    Star Wars Pinball is better on the Wii U than on its handheld brother, but still a fun game to play. With different machines and the great soundtrack this game is okay. It’s up to you if you want to pay a good seven euro’s for the game.

    Oil Rush delivers a new experience within the Tower Defense genre and Unigine Corp. delivers a decent game. The flaws of Oil Rush are the lack of variety and freedom within the game. Despite these flaws, the game is a real brainteaser at times.

    Hustle Kings' controls are a little too sensitive, though the touch controls are nice. Playing pool in real life is much more fun however, as this game lacks atmosphere.

    The third episode of Life is Strange 2 delivers a constant sense of tension while focusing on the characters. The choices you have make however feel forced upon you. It's a bit weird since this episode lets you breath and delivers some depth.

    This Madagascar game is, just as it's predecessors, very adorable. The minigame kind of gameplay is connected through the story of the movie and there's enough variation to keep it interesting. It does get a bit repetitive after one town, and walking goes very slowly, but this game is perfect to play with a child.

    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.

    Game & Wario feels like Nintendo Land Part 2. It demonstrates the unique ideas behind the GamePad in an entertaining way. This would have been a nice game to have during the launch of the Wii U. Now it is nothing new and only interesting for brand new Wii U players.

    Hyrule Warriors has an attractive and well executed Zelda-skin, but the repetitive Warriors gameplay and lackluster co-op functionalities make this a less-than-successful spin-off.

    Unfortunately, Warmind fails to impress. It gives players new stuff to do which is good, but the story is ridiculously short and doesn't realize its potential. This is a waste, as the expansion could have been a lot better.

    This game really isn't expensive but the other Mortal Kombat games are just more fun to play. Also the fact that there aren't many players online is a shame.

    If you just want to race without too much difficulty, TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition is the game for you. Rounds will only last a few minutes, so you want to keep replaying this game. But it’s too repetitive too be really good and it doesn’t add something special to the land of the race games.

    Kinect Joy Ride is a good racing game that will entertain your friends and family. The steering doesn't always work but that shouldn't stop casual gamers from buying this game.

    This is a complete Micro Machines-rip off, but it does have some fun race gameplay and cute circuits. The multiplayer is a bit of a downer as there are not much racers online, but the single-player is definitely an awesome challenge.

    Some people don’t like realistic football and for those persons there is the Inazuma Eleven franchise. You can play football with amazing powers and the controls are smooth and liable. The game world isn’t that good and it’s not a technical improvement when you compare it to the earlier games. You will have fun with Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast though.

    Time Machine: Rogue Pilot doesn't stand out between all the other games that try to make profit from the ever so successful Bejeweled. It's an entertaining game for a short period, but will be forgotten soon.

    Episode 4 is not like the others. This episode focuses on solitude, reflection and reconnection. It features some exiting moments but they come too late. Still. A good setup for a great ending.

    Supreme Commander is not very accessible for beginners. Furthermore the graphics are disappointing and the controls are not always functioning like they supposed to be. That makes this game only attractive for a smaller price.

    At its core, Ghost Recon Breakpoint has a lot of potential to be a great open world game. The open world looks beautiful, but feels kind of empty. The new mechanics are funny, but a bit forced most of the time. Also, the list of technical problems is far longer than should be, right after launch.

    It would have been better if developer Eutechnyx continued developing SuperCar Challenge for say half a year, to bring the game in 2010. Because now the game just can't compete with other good racing titles.

    Gravel is a true arcade racer. The game has a lot of cars and types of events to keep you going for some time. The problem is that the tracks look very similar and that the most tracks are rallycross tracks. More tracks would create more diversity.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen arrives far too late for this generation consoles. It's a great game, but extremely outdated for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

    After Burner Climax is just like a rollercoaster: after a few rides you've gotten your thrill and then you want to try another kind of ride.

    There are a lot of things just not good enough in Sacred Citadel. The humor is terrible, and the enemies lack variety. But if you are planning a game night with some friends, there is still some fun to be had with this game. Plug some extra controllers in, switch your brain of and start mashing buttons.

    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.

    FIFA 23 is trying to give new footballing experiences to players, but falls short on many levels. Graphically the game is extremely impressive and the new match day experiences add a new sensation when stepping on the pitch. However, the problems of old, like janky animations and general slowness, are still present in the gameplay and keep frustration alive. All these things make FIFA 23 a mixed bag of awe and annoyances.

    It is not often that a platform game is really different from another platform game. Eryi's Action is very different, because it is a platform game in which you will die all over again. There are traps everywhere, which makes this videogame very frustrating. Although it is a nice twist in this old genre, we are not quite sure it is much fun.

    Godfall is a pretty game but features stale gameplay that just gets repetitive after a while. It lacks depth and fun loot to collect. The concept of the looter/slasher isn't bad, just not fleshed out enough.

    Nine Parchments is beautiful and elaborate. It's also incredibly frustrating and unbalanced.

    Race Injection offers a ton of circuits and even more cars, making sure that the replay value is very good. It is a shame though that the graphics are outdated and the technical aspects aren't great.

    Wet
    WET isn't really an original game. Several ingredients are taken from other good titles. Nevertheless, WET is amusing for a couple of hours and therefore it's just a good B-title.
