    Echoes of Time is a useless waste of time in Wii. You better expend your money in the NDS version, because this is just a 1:1 port of the handheld that has nothing remarkable at all. We will have to wait till Crystal Bearers comes out to the scene by the end of this year.

    Even with some new touches and a increased difficulty, there are little changes in this sequel, which is probably the big problem here. The game keeps being as charming and enjoyable as the first one, so it´s perfect for those who love LocoRoco, but it lacks the sense of surprise and discovering of the first one.

    R-Type and R-Type II, two classics coin-ops, are together in R-Type Dimensions. Two graphics modes: original 2-D and all new 3-D in high definition. Game modes can be played as single player or multiplayer missions, either locally or over Xbox LIVE. A good retro pack with reminds the quality of this Shoot'em Up.

    Dead Island is a great game. It has many flaws in its visuals, and the first-person gameplay is hard to understand at first. But Dead Island delivers a big open world RPG game, with 4 player coop and many things to do on the island. Horror movie lovers and RPG lovers should give it a try.

    Hyrule Warriors offers massive battles in the Zelda universe, with an extra layer of quality over the normal Dynasty Warriors entries.

    With an incredibly eye for polish and simplification, Gaming Minds Studio has created a magnificently accessible game that unfortunately is not equally complex.

    F1 2013 keeps the pace of last year. The Classic Edition is much better, because the standard edition is highly trimmed. Good job for Codemasters, but a season low risk, transition to next year and next-gen.

    Pure Suda, Killer is Dead is a really good action game with lots of flavor and many of the elements that have made this director special.

    Enter the Gungeon offers a new way to understand the rogue-like games, being more dependent on the player skill than focusing on the item drops. It has perfect gunplay and a cute game design, and even if it's not as good as The Binding of Isaac or Nuclear Throne, it comes close to them.

    A warm visual novel about the small but important things of life, full of humanity and great characters. Original, well written and highly enjoyable.

    As a sandbox game, State of Decay is not very impressive. But a survival game with an apocalyptic and zombies setting is pretty awesome. Combat, exploration and good community sense make for the most ambitious game for the XBLA in a long time.

    If you are tired of Tower Defense games, think again, Trendy Entertainment shows there is still a lot of potential in this concept, offering a great mix with ARPG concepts which shines the most in cooperative mode.

    These days, when Japan RPG titles are struggling to survive against the Western RPG front, the old school feeling is more than welcome. This is what Namco Bandai has done: Looking back to a not-too-distant good old times and bringing us back one of the best Tales ever made. Add to the mix a reasonable price, a sequel and min +70, max +150 hours of quests, Overworld Maps, Cities, Dungeons and some HD anime cutscenes, and you have a good offering if you like the genre or just the Tales series.

    Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney proves, with decisive evidence, that it never gets old. This remaster gives a nice glow-up in graphics and music and gameplay feels graciously adapted with some sacrifices.

    Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha is pure fanservice. Simple and effective gameplay, has a great co-op mode and has also a lovely soundtrack.

    Saviorless is a 2D game with hand-drawn designs that starts off calm, focused on the same concept of Narrative. Little by little its difficulty increases and, by the time you are aware, there it is, showing its teeth, making you sweat with every jump and every blow. And you become desperate like you couldn't imagine when you started your journey. Keep going. When you get to the end you will know that all the blood, sweat and tears were worth it.

    A different kind of narrative adventure that mixes historical and fictional characters in an interesting story. The Mad Ones is a promising start for the total of five chapters that The Council will have, having a good duration and introducing the new RPG based mechanics that can make the game unique.

    DiRT 5 does not bring anything revolutionary to the arcade driving genre, but it does manage to set the saga in a territory where no one can doubt its existence. DiRT is still DiRT, an episode that takes the best of the first three numbered installments and does not forget to provide the excellent set design of the Rally side. This anarchic philosophy is enjoyed at the controls, but it suffers from a series of technical problems and graphic finishes that are below expectations. A remarkable title specially designed for lovers of the saga and four wheels, but which fails to establish itself as a benchmark in its genre.

    Gameplay remains solid, with small additions that hardcore players will appreciate, but the lack of real innovation and the limited evolution of some modes are starting to weigh on what remains, despite everything, the best sports simulation game on the market.

    Peggle 2 is another addictive puzzle game from PopCap Games. Direct and effective, this sequel has fewer masters than its predecessor, but it's still fun.

    BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle has an unique tag combat system. Deeper, challenging and surprisingly fun. However, as a fighting product has lack of modes and controversial DLC policy.

    Better, longer, more diverse and much more intense. The sequel of PixelJunk Shooter honors its name with a new focus on action without losing the essence of what made the first one so great.

    Obsidian doesn't produce the prettiest games, or the ones with the most impressive production values, but if there is one thing this studio does very well it's writing and they give another lesson of that with Alpha Protocol, inventing a solid, interesting and intriguing story in a world of spies and conspiracies. But beyond the quality, the most impressive thing is how the studio has managed to integrate decisions with story in a convincing way, creating a game where different choices, playstyles and attitudes have a direct impact on the narrative.

    LEGO Dimensions is the biggest game in the whole franchise so far due to the quantity of content it offers to the players; however, this is also the most expensive one. Enjoyable from the very start.

    Endless Legend is one of the best turn-based 4X games currently available. It mixes classical mechanics and new original components in a nice graphic and colorful environment while offering numerous options to users. Although some aspects would require a bit more variety, it's a perfect deal for the fans of 4X games. If empire building is your thing, you'll need to play it.

    Aside of being visually remarkable, Oil Rush is a clever and elegant strategy game that combines RTS and Tower Defense mechanics to create an interesting hybrid, not as demanding as a RTS, but more active and dynamic than TD, reaching an attractive and very well executed middle point.

    The line between an outstanding game and a very powerful game but without shine is in this Spec Ops. The story of Walker, Adams and Lugo is deep and interesting, as are the situations they will be exposed too. But the multiplayer is not very inspired and other areas have shortcomings.

    Is PES2011 the best football game that we've seen so far on Wii's catalogue? Yes it's, but lacking any important addition to the style the franchise has been offering for more than three years. Pro Evolution needs something new, but still it's impossible not to fall under its unique football spirit.
