The mobile version of Skylanders Trap Team is a great step for the future of mobile gaming. Maybe the gameplay it’s not so fresh, even with the traps, and is not cheap to enjoy the full content. But it’s a great game that now you can play everywhere.

You'll stop playing FIFA 10 only when FIFA 11 will be on shelves. Great job EA, great job Moore, great job Rutter. You have to play it!

Despite its high price and its short length (1200 MS Points for approximately 4 hours, with very little re-playability, is not exactly the deal of the year!) Limbo is still a thrilling, breathtaking experience: simply let the darkness surround you!

Mark of the Ninja is a must for Xbox 360 owners. A platformer-stealth winking to puzzle-games, with an enviable replay value, an accessible but yet honest gameplay and a commendable level design, which transforms the latest title form Klei Entertainment in a non-linear and unpredictable experience.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a great way to finish the storyline of Ezio Auditore. The game is a better version of Assassin's Creed 2, and offers a solid adventure with loads of missions and a great variety. The multiplayer needs some improvements and could become really addictive in Assassin's Creed 3, but as for now it looks just like a minor extra.

Super Meat Boy has a great power: it consumes your social life until you reach the final level. And after you beat it, it's not over yet: there are also the dark levels. Without any doubt, the best indie-developed game of the year: probably, the most addictive and one of the best platformers of this generation.

Although Rockstar Leeds could have probably pushed the quality of this porting a bit further, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars proves to be an excellent game, capable of entertaining throughout the adventure. A real must buy for any PSP owner.

Dead Space 2 is bigger, better but less scary than the first episode of Visceral Games' horror franchise. This is not a crime, though, because the game is really awesome. The multiplayer is interesting but looks just like a simple extra to the main game.

Monster Hunter finally arrives on the new generation consoles. Its soul is intact: it is always divided in two main sectors, the preparation and the hunt, and it’s fun as ever. The hunts are long and secondary quests or activities, like collecting the pieces to craft armors and weapons, could take months. The monsters are now moved by the most complex and smooth animations we've ever seen in a videogame, but maps are not so big and interactive. Monster Hunter: World is a big step up for the series, not for the current videogames scenario.

Dota 2 it's obviously one of the best MOBA around. It offers more than 100 beautifully designed champions for free and it needs a lot of practice to be mastered. Better or worse than LoL? It’s just different, you have to try them both.

The best card played by Eidos Montreal is the core of the stealth gameplay, and the vast array of augmentations can change drastically the way the player can solve the most intricate security situations. Ok, the graphics and the combat probably aren't the freshest beverage of this summer, but for 20+ hours of high quality hide and catch, you can drink them anyway and leave the complains for the inevitable DLCs.

Even if the graphic engine has not been revamped, this second chapter of the famous iPhone FPS is still a very nice product. With a fabulous 10 player online mode and a lot of missions to attend, you'll have a lot of fun, even if it's a "more of the same". You should wait for a price cut only if you have the previouse game and you are not interested to multiplayer.

FIFA 13 is the best football simulation out there. It has a deep and engaging gameplay and a variety of game modes, offline and online.

Quotation forthcoming.

An epic sequel with a compelling, entertaining, long-lasting single player and one of the finest co-op experiences of all time.

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition brings to Nintendo Switch one of the best modern role-playing games ever created: the visual element, the main weakness of the title, has been updated with care and respect for the original work, as well as the musical rearrangements. The game mechanics are still incredibly good today, confirming how mature Monolith Soft's work was at the time of publication.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the New Nintendo 3DS is a great remake, with many interesting changes from the original formula. Most of the new features work in a great way, offering a smooth and lovely gaming experience. Zora’s new swimming system is a little bit disappointing, clumsy and less fun than the original one. Both new players and fans of the original Nintendo 64 game should give this new Majora’s Mask the right amount of love.

Quotation forthcoming.

Quotation forthcoming.

Far better than the previous game in the series, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 delivers one of the more satisfying and flexible JRPG experiences ever made and Monolith confirms itself as one hell of (Switch) developer.

The last episode of The Walking Dead is a worthy finale for a well crafted and emotional adventure game.

One step back for the gorgeous Nier Automata on the Nintendo Switch . The game is still entertaining but the equation 720p/1080p + 30fps doesn't give the best result. The “portability factor” adds something, but not enough to convince those who already played the game on other platforms.

L.A. Noire is not a perfect game under many points of view, but on the other hand it is a masterpiece that no one should miss. It's a TV series packed in game disc, a fine example that videogames can be art and the proof that there's still the chance to create something new in videogames.

The Delicious Last Course is a delightful DLC that expands on the good things seen in the original Cuphead. The new playable character, Ms. Chalice, adds variety to the gameplay while the new bosses designed by Studio MDHR are all great fun to face. Offered at a price within everyone's reach, this additional package is an experience not to be missed.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a good remake of the Microprose's original game. Old fans may find it too simplified, but the new XCOM is, however, a modern and spectacular turn-based strategy game. It is not perfect but it's a game that many people will love.

NORCO is hauntingly beautiful. A surreal tale that is dystopic and futuristic but at the same time extremely rooted in the hopeless and sad reality of the suburban industrial areas of USA. A sort of a great acid trip that we won't soon forget.

Monument Valley is simply one of the best iOS games available on the App Store. Buy it, play it and then thank the developers from Ustwo. A must have.

Artorias of the Abyss is finally available as a DLC for the console versions of Dark Souls. If you've loved the main game, you'll enjoy this new adventure and, above all, you'll be hella happy to try the new PVP arenas. What are you waiting for? Buy this DLC and Prepare to Die!

Battlefield 3 for PC is an excellent game, probably the pinnacle of the whole series. Thanks to eye-candy graphics, it's easy to be hooked up by well oiled gameplay mechanics. The short single player and coop modes are compensated for by a great multiplayer, that gives us a real contender to the Call of Duty franchise.

Dead Space 2 is bigger, better but less scary than the first episode of Visceral Games' horror franchise. This is not a crime, though, because the game is really awesome. The multiplayer is interesting but looks just like a simple extra to the main game.

Now that Dreams democratized video game development, it's just a matter of time before we meet the next great designer. But in the end, it doesn't matter: a child who is free to embrace creativty and turn his Dreams into reality is more than enough to prove the potential of the project.

Stunning graphics, one of the most addictive gameplay available in the App Store and hours and hours of fun. Infinity Blade II is the best sequel possible we could have wished, frantic and ruthless like no others. Once again, Chair and Unreal Engine accomplished the job.

A wonderful work built with good taste and an intriguing – although simple – plot. A very responsive and functional menu helps during the difficult investigation, the graphic shows inventiveness. Sounds and Voice actors are overall great.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is the most wonderful time travel experience we've lived through videogames. But despite the marvelous work by Vicarious Visions, the heart and the soul of the game reside in its roots.

Thanks to its strong narrative and wonderfully crafted gameplay, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker proves to be one of the best PSP titles currently on the market. With nothing to envy to other games of the franchise, this product will surely keep you busy for a long, long time.

NBA 2K11 improves everything from the past chapters of the series and it's actually the best and most realistic basket videogame of all time. It's a shame that it still doesn't offer a decent an online experience, but if you love Michael Jordan, this is a love letter for you.

Horizon Zero Dawn is an amazing game and a gorgeous experience, crafted with elements and ideas from many other games. Despite its lack OF originality, this product from Guerrilla Games is a great piece of work.

Pike and Shot is a remarkable strategic title both for his historical depth and for his longevity. Mechanics-wise the game is fun and interesting and with a 30 scenarios-long campaign, a multiplayer mode and a very complete skirmish mode those 20 euros are a fair price.

NBA 2K11 improves everything from the past chapters of the series and it's actually the best and most realistic basket videogame of all time. It's a shame that it still doesn't offer a decent an online experience, but if you love Michael Jordan, this is a love letter for you.

A farm simulator that’s both simple and smart, with game mechanics and features taken from other popular games and genres. One of the best indie games to date.

Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is a simply unmissable opportunity for those who have not yet had the opportunity to play the game: with its exceptional visuals and a steady framerate, it's an excellent trailblazer for the upcoming 9th generation of gaming.

Did we really need it? Nope. Is it too expensive? Yes, it is. But who cares, it's a game of eternal beauty, and after this graphic overhaul it still wins against the majority of "new" triple A games on the market. Hands down.

Quotation forthcoming.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is a splendid effort that transforms a fun game into an astonishingly deep and interesting tactical and strategical experience. It is THE way to play XCOM 2.

Joe Danger Touch is to the first Joe Danger what Rayman Jungle Run is to Rayman Origins: a brand new game for the franchise, re-designed from scratch to embrace all the features of the iOS devices family. And of course, funny and addictive as hell.

A perfect working mix between fights and exploration: high rhythm, never boring. You're going to feel pure fun as if you're back again playing coin-up, being stuck with your pad, achievement after achievement, enjoying it for hours. Nothing more to ask from a game such this.

Spelunky is back on Vita and PS3 with a solid conversion and some new features. Local co-op on a separate screen on Vita is a nice addition but the lack of the daily challenge feature may be a weak point for someone. Recommended if you’re an old-school gamer.

Modern Warfare 3 is a funny and entertaining game. If you liked the previous chapters of this huge franchise you'll love this new one. Infinity Ward has done a very good job offering a complete package with a honest single player, a great co-op and a quite different multiplayer from that of Black Ops. Unfortunately, the sensation of playing a "more of the same" game in quite intense.

What Remains of Edith Finch is an emotional journey through some of the most beautiful stories ever told in videogames. Some might call it walking simulator, others simply a masterpiece. We undoubtedly prefer the second one.

This Director's Cut fixes a few big issues of the original Deus Ex Human Revolution. Thanks to the redesigned boss battles and to the great use of the Wii U's GamePad, this is the best version of the title to date. If you didn't play the game two years ago, this is the moment to try one of the most interesting cyberpunk experiences of this generation.

Vastly entertaining but highly derivative, Bethesda's latest effort perhaps isn't the behemoth of originality that some expected it to be, but still it is a game that every fan of stealth-oriented action/adventures shouldn't miss.

The PC version of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is much better than the previous chapter of the popular Ubisoft franchise. The more user friendly DRM, the inclusion of every DLC of the console version and the better optimizations of the game, grant a great experience to who will decide to buy this product.

With Super Mario Maker, Nintendo is giving you the entirety of its legacy, along with a perfect editor to play with. Both creators and old school players will find in this game a fun, powerful and addictive experience.

Bioshock 2 is a very good game. The journey back to Rapture is a success due to the new gameplay balancing: the combination between new powers, new weapons and new tonics is perfect to give the player the chance to specialise himself. We expected a little bit more from the multiplayer, well done but without anything special that makes it emerge among the other titles. Most of all, anyway, Rapture is non so fresh anymore, and the deja-vu sense is too strong.

Despite the good number of new contents and extras, we can only recommend the Definitive Edition of Ori and the Blind Forest to anybody who doesn’t have played the game yet. But if you have already explored Nibel from start to finish, you can get the upgrade for a reasonable price.
