    Not too challenging, not too long, with some gameplay flaws and not very original, but all in all Nano Assault EX can entertain who is looking for a quick, easy pick-up shooter. Circle Pad Pro is supported and recommended.

    If you appreciated the two previous DLCs, you should also like this one: it has maybe less personality, but a little more substance, and there's enough content for the low price. The Sleeping Dogs formula is becoming a bit tired, though.

    After the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki, Team Ninja seems to be victim of a curse: like a reverse Mida's touch, everything that Yosuke Hayashi comes in contact with suddenly turns to mediocre. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus unfortunately follows the same trend: instead of a portable rendition of an astonishing action game, here you'll find a questionable porting that, despite the interesting extras, is definitely not comparable to the original.

    An official WRC rally spin-off with enjoyable powerslide arcade racing mechanics, which partially skids over an unbalanced power-up system and a weak single-player mode.

    Luigi's back, in his best game yet. Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon is a joyful adventure, remarkably polished, easy to fall in love with and full of stuff to discover and to play with. Visually outstanding, the game surpasses - in every way - the original Gamecube game, but the multiplayer mode is still archaic.

    A game that is all about the great feeling of riding the dirt bike, overcoming obstacles, never giving up and above all — having fun. A tiny-but-great game.

    As a direct comparison Sniper Elite V2 is a better shooter, but if you can't be without a sniper rifle (and considering the price) this City Interactive FPS can give you some splash of fun.

    Thieves in Time slyly manages to broaden the horizons of its traditional platform gameplay adding lots and lots of mini-games, which become proper missions featuring a high number of different game mechanics, all (too) easy to play with and enjoy. More quantity than quality, though.

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is strongly... Japanese. It requires patience, time and skill, and its steep learning curve can be too hard for the average gamer. However, the reward for understanding its mechanics is huge, and the game is able to offer countless hours of offline and online entertainment. It's an excellent deal even if you already played Monster Hunter Tri on Wii.

    Under a cover of GTA free roam mechanics you can find a Wii U exclusive that tries its best to realize children’s dreams of a whole LEGO City to play with, guided by a lovely main story which slowly builds up all its hilarious parody lines and gameplay pieces. Some fits still need work, but the construction seems already quite solid.

    Heart of the Swarm is not a revolution in the genre, but is what each StarCraft fan was expecting. It is an awesome RTS powered by amazing RPG elements, and its gameplay is able to bring the gamer’s mood to the next level, by unleashing some terrific cutscenes that drive the plot till the end.

    End Game does not manage to fully capture the feeling and core mechanics of Battlefield 3 and a poor map design makes this last DLC a below-par content for an excellent multiplayer FPS.

    It surely wasn't an easy task, yet People Can Fly proved their talent by creating a highly energetic, madly entertaining and brutally fun new entry in the Gears of War series. A surprisingly bold episode that's full of little big revolutions, one that despite a few flaws is surely a must-buy for all the action fans. Fenix & Co. might have recently lost their father and creator, yet the future of Sera seems brighter than ever in the hands of the Polish dev team.

    The new, HD version of Under Defeat keeps intact the charm of the original game, but fails in bringing a touch of modernity that would have made the game a must-buy for the shoot'em up fans.

    While the GlassBox engine is definitely an exciting direction for a city builder, its implementation is still lacking. Strange behaviours and problems in pathfinding are more than frequent, and the area available to build your city is too small. Online features are entertaining, but they don't justify all the limitations of the always-online system.

    Ascension is exactly the God of War you'd expect: colossal in its scale, technically majestic, insanely gruesome and fun to play. A huge production that shows the brute horsepower of the PS3, while denoting the weaknesses of a series that has reached its peak and needs a breathe of fresh air.

    Ratloop's Rocketbirds: Hardiboiled Chicken give to a rather conventional shooter/platforming game some unexpected depth, in the form of an interesting storyline and characters introspection. What stands out is its value production, more than brilliant level design or brand new ideas. A good choice for any PS Vita gamer out there.

    A small, simple, smart and very well made game, perfect for portable gaming, with a really nice atmosphere and good longevity. Nothing particularly new, though.

    The latest entry in the Sword of the Stars series is a flawed dungeon-crawler, with uninspiring 16 bit style graphics and questionable game-design choices. Kerberos' challenge is not fair, even for the die hard fans of the genre: if you want to have some fun, play FTL: Faster Than Light instead.

    Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army is a stand-alone expansion and as such should be treated. In short, do not expect a new installment in the Rebellion franchise with plot, characters, missions and stealth oriented gameplay. The final score is just an average of the single-player experience and cooperative multiplayer, where Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army shows all its real value.

    Real Racing 3 is the best driving simulator for iPhone, iPad and Android systems, period. The "free to play" model, though, might be too aggressive for some players, but the choice is up to you: play it for free, with patience, and you have a game that can squeeze in your everyday's routine. Or you can just open your wallet and cut some (pretty expensive) corners.

    Mirror of Fate is not your typical handheld Castlevania adventure: with a more predictable map exploration and a weapon and magic variety reduced to its lowest terms, it sets itself as a portable version of the Lords of Shadow saga. Mercury Steam has put some distance between what Konami and Igarashi achieved in the past ten+ years: this is a somewhat good action/fighting game, but a less-then-stellar Castlevania experience, plagued by a questionable frame rate.

    Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 unleashes a tornado of ninja adrenaline that will strike the fans with all the power of its original story and artistic glory, even if some persistently unbalanced combat dynamics and roster incoherence will upset someone online. Thus said, not the perfect storm, yet.

    Vergil's Downfall has the misfortune of coming right after DmC: this DLC is by no means a bad add-on, yet it's not quite on par with the surprisingly high standards of the original game by Ninja Theory. If you feel like fighting some more, give it a go, but just don't expect Vergil to be as satisfying and appealing as Dante.

    Tomb Raider is a frantic and largely enjoyable rollercoaster ride. Crystal Dynamics has clearly learned the Uncharted lesson, giving birth to a brand new Lara. Maybe a tad easy and not so deep, but thrilling and exciting nonetheless.

    On the PC, Crysis 3 is certainly better compared to the console versions, with Cry Engine 3 able to give the game true visual splendor, without asking for exorbitant hardware resources.

    The long awaited porting of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is finally available in Europe on PlayStation Vita, with new content and gameplay additions. Persona 4 Golden improves every aspect of the original game and offers an intense and rewarding game experience. A must-buy for Vita owners and one of the best Japanese RPGs ever.

    If you explore, collect everything and complete all the quests, Crysis 3 turns out to be a rewarding and sufficiently long-lived shooter... and the visuals are simply astonishing. Do not expect, however, a big step forward compared to its predecessor: for that, perhaps, we will have to wait for Crysis 4.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is frankly a weird game, one that's not so easy to crack: excessively built around an eventually underwhelming concept, you'll never truly hate it, but you won't either love as much as you'd like to.

    Special Forces: Team X lacks in style, but the precision of its core mechanics is undeniable. It's an interesting third person shooter, able to bring some fun even if it doesn't represent a step forward for the genre. A good effort that shows some flaws and bugs that need to be fixed as soon as possible.
