    This is a good Naruto game and absolutely a must have for the fans. There's a lot to explore but it must be said that it's a shame there isn't a tutorial for people who are new to the franchise or haven't ever watched the anime.

    The concept of Potzol's Puzzle is pretty unique and works great on the 3DS. There are a lot of different game modes to explore but unfortunately it all comes down to the same thing: aiming blocks through holes in a wall. This can cause boredom after a while.

    The A.I. isn't great and the lack of offline co-op is a bummer. The online co-op is the only reason you might buy this game.

    If you get excited by the thought of an airplane, there's enough content in Birds of Steel to keep you satisfied for a while. If you're more like the rest of us and just want to have some fun in the air, you'll be disappointed. The simplified mode is too easy and gets boring after a while. The realistic and simulator modes are too hard and unless you've got some experience in the virtual airspace, you'll give up before the second mission. It's too bad there is no mode that mixes the accessibility of the first mode but with the challenge of the other modes.

    Bumbledore is a small indie game that looks a lot like Angry Birds, so you know what to expect when you decide to buy this game. In Bumbledore, you play a little bee that needs to protect his hive from invading wasps and insects. The concept is far from original but can be great for short sessions. Now, if you will excuse us, we have a huge load of honey to keep safe.

    If you're a fan of fighting games, you will absolutely love BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend. It has a ton of modes, it looks beautiful and it even has a good storyline. However, the lack of content is what will stop people who have played the previous games, from buying this one.

    Waveform is created out of a unique concept and is mostly made for casual gamers. The gameplay can be difficult though, making it interesting for the hardcore as well. This game will frustrate you at times though. It's also a shame that the music gets boring after a while.

    Happy Action Theater is not really a game. It is however an impressive demo that shows what Kinect is able to do. It's fun to see yourself on the screen, instead of a small avatar. Unfortunately, developer Double Fine hasn't fully used Kinect's camera. It just isn't enough.

    Shoot Many Robots is not really the kind of game that you should buy full price. But if you're looking for a game with a nice co-op to play with you're friends, then look no further.

    This game has a unique style and is good in general, yet lacks smooth controls. The 3DS-standard is also not that impressive.

    This isn't a good game for kids because of the terrible Kinect support. It's best to watch Pixar movies instead of playing them.

    Cubemen is a simplistic tower defense game with a unique style that is best to be enjoyed offline. There are a lot of different game modes to enjoy and the AI is pretty good. Things tend to get a bit too simplistic however as all of the levels basically look the same and you can't upgrade any of your units. The multiplay can get frustrating as well, as people just tend to spam the cheapest units available.

    Army Corps of Hell is ironically repetetive and boring as hell. The game also looks pretty bad and one of the only good features is the soundtrack. Still, it doesn't help the game get a better rating.

    Rayman 3 is very fun to play even after eight years. Sadly Ubisoft didn't change much of the game except the graphics. There are numerous bugs that bother the game and the camera movement isn't working well either. Besides that it's a very good downloadable title.

    Fowl Space is full of sexual innuendos and parodies. It is this comedy that makes Fowl Space an enjoyable game. However if you drop the jokes you're left with a very short and simplistic platform game. If you're not amused by the idea of a cock shooting a dubious white substance in the face of a viking, you better leave Fowl Space alone.

    Sine Mora has a complex story with a ton of options that make for an interesting experience. Things like time manipulation, power-ups and a lot of different weapons ensure for a broad game with a lot to offer.

    Ridger Racer is back and manages to impress with some great gameplay and a brilliant soundtrack. The City Creator is bigger then ever, yet is only at its best when you've finished the game. The tons of new possibilities are great but they make the game a bit cluttered, giving you the feeling that you aren't accomplishing much. The multiplayer has also been expanded and will keep you entertained for many hours to come.

    Kids might like it, but anyone above the age of ten will look through this shallow game.

    You will have seen everything the single player has to offer in just a few hours. The multiplayer however is hectic and fun and is truly the highlight of the game.

    Of all the games with low production values, this one isn't all that bad. It definitely has it flaws, but it's enjoyable so you could do a lot worse.

    How many more reasons do you need to buy Fallout: New Vegas. With the Ultimate Edition, you will get tons of content for a fair price. If you don't already own this game, run to the stores immediately!

    The Sims 3: Showtime manages to make The Sims even completer then it already is. It perfectly responds to what the target audience wants and completes the social aspect of the game totally. This is one of those expansions that you simply cannot miss.

    Snake Eater still is a great game, but this 3D-remake is the worst version available. Even though it has some decent 3D-effects, it simply cannot beat the MGS HD-collection in term of content.

    Dead Souls' controls and camera will work on your nerves frequently. Luckily, you'll get used to it pretty fast, allowing you to see a game with a good story, humor and so on. So without a doubt, you should give this one a try.

    This game is a remake from a remake and therefore too expensive. The previous game on the PS3 is cheaper and has the same content. But if you don't have a PS3 then you can always look into this version.

    Dillon's Rolling Adventure is a fun and original tower defense game. It feels great to roll around and fight a bunch of weird monsters. Unfortunately the gameplay gets too repetitive near the end.

    Mario Party 9 contains a lot of new mini games and changes the rules of the game completely. The new rules are boring and everything depends on luck. Therefore this is the worst Mario Party title ever.

    Really Big Sky is a very colorful game and really easy to understand. It sadly offers just a handful of bosses and enemies. Still, this game is worth the purchase.

    Sure, Nexuiz is a fun shooter, but only under the right conditions. Unfortunately those right conditions are pretty rare, leaving you with unbalanced teams and terrible music.

    Fall of the Samurai is one of the best expansion packs that we've seen in a long time. The huge amount of new troops, technologies en agents make sure that you'll never get bored with the campaign. There are a lot of new strategic options to discover in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
