Codemasters has done a good job upgrading its already awesome Grid racing game. Grid 2 is a good example of how to improve a great project. The Live Routes races are really fun and can dramatically change the way a player approach every single track.

The new work by Level 5 created a lot of expectations in us when first listening to the developers commentaries. Unfortunately, while it is clear that the developer tried hard to fulfill this high expectations, they didn’t succeeded. The game itself, even if good enough, loses the novelty and the authenticity of the other Level 5 works. It is just a tiny, simple, good adventure. Nothing more, nothing less.

Persona 4 Arena is an awesome fighting game. The bizarre partnership between Arc System Works and Atlus has created an elegant, impressive, fun and worth buying game for both beginner and advanced players.

Star Trek doesn’t play it smart: the game gets stranded in a galaxy full of cliches typically associated with TPSes, ignoring at the same time the stronger aspects of Roddenberry’s creation.

Missing this game for just 14.90 Euro's would be like not robbing a stagecoach pulled by a pair of ill horses.

The last creature of Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro keeps its promises only partially, offering unacceptable graphics, a survival horror game that doesn't scare at all and not so brilliant mechanics. Nonetheless, there's something invisible, an empathic link making the whole thing an oiled mechanism. Survive to the first 20 minutes, and you'll never forget your stay in Greendale.

Game Dev Tycoon is a fun simulation, perfectly targeted to the (retro-)gaming enthusiast. Some of its mechanics, though, are somewhat simplistic and not 100% coherent, making the overall experience less brilliant than it could have been.

The Lost Reels seems to tell us just one thing: there’s nothing more appropriate for this kind of games than a good friend and a couple of light guns. With oversimplified control system and poor contents, it’s far from being the “real” mobile incarnation of the cult game we played on Wii and PlayStation 3.

The Cat Lady could be defined as a “non game”: it’s a beautiful, sad picture of our lives. Maybe one of the most interesting horror adventures around.

Sanctum 2 is a good blending of two very different genres. Just keep in mind that you need a great passion for challenges and strategy to enjoy it at its fullest.

Metro Last Light is an excellent first person shooter that we recommend to all FPS maniacs. Those who were fascinated by the original Metro 2033, can proceed to an instant buy without even checking the package with a Geiger counter.

Zeno Clash 2 is a new iteration of a game that does nothing to look coherent and structured.

With nice graphics, a light-hearted soundtrack, tons of bonus contents and, last but not least, a reasonable and not invasive iAP system, LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes is not just a wonderful porting, but one of the most interesting entries in Cupertino’s Store.

Heart of Darkness takes Victoria II to the colonialism age, giving a deeper strategy vision and more engaging gameplay; the crisis system is a very good implementation and the feelings of grand strategy were never so good.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a strange series and this chapter is no exception. That you love it or hate it, this is a game made of contradiction. It associates very good graphics with 8-year old gameplay, with no innovation nor changes, not even with the potential of the little Nintendo game console. It appears to be a decent game by the way, something that one who love the series could find very entertaining for a few hours, for everyone else, better wait for Pokemon X/Y.

Soul Sacrifice is a solid project with a great design and an interesting gameplay. Both single player and multiplayer are fun and addictive. After Persona 4 Golden this is the game you will play the most on your PS Vita.

Blood Dragon its a wonderful homage to the Eighties, and a very good variation of one of the best game of the last year. A true must buy for every thirty-something gamer who loves video games, movies and bad jokes.

Don't Starve is a good game that becomes a tad too repetitive after a while. The challenge is vast and interesting, but the constant grind for resources detracts from the fun in the long run.

Monaco is a good game but with too many repetitive mechanics and without a real differentiation between the characters. The coop mode starts with a bang but eventually becomes a little bit boring.

A funny follow-up to Poker Night at the Inventory, with several guest stars from other series and some entertaining dialogues and sketches. Too bad for some technical issues and the lack of multiplayer.

Chaos on Deponia is too similar to the first episode and too limited to its classic structure to get a better score. A good adventure, but it lacks in pace and brilliance.

The worst Xbox 360 game ever. If you're planning to buy it, please, change your mind. You deserve something better.

A motocross game like many others, with a good graphic, a simple and not so rewarding handling but with a multiplayer that is still capable to offer a good amount of fun.

With Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Capcom has done a great job offering a refined experience to both new players and hardcore fans of this fantasy game. If you've never played Dragon's Dogma this is a must buy, hands down.

Same great game as for the other platforms, pity for the poor use of the Gamepad.

The Redemption is quite disappointing. The final part of this trilogy has the worst spiritual power of the whole group and a flat, easy and boring final boss. The Tyranny pack is still a good product, but just for the Assassin's Creed hardcore fans.

Gameplay repetitiveness could be a nasty monster to deal with, but after playing Slender: The Arrival you will remember why, when you were a child, you used to sleep with the lights on.

This little, cheap, Vita game is surprisingly fun and addictive. The lack of online multiplayer is the only "big" negative note.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is a good action RPG, with satisfying exploration and a huge map. It could definitely be one of the best free to play games in the mobile market, but the freemium model is shameless and too intrusive, drastically downsizing all the interesting parts of Gameloft’s IP .

Riptide offers what Dead Island’s fans were waiting for: a “more of the same” splatter-gory gameplay with some tiny additions... but not enough to give everyone else something to remember!

With Uprising Treyarch has tried to create something different from the usual Call of Duty's Map Pack, but the final result is not that good. Two out three new maps don't show the best level design around and one is a remake from the first Black Ops. 1200 MPs is too much for a single, very good, multiplayer map and for a great new zombie experience.

Sacred Citadel is a visually impressive but a very bland fighter, that brings few new ideas to the table in terms of design and gameplay. Only for hard-core nostalgics of the “golden age” of arcades.

The Chase Begins doesn’t introduce any substantial change to the LEGO City Undercover universe we've seen on Wii U. Still it's a good title, with an enjoyable campaign and lots of loading screens you’re not going to love.

We feel confident that Shootmania Storm will be worthwhile more for the future user-generated content than for the actual gameplay offer. Buy it if you want to invest in an interesting old-school competitive FPS.

A fun idea and quite an amusing gameplay but very, very, very short life span!

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is the best golf game on consoles but is far from being perfect, with few additions to the formula that introduce new problems. The game needs a deep reboot to shine again!

Injustice is a deep fighting game which is a lot of fun. The combat system is quite different from Mortal Kombat and offers a really good experience. The Story mode is the best ever seen in a fighting game.

If written words don't scare you, Virtue's Last Reward is one of the best interactive books to date. Chunsoft's game mixes a great narrative with the hardest moral choices you can find in a game. Will you be a traitor or a betrayed?

Defiance is an interesting mix between an MMO and a FPS, fun to play and with many things to do. Too bad for the poor AI and a certain lack of variety.

Another poor implementation for a PS Move dedicated game. Move control schema is even worse than the DualShock one, gameplay isn’t addictive except for Foos Madness mode and, even from a technical standpoint, Real Foosball is totally under the PSN average.

Not only funny to look at, Toki Tori 2 presents an enjoyable and hardcore experience based on some original puzzle platform mechanics.

Anna: Extended Edition represents the natural maturation of Dreampainters debut title. Italian developers corrected the most bitter points of their previous work in order to create a deep and complete game, an homage at the same time to the never-dying adventure game genre and to the most deep and sick horror.

Fun, humorous, fresh and challenging: BattleBlock Theater is much more of a “game” than several modern “triple-A” productions, and definitely a worthy purchase for the puzzle/platform enthusiasts.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a clear step ahead of the mediocre Ninja Gaiden 3. Team Ninja tried his best to improve the original game and the final result is pretty good. Not awesome, but still good enough.

Code of Princess is a good brawler game which resembles the iconic Guardian Heroes from Treasure. The combat system is both easy and interesting and grants enough fun to entertain any kind of player. Few issues with the multiplayer modes ruin the experience, but the final result is still good enough.

Resident Evil 6 is a long and funny cooperative action game, but you have to overlook the outdated gameplay and level design to fully appreciate it.

Not particularly flawed, The Devil’s Cartel is just an unimaginative TPS without any exceptionally good features.

HarmoKnight is not as complex as Beatmania, nor out of mind as Rhythm Paradise, but it does good work with the crossover between platform and rhythm game. The points which Game Freak may work on for a possible follow-up are many, it would be easy for them to propose something, in a short time, that does not deviate much from this title, but is more refined and studied in mechanicals.

One of the most ambitious game on 3DS. A deep gameplay and a huge amount of contents are going to entertain the fans of the series. The others will love the funny characterization of the characters and the accessibility. The best Fire Emblem to date.

Even with console controls, Terraria is still perfectly playable and definitely one of the most enchanting indie games in recent history.

Most Wanted U is undoubtedly the best console version of EA's racing game. Besides the great step forward from a technical point of view, the various interface tweaks will improve the immediacy of use. Too bad for the small number of players online.

Dead or Alive 5 Plus is a great porting of a solid fighting game. Cross Play is the perfect feature to use in order to share the Team Ninja-powered fighting experience with a big fanbase. The Touch Combat mode is a gimmick, but other features grant hours of intense and entertaining gameplay.

A gigantic game with a layered plot full of surprises and a breathtaking setting: the city of Columbia.

A not essential but good DLC, especially designed for the hardcore fans of the Mass Effect Universe.

Luigi’s second “solo” adventure is bigger and funnier than the original GameCube title, but the stiff mission-based structure prevents it from becoming an instant classic.

LEGO City Undercover isn’t the Wii U savior everyone is waiting for, but anyway it’s a fresh, funny and LEGO-based game that requires lots of fantasy and humor to be appreciated. If you’re ready to unleash the enchanted player that is in you, it could be the one you’ll play for the coming weeks.

Thieves in Time is an entertaining albeit not groundbreaking game, that stays true to the series' legacy and manages to deliver a generally fun experience.

This DLC features a brand new power which destroys one of the most entertaining elements of the Assassin's Creed gameplay. The eagle power ruins the famous free running exploration of this Ubisoft's series, turning the game into something different...but not necessarily better.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a game that does little to entertain due to poor graphics and boring game design options. Keep this game carefully out of sniping distance from your wallet.

Gears of War: Judgment is a great example of how a huge exclusive can become bigger and better even after its (virtual) final episode. Epic can have nice dreams because Gears of War is in good hands.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the best Monster Hunter to date. 3DS suits perfectly to the game, but the lack of any independent online mode is a big disappointment for a game that has cooperative play in his heart.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is definitely one of the best Wii U exclusives. The gameplay is deep, the number of missions is huge and thanks to the online feature it's the best version of the third generation of Monster Hunter. If only Capcom had taken advantage of the console capabilities, we would be standing in front of a masterpiece.

For the die hard fans of the StarCraft series, Heart of the Swarm is a no-brainer buy. But those who expected more from Wings of Liberty will find few reasons to buy this expansion.

Stunning graphics, good controls and an interesting multiplayer don’t save Real Racing 3 from the freemium impasse. At the same price of its predecessor, it would have been a masterpiece.

Bit.Trip Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is a mix between a platform and a rhythm’n game. It looks sharp, it plays smooth and the music is the ‘Trip’ in the title. Try it for something simply funny.

With Darkstalkers Resurrection Capcom has done a great job, creating an appealing collection at the right price. Both Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 are deep and entertaining, with tons of interesting options to play with.

Some serious 3D eye candy and an interesting concept are spoiled by a pretty shallow gameplay in this Nintendo 3DS re-release.

An old school arcade, well-implemented and at low price. You should give it a try.

Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army gets the job done for an interesting price, but it's clearly not the most innovative zombie game to date.

We've chosen to rate the game, not the service so far, and this new SimCity is a pure joy to play, a different but worthy re-imagination of the franchise.

WRC Powerslide is a nice arcade interpretation of the classic WRC simulation game. The lack of game modes is pretty obvious, but the genuine arcade gameplay can offer a lot of fun.

Another bloody slice of the juicy Devil May Cry pie cooked by Ninja Theory. Dante’s brother is finally here to give players an entertaining but (very) short new adventure.

God of War Ascension is one of the most beautiful, brutal and funny action games you can play these days. This prequel definitely lives up to its predecessor, proposing an astounding adventure, and a climax of action and brutality with no equals. On the top of that there is a new multiplayer mode that brings over the character of the series.

With Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate MercurySteams follows its own way of thinking about the epic Konami franchise. The developers did a good job in capturing Castlevania’s soul, but the game’s soundtrack and level design aren’t good enough to stand a chance against the other portable episodes of the series. It’s still a good and entertaining game, anyway.

Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 leads the story to the point Kishimoto's cartoon arrived, adding small tweaks here and there and innovations to the technical side. The spectacular nature of the clashes is increasingly taken to extremes. Too bad for a little choice of brand new playable characters.

Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken is a really interesting and funny platformer available for PS Vita, with amazing graphics and superb soundtrack. Control schema is a bit clumsy and integration with Vita’s hardware could have been better, but it’s definitely worth a try.

Cognition is a good surprise for crime lovers: thanks to its gameplay, the game makes the player feel really inside the story. If Phoenix will go ahead like this, it will become a very important actor in the adventure game genre.

Syder Arcade HD is a good choice for shoot’em up lovers, offering at the same time interesting variations and innovations that make it accessible even to the less trained.

As expected, the PC version of Crysis 3 is a blast in terms of graphics quality. The single-player is very good, but the real surprise is the multiplayer.

The new re-release for Ninja Gaiden’s second entry in the modern-era series brings a few new modes/levels, gameplay adjustments and some fancy new costumes for the game’s female characters. Smells and tastes good... but not enough for the seasoned fans.

Urban Trial Freestyle has nothing new to offer other than Trials Evolution, but is filled with an addictive gameplay and a good longevity. The PS Vita version has some technical issues, but it's worth the price.

Crystal Dynamics built a gorgeous game, with a lot of good ideas and an astonishing artistic direction. Unfortunately, the game script is poor, and the lack of strong characters and design innovations make the latter part of Tomb Raider a spectacular third person shooter, but one without personality.

The game is a strange rock-paper-scissor like beat-em-up, too simplistic and too naïve. Even with Avengers and Marvel Secret Invasion license it does not have any appeal, if you aren’t a strong fan of the series. It’s evident the effort made by the developers in order to improve the game, implementing a new control system dedicated to WiiU’s GamePad, unfortunately this was not enough to improve the game itself.

The Tyranny of King Washington changes the way you play Assassin’s Creed 3: the new powers are a lot of fun to use and the new story, in this parallel world, could be intriguing. We want to use the wolf, eagle and bear power in the main story too!

With Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Platinum Games and Kojima Production worked in perfect harmony creating a fine piece of art. Fast and excellent gameplay hugs Kojima's elegant, intense and detailed storytelling. Few technical issues and a bunch of bad design choices ruin the experience, but the final result is still greatly entertaining.

Persona 4: Golden is the perfect example of a well-done remake. Atlus expanded the already awesome original experience, enhancing the graphics and adding high quality extra contents. This is one of the most interesting PlayStation Vita games.

Crysis 3 is looking gorgeous on consoles too, but it’s the freedom and gameplay that we love. Nanosuit’s power is a lot of fun and hunting enemies in this New York is great. A solid multiplayer is the classic cherry on top of the cake.

A very good idea wasted on a poor layered structure is in a few words the essence of Omerta. An offer you can definitely turn down.

Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is a nice attempt in the free-to-play genre, and is also a good action-RPG. The problem is that if you don’t want to pay a dime, it’s all about mindless grinding over and over again, and the AI assisted co-op it’s not well implemented.

A physics-based puzzle game that really deserves your attention and room on your 3DS.

A decent game that could have been much better with just a few vital improvements. Gearbox has wasted much of the enormous potential of the franchise, and as a result the game is enjoyable almost exclusively in the multiplayer modes and not more than a single play-through of the Campaign.

While many developers focus on free-to-play, Zombie Studios comes out with a nice, simple and original team based third person shooter. Special Forces Team X is interesting, in particular considering its main feature, a modular management map system which can create up to 1000 different maps. Unfortunately the game also suffers from some major technical issues that partially ruin the gameplay.

The qualities are largely predominant over drawbacks, making Antichamber a must have for puzzle game integralists.

The Republic takes Crusader Kings II into a new dimension, where money is the most important “value”. This expansion is a necessary step for the gameplay evolution and a good opportunity to play the game one more time.

Sing Party is a boring party game with few game design issues. Developers used Wii U GamePad in a good way in a couple of modes only, and the final result is a mediocre karaoke experience.

Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is a kick to Hokuto no Ken fans' dream. Despite an accurate Story Mode, mediocre graphics, poor sound and a clumsy gameplay, transform this Tecmo Koei game into a sad nightmare.

Brilliant and light-hearted, with a smart and sophisticated structure and a design standing out for imagination and variety, Scribblenauts Unlimited alternates a prefect rhythm to a simple but perfect puzzle game nature.

Dead Space 3 is a victim of the EA bizarre marketing strategy. The game is still a Survival Horror, with extra action in co-op multiplayer games. Visceral Games does a great job, adding new ideas (the weapon crafting system is perfect) to a still-young franchise.
