    This stealth vampire game is meant to be real good, but instead it sucks.

    This Sims expansion offers a lot of content: relaxing, resort managing, a new world and so on. A nice opportunity to pamper your Sims.

    Dare to Fly is a game which feels like an animation movie, with much needed subtle humor and some great elements. But the very long loading screens, little mistakes and slightly disappointing Move controls make it an okay game.

    Nothing stands out in a positive way in Urban Trial Freestyle. It is a cheap clone of the much better Trials games and not worth your time and money.

    Vengeance has become a really zombie centered DLC. With four new multiplayer maps, of which only two of them are really worth it, and an awesome new zombies map called Buried, you can have hours of fun shooting. The Ray Gun Mark II is the cherry on the pie, and summed up Vengeance is worth every penny.

    Just like it's predecessor Dillon's Rolling Western is a fun game with a very nice atmosphere. But, just like it's predecessor it also is a game with lots of repetitive gameplay, which makes it a little bit less good than the first Rolling Western Dillon was in.

    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.
