These are some of the best platform/ shooting games ever created. Just buy them without any hesitation!

The videogame adaptation of the London Olympic Games is quite a surprise. Leaving behind the "button mashing" gameplay of the past, SEGA's latest sports game delivers an exciting and enjoyable experience that's better suited for multiplayer sessions.

If you're looking for an old school JRPG that is demanding and will keep you in front of your TV screen for hours upon hours, Rainbow Moon is ideal for you.

A game broken in so many ways there's no point in even trying to press "start" in the menu screen.

It's not the best Spider-man game. Ιt's not even Bennox's best effort. But Spidey can guarantee 5 to 6 hours of enjoyable web-swinging.

While itʼs not particularly interesting mechanically as a shooter, The Line is a surprisingly bold game – itʼs not here to entertain, but rather to provoke. The story might not be without problems, but the way itʼs told, integrated through gameplay, is a welcome first for the genre; hereʼs hoping more developers learn from it.

The truest hardcore game on Kinect has great ideas, but totally abysmal implementation.

One of the most frightening games ever created, period. The Wii version may not have any truly new additions (besides the 3rd person camera), but itʼs a game you must play whichever console you own.

For just 0.79 euros you get an addictive, fun and full of humor strategy/ RPG game that will keep you good company.

While it doesnʼt offer a unique experience, Heroes of Ruin is definitely a game that will keep you going for hours.

A weak storyline along with poor gameplay design and constant cut-scenes make the transition of George R.R. Martinʼs book to the videogame world a bland one.

Yet another release of the classic Dragonʼs Lair game. This version remains as charming as ever for older gamers, but it is highly unlikely that it can attract new crowd.

With Showdown Codemasters makes a 180 degrees turn towards the American audience. Itʼs not a bad game by no means, but itʼs also not a "DiRT" game.

After the wonderful Resistance 3, this FPS franchise takes a nosedive. Yes, it's the "first true FPS on a handheld device", but that doesn't say much actually.

The Sea Will Claim Everything asks its player to experience it slowly, immerse themselves in it and enjoy it, richly rewarding those that will actually do so. This is a game to be savoured, rather than powering through, with an excellent narrative, a beautiful art style, and wonderful music that trigger all kinds of memories of dreams we've forgotten or we never knew we had.

Resonance is a game with great ideas, wonderful puzzles and inspiring gameplay, but also a lackluster storyline that never reaches its potential.

TT Games offered what is, probably, the best LEGO game to date. Tons of stuff to do, great humor and a superb co-op mode will keep you company all through the summer.

A nice addition to a great series, Gods & Kings offers a lot of new content, but neglects to fix all the problems of the original game.

Suda 51 proves again that heʼs a special creator with a strange sense of humor. Lollipop Chainsaw is probably the best "b-videogame" ever created.

Capcom's first take on western RPGs is a solid effort, with great boss fights, many new ideas and hours upon hours of exploration and side quests.

With satisfying shooting mechanics, a great co-op mode and probably the best sound design we've ever heard on a shooter, Future Soldier is a "must have" for fans of the genre.

An obscure music/ rhythm game that works with the Move controller, but will not keep you interested for more than a couple of hours.

No doubt about it, it's better without Kinect.

A charming platformer with award winning physics that will keep you good company for some hours.

While doing nothing really new and offering quite a few game modes, the new Mario Tennis from Nintendo is a game as addictive and charming as every other offer from the Japanese company.

Yes, the "noir" feeling of Max Payne of old is lost, but Max Payne 3 is one of the most enjoyable 3rd person shooters you can find in this generation of hardware.

A game that truly showcases the power and special features PS Vita has. Gravity Rush delivers a beautiful artistic design, unique to the PS Vita features and an interesting concept.

It doesn't deliver the amazing level of graphics we've seen in the enhanced PC version, but the Xbox 360 edition of Witcher 2 is, by all means, one of the best western RPGs ever created.

If you've never owned a previous version of SBK and you are into racing motorcycles, then you should really consider getting this one. On the other hand, gamers who tried SBK 11, won't find anything particularly new here.

Surely not your average shooter. Sniper Elite V2 is for those you have patience and are looking for a slow, stealthy game to enjoy some of the most amazing kills ever depicted in videogames.

Truly the best "real" game PS Move has seen since its release. Too bad it's quite short and it doesn't deliver the full-scale of its creators vision.

A game that is mostly oriented towards new gamers that would like to take their first, bold steps into the realm of Turn Based strategy games.

A wondrous surrealistic adventure on and through the living branches of a "magical" tree, Botanicula is a beautiful addition to Amanita's game roster.

3.5 hours of FPS/ Strategy hybrid gameplay that is truly awful. Keep away.

A perfect way for new gamers to learn the story of Max before they delve deep into Max Payne 3.

Don't let the title fool you. This game has nothing to do with the beloved RPG franchise from Lionhead. It's just a bland, repetitive and boring hack 'n slash adventure with some mini-games in it.

Even though some PC features did not make it to this version, Minecraft on the Xbox 360 is still a game that will have you hooked for months.

It's an addictive, beautifully crafted and truly complete action/ RPG experience. Fans of the franchise will truly love it.

The Italians over at Milestone are something of a "motor-sports" experts. The sad thing is that MUD, even though it is quite enjoyable, is not in a position to offer a realistic and authentic Motocross Championship experience.

Repetitive, boring and betting a lot on its violence and gore. Better stick with Kratos.

Even though it's a "DLC" and not a complete game, Euro 2012 cannot satisfy soccer fans who wait for the full "Euro" experience, complete with all the teams and stadiums.

It's more simplified than its predecesor, but on the same time Risen 2 seems to be buit just for hardcore RPG gamers.

A collection of six of the most inspired games the Bit. Trip franchise has to offer. If you're looking for something special for your Wii, this is the collection you need to buy.

Boy Loves Girl has a charming art direction and some clever gameplay mechanisms, but soon it gets repetitive and a little boring.

A masterpiece of a game that draws inspiration from many classic franchises in order to deliver a unique experience. Don't miss it!

It's not a bad game. It just hasn't anything new to offer compared to the first installment from 2009 . So, if you're new to the franchise, you're going to have a good time. If not, don't expect much.

A respectful tribute to a nearly dead, but never forgotten genre, Legend of Grimrock reminds us the pure basics that can make an RPG so much fun to play: addictive gameplay, strong difficulty & puzzles and pure gripping cold atmosphere.

It's obscure, it's "arty" and it surely is old fashioned. And at the end of the day, Sword and Sorcery is surely a unique experience.

From now on, when you search your dictionary for the definition of the word "addiction", Trials Evolution will show up!

With an identity of its own, some clever ideas and a well written story, Pandora's Tower can be quite charming. On the downside, some of its gameplay mechanics simply don't work.

If you own a Kinect or a Move controller, buy this game. And if you don't own the aforementioned motion controllers, buy it all the same.

A Naruto game designed mostly for online battles and that's because the single player mode is not as polished or as big as in previous installments of the franchise.

Nothing really works with this game. Avoid it at all costs.

The first non-Japanese-developed Ridge Racer borrows heavily from games like Burnout and Need for Speed to deliver an enjoyable and full-of-adrenaline racing experience. It's not the best racer out there, but it can be fun!

This tactical RPG from Cyanide implements some charming ideas, but it suffers from repetition and bland, poorly designed levels.

A technical achievement that showcases the true potential of the iOS devices and the power of the Unreal engine.

This is probably the biggest production Kinect has seen so far (although that fact doesn't make it a good game). There are many modes that Star Wars fans (and mostly kids) will definitely enjoy, but you just keep getting a feeling that everything that happens on your screen is almost automated.

Some of the games in this pack are great, others not so. In any case, you can buy 8 games in a budget-price that will keep you occupied for many hours.

Rovio did it again. The "Space" edition of Angry Birds is so addictive that you'll constantly need a charger for your iOS device.

The graphics are on par with the home consoles, the same goes for the content, and PS3 users can have some interesting interaction if they have both versions of the game. All in all, a great addition to Vita's library.

More of a "create your content" rather than a "create your content and play" game. Granted, it's entertaining, but it is obvious that ModNation for Vita is a rushed product.

A game that doesn't do justice to the name "Resident Evil". It's full of bugs. It's boring. It's a bad, bad game.

The anime that this game is based upon may not be as popular as other Japanese animation, but Sanctuary Battle makes a decent effort to keep up with the true spirit of Kurumada's original vision. The fighting system is great, the art direction beautiful and the overall experience can be rewarding even for those who are not acquainted with the manga/ anime.

An HD collection that brings back two of Dante's most memorable moments (DMC and DMC3 - DMC2 is not worth mentioning). Young gamers should own it just to see how everything begun and older ones should get it in order to experience the beauty of DMC and DMC3 in HD resolution.

Itagaki's absence is evident in every aspect of this sequel that can barely carry the weight of the "Ninja Gaiden" name on its shoulders.

Change isn't always for the best and this transition of Pendulo from the realm of comedy to darker planes seems like a hasty move. Marred by bad design decisions, awfully short playtime and frustratingly easy puzzles, Yesterday is a game that starts really strong, has a great story idea, but utterly fails to hook the player.

Some technical problems can be quite disturbing and the new voice-overs might sound strange to older gamers, but at the end of the day, this collection offers two of Japan's most important gaming masterpieces.

Sakurai did it again. The rebirth of Kid Icarus is nothing less than a game packed with action, great graphics, superb writing and many inspired gameplay ideas.

Not just a great way to boost your Galaxy Readiness, but one of the best games the iOS platform has to offer.

A spin-off to the legendary Yakuza franchise that deviates from the main story-line and brings zombies to the front. It's quite strange, it has lots of problems and it is made mostly for fans of the franchise.

Probably the best looking game that anyone can buy for their iOS devices. It's a Gears of War clone, no doubt about that. But it's a nicely made GoW clone.

Vatra Games made decent efforts to deliver a unique experience that would be faithful to the Silent Hill games of old. The Chechs failed, but that doesn't mean their game is not capable of delivering some enjoyable survival horror gaming hours.

Escape Plan is not the "bold next step" for the puzzle genre we've been waiting, but it can be quite addictive and it offers some clever puzzles and one of the best art directions we've witnessed in a long time.

Even though it is offered as a "budget-price title", Gaijin's latest is not capable of standing next to some great action/ hack 'n' slash games the genre has offered in this generation. Nevertheless Ayumi's blades and time manipulating capabilities can be charming.

When Tetris meets modern music this is what you get. It's not suitable for everyone, but a few unique gaming hours are guaranteed.

A pure, fun and addictive gaming experience that brings back in full throttle the beloved arcade football (or soccer) game of the previous generation. Simply put, this is a must have for football lovers.

A classic game that few modern gamers know. You should take a look at it -especially if you're going to purchase Kid Icarus Uprsising- just to see how everything began.

A port from the mobile phone versions with limited to no use of the power and features PS Vita has.

The new SSX game by EA delivers a unique sense of sliding down with your board from a tall mountain in full speed. Probably, the best snowboarding game of this generation.

The first step of the "fusion" between Namco and Capcom was quite successful. The fighters of the two worlds have merged well, there's much content to enjoy and the fighting system is as great as was expected from a game developed by Capcom.

A constant repetition of the environments and many shallow missions keep Zipper's latest from becoming the first great shooter for PS Vita.

The idea of changing from 2D to 3D environments at any time is great, but overall Crush 3D suffers from quite a high difficulty and repetitive puzzles. Nevertheless, it's something unique that it does worth a look.

Even though it lacks the co-op mode of the home console versions, Origins on PSVita remains as beautiful and enjoyable as ever.

A great return for David Jaffe's legendary combat racing franchise. If it weren't for those network problems, this would truly be a memorable addition to PS3's library.

It's upgraded, it's addictive, it's beautiful and polished as every other release in this series. Even though it's not as big as "Napoleon", fans of the Total War franchise will be more than pleased with Fall of the Samurai.

Under no circumstances this game can justify its release. Not when you can buy almost the same content from App Store for a mere 4 dollars.

Gaijin Entertainment offers a very interesting and enjoyable take on the dogfights of World War II. With "arcade" and "simulator" controls that will appeal to almost everyone, and with a budget price tag, this is the "flight simulator" game you've been waiting for.

Despite its shortcomings, I Am Alive manages to offer a true survival experience, with intense platforming, clever combat mechanics and an impressive enemy AI. This is definitely the "biggest" small game you'll get to play in 2012.

Although it's not one of the best games PSVita's launch line-up has to offer, it is worth a look -especially for its AR capabilities- if you find it in the bargain bin.

A true renaissance for this Nintendo's franchise. The new modes will up the challenge and you'll have a good time, especially if you invite your friends over to your house. Too bad there's no online mode.

An RTS game made exclusively for hardcore PC gamers. It's beautifully crafted, but too damn hard! You have been warned.

While it's not as grand and beautiful as the PS3 episodes, Golden Abyss is a technological marvel when it comes to portable gaming.

It's easy to learn, hard to master, addictive and beautiful. Simply put, it's one of the best buys a PSVita owner could make.

Although the new Syndicate has very few to no ties with the legendary game from the '90s, it's a solid FPS, with great atmosphere and some very interesting gameplay mechanics.

A game that's literally cut in half (the European version) and doesn't really offer anything to fans of the beloved anime series. Keep your distance.

The most epic trilogy of this generation ends in an almost perfect way. It doesn't matter whether you're a fan of the franchise or not. You owe it to yourself to save Earth.

When games take it to the next step and become art!

Sakaguchi's latest is not a tribute to JRPGs of old, as many might have expected, but a bold new step for the genre. Although it's quite short and suffers from many cliches, Last Story is, without a doubt, one of the best games Japan has to offer in this generation.
