    Game & Wario
    Game & Wario is an excellent choice for those who are new in the series and are looking for instant and simple fun. Nevertheless, people who are already familiar with the Wario Ware franchise, will be disappointed with the lack of originality in the mini-game design and may get bored pretty soon.

    Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World
    Brave New World offers a great deal of content and new elements that makes the gameplay so much more dynamic, while maintaining everything that made Civilization V a great game. The real beauty of this expansion lays in the fact that you can actually use art and culture as the weapons through which you can attain world domination.

    State of Decay
    State of Decay is a fun game that puts you right in the middle of a zombie outbreak and forces you to stop and plan your survival strategy. If you've ever asked yourself what would you do in a zombie apocalypse scenario, this game will offer you a different perspective. And yes, you'll find a few annoying bugs and glitches, but you'll also find a compelling and powerful gaming experience.

    New Super Luigi U
    With New Super Luigi U, Nintendo showed us once more that game design is its main concern. Even though it seems that the developers only tweaked small bits of the game, like Luigi's movement or the length of some levels, at the end those small changes really impact the whole experience. This DLC adds a lot of content to the original game, although some things feel rushed, like the story that justifies Luigi's being the protagonist in the first place.

    Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014
    Magic 2014 is a good example of a franchise that keeps improving and adding new challenges and experiences, although its own nature hasn't allowed the developer to make a significant gameplay advance.

    Thunder Wolves
    A very brief and shallow experience that will entertain you for a few hours at best.

    The Walking Dead: 400 Days
    400 Days is an experience that no fan of the first season of The Walking Dead should miss. Although it's a shorter experience and lacks the same intensity, drama and shocking moments of Lee's and Clementine's story, it maintains that unique concept and freedom to decide the fate of the characters and those around them.

    Animal Crossing: New Leaf
    More than a game, Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a habit. We are not afraid to say that New Leaf is the best title in the series. The developer managed to exploit the 3DS' capabilities to offer a game experience that, while not groundbreaking, feels very polished and handcrafted. Players capable of enjoying noncompetitive games will find in New Leaf hundreds of hours of content and a lovely place to relax and spend time. This game is a very good reason to own a Nintendo 3DS.

    Company of Heroes 2
    Company of Heroes 2 is a solid RTS that will capture your attention from the beginning. Its fun and immersing gameplay guarantees that you will come back several times to fulfill the challenges and unlock the more than 300 achievements it has to offer.

    Remember Me
    Remember Me is a game that tries to be a lot of things, but fails in its execution, the only noteworthy thing is its story, and even that really captivates you until the end, due to an unpredictable twist.

    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger offers little challenge for experienced players, although its fun level design and high replay value make the experience worthwhile.

    The Last of Us
    Naughty Dog has proven itself again as one of the most accomplished development teams in the world. With The Last of Us they have given us a consistent and interesting world that is supported by practically all of its game mechanics. From the rich complex combat system to the sublime sound design, this game immerses the player in one of the most visceral plots in this generation. Maybe the AI could have been better, but, overall, this game proves how far the craftsmanship of making video games has come.

    Fuse
    FUSE feels like a cluster of several half-baked ideas. From generic art direction to a poorly paced and developed script, the title falls short in almost every aspect. All the character classes feel like variations of the same boring template, the enemies are faceless drones with no personality, the boss fights are repetitive and the level design is mediocre. You'll have to be a very hardcore third person shooter fan to enjoy the uninspired combat design and generic nature of this title.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
    While this game offers the same magnificent platform experience than the original Wii version, it suffers from issues associated with the smaller screen. The new controls are precise, specially now that you don't have to shake the controller. Even though the art direction and the levels where designed with a TV screen in mind, the 3D effect really enhances the backgrounds and environments. Challenging, fun and solid, the game design of this title shines even through its flaws and the patches that where made while adapting it for the 3DS.

    Gears of War: Judgment - Call to Arms
    Call at Arms' main problem seems to be its 1000 MS Points price, which will get you 3 new maps, a few unsurprising skins and the Master at Arms game mode.

    Guacamelee!
    While at first it seems like Guacamelee! mocks Mexican culture, the truth is that the game doesn't take itself seriously. With brilliant platforming sections and a cohesive and original art direction, the game presents an interesting and original world. The combat is not as deep as we would like it to be, but this frisky title has a hard to find feature: uniqueness.

    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon's campaign is too short and lacks challenge, but it makes up for those shortcomings with an over-the-top production, hilarious characters and dialogue, and enough fun to leave you asking for more.

    LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins
    Compared to the Wii U version, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins feels more like the product of an advertising campaign than an attempt to offer more value to the players. The game suffers from excessive fog, low frame rate and long loading times. The irrelevant combat and repetitive missions only serve to discourage exploration on a city that feels plain and boring. Even if it's aimed at a younger audience, The Chase Begins fails to deliver a memorable game experience.

    Soul Sacrifice
    Soul Sacrifice will not appeal to every PS Vita fan and it doesn't take advantage of the console's capabilities as much as we would have liked, but an innovative approach to the action RPG core mechanic turns it into a challenging and addictive experience.

    God Mode
    God Mode offers an easy way to kill some time. Combat is fun and the narrator's sarcastic voice really helps to tie the experience together, although you might not feel compelled to play it for more than a few hours.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us
    Injustice: Gods Among Us is an enjoyable fighting game that offers a deep combat system, an interesting campaign, and spectacular graphics.

    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Jetstream
    The Jetstream DLC includes a new and short campaign, but its main problem is that it recycles the scenarios and boss fights from the original main campaign. If you were expecting to get a whole new experience you will feel rather disappointed.

    Motocross Madness
    Motocross Madness lacks in terms of handling and the track design could be better, but it makes up for all that with fun races, fast progression and over the top tricks that you can easily pull off.

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity
    Even though Gates to Infinity presents a striking 3D world and a nice cast of Pokémon, the game experience suffers from tedious and simple dungeon design, and a childish and boring story.

    • 98 Critic Score
    BioShock Infinite
    While maintaining the core elements of the BioShock formula, Infinite succeeds at moving the franchise one step forward. The result is one of the best FPS of this generation and a moving story that no one should miss. From the detailed city of Columbia to the lovely and believable Elizabeth, BioShock Infinite surprised us as an almost perfect game.

    Dollar Dash
    Dollar Dash is a generic multiplayer action game with rusty game mechanics that suffer from an almost nonexistent player base, so you will end up playing against boring bots.

    Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
    The Devil's Cartel, developed by Visceral Games, offers a frenetic, arcade style coop experience. The inclusion of the Frostbite 2 engine takes the destruction to a whole new level, especially when combined with the use of Overkill, an ability that will make you an unstoppable killing machine.

    Alien Spidy
    Alien Spidy is an unnecessarily complicated game, with inaccurate controls and an unattractive story and art design, and even though it has certain production value it's far from offering an enjoyable experience.

    Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
    Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon offers a fun and memorable experience. Even though the lack of a second analog stick damages combat, and ghosts does not have their own personalities and context, Luigi and professor E. Gadd rescue some of the franchise's original charisma, and the basic game mechanic of capturing ghosts still is very addictive.

    Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
    Ni no Kuni is almost a perfect video game adaptation of a Studio Ghibli's movie with only minor problems. Level-5 excels in crafting experiences and Wrath of the White Witch is no exception, from beginning to end exudes geniality. The story is an emotional travel through a fantastic world filled with charismatic characters. The gameplay offers a wide arrange of personalization thanks to an almost endless collection of creatures to capture. In an era in which JRPGs are dying, Ni no Kuni might be the savior that could take things to the next level.
