    It's so incredibly disappointing kids have to play with such mediocre titles nowadays. Marvel Super Hero Squad Online is one of those games that never manages to succeed in anything it tries to accomplish. There's simply so little to do, this title is not worth of carrying the great Marvel name.

    The first party game on the Wii U is a fact but to be honest, it's a failure. The tracklist isn't strong enough to play this game for a long time. Also, there are better karaoke games out there, think about SingStar and Lips.

    Retro City Rampage is a game that certainly has it's flaws, but if you lived through the 80's or 90's, this a game made for you. The adventure of Player is filled with references to that time period, and if words like Ninja Turtles, Mario, Contra and Batman bring back memories, you'll have great fun with Retro City Rampage.

    AirBuccaneers is an interesting concept that gives the term co-op an entire new definition. Sadly, the servers are sparsely populated which in return doesn't ensure very well-balanced teams.

    Primal Fears fails to create the survival horror feel and as an arcade shooter it's also a huge letdown. The only thing positive about this game is the co-op mode, but even this feels as a disappointment since you can only play with people from your friend list.

    The fact that it's another game with zombies is nice, but the old school atmosphere that Zombies brings is the whole reason you should get this. The awesome soundtrack and the pixelated look will make you relive your childhood memories.

    Spin Cycle offers a lot of unique and tough puzzles for a low price. Although it has its defects, it manages to entertain you.

    A great retro throwback and a amazing way to start the birthday of Mega Man. The mix of Mega Man gameplay and Street Fighter locations, music and characters works great, and if you are a fan of either one of the series there is something to love in SF X MM. Because the game is free there is absolutely no reason to not try this game.

    Anarchy Reigns does exactly what the title explains. It brings players to a world of chaos and adds a very thin storyline. The game is all about beating enemies up end allows you to doe this against the computer offline and versus players online. It's a pretty decent game with a dent in it here and there.

    A decent add-on that arrives over a year too late and offers nothing new.

    Playing with water was never so fun in this original puzzle game. Frustration might scare off some players, but those who push through will find a collection of interesting with plenty of variation.

    Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is a fun game for fans of the franchise. For other people the game does not offer something special.

    Terrorhedron could have been a great game in its genre. Like an ugly duckling that you wouldn't have chosen in the first place, but would have been glad when you did after all. This is not the case for this game, unfortunately. Awful graphics, combined with even worse camera settings, lead to the fact you should keep playing Tetris if you want a good old fashioned nostalgic trip.

    This is definitely one of the worst games made in the last years. Nobody should be playing it.

    For just 400 Microsoft Points you get a but load of content. Twenty new trials and a new motorcycle are included in Riders of Doom. Even though the trials and bike are less innovative than the content in Origin of Pain, the trials are way more challenging.

    The game looks nice and it has a energetic soundtrack. Unfortunately Crashed Ice Kinect offers only five courses and no online game modes, which makes the game only fun for a little while.

    A beautiful game that unfortunately isn't very unique and too lightly packed.

    Mark of the Ninja has almost everything you can wish for in a game like this. The animations are wonderful and the soundtrack suits the game well. You can play the game in various ways and this extends its lifespan. With a minor flaw the game may not be perfect, but the game is very close to it.

    The game brings the MOBA genre to consoles and the LOTR franchise and made a nice start for it. The controls are simple to pick up and the game offers diversity in characters and upgrades. However, the game lacks this diversity in levels and is bugged bij lag and long waiting times in between matches. A nice start, but not yet the result we hoped for.

    Yes, this game is short. No, that doesn't matter. With different game modes, fantastic visuals, low price and great GamePad implantation this is definitely a game worth checking out.

    Full Frontal Assault is a nice little experiment, but all we were thinking is how much fun the old Ratchet & Clank games were. Making a multiplayer tower defense game of one of the greatest platformers of all time was not the best idea. But for a small budget price it is still good fun for a little while.

    This is a good fighting game. However it's a bit too simple. Real PlayStation fans will have a lot of fun with it because of the exclusive characters and all the recognizable environments.

    Fly'N brings beautiful colors to your screen as well as very accessible platform elements. The gameplay isn't that special but if you look beside it you'll encounter a very charming game with even more charming characters.

    Chaos on Deponia goes on where the beautiful Deponia has left. It brings a very funny story with characters that are just as funny. For a middle child it's still very satisfying to play and the ending even makes you scream for more. Truly a great game for the fans of point-and-click adventures.

    Three decent levels, nothing more. XCOM unfortunately doesn't deliver more gameplay additions, but heck - if you want to play three exciting levels, then buy it.

    Borderlands 2's second DLC offers a solid eight hour of entertainment filled with testosterone and crazy characters. The expansion might be slightly rushed, but is a lot of fun nonetheless.

    Zone of the Enders HD Collection has become a beautiful package. Both games offer original gameplay. Even though they are eleven years old, a surprising fact. The barrier between the two games can be pointed out as a negative thing, but both games are good enough to enjoy them throughout the full ride. This package belongs in your collection, no matter what.

    Planets Under Attack has become a really enjoyable game. The concept the game introduces is fun, but can become a little repetitive. The story mode has some points of critique, but the skirmish mode on the other hand is a real joy. Try to play the game with one of your friends, because that way you will get the full experience out of the game.

    This is the best Wii U launch title. Trine 2 contains a lot of fun and is a must buy title. Simple as that. It's just magical.

    Spy Hunter's might have a decent basic structure, the weak controls and graphics make it less enjoyable than it could have been.
