While these three points certainly depress the fun of the game a bit, Out of the Park 16 remains a fine baseball sim. The game is extremely well put together and is strongly reminiscent of that other popular management game due to its quality. If you're new to baseball or just want to try another sport, then Out of the Park Baseball 16 is the game for you. Even if you have to bite through a few sour spots.

Still, GTA 5 for the PC is without a doubt the ultimate version. The game looks spectacular and this time you're driving around with that song on the radio that you can listen to 30 times in a row. The controls with mouse and keyboard make it tricky for you at times, but you can set everything up to your liking or play with a controller. The only downside is in GTA Online where you sometimes come across bugs and glitches that were there on the consoles as well. Despite this, it's now time to play for hundreds of hours again and GTA 5 is hugely addictive!

Bloodborne tests your skills as a gamer immerses you in a wonderfully terrible dead-skinned world and above all ensure that you want nothing more than to play this game. We simply can't get enough of it. Bloodborne is one for in the history books.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D makes the promise of the New 3DS' power a reality. It's marvelous to play such a huge game on a handheld, although it could have been a bit sharper. Nonetheless, this game is the same blockbuster as it was years before.

The story stands out from all the other Zelda stories,the dungeons are old-fashioned high quality, and the masks give the game a new load of depth that we don't find anywhere else. If you're looking for another title for your handheld, let it be this one.

Dying Light stands out from the other zombie survival games with the unique course element and if you play it together with others is certainly one of the better zombie survival games on that huge mountain. Maybe future DLC will prevent the game from being at the bottom of everyone's pile in a few months.

Deathtrap is a fresh combination of an action RPG and a Tower Defense-game. The game is quite challenging with a steep learning curve, but repays that with great mechanics, 4-player co-op and a cheap price.

All in all, Kalimba is a very good 2D platformer. The difficult puzzles, the colorful and triangular world, Hoebear, and the constant thinking about how to move forward all ensure that you get a terribly expansive game. And that the co-op is only playable offline is just a small smear on an otherwise sublime platformer.

Nintendo had quite a bit to live up to. Since the announcement of this game, director Masahiro Sakurai has been throwing coals on the fire of the Hype Train with his daily screenshots,teasers and cryptic comments in Nintendo Directs. The poor man has almost worked his way into the grave with the latest smash, but he succeeded; Super Smash Bros For Wii U is more than worth it. Super Smash Bros for Wii U is without a doubt the best game for the Wii U this year.

Never Alone, or Kisima Innitchuna, is a game that is genius in almost every way. The Indie game offers you graphical splendor, insight into a different culture, a nice quiet atmosphere and very good gameplay. The unfortunate thing about the game is that there is not much challenge in the puzzles, although it is a bit tough sometimes.

It remains to be seen how smooth gta online's launch is, but other than that, Rockstar has made a better version of Grand Theft Auto V in pretty much all areas, and that's still better than almost all the other games on the market now in 2014.

Still haven't played Shovel Knight? What are you waiting for! Shovel Knight is a great challenging game, not only for retro gamers but for anyone who loves platform games. Especially with the planned (free!) DLC that is coming soon is a no-brainer; Shovel Knight is the game to download on the eShop, without a doubt.

Shovel Knight has all the ingredients to make a game fantastic. There is more than enough challenge present to keep your attention. In addition, all levels are unique and a joy to play. The game looks beautiful with its 8-bit jacket and knows how to make you long for the games of yesteryear.

Bayonetta 2 is a great game on the Wii U that you'll enjoy for many hours, but Bayonetta's stylus controls, multiplayer options, and a number of quotes are disappointing.

Forza Horizon 2 is perfect in many areas. Visually, there is nothing to complain about, as it is not with the handling of the cars. The eye for detail is fantastic and the elaboration of additions such as Drivatars and music are also very well worked out. This added to the varied and spectacular modes, do ensure that minor negatives like the hitches and lack of customization are in the way of failure. Forza Horizon 2 is the best Forza ever!

Whether you're a seasoned Minecraft player, or a complete noob, the Minecraft Xbox One Edition is as addictive as all its predecessors. The game constantly keeps you busy searching for resources, creating new tools, and building or expanding your base. Meanwhile, you're constantly exploring untouched areas and the game remains terribly exciting as you're under attack every night and have to survive.

Although Destiny is a great game, we expected it to be a bit bigger. Nonetheless, it plays amazingly, has some beautiful planets and we look forward to the raids in the future.

CounterSpy is an interesting stealth-game, with a mix between 2D- and 3D-gameplay. The graphical style and music top this amazing, little game off.

Hohokum is a really relaxing game, with brightly colored worlds and soothing music, but people looking for a challenge are at the wrong address with Hohokum.

But the biggest reason why you should bring this game into your home is because of the co-op. Online or offline. Especially if you're the proud owner of one of the new consoles that don't yet have as many cooperative titles that offer as much depth as this one. In short, there is no better time to board the Diablo train.
