    A solid game with a beautiful artstyle, fine combat system and decent music...The many text-screens do more harm to the game than they add to it.

    The only reason to buy this game, is that it's 30 euro cheaper than the Nintendo DS version. And that's only when you are an Ace Attorney fan.

    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.

    Legend of Kay is an update of an old PS2-game. It's not that great in comparison to other PS2-platform series like Rachet & Clank or Jak & Dakter. We have seen better platform-action.

    TurnOn is a simple and rustique game which forces us to slow down and look at differently at our world. A pity the game at the same time forces fast-paced levels and contains some bugs and glitches. Serenity will be found, even though briefly.

    No Compromise should have been the big finale for Watch Dogs 2, but while it starts off strong, soon it falls back to familiar grounds. The Time Trials work badly because of the wonky race mechanics, but the weapons and costumes do save the DLC.

    Rad Rodgers is with its 3/4 hours of gameplay a pretty sick game. In those hours you will face a hard challenge in a beautiful created world. The game feels repetitive sometimes, but for this price Rad Rodgers is worth picking up.

    A tactical Warhammer 40K game that is true to its board game origins, offering a deep and intriguing storyline with many possible tactical choices, and where the clock is omnipresent. The game offers a lot of atmosphere, only marred by its current buggy state. If these bugs can be squashed postrelease, the game is a treat for the fans of the tactical genre, although maybe a bit on the easy side.

    The Sims 25th Birthday Bundle delivers a nostalgic experience with the original games, offering classic gameplay and charm. However, its technical limitations make it better suited for long-time fans rather than newcomers.

    Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Martyr has fantastic gameplay that's complimented by great combat and missions. There are a few bugs and framerate problems, but the skills tied to weapon mechanics add a brilliant way to switch up combat until you find your set.

    Call of Cthulhu is an interesting retelling of H.P. Lovecrafts famous story. The game mixes aspects of detective- and horror games and does it well. Fear plays an extra factor as well throughout the story. The fun only gets spoiled by some small mistakes.

    MySims SkyHeroes is made especially for children and they'll love the gameplay. This game is definitely not for you if you're not a child and enjoy a little more action.

    Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a pretty fun arcade shooter when someone is sitting beside you. Co-op is the only good part of this game because the singleplayer is seriously lacking and online support is nowhere to be found.

    Joy Ride Turbo is a game that can be fun for a few hours, but the music is a bit boring and we can say the same thing about the variety of cars. The cars feel very slow and the circuits look too much alike, so unfortunately this game is only suitable for little kids.

    Finally Shenmue 3 is here. After 18 years Ryo's story continues. But the third chapter feels more like an enormous side mission than the continuation of the story. The game looks great and plays away like a modern game, while staying true to the first two parts. For fans this is a must play, but others don't miss out if they skip this one.

    Mafia 3 feels like an unfinished product. It has a bunch of potential, but fails to deliver. Mafia 3 simply cannot live up to the hype. Unfortunately, the good does not outweigh the bad.

    Thief is a decent game, however not as brilliant as expected. The game had some strange issues during the gameplay, although the atmosphere is still great. Nevertheless the game itself is not super, yet still decent enough with well thought out characters.

    Travis Touchdown is back with a brand new adventure called Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. This top-down viewed hack n' slasher mixes different kinds of game genres into a psychedelic adventure that plays out like a simple classic arcade game.

    Harmony of Despair is extremely entertaining for fans of platform games and most certainly for fans of the franchise. The gameplay works great although we had our hopes set on a little bit more innovation.

    Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an all out brawler. It exchanges a rich story for a mashup between Smash Bros and Warriors games. Although the fighting works great, the fights itself are often chaotic. The many unlockables and characters offer tons of fan service.

    Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an entertaining game for kids. Lots of typical Ice Age humour is interwoven in this game. The only bad thing is the length and the fact that it's all a bit too simple, so therefore platform lovers should better leave this game on the shelves.

    On the surface this game seems to have it all. Good graphics, a nice soundtrack and awesome gameplay. On the other hand the framerate is not constant and the game offers no deep storyline. Still it is a nice game to play in between of the big titles.

    Double Cross could be a great game. The ideas are fantastic, but it's riddled with missed chances. The levels are good, but there should be more. The gameplay is good, but it lacks depth and challenge. In the end the game is good, but nothing more.

    Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is a fun game for fans of the franchise. For other people the game does not offer something special.

    DC Universe Online is a very easy and fun MMO that can be played by both experienced and new RPG players. The graphics are far from perfect but this will not bother you because of the great gameplay.

    MXGP 3 is still not the game we dare to dream of. Compared to the first two games in the franchise it’s pretty good, but it contains a lot of disappointments. Luckily the key elements, the controls and the racing, work just fine.

    CounterSpy is an interesting stealth-game, with a mix between 2D- and 3D-gameplay. The graphical style and music top this amazing, little game off.

    A Pixel Story is a fun platform puzzle game which takes you on a journey through the pixelated era. It is full of homages to older games and movies and offers a healthy dose of humor and challenges, though the game gets a little repetitive after a while.

    Miitopia is a fun game for both young and old. It features humor, a lot of RPG elements and a cool Friendship Manager. But not all is as good as it seems. Traveling gets old quickly as it is automated and you can only control your own Mii.
