    Fable Anniversary is a great way to experience the first Fable. Unfortunately, only the graphics are updated and therefore the game still feels like it is from another time period. Long load times between areas really take the speed out of the game and the menu-interface is old and outdated. Still, the humor and amazing world Lionhead created with the first Fable is just as funny as it was ten years ago.

    The game doesn't really show innovation, but still is a entertaining title. Especially due to the fact that you can play everything in 3D this time does a lot.

    Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is the worst game in the Dragon Ball Z franchise in a while. Too simplistic graphical style, no local multiplayer and transforming and charging your powers isn’t even mentioned. A disgrace to the great anime series.

    If you don’t want to do the same thing over and over, you hate a game over screen and need a tutorial to understand what you’re doing, Don’t Starve isn’t the game for you. It’s difficult, challenging and divers, which makes it a great experience.

    For the people of the nostalgic factor, Might & Magic X Legacy is a great game. It does, however, have no story whatsoever and feels quite outdated. Legacy is a game for a certain group of people.

    Nidhogg is the prove that you don’t need an advanced game engine to deliver a good game. The game is tactical duel between you and the opponent, but it delivers this is such a good way that it’s really enjoyable and fun to play.

    Archangel is a okay game for the mobile, but it’s too short, repetitive and will eventually be forgotten. A shame, because you can have a lot of fun with this RPG for two euro’s.

    Brave Soldiers is the example of how not to make a game. It’s too simple, the differences between the characters aren’t noticeable and the story is too complicated to understand. Even though it offers us a lot of content, it doesn’t impress us in any way.

    The Banner Saga is good game with his flaws. It’s horrendously difficult and its build for a certain group of gamers. If you love slow-paced RTS gaming with incredible consequences, The Banner Saga is the game for you.

    The Ios version of GTA: San Andreas is a good one, but it’s not something new we haven’t seen already. If you have the choice to pick between this version and a PC or console version, pick the latter.

    Doki-Doki Universe is a one of a kind game. Some people will love it for its creativity, others will not like that concept. The game is packed with humour, questions and more. It is, however, always the same, so you’ll be done with Doki-Doki Universe quite quickly.

    The first episode of the second season is the beginning of something beautiful. The emotional and impressive story is still there and Clementine is the perfect person to bring us through the emotional rollercoaster that is The Walking Dead.

    It's clear from the start that Liberation HD is a remake of a Vita-game. Some mechanics are really interesting tough, like the costume-system, but are on the other hand poorly implemented. At the end of the day it's an interesting, but lesser Assassin's Creed.

    This is not a smooth platformer like Mario, but it is one where you really have to puzzle your way through. The cut scenes are a bit annoying, the story as well, but the gameplay is really loveable. It is fun to create different natural things with your magic marker and even though not everybody is a fan of the controls, we found them an creative and challenging in a positive way.

    Even though the PC edition of this game was nice, EDGE obviously is a videogame you should play on a handheld or phone. We are very happy to welcome this Dutch video game on 3DS. It's futuristic and contains loads of fun puzzles.

    Now that the competition is out of the way (Harmonix did not make a new Dance Central yet) Ubisoft has the spotlight. The new Just Dance allows dancers to have an online competition on the World Dance Floor, which is lots of fun. Ubisoft did take out some of the nicer options for single player gamers though, which is a pity.

    OlliOlli is a very enjoyable skateboard game. It really shines a different light on the skateboarding genre, while at the same time it brings a lovely memory of the 80's. Beware, it's quite difficult, so not for everyone.

    Just leave this puzzle game alone, it's not nice to play. The Dr. Mario games from the past were so much fun and so much better. This one isn't worth its money.

    Tomb Raider is a really good game but that it's full priced is unacceptable. It's just the same version as previous year. The good thing is you're part of a big Hollywood movie. However Lara lacks any sense of humor.

    Helm's Deep is an expansion pack purely meant for the fans of the books. It contains less action sequences compared to Peter Jackson's movies, but the newly added Big Battles make up for it. On the other hand is Rohan finally showed in all it's glory, which is a sight to behold.

    Despite the lack of decent environments, Invizimals: The Alliance compensates with a great gameplay and fun, and is a lot better than the PlayStation 3 version.

    Even though the demo is pretty disappointing, the full Killer Instinct proves to be a really nice addiction to the fighting genre. Most of the characters come directly from the first Killer Instinct-game, but this time they look really gorgeous on the new Xbox One. The fighting system of Killer Instinct is a very layered one, which will keep you busy for loads of hours although a campaign mode is definitely missed.

    It is not often that a platform game is really different from another platform game. Eryi's Action is very different, because it is a platform game in which you will die all over again. There are traps everywhere, which makes this videogame very frustrating. Although it is a nice twist in this old genre, we are not quite sure it is much fun.

    What should've been a nice RPG, turned out to be a mediocre, monotonous game. The battles can be spectacular, but the lack of strategy makes it somewhat redundant. There couldn't be a better anime to base an RPG on, but the way the story is told is bland and can even be irritating at times.

    Proteus is a magnificent experience. Side note is that only a select group of people will enjoy playing this strange, interactive title.

    A game that makes you challenge your creativity, but still has many limits. Because of that Scribblenauts Unlimited gets quite boring after a while. Still, with all the possibilities it offers a lot for a Wii U game.

    Contrast could have been a great game, but it feels too rushed. The controls are stiff and the platform elements aren´t that challenging. And we aren´t even talking about the countless bugs we found in the game.

    The remake of Speedball 2 is a good one. It still offers a great and addicting gameplay, with magnificent graphics. Speedball 2 HD is, however, too easy to be really challenging, which makes it boring really fast.

    Even though Tank Domination is just a plain Ios game, it’s a fully worthy game, with an surprisingly addicting and tactical gameplay. The rounds are short, so it’s a perfect snack game.
