A real failure on every front. It should be avoided as you would prevent participation in a cursed crusade.

A simple Scrolling Shooter, taking us back directly to the 80's.

But it's the number and the characterization of villains and personalities that stand as an incredible surplus value.

A must for fans of pure RTS. Sengoku does not allow compromise, no chance for error, only patience, strategy and application.

Sometimes the difficulty can be frustrating, instead of stimulating, challenging and rewarding. Dark Souls remains one of the greatest examples of dark fantasy in this generation.

A strange sensorial experience: synaesthetic, charming, fascinating. More than a simple scrolling shooter, Child of Eden is the perfect mix of light and sound.

Star Fox 64 3D is the best version of the title we've seen on Nintendo 64. Its fast paced action and a perfectly balanced rhythm provide an experience which today is as good as it was years ago, not having suffered at all from the action of time.

Driver: San Francisco fails in every aspects. Bad graphics and a terrible lack of variety sink its gameplay, making of it a title that can't be recommended.

PES 2012 is a step further into the soccer simulation but not so far away from last year. In particular poor animation and goalkeepers AI ruins the entire experience.

Quotation forthcoming.

Despite being one of the best chapters of the series, this edition of Code Veronica has almost no improvements in visual aspect. Capcom delivers another bad remake for a high price.

It is impossible to resist Trackmania 2. Simply put: Nadeo has developed one of the best PC games of recent years.

Rise of Nightmares is gross, linear, ugly. Kinect does a good job in recognising movements of the videoplayer, but the control scheme is simply ludicrous and not functional.

The brilliant rock-rolling simulator from ACE is an ironic blast and an artistic achievement of the indie scene. Despite its poor balancing and short campaign, rolling boulders to smash known historical characters is a ton of fun.

F1 2011 improves the results of past year edition and delivers a solid career and a perfect driving system. Unfortunately, some issues regarding the graphics engine and AI lower the score.

Gears of War 3 is the perfect conclusion of an incredible saga.

Plus, you can find an enormous amount of cooperative and competitive options out of the box.

Renegade 3D driver is not a bad game. Simply it is a title that has several flaws, worsened by the absolute insipid gameplay.

An interesting mix between TPS and Hack'n'Slash. Unfortunately, level design is too linear, resulting in a driven and boring progression.

Far far away from the Ultimate Ninja Storm quality standards. Japan Studio production lacks in variety, combat system functionality and grapics. In other words a complete delusion.
