Pokemon series had begun to be somehow tired, lacking serious innovations. To change the Pokemon names and renew their styles is not the way refresh the formula.

Creative Assembly delivers another solid RTS, deep and stratified, full of visual beauty and dense as no other.

The core simulation is almost perfect, but the shortage of game modes is a serious flaw.

de Blob 2 fails in delivering a solid gameplay experience, due to its plain level design, and gets tedious in the long run. More an experience than a game, but that's not necessarily a good thing.

Dragon Age 2 is slightly different from Dragon Age: Origins. The gameplay structure presents lots of simplifications that fits the game better on consoles, and the storytelling (dark, mature and deep as always) is more focused on the main character and less dispersive. In the end, in a complete different way, the game is as good as the prequel, but aimed at a different kind of gamer.

8 year after the first release, Beyond Good & Evil remains one of the best action games of this decade. A well balanced gameplay, deep and fascinating storytelling and an impressive art desing gave to this on-demand content the status of "must have".

Get Tannen is the classic second episode of sagas made in Telltale. Compared to its predecessor, both the plot and the gameplay suffer a slight deterioration. Fortunately the situation is less serious than one might expect: this second episode is still funny enough to push you to complete it.

Echochrome 2 follows the path already traced by the prequel. In fact, the result is very similar: a puzzle game supported by a brilliant idea, but with some problems concerning to level design.

The framerate problems shatter and destroy the game's whole structure. Its unbereable slowness hampers the gameplay and ruins the typical Harvest Moon experience. Animal Parade could have been among the best in the series: with those problems, it's one of the worst.

Angry Birds, also in the Minis version, is a great puzzle game. Unfortunately some problems with the graphics engine, and its high price compared to the version for iPhone, make the best edition for Apple platforms. However, the title product by Chillingo is back again with a good and enjoyable porting.

Bulletstorm is frantic and wild. Its gruesome story mode comes with the Online Co-Op (anarchy). It may be not as polished as other first-person shooters, but for sure it is original and thrilling.

Magic The Gathering: Tactics is a strong strategy game in its gameplay base mechanics but heavily flawed by rushed decisions, bugs and poor prgramming.

Haunted House is a good title for children. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit too repetitive, but played in co-op the game becomes sufficiently challenging to come to the end credits.

Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger vs Darkdeath Evilman is another confirmation of the great talent of NIS. It is one of those titles that will never appear on a cover of a magazine, but it will remain in the hearts of many gamers.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! is a worthy farewell of this saga to the DS. Though not proposing new features, this new chapter is highly recommended to all lovers of puzzle game and fans of Super Mario.

Take your Nintendo DSi, close your eyes and try to desire a platformer that takes you back in time, in years when the software house developed platformer based on the exploration of a world full of locked elements. Then open your eyes: with Shantae's Revenge Risky your wish has come true.

Marvel VS Capcom 3 comes with a lot of fun and fine game mechanichs that gives to expert players the opportunity to chain unbelivable combinations.

The fun delivered by FlingSmash lasts only for a few minutes. It's a poor product, lacking in a solid and satisfying gameplay and getting tedious on the long run. But as a bundle with Wiimote Plus, it has some meaning.

Breach isn't a complete disaster. Despite many flaws and limits, many of them linked to the netcode, it reaches a narrow sufficiency thanks to a good character growth system and a gameplay that does not forget the standards of this genre.

Time Machine: Rogue Pilot is a good clone of Bejeweled. If the genre has not yet bored you, the title of Lesta Studio might be for you.

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 is a good game, able to entertain. Unfortunately it can't hold a candle to its predecessor because of some lacks in the control system and a clumsy level design.

Years of training, and Mario still hasn't succeded in getting fit. But, guess what, this time he hasn't struggled at all.

Killzone 3 stands above its precursor thanks to an interesting plot, a peaced progression, and a varied Single Player Campaign. Multiplayer is still one of the best on Ps3.

Eat Them! shows how Rampage worked only in the context of the penny arcade and in his time. The title of FluffyLogic fun and entertaining, but the fun turns out to be ephemeral and not permanent.

Shift Extended is a fascinating game and definitely fun. Unfortunately, it doesn't reach excellence because of some defect attributable to the level design.

Lord Of Arcana is a title that betrays its own philosophy. The fun is directly proportional to the PSP and copies of the game available. Buy it only if you have friends to play whit it, and if you love games like Monster Hunter.

Monday Night Combat is a title to have if you love FPS in third person dedicated to multiplayer. There are some defects, such as the paucity of maps, but this is a game that knows how to enjoy immensely.

Spare Parts could have been better. Nevertheless, the title produced by EA is fun and never frustrating. Don't expect a game that will leave an indelible mark in your memory, but, for some carefree hours of play, it's very good.
