Without ever excelling or innovating in any element of his design, Gato Roboto proves to be a cohesive and immediate experience.

An arcade racing with an incredible number of game modes.

Despite the fragmented narrative, the end result is still discreet, in line with the average of the series. Excluding some inevitable flaws, we continue to consider King's Quest one of the most successful episodic series of recent times.

A nice porting for this peculiar game, full of strategy and visually entertaining.

Vita is the perfect platform for Nihilumbra, but the gameplay is still to unbalanced to completely satisfy.

The more than satisfactory combat system therefore turns out to be diluted within a vision that has preferred to put the narrated phase at the center of the work, too often weakening the feeling of enthusiasm and grit returned by the excellent clashes.

It's an interesting managerial game, but it doesn't have the same appeal as the old classic Rollecoaster Tycoon. At the same time, the chance to create and share is welcome, and it adds something new to the formula.

MXGP 2 desperately needs a new graphic engine. It's a solid motocross experience but there aren't many improvements from the previous chapter.

Offworld Trading Company is a futuristic simulation of what would be the economy on Mars: gathering resources, upgrading extraction posts, keeping up with the price fluctuations. Funny, but still complex and demanding at the same time.

An original tower defense, able to think out of the box and kick the player off balance.

Fist of the North Star is a bit of a missed opportunity: a great combat system and an abidance of content are stunted by a weak storyline and by sometimes unsatisfactory sub quests.

With less innovation that promised Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is a game only for Naruto fans.

It is sometimes even able to shine with its own light, succeeding in refreshing the sensations generated by a genre that in recent years has known too many emulsions and a few really original works.

You can complete Homefront Campaign in less than 4 hours. And the multiplayer is miles away form the CoD and Battlefield excellence.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary is a great re-release marred by the inexplicable absence of the original soundtrack. Rayman is a true classic that, despite its extreme difficulty, remains a very fun and surprisingly beautiful title, and this new edition offers almost all of its versions, well emulated with good image filters, multiple accessibility options, and a selection of extras with exceptional documentary and historical value. But all this good work, without something as important and fundamental as Rémi Gazel's score to complete the experience, ultimately falls flat and greatly diminishes its overall value.

It's a short but interesting experience: it has personality, and that really makes it shine in some aspects.

Quotation forthcoming.

A classic platform game, with a great number of levels and a (complex) editor that allows player to create more stages.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate is an average action game, far from the feeling of its predecessor.

Shadowrun Returns is a great role-playing game, which retrieves the features of the original representing them in a perfect title for fans.

Impressive for the self-proclaimed otaku that dreams about Akihabara and its preposterous shops, but redundant for many other players.

NBA Jam in its incarnation for the Nintendo Wii is a good arcade game. Unfortunately, the lack of online game and a certain flatness of gameplay make NBA Jam only a good game and not a masterpiece of the genre.

The Contra Anniversary Collection is a pleasant history lesson of the Run and Gun.

Two new locations and some minor tweaks doesn't add much to the core experience.

In this arcade iteration of the brand, Backbreaker works better than in the previous retail version. Reinventing itself (starting from some peculiar game modes) the title can be a good way to cheer up this poor gaming summer.

It's a game for pure fans of the brand, who will enjoy the genre hybridisation. Everyone else will have a very hard time getting up to speed with the story and gameplay.

Omertà is a good gangster game that mixes well the economic management with tactical turn based combat system. If only it could be more challenging and technically better.

Quotation forthcoming.
