Except for its touch dynamics, FIFA Football doesn't have any real problem, and should therefore be at least tried by any fan of the genre.

Limited in every possible way, from combat system to options. Maybe this is the worst game in the entire PS Vita launch line-up.

As beautiful and engaging as the PS3 and Xbox 360 editions but, unfortunately, this version comes with a bitter drawback: the co-op mode is gone!

This may well be the last great jRPG on Wii, so if you're a fan of the genre you really shouldn't miss it.

The Vita version of Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is really impressive. The graphics are as sharp and stunning as the one in the original version of this crazy fighting game. The new touch mechanics are kind of useless, though, but the final experience is still very good.

WipEout 2048 is the best racing game in the PS Vita's launch line-up. The lack of 60 fps is a shame, since this game is mainly focused on speed and smoothness. This and the very long loading times are the main issues of a really good game.

Asura's Wrath is an interesting experiment with huge balancing issues. This cool anime-style action game is too story-oriented, with tons of animated sections and just a little bit of gameplay. This could be a good starting point for CyberConnect2's future projects, but next time the developers should aim for a more balanced experience.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a great launch title for the PlayStation Vita. Due to the technical differences between the PS3 and the new Sony's handheld, this game can't be as gorgeous as they let us believe, but the final product is still a great platform adventure. Not a masterpiece, but still awesome for a portable device.

Alan Wake is a game that can guarantee 10 hours of spooky shootings to survival horror addicts. The gameplay is not the revolution that Remedy promised in the age of hype, when "next-gen" was still synonymous of hardware innovation, but for 20 bucks you can be sure that all the issues and the aging of the game have been already discounted.

Maybe this is not the (new) Syndicate that older gamers were waiting for, but it's a very good and solid FPS experience... for single and multiplayer fans.

Considering that this add-on implements a bunch of new furniture elements and not much more, the only ones that should consider this purchase are real fans of the series. If you're not among them, look elsewhere.

Shank 2 has simply improved every aspect of the first chapter that there was to improve. Visuals, combat system... everything looks great and better, but it's still a bit too short and a bit too repetitive.

The one and only certified Grand Slam tennis game has solid gameplay mechanics and a good amount of game modes... but it remains one, maybe two, steps behind Top Spin and Virtua Tennis.

Another shot of the dangerous life of Jackie Estacado, The Darkness II is a truly good sequel despite it being a little bit too short.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection has probably the highest quality-price ratio you can get. You'd be mad to miss out on what's on offer.

Even without any kind of innovation, Ryder White is a fun and thrilling new ride in our beloved and gory Banoi Island. If you loved Dead Island, this new, bloody slice of zombie-pizza will make you scream.

SoulCalibur V is a great fighting game with a completely new fighting system. The Project Soul team has done a great job changing the fighting mechanics, with few big mistakes around game modes and the character roster. This is a great new beginning for the saga.

A decent action-game that resembles Devil May Cry's gameplay in many ways, with less style and a single, interesting new idea that Rebellion, unfortunately, didn't develop as it deserved.

Although it could have been much better than it actually is, Final Fantasy XIII-2 proves to be a well-crafted product that compensates for gamers' disappointment over Final Fantasy XIII.

But be careful: playing without a strategy against a human opponent could be an authentic suicide.

A funny and challenging puzzle-platform, similar to Super Paper Mario and Fez... with just some of the worst graphics ever seen on 3DS.

There is absolutely no reason why you should want to buy this game. Awful gameplay and visuals, along with a pathetic storyline make this one of the worse downloadable games of this generation.

Another masterpiece from the makers of Fruit Ninja. It's free, it's funny, it's hypnotic... it's a must have!

Q.U.B.E. it's a niche product that deserves the attention of all puzzle game addicts thanks to an original gameplay concept.

Albion Prelude is a little step in the direction of Rebirth: not so many innovations but the same structure enriched with a sort of stock exchange.

If you don't like childhood-oriented rhythm games, maybe you can pass-by this one.

Thanks to its accessible and fresh gameplay mechanics, Medieval Moves proves to be a well crafted product that will assure an engaging gaming experience to both youngsters and more experienced gamers.

Sad to say, the results are totally different: mechanics are poor, besides too few ideas repeated throughout the game. Definitely, a half faux pas in the Warner Bros Batman franchise.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations PC doesn't show any particular improvement than the console counterparts save for the imaginable better resolution and frame rate.

Although it will surely satisfy youngsters, The Infinity Gauntlet's simple gameplay mechanics and shallow narrative will hardly engage mature audiences.

Another character, another two-maps combo and another set of skins. This "new" Arkahm City DLC is just as Nightwing's one was... fair quality, poor quantity.

Rise of Nightmares is an interesting idea, an ambitious project followed by a catastrophic implementation.

Hello Games did it again! Joe Danger SE is a wonderful Live game, with addictive gameplay, tons of unlockables and a valuable challenge level. The diabolical Laboratory, the most interesting add-on for the Xbox 360 version, doubles the single player longevity, offering a significant replay value. For 1200 MP, you cannot miss it.

Back To Karkand is a great DLC. The four maps are true classics from a glorious past, now even more awesome than ever thanks to the Frostbyte 2 engine. The new objective system is really nice and grants a brand new experience to the original game.

Although Ubisoft has managed to ship a solid and well rounded gaming experience, Hollywood Crimes proves unable to amaze and engage as much as many hoped and expected.

Serious Sam 3 BFE is the archetype of a breed of games that in 2011 is difficult to propose to the big audience.

Do not expect anything new compared to what you played six (or ten!) years ago.

Although Zeta Squad doesn't compare to Delta Squad in both attitude and personality, Raam's Shadow manages to deliver a fast paced, action packed experience that will surely please both fans and newcomers to the franchise.

With just a few changes from the WiiWare game, it's impossible to recommend Pokémon Rumble Blast at this much-higher price. Better to leave it on the shelf and to get back to Black and White editions.

Trine 2 is a perfect sequel: better, bigger and funnier. Frogwares gives us a new Trine adventure with an enhanced gameplay and a more balanced artistic direction. If only longevity would have been longer...

Same formula, another clever and engaging story… but why the European version of the game doesn't have the London Life extra-RPG?

Mario Kart 7 is simply Mario Kart. The few differences from the previous games are just a soft change in the original formula.

This is an awesome game for the newcomers, but veteran players could be a little bit tired by the "new console, same game" strategy.

Another year, another LEGO game and another success… but after that, please Traveller's Tales, give us something a little different.

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.

Kirby's Adventure Wii is an average platform game, miles away from the greatness of games like Donkey Kong Country and the Rayman Origins.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact is a new way to play a Dynasty Warriors game. The boring gameplay, a trademark in the Tecmo Koei's franchise, is the main issue o this tie-in, but if you really do like Naruto you could have a decent amount of enjoyment with this PSP game.
