    Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is a great fighting game, but this time Capcom has made a couple of bad mistakes. The lack of a basic tutorial for new players and some issues with the online (no connection quality bar and no spectator mode) ruin the online experience. This game is great, but needs some fixes with a couple of patches.

    Those playing for a long time have developed the 'eye of the old-gamer', a sort of skill that allows them to lead back the majority of games to a minimum of seeds that give life to the 99% of videogames. We then salute with joy Machinarium, a modern title that goes back to the past, rediscovering what we could call a casual adventure for hardcore gamers.

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a wonderful remake, a jump in time, a masterpiece in level design.

    Death's Door is a wonderful action adventure inspired by Zelda and rich with secrets and stories to unfold.

    Does it look like a big fat DLC? Maybe. Is it a more of the same? Yes, it is. But it's a lot "more" of a "same" that redifined the standards of the current generation of consoles. Destiny 2 is what the first episode should have been, and despite Bungie could have done more (as usual), at the same price of the average triple A it offers hundreds of hours of entertainment, improving the gameplay that attracted millions of players like a magnet.

    Mario Kart 7 is simply Mario Kart. The few differences from the previous games are just a soft change in the original formula. The new gliding experience is quite interesting and represents the best innovation in this franchise. This is an awesome game for the newcomers, but veteran players could be a little bit tired by the "new console, same game" strategy.

    Shu is a 2,5D platform offering a good mix of classic gameplay and new ideas. The level design is very good as well as the soundtrack, resulting in a relaxing and peaceful adventure offering a few hours of fun. This is not the game for you if you are searching for a challenging platform. There are no enemies in the game a part from the stormy all-mouth monster, who sometimes appears and a chase suddenly begins. There are good ideas though, from the visual art, to the special abilities of your buddies, who contribute to keep the gameplay varied. It’s a nice game, but really way too easy for experienced players.

    Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first ever full 3D Kirby game and a brilliant new chapter developed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series. You have to travel through a mysterious world jumping, flying, eating everything and absorbing and copying enemies’ abilities. A bunch of them return but there are brand new ones and an ability upgrading system. Mouthful mode allows Kirby to absorb larger objects like cars or vending machines that open the way to brilliant ideas and gameplay variety. There are a two-player local co-op mode and several items to collect, alongside a speedrun mode for secondary stages and a bunch of mini-games in the city. Even if the controls and camera angles are not always perfect, this is one of the most brilliant and joyful Kirby games ever made and a must buy for platform lovers.
