Do you sometimes miss the golden days of JRPGs? Perhaps Tales of Hearts R, the remake of the 2008 DS-version only released in Japan, can ease the pain? If nothing else, it is a fun and easygoing experience, where fights are hectic yet controllable, leveling up is super-fun instead of time consuming and the music is brilliantly mind-blowing. Tales of Hearts R is not trying to change the genre but it doesn't disappoint.

An action game in a sandbox. As usual, the Nanosuit allows for interesting gameplay dynamics where both stealth and all out action are good approaches. There are also some interesting online game modes that makes good use of the Nanosuit's abilities.

It's safe to say that the combination of Wii and on rails shooter doesn't exactly spark excitement for a new product, and as such a game Dead Space Extraction has received a healthy dose of doubt from fans of the original game. But the fact of the matter is that Extraction is a great game true to the formula and atmosphere of the original Dead Space. Despite the technical limitations of the Wii the presentation in Extraction is great, and had it not been for the short length of the storyline and lack of an online mode we'd have no problem raising the grade a notch. Nevertheless, this is one of the best games on the Wii and the best on rails shooter yet.

For starters, this is not the Need for Speed of yore. Shift represents a true attempt from EA to create an authentic racing experience, a successful attempt that brings the Need for Speed name out of the shadows and into our racing hearts. Shift is meant to be experienced from the cockpit view where the rattling of your head at collisions and the blurring of your vision at high speeds work together to immerse the player in the experience. Neither the career mode nor the online mode are especially varied and the appeal of the game is limited to those with an affection for realistic racing experiences. Nevertheless, Need for Speed: Shift is a return to form for the franchise.

Dante's Inferno mimics the formula established by the God of War series, and for the most part it works great. The first half of the game is a bit underwhelming and the plot is weak in delivery and execution, but the overall experience is salvaged by the fact that Visceral has implemented a great system for character development that offers a great variety in combat strategy.

It's a well-done MMA simulator with easy to use controls, but with a bit lacking career mode. Compared to UFC Undisputed there's a lack of known fighters, but EA Sports MMA should still be able to give the title-holder a match for MMA fans.

Ninja Theory are calling the DMC shots now and they're doing it well. The fighting mechanics are a little bit easier to master and perhaps not as deep as before, but on the other hand the storytelling is improved with skillfully crafted cutscenes. Put up with a rather dull introduction and you're in for a great game.

The South Park add-on is yet another great addition to the Zen Pinball platform. The main table is filled with memorable lines, classic characters and fun missions that South Park fans will love. The second table is a bit low on content, but it’s still entertaining and good for newcomers. It’s a shame that the table don’t include more of the series offensive humor, but it’s a small complaint on an otherwise excellent package.

Resistance 2 is a great game in every way. The presentation is slick, the pacing is great, the story gains momentum after a somewhat slow start and the multiplayer is as meaty as it is fun. Even though this game lacks that little extra something to distinguish it from it's competitors this fall it's still fantastic experience and the robust multiplayer mode with support for up to 60 players is reason enough to give this title a try.

Beyond the beautiful graphic you have seen most of it before but if that doesn’t concern you then you will enjoy the gameplay and the beautiful graphics for many hours.

Modnation Racers is in many aspects the best kart racer we've played. The controls are spot on, building tracks is easy and fun, the presentation is playful and attractive and the overall tone of the game is a pleasing one. With support for twelve players online, or four players locally on one console, this game is above and beyond the competition in the multiplayer arena. The only major issue to be found here are far too lengthy load times, an issue that shouldn't deter you from experiencing this excellent kart racer.

Even though the adventure genre nowadays is filled with great games, Grim Fandango feels almost as good as it did 1998. The remastered version has some technical flaws that should’ve been taken care of and the puzzles aren’t always on top, but besides that this is a game that no one should miss. Easily one of the best adventures of all time.

A crazy adventure filled with humor, charm and entertaining gameplay elements when the rabbit’s tries to reach the moon in a shopping cart.

On the surface Trials HD doesn't seem to offer all that much. Somewhat shoddy bikes and exaggerated physics are supplemented by over the top trial and error obstacle courses. Making your way through these courses is no walk in the park, but the overall gameplay is so fun and addictive you'll try to beat them over and over again. This one of the true gems available on Xbox Live.

The story might be pale and the characters are bland and boring, but it is easy to forgive since it is so damn fun to free Kyrat. It does not matter if you prefer to sneak around and hide in bushes and trees, or just charge into an enemy camp on an elephants back. Far Cry 4 will not be a classic that people will talk about years to come, but it will entertain you greatly while it lasts.

After a couple of slow hours in the beginning, Borderlands 2 starts for real. It's filled to the brim with guns and humor, complete with co-op, classes, skill trees and DLC on the horizon. This is a game that will keep you occupied for a long time.

When it comes to playing soccer with your friends at home, few games can rival this version of PES. The tempo is higher and the player movement is a tad bit more realistic that it's new gen console counterparts. But with few additions and a lot of licenses lost it's hard to recommend this to anyone. Shame on Konami for basically letting us pay for the same content as last year.

The portable version Shovel Knight is in any ways as good as the others, even better as the both the graphics and the mechanics works perfect on a small screen. On the negavition side there are some badly designed levels and to many trial and error moments, but for the most part Shovel Knight is a good reminder that games were a bit more rewarding back in the days.

This is the game that Sid Meyer always wanted to make, and it shows. It retains the core elements that makes the series great, but with greater focus on battles and with a faster pace. An intuitive interface and great graphics makes this title a blast to play, and the flaws aren't enough to deter even the most seasoned gamers.

Soul Calibur V is for both new and experienced players. It makes it easy to for you learn the basics of the game, but if you want to win against skilled opponents then you better start practicing. Most moves are really cool, but juggles are somewhat overused and some characters are just horrible.

Wolfenstein: The New Order isn’t trying to revolutionize the genre in any way, but it’s a really entertaining and action packed game. The campaign is just long enough and also unusually well written. There are some things that doesn’t work that well, but most of it can be forgiven thanks to the great amount of fun.

Revelations returns to the roots of Resident Evil with more puzzles and less action. The graphics are fantastic for a 3DS game and the atmosphere is rich. The controls are not perfect but they work better with the Circle Pad Pro.

Mario Kart 8 follows the well-known structure in the series and gives us a steady amount of game modes, even though Battle Mode isn’t nearly as good as it used to be. With a bunch of new and memorable courses it’s hard to not recommend Mario Kart 8, both for the fans of the previous titles as well as for newcomers.

The last game with Professor Layton as it’s main characters offers great puzzles and improvements to the series core gameplay. Level5 could probably have invested more in the cut-scenes and voice acting since the dialogue text kind of drags. But in all, a must for lovers of Layton.

Solve puzzles by changing perspective in this charming, retro styled plattformer. The puzzles are ingenious, but it is in the presentation that Fez really shines.

Juan the luchador is back in a bigger and better adventure than ever before. More levels, a new boss and even deeper combat are more than enough new features to make you want to play this game again. The enemies are still too few though and the new elite-skeletons are just annoying to fight.

This is a great game, simple as that. It's filled to the brim with content and charming fun-filled adventures topped with a good gameplay. Not much to complain about really, except for the notoriously imprecise shake controls.

A huge production that might be one of the greatest game worlds ever with amazing soundtrack and fantastic animations. But under the extremely well-polished surface hides a somewhat broken control and a very linear and too-prolonged experience.
