After two years to forget, Madden NFL seems to have embarked on the road to redemption, with a playable homage to the great John Madden. The new additions to the gameplay and the advances made by the AI, give the series a new dimension, as well as the Franchise mode that has finally been fixed. There are several areas to fix, however, and our feeling is that EA Tiburon has not yet managed to really exploit the power of the next-gen.

The package brings in some twenty new stages.

God of War: Sons of Sparta is a solid Metroidvania, but it doesn't do anything more or less than many other exponents of the genre. It works, it entertains, and it flows smoothly, but it rarely surprises. The story of Kratos's adolescence and his relationship with Deimos are the heart of the experience, offering a more intimate look at a character we're used to seeing in a completely different light. The idea works, but it's held together by a rather conservative gameplay structure, with redundant combat, a lackluster level design, and an art direction that favors nostalgic homage over originality. The result is an enjoyable but rather standard prequel, closer to a narrative interlude than a fundamental piece of the saga. Kratos fans will still find something to interest them, as will those looking for an accessible Metroidvania without too many rough edges. Those looking for a chapter that will leave their mark will, however, feel like an opportunity only partially exploited.

It will put even shooter veterans to the test, and it has personality. It's a shame for the lack of alternative modes.

Short but intense, the journey through Ariandel lands will entice longtime fans. Too bad for the very short duration of this (mis)adventure, that goes off in a few hours, voraciously consumed by those who have reached the endgame.

Taken as a whole, it is a more than appreciable work if you love Jack the Ripper-style splatter tales.

It is a nice addition to the Stadia catalog, as well as a nice way to pay homage to an unforgettable video game.

It is good not to expect from Moving Out more than what it can offer: a light pastime, with an adequate amount of content for the size of a modest production.

Good content for an MMORPG that continues to stay in good shape.

Quotation forthcoming.

PES 2011 for PSP is nothing more than another PES for the PSP. The gameplay is virtually unchanged, as the graphics engine. Recommended for those who, for the first time, wants to play a PES on their PSP. For the others, this chapter is in danger of being an unnecessary purchase for all those who still have fun with the edition of last year.

In short, it is a good addition able to offer fans a few hours of frenetic fun, while failing to concretely raise the standards of a not exactly exciting post-launch path.

More long-lived, rich and experimental than the other episodes, The Devil in Me concludes the first season in a somewhat discontinuous way. What on the one hand adds to the playful formula, on the other subtracts it in terms of narrative rhythm. Thanks to the usual multiplayer modes, and the possibility of collecting special coins along the hotel to unlock some extras in the main menu, the last piece of the tetralogy is the most dense but also the most bulimic: it always remains disturbing and refined on the side of the atmosphere, however, takes a step backwards in terms of cohesion between its parts. For now, the curtain falls on the Supermassive anthology, with a fairly positive overall balance, if only for the team's ability to have shown us, from time to time, the many shades of horror.

Even with a far too permissive gameplay and shooting mechanic structure Ghost Recon Online is able to satisfy players looking for a solid Free2Play experience, raising the overall level of digital games.

Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a funny point & click adventure, inspired by LucasArts’ masterpieces: a short, but adorable, pastime during rainy afternoon.

Tryst is a good RTS developed by BlueGiant Interactive. It's able to entertain, especially in multiplayer mode, and is recommended to all RTS players who want a dynamic title.

The HD conversion has little more to offer to old players and new fans.

Nexus is a title designed for the die-hard fans, that will also keep thinking that Ratchet & Clank would have deserved a better farewell at the end of this generation.

Blade & Glory is a shameless reproduction of Infinity Blade set in an indefinite arena. It has really good graphic, many items to collect and the proven logic of his elder brother. But if you want to see some blood that it's not yours, you have to pay despite of the apparent free nature of the game.

The HD remaster isn't perfect, apart from a general overhaul, but the game itself still holds on it merits.

It perfectly suits the "portable philosophy" and entertains thanks to its variety. Unfortunately, the main adventure is too short.

The work done by the development studio is not sluggish or lazy, but it proves to be quite patchy and not very refined, therefore unable to aspire to higher peaks. If you loved the last episode, even with all its flaws, you still give your direct sequel a chance: you'll find yourself wandering in a world where it might be worth tasting the taste of iron and death.

Sports Bar VR needs a couple of important patches and some polishing here and there, but what it already offers is unique; even unforgettable, if you are lucky enough to find the right company in its virtual environment.

Legendary Heroes take the task to port to iOS the famous DotA. It does a good job, but then it forgots the main feature: on-line. This flaw is something that we cannot forgive, so we have just an offline version of the heroes' RTS.

The presentation might not be elegant, and the AI might cheat a little sometimes, but, if played with friends and family, the classic Trivial experience is reproduced in a convincing way.

The Gunk would have deserved a little more structure and background vision: perhaps a better elaborated and refined gameplay, a dose of extra variety and last but not least a more incisive writing - because beyond the wonderful lyricism of the column sonorous it is complicated to become seriously passionate about the events narrated. Too bad, because with a different attention the outcome of this extraterrestrial outing would have proved much more memorable.

After a moderately captivating departure, The Legacy of the First Lama continues at a crawl, with no upsurge in rhythm and inspiration.
