    It might be seen as a mixture between a Visual Novel and a JRPG, although all the fun comes from the later. It delivers fast-paced combats and an interesting approach to new gameplay mechanics, but it lacks an intriguing story-line. Fans of the genre will find something new and fresh, which is more than we could've hoped.

    Capcom strikes again with a compilation that hits as much as it misses. The games included are timeless wonders, but absent jewels of Capcom´s crown as Alien vs. Predator or Cadillacs and Dinosaurs prevent the bundle from exploding.

    Silver Wish's game is rather fun, but it's extremely short. It's a linear game, and puzzles are so easy that it will take us just 3 hours to end our journey. Gameplay-wise it's a bit old in every aspect, but it has great visuals and a huge personality; that's why Axel&Pixel will be an adventure to remember, but it could have fared much better.

    Isle of Armor is an interesting shot of new content which the original Pokémon Sword and Shield players will be able to extend the game experience for a few hours. It is not necessarily better, but it does successfully complement the previous experience. Smart map design, 100 new returning Pokémon, some quests to face… but the story is too short, though. Good enough.

    It's not surprising, nor particularly large. Kinect Rush is a game where 5 rather funny Pixar universes exist to be traversed and explored with an avatar like us. It is pretty much like the movies, but little else.

    Maquette stands out for an excellent love story that affects the aesthetics of the stage. It is very well written and excellently interpreted. It is fresh, natural, credible, and its development makes us want to move forward.

    A strange metroidvania in that it puts its story wholly at its front, Timespinner is a unique time-travelling experience whose subject matter is more mature than it may seem. Plus, you get to have a partner dragon.

    Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is a funny game for children that allows us to play as the famous magician. EA did a good job by introducing some features in this game. However, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is a linear game without innovative aspects. Just buy it if you're one of Harry's supporters.

    It has some good ideas, but it falls short in depth and developing an interesting story. It's an enjoyable game, but it should have been much better, as it seems to lack the faith to try some new things or further develop the main characters.

    Cities XL 2011 is a complete city-building simulator, but it lacks of many basic features to become a really nice game. More realistic than deep, the game will give many hours of fun to urban management fans but those who enjoyed similar games in the past may not be attracted by this new offer. Let's wait for the mods.

    While WRC2 presents a good selection of cars and circuits for Rally fans, it's still a bit lacking in the technical and audiovisual side, and it presents a weird balance between simulator and arcade that doesn't make it any favour.

    A very decent effort and a enjoyable stealth game. It´s a bit janky and has its fair amount of troubles, but at the end of the day you are getting a good game for a very good price, with some superb level design, good mechanics and a fair amount of content.

    Although excellent for a debut title, Dandara fails to reach its potential, instead lingering ever close. A fairly good game.

    Surviving Mars is a sci-fi settlement builder which becomes more enjoyable once you have understood its complex mechanics. It portrays lots of sci-fi references and its controls on PC are pretty intuitive.

    Making coffee, stealing some cereal for the kids, getting away with murder in an Aquarium transformed into a death trap... The usual a good father and devoted husband will do for his family. Did we say we playing an octopus in disguise married to a human woman and trying to live the perfect American family dream? As crazy as its plot, the controls are frustrating, tedious and nerve-wracking, but this is what Octodad is all about: To make these little daily things as if we were a squid in a slapstick world. It's short and the gameplay needs some balance with the core mechanics, but indeed drew a smile on our faces.

    ArcSystemWorks delivers another 2D beat 'em up filled with Japanese gas. With a great deal of fighters and different combat-styles, the latest Arcana Heart manages to score, despite its lack of story or new genre-related elements.

    Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands has some original play mechanics, a good puzzles, and the best of Sands of Time game: phenomenal platformer levels... but has a combat system too simple and some vague control.

    The Thin Silence, that cunkling sound that is inside everyone and drives you to hope. The game, with its puzzles and pixel art visuals, explores the depths of human depression not only by using narrative, but also with the mechanics themselves.

    Samurai Warriors 4, title released a year ago that served to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Musou games based in feudal Japan, receives the first of its two expansions. SW 4 II is what once was known as Xtreme Legends, and includes interesting news as a new set of skills and enhanced survival mode.

    Apparently aimed at a very specific target, Varney Lake is a remarkable game that, we are sure, can surprise and please both those who are foreign to retro adventures and video games in general. Simply, if you like to enjoy small and good stories, here is a place where you can be happy for a couple of hours.

    Interesting but lacked in too many ways. Fragile's a good mix between Action and RPG, with an outstanding story that dig deep into the feeling of the main character, represented a young teenager. The gameplay style's a total mess, but still, there's something that will make players love this game - the Personal Frame that becomes the new best friend of Seto. An interesting choice, but not for everyone.

    The Raskulls are charming, and that's the strongest point of a fun, engaging and compelling game. It's extremely simple, its gameplay is basic and it's kinda repetitive, but it has so many fun moments that it becomes a great experience for playing both solo or with friends.

    A good fighting game but nothing else, that's what players are going to find in the latest production from Capcom. It's a very good way to explode the anime series Fae/Stay Night, with a very interesting gameplay mechanics that every fighting game lover will appreciate. Don't expect anything more, you won't find it in here.

    Petroglyph has sought to make a simple, direct game... and maybe they have exceeded that. Being a good game does not add anything to make it a serious alternative to the big ones.

    An attractive trip to the subconscious, which uses surrealism effectively to propose a development based on puzzles. However, the emotional connection with the player does not end up being established.

    Five months later, the port of the first six adventures of Sam & Max comes to Wii. Managed by the Wiimote pointer and without any visual improvement worth mentioning, it is still a good opportunity for those who was not able to play them already, as the port retaini the same comedy value and high quality.
