    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.

    Marvel's Avengers is at odds with itself every step of the way. Thanks to a great story that spotlights Kamala Khan as the heart and soul of this game there is enough to justify its existence. The multiplayer, however, is riddled with bugs, bad level design, and a lack of diverse content that needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

    The first impression was good but the final product isn't. It's too much money for a game without depth. The previous Zoo Tycoon games were much better.

    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.

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a typical game, based on a film. Even though there definitely are some good points, like moving through the city and the variety of approaching enemies, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 still feels rushed.

    Bee Simulator could've been something special if it had more variety in the missions and a world that didn't feel so empty. With a lack of both the game just feels a bit boring at times. The game is beautiful though and plays well so you might want to give it a chance when it's on sale.

    Astro Tripper is a decent little tribute to oldschool games but simply doesn't have enough options and modes to keep you entertained for much longer then a few hours. Hardcore gamers will enjoy this game, but only in the offline mode since there is no multiplayer present.

    ESCAPE Dead Island tries to deliver a different experience in comparison to other Dead Island games, but doesn't exactly fulfill that task. The game often gets repetitive and it lacks draft. Unfortunately, it's good looking graphics can't save the game.

    LittleBigPlanet is a fun game still. This Marvel Super Hero Edition however doesn't really add much good to the game. The minigames are not that fun and the costumes add only a skin, but you still get the full LittleBigPlanet game, which is nice.

    The concept of Tic-Toc-Tower is good, but the frustrating controls make it far less enjoyable than it sounds. Sadly the game also fails to captivate, so you don't have any motivation to play. The graphics and music can't save it from mediocrity.

    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.

    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.

    Time for the second and last DLC for Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Although not memorable and not as good as Jack the Ripper, you're bound to have some real AC-fun. Short but may very well be worth trying for the big fans out there.

    Daytona USA is a classic game. Unfortunately, classics don't always age well and Daytona suffers from a heavy lack of content, resulting in little to do. The still pretty decent gameplay and nice looks can only go so far.

    It is admirable that an indie studio comes up with a unique game that offers a great puzzle idea. Your shadow is your friend, but the controls definitely are not.

    Just like it's predecessor Dillon's Rolling Western is a fun game with a very nice atmosphere. But, just like it's predecessor it also is a game with lots of repetitive gameplay, which makes it a little bit less good than the first Rolling Western Dillon was in.

    As a Hack 'n Slash fan you can consider buying this game. Unfortunately the game is a little boring. The graphics are good but the sound isn't. All together the game is nice, but only for a short time.

    Dusty Revenge is a very fun 2D-platform game that uses elements from other genres like fighting games and beat 'em ups. Unfortunately the game is a bit laggy and is not easy to control, why it does not get as many points as it would have gotten without the technicalities.

    Although the battles are fun, the story is boring and the lack of multiplayer is unacceptable.

    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.

    A beautiful game that unfortunately isn't very unique and too lightly packed.

    People that live next to an airport know the horrible sounds that come out of a plane. Well, those sounds are pretty 'realistic' in the Planes Video Game on 3DS, which is absolutely not a positive thing. The game does look very good and there is lots of content and things to collect. It might be a bit easy, but it is a pretty neat game for little young Planes-fans.

    Spy Hunter's might have a decent basic structure, the weak controls and graphics make it less enjoyable than it could have been.

    Evil West is a game like Shadow Warrior 2, but with less flair. The game let's you enjoy co-op action with up to two players, killing vampires and other meanies. But is misses something to make it memorable or even more than an in between. Still, if you like crazy games that let you beat vampires into pulp, this is a good suggestion for the budget bin.

    This is a game which is only really enjoyable for the fans. Other people will have a hard time getting the point. The game is overloaded with characters, levels and modes, but on the other hand the battles are buggy and chaotic.

    Fowl Space is full of sexual innuendos and parodies. It is this comedy that makes Fowl Space an enjoyable game. However if you drop the jokes you're left with a very short and simplistic platform game. If you're not amused by the idea of a cock shooting a dubious white substance in the face of a viking, you better leave Fowl Space alone.

    The several power-ups and the five unique classes in World Tour make up for the somewhat repetitive gameplay. But we want dynamic gameplay and awesome features that will keep our adrenaline high. Also, the lack of split-screen is an absolute dealbreaker because Wheels of Destruction could be a great game if a local co-op feature was included. That is not the case however. A cool concept, but a poor execution. Disappointing.

    VR Worlds opens the world of virtual reality with 5 different games. It shows the possibilities the PlayStation VR offers to gamers and the gaming industry. However most of the games are quite simple and monotone. The London Heist is a big plus.
