    An easily playable though challenging kart game, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed offers a ton of fun.

    It's a nice game if you just like to shoot stuff and don't care about perks and story-lines. I can offer a challenge, but lacks variation on the other hand. In the end the price seems a little steep for what you get.

    If you are looking for a decent shooter for the Wii U, then this is the title to get. It offers a single-player, a zombi mode and lots of hours to spend in the multiplayer.

    If you buy Darksiders II then you'll know for sure that you got a lot of content. You can spend hours on this title. It's a decent game, not better or worse than the earlier version. It's just a good game.

    This games uses the GamePad options very well. It's one of the best launch titles one can get at the moment.

    Despite the fact that the Dragon flying aspect is a huge disappointment, Dragonborn still offers a lot of new, great content for Skyrim fans. New quests, new items and enemies will keep players coming back to the land of Solstheim for hours and hours.

    If you want a good game with which to play mini games, then Nintendo Land is your game to get. Game Party Champions has some nice mini games, but also enough stupid ones.

    This absolutely is a good fighting game for the Wii U. It's a port from the PS3 and Xbox 360 version but it has an extra mode which is fun to play.

    It's good to see there are still developers who dare to try something different. Because let's be honest..how many zeppelin sims are out there now? Exactly. Guns of Icarus Online offers a fun concept, working together with some random players on a flying fortress, trying to defend it from other, similar foes. Bugs and lag cause major disappointment however. That's a shame, because the idea is great. Let's hope a great amount of patches will deal with these problems.

    Everyone with a Wii U should buy this good platform title. It's a 2D Mario adventure in high definition. But the game doesn't use the GamePad in a good and innovative way.

    A must have for every role-playing game lover. However it must be said that the version for PS3, Xbox and PC is better than the Wii U version if it comes to gameplay and graphics. The GamePad is not that innovative in this case.

    Another expansion for De Sims 3 and this time it adds a lot of realism. That makes it kind of cool, but it still feels like a bit of a trick to make money for the developers.

    No Time Left is the finale of an emotional adventure that is told in the best way possible. Never did we have such compassion for a game character. Even after a few years you will remember Clementine and Lee and the hard choices you had to make. An amazing ending to an amazing game.

    Where other LEGO games already did really well, this game tops all of them. The story is told like it is, but with a lot of funny moments. The game looks great and the open world it offers only adds to the fun. This is truly one brick to rule them all.

    One of the most twisted and dark games you will ever encounter. It has everything from funny dialogues to the most innocent looking protagonist in a game ever.

    A beautiful, engaging open world, freedom in gameplay, love for stealth elements and more than enough to do; Far Cry 3 has it all. It's an open world shooter at its finest.

    Emergency 2013 eyes to destroy Europe using a lot of crazy disasters, but instead the only thing it really does is disappoint. A game for the budget rack.

    Mickey should be an epic game. Unfortunately that doesn't count for this handheld version. It's too old school. People who are searching for a decent Mickey game: buy the console or PC-version (Power of Two) instead.

    Pid
    Pid can best be described as a typical indie game: it offers a unique world, interesting audio-visual presentation and great platform gameplay with a twist. The gameplay does have some shortcomings, but overall it's a fun game.

    With Pool Nation you'll get a pooling experience that you've never had before. The simulator delivers several game modes and a lot of options to choose from. Every kind of shot that you can imagine is possible to make in the game and because of that you can truly speak of a great simulator. Another big plus are the graphics, which are truly stunning for a low budget title. If you want a great pooling experience without having to travel to a café, Pooling Nation is an offer you can't refuse.

    Like a real party Forza Horizon can entertain you for hours. The game offers variation in both the singleplayer and multiplayer modes and looks fantastic. The soundtrack just completes it. Despite a few flaws the franchise took a turn that proves to be good for newcomers, but also great for the fanbase. You can't miss out on this party.

    Hitman: Absolution is compelling to passionate fans as well as new players. It is the assassination game everyone was waiting for. Move over Corvo and Connor, it is Agent 47's time to stand on top.

    Pokédex 3D Pro is a source of information that is incomplete. Nevertheless it is cool to look at Pokémon in 3D, but the price keeps you from buying it.

    The newest entry in the Paper Mario series is an enjoyable game that looks and plays amazing, but it does have a few flaws. The lack of a experience system made us skip battles, and when you get stuck there is no hint system to help you out. This doesn't mean that Sticker Star is a bad game, it's just not what you may have hoped for from a new Paper Mario game.

    For the first time Oswald the Lucky Rabbit is a playable character and he even has his own voice. The fun is to play co-op, a big innovation in comparison to the previous Mickey game. Mickey and Oswald are a perfect team.

    This game feels like Call of Duty which means its a good shooter. However it has some bugs and its innovative but not really innovative. Do you understand? Its a good shooter but its not the best game this year.

    When Vikings Attack! is a fun game at first but gets repetitive very quickly. It is a fun snack in a holiday season dominated by triple A games. Nothing more though.

    Book of Spells gives us the first opportunity to play with Sony's new Wonderbook. Although the game has its flaws it surely proves that the book works excellently as a controller. That's why we can't wait to see what other titles might be coming.

    Another Professor Layton game like we know it. There is nothing much new here now the series made its way to the 3DS. Regardless the same formula used as in previous entries, Miracle Mask is an amazing game worthy of playing by any puzzle-loving gamer.

    It's a nice Assassin's Creed game on a handheld but the game is far from perfection. But playing as a woman is cool, that must be said. Therefore Assassin's Creed Liberation is worth buying.
