Puppies that never grow, don't get dirty and are never hungry or thirsty. If only real things were that easy.

The best 1200 Microsoft Points you can invest right now. Shank plays on the same league as Limbo, Trials HD or Braid: it's short and simple, but fun and refreshing.

The fear of not being long enough is what makes the developer introduce an invasive mechanic that ends up severely affecting the pace.

Bigger, badder, better. WWE 12 is the game that depicts best this brutal sport, although it still has some flaws in its control that should be polished next year.

A nice fighting game in the vein of the Dynasty Warriors saga, Pirate Warriors 2 is great for fans of the manga, but also has something else to appeal to the rest of us.

Not exactly brilliant, but The Amazing Spider-man is a good game and a nice tie-in of the blockbuster movie.

Puppies that never grow, don't get dirty and are never hungry or thirsty. If only real things were that easy.

Even with bugs and many things that should have been polished, Techland's latest effort is quite fun and not just another typical zombie game.

The essence of the franchise is always present, and TESO, although not as immersive as previous games like Skyrim, is far superior to the one you can find in other MMORPGs. You should have, though, a group of friends playing it, or else the subscription price won't be worth it.

Quotation forthcoming.

Retro City Rampage is far from perfect, but sure is brutally honest.

PS4's first exclusive racing game offers a fresh experience, but doesn't do anything new and has a limited amount of content.

Emergency 4 offers complete freedom to complete its twenty missions from the campaign mode, but they're too slow because of a difficult option tree and the fact that our units are not able to run.

As expected, it's a fun game for children, but the problem is that the formula begins to show its age and the experience is too limited.

Lego Rock Band is a fun game, but clearly inferior to any other game of the franchise.

Don't expect anything revolutionary: In ten years Puzzle Bobble will probably be still the same. But it will also probably be as good as it is now.

Not a bad game, but too short, simple and easy. It serves its purpose as a showcase for the 3DS new features, but it seems that publishing it as a downloadable game was a much better idea.

A surprising effort by EA Sports. In its current state Grand Slam Tennis 2 is clearly behind Top Spin 4, but with interesting ideas, like the Total Racquet Control scheme or the Classic Grand Slams, it promises to become a serious and strong contender if EA believes in its product and keeps polishing it.

A delightful experiment from Double Fine.

It can be incredibly exciting, but also quite boring. We like it because it's brave, but even if it tries to Asura's Wrath is not exactly what we'd call a videogame.

This generation's cult classic, now available for the PS3. Don't miss it.

Bionic Commando is a bag of mixed sensations. It's a fun game with some clever moments, but it's also one with an annoying lack of liberty, a deficient AI and controls that no always respond as well as they should.

This shows why Volition is a great studio capable of making great games. Armageddon will not make history, but it will keep you entertained for many hours.

Same city, same abilities, same combat system and same graphics. Crackdown 2 is an unsurprising sequel that loses the spark of the first game.

As an arcade game, Virtua Tennis 4 is great and has no major flaws. It's just a shame that Top Spin 4 is better in almost everything, making SEGA's effort almost incidental.

If you are looking for a good strategy game, you've found it. And if you are looking for a good WW2 game, you've found it too.

It's the perfect racing game for short plays and direct fun when friends came over to your house.

Fans of the Warhammer universe will love its setting and plot, and the way it plays, although not perfect, is brave and original.

Its five minigames are designed to be played in short and spontaneous times, with family and friends. This is a great alternative to the typical board games on a Sunday evening.

Even better than the 360/PS3 game. A must buy for fans of God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Upgrading the visuals to high definition is not enough to conceal its origins as a portable game, nor to hide the problems the original game had.

Still fun and intense, but there's no justification for the frequent slowdowns.

This is the worst HD remastered collection published until now. It's a shame, as a great franchise like Silent Hill deserved much better than this poor effort.

Impressive on a technical level, but with a script with a lot of room for improvement. Maybe Beyond needed to be more a game and less a movie... or maybe just a better movie.

Great platformer with a nice nostalgia factor, but too short given its high price.

The amount of content that Level-5 offers in this game is enormous and can last you for months.

A correct game, but without anything to make it stand out in this genre.

The campaign's history is great, but it's far too short. Multiplayer makes up for that, offering interesting ideas that will keep us busy for a long time.

Project X Zone reunites characters from Sega, Capcom and Namco in a tactical RPG that stands out for its simplicity and sense of humor.

The Sims 4 has lost some appeal as a total life simulator, but on the other hand it has won much as a role playing game.

Dead Money is a good DLC that expands the New Vegas experience. It has great dialogs and a great script, but its difficulty is completely unbalanced.

Doesn't live up the hype. It has licensed cars, good ideas and beautiful scenarios, but the game just fails compared to other options in this genre.

It could have been better, but as a simulator it's quite good. It may be too difficult for many people, but those willing to accept its realism will find a game that doesn't often come out on consoles.

Seriously, Nintendo... the same exact game as in 1993? Mario deserved much more for his anniversary.

A worse game than Fight Night Champion, especially because of its lackluster campaign mode. Matches are fast and aggressive, but also quite technical.

It can be considered Guitar Hero's little brother when compared to other versions, but the series' spirit is intact in this release.

As its designer says, Invizimals is about bringing back your inner child spirit. And the game clearly has that special touch, that we could define as 'magic'.

One of those typical Nintendo games that won't be remembered for being innovative, but for using a proven formula where fun is the only priority.

Murasaki Baby seems more like a lost opportunity than a success due to an uninspired control scheme and gameplay mechanics that are too simple.

Fans of Quentin Tarantino will find WET to be the most similar videogame to the director's universe.

This is a product designed for a very distinct type of player. Those who like cycling and sports management will enjoy it, but those not interested on this sport won't find enough reasons to play it.

The Conduit can offer a short time of fun to fans of the genre, but the effect won't really last much.

Razor's Edge is a better game than the original Ninja Gaiden 3 and a worthy option for Wii U users.

The obsession to recollect every object in the game causes an extremely slow character progression. It has its audience, but Risen 2 may not be very attractive for those who like story-driven RPGs like the ones published by BioWare.

Battlefield Heroes is fun at the beginning, but lacks the necessary depth to become a reference on this genre.

Very unrealistic physics and too arcade oriented, something that won't appeal most motorcycle fans.

This is just an update of the old game using a modern engine, but also a fun game with an old school flavour.

Order of War is not a revolution in this genre, but at least is a fun game that will appeal to RTS fans and WW2 lovers.

The idea of having a beat 'em up in a theater stage with the audience's reaction acting as the life bar is original, but sadly the execution is not that brilliant.

NFS: Nitro tries to do things well, but fails in almost everything.

It has very good ideas, but somehow the game derailed while on its cursed development.

Although not as good as expected, The Bureau is a different kind of game with personality and some memorable moments.

Better than the first game for the PSP, this is a Phantasy Star that Dreamcast fans will love.

Octodad is not only original in its concept, but also in the way you play it. It just a shame that the later part of the game is not as brilliant as its first levels.

A nice surprise and one of the most ambitious online multiplayer modes we've seen on a 3DS game.

As an arcade game, Virtua Tennis 4 is great and has no major flaws. It's just a shame that Top Spin 4 is better in almost everything, making SEGA's effort almost incidental.

Being extremely short and repetitive, Liberation Maiden asks you too much money for what it really offers.

The basic idea is quite good, but the way it's implemented in the game is highly doubtful.

A nice warm-up for the long awaited return to the depths of Rapture.

Metrico has lots of good intentions, with original visuals and attitude, but its insistence in using all of Vita's control methods ends up being a big problem.

Its visual style might be attractive, but Brink feels rushed with many technical flaws and has almost nothing that can justify its purchase in a genre populated with much better alternatives.

Lackluster maps and a very very crippled single player experience make us think that this sequel could have been much better.

You'll love Rag Doll Kung-Fu: Fists of Plastics graphics (with many things similar to LittleBigPlanet).

Hatoful Boyfriend is not as bold and eccentric as it seemed. It's a typical visual novel, nothing else, nothing more.

Doesn't live up the hype. It has licensed cars, good ideas and beautiful scenarios, but the game just fails compared to other options in this genre.

Just a very simple nostalgic entertainment.

Boom Street would have worked well as a board game, but as a videogame it does never seem to find its place.

Even being extremely short, Deadlight is one of most captivating downloadable experiences available right now on Xbox Live.

It's a good HD remake of a classic Capcom fighting game, but after all these years the genre has evolved and Jojo's controls feel a bit clunky and lack enough special moves.

Not a bad game, but clearly inferior to Dark Souls, as it is lacking most of the stuff that made From Software's work so great.

Exactly the same we've been playing for the last fourteen years. The Metal Slug series really need some innovation as soon as possible.

Lollipop Chainsaw is fun, outrageous and quite original, as you'd expect from Suda 51. The problem is that it's just not that good as a videogame.

Deception IV requires a special sensibility to Japanese games, as it's something original that could be much better and that is still made for a market niche.

Nier is a nice game, but its flawed design and dated graphics prevent an original idea to shine with its full potential.

One the best games published this year for Kinect.

The controls and the visuals are good, but the game's main sin is not giving the user enough incentives to keep playing it.

As a horror game it might not be scary enough, but as dark adventure it is one of the best options available for the Nintendo Wii.

Recommended if you like the genre (there are not many games centered on sniping, anyway), but Sniper Elite 3 is clearly not one of the best shooters out there.

Only for diehard fans of the Castlevania franchise. The rest should try the demo version, as the game is a bit special and will not appeal to many gamers.

More of the same, but not better. Dynasty Warriors Next doesn't boost the strategy elements and insists on its boring and tedious action.

For adults there are much better options, but for kids looking for a fun time it's more than recommended.

Fans of DC comics should really try this game, as it's specially designed for them.

Counterspy promised much more than what it actually delivers. Its visual design is mesmerizing, but gameplay wise it can be disheartening.

It's always fun to race through FUEL's huge scenarios without a particular reason, if you're patient enough.

The game will not only appeal to fans of the original comics and TV series, but also players who loved Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Everything is exactly how you remember it from the classic arcade game. Not bad, but nowadays you can find games that do this much better.

Among the Sleep has a starting point that's quite different of what we usually expect and wants to leave you with a powerful message, but it fails in trying to get there.

Sonic Generations offers exactly what fans want: the classic speed of the Genesis games.
