    Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is a really fun game. It takes a lot from the previous game but innovates enough te entertain for at least forty hours.

    Despite the fact not everything is perfect about the game, MotoGP 13 turns out to be very realistic at some points. The fans will eat it up and new players will have a good challenge.

    You can see the effort that went into bringing this game to the modern standard. The dialogues are really well done and the graphics look nice, but sadly nothing has changed to make it more appealing for the modern day audience. It's just something that you had to grow up.

    400 Days is a good introduction to five all new characters. Telltale delivers the same amazing storytelling that makes you want to move to the edge of your seat. 400 Days is a short but immersive way to get gamers ready for The Walking Dead: Season 2.

    Sweden is not a country famous for it's nice beaches. Looking at Aqua Moto Racing 3D, it appears the Swedish developer has no idea what beaches look like. The graphics of this videogame are okay on mobile devices, but on 3DS this videogame simply looks horrible. The water that splashes up from the sea makes it nearly impossible to see and anticipate on the waves. A big pity, because the waves could be an only original thing that could have made this game feel different from other 'kart'-games.

    Firaxis and 2K Games are offering hunderds of hours of replay value with this latest expansion. Brave New World expands and delivers updates to the Civilization V formula. The more diplomatic approach is interesting and will leave you playing till deep into to night. For just thirty euro's this game your sitting on the first rank!

    Painkiller is a game that most people would likely hate. The shooting is very repetitive and boring, and you can survive while you have your eyes closed. The story is extremely boring too. The only thing that is good about Painkiller are it's diverse enemies and awesome weapons, but with that alone it can't survive on the enormous shooting market.

    The idea of running and jumping on your own music library sounds exciting, it is to bad Rush Bros doesn't deliver what it's promising. The levels lack inspiration and the music you play seems to have little effect on Rush Bros. Also the controls are to stiff for a game like this.

    Game & Wario feels like Nintendo Land Part 2. It demonstrates the unique ideas behind the GamePad in an entertaining way. This would have been a nice game to have during the launch of the Wii U. Now it is nothing new and only interesting for brand new Wii U players.

    At certain moments Strength of the Swords 3 show its interesting ideas. But at almost all of those moments the execution is lacking.

    The Vita version of Epic Mickey 2 is a good game. The absence of online multiplayer is a huge loss though.

    With a fun story and a great setting, Assault on Dragon Keep is Borderlands 2’s best DLC yet.

    Company of Heroes 2 is not revolutionary as its predecessor was. However, it takes the strengths of the first part with it, polish the game and adds some new elements. And with that said, Company of Heroes 2 is a great game.

    The Jetstream Sam DLC isn't the best content Platinum Games delivered so far. Playing with Jetstream feels good and offers a different playstyle that is really enjoyable. However, the environments and enemies are practically all copied from the main game. The upgrade system is also gone, which makes this DLC very weak on it's own.

    This may just be the biggest Animal Crossing game yet. New Leaf is just as cute and fun as it's previous parts. It just makes you want to work for your town.

    In an era where superheroes are extremely popular, it is very smart to make a videogame and put large parts of the Marvel Universe in it. This is done pretty okay in the free-to-play action-RPG Marvel Heroes. It's not as deep and big as other online RPG's, which makes it attractive to the mainstream crowd.

    The Night of the Rabbit is yet another great adventure game from the minds of Daedalic Entertainment. The dialogues are a bit childish but the puzzles and visuals are really good. Overall it's a very solid game.

    The latest installment in the Might & Magic Heroes franchise might not be the best game ever in the series, but the complete edition filled with extra content will guaranteed keep you busy for hours. Whether you're new to the game or veteran.

    God of War: Ascension does exactly what you would expect from a God of War title.The sheer amount of violence and tension is simply breathtaking, especially when taking place right on top of a giant creature. The entire experience is accompanied by stunning graphics and an impressive soundtrack. While the multiplayer is somewhat disappointing, it is apparent that Kratos is still this generation's most fearsome warrior.

    LEGO Batman 2 is on Wii U the same amazing game as on the other platforms. The Wii U version doesn't do anything that different, making this version a late port rather than a reason to pick this game up again.

    HarmoKnight is not attractive because of its repetitiveness. All with all it feels like a game on the wrong device.

    If you like to read your way through a game this is something for you. If you don't this could be an agonising adventure. It is a cute game to keep you busy till Pokémon X and Y come into view.

    Poker Night 2 offers some fun characters, extra’s and especially dialogues, but those start to repeat quickly and the lack of modes prevents you from coming back.

    Although the AR-card more often disrupt than enhance the game, the creative levels offer some fun.

    Alien Spidy tries to present the player with a platformer that's both fun and challenging. There is absolutely no balance to be found between those two elements, however. The result is an unforgiving title that hardly ever becomes even slightly addictive.

    This game mixes Role Playing Game elements with a puzzle game in a nice way. The difficulty increases nicely and overall the game plays well. The biggest flaw the game has is the graphics.

    Pressure has become a small but entertaining game, that brings you back to the good old years that you spent in the arcade halls. The gameplay is simple and fast-paced, and thanks to the steampunk graphics it's also enjoyable to watch. The levels are short, so you can take a break whenever you want. The game is a bit short in length overall, but still you can have a lot of fun in your big journey for water.

    Treyarch continues building on it's DLC-train with Uprising. With four new Multiplayer map and a solid new Zombies map you can, again, have hours of fun. With Mob of the Dead, the developer let's see that it still has got a lot of exciting and original ideas for the franchise. Once again, Treyarch shows that it's the king of DLC-making.

    There are a lot of things just not good enough in Sacred Citadel. The humor is terrible, and the enemies lack variety. But if you are planning a game night with some friends, there is still some fun to be had with this game. Plug some extra controllers in, switch your brain of and start mashing buttons.
