    It can be confusing at first, but The Wonderful 101 has lots of potential to unleash. A great GamePad support, even if there's something more to do with this new controller, and graphics make it the best third-party exclusive for Wii U so far.

    More robotic creatures, a wider map, underwater missions and better graphics: Forbidden West is bigger and badder than Zero Dawn. Still, after five years the combat system is less appealing and the quality of life is no longer up to the standards. Guerrilla Games could have dared more, but the result is, anyway, worth your attention.

    A pure old style platform ready to trigger your nostalgia and your laughs thanks to the unaltered 2D graphics straight from the late eighties and tons of quotes of old and modern cults. Nothing of totally new but more than a tribute. Rock solid mechanics, variety and a brilliant difficulty balance in level design make Unit4 a good platform for everyone and a hell of a challenge.

    Mortal Kombat is a great fighting game, simply quite far away from the strict mechanics of Street Fighters or The King of Fighters. The main gameplay brings with it a huge nostalgia effect, and works in a great way for who loves this franchise.

    Impostor Factory clearly shows the growth of its author. The topics dealt with may not fit everyone's tastes, just as we definitely feel the void left by the sparkling interactions between the two protagonists of the previous chapters; however, Kan Gao seems to have clear ideas about the direction his saga is taking, as well as an increasingly refined talent for causing emotional devastation to the players.

    Street Fighter X Tekken is a complex game with too many elements in its fighting system. The Gem System looks scary enough - it could ruin the entire experience in a blink of an eye. The funny gameplay and the good graphics, anyway, are just enough to turn this game into the perfect entry level for beginners and a deep fighting game for the arcade stick masters.

    The sometimes itchy control system and the cheap background graphics are not a match for a well conceived gameplay made to last for 50 levels of action packed platform gimmicks.

    Painkiller Hell & Damnation stands halfway between a remake of the original game and a brand new FPS. Same levels, no changes and a new story, it tries to purpose for a second time the first, cult game. Unfortunately, even with the Unreal Engine it feels like it's hundred years old.

    MLB The Show 22 refines its legacy and its well tested game modes, while adding some cool new features like online co-op play. You can play addicting Dynasty Mode with one or two friends and, for the first time in the series, there is cross-play and cross-platform support. While not adding anything revolutionary, cross-platform is the major sell point of this year edition, helping to build one cohesive community.

    I've been long thinking what score to assign to DJ Hero, and the final result is a heated 8, that has to sound as an encouragement for the sequel that Activision Blizzard will probably produce.
