    This game mixes Role Playing Game elements with a puzzle game in a nice way. The difficulty increases nicely and overall the game plays well. The biggest flaw the game has is the graphics.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II unfortunately did not become what many people hoped. The graphics are beautiful, but in almost all other areas the game fails to impress.

    Resident Evil 6 makes a great introduction for newcomers to try the RE games. That being said, besides some graphical improvements there isn't any new content being offered for players who've already played the game.

    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.

    PixelJunk 4AM should be seen as an instrument instead of a game. Unfortunately the Move-controller does not have too many options and that's why this is an instrument that will not be fun for too long. It's too bad you need other people to give you kudos and gamers will probably miss the traditional game elements, which seems to be making PixelJunk 4AM simply not interesting enough.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles India is a 2.5D platformer adventure game in a league of its own. You can't compare it with its larger brother, but the low price guarantees good value for money, with challenging sections and replayability.

    Mickey should be an epic game. Unfortunately that doesn't count for this handheld version. It's too old school. People who are searching for a decent Mickey game: buy the console or PC-version (Power of Two) instead.

    War in the North is a solid game that has some challenging battles despite of the bad AI. The game can't stand up towards other big releases during this time of the year, but the three player co-op will keep fans of the franchise and the genre busy for many hours.

    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.

    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.

    Not everything used to be better in the past, but Yar's Revenge sure was. This game should have stayed in the past because the boring storyline and the repetitive gameplay just aren't up to date.

    Pid
    Pid can best be described as a typical indie game: it offers a unique world, interesting audio-visual presentation and great platform gameplay with a twist. The gameplay does have some shortcomings, but overall it's a fun game.

    While ReCore does some things right, it also fails to deliver on other fronts. The platforming in the game is excellent, and clearing dungeons with your Corebot friends is fun. However, the dull combat and technical problems ruin most of the fun.

    Lemmings Touch brings that good old formula to the PlayStation Vita, but does not do that exactly right. The touch controls don't go hand in hand with the gameplay, and the graphics look really outdated. Unless you are a big fan of the series, you can better let this game slip through your fingers.

    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.

    Blacklight: Tango Down is perhaps the best downloadable game at this point in time. The gameplay is tremendously good and has a lot to offer, however sometimes you need to wait a long time before you can enter an online match. But once you're in, you won't leave!

    It's a nice game if you just like to shoot stuff and don't care about perks and story-lines. I can offer a challenge, but lacks variation on the other hand. In the end the price seems a little steep for what you get.

    Konami starts off the celebration of 50 years of work with a nice collection of arcade games. The most games in this set did already come out on different platforms, but the bonus book is a nice addition. The Haunted Castle game does not make sense here.

    Although this hack 'n slash game has its flaws, it is quite fun and enjoyable. If you like the genre then you better get it, and not only because it's very affordable.

    If you like kartracers or Final Fantasy Chocobo GP is the game you want to try. This cute iteration brings a few good aspects from other kart racers, adds a story and famous Final Fantasy characters to it and takes all that to different locations throughout the franchise. The game feels like a complete kart racer, but it lacks variation in levels. If there were more levels and options to choose other karts, the game would feel even more complete. Still this is a fine race game to play with the kids.

    SOCOM: Confrontation is an incredible good multiplayer game, in which a tactical gameplay is mandatory. If it's ok for you to play games quick, this is definitely a game for you.

    Lonesome Road delivers on every level but creates more questions than it answers. For the fan, Lonesome Road offers a nice story line that will last for up to eight hours. It's just too linear, making it less enjoyable then some of the other downloadable content that's available for New Vegas.

    Fat Princess Adventures is a fun game to play with friends. It is packed with humor and looks great. Unfortunately it is a bit chaotic with four players, but bores quickly when playing alone. Still it's absolutely worth your money for the quiet months.

    Secret of Mana deserves a better remaster or remake than this. The game is revamped to look new, but there are numerous issues. The faces don't move and the gameplay just feels old on some accounts. Still the game is enjoyable for over 20 hours.

    Construction Simulator 2015 is a fun game for the fans. A beautiful open-world, realistic vehicles and many missions. Controls are unfortunately sometimes quite difficult and necessary bugs sometimes spoil the gameplay.

    This is a Smash clone. It's nice for kids and gamers who don't own a Wii U. But keep in mind that the gameplay itself is really simple.

    The game is not one of the tricky 2d-platformer games that made the genre. Most of the puzzles are quite easy and the timer ruins most of the fun. The gameplay itself is fun and tricky at some points.

    This part closes the Lords of Shadow saga pretty nicely. The gameplay and graphics are about the same as the original. Despite the modern setting the game pulls you into the story quite quickly.

    Sonic is back. This game is absolutely amazing on the Wii U and it keeps you busy for hours.
