    The Peanuts Movie Snoopy's Grand Adventure is a great platformer for kids. It's cute, it looks good and it's diverse. Unfortunately you don't get enough content for your money as you play through it quickly.

    With a mediocre story, and infuriating new mechanics, The Edge of Fate makes it clear that Destiny 2’s best days are behind it. With many softlocks and glitches to boot, the new expansion is simply a big old mess.

    The setting and world of James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game is great. Unfortunately, that doesn’t count for the gameplay and story!

    Hirogami combines Japanese origami art with magical 3D platforming, creating a world that feels both delicate and enchanting. Clever transformation mechanics keep puzzles and challenges fresh, though the camera can sometimes frustrate. Despite small flaws, it’s a creative and charming indie worth exploring.

    Even though the visuals are astonishing and very 2014-proof, the gameplay is as old as Rome itself. There are not a lot of surprises there, but Ryse: Son of Rome still is a very nice launch title for Xbox One. We really like the story.

    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.

    Dead to Rights: Retribution is a mediocre game. It has good points, it has bad points, but it never comes up with something special. It's a fun game to play, but just for once and never again.

    Frontline Nation is ideal for people that aren't used to turn-based strategy games. The focus on warfare makes it great for newcomers as long as they can look past the overpowered helicopter and the long loading times.

    Despite the fact that the franchise was a lot of fun all those years ago, the Golden Axe games can't stand their ground in 2012. This collection is a must-have for the fans of the series. If you're looking for a beat' m up: there are better alternatives available.

    This game looks amazing, thanks to the beautiful artwork. It also offers a nice experience with the tale of a blind girl searching for a red cat. However, it's all a bit too simple.

    Anoxemia is a fun game at the start, but loses its charm quickly because of repetition. The second half of the game is more challenging, but it doesn't change the fact that it is very repetitive. A fun game to play in between others, but no more than that.

    Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is a homage to successful 3D platform games, but forgets to deliver proper gameplay.

    Rogue Trooper Redux doesn't fit the Switch. The gameplay is dated and boring. It's not very playable in handheld mode.

    NHL 15 looks beautiful but behind its face there are some lacking elements. The last NHL game had obviously more modes than NHL 15 has now. It still is a fun game but not the best NHL game to get.

    Not a lot of content and it is quite repetitive, but Kickbeat is a nice, challenging rhythm-game that does not cost a lot of money. Be afraid, because the controls must be spot on to succeed in Kickbeat.

    Although there is some fun to be had with Crackdown 3, in the end the game fails to truly deliver. The campaign is repetitive, short and the world feels empty for current standards. The multiplayer is the main letdown, with barely any exciting content.

    Warface's first impression is good, but when you start to dive deeper into the game, you'll encounter some disturbing issues. Unlocking items is very hard to complete and for some people that is enough to stop playing the game completely. The overall experience is mediocre, but just won't do it for some players.

    White Knight Chronicles II improves on its predecessor, but only manages to create a forgettable experience. An overly clichéd plot and aged visuals aren't able to cover up the lacking gameplay mechanics. You do get a lot of content for your money however, and the online mode makes up for the mediocre singleplayer experience.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a fun game which will put a smile on your face. Don't expect too much of it, all you have to do is expect the fun you'll have with it.

    The concept of Dark Void is great and the gameplay generally works fine. Unfortunately, the story isn’t interesting and far too short.

    This game is fun to play but we aren't seeing anything groundbreaking. Because of all rehashes, Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions never feels like a complete game.

    The newest part in the Metal Gear franchise is Survive. While the previous Metal Gear games had a hint of stealth and action, survival plays the biggest role in this game. There's plenty of missions and zombies to slay, but they don’t have much variety.

    The first party game on the Wii U is a fact but to be honest, it's a failure. The tracklist isn't strong enough to play this game for a long time. Also, there are better karaoke games out there, think about SingStar and Lips.

    This is a game full of potential successes. Unfortunately it lacks atmosphere and features a few annoying elements. Still it is worth a try because of all the options and the changing storylines it offers, but not at full price.

    The remaster of Deadpool is not really a remaster. It's more like a port. The game is not really brushed up and offers repetitive gameplay.

    Resistance:Burning Skies offers decent controls and pretty cool weapons. Although that's an accomplishment in itself, the game does nothing further to set itself apart and merely offers a mediocre experience.

    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is everything you don't want from a live-service looter shooter. Even though the gameplay is alright, the diversity in the missions is almost non-existent, which makes the game very monotone and bland. The characters and story did get a few laughs out of me and proves that Rocksteady still has some worthwhile stories to tell, but in the end it's not enough to keep me going for endless hours.

    Raging Blast 2 is one big déjà vu that adds virtually nothing to the first game. Not even the biggest Dragon Ball enthusiast will be impressed with this, even though this is still a decent fighting game.

    Final Exam is a fun game whilst playing with friends offline or online. It proves a challenge due to a diverse group of enemies and interesting combo plus RPG-system. But when you play the game alone, it tends to get boring pretty quick.

    If you like to read your way through a game this is something for you. If you don't this could be an agonising adventure. It is a cute game to keep you busy till Pokémon X and Y come into view.
