    Developer Milestone has managed to create a nice rally game that somehow disappoints in the visual department. Race fans should buy this game, but only when it has been lowered in price.

    Toki looks better than ever and plays great if you don't get stuck at a bad respawn point. When you die a bunch you need to start the game all over again and you can't save either. It's a shame because saving would make this retro game so much better.

    One Piece Burning Blood is an easy to play fighting-game with some great graphics. Unfortunately the story mode is somewhat short and the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive after a while. It is still a great game for fans of One Piece despite the flaws.

    Kinect Sports: Season Two doesn't do anything particularly better than the first game, but includes six new sports. There is a good variety in gameplay, going from the more active sports like american football to more passive sports such as darts. It's just a pity that the graphics are so outdated.

    The combination of a driving and a sandbox game, complete with new car moves, makes Wheelman a very nice game to play for many hours.

    Apache: Air Assault is a great flight simulator that really knows how to show the true importance of helicopters during warfare. The controls and the gameplay won't let casual gamers join in on the fun and so Air Assault is really for those that have been playing with toy helicopters as a kid.

    A fairly decent rally game. But one that lacks a certain depth that the competition represents. The engine still needs a lot of work, and level design could be more consistent.

    As Activision’s popular franchise keeps sinking away in quicksand, Black Ops 7 presents a new low for the shooter. The campaign is absolutely horrendous, as is the new mode Endgame. Aside from removing skill-based matchmaking, multiplayer offers nothing new or exciting. At the very least, Zombies is still good for countless hours of fun, but it really acts as a crutch for Treyarch in Black Ops 7.

    Damsel is a fun and chaotic game, where you need to know what to shoot and when to shoot it. The arcade shooter has its fun times, but with the repetitive levels and the sudden changes in difficulty, it is hard to keep on playing Damsel.

    The Crystal Bearers has become a nice Wii game with excellent graphics. With 20 hours of gameplay, the game offers you enough fun, but has some flaws with the camera. Despite this, The Crystal Bearers is a must-have for RPG fans with a Wii.

    Rise of Venice is an addictive game, despite a few flaws. The sea battles are boring, while the tutorials is not covering all important aspects. However, when you discovered all options and possibilities the game gains its momentum.

    Ultra Street FIghter II is truly the ultimate version of the game. It has a new look, a lot of fan service, tons of modes, and new characters. It is a shame the Switch controller just was not made for fighting games.

    Call of Duty Heroes is a nice mobile strategy game and has its own unique twist. Sometimes it feels like something you've already played in an other game, but will do for Call of Duty-fans.

    Hidden Agenda fails to deliver on its potential. The game makes some poor design choices, making it hard to fall in love with this game. Hidden Agenda, nevertheless, gives hope for more non-party PlayLink games.

    Titan Quest's gameplay is decent, but incredibly outdated. Also, this RPG on the console is very clumsy to play because of the sloppy controls.

    Despite some flaws, FUEL is so much fun to play you'll keep coming back to it.

    While the DLC takes some time to find its footing, there are some interesting tidbits to be found. Unfortunately, the adventure comes to a close just as things get exciting. Fans can rejoice though thanks to the added boss fights that offer up a whole new challenge.

    Nail'd doesn't stand out among other off-road racing games. There are to many issues that will cause a lot of frustration. This game focusses on speed but still feels a little slow. Nail'd fails to achieve a certain quality so just wait and pick it up later for a bargain.

    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is a game which is absolutely charming to fans of the manga/series. For others it is a mediocre hack and slash game with simplified (but great) combat, but outdated graphics.

    It is a bit disappointing to learn that the story is quite weak in this Final Fantasy game. If you compare it to other Final Fantasy titles you would expect a more thought out storyline. On the other hand, the new battle system is very good, but it cannot compensate for the lack of a good plot.

    State of Decay 2 has an impressive open world that comes to life in many ways, but lacks a sense of purpose which makes it boring. It’s a shame the game is filled with bugs because the strategic options are a great way to make play sessions unique.

    Detective Pikachu Returns marks the return of beloved duo. The game offers a perfect start for young detectives among us, but the puzzles and cases are made too easy for adults. It's mostly for families, with a linear story, but the writing is very charming.

    MotoGP 18 is the latest installment of Milestones motorcycle game series. Although the transition to the Unreal Engine 4 brings a lot of improvement, the other side of the coin is that you can't shake the thought that it could have been much more.

    Diluvion is one great sea adventure like you've never seen. A must-buy if you hold on to the stigma around under water games.

    Mario and Sonic are two legendary characters that unfortunately don't always guarantee a good game. There are a lot of mini games to play but the lack of an online multiplayer is annoying. There's only local and download play. It's funny but only kids will be able to enjoy it to the max.

    MXGP for PS4 has four extra tracks and slightly better graphics, but is still the same boring, almost clinical and thus disappointing motocross game.

    Battlezone is a wonderful old Atari game in a new jacket called VR. The game looks great, but is difficult to master. The presence of only one mode in singleplayer and multiplayer is a let down.

    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.

    This is just a fun game with family and friends. It's a board game that comes alive and it's really nice to play. Not only for now, but also for the coming months.

    The Sims 4 is a very enjoyable game which will give you a lot of tools to be creative in creating your own Sims and their lives. The game gives exactly the same experience as the PC version, though the controls are terrible. You'll hate your controller for it.
