    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
    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.

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
    This a decent RPG on the Wii U, but it's also a little bit outdated.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.

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
    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 But the title is also a little bit outdated.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
    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.

    Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
    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.

    Gears of War: Judgment
    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.

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
    The game looks great and the gameplay is fantastic, but it never becomes too hard. The storyline that was so great in the original is not that clear in this game.

    Dollar Dash
    This is actually a funny game. Dollars, dollars... it's all about the fun and money!

    Candy Crush Saga
    Candy Crush Saga is as addictive as it is frustrating. The game starts off easy, but soon gets difficult and very challenging. The downside the game has is that you keep on getting Facebook messages from friends.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Revolution
    Treyarch has done a great job with Revolution. It's the biggest package of content ever before in Call of Duty history and the overall quality is remarkably high. The only bit of the DLC that isn't that exciting, would be Turned. The multiplayer maps are well designed and Die Rise is a brilliant new zombies map, filled with Easter Eggs. Fans of the Call of Duty series shouldn't hesitate and buy this DLC instantly.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    It's such a shame that the singleplayer takes just a few hours to complete. Because it's a fantastic game to play, probably the best hack and slash title in a science fiction setting. Raiden shows us how cool he is.

    Picross e2
    A solid puzzle game, Picross seriously lacks presentation.

    Serious Sam Double D XXL
    Serious Sam Double D XXL is perfectly suited as a fun 2D arcade game in which you have to kill countless crazy and over the top enemies. It's a Serious Sam game the fan will recognize in a heartbeat. The plot is almost non-existent, however, and there are some serious framerate drops in the coöperative mode. For a simple, explosive shoot 'em up, you will a lot of guilty pleasure in Double D XXL, though.

    Tomb Raider
    Tomb Raider tells a great story combined with enjoyable gameplay, though the latter slightly diminishes the impact of the former.

    NightSky
    What used to be an exclusive PC game, now is a great title for the Nintendo 3DS. NightSky delivers when it comes to dish up an array of levels that give you great puzzle experiences. It is an ideal game to play when you’re on your way to school or work!

    Alien Breed
    You pay only 8 euros for a good game refreshment.of game history. Not the best game to get, but good for some hours.

    SimCity
    The world’s biggest simulation franchise is back with a vengeance. We’ve all grown up playing SimCity, and it’s finally time to get back to living the life of a virtual city planner. Whether you play the game alone or with friends, SimCity proves to be a great deal of fun.

    Scribblenauts Unlimited
    Scribblenauts Unlimited offers infinite possibilities. You can do everything you can imagine, which makes this a very creative game. Overall it is just unlimited fun.

    Crysis 3
    Crysis 3 looks absolutely stunning. Strip away the graphics however and you are left with a mediocre shooter with some fancy gimmicks. The stealth gameplay saves the day.

    Special Forces: Team X
    Behind the boring and average title, there is actually a surprisingly deep shooter. The new way of voting on a map and the different ways the game encourages you to work together with your team are refreshing and smart. There is a lot to unlock, but Special Forces: Team X is bad at showing what you just unlocked, which makes it hard to find new gear.

    Fieldrunners 2
    Fieldrunners is a great game that offers more Tower Defense fun, challenges and puzzles. The game looks great and the soundtrack is wonderful. You can drown for hours in this game.

    Croixleur
    Croixleur turned out to be a little game with a lot of spirit. Sadly this doesn't make up for the few hours of gameplay the game offers. It's not very special but it will only cost you a couple of dollars.

    Skulls of the Shogun
    We were happily surprised with Skulls of the Shogun. Behind the cartoony art style there is a strategy game with great depth, and a lot of innovative ideas. The campaign slowly teaches you how to use the different units, and the funny story keeps you coming back for more. The multiplayer seals the deal with hours of extra fun you can have with your friends or any other samurai skeleton from around the world.

    Hitman HD Trilogy
    Hitman HD Trilogy reminds us a lot of the Splinter Cell HD Trilogy. There are three great stealth games bundled on one disc, but the HD update is so non existent that it is hard to ignore how much these games have aged.

    Aliens: Colonial Marines
    As a player, you would expect a survival horror game but it's nothing more than a normal shooter. But there are better shooters available. ACM contains bugs and fails on the graphical aspects. Not worth a buy.

    The Cave
    The Cave is a nice game and worth it to play because of the good puzzles. You definitely need to be patient to solve all.

    The Cave
    This game is a decent platform puzzle game for the Wii U. However it's shame that the game doesn't really use the new possibilities from the Wii U.

    escapeVektor
    For short periods of time escapeVektor is a great game. The more time you invest in playing however, the more you see the flaws.

    NBA 2K13
    The king of basketball games delivers pure quality, as it did on the other consoles. Its Wii U-exclusive may not warrant a purchase, but the great experience and fluent controls certainly do.

    Omerta: City of Gangsters
    While Omerta has a great gangster style with the black and white photos and jazz music, the gameplay itself feels more like work than playing a videogame. The animations in the fighting scenes are stiff, and the only thing that changes when your influence on Atlantic City grows are the emblems above the houses. All missions start up slow, and especially in the first few hours you are constantly waiting for your henchmen to finish their task.
