    If Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers was a snack, it would be a delicious one. For just a few bucks you will get some puzzles you can solve with your own vision and creativity. The game isn't very long and after completing the story you won't have much to fall back on.

    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.

    On the surface this game seems to have it all. Good graphics, a nice soundtrack and awesome gameplay. On the other hand the framerate is not constant and the game offers no deep storyline. Still it is a nice game to play in between of the big titles.

    Chantelise is a funny little game that will be liked by people who are into anime or manga. The graphics aren't good and there are not enough checkpoints to keep the game going smoothly, but overall Chantelise offers a nice experience for only 7,99 euro.

    All in all you've got a nice game with Don King Boxing, especially if you are a boxing fan. But you might still have to wait until the game becomes cheaper, because it's not a real winner.

    Rayman returns in a nostalgic anniversary platformer celebrating 30 years, bringing classic gameplay back with surprisingly challenging levels and retro charm.

    It might take a while to find your footing with Blacksad, but that's okay. The characters are charming and the story is interesting as well. Unfortunately the game doesn't control that well and the graphics are disappointing as well.

    This is is obviously not the best co-op game to buy. However it must be said that the second part of the is much better and funnier then the first part. But still: the graphics are ugly and there are too many bugs and shortcomings to be a strong game.

    Unfortunately Sacred 2 is not better than its predecessor, but all in all it is an 'fine' RPG. Especially the big world is really recommendation worthy.

    Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories is a perfect example of a beautiful story that falls short on execution. The creators seem to have put more effort into the characters than into the game itself. You also go through the game fairly quickly, if it does not crash. The appearance of the game is somewhat disappointing as well.

    RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore is a new 'hack and slash' RPG that combines challenging levels with a bland variation in characters.

    A refreshing take on the sim-genre which doesn't take itself too seriously and doesn't think you should either. Some core-elements get repetitive quite fast, but for a quite cheap game it offers plenty of hilarious moments and original gameplay.

    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.

    Flying body parts and buckets of blood form the basics of Splatterhouse. The soundtrack and the voice overs have been done very well but the graphics just aren't up to today's standards.

    Hatoful Boyfriend Holiday Star is a crazy but fun game, though certain aspects of the game could have been done a lot better. It is definitely not a must-buy, but fans of the original will still enjoy it.

    The Splinter Cell Trilogy is still great to play, but the lack of a multiplayer mode and the addition of bugs and glitches turn this game into a lazy port. Especially considering the fact that the first two games tend to be obsolete, it's hard to recommend this bundle.

    Sure, Nexuiz is a fun shooter, but only under the right conditions. Unfortunately those right conditions are pretty rare, leaving you with unbalanced teams and terrible music.

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III can't redefine the old concept. It lacks new features but can be considered a fun new story in the successful trilogy.

    Pac-Man 256 is a fun mobile game ported 1:1 to console. Its one game mode tends to get boring after half an hour. The multiplayer offers about half an hour of fun as well, but not much more than that.

    Although graphically better, the Switch version comes with less joy than Virtual Reality versions.

    Really Big Sky is a very colorful game and really easy to understand. It sadly offers just a handful of bosses and enemies. Still, this game is worth the purchase.

    Red Johnson's Chronicles: One Against All is a puzzle game for Xbox Live. The puzzles are very difficult which will be appreciated by the puzzle fans. The game looks very good, but it will become boring after a couple of minutes.

    Fast Food Panic is sort of a Trauma Center game, which was actually a good title. Fast Food Panic is absolutely funny but unfortunately has a shortcoming: there's too less diversity. But the real question is if you're able to make fast food meals 'fast', or if you will panic and fail the mission? It's all up to you, how responsible!

    The Shoot is another typical game that demonstrates a ton of possible Move functionalities. The game isn't very unique and so we are still waiting for a very hardcore Move game.

    Section 8 lacks a finishing touch; the game doesn't shine graphically and has a weak story. However there are plenty of multi-player modes available and the sound is just fine. So Section 8 is a decent game, but only for a much lower price.

    Nail'd doesn't stand out among other off-road racing games. There are to many issues that will cause a lot of frustration. This game focusses on speed but still feels a little slow. Nail'd fails to achieve a certain quality so just wait and pick it up later for a bargain.

    One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 on Switch runs great, is amazing for fans and once again has some great combat. It's a shame that newcomers will feel lost and that losing is so punishing. It does have plenty of content for musou fans and One Piece fans alike.

    Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a fun game but it never seems to reach its true potential. The concept is interesting but it looks like the developers didn't spend enough time creating better puzzles. The co-op and the special attacks are the only things making this game worthwhile.
