A hauntingly beautiful experience that offers both the relaxation and the suspense of deep sea diving in a simple yet enthralling way.

A feast for the senses, Ni No Kuni has a lot to offer to the hardcore JRPG gamers. Irregular difficulty, slow pacing and poor friendly AI are its problems, but if you can get past them, you will be captivated by its wonderful world, deep mechanics, great post-game length and overall beauty.

If you're looking for a "NES" type of platform game for your PC, Sugar Cube should be quite high on your list.

A "collection of memories" that never truly shines.

A tower-defense game with a strange concept and unique art direction. It's not the best game of the genre App Store has to offer, but it has its moments.

Chasing Aurora should be played by you and your friends, then and only then it can deliver any amount of fun.

Although the style of the new Dante is somewhat ambiguous there's no denying that DmC is an enjoyable, well-paced and quite beautiful game.

A decent "twin-stick" shooter for the Wii U that will keep you occupied for a couple of days.

It may not justify the 400 MS points price tag it bears, but Ice Crashed can be enjoyable for short, five minute "gaming bursts".

Mature, gory and moody. This game from UK based developer Harvester Games is one of the best surprises we've had in a long time!

One of the most clever and addictive games Wii U has to offer at the moment. If you've just bought Nintendo's new console this is one of the e-shop games that should be on the top of your wish list.

Surely not one of Platinum Games' best moments, but as a budget title this online brawler can offer some enjoyable mindless action.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is obviously a great game that every gamer must play. It is a pity though that the whole "Enhanced" title falls sort since most of the additions and improvements exist as free mods.

If you are a League of Legends fan there is nothing here you haven't seen before. On the other hand, if you want to see what the fuss is about MOBA games, call some good friends and enjoy the thrilling competition that Guardians of Middle Earth can offer.

The definition of an extremely bad licensed game, Toy Story Mania falls into every single cliché and manages to besmear the Toy Story franchise like no other game.

Paper Mario is something of a missed opportunity because it could become a much better game, but ultimately is very enjoyable and offers tons of fun.

The game-ending glitches can be a real pain and the same goes for some of the developers choices concerning the use of the GamePad. But if you are willing to look past those problems you'll be left with a true and immersive survival horror experience.

Primordia is ticking almost every box. It has an amazing setting with a deep back-story and lore, and some wonderful gameplay ideas. It is a pity though the main storyline and the puzzles struggle so much to keep up and don't quite manage to live up to enticing prospect.

QForce is quite enjoyable and with the budget price it comes with can certainly be recommended to fans of the franchise. But it's not a "proper" R&C game and certainly not the ideal way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Insomniac's beloved duo.

Time sure wasn't kind on the first Zone of the Enders and the HD remastering of the collection isn't perfect. Luckily the 2nd Runner remains a PS2 Classic and this, coupled with the feeling of nostalgia, are the only reasons you should care about this package.

The first Mario game for Nintendo's new home console is as great, challenging and beautiful as was expected. It's obvious that Nintendo played a safe bet here, but a bet that is rewarding for any Mario fan.

Epic Mickey 2 feels like a rushed job, hurried to catch upon the relative fame of its predecessor. It fixes a couple problems from the past and introduces a wonderful co-op system, but falls short in many departments, both story wise and gameplay wise.

While many of the problems found on Far Cry 2 are addressed here, Ubisoft's latest is not what we were hoping it would be. Far Cry 3 has superb gunplay and great characters, but the story never really builds up and the missions can get quite repetitive.

It successfully adopts the humor of the TV show and the original voices give it some extra authenticity, but at the end of the day, Back to the Multiverse is just another bad third person shooter.

A game mainly intended for a young audience. Those who saw the movie and wanted to play the video game adaptation of it will be disappointed for sure. Although it has some enjoyable environments and levels, its repetitive objectives and missions will discourage anyone from continued play.

While it has been accused of cloning the Super Smash Bros. franchise, in the end All-Stars Battle Royale is a game with its own character that will certainly satisfy the PlayStation die-hard fans.

A game far superior to United Front's Modnation Racers that takes the true spirit of LittleBigPlanet to a whole new level.

Suitable only for older gamers that would like to feel the nostalgia of an era long gone.

Lego Lord of the Rings is a great retelling of a great story. With tons of hours to be had in both Story Mode and Free Roam, this isn't just another high point for the series, but perhaps the best Lord of the Rings-inspired game to date.

An enjoyable addition to the series, Absolution is a complex mix of the old-school series with modern gaming. A few of the changes are hit & miss and some are plain broken, but in the end it manages to offer an entertaining experience for both old fans and younger gamers alike.

Another game based on the famous German TV Show. We're told that the TV Sow is good, but we know that this game isn't.

A hack 'n slash/ action RPG Silent Hill? Yes, it's a major deviation from the survival horror genre and not a good one.

Despite its flaws Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is an all-around better game than it's predecessor and a great homage to Sega's glorious past. It won't convert those faithful to Mario Kart, but it surely offers some good kart racing action and a fun alternative for fans of the genre.

It can be fun and addictive at times, but it came out almost the same time as LittleBigPlanet Karting and Sonic Racing Transformed which are far superior than Codies' latest.

While it's ideal for fans of the franchise, the absence of the second game and some dated mechanics in the fighting system are serious cons.

A decent addition to the series, Warfighter brings some new ideas to the mix and offers a solid experience for every FPS fan. Its main issue is the lack of vision to push a bit further from the classic formula and offer something unique.

This time around, Treyarch was seriously devoted into the creation of a plot that emphasized the importance of characters and storytelling. For multiplayer fans, new modes like League Play, CODcasting and being able to live stream their games on YouTube is enough to get them excited. And, on top of that, a revamped zombies mode is there for any co-operative shooter lover.

It might not be as good or as lavish as Hot Pursuit, but Criterion surely offered another great addition to EA's legendary racing franchise.

Taking a trip down the memory lane with the Attitude Era mode is not what a revolution can really bring. However, WWE '13 is the most complete WWE title we've ever seen.

Another cleverly crafted and quite beautiful game by Tobias Bilgeri. This time it's Love and Hate that will have to do all the puzzle solving and platforming and we're more than happy to help them on their quest.

Another solid addition to the Pokemon franchise that will definitely please the fans of the series.

Chaos on Deponia is a great entry in the Deponia trilogy. It manages to address most of the issues of its predecessor while it connects wonderfully with it and brilliantly offers a fresh experience to the player.

Through a turmoil of assassinations, naval battles, Freudian conflicts, pig herding and marital ceremonies, Assassin's Creed III ends a saga in a way that many could judge as unsatisfactory. AC III is a flawed and confused game characterized by the absence of a clear identity and the lack of a true vision about the Assassin Order. It remains a big game with plenty to do, even though not knowing exactly why you have to do them.

Yet another unsatisfying Dragon Ball Z iteration which on paper looks extremely promising, but in action falls surprisingly short.

Rewarding patience and critical thinking, Mark of the Ninja is an excellent dark themed stealth game made by Klei Entertainment.

You could say that Of Orcs and Men reminds us of games of the distant past, but we can't remember RPGs of the old days being so bad. Despite its surprisingly fun and interesting story, Of Orcs and Men is a game that struggles and fails to achieve mediocrity.

When it comes down to the quality of the port, these are arguably the best versions available. But no matter how high the production value is, or how flawless the port is, it's still a port of a game made for mobile devices, and at a much, much higher price than what we're used.

Milestone fails, yet again, to deliver a decent WRC gaming experience.

343 Industries delivers one the best Halo games ever created thus proving that this studio is perfectly capable of handling Microsoft's legendary franchise.

Worms Revolution is a refreshing new direction on the traditional Worms recipe, but falls short on being called a "revolution" due to some gameplay problems and lack of truly new content.

It seems that Bohemia Interactive didn't give enough attention to Carrier Command: Gaea Mission since they are busy with other projects. But, even if this isn't the main reason that Carrier Command: Gaea Mission fails in many areas, the awful AI, a complex interface, the bad graphics and the great amount of bugs and glitches sure is.

Surely not your average first person shooter. On the contrary, Dishonored uses stealth in a way only the Thief games have managed to do and delivers a superb steam punk experience we haven't seen in many years.

It's well written story and charming visuals can't hide the fact that most of the time Fable: The Journey is quite unplayable thus breaking the experience.

XCOM Enemy Unknown is a fine introduction to the genre of turn based tactical strategy games for the console gamers or the younger ones, and a satisfactory re-introduction to some PC veterans. Any comparison with the glorious past of the series loses its meaning since Firaxis' effort is a really challenging and a marvelous game by itself.

Blizzard returns to glory by re-balancing the whole game, introducing some great new areas for gamers to explore and adding some quite interesting classes.

Taking a new turn, the new Forza game delivers an immense world to explore packed with superb graphics and an incredible sense of freedom. It's not a "Forza Motorsport" game per se, but it's a great game in any respect.

An interesting b-movie inspired horror game that offers a nice atmosphere, but lacks a certain identity to inspire the player.

Beautiful visuals, clever ideas and a pleasant story can't make up for a shallow and overly linear gameplay. Condensed in an experience that lasts about an hour and a half, The Unfinished Swan can't show its true potential nor can it satisfy the player. We really wish things were different, but you can go ahead and ignore what could otherwise have been an indie masterpiece.

Capcom tried to satisfy all the fans of the series, but in the end, the result isn't what we expected. On the other hand, the great co-op mode and the variety of choices will keep players busy for a very long time.

It seems that 2K Sports didn't rest at all and made even more improvements upon the series and especially in the MyCareer Mode. NBA 2K13 is the only basketball title available right now and it conquers the digital basketball courts with no competitor under the basket.

A game that's so overcomplicated and hard to manage that takes away almost every tiny aspect of fun that could be had.

The best game PS Vita has seen to date, the best LittleBigPlanet in every Sony platform and probably one of the best games in this generation of hardware.

Despite the occasional bugs we get from the Impact Engine and the dated graphics engine, FIFA 13 is the most complete football game experience you will ever get.

The great graphics, nice - interconnected between the characters - story mode and enjoyable fighting system make Team Ninja's latest game a worthy contender for the title of the genre.

An interesting twist on the Sherlock Holmes adventure formula. The Testament offers a new view on the beloved detective. It may be a bit far from being considered a classic, but still manages to offer an exciting and entertaining experience.

Codemasters continues down the path of evolving and improving its most recent racing franchise. And, with the 2012 edition, almost everything seems to be in its proper place.

With several adjustments in crucial MMO features, set in a dynamic, living world, Guild Wars 2 casts the spell with its emergent gameplay to old and new players alike, making it the best the genre has had to offer in years.

It's Cityville with the Simpsons, simple as that. Fans of the TV series should definitely try this out.

It's bigger, better and more addictive than ever. If you loved the first one, you simply can't miss Gearbox's latest game.

Rayman is back, more energetic and refreshing than ever, teaching everyone how platforming should have been applied from the start on smartphones. If you enjoyed Rayman Origins and liked the new look of the franchise, then you should definitely not miss this one.

Konami made the decision to do some radical changes in the gameplay of PES 2013 and succeeded in creating the most enjoyable PES of the past few years.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is keeping alive all the things Namco's franchise is well known and loved for and delivers a superb single and multiplayer experience. Until the release of the new Soul Calibur game, this is probably the best fighting game out there.

More of a "side offer" with the awesome AV8R Flight Stick by Mad Catz than a proper game that could stand on its own in the market.

The Xbox 360 version of this western RPG suffers from all the syndromes these games have when they find their way onto consoles. Bugs, glitches and stubborn choices by the developers that can't seem to understand the nature of console gaming too well.

Bigger, better and darker than its predecessor. Darksiders II is a game that should be played by everyone that loves Zelda, Prince of Persia and Soul Reaver games.

Probably the best Transformers game that came out since the PlayStation 2 title by Melbourne House.

This Italian indie game doesn't live up to our expectations, but it is in a position to deliver some interesting adventure/ horror moments and can offer some great replay value.

After the two mediocre True Crime games, we had abandoned all hope for a good project by United Front Games. Sleeping Dogs proved us wrong. It's a great, open world game, with beautiful graphics, engaging gameplay and one of the most interesting stories this genre has to offer.

It's strange, "bizarre" some would say, but this old fighting game from Capcom still has some life in it. Too bad its way too overpriced.

BioWare is having some trouble implementing bits and pieces of the Mass Effect lore in Mass Effect 3. Nevertheless, Leviathan is a "must buy" for hardcore fans of the franchise due to its absolutely essential -story wise- last five minutes.

Despite some of its shortcomings and a very sudden ending Deponia is a wonderfully crafted adventure game that will more than satisfy fans of the genre.

Under no circumstances can this game offer the excitement and adrenaline rush of the Tour de France event. If you're looking for something along those lines you'll have better luck if you try the PC version.

A breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring adventure that no matter its faults, offers a wonderful experience to the fans of adventure games.

Inversion is condemned to eternal oblivion due to the defiant lack of marketing and advertising. However it is a solid game, with satisfactory gameplay mechanics, some consistently implemented fresh ideas and interesting storyline which ends with a cliffhanger that will remain unresolved. Worshipers of the Gears of War religion, give Inversion a chance.

Don't get fooled. This is not just another "rhythm/ music game". With Sound Shapes you'll find yourself trying those beautiful platform levels again and again until your PS Vita runs out of battery.

While it doesn't offer anything new and innovative, the new adventure of Mario is by all means faithful to the high quality standards set by its predecessors.

A breath of fresh air in the Third Person Shooter genre. Hybrid might alienate gamers with its predetermined cover system and the only-for-6-player modes, but it is different from most other games in this category and is doing a good job in entertaining fans of online shooters.

Unmechanical delivers a unique puzzle/ platforming experience along with quite an inspired art direction. If you're looking for something different and cheap (but, mind you, quite short) then this game is for you.

With a superb animation and visual style, this action-RPG by Dean Dodrill is definitely one of the best games in this year's Summer of Arcade.

It's full of a unique dark atmosphere and character, but its very short campaign will leave you wanting more.

Tales studio delivers another great JRPG -albeit not as great as Vesperia- with a strong narrative and a superb battle system.

It's a "3D Angry Birds", no doubt about that, but it can be fun, especially if you invite your friends over to your house for some party play.

A puzzle-platformer with innovative gameplay ideas and a charming art direction. Too bad it ends when it's starting to become really interesting.

Ideal for a younger audience who will not mind the extremely easy and quite repetitive gameplay.

This edition is composed of the best bits we loved from the first two Tony Hawk games, but at the same time there is an absence of some major characteristics (no offline multiplayer and only 7 stages) that's completely unjustified.

By now the story has become so complex that only dedicated fans will understand what's going on. And it's them that will appreciate the new combat system that has come with Kingdom Hearts 3D.

A game conceived, crafted and offered only with the fans of the Final Fantasy franchise in mind. Bear this in mind when you visit your local videogames store.

The random generated levels of Spelunky can create quite a challenge and on top of that, will keep the game fresh and addictive for many hours.
