Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z has an interesting style but lacks of substance and is technically poor. The level design is boring and the camera issues are pretty difficult to deal with. If you're looking for a good action game you should check out something else, or to wait for a price cut.

Gundam Versus is fun, but for a short while. Ideal online, but as long as the developers succeed in enhancing the infrastructure on which their creature is based.

A very good expansion pack full of new contents but also problems. It's fun to play like a werewolf or a fairy, a little less to have to deal with the zombies that do not behave as they should. The only truly effective weapon against the undead is the pea shooter from Plants Vs Zombies, only available in the limited edition.

An intriguing live-action mystery drama with solid narrative and some clever supernatural twist, flawed by some poor staging choices and tight gameplay mechanics.

Ash of Gods is a turn based strategy game where RPG and CCG elements are mixed together. Similar to Banner Saga but with critical flaws in the narrative and gameplay rhythm. The long texts of dialogues are dense and inspired, shaping a nice story, but kinda trivial. It’s adapt to whom are passionate of fantasy books, maybe.

Never Alone is mildly likeable as a platform and interesting as a documentary, but too short and easy to leave a lasting mark. Shame that its two sides never blend to create something more powerful that could truly immerse players in its fascinating Iñupiat folklore.

This porting of Dead by Daylight is fun and scary as always. Sadly, compared to counterparties isn't the best version out there: the downgrade is too big to be ignored, with framerate drops and some minor glitches.

Eight years have passed since the original Doom 3 debuted in the world of high-end PC gaming. Meanwhile, FPS have evolved so much that this glorious title shows all the time that has passed.

If Jurassic Park were a film, it could have been a very good one. Unfortunately it's a videogame, where interaction is paramount.

Better than the previous entry in the series but still far away from masterpieces like Virtua Tennis and Top Spin.

At the present time Cities XL is an ambitious but incomplete product that will surely need further work from Monte Cristo to reach proper quality standards. The game experience is in fact fun and challenging but also limited in many ways, proving unable to create real commitment from the players.

Despite some interesting game design ideas, an admirable longevity and brilliant graphics, this is unluckily just another shallow tie-in.

A psychological horror experience blended with a walking simulator that will make you ask for an antiemetic.

Avatar is a standard product which doesn't excel and doesn't fail in anything. Technically good but flat as for the gameplay, the game consists in moving on the map from one marker to the other, exploring and fighting. Interesting for Cameron's movie fanboys, one of the many shooters for the rest of the people.

Operation Broken Eagle does not propose any new development on the gameplay if not for the fact that the main character can count on a vast arsenal of firearms. Plot is fairly linear and flat, and the first DLC for Dead Rising 3 adds too little to the original game. And the longevity is quite low, with only 3-4 hours to complete the campaign.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning removed some dust from the textures but left the polygonal models and the user interface almost identical. Both of these elements would have needed a little more work to be modernized just enough to keep up with more recent productions.

A simple “twin stick” shooter like many others. With a very poor level design and no particular creative twists, Narco Terror sounds like a game from the '80s but without the grit that kept us glued to the screen in the past.

Charming multi-dimensional gameplay and lovely art style... but feels like something not finished.

Quotation forthcoming.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet is fun and colorful, and how could you not love Kirby? Unfortunately, contents are very few and the launch price (in a genre ruled by a free game) could make you not appreciate this delicious product.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z's combat system isn't as deep as the one from the previous Dragon Ball games. The lack of combos and variety is a huge issue for these kind of games, but the new class system is an interesting idea. If you love Dragon Ball you should look for the previous titles based on the popular Toriyama's masterpiece.

Although Fist of the North Star is far from beeing perfect, its intense atmosphere and engaging battles will surely manage to please any fan of the anime or manga... but if you're not among them, you should definitely look somewhere else.

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

Although Fist of the North Star is far from beeing perfect, its intense atmosphere and engaging battles will surely manage to please any fan of the anime or manga... but if you're not among them, you should definitely look somewhere else.

Sacred 3 is a whole new experience but not a better experience. The game is linear, the gameplay is flat and the customization doesn't exist. In coop is fun to play, though.

The European version of Dragon Nest is far from perfect, but It’s really entertaining if you’re looking for a simple and fun MMO experience.

Antigraviator has beautiful tracks and a solid gameplay, but it lacks of content with a small amount of ships and customizations.

How to survive falls just between Dead Island's open world gameplay and Dead Nation's action style... but it fails to give players a good reason to buy it.

Although its visuals aren't surely stunning and its campaign will only last a few hours, Predator proves to be a decent debut for the series on PSP. Developers will however need to enhance the experience to meet the standards of the console iterations of the franchise.

Fireworks is a multicolored tech demo for PS Vita AR system and front touchpad. Gameplay is immediate and definitely intuitive, but suffers from repetitiveness and lack of deepness: at least we are talking of a free game, with a couple of hours of longevity and some funny challenges inside.

A title able to entertain and then quickly betray those who play. A light gunplay and a too aggressive spawn system undermine the few original ideas. We recommend Earthfall only to those who still dream of a third chapter of Left 4 Dead, but there's better around.

ReCore is a basic TPS with a bit of exploration, ruined by its lack of courage and by few technical issues. The adventure is quite boring, but the platforming sections and the combat system could still appeal a number of players.

This should have been the comeback year for Magic, but the game lacks in personality even with the nice arrival of the deck builder. The experience is obviously aimed to players that are new to the genre, and even for them there's something better somewhere else.

Stronghold 3 is one of the last, big, exclusives of PC gaming but it lacks originality and has an amount of bugs able to destroy even the strongest fortified walls. The first patch has made big improvements but there is still a long way to go.

The Malgrave Incident is the second chapter of the series heading to consoles after the DS game. Unfortunately it's not as satisfying as the previous PC title.

Empire of Sin offers strategical depth, managerial challenge and, only occasionally, tactical fun. Lack of boldness in the tactical department, some technical glitches and an amateurish interface, keep this title from becoming a true classic.

A God-like experience in light form with cute aesthetics and with a gameplay that looks more like the Viva Piñata and Spore, rather than "serious" simulators like Populous.

A comeback for nostalgics and fans, that doesn’t succeed to give the same feelings as the old PC version.

Quotation forthcoming.

Though proving to be a decent addition to the basic BioShock 2 experience, this DLC is hard to define as an absolute must buy. Any fan of the franchise will surely enjoy its tendency towards pure combat, whereas the majority of gamers will hardly feel any interest towards the contents on offer.

No evidence of the 2K effect can be spotted playing WWE 2K14. Yuke's has tried to change something for both graphics and gameplay but the final result is a clumsy and hardly balanced experience. Just wait for WWE 2K15.

At times funny and at times not, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a pretty decent action game with a serious lack of inspiration. Even with all its deficiencies it is a nice indie clone of God of War, but it could have been much more than just that.

A short and flawed but atmospheric horror adventure with walking simulator vibes that mixes Norse mythology and sci-fi.

F1 Race Stars doesn't capitalize on its boasted official F1 license and turns out to be a very generic arcade racer, too generic for its own good.

This "new" episode of Castlevania is an interesting experiment which fails in few aspects of the main design. The single player experience is kinda of Missing In Action, sacrificed on the multiplayer altar. The idea is cool, but the final result is a barely sufficient game.

The substantial lack of innovations makes Re:coded a game that might be hard to appreciate for both fans and potential newcomers to the franchise. Anyone who's had the chance to play the old games for PS2 might in fact see the same strengths and weaknesses for which the brand as always been known for.

If you're searching for a lighthearted game to play with a friend to remind you of those great old afternoons spent playing Double Dragons, Spyborgs could be a nice choice (also given the almost nonexistent competitors): do not expect something epochal, but as a fan of the genre you could probably still have fun despite the flaws. If instead you're searching for a present for your little brother, cousin or whatever just forget about it: this is just not a game meant for newcomers.

Sports Champions 2, just like its predecessor, attempts to overcome the throne of Wii Sports. Thanks to the new sports included and the same, funny gameplay, it partially achieves that goal. Unfortunately, some issues with the controller drive the game off-road.

It's magic, it's a fable and it's a dream, but The Whispered World is also a nightmare for its bugs in the Italian version that compromise an adventure that, otherwise, would be one of the most interesting of the year.

Addressed to the fans of Hiroiko Araki's manga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R is marked by strengths and weaknesses of the title dated 2014, only proposing small adjustments certainly not able to change the original judgment. Featuring simple and spectacular gameplay, CyberConnect2’s game still lacks today in terms of cleanliness and balancing of the experience, due to some very imprecise hitboxes and a not well balanced roster.

The Shoot isn't a masterpiece, but it's the proof that PlayStation Move is capable of acting like a funny light gun.

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.

The quality of MicroBot's concept is unquestionable, but the same goes for its various balance issues. The game is cool, the fluid physics work just as they should, but the lack of rhythm between the fights and the exploration is a big problem, just like the lack of an online multiplayer.

Rush n' Attack Ex Patriot is a decent game that deserves attention from the fans of arcade platform games, in particular the old ones that 25 years ago wasted all their coins playing Green Beret. Shadow Complex and Bionic Commando Rearmed are in a different league, but it might be worth a try.

A dull and uninspired Layton clone, with a couple of good ideas ad a lot of repetitive puzzles. Sorry Doctor, but we prefer our Professor!

Pop-Up Pilgrim is a discreet puzzle-game that picks up many mechanics that came from Lemmings. Published exclusively for PlayStation VR, it would work much better on mobile, considering that it makes a questionable use of virtual reality.

An old-fashioned action platform, sometimes difficult as hell, but if you like Ghosts ‘n Goblins’ style games... this is for you.

Quotation forthcoming.

Fun Bits has developed a funny but too-simplistic hack and slash with a touch of RPG elements. The fun for some hours is assured but the whole experience seems a little too short and meagre.

A brilliant, humorous, crazy and irresistible character buried in a repetitive and uninspired game. Deadpool deserved a better treatment… Chimichanga!

An ambitious sandbox-train-management game that suffers some gameplay issues and a long-term lack of objectives.

The new game of Sword Art Online series is a fast paced third person shooter, set in the GGO environment of the fictional VRMMO of the original anime. You play the role of a new guy meeting the old crew, helped by an AI as your friend. The result is a messy reunion, moved by a decent gunplay but with a poor story.

TT Isle of Man has one of the best licenses out there to capture the suicidal excitement of zipping through country villages at 290 kilometers per hour, but the game falls short of everything around the Snaefell course.

Sure, it's the first Time Crisis with fully destructible environments and PlayStation Move support, but the awful controls in FPS mode fail to update an old brand.

Warriors Orochi 4 is a conventional and aseptic title, able to reveal perfectly the controversies of an eternally debated videogame subgenre. It is an action hack'n slash experience that will not dissatisfy those related to the carefree and shallow depth of products of this type, extremely and purposefully conveyed on a pure and immediate fun. It is, however, also a title that fails to renew itself too effectively, and which preserves a too repetitive gameplay and an obsolete technical compartment.

A gigantic, dark and potentially interesting metroidvania action-adventure, flawed by time-wasting level design and some poor gameplay choices.

Naraka: Bladepoint represents an interesting twist in the Battle Royal panorama, but it falls short in some of the core mechanics. The fluid combat system is great, but it becomes chaotic in more hectic situations. The visuals are stunning and music is on par. The business model is quite aggressive for a game that is not free to play.

Drawn to Life is a relaxing and creative game that makes the experience absolutely unique, despite its simple gameplay.

Although battling Sauron himself in the final showdown is enticing, this new campaign plays too similarly to the main game to convey the sense of grandeur of such an epic background.

Neither a full horror experience nor a complex puzzle game, Close to the Sun is a narrative adventure with an amazing atmosphere plagued by issues in both gameplay and storytelling. Despite the lack of originality this is definitely a step forward for the Italian team of Storm in a Teacup and an appealing world to explore.

Bright Memory: Infinite is a fast-paced game supported by various and well-built mechanics, but which pays off for being really too short. That’s why the various sections end up running out too quickly, leaving the player with the feeling of having played a simple prologue of a more substantial adventure.

Operation: Tango is a challenging spy adventure that will keep you entertained for a few hours. The title of Clever Plays, however, fails to materialize in a thick product, remaining a rather light and undemanding work.

Killing Floor is not perfect but its deficiencies are strictly connected to the graphics and details and it's not a problem considering the final result. If you are looking for an interesting and cheap game to put in your collection, Tripwire's last work could be a good choice.

World War Z is a third-person shooter video game developed by Saber Interactive based on the 2006 book of the same name, and set in the same universe as the 2013 film adaptation. The game follows groups of survivors of a zombie apocalypse in the cities of Moscow, New York, Jerusalem, and Tokyo. The plot is not very appealing and the sixteen characters are poorly characterized. The gameplay inspired by Left 4 Dead is fun in the early hours of the game, but it doesn't have much longevity.

Virtua Tennis shines of the light of the original one. Too many problems for the single player and a lack of courage by Sumo Digital keep it in limbo.

A mixture of puppets and violence, Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise unleashes your sadism, but do no expect too much.

Zombie Army Trilogy is a pretty decent third-person horror shooter, terrible but enjoyable at the same time if you have friends to share with.

Halcyon 6 is an interesting mix of many genres that succeeds in creating an interesting setting and a fun gameplay but fails to keep it up for an acceptable amount of hours.

Goat Simulator is again the champion of craziness, even on PlayStation systems. Compared with other editions of the game, nothing has changed: it is fun and entertaining, despite many limitations and flaws.

Gylt deals with delicate and interesting topics but fails to offer a concrete and exciting experience. Stadia will need exclusives of much more weight to win gamers' heart.

A ruthless and brutal survival game, unfortunately not that entertaining to play. A modest porting for console with some serious inaccuracies (bugs and crashes), did not convince us.

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.

Phoning Home is a good survival game and you will find impossible to not develop an empathy with ION and ANI, the two main characters. Anyway the gameplay is slow and a lot of bugs make it far from being perfect. If you want to enjoy the game you have to accept its flaws and embrace the moral dilemmas that you will face during the adventure.

This version is the best available for the God Wars series, but having no real improvements does not delete the fragile structure of the game. Tactical gameplay is safe, but not everything else, very poor for a genre like this.

EyePet is a product that, despite the undoubted potentialities of the concept and the technology used, is not as entertaining as it could have been, due to the lack of real challenges that, on the long run, make the game tedious and not so stimulating. If only Sony would have dared more, widening the concept of the game, the final score would have been much different.

It’s hard to understand why Nintendo committed to an overly complex control scheme, even after the loud criticism that accompanied the development of Star Fox Zero. The game feels better than last year, but while enjoyable for brief moments, it made us hope for a motion-free single-screen option. The nostalgia is all there though, if that’s what you’re looking for.

The Flower Collectors is definitely an excellent homage to Rear Window and the great Alfred Hitchcock. Nevertheless the interesting historical and visual aspects can't compensate a basic gameplay and the lack of a plot twist able to shake several cliches up.

Pathway is an aesthetically gorgeous tactical roguelike that feels oversimplified and never achieve the right level of engagement or strategic depth.

Halo Spartan Assault is not the best debut for the Halo Series on Xbox One. Its mobile roots don't fit the console market, and the lack of any cooperative mode for the story, a flat level design and a linear gameplay, can't enthuse everyone. Halo fans anyway will enjoy the deep link with the series while waiting for the next major episode.

The Persistence without VR is an ordinary roguelike horror game, with evident stealth features, a good atmosphere and a decent playful structure. Too bad about a very different perception on the atmosphere of an experience born and created evidently for the virtual reality.
