    It´s disappointing that The Sacred Tears TRUE doesn´t impress, as the love of the developers is clearly visible and the game has some interesting ideas. Especially the fighting system sounds promising in theory, but fails to deliver an exciting strategic experience.

    An awesome character and a big open world to play in, that's what you get in Sunset Overdrive. Lots of weapons, power-ups, mutants and a great way to travel, making it an unique experience for every player.

    Minecraft is finally available for the PlayStation 4 and it's still a great game. With a bigger world and more view-distance, Minecraft is a perfect game for both beginners and PS3-veterans, though the game doesn't offer anything new.

    Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is nice, especially for kids. It's cute, but one must say that Skylanders Trap Team is king.

    Zen Studios has adapted the series and put it inside two pinball machines. They are very entertaining but very chaotic at times. Especially the sounds are chaotic and annoy easily. Worth buying.

    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.

    The gorgeous design of this game cannot hide the fact that this actually is a very limited shooter that gets boring very easily. Too bad, because it is a game that is very easy to learn.

    Fighting in this game really feels great, as well as the interesting conversations and the possibility to succeed in multiple missions simultaneously. Sometimes the game is not clear enough and the balance between missions and difficulty is a bit iffy.

    F1 2014 offers a very strong AI and a great MyCareer-mode, plus marvelous visuals on the last-gen. Unfortunately it does not compare to next-gen games and the arcade racing seems a bit off for a F1-game.

    The world that Walt Disney shaped really comes to life in this cutesy 3DS-game. Though there is lots of content to play through, the framerate is bad and there is not enough challenge to make this game really worth while.

    This is a game with a very unique subject and fun contracts, but you do not really get to control the ship yourself and the choices you make have too little influence.

    The Evil Within offers the right horror atmosphere with strong gameplay and lots of challenges. That makes it extra unfortunate that the story is weak, the camera is annoying and there are lots of bugs.

    Even though it looks infinitely better on the PC, Ryse: Son of Rome still remains a dull tech demo that's repetitive and offers very little gameplay-wise. It's very pretty to look at, but extremely boring to play.

    This is the best Skylanders game. It's funny, it's sweet; it's just everything. Every gamer needs to buy and play this. But be careful, the gameplay is addictive.

    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.

    There will be a group of people that will love this game, but most people won't. You have to have so much patient, strategic insight and commitment, it is a tough game to really enjoy. There are so many RPG's that are way better, why waste your time on this one?

    NBA 2K15 might be the best sports game of the year. NBA Live is not a competitor for NBA 2K15, as 2K15 is way better thanks to the great gameplay, thorough MyGM-mode and the phenomenal A.I.

    The famous Borderlands formula is impressive in this new game in which the gravity on the moon makes shoot-outs very different. This is still a special Borderlands game with interesting gameplay that takes more than 30 hours.

    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.

    Gauntlet is a fun dungeon crawler to play with a friend or two. Too bad the game is not very long. It is not very deep as well, but for people that just want to hack away relentlessly, Gauntlet is a good buy.

    Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition offers the same solid game experience, but as the DLC's that are included are not brilliant, we wonder if the the astonishing graphics is worth the big price difference with the original one.

    Even though Bayonetta 2 is very much like the first one in the franchise, it is lovely to hack and slash around with the oversexualised Cereza. The animal transformations of the witch are awesome and it is a very solid game for hours of fun.

    Creative Assembly promised us horror and the old school Alien setting. Well, they delivered. The game looks and plays awesome and makes you feel scared sh.tless every minute of the way.

    DriveClub is one of the greatest racing games we've seen so far on the PlayStation 4. There is a lot of content in the game in both online and offline and the challenges add lots of additional gameplay. The multiplayer experience with your teammates is certainly original in its kind.

    Though a bit on the short side, Heavy Bullets offers fun and addictive gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. It also introduces a game mechanic that feels fresh and brings something new to the realm of shooters.

    Endless Legend turned out to be a much better turn-based strategy game than its predecessor. The maps are fantastically detailed, there's a lot of depth, and the different races are very diverse.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
