    Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince is a nice action adventure game. But more depth and variation in the gameplay would have been welcome. The game doesn't always give the player a magic feeling, but it still remains fun to be able to use some magic.

    This second installment in the King Arthur franchise can be great fun, but doesn't offer enough depth. The AI is just stupid at times, making the experience less enjoyable. Still, the vibe is pretty good and it really feels like you're part of King Arthur's magical world.

    3 on 3 NHL Arcade doesn't offer you enough to call itself a complete game. EA should add this game to a real NHL game, so you can spend your money on better titles.

    Worms Ultimate Mayhem isn't the best Worms game to date but brings that great sense of humor and over the top weapons that we've grown so fond of. There are some issues with the camera and the game progress can be slow at times. Ultimate Mayhem has a lot to offer but the real Worms fans will stick to the 2D games.

    Need for Speed is a nice reboot of the series, but with its own flaws. From a technical standpoint the game looks amazing, and the sound is great too. There is plenty of content in the box, but the game lacks personality.

    Among the Sleep gives a fresh perspective by looking at the world through the eyes of a two year old. The puzzles in the game get repetitive and are too easy.

    Bleeding Edge is an online 4v4 brawler in which two teams fight to control objectives. The combat in the game feels satisfying and the characters are well balanced. Teamwork is very important and therefore as a solo player, it can be frustrating when your team doesn’t work together. It’s a shame that there is very little content in the game. Updates with more fighters, game modes and maps are desperately needed to keep Bleeding Edge fresh and entertaining.

    Disney Universe is a misleading title. The game lacks the typical Disney magic and isn't that involved with the franchise. The only Disney related things in this game were a few costumes and the names of a few movies. Only the youngest of gamers might enjoy this.

    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.

    Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong is a narrative driven game that delivers an interesting plot, through the eyes of three totally different vampires. Sadly the game fails to fully commit to that story and stumbles along the way. While there are some memorable moments of joy and euphoria, there are as many moments that you'd rather just play something else. Many game mechanics work more against you rather than helping you, and on a technical level the game sometimes feels sluggish at best.

    Two of the most awesome games from a few generations back are stripped down to almost nothing and are distributed full of bugs. Even the thirteen year old originals are technically better than this remake. On the other hand, it is a great blast from the past and a reminder of how cool the Tony Hawk games used to be.

    The most fun part of this game are the mini games. The challenge mode is nice to play, however it has its shortcomings. The camera position isn't always working so well. But the levels are different and nice to play.

    The game is really based around the story and that's about the only good thing about it. It looks all right, but doesn't challenge you that much. Also the voices and the animations aren't that great. For Christie fans, yes. For the rest, no.

    The combination of brilliant Move-controls and funny mini games makes Carnival Island one of the best partygames on the PlayStation 3 this year. The visual aspect is very nice and in spite of the loading times and the rare crash, Carnival Island is worth buying.

    The transition of The Outer Worlds to the Switch is a decent one. All the content and dark humor are still there. The gameplay pretty well in handheld mode despite the Joy-Cons aren't particularly well equipped to handle a First Person Shooter. The game suffers from popups and load times, but nothing unbearable. Overall a decent package, especially for those who want to play on the go. If you plan to mostly play docked, you might want to check out one of the other platforms.

    The latest installment in the Might & Magic Heroes franchise might not be the best game ever in the series, but the complete edition filled with extra content will guaranteed keep you busy for hours. Whether you're new to the game or veteran.

    Scribblenauts Showdown is a fun party game and offers players a lot of fun content. It might get boring when not playing in the co-op mode, though the Sandbox mode and its fun missions make up for the lack of another player in the team.

    Burnout Crash is fun as a mini-game, but not as a full arcade game. Its repetitive nature and unimpressive visuals will bore you and turn Crash into a barely interesting one trick pony.

    Teenage girls can have some fun with yet another karaoke game. But for all the others counts: don't waste your lungs with this game. Our suggestion: More Michael Jackson songs next time please.

    It's logical not to buy The Black Eyed Peas Experience if you hate them. But if you like the band, give it a try. It's fun, it has great gameplay and the addition of a microphone is very nice.

    This game is so much fun for almost everybody. It looks great and is nice to play. You would enjoy this much as you love Mario Kart games. The levels are well designed, especially where you see Gargamal and the famous red cat. It's also nice that there are two ways to race: a normal version and a faster one. The latter is not even easy.

    F1 2011 on the PS Vita is just as disappointing as on the 3DS. The game doesn't play the same as the superior console-versions and visually it's lacking quality.

    It's all about racing in Superstars V8, and that's exactly why there is a lack of game modes. If you're looking for such a game and you don't expect much more, then Superstars V8 Racing is certainly made for you. But for most of us its probably a bit to simple.

    The game has some nice puzzles, but the click and view system is a bit simple and it isn't possible toe walk around freely. In addition there are many unnecessary amounts of text that are slowing down the speed of the game. It's a simple game for casual gamers. So don't expect an exciting detective work.

    UnEpic is a big Metroidvania game which offers tons of weapons, enemies and rooms. It easily entertains you for 15 hours, but meanwhile the jokes can become an overkill. Still, the game is absolutely worth your time and money.

    This DLC fails to overcome the criticisms that dragged down the original game. The story is short and without surprises and mostly relies on some fun side quests. Luckily the gunplay is still as amazing as it was back in May and thanks to some welcome new additions the gameplay only gets better.

    New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis isn't worth buying. If you like to play tennis on your Wii, stick to Wii Sports or wait until Virtua Tennis 2009 comes out.

    Stronghold Crusader 2 delivers exciting RTS battles and is a fun castle-building simulation, which challenges the player every single match. Despite this, the game is disappointing in many other areas, and because of that we yearned numerous times for its predecessor.

    Kirby Fighters 2 delivers an upgrade from the original but still lacks depth. there are enough characters, but in fact, they are all the same more or less. The attacks are similar for every character for instance. Still, there is enough to do in the game. most of the characters, levels, and outfits need to be unlocked and the story is quite long. Just because of that the game is fun to play for the price of twenty euros.

    Only fans of the television show and fans of Manga games will really like this title. Still you don't have to be afraid of creating large blood pools.
