    Top Darts on the PS Vita is much better than on the PlayStation 3. Thanks to a number of new mini games and the intuitive control of the touchscreen, playing darts on a handheld has never been this fun.

    PAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition has a lot of wasted potential. It's a fun game to play with your friends, but unfortunately the online mode does not work properly, as it contains too many bugs and lag to enjoy the game as you should.

    The Teal Mask could have been a great expansion for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet if Game Freak had taken the time it needed to address and fix the overwhelming amount of issues that still plague the overall package. The fun stories and great Kitakami area make for some good fun if you can look past the technical troubles.

    Dragon Age II: Legacy is a pretty boring expansion. The combat is a bit more challenging, but the use of tactics doesn't make any sense. Legacy isn't a bad downloadable expansion, but is just very disappointing.

    Aliens vs. Predator is a worthy title in the franchise. The atmosphere is nice and it's a lot of fun to play as Alien, Predator or Marine. But only this possibility is not enough for the game to rise above it's competitors.

    Dillon's Rolling Adventure is a fun and original tower defense game. It feels great to roll around and fight a bunch of weird monsters. Unfortunately the gameplay gets too repetitive near the end.

    This game is cheap, but even cheaper on the mobile phones. It's not really a game about fighting or kung fu. It's all about a cute bunny in a world wherein players are jumping and searching for carrots.

    Surf World Series tries to be a game about an extreme sport, but kind of fails in that aspect. Sure, the surfing is good and the tricks are fun to do, but it gets quite boring after a while and the game has not much to offer for replayability.

    A Dontnod game without signature episodes and supernatural powers, but with an intriguing murder-mystery and tensions between all involved as protagonist Sam returns to his hometown to visit the funeral of his best friend - and his partner, Sam's ex-girlfriend. Dontnod introduces some interesting new concepts like the mind palace, but they are not fleshed out enough to be memorable.

    Disappointing on Wii U. The game is repetitive, lacks challenge and doesn't have a single-player mode.

    The console version of Need for Speed the Run is nice. That's not the case for the 3DS version. There is not enough to explore and there is almost nobody online. You can complete the game within a few hours and then it's done. Furthermore the quick time events are really annoying while you're playing.

    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.

    Heroes of Might and Magic III HD brings back the epic game from 1999. You can spend hours playing this again but at the same time the HD-version is incomplete. For this price the expansion packs should've certainly been in there.

    All together The Godfather II really is a fun title to play. The game is not perfect, but brings you a good atmosphere, great storyline and a intense mobster experience. The features to extend your family and the Don's View, are really great new extras.

    The gorgeous design of this game cannot hide the fact that this actually is a very limited shooter that gets boring very easily. Too bad, because it is a game that is very easy to learn.

    The game approaches the realism of motorsports in general, and the nasty weathe-visuals in the game look good. Overall though, the graphics are not that great and the game doesn't show much improvement over earlier games.

    Rememoried is in one part walking simulator and the other a puzzle game. The breathtaking audiovisual quality and the surrealistic experience complement the first, but frustrating puzzle mechanics make it a game with two faces.

    F1 2015 brings racing gameplay to a new level. Handling is close to perfection with lots of stuff to customize. Howerever, there aren't as many game modes as you would hope.

    UEFA Euro 2012 gives you the feeling that EA Sports didn't deliver its best work. The gameplay has become worse and the online mode is fun but has some uninspired options. Come on EA Sports, this isn't what we're used to.

    Patience is a virtue with Wii Party U. The game is a lot fun, especially with your friends or family on the couch. However, some games simply depend on luck, which aren’t quite fair. If you’ll be playing solo you’ll encounter some rather slow computer, which you can’t even skip. It takes the speed out of a good game.

    Darkspore has become a solid action adventure game and that's mostly due to the co-op mode. Maxis shows that it's capable of making games outside of the simulation genre but for a Spore spin-off this game lacks of innovation.

    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.

    Risen 3: Titan Lords is a great game, but it is a bit short on story and depth. If you are into RPG’s, please take the plunge for a few hours and see if this is your cup of tea. Combat has been improved so Risen-fans will be happy.

    Just leave this puzzle game alone, it's not nice to play. The Dr. Mario games from the past were so much fun and so much better. This one isn't worth its money.

    Yoshi is an awesome character and he will always remain that. However, New Island is more suitable for kids then adults. The levels are nice, but too easy, which is a pity.

    Just skip this edition. The commentators are literally ten year old and haven’t changed in a such a long time. It seems Pro Cycling Manager 2013 was just assembled from the 2012 edition. No changes whatsoever, even though it welcomes newcomers okay.

    More story than game. Not everybody will enjoy playing this Japanese rpg, but for those who has a long breath, it's story will be amazing.

    Although the story is pretty boring there is much fun to be found thanks to the combat systems and plenty of secrets to uncover in this bleak world. That's why Valkyrie Elysium is a fantastic time if you're keen on some fighting action.

    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.

    Mini Ninjas Adventures feels just as Japanse and zen as its predecessor, but with totally different controls and gameplay. It works very well with Kinect, though it might cause some pain in your right arm for hitting too much with the sword. It's a cutesy family game that will bring hours of fun, but that's all it is.
