Kokuga is completely different from Ikaruga on both gameplay and design sides. The tactical approach to every single mission is interesting enough to keep capturing players' attention. Sadly, the lack of an online multiplayer mode is a big mistake from G. Rev.

Republique Remastered is a short but well crafted stealth experience, originally developed for iOS and now available for PC and Mac. A good story and a polished gameplay are definitely on the plus side, but this remastered edition fails in offering something new, and is suggested only to those at their first encounter with the game.

The Wii version of Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is better than the PS3 or 360 versions. The game has its own style, and offers very good ideas to play with. The original powers the Prince can use during his journey grant to the player an entertaining and fantastic experience.

Sonic Generations is the simplest solution to give new vitality to an almost dead franchise.

Nintendo Land is something that goes beyond the simple teaching of the new features of the console and the controller. It makes you want to go on with the next attraction. It's a title that will give you much more than just one night with friends, in fact, you'll probably enjoy it better on your own. Too bad for some recycled mechanics and for some attractions less successful than others.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix offers a wide look at the first chapters of the series and, even if the collection doesn’t cover the whole saga, it’s worth playing. Nevertheless the lack of extra content makes the game mostly directed to those that haven’t played the saga yet and want to catch up.

40 euros for two of the best action games of the past generation is a fair price if you missed them the first time around. Well, there's also Devil May Cry 2 but... who cares?

Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing is a great copy of Mario Kart. It's atmosphere is really nice, and you'll love to play this game with your friends. The level design is good enough, and the 60 missions grant a good longevity even in single player.

Mafia II maintains the high standards of its predecessor but it lacks in giving a real sensation of freedom. Driving sections are good and graphics are among the best around, but they don't help the game to reach the top of its genre. Yet, it's still an offer we suggest you to accept.

Finally EA MMA walks on the ring to fight against it's rival, UFC Undisputed. The game is really good but the lack of the UFC license is a huge limitation for the most hardcore fighting fans. Anyway, the game is smooth and based on a simple but deep command system.

Another bunch of good-old games from Capcom. Most of the 32 titles included in this 2nd Stadium have already been published in other collections so think about it only if you're an hardcore fan of the “Big C”... or purchase the preferred ones as single purchases.

Quotation forthcoming.

Thanks to its solid gameplay and engaging game modes, Birds of Steel proves to be one of the best WWI dogfighting games out there.

Bridge Constructor Portal proves to be a very amusing engineering game in which to exploit physics and gravity to help the Bendies find the exit.

Life Goes On: Done to Death is a funny and enjoyable puzzle/platformer which offers some interesting challenges to solve and a mysterious, furry bud to find.

Through its landscapes, its silences and its curious inhabitants, the universe of No Man's Sky delivers an important message in the hands of the player: the journey itself is more important than the destination itself.

Distant Worlds 2 is following its predecessor’s footsteps providing us a vast and enormous 4X space sim, with more options and customization than ever. The inclusion of the ship editor is very good and adds depth (if it ever needed more) to a title that can and will be daunting for many. The inclusion of an option to delegate major parts of the gameplay to the AI is refreshing but is too tempting, and could reduce the entire game to a click simulator where all we do is to accept the AI suggestions.

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.

It's not a game for everyone but it's simply the best war simulation available. Deep gameplay, tons of stuff to do. Go buy it.

The PS4 version of Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is a great news for the fighting game community. Marvel’s community is still alive, and now every player can get his complete copy of the game for a good price.

Despite the lack of innovation, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is a great arcade game just like its predecessor.

Your Shape 2012 is just a simple update of the previous entry in the series, with a better UI and a few new activities. Go for it if you don't have the 2011 edition and want to burn some calories in your living room.

Only the next generation of consoles will give Codemasters the chance to overcome the technical issues of the last four F1 games. Anyway, this 2013 version is a good improvement over the 2012 entry that can provide F1 fans with endless hours of racing fun.

I Am Dead is a little wonderful tale which goes beyond the concept of death embracing love and the wonderful mementos of the persons who left us. The core mechanics are smart and well executed and despite the lack of a well needed variety this is another unique game from Annapurna Interactive.

Final Fantasy IV celebrates his 20th birthday with this gorgeous collection, that includes a "new look version" of the original game, The After Years sequel, a new section called Interlude and a lot of bonus materials that will drive you crazy.

A big surprise, Conquistadores is an intelligent mix, capable of presenting a good moral system inside an nice adventure. Another good game from Kickstarter.

Othercide is a tactical game with a lot of new and interesting ideas. The grinding involved is unfortunately too much and not always fair; together with the badly designed UI makes for a very stressing and fatiguing experience.

Modern Warfare II is not as courageous as the previous one nor as revolutionary but it is still a fun, galvanizing and filled in content war FPS, enriched by a technical realization of absolute value.
