Gran Turismo 7 has recaptured the hallmarks of the series and immediately becomes the most comfortable piece of driving in living memory. Polyphony Digital has put all the pieces together, taking the best from the early episodes of the series and the advances of the HD era. The result is a polished, perfected control and feel at the wheel, matched by a dizzying array of technology. All in all, it demonstrates the three fundamental pillars of the series: racing, collecting and photography. Despite its mediocre collision engine, a far cry from the physics system, an AI that can be improved and some convoluted menus, Gran Turismo 7 is a declaration of love to the world of motorsport. Its didactic commitment and appreciation for every car makes all the difference. Gran Turismo is synonymous with racing, but not only that. Accessible and deep at the same time, this is a must-have for cars enthusiasts, a title with the potential to last an entire generation.

Civilization V: Brave New World integrates perfectly with the mechanics of previous versions and achieves to extend the gameplay of this great 4X. It is becoming clear that Civilization V is one of the largest of its kind with each new expansion pack and an image in which many would like to be reflected. If not for its flaws in the AI and that feeling of being buying a complete game in easy monthly payments... this would be an almost perfect game.

Hacker's Memory follows the same pattern that the previous title had but at the same time going one step beyond. A great combat system, an interesting story and characters and mostly the great soundtrack, with a few new themes added, and also a better pace on completing side missions complete an amazing title in this franchise.

There still are few things with room for improvement, and the portable performance sour the taste a little bit, but the experience is unquestionably superior from the one offered back on Wii.
