    Any fan of the Star Wars brand will probably enjoy the 6 hours campaign, but if you're not among them you surely won't be able to ignore the game's technical flaws and inconsistent gameplay. Better luck next time, Jedi wannabes.

    Super Meat Boy has a great power: it consumes your social life until you reach the final level. And after you beat it, it's not over yet: there are also the dark levels. Without any doubt, the best indie-developed game of the year: probably, the most addictive and one of the best platformers of this generation.

    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.
