    Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast
    Some people don’t like realistic football and for those persons there is the Inazuma Eleven franchise. You can play football with amazing powers and the controls are smooth and liable. The game world isn’t that good and it’s not a technical improvement when you compare it to the earlier games. You will have fun with Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast though.

    TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition
    If you just want to race without too much difficulty, TNT Racers: Nitro Machines Edition is the game for you. Rounds will only last a few minutes, so you want to keep replaying this game. But it’s too repetitive too be really good and it doesn’t add something special to the land of the race games.

    Shadow Warrior
    Without any doubt, Shadow Warrior, is a great reimagining of the old classic. The game is brutal in many ways, with one-liners reminding us of Duke Nukem. It’s a bit repetitive and some variation wouldn’t kill the mood. Overall it is a good game with a lot of blood and a great fighting system. In the words of Wang: it’s wangtastic!

    NHL 14
    Ice hockey is a sport for Americans, and Canadians, but EA still delivers a great game with NHL, even for Europeans. The AI isn’t that good, as your teammates sometimes don’t understand what they should be doing. Still, NHL 14 is sensational and good as snack between all the other great games.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX
    This will be the most complete Kingdom Hearts game ever. And it’s in HD! Finally we can go back and fight with Sora, Donald and Goofy. The disappointing aspect of the package is the lack of Kingdom Hearts II, while 358/2 Days feels a bit strange.

    rain
    The only thing we don’t like about Rain is its playtime: it’s too short, we want to enjoy more of this game. A stunning display of story, with a magnificent soundtrack and we haven’t even talked about the gameplay yet. Puzzling in the rain has never been this beautiful and good.

    Payday 2
    PAYDAY 2 is a game with a lot of potential and good ideas, but the final version of the game has a few defects. Sometimes the AI will be doing things which are quite strange. Luckily, PAYDAY 2 is saved by its mods, unlocks and co-op mode.

    Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning
    Another great game in the Harvest Moon series, but it’s a bit difficult for newcomers. Still, people who know the formula will pick it up easily and enjoy it instantly. The only aspect that may annoy you is the tutorial, which is way too long and too boring.

    Unholy Heights
    With Satan as your landlord, Unholy Heights has a refreshing concept. It’s really awesome to control the devil himself and to rule a complex full with nutjobs. Strange fact is that some renters may leave spontaneously, which is kind of a let-down for this game. But before you know it, you will have spent hours trying to please your renters.

    Arma 3
    Arma III is a disgrace for the gaming world. It feels like it’s rushed to the market and still in the alpha phase of developing. Bohemia Interactive will have to release a buck load of patches to make this game work properly. This is unfortunate as they could have spent that time trying to deliver a good game.

    Pokemon Y
    From the first moment you boot up this game you will know you are playing the future of Pokémon.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2014
    The best footie is FIFA 14. PES 2014 is better than last year's version but still has a lot of problems, like framerate issues and the game is constantly loading.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
    The Wind Waker HD might even be better than the original version. This remake is a must have for anyone with a Wii U, no matter if you already played the original or not.

    FIFA 14
    FIFA 14 is unmistakably the best footie for the current-gen consoles to date. It feels both realistic and authentic and pays homage to The Beautiful Game we have grown to love. It’s just too bad the graphics of the game can’t keep up with the gameplay anymore; but our educated guess is that next-gen will change that entirely.

    Guardians of Middle-Earth
    With free-to-play games as League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients 2 on the PC, purchasing Guardians of Middle-Earth is a bad idea. The title is sloppy work.

    Foul Play
    Foul Play is absolutely charming and a good co-op game. However the length is too short and the game itself is too easy.

    Grand Theft Auto V
    Grand Theft Auto V is the magnum opus of the current generation. It has an amazing game world filled with loads of content and the feeling that you can do literally anything you want. Add three fantastic main characters to it, with their flaws and virtues and you have the recipe for this magnificent game. Nothing less than a masterpiece.

    Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition
    Mighty Switch Force was a great game on the 3DS, but it exceeds itself on the Wii U. The gameplay is excellent and the new style looks absolutely fantastic. The hyper stages are a great addition to the game.

    Crimson Shroud
    Crimson Shroud is one for the hardened RPG players. The fighting system is good and the story is quite interesting, but sometimes hard to grasp. Add a great fighting system to it and you have a RPG you can enjoy for a long time.

    Assassin's Creed III - The Infamy
    The Infamy gives us an interesting ‘what if’ concept. We see Washington as this crazy lunatic, instead of the American Patriot. Besides that, we can run more in the world of Assassin’s Creed III and killing the enemies still feels so good.

    Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
    Sly is back and we applaud that, kind of. The game is outdated, too simple and too childish. It’s a good deal that you can buy the PS3 and Vita version for the same price, so that offers twice the amount of fun.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - VR Missions
    This new DLC offers 30 new missions for a good price. People who are having trouble to control Raiden will have a hard time with the missions. It’s challenging, but its good and we want to keep trying.

    Puppeteer
    Yes, Puppeteer looks amazing. Yes, it's something different. But no, it's not that good as expected. Therefore the game is simply too simple.

    GRID 2
    To be honest, we didn’t quite expected GRID 2. It’s not as refreshing as the first part, but it still offers some spectacular races with amazing controls. Besides that, the multiplayer is of top class level and the audio will make your ears scream for more.

    Resident Evil: Revelations
    Revelations is an okay game, but too simple a port from the 3DS game. Game technical it’s one of the greatest horror games of the last years, but that says it all. It has the same defects as the 3DS version and it’s too expensive for that.

    Wonderbook: Diggs Nightcrawler
    Wonderbook is great ‘game’ for kids, but for adults it’s too short and too easy. Children will enjoy the unique atmosphere of the game, the great story and the humour.

    The Sims 3: Dragon Valley
    The dragons are good and fresh addition to The Sims. It is a shame that there are only three classes we can choose from, something you don’t want to pay this amount of money for. It offers too little for a DLC package.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown
    XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a great game for the iPad. Despite some restrictions, Enemy Unknown is a great addition for the iPad. It has the same level of tactical movements as its brothers for the consoles.

    Garfield's Wild Ride
    The world of Garfield’s Wild Ride is beautiful animated, but with a no trial and error principle it’s a difficult game, especially for children. You need to gain a lot of money to buy something, which also makes it quite hectic sometimes.
