    You must be a really big Tekken fan if you want to buy Tekken Hybrid. This collection does so many things wrong in so many ways that it's a disgrace to the Tekken franchise. Your best bet is to wait for the release of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

    James Bond 007: Blood Stone is a good shooter that has a lot of variety to offer. This game will keep you entertained until the end. It would have been an instant classic if it wasn't for the numerous mistakes and glitches.

    Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident brings you hours of puzzling. The puzzles are challenging and are complimented by atmospheric images and sounds. The Malgrave Incident is one of this years better puzzling games.

    Eat Them! is fun for a while but gets repetitive really fast because all of the missions are basically the same. The bonus missions help a bit but it's not enough to make Eat Them! a must have game.

    The gameplay of Journey of a Roach is a bit on the short side, but that's to be expected of an indie title like this one. Sure, you'll finish the game in a few hours. Five, maybe six. But in that short period of time you'll have a blast. And that's why we think Koboldgames and Daedelic deserve a round of applause. We have a saying in Holland: 'klein maar fijn', and that's an accurate description of Journey of a Roach. It's relatively small, but great nonetheless!

    Grey's Anatomy has become a nice game but the sound does not match the TV-show. The minigames are far to easy. All with all this game will probably and up searching for dust in you're closet.

    Harms Way is a free game for the Xbox Live Marketplace that is worth a quick download. However, due to the lack of variation you will drop this game within the first couple of hours. Not even the mildly amusing multiplayer won't be able to change that.

    The graphics of Fairy Fencer F are interesting and fun, especially the characters make this game lovely. It is too bad that it is a little bit too classical RPG, as it does not do a lot of good new things to the genre. Plus, the storyline has not been worked out very well throughout the game, which is a big miss.

    While it's shooter mechanics and open mission structure, make the game fun to play. There are also plenty of technical flaws or poor design choices that ruin that same fun experience. Glitchy maps, weird AI movements and a poor story make this shooting adventure feel mediocre instead of great.

    A platformer that's hampered by it's focus on telling a tale of an ecological drama. The enormous environments are widely different, but are all dark an gloomy, while protagonist Gaia can temporarily bring brightness. Gameplay is diverse, even though Gaia could really benefit from the ability to shy away from edges, making the platforming more difficult than necessary. There is a great game here, but it isn't allowed to shine due to the unrelenting desire to get the ecological story across.

    This latest Resident Evil game only gives you five missions to play over and over. The controls are far from perfect and so this game isn't worth full price. The 3D-images do look great however, and the co-op mode will entertain you for hours to come.

    The Escapists The Waking Dead is a nice and cute addition to the The Walking Dead world and provides a solid few hours of fun.

    Although the basic gameplay of Hoard is fun and entertaining, the game offers little content. It's also a game that you have to play with friends. Luckily all of the game modes are playable online.

    It's nice to see Michonne as leading character now in a new The Walking Dead game from Telltale. She is a strong character. However the first episode contains some weak dialogue. But the zombies in the water are awesome.

    Outward is an extraordinary RPG with its difficulty and deep RPG system. You can fight with another player, but the AI is not quite good and the controls are a bit clonky. It is a shame the graphics are also outdated.

    Choplifter HD would be an excellent game in the arcades, mostly because each level only takes a few minutes to complete. Unfortunately, this short length leads to the fact that it's unpleasant to play in the living room. The requirement of multitasking in the heat of battle in the later levels, makes up for this a little bit. We would rather plug in our old NES again.

    The game disappoints on many levels although the story and the characters show plenty of depth. The game isn't great and should not be bought at full price.

    If you are looking or a game with loads of content, Dynasty Warriors should be your thing. It's too bad that the storytelling in this game isn't that great.

    Go Vacation has a lot of different mini-games but frankly we've seen it all before. The exploration aspect really is the only original thing in this game. The multiplayer can be a lot of fun, but the controls aren't as good as other games, like Wii Sports Resort.

    Naval War: Arctic Circle is a deep strategical game that might attract some hardcore gamers. Most people however won't be impressed with the bad graphics and the sub-par multiplayer.

    Gear Club Unlimited tries to be the race game the Nintendo Switch needs and deserves, but fails. The racing aspect is good for on the go gaming, but the brakes don't really work and if you've seen three or four environments, you've seen them all.

    Conduit 2 is like a typical B-movie: action, action and even more action. Sometimes the events try to be very spectaculair but somehow it never seems to grab you by the throat. That doesn't matter though, because Conduit 2 is a decent game.

    Defiance is an enjoyable game, which needs to be polished to really shine. The shooting-mechanism works great and shooting with and against other Ark Hunters is great fun. The game has some downsides but there aren't major errors. The connection with the series still has to prove it self and that is something only time will tell.

    CARGO! - The Quest for Gravity is a one of a kind game. The game offers unique and weird visuals which boost the general atmosphere. You will find yourself guessing what your missions are and that gets very irritating. After six hours, your journey is over and you have no clue about what just happened.

    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.

    Metroid returns after 6 years to the Nintendo 3DS with Metroid Prime Federation Force. While the game certainly isn't the dream comeback the Metroid franchise needs, it's a fun experience nonetheless that should be fully enjoyed with four players.

    Shadow of the Beast unleashes a beast out for revenge. It offers some puzzles, a lot of platforming and even more disgustingly good hack and slash action. There is a lot of stuff to unlock as well which keeps you busy for hours.

    The concept of Monsteca Corral Monsters vs Robots is kinda nice, but the bad graphics ruin the fun. The game is barely worth your 500 Nintendo Points.

    The Silver Case is a interesting murder story which follows two different perspectives: the story of a detective and the story of a freelance writer. The game has some useless dialogue and frustrating movement controllers, but delivers a lot of content.

    Although Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters offers an intricate RPG ghost hunting game, the visual novel aspect is boring at times. The lack of tutorials is surprising, especially regarding the unique interactive "emotion wheel".
