    Puzzle Kingdoms is a nice puzzle game for the fanatics. Still, the game doesn't offer much variation which is needed. And therefore this game will disappear pretty soon in the closet.

    The Order 1886 is an amazing rollercoaster ride with beautiful graphics, and a creative setting. If you're looking for a fun third person shooter, you've come to the right place.

    Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD promises the old and trusted gameplay we know and love, but with an all new graphic layout that promises hours of fun.

    Arizona Sunshine tries to deliver another great shooter experience on the PlayStation VR. While it partly succeeds, the game also has its down sides. Controls often feel clunky, and there are some technical problems that really kill the fun while playing.

    Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a good game for those that are tired of the classical shooter games. It's not the best game out there but it will guarantee you a lot of entertainment filled hours.

    This game is difficult to describe. It is somewhere childish, but it's also cute. It's all about creating and exploring. It's a decent game but a little bit weird to play and understand.

    MX vs. ATV Alive is a decent racing game that has excellent controls and a ton of customizable options. It's too bad that there just aren't that many circuits and the lack of a tutorial might put off people that are new to the franchise.

    Hydrophobia Prophecy is a challenging and original game that takes the use of water to a whole new level. Unfortunately there are some annoying downsides, like the over usage of cut scenes and the often terrible voice overs.

    Warhammer Chaosbane is a great game if you play together. There are enough classes and ways to build your own playstyle. It has a lack of variation in worlds and enemies and the errors in the multiplayer turn the experience to a sour one.

    The King of Fighters XII doesn't offer you enough for the price of 60 euros. It feels like an old arcade game, that could have been downloaded from [XLA] for a cheaper price. The game should have taken an example to Street Fighter IV, but unfortunately it doesn't.

    Defense Technica is just your average tower defense game. It’s an amusing game, with easy to master controls. The towers could be more diverse and the A.I. isn’t that good.

    The second Transformers game contains a little more oil, but still doesn't quite cut it. The graphics and the sound are okay, but the game doesn't give the right signals. Because of the extras Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is interesting for the fans, but for everyone else there's not much to look at here.

    Impact Winter has loads of interesting gameplay elements that blend perfectly together and create a good experience. The tension is excellent as well, but it often gets ruined by annoying bugs. The game also suffers from really bad keyboard controls.

    We found Dragon Ball Z: Budokai HD Collection to be boring and incredibly monotonous. Dragon Ball Z used to be a great television series, an awesome franchise. But what is left is something that will most probably only appeal to twenty-something men in search of nostalgia.

    The UnderGarden is a simple game that doesn't make you think to much. You'll be fully relaxed thanks to all the bright lights and smooth sounds coming from your television.

    The Tiny Bang Story has a ton of puzzles and a great atmosphere. You can't deny that a lot of love has been put into this game. One of our few major gripes however is that you will notice there's a lack of variety, as you progress through this pretty short game. If you can look past this matter, you will find an absolutely charming point and click game that you may fall in love with.

    Croixleur turned out to be a little game with a lot of spirit. Sadly this doesn't make up for the few hours of gameplay the game offers. It's not very special but it will only cost you a couple of dollars.

    Sword Art Online: Lost Song is a game that delivers fan service to players, but fails at delivering graphics for PS4. Also it contains boring surroundings and lacks a decent story. If you buy it, go for the PS Vita version.

    Come on Sony, where is the online multiplayer? Shame on you. The game is fun, has a great track creator, plays nice but there's no online multiplayer which is a bummer.

    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.

    Brawl is Bloober Teams redemption for Basement Crawl, which failed miserably. Now they make up for it with a much better version of the game. In the multiplayer it offers a lot of fun, but there still is a long way to go.

    Heroes Over Europe has become a decent flight game. But you should consider Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, if you’re looking for more serious simulation flight action.

    Backbone did a good job by implementing gameplay that is obviously meant for four player co-operation. Never Die Alone is quite challenging, requiring a bit of tactical thinking. The last levels will bore you however, because the game is rather monotonous.

    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.

    Those who have seen Wanted should certainly play this game, because the story continuous where the movie has stopped. Other shooter fans, better leave this title out. The game is too standard, and not worth 60 euro for only 3 hours of gameplay.

    Capcom has already released this game once with success, but this remake doesn't contain enough changes. Still the game has enough elements to keep you entertained for a few hours. So it's not a game of the highest quality, but it's worth the 30 euro.

    It's all about racing in Superstars V8, and that's exactly why there is a lack of game modes. If you're looking for such a game and you don't expect much more, then Superstars V8 Racing is certainly made for you. But for most of us its probably a bit to simple.

    The concept of B.A.S.E. Jumping is great, but not ready in its current state. The game lacks to give you a real adrenaline boost, while B.A.S.E. Jumping will. Skydive: Proximity Flight will also come to Oculus Rift which will obviously give you a more authentic experience.

    Watch Dogs for Wii U is still a fun game but it is just poorly made. There are a lot of technical problems and driving in particular is really bad. We had to wait six extra months for a mediocre game.

    Agents of Mayhem is an over-the-top hero shooter with lots of agents to choose from. The game pays an homage to old cartoon series with weird enemies, cool cut-scenes and a lot of action. Sadly the game suffers from the common flaws of the open world genre.
