    Pac-Man is a classic game in everyone’s opinion. Therefore, it's really nice to play some old Pac-Man games. Although the price is quit expensive for what you get. Four or maybe five Pac-man games are really worth it, the rest is simply too outdated.

    The second episode of Burial At Sea brings a fitting end to the BioShock Infinite storyline while introducing some new gameplay elements. Sneaking around as Elizabeth gives Rapture a new creepy atmosphere and it fits the character very well. We couldn't have asked more for our (probably) last trip to Rapture.

    The game offers a lot of puzzle pleasure and gives you a real challenge collecting all the Pokémon. Despite of a few minor disappointments, like the lack of character voices, the game is absolutely worth the price.

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls brings the new, refreshing content the fans have been waiting for. With the new storyline, the Crusader and the Adventure Mode, you can spend hours bashing monsters again. Sadly, in some ways the expansion looks more like a big patch which makes Reaper of Souls look a bit too expensive.

    This isn't the best LEGO game to get. It really focuses on kids and therefore it's too simple for us adults.

    Definitely worth a playthrough if you are into great stories. Gameplay is fun, but you will spend a little too much time in court in one go. Overall a really charming game.

    The remasters of both Final Fantasy X and X-2 are the perfect tributes to the fact that the older Final Fantasy games still provide breathtaking journeys which every RPG fan owes himself to experience at least once in his lifetime.

    In the end, Post Master just isn't a very good game. It offers no challenge, no amazing tech-tree, has dated graphics and animations and a repetitive boring sound. Since there is nothing to keep you interested in the game for long periods of time, only a handful of people will actually become a Post Master.

    With the second episode of Season 2 of The Walking Dead, TellTale delivers it's best episode yet. Everything you want from this kind of story driven game is here: difficult choices that really matter, a high pace and no glitches or technical difficulties. You are probably already invested in the story, but if you still need to begin with this great series, this is the time to do so.

    Dark Souls II is a sequel done right in every way. There is more to explore, mechanics from the first game are polished and further expanded. Fans will be happy to know that the game is still challenging and at the same time it is more accessible for newcomers.

    Yoshi is an awesome character and he will always remain that. However, New Island is more suitable for kids then adults. The levels are nice, but too easy, which is a pity.

    It's quite remarkable that a monster hit such as World of Tanks has managed to adapt so easily from the PC to the Xbox 360 ecosystem. It's like Wargaming's tank game should have been a console game in the first place.

    This part closes the Lords of Shadow saga pretty nicely. The gameplay and graphics are about the same as the original. Despite the modern setting the game pulls you into the story quite quickly.

    Yes, this video game contains a lot of boobs, but it is definitely more than that. It is a very nice fighting game, however a little repetitive. Nevertheless the nice animation style and fun characters will make you want to play it all the way through the end.

    Strider is back and he is wearing an interesting shawl. Thankfully there is more to this game. It is not just a beat 'em up, but it also gives the gamer the chance to variate smooth quickness with puzzle elements to make progress in the game.

    There's no denying that Blackguards has tons and tons of content that can keep you busy for days. Just don't expect a game that will blow you away, because it's mediocre at best.

    The announcement of Garden Warfare was an odd one, but in the end it turns out to be a brilliant decision. Garden Warfare is colourful, funny, challenging, cheap and within a few months new content will make up for the lack of game-modes.

    Octodad: Dadliest Catch has a brilliant concept, a hilarious story and the same goes for the gameplay. The shortness of the story mode is a letdown, but not because it doesn't justify the price tag. Whether it's a sequel or a feature film by Pixar, Octodad is an unforgettable character that deserves more time in the limelight.

    The Stick of Truth is something that every fan of the TV show will enjoy. It's funny, it's gross, it's addictive, it's everything that we could have hoped for in a South Park game. Too bad the European version is censored at certain parts of the game.

    Thief is a decent game, however not as brilliant as expected. The game had some strange issues during the gameplay, although the atmosphere is still great. Nevertheless the game itself is not super, yet still decent enough with well thought out characters.

    It is a bit disappointing to learn that the story is quite weak in this Final Fantasy game. If you compare it to other Final Fantasy titles you would expect a more thought out storyline. On the other hand, the new battle system is very good, but it cannot compensate for the lack of a good plot.

    Truth be told, no one really asked for a PC-version of Velocity Ultra, since it offers a typical handheld experience. Even the game seems to acknowledge this, because it automatically directs you to controller buttons. And yet, when you manage to 'click' with Velocity Ultra, it's quite hard to put it down.

    The PlayStation 4 edition of Rayman Legends is simply marvelous. The current-gen version was already a fantastic game and the next-gen is even better. More options, faster en more beautiful. Everything you might have wanted in the current-gen version is now available on next-gen.

    A game that is not as innovative as you would hope. It is very old school. Nevertheless, this is a real horror-game and we can guarantee that you will freak out. It may be old school, but it is still a very good game that will blow you away.

    Halo: Spartan Assault brings the Halo universe once again back on the Xbox 360, but in a different way as you are used to see the franchise. This top-down shooter is an enjoyable journey through the world of the Spartans. However, it is a very short adventure. Too short in our opinion.

    Onslaught is a solid but recognizable DLC, that feels awkwardly familiar. Although three of the four new maps are new, all feel like you played on them before. Nightfall on the other hand is a pleasant surprise and adds new content to the Extinction mode.

    The PlayStation 3 version of Minecraft is as good as earlier releases on other platforms. Everything is included in the package and the game is still a lot of fun to play, in single-player mode or with your friends with splitscreen. A true builder has to pick this game up.

    There is really not that much to complain about. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a solid platformer with all the charms of a Nintendo franchise.
