A great edition for a great game. Dead Nation is still one of the most interesting scrolling shooter available on the market, and the new broadcast + game mode is pure genius.

After few experiments with Wii Sports Club and Wii Karaoke U, Nintendo understands how free-to-play should be done, and publish a good multiplayer game with his own peculiar pace. Unfortunately there are too few maps and options.

This should be a grindhouse version of Bomberman, but the game is poor, tantalized by netcode and matchmaking problems, and in the end a very discouraging arcade.

PopCap Games reinvents its most famous brand, and turn it in a funny multiplayer shooter, with both cooperative and competitive game modes. It is not revolutionary, but it's still solid and genuinely entertaining.

Jeff Minter is developing the same game since the 1981. This time, on PsVita, he delivers a rock solid "tube shooter".

Horizon has some good ideas, but no identity at all. Key features of the genre are missing, and the experience is poor and incomplete.

Dustforce is a unusual and brilliant scrolling videogame, starring a task force of powerful janitors. With broom and vacuum cleaner, we will sweep the game levels by all sorts of garbage. Cleaning has never been so fun.

Seriously?

Titanfall offers unique gameplay within a genre, namely online shooters, that really needed something new. It's fast-paced but not schizophrenic, and many of its subtleties will require time and practice to come out in the open. On the other hand, this noteworthy step forward in gameplay depth should've been supported by a wider offering in terms of game modes, an aspect in which the game falls surprisingly short.

It's far from flawless, but The Stick Of Truth is indeed one of the best tie-ins ever. Great screenplay from Parker and Stone and a surprising amount of care in game design from Obsidian make this an experience that, while might not offering a challenge, surely achieves its primary goal. Makes you laugh, and entertains for all of its considerable duration.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 isn't a complete disappointment, yet it makes very clear how difficult it is to accomplish a good sequel, especially when you need to please both the hardcore fans and the masses. The switch from fixed camera angles to freeview adds some hiccups in the game mechanics, while stealth, platforming and unimaginative boss fights often spoil the fun. There must be a great sequel hidden down there, but it's seldom seen during the 10+ hour of hack'n'slashing.

Eidos Montreal's take on Garret and the City comes as a surprise when you consider the hardcore stealth gameplay. On the other hand, newcomers and casual players also can have their fun, granted by the very well-thought difficulty system. The storytelling is quite disappointing, and story missions are definitely too linear in many aspects, but secondary quests and thieving in general are well developed and solid, making this game an interesting choice for all the stealth fans out there, despite its shortcomings.

An awesome "metroidvania" experience, long and compelling, focused on a fast paced action.

Another amazing platform for WiiU. It may not have the same elegance of the last Super Mario, but it's creative, colorful and extremely various.

This disappointing second DLC confirms the trend, that of utter indolence from the developers. There's not much new, save a couple of weapons and a new main character, and no particular reasons whatsoever to bother with this DLC unless you're a total fan of the original game.

If you're really interested in the saga, you'll probably want to give this a try, but, on the other hand, gameplay and graphics haven't received any upgrade at all. If you've already played Inazuma Eleven 3, there are practically no reasons to be interested in this edition.

It owes much to Monster Hunter, but it still has its own way of delivering interesting content. Also, the lasting appeal is fair, if you can accept some repetitive mission.

As its main character, it tries to hide its real nature, but sooner or later you'll grasp it anyway. It's not for the impatient gamer, and some design choices ultimately spoil the fun.

A Half life 2 mod mainly founded on teamwork and realism, and in cooperative playing you'll probably find its best qualities.

It's a great chance for all the fans out there to relive history of western RPG. Enhanced graphics and interface make this a great remaster of an immortal classic.

Rough around the edges would be an understatement. Sadly, it's just hard to find a reason why you should play Rekoil, given the abundance of choices in its genre.

It's been developed for mobile platforms, and you'll notice that through and through. on other platforms, it has a very poor lasting appeal, and the fun won't last long enough.

Inspired to dungeon crawler classics, it struggles to find its own identity. The entry price is really cheap, so, if you like the genre, you'll probably want to try it for yourself, and chances are high that you find some good in it.

The narrative is incredibly dense and spectacularly written. There's no big bang finale here, but what's really important here is the experience, and what will be left of it when credits roll. Chances are, a lot to think about.

It's same old Fable, and this is a good chance to try it if you've missed the original (and the expansion). Sadly, this remaster shows a lot of graphical hiccups, and a less than good frame rate, despite its high pricing.

It's pure horror, as if you were in an IMAX cinema. It will surround you, and terrify you, especially in the very well crafted first hours. Then it gets a bit repetitive, but it's still an adventure you won't easily forget.

The first chapter fascinated the public with the great characters and a well crafted cliffhanger. A shame that this second part doesn't seem able to show the same qualities, to shrinked between the linearity and the absence of new fascinating characters.

Better try before buy. It's a classic platform, but split in two, between a too easy beginning and a hardcore second half.
