Improved compared to the previous editions, Pro Cycling Manager 2012 is a good simulation that has some problems in the multiplayer because of Cyanide's lucrative buy to win system.

The fact is that the final impression is still pleasant, but absolutely not up to the bombastic 2013 debut.

In case you are solitary fighter, you will probably immediately look elsewhere looking for a deeper and less rowdy challenge.

Order Up is not an epilogue for the first season of Minecraft Story Mode: is more a beginning for the second one (and in fact three more episode have been announced). The central part of the adventure is quite ordinary, but the new Sky City is a great location and the return of old characters works well in the funny script.

Those looking for a mobile production that could rival From Software's work would do well to look elsewhere. Those who know how to settle for a game "small" in terms of gameplay as full of content could give him an opportunity.

Touch My Katamari is based upon the core episodes of the series and works well to take 100% bonus from the PS Vita features, giving players tons of fun.

SOCOM is nothing different from the series. The game has tactical aspects that can "make the day" of the hardcore gamer, single and multiplayer (thanks to the brand new Bomb Squad mode). Some AI problems and poor graphics prevent the game for being a must buy.

The essence of Final Fantasy VIII is all there is, and every element of the game is there in its place like two decades ago, but the aspect with which it presents itself highlights the little care dedicated to the graphics sector.

The formula is the same of the first chapter, so the title is highly enjoyable and deep. A homage to the 90's classics with a strong personality.

In spite of a very classical structure and a certain underlying redundancy, in short, we perceive that Marvel Powers United VR has been realized with passion and maximum respect for the original works.

Call of the Sea is an interesting but flawed experiment, denoting some (legitimate) error of inexperience. In general, the feeling is that of an adventure written in a pleasant and moderately enjoyable way to play, without ever reaching that status of a little gem to be discovered that in the past months had accompanied the arrival of the debut title. of Out of the Blue from Madrid. A non-trivial story that leaves good feelings for the future of the Spanish studio, to be enjoyed without too many pretensions towards a rather inspired ending.

An exquisitely old-fashioned adventure, modest in ambitions and dignified in realization.

It's the equivalent of a quality short novel: brief but intense, it will leave something behind. It's also a very passive experience, so don't dive in if you're looking for adventures: you won't find anything of sorts. But it's nonetheless a unique experience in a way, something you've never experienced before.

Keeper offers a short journey, and that in itself is certainly not a flaw. The real issue lies in the way the adventure's time has been managed, with the first half containing its most visually and gameplay-wise brilliance. Unfortunately, just when it decides to mix things up, Double Fine's work suffers a dip in quality that's hard to ignore. Even if it's followed by a more successful and genuinely refreshing final section, it still makes a significant impact on a four-hour experience. If you're looking for a relaxing game that's not short on inexplicable creatures and fascinating scenarios—and this is even more true if you have a young player to keep you company—then give Keeper a chance. Those looking to experience Double Fine's "next big thing" would be wise to wait for future updates from Schafer and his team.

Just the indomitable creativity of the development team, which also shines on the aesthetic side, makes High on Life a production worthy of the attention of the public, especially of that large audience of players who recognize Rick and Morty as one of the most brilliant animated series of the last years.

The Inner World is a classic point and click adventure with two-dimensional graphic. With some interesting theme and a technical achievement above the average, The Inner World missing a couple of goals that would been able to transform the graphic adventure from a simple game for enthusiasts, to a must-have title.

Definitely better than Little Big Planet Karting, the game is nice arcade racing with a cool track design and an interesting career mode.

To date, we recommend purchasing Payday 2 only if you have a group of friends to play with, perhaps taking advantage of the local Nintendo wireless hybrid.

Of the three parts of Secrets of The Maw, La Residenza is without a doubt the most interesting and successful.

The work done for this year edition is commendable, in terms of contents and from a technical standpoint. The game, however, remains what it has always been: a strict simulator, that requires dedication and hard work.

Nevertheless, the curious gameplay mechanics offered by the package make it an essential purchase for any anime enthusiast and RPG of Japanese invoice.

You can see it was born on mobile platforms, but it's still and interesting and sometimes compelling experience.

Steelrising could and should have been Spiders' test of maturity, but unfortunately the French studio was unable to hit the target even on this round. Although the developer has come up with some appreciable and in some cases brilliant ideas, it is their realization that is not convincing in the least, as different mechanics upset the system and create an annoying imbalance between the balance of the various categories of weapons. If we add to this the usual woody animations that the Spiders action RPG have in common, the final result is an imperfect and incomplete product in several respects. On the flip side, Steelrising enjoys a whimsical and inspired narrative framework, that in the twenty hours needed to reach the end credits easily captures the attention and above all the curiosity of the player.

Children of Arkham begins with a couple of great scenes and an interesting plot twist. Unfortunately the central part of the episode doesn't work that well. The QTE-Based fights are dull, and the investigative component which had been one of the distinctive trait of the first episode is completely missing.

A classic approach to the Online FPS genre with the blessing (?) of 256 people connected to the server. Massive, but not so incisive.

Even if the action overwhelms the tactic, Fistful of Cake is a great start for the first portable title of the brand.

If you are already in love with the rowdy license of Hiro Mashima, FAIRY TAIL will be able to enchant you with its irresistible irony; otherwise, the absence of important narrative pieces could preclude the total understanding of the story and favor a premature abandonment by the player.

Brawlout, especially in local multiplayer, is immediate and fun to play.
