Sometimes the old formula does not work anymore and just a graphic makeover is not enough. Only for the original Painkiller lovers.

It may not be a perfect port of the PS3 version, nobody should reasonably expect that, and it suffers from the lack of some effects, jaggies, and a reduced volume of traffic, but you can't underestimate the small wonder that is having Most Wanted running flawlessly on a handheld. Criterion has done a great job making sure the core of the experience remains untouched, showing that there is a still a lot of untapped potential for Vita.

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.

Medal of Honor Warfighter is another War FPS with generic and too short campaign. Its multiplayer adds some interesting stuff to a classic formula, but it's limited by the lack of variety and size of the maps.

After Bloodlines, Ubisoft tries it one more time in a portable Sony device with Assassin's Creed III Liberation, hitting the jackpot this time with a faithful version of the saga which keeps its controls, mechanics, playability and open locations to explore with three different identities: Slave, Dame or Assassin. Great voice-over work and duration, it's a shame that its numerous bugs and glitches ruins one of the most impressive visual games on PS Vita.

Criterion Games has developed the best arcade driving game of this generation. It is fun, fast, crazy and offers thousands of different options. One of the most remarkable aspects is the online mode up to 8 players in the same Fairhaven.

If you have played WWE 12 this new game is very similar, but the new mode Attitude Era is essential for fans. Probably one of the best wrestling games in the current gen.

Halo 4 is a new age in Halo franchise. 343 Industries improves some elements like multiplayer options and map design, and hits a new level in visuals. It features a frantic and varied campaign, but more close combat than big battles.

It wants to be respectful of military veterans and present a realistic, gritty experience with a heart string-tugging story that's layered with a thrilling secret operations plot – but it's so fundamentally jumbled, thrown together, and confusing that I can't begin to recommend it.

Following lessons by masters Altair and Ezio, Connor brings key new features to the Assassin's Creed series. Naval battles and leafy wilderness areas full of animals and tall trees fit nicely with the well-built historical setting of this American Revolutionary War. Expansive and spectacular, only marred by inexcusable bugs, reduced draw distances, a slow-paced beginning and several AI flaws.

Last year Skylanders was the best idea from Activision. Now not only have they increased the figures, Giants, also this magic universe of the game, the challenges, the monsters, the minigames, the powers ... 1 or 2 players, if they are children, they will want to play with the portal.

Forza Horizon is a complete driving experience. Its great music, its magnificent scenery, freedom and the Horizon Festival is the perfect place to drive around for days and days.

Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition is the latest revision for the electronic adaptation of this popular board game, and it's certainly the most faithful and accomplished to date. It comes with 3 new races and teams, stadiums and a World Cup game mode, while keeping all other features intact. This game is perfect for those who love this sport as brutal fun, or even for those who want to learn it.

007 Legends is more Call of Duty than a James Bond Game. Poor stealth gameplay and enemy AI, but some good classic stuff: four players split-screen multiplayer and health mode like Goldeneye 64.

This is the best tracklist in the Dance Central series and it is still fun. The best game for Kinect, now with time travel. The disco will be afraid to see you come.

Manhunt with Teddy Bears. This is would be the perfect example of Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise, second try of formerly AM&M, now beHAVIOUR, with the furious IP they created. With a lot of content and some nice RPGS elements, it's a shame that the visual aspect is not at the same level, just like the game itself, which will turn repetitive after a few slaughtering hours.

Just like a bed time story, The Unfinished Swan guides us into an experience so powerful yet delicate that is easy to be surprised every time we are in a new level. Visuals and score mixed together with core mechanics that change every chapter and deliver us one of the must have indies of the year, and a black & white prologue inked with golden touches that must be played to believe it.

It's not a brand-new game but it certainly gives that feeling; WRC3 has lots of content to offer with a bunch of new additions to the gameplay's core. It's a good choice for rally-lovers and fans of the genre.

Liberation Maiden is a classic shoot'em up with intense gameplay, but it's too short and has repetitive mechanics.

Flawed, but with potential. There are shining elements in Of Orcs and Men. It looks very good, it has a great soundtrack and the combination of the two protagonists works. But it´s too linear for its own shake, the story tries too much to be "mature" and it doesn't take advance of its potential, among general problems of presentation and production.

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.

A love letter to the Pixel generation, an ode to an Era that'll never come back, this Retro City Rampage blasts through the screen with an irresistible combination of pure Old School visuals and intense gameplay a là GTA, on top of the wildest -the DeLorean from Back to the Future turned into a pure roadkill machine??- and craziest icons from the TV, Cinema and Videogames of the last 30 years. A must have for those children of the Eighties.
