2K community. With the addition of the new shot meter, scoring points is a lot more difficult. This in turn ensures that you will play the game longer to really get the hang of it.

    While the game doesn't control that great it does have a unique and interesting story. The path is filled with challenges which will keep you busy for a good while. These challenges are fun to overcome but don't line up with the target audience which is a shame.

    MX vs. ATV Alive is a decent racing game that has excellent controls and a ton of customizable options. It's too bad that there just aren't that many circuits and the lack of a tutorial might put off people that are new to the franchise.

    Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure hasn't done much in terms of innovation, but its classic, solid gameplay is still a joy to experience. Thanks to the relatively short levels, Miracle Cure is perfect to play during a break or while traveling.

    The Escapists The Waking Dead is a nice and cute addition to the The Walking Dead world and provides a solid few hours of fun.

    Lost Orbit tries to be quick and quirky, but fails with the first element. It doesn't force you to go quick, which is a shame for a game where everything is build around speed. Great atmosphere, music, but a fundamental flaw in gameplay.
