    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon does everything wrong, but not in a bad way. All of the clichés and bad lines actually make it a very funny experience. You can almost call it art.

    A solid new title in the Bit.Trip series. The game feels and plays like a Bit.Trip game, despite the new graphical style. In short: Bit..Trip Presents... Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is a great title if you have a lot of patience. If you don't have a lot of patience, it is better to skip this game.

    This game comes from the maker of Castle Crashers. It brings again a really funny game with cats in all levels. Battleblock Theater is so cool to play.

    This role playing game feels fresh and is exactly what the PS Vita needs at this moment. Soul Sacrifice doesn't give players a sword, but the whole game leans on using magic.

    This sequel feels like a huge expansion. The game doesn't really offer anything new apart from a few new zombies and weapons. It has a lot of bugs and suffers from frame drops when things get busy.

    Motocross Madness doesn't score many points on the audio-visual presentation. The game does, however, in the gameplay. And in that case it scores big. Many different game modes with maps that provide you with countless sidetracks and an expansive reward system, are only a few features Motocross Madness has to offer. This game will set you back ten bucks, and we promise you those bucks will be damn well spent.

    Defiance is an enjoyable game, which needs to be polished to really shine. The shooting-mechanism works great and shooting with and against other Ark Hunters is great fun. The game has some downsides but there aren't major errors. The connection with the series still has to prove it self and that is something only time will tell.

    LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins for the 3DS has its pros, but they all fade away compared to the recently released Wii U game. The Chase Begins offers a stripped down version of LEGO City resulting in a lesser game experience.

    Black Forest Games combines two beautiful worlds in one game. With an amazing concept and some challenging gameplay you would think it is ideal for platform lovers. The inaccurate controls and frustrating moment however get rid of that thought in no time.

    Toki Tori 2 is a fun and intuitive game, though the lack of direction may lead to frustration.

    The Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition is a must-have collection for every Duke Nukem lover. It contains the original game, a new episode and three (hard to get) expansion for just ten bucks. The gameplay is great, even after all these years. And since the rotten apple Duke Nukem Forever left a unpleasant taste, this is a gift out of heaven.

    ShootMania Storm is a shooter in every inch of the game. To get the best out of this game it is advisable to play with a group of friends, since the game is heavily focused on eSports and teamplay. ShootMania Storm lacks a few features like voice-chat and outdated graphics. Despite that, it is a great game for people that just want to play a fastpaced shooter.

    It's hard not to like the addictive gameplay of Trials. You'll keep failing and failing and yet you can't seem to stop playing. It's a shame that the PC had to wait so long to get a piece of this.

    If you were still waiting for a reason to buy a Wii U, this is it. LEGO City Undercover is an amazing game that fits perfectly on Nintendo's newest console.

    On the surface this game seems to have it all. Good graphics, a nice soundtrack and awesome gameplay. On the other hand the framerate is not constant and the game offers no deep storyline. Still it is a nice game to play in between of the big titles.

    With the beautiful graphics and large amount of content, Real Racing 3 could be one of the best games the smartphone has ever seen. However the microtransactions and long waiting times take away much of the fun.

    This is is obviously not the best co-op game to buy. However it must be said that the second part of the is much better and funnier then the first part. But still: the graphics are ugly and there are too many bugs and shortcomings to be a strong game.

    With End Game, DICE put an end to the Battlefield 3 chapter. Thankfully they ended with a bang. End Game offers yet four new great maps and the best vehicle Battefield 3 had so far: the dirtbike. Capture the Flag is also back, and together with Air Superiority you get some great new modes. With only minor issues, DICE can look back at a great series of DLC for a great game.

    Criterion Games proved last October that Need for Speed: Most Wanted had some quality race work. But things can always be better. The Wii U version provides all the fun from the original game but in a greater and more complete package.

    With Luigi's Mansion 2 Nintendo adds a brilliant game to the 3DS. Luigi got through the first part with the vacuum cleaner well and delivered a good second part.

    A very nice game which is not so original, but still offers a nice variation to Temple Run. It looks and feels familiar and doesn't contain a pay-to-win formula.

    This expansion is one of the best ever made for The Sims. It is not only interesting for the Sim fan, but also for the one who step out of the franchise.

    With BioShock Infinite, Irrational Games shows how to really tell a story in a video game. But not only is the story amazing, the combat is more fluid and dynamic than its predecessors, and Columbia is a place that begs to be explored. BioShock Infinite offers a journey that every gamer needs to experience.

    With Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army, Rebellion delivers a more-than-avarage shooter. The game lacks diversity, but thanks to the co-op it won't bother you too much. This and the great soundtrack make Rebellion's newest project a pleasant multiplayer game that fans of zombies should definitely buy.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 could have been a great sniper game. Learned from all mistakes made in the original game, one would think a sequel would make up for everything. Alas, that is not the case. The game fails to really stand out in many aspects, such as the story and characters. Let's hope a possible third entry will be an impressive point blank.

    This a decent RPG on the Wii U, but it's also a little bit outdated. The graphics are ugly and the controls doesn't work so perfectly.

    This a game you can play for hours. And if you have the Wii U version as well you can transfer your data. That's a nice option to use. But the title is also a little bit outdated. We've seen it all before three years ago.

    Fire Emblem: Awakening is not just the best strategy game at the moment, it is also the most challenging 3DS game yet. It takes some time to learn the ropes, but when you take some time to invest in the world of Fire Emblem: Awakening, you won't leave until you saved the land of Ylisse.

    More is better, and Blizzard knows what gamers want. More units, maps, features and options are the result of 2.5 years of work. Heart of the Swarm is a solid expansion to the original game and will provide you hours of fun.

    Maybe the game is not as epic as the last entry in the franchise, but People Can Fly didn't cut back on the quality. The new weapons, multiplayer modes and the new enemies in this game make this Gears of War a worthy addition to the franchise.
