    A little more than previous edition, Pro Cycling Manager 2012 goes ahead with its personal travel to perfection but his step is quite little. Anyway, it remains the best cycling game of the year.

    Another "Resi" HD Remake, another little disappointment. This time, however, Capcom doesn't deserve too much criticisms… this 11 years old title is maybe more geared towards hardcore fans than the newcomers.

    Obliteracers is a interesting kart racing party game by Varkian Empire. It's better to play it with your friends, thanks to a perfect local multiplayer mode, because the online community is lacking.

    Batora: Lost Haven is a story driven action / RPG characterized by a very good combat system and a solid flow. The first original IP from Stormind Games is flawed only in terms of the impact of the system of choices, which is less profound than the game suggests. However, we are in the presence of a fun and replayable production.

    Mugen Souls is a heavily Japanese RPG, with few great ideas and mediocre graphics. The combat system and the nice humour both balance a flat story and the boring space battles. If you like these kind of games, you'll find Mugen Souls funny and enjoying.

    Zeit2 is a fresh reinterpretation of the shot'em up genre, with psychedelic minimalistic style and interesting features like time-travelling. Unluckily, game mechanics are a bit too difficult not only for the newbie, but also for the shmup veterans. Remember that: after you'll start it, your fingers will be in danger!

    At times pure survival and sometimes a kind of story-driven adventure, Breathedge is a mixture which doesn't always work and that in different occasions has the fault of highlighting the main issues of its central genres.

    Bounty of Blood: A Fistful of Redemption is the most interesting DLC of those proposed to date. Although it requires the usual 7-8 hours for 100% completition, thanks to an all new cast it manages to offer a little more.

    Compared to the iPhone version, DH Alliance is a good porting with brilliant mechanics, deep gameplay and an addictive multiplayer mode. Ok, graphics could have been better , a new class of hero would have been appreciated and, most of all, Move is a little tricky to play with, but Gameloft's IP still remains an interesting action RPG in the digital delivery market.

    Contrast is a nice puzzle game with an amazing art direction but not so amazing gameplay. The dualism between light and darkness is nice, as the setting, a noir grotesque version of the ‘20s, but the game itself lacks on the technical side, and, after a while, even the puzzles become boring.

    Lara Croft's return to the isometric 3D world benefits from a juicy yet functional 60fps-graphics, room for two more friends to join the fray and a decent amount of things to do and tombs to raid.

    The Hip-Hop Dance Experience is a good game for true Hip-Hop fans. The wise track list and the interesting dance tricks are enough to grant a lot of fun to Hip-Hop maniacs. Other players, on the other hand, should look for Dance Central 3, simply better in every single aspect.

    The great soundtrack and the distinctive art-style are the two main things that we noticed during our first play through. After that is all laughs thanks to a witty dark humor, and fun thanks to an old-school hardcore rogue-like. This is a good indie game, aimed to a very specific audience.

    Considering the limited budget and labor force, Daymare 1998 is beyond doubt an incredible job carried out by an Italian team as passionate as it is talented. One wonders, though, if a similar project could shine its own light or is destined to remain a satellite of Capcom's famous horror saga, given how the very heavy all-round inspiration is often accompanied by a mediocre polishing and balancing of the gameplay.

    Disney Magical World is a simple variation of the popular formula born with Animal Crossing.

Despite the bland story and a certain repetitiveness, we were conquered by the compelling gameplay. If Ubisoft is able to fix the weaker aspects of the game, the future of Starlink could be promising. Sadly the decision to sell separately every single element of the game could keep the players away.
