This new incarnation of The Sims has a simplier gameplay but a more interesting setting and tasks to achieve. A good diversion overall.

Xenoblade has found its right place in videogames' history. From now on, there will be a "before" and "after" Xenoblade, when talking about Japanese RPGs. It will surely find a way into your heart, because a true Masterpiece always know the way to reach it.

Resistance is a solid PS3 Exclusive. The plot is muddled and messy, but the old-school gameplay and the reintroduction of the weapon wheel save the day. The COD-Like multiplayer is, though derivative, rewarding and funny.

Despite some issues Dead Island is a good game that mixes, in a fresh way, lots of different styles (like survival horror, action, first person gaming...). Techland's production may not be a masterpiece, but, thaks to co-op and quest variety in single player, is one of the funniest experiences in this gen.

Bodycount is a mix of uncompleted ideas, good ones and bad ones. The linearity of the campaign and the poor ideas for the multiplayer make the Codemasters production annoying and frustrating.

Against all previsions Driver: San Francisco, with its Shift mechanic, works great. Lots of different tasks and a 70's hollywood style of screenplay made the Ubisoft production a solid hit and a good revamp for the brand.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution does not distance itself from the charming ambiguity of the whole series. The attention to detail of a society plagued by the man-machine moral conflict and the balanced combination of Action-RPG and FPS components can offer a truly deep gameplay.

Quotation forthcoming.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 is the most successful episode of the saga. Despite the many flaws of the combat system the game is able to amuse and entertain.

Old World Blues is unequivocally the most successful New Vegas's DLC. Thanks to an irreverent storyline and a gameplay enriched by an excellent level design, this expansion is highly recommended to anyone who still wanders the desolate lands of the Mojave.

From Dust is one of the best gaming experiences of the entire year.

Call of Juarez: The Cartel is a poor videogame. Gameplay lacks in term of precision and variety; graphics is distant from the top of this gen.

Runespell is an interesting weird mix of a card-game. Based on the points from Poker and Yahtzee to unleash special cards and attacks, the game offers a fun alternative to the other CCG around. Although, the absence of an online multiplayer PvP is a real downer.

While A New Beginning shines in the inspired art-style, the clever puzzles and the interesting story, it fails without hope in the crackling and weird sound, the lack of support for widescreen and the persistent crash-bugs that leads to utter frustration.

Naruto Shippuden 3D – The New Era is a complete disaster. Boring, tedious, repetitive, it's one of the worst Nintendo 3DS titles.

Despite the shallow graphics, the new Supreme Ruler is a solid and incredibly depth strategy game that will appeal to every fan. On the other hand the new players will be overwhelmed by its complexity due to the complete lack of a tutorial.

The new F3AR shines in its PC incarnation, despite its derivative CoD approach that smoothened its horror atmosphere. While not perfect, the multiplayer is a blast and a certain plus to the production that will be definitely enjoyable by every player.

Treasure offers another Xbox Live Arcade remake of one of its former glory, after Ikaruga and waiting Radiant Silvergun. Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury adds some interesting options such as co-op, revise the control system experiencing Geometry Wars double-stick and enhances the level editor. On balance, however, this remake proves difficult for novices with its rather steep difficulty curve, while those who have already fleeced on Dreamcast or Nintendo DS will hardly muster the impetus necessary for another take.

Trainz Simulator 12 is dedicated to fans of model railways. More attention in the development phase would have avoided some technical problems that prevent the title from being a product for everyone. However, it can give suggestive moments, it might surprise you.

Bastion is unequivocally a true masterpiece. Thanks to fascinating storyline, solid gameplay and a unique visual style, it's highly recommended to any gamer.

Revenge of the Titans is one of the most complex Tower Defense in recent years, hidden under a dated but still enjoyable technical plant. Thanks to its freedom of action and deep gameplay this is a must-have for the fans.

New characters and new enchantments aren't enough to save the second part of this sleazy tie in.

A strange mix between Wolverine and Arkham Asylum, SuperSoldier flaws are a dull level design, a simple AI, a creepy graphics engine. Too bad, because the global structure is somehow solid.

Cubic Ninja could have been a nice platform, but the control system lacks precision and level design is too straightforward.

Cars 2 is a simple but funny arcade racing, full of game modes and blessed by an interesting track design.

Dull as one of worst Dynasty Warriors, ugly to see, repetitious and disheartening. There's plenty of better games to play co-op, so don't let the standard variation of horde game mode lure you.

OUTATIME is definitely the best episode of Back to the Future. Thanks to a very successful storyline, the game gains in quality and fun.

An accustoming gameplay, good graphics and an interesting story deliver a strong RPG system overall with a wide selection of skills, despite some minor flaws.
