This is the way Diablo III should have been from the very beginning.

Even though it has some "Nintendo magical moments" Yoshi's New Island never truly shines.

It depends on whether you see this as a fan of the franchise or not to fully justify the price tag. In any case it's a good start for the upcoming new chapter of Hideo Kojima's series of tactical espionage.

It's probably the most bland and repetitive DBZ game of this generation, with its only saving grace being the immense roster of characters.

Popcap’s first attempt to transform Plants vs Zombies franchise into a shooter is quite mediocre, as it lacks many basic and fundamental aspects someone would seek in a multiplayer only shooter.

FromSoftware has warned you again and again: "You will die". And in this game you will love even these frustrating moments.

More of an "encyclopedia of car service" than a game. Still, it has its good moments.

Titanfall is supposed to be the first next-gen FPS. Though this might not be the case, its awesome parkour mechanics, the titan-scale battles with the Titans and the stellar online matchmaking system conduct an undeniably super enjoyable and addicting FPS experience.

The PS4 edition of Dead Nation has some visual improvements over the original, but the highlight here is, without a doubt, the Broadcast+ mode.

A take on Minecraft and Metal Slug that needs immediate polishing in order to deliver what it has in store.

Just like a living painting! Rayman Legends on the PS4 is one of the most beautiful and best games we've ever played.

It's not the best LEGO that ever came out of Tt Games' toybox, but it's definitely tons of fun.

This is the way FPS games should be created.

It's a solid experience, with superb graphics and a truly stellar battle system. If the A.I. weren't so unbalanced Second Son would have been the best inFAMOUS game to date.

The end of the XIII trilogy, from a gameplay standpoint, gains and loses its strength from design mechanics and decisions that sets Lightning Returns apart from its predecessors. It’s nevertheless a title that caters to the trilogy fan, giving also a different perspective and a fresh air of play to the veteran Final Fantasy players.

Poorly executed and having no true relation with the original Thief games, the latest effort from the guys that gave us the superb Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a missed opportunity that will disappoint fans of the old games and newcomers alike.

Obsidian Entertainment managed to create a South Park game that is completely indistinguishable from the TV series. The witty and vulgar humor, the cutout aesthetic, and the hilarious voice talents of Matt Stone and Troy Parker are all present. Fans of the series shouldn’t miss it.

The modern setting is a bit awkward and some design choices made by MercurySteam can be frustrating, but Lords of Shadow 2 is a true and great Castlevania game in its own right.

Even though it lasts 2.5 hours this single player DLC for Naughty Dog's masterpiece is a must-have for anyone who traveled with Ellie and Joel in the original game.

Rambo: The Videogame has its good moments and in these moments it can be enjoyable. But when all is said and done, it's nothing more than a mediocre on-rails shooter.

While it is wonderful that Might & Magic is back with us after so many years, it is a bit frustrating that it is enclosed in a new generic fantasy world. Nevertheless, its brutal gameplay and dungeon crawling is back with a bang and fans of the series will be well rewarded by returning to the cradle of western RPGs.

Another "job well done" by the masters at Retro Studios.

Even though it can't be justified as a "true next-gen" game Outlast is one the scariest videogame experiences ever created.

Some 10 year old problems are still here proving that Lionhead didn't do its best during the port, but Fable -even after all those years- remains one unique fairytale of a game.

Simply irresistible and addictive as hell.

The best looking and truly "definitive" version of Lara's latest adventure.

Even though the scale of this edition is not as grand as its PC sibling, by now you definitely know what to expect from Minecraft.

After a four year hiatus this is definitely not the NBA game we've been expecting from EA.

Its stripped down battle system and low production values have a huge impact on the overall quality of Stoics game, a game that has a unique charm but cannot earn a place next to the best "tactics" games whether they are "indie/ kickstarter" projects or not.

A wonderful new twist to the old puzzle platform genre.

If it weren't for the uninspired puzzles and the low production values, Adam's Venture: Chronicles would have gained a much higher place in our hearts.

It's beautiful, it has an interesting story and the turn-based battles can become epic, but it's too damn difficult and unforgiving even to hardcore gamers.

The tedious "trial and error" design will make you want to bang your head on to the nearest wall. But if you have patience there are a lot of interesting things you'll find in Don't Starve.

There's really nothing really new or innovative in this version of Peggle, but you know you have to try it.

Forza 5 has that "next-gen" feeling written all over it, but still seems a bit rushed and definitely smaller than the previous game. If you can overcome the infamous "microtransactions" it's sure you will enjoy a perfectly balanced racer.

Sweet animation and charming character aside, Gomo is a lukewarm experience with an almost nonexistent duration and an irrelevant plot.

This new Scribblenauts adventure retains almost every element we loved from the previous games, but at the same time fails to do something truly new and engaging.

Baldur's Gate II is considered by many as the epitome of old school RPGs and a must play for any gamer. Heavily improved over the previous Enhanced Edition, its high price point and few new quest bugs are the only reasons you may consider getting the cheaper, original edition over this one.

It's one of those games that tries and succeeds in making a bold statement. Be prepared for something really special.

When Dead Rising meets Diablo the outcome is a game like How to Survive. A game that has tons of great ideas, but in the end fails to take fully advantage of most of them.

It's the fact that you can play with 3 of your friends locally using only a card of the game that really saves this poor man's Mario Party from oblivion.

It wasn't that good a game when it was first released as a PS Vita exclusive and it didn't get any better now. Liberation is one of the worst moments in the Assassin's franchise that only manages to send you running back to Black Flag.

It's not the perfect sample of a "next-gen" game and the basic design has been slightly changed, but Dead Rising 3 is mindless fun, has tons of content and stays true to the Dead Rising spirit.

A charming adventure/ puzzle game that suffers from the "DLC syndrome", repetition and some major bugs.

Developed by a team of Danish students, this action-RPG can offer great co-op gameplay if you can find the right company to help you through your adventures.

An old-school 2D platformer that recently found its way on Steam. Oozi has its good moments, but it gets very repetitive very soon and constantly recycles its content.

It's one of those games that only Nintendo is capable of delivering. If you own a Wii U, this is the best Christmas present you can get for you and your friends or family.

With Gran Turismo 6 Polyphony Digital delivers a complete, truly new and massive racing game that will keep you occupied for many months.

This is the definitive version of XCOM. If you're looking for tons of content, high challenge and old-school, hardcore gameplay, this is the place where you'll find it all.

A superb twin-stick shooter by the creators of Super Stardust HD, that is probably the best exclusive launch game for the PS4.

Bravely Default is a classic j-rpg experience that doesn't aim high, but delivers where it matters, featuring robust gameplay and stunningly artistic visuals.

This is probably the most horrifying experience in videogames, ever!

If you love Spongebob we can only recommend this one once it'll find its place in the bargain bin.

It's probably the Zelda game with the lowest challenge, and one that borrows many ideas from past games, but at the same time it implements a series of innovations that prove the brilliance of this series designers.

Even though much of its content seems copied from older NFS games, Rivals is a great arcade racer with tons of content and fun.

The idea of this nightmarish, digital world is unique and very interesting, but some poor gameplay choices by the designers break the overall quality of what could have been a great game.

TT games continues to deliver superb and unbelievably fun LEGO games. And LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is one of the best.

Drawing inspiration from such classics as Limbo and Bastion, Nihilumbra will travel you to a beautiful world full of clever puzzles and great platforming moments.

With an absurd level of difficulty and some poor choices in its level design, Knack will probably appeal only to die-hard action/ platformer fans.

A true showcase of PS4's power, Killzone: Shadow Fall is the best launch game for the newly arrived system. On the downside, it seems quite rushed and the newly implemented gameplay ideas are not fully developed.

As long as you stay away from the PC port, ArmA Tactics will offer you some enjoyable strategy gaming hours on your portable device.

A missed chance in what could have been a cross between Indiana Jones and Uncharted in a first person shooter environment.

A bland, rather boring game that belongs to the bargain bin or, at best, to the Xbox LIVE Arcade library.

Journey of a Roach has an interesting concept as well as some clever puzzles, but the novelty quickly wears out and all we're left with is a short game with a mostly unexplored idea.

It's fast, old school and with tons of blood. If you're looking for the "proper Duke Nukem" of this age, you've just found him.

After six games Level-5 is still capable of delivering fresh, innovative and addictive puzzles in a beloved franchise.

Yet again Milestone was not able to deliver a solid, rallying experience. WRC 4 has some great moments, but they are not enough to save an otherwise dated racer.

A rather mediocre "endless runner" that loses whatever charm it has after a couple of hours.

Two years after its initial release, Deus Ex: Human Revolution remains a superb experience and an achievement in storytelling and gameplay.

This is a triumphant return to glory for Insomniac. Like Quest for Booty, NEXUS is a short game, but the level design, the writing, the weapons and the overall experience are probably the best we've witnessed in the PS3 era of R&C.

More of an update to the 2012 edition than a new game per se. Vicarious Visions and Yuke's need to try harder and bring us a truly fresh game next year.

Battlefield 4 continues the Battlefield heritage by being the best shooter for fans that love multiplayer team-play, but DICE seriously needs to consider ditching the single-player aspect of the series and focus on a multiplayer only experience.

The technology used in Skylanders games and the overall experience of the portal and the toys is great. On top of that, with Swap Force we have an awesome videogame that is more than ideal for young gamers and their parents.

If you enjoy music&rhythm platformers, then Beatbuddy will offer you more than 5 hours of gaming in a sea of electronic music.

The experience here is exactly the same as the one from the 3DS edition -which is good- and the story is essential for those who wish to follow the lore from the Lords of Shadow franchise.

A somewhat disappointing ending for a great game. Ep.4 loses all the momentum that was built in the previous installment and is mostly reduced into a puzzle hunt.

Sonic: Lost World on the 3DS is a flawed, disappointing game that unlike its Wii U sibling you should definitely avoid.

With problematic pacing and a complete lack of the horror element -that was the highlight of the first game- A Machine for Pigs didn't meet our expectations.

It seems that Infinity Ward lost a unique opportunity to introduce the CoD franchise to a whole new generation of hardware. Ghosts is by no means a flawed game, on the contrary, the multiplayer and extinction modes are great, but the feeling that we're doing the same thing all over again is quite strong.

Yes, most of the game seems like a copy of Arkham City, but that doesn't take away the overall high quality that comes from the lush world, the superb fighting system and the great characters WB Montreal created.

A much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise. The new environment, new protagonists and the awesome naval battles will satisfy even the most demanding Assassin's Creed fan.

With every new addition to the franchise Sports Interactive achieves new heights of realism and addiction. This is the definitive Football Manager.

EA continues to dominate the fields, whether they are made of grass or ice. The 2014 edition of NHL is one of the best that has come out and the addition of the NHL 94 arcade edition makes it even more valuable.

As an ending to a wonderfully developed trilogy, Goodbye Deponia has some great moments, but also some points that will disappoint.

Pokemon X&Y set a new high point for the series with beautiful, new 3D graphics, evolved gameplay and amazing online features. Simply put, it's the perfect opportunity to fall in love with Pokemon all over again.

Pokemon X&Y set a new high point for the series with beautiful, new 3D graphics, evolved gameplay and amazing online features. Simply put, it's the perfect opportunity to fall in love with Pokemon all over again.

Addictive as hell and with some great music tracks. And don't let me get started on the quality of the editor that's implemented in this edition.

If you can persuade three of your friends to join you in Atomic Ninjas then you'll definitely have some good laughs.

Thank God our daily bread and cereal is not dependent on this game.

The new version of Formula 1 by Codemasters is just as solid and enjoyable as the previous editions. And that's the problem here: The game is so similar to its predecessors that it cannot be justified as a "new release".

A magical journey through the human feelings and the sad sense of loss. "Brothers" is one of those unique games that make the industry proud.

A rather typical, albeit interesting and quite "warm" adventure game that will offer you about 10 hours of charming, old fashioned point and click gameplay.

Although it's by far the most realistic war game ever created we can't ignore the fact that -as it is at this moment- ARMA III is incomplete. It feels almost like it's in a beta phase.

David Cage and his team at Quantic Dream always try to deliver unique experiences and Beyond: Two Souls is another one of these superb "interactive dramas" only this development house is capable of creating.

Although the changes and updates from the 2012 version are superficial, NBA 2K14 is a true masterpiece and probably the best sports game of the year.

Soul Hackers may have been a great game when it was originally released on the SEGA Saturn, but this 3DS port cannot live up to modern gaming standards and will only appeal to old-school jrpg fans.

The PC edition of Guacamelee comes with all the extra content that has come out since its initial release and with all of that lovely, Mexican craziness.
