Naval War: Artic Circle could have been a good title but it lacks in so many aspects gameplay-wise that in the end it is not very satisfying for the RTS fan. The missions are too simple and the multiplayer should be enhanced, with more maps and scenarios. On top of this, a poor technical realization.

This second chapter of the Risen brand is an imperfect but charming RPG, with stunning environments and an engrossing story. An epic sea adventure we haven't seen in years!

Five cars and three tracks. It makes no sense to buy now Ridge Racer for PS Life. The advice is to wait for the DLC and thought to its purchase.

One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP is hardly recommendable even to the manga's fans, suffering from tedious gameplay and a bad conversion from the Wii instalments.
