The diehard fans of Bruce Wayne can set up a good PC and prepare themselves for the coming of one of the best action games ever conceived.

A dull and uninspired Layton clone, with a couple of good ideas ad a lot of repetitive puzzles. Sorry Doctor, but we prefer our Professor!

The King of Fighters XIII is an awesome fighting game. The fast paced fights granted by the deep combat system are both technical and entertaining, and the gorgeous graphics and sounds are the final touch for a perfect fighting experience.

Although Ubisoft has managed to ship a solid and well rounded gaming experience, Hollywood Crimes proves unable to amaze and engage as much as many hoped and expected.

Serious Sam 3 BFE is the archetype of a breed of games that in 2011 is difficult to propose to the big audience. Boring and repetitive if played alone, due to obsolete gameplay and some level design choices, the game gets better chances to entertain when in coop. Do not expect anything new compared to what you played six (or ten!) years ago.

Although Zeta Squad doesn't compare to Delta Squad in both attitude and personality, Raam's Shadow manages to deliver a fast paced, action packed experience that will surely please both fans and newcomers to the franchise.

Another mini-game collection designed for young children and families. With Go Vacation, Namco Bandai tried to make something different, but they forgot one main ingredient in the recipe: the fun.

Shinobi is the modern version of an old classic. This action platform grants to every player a crazy difficulty level and the basic gameplay is quite good to play against the leaderboard. If you're looking for a hard challenge, this could be a good choice for you.

With just a few changes from the WiiWare game, it's impossible to recommend Pokémon Rumble Blast at this much-higher price. Better to leave it on the shelf and to get back to Black and White editions.

Trine 2 is a perfect sequel: better, bigger and funnier. Frogwares gives us a new Trine adventure with an enhanced gameplay and a more balanced artistic direction. If only longevity would have been longer...

Same formula, another clever and engaging story… but why the European version of the game doesn't have the London Life extra-RPG?

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.

Another year, another LEGO game and another success… but after that, please Traveller's Tales, give us something a little different.

Stunning graphics, one of the most addictive gameplay available in the App Store and hours and hours of fun. Infinity Blade II is the best sequel possible we could have wished, frantic and ruthless like no others. Once again, Chair and Unreal Engine accomplished the job.

Kirby's Adventure Wii is an average platform game, miles away from the greatness of games like Donkey Kong Country and the Rayman Origins.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact is a new way to play a Dynasty Warriors game. The boring gameplay, a trademark in the Tecmo Koei's franchise, is the main issue o this tie-in, but if you really do like Naruto you could have a decent amount of enjoyment with this PSP game.

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

Although fans may be happy with the contents offered by Tekken Hybrid, an HD remake and an awful CG movie surely won't be enough for the majority of PS3 owners.

WWE '12 is the game of the big changes. Yuke's and THQ are doing a good job trying to innovate the franchise, working hard on the gameplay side. The Road to WrestleMania is quite disappointing, but the new combat system works pretty well. Next year everything will be better, but meanwhile you can enjoy this brand new wrestling game.

If only Kung-Fu High Impact offered a more balanced and complex challenge, and a more relevant longevity, we'd be probably talking about one of the more interesting and funny action games ever released for Kinect.

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.

If Jurassic Park were a film, it could have been a very good one. Unfortunately it's a videogame, where interaction is paramount.

Bloodbath Arena is very similar to Gears of War's Horde Mode, with zombie instead of Locusts. If you're a fan of the original game… you can't miss it.

Thanks to its fresh and engaging gameplay mechanics, Kirby: Mass Attack proves to be a well crafted platform that will surely appeal to the majority of Nintendo DS owners.

Thanks to its amazing world of possibilities, deep gameplay mechanics and engaging progression, Anno 2070 proves to be a top class sim-RTS destined to entertain any fan of the genre for a very long time.

Little more than a DLC of the 2011 edition, Cities XL 2012 is a good SimCity game, even if perhaps it's too simple to be a real contest.

Many gamers will be let down by the game's high difficulty level, but if you dare to test your tactical skills Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten will keep you busy for a very long time.

Although EA hasn't surely revolutionized the game's core concept, The Sims 3: Pets proves to be an engaging and fun expansion that will surely entertain any fan of the franchise.
