    Skulls of the Shogun is an unsuspected good turn-based tactical game, with an addictive cross-platform gameplay both in single and multiplayer, humorous characters and some cool ideas. With some more depth in customization and options, it could have been an instant classic.

    Obviously, DmC for PC is graphically better than the console counterparts. Fighting with Dante at 60fps is an amazing experience, with all the latest graphical effects you could imagine. Unfortunately no hi-res textures are present, but still it's an eye-candy roller-coaster.

    Aero Porter is a title that requires a lot of dedication to be fully understood, but still does not satisfy the gamer. For those looking for some quick entertainment, it will be too difficult to enjoy. The diabolical structure designed by Vivarium leads only to hysteria and boredom.

    Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition is a great fighting game. This version is as great as the others, and the nice extras are good enough to grant fun and laughters. If you're looking for a good fighting game for the new Nintendo console, this is your best choice.

    Maybe the weakest Borderlands 2 add-on so far, but Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt is still greatly enjoyable with lots of side-quest, boss battles, new enemies and monsters and an hovercraft-like vehicle that we wish we could have from the start.

    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.

    There's no Ultimate Team in FIFA 13 for Wii U, no "first touch" control, and the Player Impact Engine is the same as FIFA 12. Despite this, and thanks to the features developed exclusively for the GamePad, FIFA 13 Wii U remains a solid football game.

    GamePad integration is not so brilliant as it could have been, graphics shows some problems and B.A.T. Mode is interesting, but oversimplifies the Free Flow Combat System.

    With Just Dance 4 on Wii U Ubisoft is still applying the "more of the same" rule. The game is pretty much the same played on PS3, 360 and Wii, with just three bonus tracks and small differences here and there.

    A really well done game, with very rich and deep gameplay. The enormous battles, the good graphics and the rewarding mechanics make this game a must have. It costs nothing and the freemium model is not pushy like in some other titles, letting the game be satisfying per se. Planetside 2 may initially be a little difficult and will scare some players, but if you stick with it, you'll be rewarded.

    The Aftermath DLC is a good extra content pack for Battlefield 3. Two maps out of 4 are really awesome, while the others are quite standard. The Scavanger Mode is too fast and chaotic, but could be useful to change something of the usual gameplay.

    With Guardians of Middle Earth, Monolith's purpose was to bring the MOBA genre to the console audience, trying to adapt the mouse & keyboard gameplay to the gamepad without sacrificing too much.

    While licensed games seem to grow in popularity and quality, there are still titles that didn't even try to improve themselves. Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is one of these games. Despite the fact that the game uses the fame of the cartoon series, it is just a collage of levels, most of which are just colorless copies of the situations we used to see in the TV series. Too bad for the Griffin family, they deserved a better game than this one.

    While the Rayman series is still one of the most interesting in the Ubisoft portfolio, we can't say the same for the Rabbids, which have become silly, hysterical and boring.

    Until now we've got plenty of HD collection, remake and reboot, but it's still a good thing that sometimes an old masterpiece comes back for the sake of gamers. This is the case for Zone of the Enders: HD Collection, a good game which again presents one of the best sagas of the last console generation.

    Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization. Unfortunately it wastes a fair number of opportunities offered by its huge open-world background.

    Spy Hunter is a classic, old game from the past that is now at its second reboot. It's a shame that the developers didn't even try to improve this portable version of the game. Even if the gameplay it's not that bad, it's the lack of attention to details that is missing from this game.
