If you like hard challenges this game is for you.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a nice spin-off expanding the story from the two main episodes, also shifting to an action-shooting oriented gameplay through a third-person camera. There is enough to enjoy for the fans of the series, but graphics feels quite old albeit the remastered visuals and there are also old problems imported from the original PS Vita version.

Spirit of the North is a poetic adventure through the Icelandicfolklore. This platform game is a great chance to discover the power of narration and the evocative power of videogames.

Without the PS Move support Doom 3: VR Edition feels (and plays) like a clumsy, rusty ride in an old horror amusement park.

Compared to the iPhone version, DH Alliance is a good porting with brilliant mechanics, deep gameplay and an addictive multiplayer mode. Ok, graphics could have been better , a new class of hero would have been appreciated and, most of all, Move is a little tricky to play with, but Gameloft's IP still remains an interesting action RPG in the digital delivery market.

After decades, Langrisser I & IIare still a milestone of their genre and it is wonderful to be able to finally relive these games in HR, on modern gaming machines and without the need for emulation. Unfortunately, the restyle work of thetitles has been done lazily to say the least and this sinks the valueof the bundle, which for the loyalty of its audience (and its price)would have deserved much more love.

White Night is a collection of already explored mechanics dressed in a peculiar, elegant and often uncomfortable suit. Very stylish, but too dull and punishing when it comes to actual gameplay.

The Spectrum Retreat is definitely a promising debut for the Bafta award winner Dan Smith. The first person puzzle-adventure is not at all flawless but it deserves the attention of every fan of the genre.

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

Quotation forthcoming.

Another Sight hits for some good ideas, but gets lost along the way. Few brilliant puzzles are blown away by faulty gameplay.

Hextech Mayhem is a fun game, but it’s often too confusing due to the visual effects.

Considering the fast-paced action of the singleplayer campaign and its rich multiplayer, the only ones who might be disappointed of Zipper Interactive's work are those looking for a really hardcore strategic experience. Compared to older iterations of the franchise, Special Forces is in fact much more simple and accessible.

Thanks to a strong narrative and a relatively good concept, Nier is to be considered a decent addition to the PS3's and 360's RPG catalog. Although its visuals aren't surely breathtaking and its gameplay doesn't excel in terms of depth, the game will in fact manage to guarantee a likable experience to any fan of the genre.

More a puzzle game than a platform, Turn On, despite many flaws, wins the heart of the gamer with a truly inspired and dreamy design.

Steel Rats is a title that we want to promote, thanks to a successful hybridization of playing styles that are not too simple to match and an immediate, amusing and at the same time varied and satisfying play structure. The smudging of the title is mainly linked to an excessively minimal narrative segment and to a sometimes ineffective sense of progression. Nonetheless, these are rather marginal aspects in the calculation of such an immediate, frenetic and enjoyable experience.

Alien Breed 2: Assault presents the same dynamics of the original game trying to rejuvenate them. More guns, more aliens and a little more of variety give a new life to a classic brand.

This DLC is really good, and offers a few hours of great gameplay. Every single mission is studied to give the player the chance to consider how to play. With this DLC, players gain the possibility of exploring a brand new zone of Florence. Some audio issues ruin the experience, at least in the Italian version, but it's just a minor problem.

With Gotham Knights WB Games Montreal delivers a pretty decent and enjoyable action game with structural and balance issues that result in a mere distant echo of Rocksteady's Arkham series.

Nights of Azure is an action JRPG starring the beautiful Arnice, a Saint Knight who has to fight to prevent the awakening of the Night Lord. Her long time friend Lilysse will help her in this mission through a compelling story of friendship. The story is interesting and the battle system quite developed, but an inconsistent difficulty level partly ruin the overall experience. Hardcore JRPG’s fans could find this game too easy, but it shall be enjoyable for most people.

KickBeat is an interesting experiment ruined from a couple of clumsy design elements. The lack of a clean layout and the boring progression through the unlockable elements are the main issues of this project. The low price tag and the lack of good European music games on PS Vita are enough to turn KickBeat into a valuable option for gamers who are interested in replacing Lumines.

The concept is interesting and the setting fascinating, but the game can't offer anything more than the beautiful Mark of the Ninja.

Below is a great indie game which can mix genres and mechanics to tell a story that is worth playing. It could have been a real masterpiece, with some more balance between the combat system and the survival gameplay.

This DLC features a brand new power which destroys one of the most entertaining elements of the Assassin's Creed gameplay. The eagle power ruins the famous free running exploration of this Ubisoft's series, turning the game into something different...but not necessarily better.

It is fun and engaging, and you will have to study at length every most important aspect within it: from the trade to the economy, from the strategy of naval battles to any situation that may arise. The greatest risk is that it may not be for everyone, despite its value and proposition. Port Royale is back, now get your sails ready!

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a clear step ahead of the mediocre Ninja Gaiden 3. Team Ninja tried his best to improve the original game and the final result is pretty good. Not awesome, but still good enough.

Even though it doesn't meet the high expectations of the fans of the series, Sniper Elite III is a good title for the sniper lovers and for those who are looking for an unusual take on World War II.

Another challenging and entertaining racing game from Italian developer Milestone... but not enough to compete with the best titles in the genre.
