Charm from the original title is gone. There is not enough humour, technical issues are ruining its gameplay, and even though its developers are trying to mask it, the game's content is not a big thing here. Do not think of it as a prequel to the excellent game, its outcome is mediocre at best.

Stylish and original Retro/Grade leaves an intense joyful feeling of space voyage. However, the feeling vanishes quickly.

Even though Lords of Football has some interesting ideas, in a few hours the game becomes unbearably repetitive thing unable to challenge nor reward its players.

An excellent old school RPG with attractive well worked-out crafting along with the entertaining monster hunting, which makes sense even for Monster Hunter Tri owners and fans as a legitimate "new edition" because it has plenty of new content. However, you may criticize here and there in-game camera troubles and strong storyline absence.

Even though Slender uses the most primitive horror elements, initially it works for him. However, after a lapse of time he's losing his breath, and at the end of the game instead of being thrilling he's just boring.

Inexperience and too much ambition have left their marks on a bland RPG. It contains incomplete game elements, and its combat is the only challenge and entertainment of the game.

Hired Guns + Commandos + Brazil + Grim Fandango + Thief = PROFIT! Well, if you get over its initially confusing controls along with its mediocre artificial intelligence.

A strategy game perfectly suited for the experienced gamers who are not afraid of complex gaming mechanics along with their complicated combination, and for those who are also willing to work out its confusing interface, and to wait for several annoying bugs to be removed.

This lightweight canapé with a taste of the 80s B action movies aesthetics will keep you busy, laughing.

An outstanding fighting game that scores not only because of its attractive setting with more or less popular DC comics heroes, but mainly because of its well-made system, interactive arenas, and its casual/hardcore accessibility.

For youngsters it's oddly out of date, for the old stickers it's far from the original. This is how the HD edition of the legendary strategy game Age of Empires II has turned out. From one golden legacy to just broken pieces. Hopefully, its community will put it together.

Dead Island: Riptide is not a surprise. It has its dynamic gameplay with a great cooperative mode, however, those Poles might think of a different story next time. And above all, improve its gaming controls along with its interface.

Intentionally, Evoland is evoking memories on some of the most amazing games in the solar system, but the game itself is not the amazing one. Half of it is an illustrative and funny excursion to history of the video game industry, half of it is dull as ditch water. So it's about fifty-fifty.

An excellent action adventure game with many entertaining elements. Its multiplayer game along with the game's changeable setting is good and likeable. However, a lack of motivation to reach the maximum score in every single level, and sections of levels that are often repeated are putting the game down.

GTA for a whole family. A perfect example of a game for children, it's entertaining, it's great, it's clever, and funny in almost every way.

An interesting concept that's been realised into a totally horrible and dull shooter/stealth action crossover that I cannot recommend to fans of the series, not even to fans of the Walking Dead comics. The only noticeable positive about it is its voice acting.

Cities in Motion 2 offers needed immersion along with a well worked out economic model, and city processes interconnection, which will captivate you so much you are going to ignore the game's visible flaws.

Metal Gear series and hardcore beat 'em ups fans will fall in love with this one. They will even extend their experience by replaying the game. They will have no troubles at all with its highly-problematic camera along with its useless junk in the combat system. They will handle it. Gamers outside the fandom do not need to get excited, there is nothing interesting for them.

A decent management strategy game that is charming because of the managerial strategic principle, its unusual environment and humour. However, it suffers because digging to another floors is badly transparent, the game is not variable enough and it does not offer as much as the similar titles.

A promising update of the classical Paradox formula, trying to bring the Napoleonic wars back. It manages to bring it on, however, the result is not consistently good. Even though it is all about its multiplayer game here, it's not the thing worthy of remembering.

A mediocre third person shooter game that brings nothing new. On the contrary, it gets rid of the essential qualities that have made the previous installments successful. Furthermore, Alpha and Bravo are much more boring companions than Salem and Rios, and their Mexican crusade is lifeless as well.

One city. Five people. Thousands of zombies. One diary from which you'll learn everything about survival turn-based hell. Seven out of ten zombies recommend this.

A promising concept of managerial and turn-based strategy from the Prohibition in the United States era. However, its realisation is unfortunate. From the managerial point of view the game is too long, reminding Waiting for Godot. Entertaining fights are subsequently killed by repeating locations and unpolished cover system.

An independent experiment that has managed to free from the established genres, and out of its graphical and sound simplicity it has formed the experiences you cannot escape from.

A plain remake of the classic games, bringing just higher display resolution, remaining the original gameplay intact with all its good and bad. This is a thing for fans, collectors and gaming historians that are not afraid to go through their nostalgic memories.

Driftmoon is a fine choice, if you are craving for a joyful and trivial RPG that is not going to suck hundreds of hours of your life, nor it needs modern hardware to be playable. Just don't be too stern, because then you are going to pay attention to many flaws coming from its garage development.

For a while it's a frantic shooter game, then it's a touching confession, afterwards it is a parable about the ideological turmoil in America. The others would break it into pieces, but quantum physics and its creators that are hell-bent on going far than other big productions hold it firmly together.

End Game is a well-made ending of the DLC cycle for Battlefield 3 that is still fun as hell. Once more it offers four maps, however, this time in the outdoors. Moreover it adds two new modes expanding on its own large variety of things you can do in the game. On top of that it gives you a "nimble" motorbike.

Arcade escapades of the legendary raccoon master thief Sly Cooper can be recommended to the handheld owners, even though you won't find qualities of the previous installments. Still, it is one of the best easy-to-play games on PlayStation Vita, entertaining die-hard fans as well as the newcomers.

A good multiplayer beat 'em up action combat video game with a solid ground and a tutorial campaign for lone gamers. However, all of its colourful characters you may use to smash your faces up in a great number of multiplayer modes are lacking the most important thing - gamers themselves.

In the age of DLC, Blizzard serves up an expansion pack that easily outmatches many great games in its content. Viewed from all angles, Heart of the Swarm is extremely well-made and honest experience of the completely new Battle.net with essential innovations, a long full-blown campaign with a great ending, expanded possibilities of a single-player game or of a precise cutting multiplayer game. Also, let's not forget about Arcade, a powerful editor and first-rate optimization. If you like the classical RTS genre a bit, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm is the best thing you may get these days.

Find a key, pick up gold, load a shotgun and run. A child's play that's been transformed by 99 Levels to Hell into hardcore survival fight. A hell's name suits the game as a traditional number fifteen suits Bauer.

Full of verve, Kratos returns and wounds everyone and everything like in his past years. Do not worry about its multiplayer game, and enjoy the exceptional mythical opus written in the golden age of PS3. For the PlayStation 3 owners this is a must, for the others this is a very good reason to buy SONY's gaming machine.

An epinepfrine injection for twenty bucks is going to teach you how to drive sideways, and how to fit as many lights on your hood as you have bulbs in your flat. A rushed addition to the rushed Forza is a great fun, but with its compromises. Maybe, just maybe we would be talked into giving it eight, if there were twice as many cars.

An excellent DLC, intended for the Mass Effect fans, that is full of references it's not even possible. An interesting story, great dialogues and perfectly entertaining action, bringing nontraditional variegation into the game, are awaiting you. If you love ME, you must have this DLC.

Something that looked like a very decent restart of the meritorious open-ended city-building game series turned out to be as dull as ditchwater. Maybe, the new SimCity title will be a good game some day. Only if its cities are 4x - 5x bigger, if modders take charge of it, and the online component is working the way it should be working.

A good comeback of the most popular gaming heroine ever. Tomb Raider is a pleasing and relaxing thing that is not going to bore you. However, this is not a game you are going to remember in a few months as a something special.

This platformer is hot stuff for those seeking not complicated games. If you are content with a graphically cute easy jumping titles, Oozi is just for you.

Crysis 3 is an excellent ending of the series. It follows the previous installments, but because of its lesser experiments and changes it hasn't grown together with them completely. However, when the single-player campaign begins to stumble, there is this entertaining and well-functioning multi-player game with its adequate content of audiovisual orgy.

Poetics and esthetics of the French New Wave melted into the melancholic virtual reality, in which you may, or may not experience exceptional encounters.

Even though it could give a much better performance, it's still an outstanding JRPG for all the fans of the genre. It is a high-quality gaming title that will let you dream for nice long hours. You just have to forgive its bugs sometimes.

A DLC surprise for Battlefield 3. The Iranian environment devastated by an earthquake has created an excellent map pack along with an entertaining new mode and a nicely inventive crossbow. This DLC proves that Battlefield 3 has still things to offer, it is not depleted yet.

A fair shooter that's been lifted among the above-average titles by its impressive background and several action scenes. This is an outstanding tour for the Aliens (even Alien) fans; for the other gamers it's slightly problematic, still quite a tasty canapé.

Dead Space series has evolved and changed as well as its main protagonist. In Dead Space 3 there is no longer that lone and frightened engineer called Issac, armed with just a harmless cutter. This time he clears his way through darkness, frost, mutants along with Unitologists' limbs, with elegance of a world saviour expert. Dead Space 3 offers a different experience than its predecessors, which is not detrimental, on the contrary. Do not let its otherness discourage you.

Not a particularly tedious action game with hack 'n' slash principles will seize you with its randomly-generated locations, wit, challenge and unusual low price. Afterwards, however, the game will disappoint you with its mechanics and ton of bugs.

An audiovisually and musically impressive shoot 'em up with a space rocket that alters into the ultimate space transformer. However, the rest that would make the game better than your above average title is badly missing.

More suitable for women than for men. Rather for social networks fans than for those serious about sweat and sore muscles. If you are able to see through all the "buts" and "whys", you won't be disappointed, but delighted neither.

Rabbits messed up everything. Unentertaining and unbalanced minigames, even though with some good ideas here and there, or the game's entertaining elements are quite problematic. But the biggest problem is that the game's authors won't even let you play the minigames themselves.

A pumped-up hack and slash beat 'em up video game that is more than your average restart of the popular series. Dante has all those skeptics and mild optimists for breakfast in bringing first-rate action experience in a splendidly depicted world. "I am an Antichrist, I am an anarchist".

A small game, but a tricky and clever one that's been made by a video game industry legend who thinks he's still able to surprise you. He is, even though he makes mistakes sometimes.

A pleasant surprise for every gamer with any platform that wishes to try out entertaining arcade gameplay in Mario Kart fashion. There's nothing to criticize, just the framerate drops in multiplayer. Although this is an arcade classic, it is excellently worked out. All thumbs up.

Despite the fact that shining hoods and screaming engines are all there in the Ferrari Legends game, this is the biggest racing disappointment of the last year.

The Walking Dead series offers one of the most intense game story of recent years that is not hardcore on its gamers from the adventure point of view. So relax, seat yourselves and let the zombie-apocalyptic world suck you in.

Even though The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles does not reach a technology peak, its perfect story, humorous situations and interesting puzzles make up for it. It's a pity the game is so short.

An original simulator of fictitious ecosystem, based on genuine science, that's been attracting the inner explorer in you, well in fact your inner grower. You will experience all of this in an intelligent and in some places a very impressive mature sci-fi.

What looks like a rough experience is, most of the time, a goal-directed tough visit of an island, where you with a compass and a laboratory look for a way to cure your infection. Your enemies are fatigue, fever and darkness, or more precisely a fear of what is lurking within.

A not so good DLC that's been presented as a straightforward, almost tunnel-like action game with no bearing on the original events nor the characters at all. All in all, even if you take its bright moments of fun, strangely you feel the new chapter, or more precisely the new stand-alone short story (like from the Mass Effect 3 book), is pointless.

This is an above-average game for kids failing to prove it is able to use the technology potential behind it. Anyway, if you have children around the block fitting the age range, you cannot go wrong with Book of Spells.

Stealth Bastard is the platformer beyond compare. Out of its plain mechanics the game is able to offer interesting puzzles along with its extraordinary gameplay full of speedrun.

One of the most characteristic Rockstar games has not aged a bit. Even though its clichés as well as its design, that's outdated here and there, are striking now more than ever, it's still a hilarious ride with style and functioning gameplay crashing as little as possible. There is no way you can find the experience of the same value for a mobile platform than this polished classic title.

An excellent, but not independent, adventure game extraordinaire. Draws gamers to its high-quality dialogues, replayability and perfect sound design. However, its predictable story along with its user-unfriendliness, that is ignored just by contemporary retro fans, are dragging the game down.

What sounds as a simple idea, ends up being a complex game that simulates agricultural life from many perspectives and in the best way possible. Just do not look for perfection nor a revolution in it.

This is an interesting, but inconsistent mix of twelve mini-games that are meant to teach you how Wii U works. Nintendo Land is up to that task, however, the game is not entertaining enough.

Ubisoft scores with its depressive journey to zombie-infested London. We have to take into account this console because of a combination of slow pace, adrenaline-filled moments, and a unique death and control system proving there are mature games for Wii U.

A plain, but likable rescue of a princess that is not just counting on your nostalgia for an almost thirty years old original. Even though Mechner's sense of a clever design may be seen just here and there, the game is worth your little time (and money).

Natural Selection 2 is an interestingly tactical and multiplayer game for patient and thinking gamers. Currently, however, it suffers from the initial pain, and one of the reasons is a lack of new content. But all will be changed with the updates and with the gamers' creativity along with their mods of their liking. Still, the important thing is the game content right now, not only for its mechanics, but for its atmosphere and its loyal community that are fascinating as well.

Miner Wars 2081 suffers the indie games syndrome: it longs for the million dollars mainstream look. If there were no megalomaniac visions resulting in flaws and faults, we could probably play the best space shooter of the recent years.

If you find contemporary platformers too difficult, with Giana Sisters you are going to change your opinion, regardless of the game's unlimited number of lives. Giana Sisters is, despite its higher difficulty level, an interestingly designed and entertaining platform game, counting on your precise coordination and the ability to quickly change between the heroines and their worlds.

For the consumers of The Elder Scrolls universe this is a very good excuse to come back. For the Twilight fans this is a vivid experience of the vampirish soul. For the rest of you the game is offering the content that is not going to change your leave it or love it relationship with the original title.

The Unfinished Swan is a beautifully crafted, unconventional, sophisticated and provocative game denying the gameplay stereotype by a constant surprising of a gamer. The game is resisting to deplete all of its interesting themes in quite possibly the most annoying way - it ends itself in the middle of the road, at the place where the gamer is willing to submit to it completely.

New Super Mario Bros U is going to teach you to not worry about turtles nor squirrels, but to love mushrooms. You don't believe it? Then try yourself this Wii U launch title, and have fun - solo or with someone.

The game creators did not think it through, and gamers can tell. They remade the graphics into HD (Hell & Damnation), but that is all that counts. What remains is: non-functioning multiplayer, copy & paste of the original outdated game design, and the overall dullness along with many small-sized flaws.

Epic Mickey 2 is a textbook example of a bad game made by highly experienced author like Warren Spector. Very bad level design, an incoherent storyline, technical issues, boring cooperative gameplay and a dull AI resulting in fail. The only truly positive thing about the game is its Czech localization, including the Czech voice acting on the PC version.

Hotline Miami is proof that it is possible to create a fresh and addictive action game, even with the game's emphasis on retro. At the same time it evokes truly human feelings the modern-day shooters die trying to deliver.

A complicated game mechanics title that's obviously suited for gamers in love with medieval battles. If it is your love, you will clench your teeth and the gameplay will reward you with a fantastic atmosphere and a rich experience. The game's variations are few, so it is basically two groups of fighters slitting each others throats. Nonetheless, expanding the gameplay experience is a likelihood.

A pseudo-medieval multiplayer action game that's definitely above-average. However, it's pretty middle-of-the-road, it's something between an instant mild entertainment and a challenge for hardcore gamers. The game clearly has the potential to be something more, but the creators' unskillful design decisions made Chivalry more for the first group of gamers.

The new Hitman delivers what he promised. He's a worthy opponent to Corvo from Dishonored. There is no other stealth action game with such a fantastic presentation and a cinematographic approach. The gameplay is almost as good as in the previous instalments; however, it's a pity the story is weak, the ending is rushed, and the AI is not compelling.

An inconsistent spin-off of the popular series for a powerful handheld is like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. There are moments when Aveline shows off her face, but there are also moments of her kicking your face with some technical issues. At the end of the day the game is above average - sometimes it's great, sometimes it's frustrating. It could have hit the spot, if more care had been put into it.

A very pleasant surprise. The game's single-player is scripted all the way, but the experience is huge, it's rightly put together, it's even entertaining. On the other hand, the game's multiplayer has its qualities without a doubt, it's even trying to be revolutionary in a way. The undead are beginning to lose their breath, however, after many years this is the Call of Duty title I am willing to recommend.

Far Cry 3 expands the open world possibilities of the game series. Very well-written characters of a scripted main plot are fine addendum of never-ending action and tactical madness. The moment you begin to feel an adventure on a tropical island, you are going to forgive the authors their inconsistently presented experience.

The fourth World of Warcraft expansion set is trying to get back all of those souls lost in last months, even years. At the end of the day it manages to get them back, letting them forget Cataclysm that's been dull as ditch water.

Quotation forthcoming.

King's Bounty is The King's Bounty - the fast-paced turn-based strategy game with the funny story and hundreds of tactical options. For Might & Magic followers and for those seeking a good entertainment this game is a must, even though it's all the same as the previous installments.

A solid action RPG with tons of great mechanics. However, the mechanics have been over-combined, the game is very difficult and the controls should have been tuned up.

Sports Interactive probably told each other: If it ain't broke, don't fix it; therefore the main mode has been primarily face-lifted. Thanks to its new look the game is still the football management-simulation video game cream of the crop. Even the series newcomers and novice managers are lured into the football management-simulation experience because of the simplified and sped-up Classic mode.

This adventure game is unorthodox. It has a controversial theme along with its inconsistent gameplay. The creators have failed to fulfill the original concept, nevertheless all of you the old B-horror movies lovers are going to have fun. Besides, if you love playing the "wrong" side having sadistic tendencies, there's no time to hesitate.

Just an average kind of a racing game. Criterion has meddled the things that work to no avail. Has it been an order from EA or have they been trying to take the series apart to prepare a market for a true Burnout comeback? A conspiracy theory? Maybe, but nothing changes the fact that the Most Wanted game is dull as dishwater.

A different, but superb Forza title nonetheless. The game does not harm the series name; on the contrary, it expands on stiff racing circuits with a dense public traffic panorama. Even though it has its flaws and the game shows compromises in it, as their first attempt Playground Games own this specific sub-genre. However, no daydreaming to you Playground Games, you need to drive away from your competition, especially from your Turn 10 fellows.

The most extensive installment of the entire game series brings a spectacular adventure filled with land and sea battles. It's great to look at it and the traditional sandbox is just fine' however, this third volume's many very important qualities of the entire game series along with its game system have been lost without the new features making up for it. The less, the better, and look before you leap should have been the proverbs of the day. Assassin's Creed III is undoubtedly a very good game, but I cannot shake off the feeling it could have been much much better.

Master Chief along with Cortana have returned in all their splendor proving all doubters have been wrong. The Halo series is stepping into a new era showing its great potential in single-player and multiplayer games. From a narration point of view this is not a masterpiece; however, the intensive game content makes it up to you. A pity there is not more of it in the single-player game.

This game is uninteresting, badly-written and maybe even more badly put together. The game code is average in every way, and like it's not enough you'll have your game experience ruined by many many flaws along with many unfinished things on top of that. If you are losing faith in modern FPS actions, do not play this - you will feel much worse about the genre.

Of Orcs and Men looks like a promising and fair game, but only for a couple of minutes and thanks to the effort that's been put into the perfect stylization. Afterwards, there's just boring gameplay you will try to endure because of the storyline pieces. The truly important game elements have been killed to no avail by an attempt for innovation that is a failure.

Rayman Jungle Run serves the fans or the ones with iPads, iPhones, Androids passing by. Well worked-out control system along with groovy audiovisuals render homage to the game and hardware. If it's possible, do not hesitate. Whoopee!

Grand Theft Auto along with the whole 80's culture is brazenly imitated by this game. Still, it's an incredibly original title, it's even retro lovers gem. If you remember 8bit, you should not be discouraged by some flaws and the high difficulty level.

The last and the most hellish fiend is dead, and you find out there's still light outside. Well, nothing to do about it: a remastered Doom trilogy hasn't turned out well. New game bonus is short and dull, and the rest of the stuff that we already know has been remastered in a way no one wishes. Doom 3: BFG Edition is only exclusive because of its price.

After a decade of Cortex Command development we've lived to see its "final" version. That alone is a cause to rejoice. Unfortunately, you will be merry until the very moment when you find out the game is still a semi-finished product with a hint of great gameplay.

This game doesn't prove to be the next Fable adventure, however, for those Kinect lovers it's still an enjoyable, although forgettable, experience.

If you hear someone claiming a mouse and a keyboard are the most suited controls for a PC, turn on Rocksmith for him. This educational game proves that you simply can't beat a guitar with some funny buttons. It certainly has its magic, but you won't probably become a rocking mage. However, as an accessory for an amateur guitarist it serves perfectly.
