    A TV show like AMC's The Walking Dead wants a game to match. Survival Instinct is not that, at all. Ugly, unoriginal and boring, this FPS has many mistakes and bugs, besides being short and without intensity. Don't buy it, even though you love Daryl.

    Dead or Alive 5 Plus is spectacular, balanced and has fluid gameplay like the original game. Some additions are good idea, but others such as touch screen controls are poor. Netcode and crossplaying works well, but nowadays PS3 servers are pretty deserted.

    Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 fails in too many elements. It's linear, simplistic and has a guided campaign. There's little variety and it's too short. City Interactive doesn't take advantage of Cry Engine 3, and it's full of graphical issues.

    CPUs Goddesses Girls are back in virtual town of Gamindustri, this time in a back to the 80s past and the whole arcade and pixel tradition of that decade. Larger, richer and harder than Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Victory has a good battle system and a parodic, constant rhythm of guilty fun & jokes about games, but too much dialogues that don't say really anything, poor graphic visuals and a difficulty that makes us to grind constantly to be able to beat a ridiculously difficult Final Bosses. Buy this ticket back to the land of videogames if you really love the Japan RPG in its most pure expression.

    Trying a little departure from the Atelier's Arland trilogy, Ayesha brings new elements, like a combat system with more options and a revamped item-crafting system. Maybe its visuals are poor in texture quality, but Atelier Ayesha sure feels like a regular entry in the series.

    Bloodier than ever, the god of Sony's IPs come back with a title than focuses on the beginning of the tragedy. Reluctant to remember what happened, Kratos only wants to break the pact he made once with Ares. God of War: Ascension bring us a visual spectacle that pushes PlayStation 3 to its limits, carrying new elements for the gameplay and even a Multiplayer mode that helps to extend the life of this spartan odyssey. A great Good-bye to the character until the Next Generation.

    Omertà: City of Gangsters is far from becoming the crime simulator we all expected. It's a game depleted by notable absences in many aspects and a great idea overshadowed by a really poor execution. The product can entertain, but is unable to attract fans of mafia theme enough because a continuous lack of options throughout the whole game. Fortunately, it is fully distributed and localized with a lower price in Spain, and this is one of the few reasons to buy it.

    Capcom knows best what it keeps in its files, truly legendary IPs that when they're put together create a blast from the past. Just like this Capcom Arcade Cabinet, a well-selected bunch of titles in which the shoot 'em up seems to be the king of the hill. Every title comes with different game modes, even online and co-op in some cases, and nice features like the opportunity of playing a vertical shoot 'em up in horizontal. But the best is being able of pay just for the titles we want, not having to buy the entire collection.

    Dangerously close to the Duke Nukem Forever case, Aliens: Colonial Marines at last sees the light, bringing a correct FPS with good and bad aspects. With the first aspect we have a truly reliable recreation of Cameron's Aliens universe that constantly pays homage to its source with every detail of its scenarios, characters, soundtrack and weapons. On the other hand, the whole level of tension the game manages to create is lost in the battles due to a poor Enemy AI, graphical issues and unbalanced gameplay. A good experience for fans, but another common FPS to everyone who doesn't know the movie.

    It is by far the best game we've seen on PSVita. As as enhanced edition of Persona 4, 'Golden' works perfectly as both an introduction to new gamers and a demanding adventure for advanced ones.

    The Cave does a good job creating a cool character (the Cave itself) and using the classic point'n click engine in a whole new package.

    A pure act of love. This is what Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Which is for both Studio Ghibli lovers and gamers who want to embrace again that old fashioned, classic spirit from the RPG genre of 16 and 32 Bit generations. The makers of Spirited Away and the creators of Dragon Quest VIII -Level 5- join forces in a visually constant Tour de Force that contains one of the best scores ever written for a videogame and a battle system that mixes turn-based with real time action. One true jewel of the PlayStation 3 library.

    Poor, short, unambitious. As a visual novel it's completely forgettable given the lack of actual content, narrative or character development. As an "adult game" it won't arouse anyone with static images and poor descriptions of the actions, and as mini-game card title it's utterly boring.

    Primordia is an interesting adventure for fans of science fiction, but it is a pity that coming from an original idea as good as religion and moral conflicts of robots, the game turns into something as traditional as the search for a power core.

    Miasmata suggests a different, intense and exciting experience. It makes an audacious bet with content strange to many, and which may pose doubts once we know its elements. The fears can continue during the early minutes of the game when one does not have a clear idea which objective is addressed... and are cleared fast when producing "the connection" with the protagonist. As the player happens to become Robert Hughes, Miasmata will make ours the emotions and doubts of the scientist, and his goal will become our target. Bob and Joe Johnson have managed to create a title capable of changing our idea of how to beat the game, for a constant desire to know more, to go forward and solve the mystery.

Visually an exercise of Nostalgia mixed with Steampunk elements, fully (very well) voiced this time, and with plenty of 2D-3D levels and sidequest missions, Epic Mickey 2 fails with the Oswald's AI and again the camera, and a story that is really longer but sometimes insubstantial in missions and narrative.

    Zone of the Enders HD Collection was one of the most important games on Playstation 2: 2nd Runner, but the original ZOE is as limited as ever, and the remakes suffer from poor frame rate.

    If you ever dreamed of being the son of evil, this is your chance. With strong links to "The Omen" trilogy (the 4th does not count), Lucius is a decent adventure that can entertain, but its storyline could have been deeper.

    Although it isn't a different game, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle has managed to jump to 3DS, with good graphic aspect and many unique puzzles. Also there are other 365 challenges more to lengthen the experience.

    Showing one more time that PS Move is capable of a 1:1 body simulation, Sports Champions 2 strikes back with five new categories and a familiar one that, in case of Boxing, Bowling or Tennis, is a whole workout session, demanding physically from the player(s). Pure fun in multiplayer, we still miss that online mode which still resists to appear. Although not everybody can make use of it, playing with two Move sensors multiplied the fun and the challenge.

    Although some editions of Football Manager are defined by including improvements in dribs and drabs, this is not the case at hand. The new game cares for both traditional users and those who seek an experience equally comprehensive but willing to sacrifice some complexity in exchange for a faster management. Football Manager 2013 is a complete network of choices that allow us to simulate the most realistic behavior of clubs and competitions, ever seen. It should be mandatory for almost every football coach.

    Virtual & timeless beauty. That's what Clover Studios managed to bring the world six years ago. Okami not only has aged well in its core mechanics, it continues to be the masterpiece it was, and proof that a game can touch us like the music or the movies, directly to our hearts and souls. Amaterasu's epic journey is a must-have in this generation of games that look so cloned each other, that makes even more unique this unique tale of freedom, love and justice that will never look so better than now in High Definition.

    Hotline Miami is a gift for those who are willing to enjoy the old-arcade essence of the 8 and 16 bits era. Furthermore, the gameplay mechanics are superb and the strong 80ish atmosphere adds to a really twisted travel.
