    Starting The Sims 4 after years of The Sims 3 will definitely make you wish for an open world again. The Sims behave more realistically, but after two generations you are pretty much done with all functions and you start to feel how limited The Sims 4 is. Let's hope for some good expansion packs.

    Despite the low price of this downloadable content, it isn't really worth its money. Yes, the DLC contains new enemies and weapons but they aren't special at all.

    PokéPark 2 suffers from clunky controls and a lack of challenge. Only the young Pokémon fans will overlook that for an overall happy and cuddly game.

    This five hour lasting adventure is fun to go through and never becomes boring. But Super Soldier has its share of flaws. The scripted levels and the disappointing graphics prevent you from having too much fun with this game.

    The Sims 4 is a very enjoyable game which will give you a lot of tools to be creative in creating your own Sims and their lives. The game gives exactly the same experience as the PC version, though the controls are terrible. You'll hate your controller for it.

    Stronghold Crusader 2 delivers exciting RTS battles and is a fun castle-building simulation, which challenges the player every single match. Despite this, the game is disappointing in many other areas, and because of that we yearned numerous times for its predecessor.

    Flockers doesn't do much that we haven't seen before in Lemmings. It's still a decent game though, but it lacks variation and certain levels will bring you a lot of frustration.

    This edition is supposed to be a fresh new start to the longrunning series, but stumbles at the get-go. Longrunning features like the Dancefloor are missing as are most of the songs of the new Just Dance+, which only contains about 25% of the old Unlimited. The core mechanics of the dances is still there as are a some 40+ new songs to dance to, as well as a new menu that needs some getting used to but ultimately makes life easier. A not-so-fresh start then, but it might be a good set-up for the future.

    Toki looks better than ever and plays great if you don't get stuck at a bad respawn point. When you die a bunch you need to start the game all over again and you can't save either. It's a shame because saving would make this retro game so much better.

    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.

    BOOR is a good indie game, still it is not more than simply enjoyable. The levels have some insufficient diversity, and the game is in need of some finishing touches.

    Destiny 2's Black Armory DLC finally adds matchmaking, but its repetitive missions and bland gear show that it has little else to offer.

    The game looks nice and it has a energetic soundtrack. Unfortunately Crashed Ice Kinect offers only five courses and no online game modes, which makes the game only fun for a little while.

    One of the biggest problems LEGO Batman 2 has on the console, becomes a bigger problem on Vita. There are too little levels to play and there isn't an open world like on the consoles. Its a shame that a game with so many possibilities turns out to be so small and simple.

    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.

    Inversion is a decent shooter with some fun gravity-gameplay. Unfortunately it is never memorable and offers no innovation or surprise, offering a mediocre overall experience.

    This is a port but does not feel like one. Still it suffers from the same problems as the original version on 3DS. Next to that the story feels short and it offers not much else. It is a fun game, but it could have been much, much better.

    Whispering Willows is suffering from the curse of mediocrity. It feels as if this game could have been more, but unfortunately never reached the heights to become a classic.

    It's difficult to review Kinect Star Wars. First of all, it finally gives you that awesome moment you've been waiting for: controlling and using the force. And believe us, it's really awesome. But then that awkward moment comes when you realize the gameplay is not actually quite that good.

    Blade Kitten turns out to be an amusing game but it doesn't manage to leave a strong impression. You might enjoy the first play through but after that the game will just lie there, collecting dust.

    Thanks to some great puzzles and the mix of LEGO and DUPLO you would think that everything is awesome. Unfortunately it is not due to the lack of dynamic splitscreen, typical bugs and some dull worlds. It's more like everything is just okay.

    SkyFighter is a fun game to play but doesn't stay fresh for a long time. However, with all the possibilities you should be able to enjoy the gameplay for a solid seven hours. The multiplayer is very chaotic and you won't recognize your airplane between all the bullets and planes.

    As Activision’s popular franchise keeps sinking away in quicksand, Black Ops 7 presents a new low for the shooter. The campaign is absolutely horrendous, as is the new mode Endgame. Aside from removing skill-based matchmaking, multiplayer offers nothing new or exciting. At the very least, Zombies is still good for countless hours of fun, but it really acts as a crutch for Treyarch in Black Ops 7.

    Creating rollercoasters is fun and easy, but the game lacks depth and diversity. The lack of a themepark to place your creations in is a missed chance, especially because the Demolition mode is quite disappointing.

    Lionhead Studios usually develops great extra content but this time the company has taken the easy way out. The Understone Quest Pack doesn't add a lot to Fable III but it will keep the fans entertained for a few hours.

    The worst part about Uprising is the lack of balancing. The weapons you'll get and the difficulty don't add up, making it extremely difficult to finish the game. For those that like a challenge, Hard Corps: Uprising just might be the thing they're looking for.
