    Unfortunately, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi looks and plays more like a spectacular movie, than a fun game. The characters operate far too repetitive and technically there are just too much irritations, like constant loading times. Moreover the Boss Battles and the Chasing Battles are disappointing and the Hero-modus has in fact no reason to be.

    The great combination of real-time history, action, fantasy and strategy form a fast playing game with chaotic battles, which sometimes lack persuasion by cut scenes.

    Toy Stunt Bike is an entertaining and challenging game, but it has its flaws. Graphically the game is good, but there could have more detail.

    In an era where superheroes are extremely popular, it is very smart to make a videogame and put large parts of the Marvel Universe in it. This is done pretty okay in the free-to-play action-RPG Marvel Heroes. It's not as deep and big as other online RPG's, which makes it attractive to the mainstream crowd.

    The franchise has been murdered by Team Ninja itself. Every little thing that made the previous games so great has disappeared in Ninja Gaiden 3.

    1, 2, Switch is a party game with a total of 28 different mini games. The game controls are so simple that literally everyone can pick it up and play.

    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.

    A-Men 2 is mind-boggling difficult puzzle game, which will challenge the player over and over. Every move has its consequences and that makes this title quite challenging. However, it relies too much on trial and error, so gamers who’re not into that, will not find this game much fun.

    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.

    Raving Rabbids Alive & Kicking is truly the best party game you can get for Kinect. With forty different mini-games, you will keep on playing with your friends. Unfortunately there are some crappy games, but the fun ones have the majority.

    The worst game from the studio so far. A puzzle game without many puzzles is just plain wrong. Also the cut-scenes are so bad you want to skip them as soon as you can.

    Stereo Aereo is a fun rhythm-based game, at least most of the time. The visual presentation is appealing, but often hinders you in keeping the focus on your own ship due to all the effects in place. Also the amount of content in the game is rather slim.

    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 the PlayStation Store for a cheaper price. The game should have taken an example to Street Fighter IV, but unfortunately it doesn't.

    Sometimes this game gives a little bit too much info, that makes your brain totally shut down. On the other hand, Nintendo offers very clear information on the big variety in mini-games. They are all very much making use of the features of 3DS. It is too bad you have to wait for the CPU characters a lot because you just want to play those mini-games.

    This game is boring and way too expensive. Kirby is cute but this game is nothing more than a couple of mini games.

    Datura is a game, but most of all an experience. Like a boy scout you walk around in a very peaceful forest which is relaxing. But as you walk along you'll discover that this forest might not be as peaceful as you thought. It does depend on your choices how the game will end, but unfortunately Datura is not very clear about that, so it seems to be a very short game, while there actually are more than ten endings to it.

    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.

    Sonic Forces is neither the best nor the worst game starring the blue hedgehog. It's mediocre at best with spectacular action, but blunt characters.

    It is weird and refreshing, it offers a lot of things to collect and a lot of possibilities in adjusting your characters. The fighting system is not very good, and Akiba's Trip is a long one as you get a load screen every five seconds.

    Behind the boring and average title, there is actually a surprisingly deep shooter. The new way of voting on a map and the different ways the game encourages you to work together with your team are refreshing and smart. There is a lot to unlock, but Special Forces: Team X is bad at showing what you just unlocked, which makes it hard to find new gear.

    Faery: Legends of Avalon isn't exactly a fairytale. The fact that you can make your own fairy is one of the few hightlights of this game. The campaign is simply too short and the audio and video are very mediocre.

    Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris is a huge disappointment. Its campaign is short and too easy and the story is lacking depth. Therefore this expansion is way too expensive.

    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.

    Uno
    Uno does not reinvent the game, but it does bring the cardgame to the newest console in a fine way. Uno is, even after all those years, a blast to play, but the inevitable stream of DLC and lack of diversity keep this game from being a great new entry.

    Shrek Forever After has become an amusing game after all. The game is too short and won't leave much of an impact, causing you to forget about it almost instantly.

    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.

    We don't see to many space shooters anymore these days. Unfortunately, SOL: Exodus is a bit of a disappointment. The AI isn't great and there aren't many challenging moments. It's a cheap little game though that will keep you entertained for a little while.

    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!

    One Punch Man has made a successful transition to the gaming-world. The satirical approach to superhero Manga is conserved, while many of the recognizable heroes and villains make an appearance. Fights are diverse and mostly work pretty well. Recovery from getting hit doesn't always work well. The invincible Saitama has been incorporated into the gameplay in a unique way, that work really well. The mandatory side quests to progress the story can become a drag.

    Gear Club Unlimited 2 is a game that tries to be a simulator and an arcade racer in one. It offers a lot of cars and tracks, but has a very slow start and a faulty set of controls. Next to that the games loading times are far too long. It just frustrates.
