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.
