    The co-driver and the learning curve in WRC 4 are pretty decent, and the addition of real drivers and teams is something that will appeal to the real fan. But it isn't enough to be satisfied with the game. WRC 4 suffers from uninspiring modes, weird choices, strange handling and a damage- and physics model that just isn't right. It’s a shame that this game - once again - doesn't realize his potential.

    A great puzzle game, Magrunner challenges you step for step. The difficulty gradually gets more difficult and it takes a while before you see the end screen. With some rooms being without any addition, it feels a bit empty sometimes.

    Dual Destinies is the fifth game in the Phoenix Wright franchise and is a great addition. With a new playable character and her own techniques the game refreshes itself. It gets rather complicated sometimes, which can be quite annoying.

    Patience is a virtue with Wii Party U. The game is a lot fun, especially with your friends or family on the couch. However, some games simply depend on luck, which aren’t quite fair. If you’ll be playing solo you’ll encounter some rather slow computer, which you can’t even skip. It takes the speed out of a good game.

    With the first story add-on for Bioshock Infinite we find ourselves back in Rapture and we absolutely loved it. Some parts are even scarier than Infinite, with the Splicers as the point of attention. However, with only two hours, it’s too short for a magnificent add-on.

    Fishing with dragons flying over your screen: an interesting concept, but unfortunately not well developed. It’s a cheap game and quite funny sometimes, but after an hour you’ll be bored and do something else.

    Enemy Within is a perfect Firaxis expansion. It still has that great tactical atmosphere from Enemy Unknown, with some fresh new additions. There are a few cons – visual imperfections- but fans of the first hour will have hours of fun with this title.

    The addition of an online multiplayer is what makes this game interesting. Other than that there is no real improvement to the original.

    It is a bit disappointing not being able to choose which year you time travel to or see your own little town in the future, but apart from that The Sims 3: Into the Future is a very fun expansion to this lovely videogame. Especially the plumbots and the dream pod are nice features.

    Batman: Arkham Origins is definitely flawed, but most of all it is an awesome game. It just does not bring anything new to the table.

    The gameplay of Journey of a Roach is a bit on the short side, but that's to be expected of an indie title like this one. Sure, you'll finish the game in a few hours. Five, maybe six. But in that short period of time you'll have a blast. And that's why we think Koboldgames and Daedelic deserve a round of applause. We have a saying in Holland: 'klein maar fijn', and that's an accurate description of Journey of a Roach. It's relatively small, but great nonetheless!

    This one beats, without a doubt, Disney Infinity and this one is even better than the previous two Skylander games. There's a new a idea of combining body parts. So you can mix characters and it's awesome.

    Goodbye Deponia turned out to be the weakest entry in the series. The story feels a bit messy and the ending isn't really that satisfying. The puzzles are challenging though and it's still one of the most humourus games out there.

    Space Rangers is something that you either love or hate. Overall it feels a bit outdated so you'd have to be a real fan if you want to look beyond the old graphics and music.

    The Inner World turned out to be a very charming game with an interesting setting. If you're drawn to cartonesk looking games and are really into the point-and-click kind of puzzles, than you will certainly have a blast with this one. However, it's still missing some important elements so don't expect it to rock your world.

    Disappointingly, there are too few great platformers we may still talk about in five years. Ethan: Meteor Hunter is no such title in that regard. There are simply no features to be found that really make the game stand out in a good way. Aside of that, the high level of repetition makes Ethan's adventure become boring really fast. It's like the little mouse is looking for his place in this world, but will likely never succeed on doing so.

    Ghosts is good and bad at the same time, it still feels as Call of Duty and is therefore a good first-person shooter. But the game also lacks real innovations and is playing too safe.

    How surprising, another indie game with a retro feel to it. Even though Armed Seven works fine, there is nothing fresh and new to experience while playing this 2D shooter. Too bad, cause through the pixels you can feel the love that the developer put into it.

    If you expect nothing too much, Enter the Dominatrix will be worth your while. It may be short and easy but the jokes are great and the missions are absurd in a good way.

    This one ends a trilogy in a good way. It's the best puzzle game you can get on the 3DS and worth it.

    Knock-Knock is a game you want to love because it has a nice, freaky style. Unfortunately, the game itself feels like repetitive work which makes it very unattractive. For a horror videogame, we do not think Knock-Knock is scary enough. Too bad, because we would have enjoyed figuring out what that weird key character is up to.

    Really, it's amazing again. Football Manager 2013 was already nearly perfect, but this one seems to be perfect and more realistic. Although there's the fear of getting too realistic; making the game less fun. That's a warming for next year, because this year it's luckily still alright.

    The concept of B.A.S.E. Jumping is great, but not ready in its current state. The game lacks to give you a real adrenaline boost, while B.A.S.E. Jumping will. Skydive: Proximity Flight will also come to Oculus Rift which will obviously give you a more authentic experience.

    A not-so-popular sports game here in Europe with lots of potential. Even though there are some minor flaws when playing this game, this game is absolutely amazing. With lots of game modes, lots of possibilities and everything you can think of that should be in a wrestling game, this game is a game worth trying.

    Orcs are so much fun and it even gets better when you can play as an orc. The problem is that Orc Attack isn't a good game. The camera position is annoying and the gameplay is boring. Therefore Orc Attack is just one big mistake.

    People that live next to an airport know the horrible sounds that come out of a plane. Well, those sounds are pretty 'realistic' in the Planes Video Game on 3DS, which is absolutely not a positive thing. The game does look very good and there is lots of content and things to collect. It might be a bit easy, but it is a pretty neat game for little young Planes-fans.

    All Disney fans should play this game.Its cute, it's lovely and so much fun. Although it's a shame you can only play coop if you buy another character in the store.

    Rise of Venice is an addictive game, despite a few flaws. The sea battles are boring, while the tutorials is not covering all important aspects. However, when you discovered all options and possibilities the game gains its momentum.

    We still think NBA 2K is the best sports franchise around. That being said, Lebron’s Path to Greatness never really impresses. It just didn’t captivate us as much as for instance the MJ game mode of 2011. NBA 2K14 is a great game, sure. But one without a unique selling point. It’s a dunk, just not a slam dunk.

    Sonic is back. This game is absolutely amazing on the Wii U and it keeps you busy for hours.
