The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is a surprisingly enchanting ARPG from an incredibly talented team. Neocore has originally implemented all the core hack 'n' slash mechanics typical of the genre combining quality and quantity, form and substance, single and co-op play, at an incredibly advantageous and affordable price.

Prime World: Defenders has some good ideas, but the execution of its core mechanics lacks of dedication. If you are a fan of tower defense genre, you can get some fun, but beware: grinding between missions is required and can be a boring chore.

Call of Juarez returns to the traditional Wild West territories, offering some well-balanced FPS mechanics, 14 linear yet nicely cel-shaded gunslinger levels, plus a really charismatic and chatty protagonist and narrator, for just a fistful of dollars.

Something was lost in the transition from the 3DS to the couch: despite a very (and a little too much) faithful conversion, Resident Evil Revelations shows drawbacks and missteps that were absent in the stellar, original release.

A simple platform game, clearly thought for mobile gaming and not completely suited for a home console. Nevertheless, it is entertaining and the remixed levels are pretty challenging.

Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move provides a ton of variety and a consistent level of challenge. It's a simple, accessible and entertaining puzzle game that combines Nintendo craftsmanship with a competitive price tag.

Like the first episode, Anomaly 2 changes the point of view of tower defense genre, with cleverness and a wonderful game design. Blasting away tons of alien forces it's always fun: doing it using the brain, well, it's a different story.

The original idea to combine footballer’s life simulation dynamics with football manager’s management mechanics is surely intriguing, but not fully developed, failing to entertain for more than a season or two. It is like trying to get Balotelli and Mourinho to coexist: lots of fun for a while, bone-crushing in the long run.

One of the finest Wii games make its "return" on the 3DS. Monster Games managed to squeeze the brilliant level design and the epic challenges of the original game in this 3DS port. Some minor visual problems keep it a step away from the original Retro Studios game, but it's absolutely still worth playing.

This series in growing with time and The Oracle is the best episode so far, fresh and even bold in the way it approaches narration and puzzles. If you liked the first two episodes, you definitely should get this one.

An interesting RPG, just like the original Dragon's Dogma. The new content and gameplay tweaks add to the experience, but the underlying faults of the game still stand. It's a beautiful idea and a very promising universe: we definitely look forward to a proper sequel.

Metro: Last Light is probably the most ambitious and demanding Deep Silver production and, in terms of graphics and visual impact, this sequel has little to envy in other triple A shooters like Crysis 3. The game stands for the beauty of the 4A Engine, for the settings and for some cool horror passages, but in terms of gameplay lacks in too many areas: enemies' AI is poor, the levels are linear and scripted, there's almost no interaction with the game world.

Thomas Was Alone is a minimalist platform about jumping and friendship, a gently challenging puzzle game and a perfect story that makes you care about characters that are nothing more than coloured rectangles. It's quite a masterpiece.

A cute little avatar-based racing game that provides easy and appealing gameplay. The multiplayer modes are definitely the best aspect of the game, and will provide many more hours of fun than the single player alone. Although the game lacks some polish, Motocross Madness is a fast-paced motocross title that offers a great challenge for casual gamers and replay value for the price.

Wander of the Dragons puts a glorious name in a pit of shame. Nothing's working in this Korean remake of a '80s classic: the game is so broken that it is almost unbearable. Forget its existence as soon as possible.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has everything you would expect from a perfect DLC. It's different from the main game for atmosphere, settings and game world, it is durable, the price is fully justified and gameplay doesn't betray the original Far Cry 3 model.

Soul Sacrifice is a truly excellent game, very playable and accurate in every detail. It inherits from its genre some degree of repetitiveness at times, it is a little slow at the start, but keep playing it to unveil one of the best experiences you can live... not only on a PS Vita.

In this Extended Edition Dreampainters has given a more professional look to Anna. Now the Italian adventure is also less cryptic and more understandable, although many plot points are still unclear and some puzzles must be solved again with a lot of trial & error.

Signal Ops tries something unusual, showing a different point of view, but the strategy-game and the first person shooter components don't seem to get along. Due to the clumsy interface, the game's pace is slow and uninspired: a pity, considering atmosphere and setting.

With its old-school mechanics and feel, ShootMania Storm will be welcomed by all those players who are looking for a no-frills jump-and-gun experience. Simple and highly competitive, it might be a bit too hardcore for some, with its strong focus on the e-sport scene.

Sacred Citadel is a modern and compelling brawler, that ultimately turns up to be one of the most faithful game in its genre. SouthEnd managed to capture part of the magic of the good ol' Golden Axe, but there's some problem that keeps the game away from a must-buy status.

The beginning with the naval engagements is compelling, some missions are well thought out and taking the role of this new Connor is like to control a superhero. Even the New York settings are not bad, but with a short longevity and a narrative climax that never seems to arrive, the final score is not the most exciting.

Riptide remains "more of the same" of Dead Island and innovations are very few and not well-aimed. But if you liked the previous adventure in Banoi, and you can withstand the horrible respawning system, you'll have fun in Palanai too.

Picross e2 brings another sleeve of compelling nanograms on your 3DS at an affordable price. A perfect fit for keeping your head busy during otherwise boring trip to/from work/school.

Launching MMOs is always difficult, doing it on PC and consoles (and TV!) at the same time is almost impossible. But in the end Defiance defies early critics and lands some good punches: the smooth surfacing PvE and PvP FPS mechanics are intriguing enough to turn a blind eye on not-so-cutting-edge A.I. and visuals. Just give Trion a chance.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams on Xbox 360 is still a good nostalgic platform game that offers a nice challenge. Slightly longer loading times and the absence of the two free DLCs makes this version a bit less desirable, but still good for players that don't have a gaming PC.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is another very good reason to own a 3DS. It's the same huge game you can play on Wii U, and local coop is a blast. Online support is laughable, but the game is still a wonder. Having to choose, though, the Wii U version is superior.

Don't get fooled by its cuteness: Evoland is a bad game, unable to fulfill its promises. Behind a bunch of jokes, there's an old, ugly, clumsy role-playing game, unable to bring any justice to its source materials.
