The most interesting aspect of this Castlevania-like lies in its unique transformations, bringing a bit of variety to the game. It's cool, but not efficient enough, even for 5 dollars.

Not great enough to bring Sonic back to the pantheon of heroes from platform games, Sonic Colours is still a pleasant game which maybe lack a bit of originality and substance.

With its 10-15s loading times... and its botched interface, AlphaBounce doesn’t even try to seduce players.

While the Pokémon Legends series may at first seem eager to break free from the limitations of the mainline episodes, it still falls short of the long-awaited reinvention fans have been hoping for. Z-A shows plenty of good ideas and offers the most engaging battle system the franchise has seen in a long time, but it struggles to make up for its eternal shortcomings: dull and underwhelming visuals for the modern era, a still overly childish narrative, a glaring lack of personality, and gameplay inconsistencies that gradually erode the experience over time. Though die-hard fans of the series will no doubt overlook these flaws, the average player (who only hunts monsters from time to time) will find Pokémon Legends: Z-A to be a pleasant attempt, but far from essential.

After having explored every corner of the galaxy and played the card of excess, the Borderlands saga re-centers its story on a single planet, meant to be the franchise’s first true open world. By returning to less grandiose foundations, but also to less fiery writing, Gearbox clearly intends to offer an experience that doesn’t scatter itself, in order to better master its fundamentals: excellent gameplay with real depth, paired with humor that is better handled and less overblown. That said, it’s also regrettable that the density of its universe relies on exploration and environments that are, all in all, very conventional, along with a certain lack of boldness. Borderlands 4 is efficient, but it won’t send shivers through the industry—showing off muscles we already know all too well.

A converted try for Ubisoft Quebec, and a safe bet for Wii owners.

Mafia II is enjoyable and polished, but we could expect way more from 2K Czech.

Death Rally comes back to life on iPhone and it's still an easygoing nervous arcade game. Actually, it's even better thanks to some stunning visuals. It's a shame though that some control issues, the lack of multiplayer mode and its dull Career mode keep Death Rally from being as memorable as it could be.

FFIV on PSP is a delicious remake with tons of options. Too bad the character design is meh.

City Tales: Medieval Era is likely a pleasant proposition for newcomers to the city-builder genre—but that also turns out to be its biggest flaw. By removing any form of penalties or constraints in the expansion of our city, the entire game can be played on autopilot without the slightest concern. This is all the more regrettable since some of its gameplay mechanics, such as companions, are actually quite enjoyable.

Very Japanese in spirit and construction, Shadows of the Damned made efforts to adapt to Western productions, but it's still below the current standard of games in its class.

After swimming with sharks, Pro Evolution Soccer has undergone a facelift with this new episode, particularly successful, although perfectible, but placed on the right track.

Even if it won't go down in history, Singularity will delight horrific shooter fans, especially those who are now fed up with Rapture and Black Mesa.
