    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is a big improvement to its predecessor and so far one of the most beautiful 2D-fighters ever released. The somewhat boring dialogues doesn't change the fact that Ultimax is a challenging and exciting fighting game.

    Never Alone is a fantastic game which offers insight in the Alaskan culture and folklore. The game has a very nice style and enjoyable gameplay, however it is very short. Still this is a must buy for anyone.

    This War of Mine makes you realise the terrible nature of war better than a thousand ad-campaigns can. Trying to survive in this surreal world is hard, and asks sacrifices you are probably not willing to take. Very impressive.

    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.

    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.

    This game is a smaller version of his PC brethren, with smaller levels and shorter matches. However, the gameplay is great.

    Persona Q is a worthy introduction to the series on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is addictingly tough, and the music is unbelievably catchy.

    The first episode from Telltale in the Game of Thrones universe is a good one.

    Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a game for the ultimate co-op experience. With some minor problems, it's a next-gen version of the previous game with a lot of improvements.

    The Sherlock Holmes franchise is trying to reach more people, and maybe with this game it will. The game however lacks a real challenge now. The game is a real detective game, but doesn't really convince.

    Construction Simulator 2015 is a fun game for the fans. A beautiful open-world, realistic vehicles and many missions. Controls are unfortunately sometimes quite difficult and necessary bugs sometimes spoil the gameplay.

    The Crew is a successful open world race game with RPG elements. Its only downfalls are the simplistic storyline and the absurd micro-transactions.

    Hatsune Miku Project DIVA 2nd is a fun game if you like Hatsune Miku of the anime genre overall. If you are not familiar with Miku of not a anime fan, then the game doesn't really do anything other than recycle existing parts of rhythm games.

    Ardennes Assault brings us one of the best campaign-modes ever seen in a Company of Heroes-game. However, if you don't own one of the first two Company of Heroes-games, the only thing you can play are the new single-player missions.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a fun puzzle adventure for Wii U. Levels are creatively made and there are enough reasons to play them again. The puzzles are quite short and not that difficult, though.

    Call of Duty Heroes is a nice mobile strategy game and has its own unique twist. Sometimes it feels like something you've already played in an other game, but will do for Call of Duty-fans.

    The Hungry Horde is a fun game for a while, but never for very long. It has a very chaotic style to it. The gameplay is easy but still requires tactical skills. The minigames are funny and provide variation to the game.

    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.

    WWE 2K15 deserves a bodyslam. With two new exclusive game modes, you would expect a lot of this wrestling game, as WWE 2K14 was really good. Unfortunately, WWE 2K15 isn't that good, with a bad showcase mode and a not-working stamina system.

    Heroes of Might and Magic Online wasn't the best one in the franchise, and will probably be the worst. But still the game has a potential, and it's free, so it's worth a try and see if you like it yourself.

    More story than game. Not everybody will enjoy playing this Japanese rpg, but for those who has a long breath, it's story will be amazing.

    Warlords of Draenor brings you back to the roots of World of Warcraft. And it feels good. Draenor looks good and brings a cool new storyline, with lots of new content and of course garrisons. It's too bad the game isn't very challenging and didn't add a new race.

    The new Smash Brothers has a lot to live up to, but it manages to deliver on all fronts. Smash Tour is slightly disappointing, but everything else is top-notch. From the addictive gameplay to the pretty graphics and new modes; this is Nintendo's best Wii U game.

    The modifications to Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire make these games some of the best remakes in recent history.

    LittleBigPlanet 3 is a nice platform game for PS4 and PS3. If you say co-op you say LittleBigPlanet.

    Grand Theft Auto V on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is still a better game than most of the other games released on the new consoles so far. A must play for newcomers, and a great reason to return to Los Santos for veterans.

    Far Cry 4 is a logical successor to the third. Don't expect any ground-breaking, overwhelming visuals or a completely different story, but a shooter that does almost everything better than the competition.

    The best possible way to bring m=Minecraft to a handheld device. There are some technical limitations, but the possibility to play the game everywhere you want with solid controls makes this one of the best versions of Minecraft available today.

    Shovel Knight is the ultimate retro game. It takes all the good parts of old classics and improves on it with current technology. Truly a joy to play.
