    Wasteland 2 Director's Cut is in every way superior to the original version. It look's better and adds more content.

    A solid game with a beautiful artstyle, fine combat system and decent music...The many text-screens do more harm to the game than they add to it.

    Madden NFL 16 returns with a greater focus on receivers and quarterbacks, throw and catch the ball like you really want to throw it. The gameplay combined with the all new Draft Champions mode makes this the best football game over the last few years.

    Halo 5 Guardians is a great new installment in this massive series. The game mixes old and new elements resulting in an awesome gaming experience. However, the lack of couch co-op makes it less fun, and our iconic hero Master Chief seems to be a background character.

    Episode 5 is a home run for Telltale and the entire Tales from the Borderlands series. Witty, heart-wrenching and so damn well-written. The perfect final episode to a perfect series. Now we'll wait for season 2.

    Tales of Zestiria is a great game which looks fantastic and plays like a charm. It doesn't really challenge you though and had a few small other flaws. Still the story grips you and the game manages to entertain you for hours.

    The Talos Principle is an essential game that every video game lover needs to add to their collection. Intrusive puzzles, a mysterious story and some philosophical questions about consciousness and being a human.

    Finally we know the whole story about Max. It's difficult to make a decision in the end. But this is the best chapter.

    Assassin's Creed Syndicate puts the series back at the top. It features lots of revolutionary improvements in a great setting with amazing characters.

    The Legend of Zelda Tri Force Heroes takes an original concept and takes it everywhere you want it to go. There is plenty of fun for three players, but the experiences takes a hit when you go at it alone. Recommended for all 3DS owners.

    Guitar Hero Live puts the franchise back on the map. It's more realistic than ever with a new guitar and with a highly addicting Guitar Hero TV mode. It's too bad the rest of the band can't join in and that there's only 42 songs you can play offline.

    Maiden of Black Water is a good addition to the small lineup of horror games on the Wii U. The creepy, disturbing atmosphere and gamepad controls are great, but the outdated design and sometimes disappointing graphics don't make this a classic.

    Minecraft Story Mode Episode 1 is a very solid first episode. Although the gameplay may seem a bit easy at times, this first episode is truly enjoyable nonetheless and a must have for Minecraft fans.

    The new content in Rising Tide is something Beyond Earth desperately needed. Paired with a solid new diplomacy system and the concept of ´water cities´, Rising Tide is an expansion every Civilization Beyond Earth fan has to have.

    NBA Live 16 is a step in the right direction for the franchise. There are some good new additions and the atmosphere of the game is fantastic. However, the mediocre gameplay ensures no enjoyment for the gamer.

    Renowned Explorers International Society is a strategy game of big proportions. The expeditions are always full of surprises, and you are never certain that you will come out unscathed. The game truly delivers a thrilling and enjoyable experience.

    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.

    The Hearts of Stone DLC for the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is rock-solid. A completely new storyline, new side quests and new areas to explore all come together in this stunning first DLC for the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. A must have for all Witcher fans.

    The game plays well and guarantees many hours of fun. All in all, Dragon Quest Heroes is a more than successful PlayStation exclusive that most can appreciate.

    This game is so much fun. The starter pack includes real LEGO and the game itself brings a lot of innovations and renovations.

    Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume 1 fails just about everywhere. The soundtrack and artwork are okay, but it looks old and buggy and the gameplay just isn't good. Next to that you keep getting interrupted while you play the game.

    Penarium is a quick and fun platformer offering a nice sadistic thrill-ride, although it can be frustrating (sometimes in a good way). It's also a little too difficult, allowing no strategy, only fast jumping. Luckily this doesn't spoil all the fun.

    Blood Bowl 2 gives you hilarious, but brute action. There are enough races, but less than in the previous game. The game is especially fun in multiplayer and offers a complete experience with minor flaws. Definitely a touchdown.

    Despite the lack of polish, Endless Legend Shadows offers some great content which introduce new play styles and features that deepen the great gameplay of Endless Legend even more.

    Castle Crashers Remastered is even seven years at it's original release, still very fun to play. Unfortunately there aren't any significant improvements and changes, and that's quite a shame.

    The Nathan Drake Collection is the best HD remake from 2015. Anyone who has got a PS4 and likes adventure should run to their nearest game store and buy this game. It's definitely worth your money.

    Skylanders SuperChargers is a great game with lots of innovations and changes. Donkey Kong and Bowser both add a lot to the game, which is interesting for any Nintendo fan. This starterpack is definitely worth the money.

    Guns, Gore and Cannoli is a very amusing co-op sidescroller. The game mixes zombies, gangsters, the roaring twenties and co-op to bring a truly amusing experience. This game guarantees co-op fun.

    NBA 2K16 is the best basketball game you can get nowadays. With a story by Spike Lee, titled Livin' Da Dream, it is a great sports game. Unfortunately the story isn't as good as promised, but the gameplay is marvelous again.

    FIFA 16 combines some great new features with the wonderful feeling we know as FIFA. Introducing great innovations on the pitch make the gameplay 'almost' perfect.
