    In Episode 3 - In Harm's Way the story starts to pick up steam making us more psyched about the rest of the season by the minute. Clementine and her friends are still being hunted down by bloodthirsty monsters this episode. And then there are also the zombies, of course.

    Don't expect a revolution in the gameplay of Tropico 5, since it may feel like more of an expansion at times. However, it's a very impressive one at that. The new era system is absolutely wonderful and the management system is more complex than ever. This, and the inclusion of a new multiplayer mode should be more than enough to pull all of you dictators back to the wonderful island of Tropico.

    Bound by Flame isn't the best RPG that the industry has to offer. But underneath the rough edges there's still a surprisingly enjoyable game.

    Dead Nation will bring you a big load of zombies to shoot down. It's fun to look for loot in cars and the world really looks rough and dark, like the world is supposed to be after an event like this. It is not easy to take this videogame outside, because of the darkness, plus it is a straight PS3-port, so no extra's of the PS4-port.

    Wolfenstein: The New Order is a decent first-person shooter. The graphics are a bit outdated but the atmosphere is really nice. And besides, what's more fun than killing Nazis?

    Part two of the Van Helsing game is a great sequel in every aspect. There are more options for you to choose from and the expansion of the skill tree is another plus. All of this comes with a relatively low price.

    Oh, sweet memories. NES Remix 2 knows, just like the first, to make gamers dream about those days when they we're little, playing Mario et cetera. NES Remix 2 has a bit too much of that Mario, we would have rather seen some more other classics, but other than that it is a great game to play (off-TV). It is very addictive to make sure to complete all mini-games with three stars, and in some cases very difficult just like NES games are supposed to be.

    Warlock II: The Exiled mixes several elements like magic, combat and city building is an interesting way. It makes the game complex and deep and should be at least tried by fans of the genre.

    The Last Tinker is a joyous platformer inspired by classics such as Jak and Daxter and Banjo Kazooie. The game is very colourful and it sometimes feels kind of childish, because of the easy levels with no challenge at all.

    From Software has clearly learned from its earlier mistakes by creating an absolutely wonderful PC version this time around. Shame about the monstrous keyboard and mouse controls, but nothing a controller won't fix. Aside of that, the core gameplay really shines, because of the many subtle improvements the PC version enjoys. The biggest achievement, however, is that one of the greatest games of 2014 has managed to become even greater.

    By adding just a third-person perspective, SMITE entirely changes the way we play MOBA. As a player you're feeling more in control over your character, which results in a more intense and better multiplayer experience.

    Unfortunately this videogame has at least one deal breaking bug, plus (again!) no trophies for Player 2. Other than that, LEGO The Hobbit is just as loveable as LEGO LotR. Lots of recognizable scenes from the movie with new ways to collect LEGO-bricks and things. Plus, Saruman tells the storyline for people that are not familiar with the story of the Hobbit. Lovely for old and young players.

    Behind the amazing art style of Leo's Fortune, there is a surprisingly fun hidden platformer that controls amazingly well on a touch device. The game never gets really hard, but gives you enough challenge to keep you hooked for hours.

    This army-themed game runs very smoothly. It is easy to quickly start and end a game, although the controls are something to get used to. It is advisable to give this game a chance, because there is more to it than the funny animation style and sepia colors. For example, a very pleasant system for leveling up, which is typically Vlambeer.

    Age of Wonders III turned out to be a very accessible game that is filled with tons of content. Its beautiful fantasy world will keep you busy for hours.

    The little pink dude does it again. A whole new game with a story mode and two other modes on the side to enjoy. Everything look and feels wonderful. This is a must have on the 3DS.

    The new features that the Director's Cut brings to Strike Suit Zero, make the game a bit more enjoyable. Unfortunately the game is still haunted by repetitive missions and a weak story.

    It's the next indie-game with an 80's feel, which is a pity. But, that being said, Towerfall Ascension is a very addictive videogame with a good sense of complexity within. It is the ideal game to play with friends on the couch.

    This world is so special, the game itself is so brilliant, fabulous, and dreamy. It is, no doubt, a must have for gamers.

    Rajas of India continues where Crusader Kings II left off. The three new religions are fun to play with, as they all are unique compared to, for example, Christianity and Islam and require a different approach and playstyle. Although it feels like most of the other new features are re-used content with a different skin, Rajas of India is a decent DLC, and certainly worth a try.

    You might not expect it but Mario Golf is an extremely fun game to play. It is filled with lots of content and Mario manages to present Golf as an entertaining sport.

    They newest edition of FIFA is certainly a nice soccer game to play. However, it is not really necessary if you already bought FIFA 14. Nevertheless, FIFA World Cup Brazil is on its best: smooth gameplay and plenty of content to entertain you.

    Content-wise it's exactly the same game as it was on the PC and PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 4 version has some cool improvements though. Improved controls, stunning graphics and a very smooth running gameplay makes it a worthy PS4-title. This is simply a fantastic PS4-port of an amazing MMORPG.

    Platformines surprises. The quick gameplay is fun, the enemies in their particular parts of the map are challenging and the open world gives you the freedom to take whatever way you want to go. Platformines is far from a perfect game, but it deserves a chance as it delivers more then you might expect.

    Trials Fusion is a worthy successor to Trials HD and Trials Evolution. It sticks to the same formula of those games and adds amazing new minigames and fantastic new skills to it. It doesn't quite live up to the full next-gen potential, but it is still a very fun game, where you can put lots of hours trying and failing.

    In comparison with the current-gen of consoles, Battlefield 4 is the shooter for the next-gen consoles. The graphics are even more stunning than before and there’s an ability to play with more gamers on the console. Choose the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One-version above the current-gen versions.

    Tappingo offers nothing to challenge the player. You will be doing the same thing over and over again without any variety. If you have some hours to kill you could spend your free moments with Tappingo but there are better alternatives available for the 3DS.

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a suprisingly fresh take on the MMORPG-genre, but when you are searching for a cooperative version of Skyrim, you came to the wrong place. If you are searching for a new MMO, however, you should really consider trying this one out. The level system removes the grinding and the first person perspective gives you a fresh take on the genre.

    You can go through these forty levels very fast, because they'll only take 10 seconds to finish. You must improve your play, because you need to score stars to continue. The gameplay is pretty simple, the storyline is too much, but it is actually an addictive little game waiting for you.

    Even if you have all platforms available, the PlayStation 4 version of Steamworld Dig is a recommendation. The steampunk western world comes more to life with those colorful graphics in combination with a decent TV. The gameplay is still as fun and relaxing as they were when this game was first released.
