    As a resurrection of the dungeon crawler genre as it wants to appear, Hunted: The Demon's Forge just is another FPS without any real subtleties. It's a shame since its world is fine and action globally ok, but some camera issues, a poor story, some clunky gameplay and outdated production values clearly undermine the fun.

    Moon Diver is a game from another time. More a sibling of Strider 2, with whom it shares it creator Koichi Yotsui, than a successor, it has the same qualities. New elements like 4 player play and a magic system are thrown un a 90's design, both visually and gameplay-wise. So it's hard for it to feel like a 2011 game; which may very well be both its main strength and weakness. Superplayers will enjoy its skill requirements, others won't find enough in there for them to pay its 15 dollars.

    If you expected something new from this version, too bad. Except that it now runs in 1080p/60fps, Devil May Cry HD Collection is the exact same compilation it was in 2012. Nothing more was added, the first two episodes feel quite old in terms of gameplay compared to a still-fun DMC 3. And that's it: decent for newcomers, except for those who already know them by heart.

    Stepchild of a successful series, Dungeon Hunter 3 fails to justify in-app puchases and seems to be annoying as well.

    By eliminating Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour does not have the same atmosphere as it did before. This makes the game seem incomplete.

    Captain America: Super Soldier shamelessly copies Batman: Arkham Asylum, and even though it doesn't achieve the same excellence, it remains a nice venting beat'em all to dive into before Batman Arkham City arrives in October. You may yet consider waiting a little so as to see its price get a little lower, because it's still not one of those average games that won't leave a mark in history.

    The Caligula Effect: Overdose is a decent RPG, with a lot of social link and an original combat system, but the exploration is poor and the global design is pretty weak and generic.

    Pikachu is back in this sequel, which is clearly designed for kids. But some gameplay issues and a global lack of inspiration in the minigames make it less appealing than it could have been.

    Fort Solis is a thrilling narrative adventure. From start to finish, the tension is there, as is the desire to discover the truth about what's going on in the complex established on Mars. The characters make the journey even more compelling, thanks to the outstanding performances of the actors who play their roles. Unfortunately, the title concludes far too quickly and without ever satisfying our thirst for knowledge. The main plot only skims over the reasons for the tragedy, and it will take a great deal of willpower and dedication to try and understand the mysteries of Fort Solis. A bold choice, but one that's sure to divide.

    Ryse: Son of Rome is a splendid technological showcase, probably the most beautiful Xbox One game with Forza 5. Unfortunately, in terms of gameplay it's far below what we would expect from a beat-them-all in 2013.

    If you like the rail shooters, and own a PS Move, The Shoot is a nice deal. It's still a little expensive for a game you'll finish soon enough, but on the other hand, FPS games with less-than-6-hours solo campaigns are legion... It's also a nice way to start playing with your PS Move.

    NBA Live made progress again, but it is still far behind his fantastic competitor NBA 2K16. See you next year!

    Undoubtedly better than Resident Evil 5, this sixth episode of one of the greatest series will have trouble uniting people around its proposal. That was the case in 2012 on PS3/360, and it's still the same now in 2016 with this PS4/Xbox One edition.

    On the Nintendo Switch, Overkill could have offered the definitive PayDay 2. Some strange design choices and the lack of certain features (no online voice chat) prevent the game from reaching its true potential. And that's too bad as PayDay 2 really could have been a fun game on the Switch. Only people who will get to try the game's local co-op will get a glimpse of what could have been.

    SNK Heroines shows some solid gameplay, but it severely lacks content and provides poor fan service.

    Beyond Eyes is an experience like no other. Beautiful and touching... but damn slow. There is virtually nothing to accomplish. Just walking and listening very repetitive sounds, chapter after chapter. Only the gamers that want to live something very unique will embrace this journey. Others will be quickly bored.

    As expected, Just Sing is The Just Dance of karaoke games. It doesn't care about precision or performance. It's just here to let people have fun on some popular songs, with the possibility to make some quite hilarious videos.

    Coffee Crisis is a nice homage to the traditional beat'em all games of the 90's, with a hilarious storyline. However the mechanics are too classical and redundant, causing the game to lose his interest quite quickly.

    Dead or School is a pretty good game with a strange and artisanal design, but quite deductive after all.

    Despite its average and sometimes problematic gameplay, despite a poor multiplayer mode, Crackdown 3 is a nice open wold game with various activities and a mafia to take down boss after boss.

    Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is a very pleasant surprise for the old fans. When stripped of its IP, it is certainly difficult not to blame him for some weaknesses (a basic level design, poor graphics - still unprecedented for other Hokuto no Ken games), but what many would look as a weakness has also some sort of "curious old-school charm".

    If you were to find the perfect illustration of the downfall of Japanese RPGs, it would probably look like White Knight Chronicles II. Its combat system is wonky, trying to find the pieces of itself and finding only the player's weariness, its story and characters are so tasteless that one might wonder if we're still in 2011, and finally, its shameless recycling of maps and stuff from the first one doesn't do it any good. Only the multiplayer manages to linger on in our thoughts, baring a little esteem, but it's definitely not enough to dive into this tiresome adventure. Please don't fail on ninokuni like you ailed on this one, level-5, please.

    Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games offers a fun gaming experience to young gamers. Aside from a few mini-games that can be quite painful, the game makes smart use of the 3DS' capabilities. That being said, the game will probably be too simplistic for hardcore sports fans.

    Attractive in its original idea, How To Survive could have been more fun if it was not as lopsided: the gameplay is cagey and the game is quite repetitive. There is still a multiplayer mode, and battles are sometimes letting off steam.

    Why did Square Enix bother to work on an online version of Final Fantasy XV ? Comrades just cuts short the open fights of the main game, taking off its charming exploration part. Naked as a baby, the adventure only serves four-players redundant fights, only if you survived the long lobby waiting. Only the hardcore dying fans of the Eos universe should spend some good time playing it.

    Wolcen can be as fun as it is visually stunning. It has some brilliant ideas in terms of character development and feels great once you in a fight. But it also has a lot of technical and balancing issues that may prove that it needed more time before release.

    This compilation combines two historic titles from Namco on the 3DS, and offers six games in total. Two of them date back to 80 and 81, and are displayed on such tiny screen that they become unplayable, two others are available in far superior versions (Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions in DX versions on the XBLA and PSN), and the final two use the features of the 3DS (gyro for Pac-Man Tilt, a poor platformer, and Augmented Reality for Galaga 3D Impact, a shameful shooter), but both are incredibly lame.
