Not a movie, nor a videogame, David Cage's Beyond: Two Souls lacks the defining elements of both kinds of media. On one hand, we have confusing and obnoxious controls; on the other, a plot full of movie clichés and weak characters. While the game demonstrates great art work and conceptualization, its frequent glitches and frame rate issues ruin some of its best moments. At the end, Beyond: Two Souls does not fulfill the promise made by Heavy Rain, and it remains as a flawed, albeit interesting experiment.

While Rain offers interesting puzzles, in the end, it falls short and its ideas are never fully developed. The concept is simple: you are only visible when exposed to the rain. The theme and the atmosphere of the game are gorgeous, unique and exciting, the problem is the execution: the story lacks pacing and it gets dull sometimes. Other than that, Rain it's worth a download. It should be the perfect companion for a rainy day.

While the new engine, based on Kojima Production's FOX Engine, allowed a visual improvement, it also helped us realize that the game's physics are in need of a little renovation. The game modes are basically the same as in previous editions, but the real improvements were made in its core mechanics. Obsessive players are going to be able to control every detail of the game, but newcomers might feel overwhelmed by all the new possibilities that the complex control scheme allows.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD is the definitive version of the classic GameCube title. With HD graphics, lighting effects, a new soundtrack and gameplay and technical enhancements, this remake brings a memorable and emotional experience to a new generation.

Although lacking a bit in terms of innovation when compared with previous iterations, FIFA 14 remains a well balanced, profound and addictive soccer experience, that will be enjoyed by rookies and veterans alike.

Foul Play runs under the premise of being an action filled theater play, so you'll have to keep your audience entertained at all times. The level and character design helps maintain this illusion, and even though you'll see the actor's faces beneath the monster's costumes, the cheering of the crowd will be enough motivation to don your monocle and kick some demonic butt.

With Grand Theft Auto V Rockstar has delivered one of the most amazing and awe-inspiring games of this generation. Even if you are not a fan of the series, the incredible level of detail, the three main character switching mechanic, the bank heists and the hilarious story make this game a must.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix offers a great opportunity to live the beginnings of an epic saga. Even if it didn't include Chain of Memories and 358/2, this would be a great experience for all those that missed its launch 10 years ago and for those who did play it and fell in love with its story and characters.

Disney Infinity suffers from unpolished game mechanics and it's world creation tools are somewhat limited, but at the end it offers a fun and enjoyable experience. Each playset has its own special game mechanic and that helps to add variety to the game, specially the ship battles in the Pirates of the Caribbean set.

The Wonderful 101 is an absolutely spectacular and memorable game that manages to represent the authentic spirit of arcade games, the original spark that gives life to great video games. This is not an easy game, nor does it facilitate the player's experience, but it reflects so much authenticity, life and pride for the trade that all minor imperfections are more or less forgiven.

Rayman Legends does not offer a real revolution for the platform genre, but it proves that there is still room to be creative and to develop fresh ideas. Unfortunately, even though the game tries to be innovative in different ways, not all of them were really successful. This might not be a game changer, like Origins, but it is a nice continuation of the aesthetics and game design proposed by it.

Puppeteer offers a great experience, full of memorable and charismatic characters and awesome graphics, but one of its best features is that it really puts you right in the spotlight of a little puppet theater, where you play the roles of the star and the entertainer at the same time. This is one of those games that we'll remember for a long time and that reminded us that innovation is still possible in video games.

Since it was launched, the PS Vita has been longing for a game like this. Not only Killzone: Mercenary a good FPS, but it is also a solid addition to the scarce lineup of games in this portable console. Leaving aside some problems with the running and covering controls, the game offers a pleasant experience that we can't really see happening on another console.

Diablo III is a great game for anybody who enjoys fast-paced games with action-packed fights. Blizzard did an excellent job taking this game to consoles. Fans will enjoy playing with the new control scheme and newcomers will have a blast experiencing Diablo III for the first time.

TMNT: Out of the Shadows is a game that promised a lot but fell short of the epic experience that the fans were waiting for. The dialog's lack charm and quickly turns old and repetitive, coop drop in/drop out is frustrating, and AI is clumsy and weak. Even though our favorite masked reptiles look great, Out of the Shadows just doesn't cut it as a TMNT game.

It's not that common that a game as extravagant as this one manages to offer such a fun story, deep gameplay and a great soundtrack. Volition focused on offering a great dose of raw fun and they succeeded. As the last game of the series, Saints Row IV delivers everything that we wanted to see in it and even a bit more.

Even though it has a few flaws, Tales of Xillia surprised us with its freshness. It might not be a must have, but it's a solid game that strongly represents its franchise, and above all, Tales of Xillia is a game that anyone can pick up and enjoy.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist offers a complete and balanced experience. Its campaign and multiplayer modes are filled with fun and addictive gameplay, specially Mercs vs. Spies. The stealth mechanics are great and they make this game the best Splinter Cell of this generation.

Without a doubt, the best thing about this remake is its presentation, which has been carefully crafted. We feel completely satisfied about the way the developer managed the difficulty of the game: the last level of the remake was more demanding than any of the original levels.

Dragon's Crown is a perfect mixture between addictive gameplay and a friendly combat system that can be a real challenge for those seeking to submerge themselves in this beautiful world. In this time filled with mediocre beat'em ups, Dragon's Crown really sticks out.

Charlie Murder is an extraordinary beat'em up that will offer you endless hours of action filled and fun gameplay. Its extraordinary soundtrack will submerge you in an apocalyptic punk world ravaged by the forces of evil and your mission is to send them back to the Netherlands. Ska Studios outdid themselves and created some of the most memorable characters in this genre's history.

Madden NFL 25 still suffers from some presentation and technical setbacks; however, a polished physics engine, the owner mode for connected careers and the most responsive running controls in the history of the franchise make it the best iteration of the series so far.

LEGO: Legends of Chima: Laval%u2019s Journey offers a nice game experience and a very entertaining adventure, specially to those who are already fans of the LEGO video game series.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team continues the innovation of the cherished RPG franchise, even though this isn't its best exponent. The game's formula has been refined, but some of its aspects could have been better exploited. The script is solid but it doesn't compare to the hilarious material that we've found on previous installments. Nevertheless, the game joins the long list of must have titles for the Nintendo 3DS.

Every punch and combo delivered in Zeno Clash II will make you appreciate it a bit more and, although the game suffers from a poorly developed narrative and feels a bit unpolished, you'll find yourself enjoying a really good time, especially if you liked the first game.

Quotation forthcoming.

Clash in the Clouds offers a great opportunity to delve in those action filled moments we all loved in the original game. Although killing wave after wave of enemies in 4 different maps might get old relatively quickly, the implementation of the Blue Ribbons adds variety to gameplay and require a higher strategy level.

From the microscopic point of view of the Pikmin to the macroscopic space scenario of the astronauts, Pikmin 3 is a wild ride where resource administration is essential to the gameplay. This title was crafted with care, and this is evident in almost every aspect. However, we would have liked to see more experimentation and objective diversity; basically the kind of thing shown in one the last stages, which turned out to be a lot of fun.
