A good fan service title, with several improvements over the previous game in terms of gameplay variety.

This new FPS by Zombie Studios is enthralling, original and frenetic: a different shooter with a good online mode, even if partly ruined by campers.

A disturbing two-hour trip into the mind of a mother looking for her lost son, with great atmosphere thanks to the top-notch sound design.

A nice platform game with good gameplay and controls, but its design feels quite uninspired and too repetitive, failing to offer decent incentives for the player to go on.

An honest tie-in, with nice gameplay and enjoyable both by children and parents. Buy suggested especially if you're looking for a game to play together with your kids.

CyberConnect2's new game feels like a missed opportunity, with a lazily built Naruto story mode and identical gameplay to the past games. Boruto's story mode and the huge roster of characters help it to partly recover, but it's too little, especially for a game that is supposed to celebrate 20 years of Naruto history.

Obliteracers would have been a very good racer if not for its problematic controls, faulty physics and bad performances.

Snakeybus lacks polish and variety and has got several technical issues, but it still manages to deliver an exhilarating, compelling and unique experience. It's worth a try.

The greatest achievement of Blood Bowl developers has been staying uber-faithful to the original board game rules, delivering us a deep and very rewarding game that should meet the tastes of every turn-based strategy lover. Unfortunately, the game stumbles on an bad user interface, complete lack of online leagues support and a too basic tutorial that fails to explain the game fundamentals to newcomers. If you're already a fan of the board game you'll surely like it, but everyone else should consider buying it only if willing to dedicate several hours to learn the game basics.

Shaun White Skateboarding bets on easy controls and some interesting and original stylistic choices, but it isn't a perfect title due to macroscopic gameplay and technical defects. Suggested only to people interested in a skateboarding game that aren't willing to deal with the more complex controls of other titles on the market.

Xenon Racer is an adrenaline-filled and enjoyable arcade racer with lots of contents, but doesn't bring anything new on the table and feels a bit dated, lacking enough innovation. It's however advised to anyone missing a good Ridge Racer-esque experience on modern consoles.

The Forbidden Arts presents some nice ideas and a surprising variety in environments, but it gets all ruined by very bad performances and input detection problems and design choices that make it very frustrating to play.

A mixed bag, with some unforgettable classics but many uninteresting or badly aged ones too, and without any extras to make the package more interesting.

A plain porting from PC which doesn't contain enough substance to justify the admission ticket, quickly ending up on the boring side of the spectrum.

An original brawler with a funny English humor and an acrobatics-based combat system. It ends up being a bit too repetitive and with an uninspired level design, but it's definitely capable of delivering an handful of hours of entertainment.

Jump Force feels like a huge missed opportunity: a so impressive characters roster deserved more than a causal-oriented fighter with barely no difference between characters and a quickly boring combat system. Even the characters depiction ends up being disappointing, with a "realistic-ization" that does them no justice.

Battlefield 2042 had all the right cards to offer an incredible experience - huge maps, more players (bots included), destructive weather events and the promising Portal mode. It is, however, unfortunately incomplete due to technical glitches, missing features and senseless design choices. The potential to become one of the best episodes of the saga is there, but it will take time and many corrective updates.

A fascinating adventure, mainly due to its awesome claymation look and old school mechanics. You'll need some patience though, due to its pervasive and slow backtracking.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League brings on our screens a new compelling Arkhamverse story coupled with an entertaining gameplay loop. However, it fails to keep our interest high past the first hours, due to the lack of a deeper structure and a more varied gameplay. Overall, this results in a disappointing experience, especially for a game with live service ambitions. Our hopes for improvement are pinned on future content updates and solid post-launch support.

Perception's got some interesting ideas and touching and adult stories to tell, but all this gets lost in an overly easy and boring game, hindered by several bugs too. It's a pity.

The new Star Wars games shines for its awesome graphics and refined controls, but it's not enough to overcome a boring and short story and very repetitive gameplay.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen revealed to be as the average low-budget movie tie-in. Hardcore gamers will hardly find a reason to buy it, so it's a viable buy only for Transformers' uber-fans, thanks to the many unlockable extras too.

A dream come true for the kids of the Ben 10 generation, which will be able to transform themselves into poweful super heroes. The game sports a good and satisfying control system and accurate Kinect recognition, but with a too short single player experience. Best if played with friends.

Driven by a striking and unforgettable visual style, Bye Sweet Carole delivers a charming, multifaceted adventure that genre fans shouldn’t miss. Clearly fueled by passion, it doesn’t achieve perfection in every gameplay element, yet it offers a memorable, emotionally resonant experience. Overall, it stands out as one of the most notable highlights of the recent Italian video game scene.

Cast of the Seven Godsends follows the path of classical action-platform games like Ghosts 'n Goblins, and it does it even too well, bringing with it stale mechanics that aren't so pleasant nowadays.

If judged only by the variety of available cars and circuits, this could be one of the best racing games around. Too bad it's dragged down by a frustrating gameplay made of odd design choices and awkward driving model.

A solid arcade racer with some very nice environments, but it feels a bit too weak in the technical department and with a too marked rubber-banding effect during the races.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is overall a good game, with the best gameplay over the last 3 chapters thanks to a fluid and frenetic multiplayer and a good Zombie mode. A discordant note is an uninvolving and slightly shorter campaign, but it remains the CoD with the best multiplayer in recent years, and this simply cannot be ignored.

A nice bike tricks game, with clean graphics and an immediate but deep gameplay. Lots of contents and a solid levels editor make it a worthy buy at a very good price.

Wanted: Dead is only half a successful experiment. The idea of mixing the shooter genre with the hack'n'slash action game one is good, but it is dwarfed by the shallowness of some of the mechanics, a substandard technical realisation and problematic balancing.

The perfect game to be bundled with Kinect: funny and with a very good graphical side.

James Cameron's Avatar revealed to be enjoyable even without the attached movie license, offering us good visuals and gameplay; it isn't perfect, mainly due to the repetitive missions design and some control problems, but if you're looking for a sci-fi action game to play after the holidays big hits, this is your best bet.

White Night surprised us with a very classic survival horror experience, combined with a great visual style and good noir story. Despite of some difficulty and controls problems, it's a very recommended buy for genre lovers.

A pleasant surprise, mixing an original and entertaining "ballistic" mechanic with well known strategy games elements. Implementing cross-play with PC users has been a great idea too, enabling us to find more people to confront with.

Ary and the Secret of Seasons introduces an interesting "season bubbles" mechanic and a well characterized game world, but fails in providing a compelling story and an interesting gameplay. Many bugs and glitches don't help, either.

Fable: The Journey loses many of the elements that made the main series famous, things like PNG interaction, moral choices and freedom, but it makes a very good and pleasing Kinect game, even with some story revelations that will please the series fans.

SBK Generations will probably disappoint all the series fans due to the constant feeling of deja vù it gives. It keeps however its strong simulative gameplay, so it's suitable for racing fans who never bought the previous games and want to race across four entire SBK seasons.

A solid sequel for Rare's motion controlled franchise: engaging and fun, it's capable of delivering an high challenge level and player involvement, also thanks to its social interaction features. We're however a bit disappointed by the absence of more party-oriented features, something in which Season 2 definitely shone more.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge doesn't excel in anything in particular and is hindered by noticeabel graphical and AI problems, but it manages to offer a fair amount of fun if played in co-op. We expected much more, but if you like fantasy games you could be willing to give it a chance.

Risen manages to be, especially thanks to its gameplay and story, an involving and exciting RPG guaranteeing may hours of entertainment. Suggested to all the fans of classic RPGs, while all the others should prepare for some hours of difficulties and frustration before seeing it shine.

Even if not revolutionary or innovative, Toy Soldiers: War Chest represents a decent - but technically disappointing - new chapter for Ubisoft's action/tower defense hybrid.

Risen 2 successfully manages to recreate the charming mood of pirate stories, but very bad visuals and gameplay with a too steep difficulty curve contribute to drag down its overall value.

A good golf simulation, capable of entertaining both experts and newbies thanks to lots of control options and a scalable difficulty.

Captain America: Super Soldier isn't a bad game, but it lacks that brightness and polish that can make the difference between an acceptable game and a good or very good one.

Defiance shows sparks of great potential, which stays mainly untapped due to an overall lack of mission variety and a bad allied and enemy AI. Its bright spot resides in the good co-op experience, so you could consider buying it if you're planning to play with friends.

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is an old-fashioned horror title capable of delivering many thrills thanks to a well-written storyline, anxiety-inducing atmosphere and unique gameplay, provided, however, you can turn a blind eye to the problems related to controls, the little care taken in graphics improvements and the lack of localization for several western languages.

More than a proper horror game, The Town of Light is a scary didactic experience teaching us about the horrors that went on in Italian asylums until the '80s. It's not a too enjoyable game though, due to overly slow and clunky movements, long loading times and an unstable frame rate.

Graced by stunning and truly next-genish graphics, Ryse: Son of Rome unluckily stumbles on too-repetitive fights: the combat system itself proved do be quite solid but it lacks variety in enemy types and weapons used. Upon this we find an overly short story balanced by a valid co-op experience. It's undoubtedly a game to try for every Xbox One owner, but one that you could be willing to wait to find at a more appropriate price.

NBA Live still has a long way to go to gain back all the basket lovers attention, but this surely is a good step in the right direction. Its main strengths are simplicity and ease of use, resulting in a good arcade game for people not wanting an overly complex gameplay.

Create can involve the phisics puzzles lovers with a very nice gameplay, but fails in its main feature, the user content creation. A missed chance for EA.

An easy forgettable game, too repetitive to be considered even by Bakugan fans.

Gunscape sports a good editor to create and share any level we want, but it's held back by a too few available shapes and restrictive rules set. If you've got a creative mind and love classical FPS games, though, this could guarantee hours upon hours of enjoyment.

Crackdown 3 nails the increased sense of power while evolving our agents and it's got satisfying combat and platforming, but it feels too outdated, or maybe underdeveloped, in many areas. Its forgettable multiplayer component doesn't help either.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker marks a bold new direction for Naruto games, trying to innovate the brand with a new kind of fighting game. Unluckily it falls short on its objective though, due to a lack of content and the omission of a proper story mode. However it's got some very interesting features and a fresh gameplay approach, so it's definitely worth a try buy Naruto and fighting games lovers.

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics fails to deliver an exciting tactical experience due to an uninspired design and bland story, coupled with some enemy AI problems. The turn-based gameplay is ok, but it ends up being a too basic tactical game, underwhelming both for Cthulhu myths and strategy games lovers.

One Piece: Burning Blood presents a huge roster and great care for story details, but it's dragged down by important flaws like a too limited story mode and uninteresting game modes. Combat gameplay needs some adjustments too, especially in the balancement department. A good start for a new One Piece beat'em up franchise, but still needs lots of work.

Taxi Chaos feels almost shameless in cloning Crazy Taxi's idea and it's lost some of the game's attitude (mainly due to a forgettable soundtrack) in the process, but it ultimately delivers an entertaining experience and a gameplay formula we've missed for a long time, with some nice additions like the city's verticality and the passengers side stories.

Dark Void shows some good premises, but Airtight couldn't manage to let its wings spread open, delivering us an uninspired game lacking any truly memorable moments.

A solid Nascar racer, with a good career mode and a good engine even if not comparable to the latest AAA racers. Too bad for its sound design, often annoying and definitely forgettable.

Hydrophobia could have been much better if it only included horror elements and a more involving story. What we've got instead is an uninspired game, even uncapable of making us feel what its title suggests: the main character's fear of water.

Even if being the best episode of the Empires series as of today, the game offers repetitive and in the long run boring gameplay. And the graphical defects, with an annoying pop-in/pop-out effect on environment objects, don't help.

A peculiar and unique title, with a skillful mix of platform, roguelike, rpg, survival and puzzle elements and a very effective artistic design.

Many new features, a great longevity and a vast and varied characters roster makes this the best game yet in the Dynasty Warriors franchise.

Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is a simulation that goes through ups and downs. The graphics feel a bit dated and the ball physics don't feel fully convincing, but once you master the control system you'll get some decent satisfaction out of it. Too bad, also, for the lack of content both in terms of modes and prominent tennis players.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows looks like a lazy attempt to create a One Punch Man fighting game, with a repetitive filler-riddled structure and a problematic technical production. It's got its fair share of fanservice content and the Saitama management mechanic is interesting, but it feels too much as every other Bandai Namco anime fighting game.

Skater XL introduces an innovative and very satisfying control system, but that's all: it feels more like an early access game, still lacking any meaningful content like a story mode or challenges/missions. It's also in need of a visual overhaul, as the skate parks feel too empty and lifeless, skaters lack any expressivity and the overall graphical fidelity is quite low.

A great game for every Hokuto no Ken fan, mixing a classical beat'em'up gameplay to the typical Dynasty Warriors mechanics.

The talented guys at Antab Studio managed to build with limited resources a futuristic and stylistically appealing adventure, a well made and memorable one. It might not be too original and it's got some unpleasant difficulty spikes, but Foreclosed lets us pleasantly play it until the end credits, capturing us in his comic dystopian world.

Other than for the great charisma of Disney's characters and a very good soundtrack, Epic Mickey 2 doesn't shine any more: some inscrutable puzzles and a very bad friend AI management make it a frustrating experience, unsuited both to young and grown up players.

The Bunker offers an FMV gaming revival with an intriguing story, good acting and a great location, but with very low interactivity and replay value, for less than a couple of hours of enjoyment. It's worth a run if you're not bothered by the whole "interactive movie" concept.

Thanks to its deep simulation and strategic features, Mount & Blade: Warband is a great game for every lover of the medieval age, provided that you're willing to create your own story as the game won't provide any.

A hilarious physics-based game, hindered by some troublesome controls but with some very funny side modes.

MXGP2 manages to recreate a very authentic motocross experience thanks to a great driving system and lots of contents. It's not the graphically prettiest racer around, but if you love motocross you won't be disappointed.

Saw presents an interesting plot and an unexpected and shocking ending, being able to frighten and cause anguish in the player. Too bad all this is partly ruined by a very bad combat system, too few available weapons and flat enemies.

Bedlam manages to revisit with lots of irony some of the most popular games of the past, but it's ridden by technical problems and a little bit too repetitive.

A missed chance, expecially after the very good War for Cybertron. Unpolished and too short, its main value resides in the story bridging the second and third movie.

A not too inspired Hotline Miami stealt-based clone, but this doesn't keep it from being entertaining both alone and with a friend.

An immediate and easy pirate themed rogue-lite game, with a nice design but hindered by an excessive repetitiveness.

SolSeraph mixes several genres like side-scrolling action, strategy and tower defense, but does it in an unconvincing way with every single aspect being weaker than other games in the same genres. A poor technical production with uncomfortable strategic controls and a noticeable input lag in the platforming section aren't helping, too.

A great collection for every Worms lover, except for the objectionable inclusion of Ultimate Mayhem. If you didn't get the Live Arcade episodes, this is a good chance for many hours of entertainment.

A too simple and short single player campaing and a flawed and highly unbalanced multiplayer experience make of this title a mediocre mech game.

The Church in the Darkness presents us an intriguing setting and gameplay idea, but it fails in fulfilling its ambitions due to imprecise controls, too basic stealth mechanics, bugs and an overall lack of care for details.

Spark Unlimited did well with the game's script and the stunning landscapes, but all this gets hindered by a too-repetitive gameplay and an overly slow pace, worsened by the too many and frequent load screens.

A false step for Omega Force, with a lacklustre technical production, bugs and modes scarcity.

Tennis World Tour 2 shows huge improvements over the original game, with satisfying gameplay and game modes. Some features, like the card system, might be debatable and it could have had better graphics, but this is definitely the right (re)start for a series aiming to become the new Top Spin.

An artistically nice action-platformer with a boring and repetitive gameplay.

A disappointing sequel for Ryu's saga, stripped of all the features that made the previous chapters stand out in the action games crowd.

A pointless porting, with the same bugs of the original PC game from three years ago and an imprecise control system.

Dead by Daylight is nothing more than a failed porting from PC, with many technical problems, an awful net-code, bad localization and lack of content and gameplay variety.

Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris tries to experiment with too many different mechanics without making them too compelling, and that's hampered by a lackluster technical production. It's anyway got a good basis, and SAO fans will definitely appreciate its depiction of the anime's universe and the huge levels of fan service present.

A fun and captivating arcade variation to the more serious WWE 2K annual series, with entertaining gameplay and a solid fighters roster. It might lack a bit in variety, but it'll surely please wrestling lovers.

One of the best party games for Kinect, thanks to a very good variety of activities, up to 16 players support, and enteraining use of alternate reality and perfect movement recognition; the Rabbids' scoffing comedy pervading the entire game is just the icing on top.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 looks too similar to the first game in the series, except for small improvements in graphics and story structure. If you already played the first Raging Blast, this will look like more of the same, control problems included. But if you're a Dragon Ball fan and never played it in the past, you could easily enjoy it.

It's like Journey in space, with less poetry and more mystery. Lifeless Planet makes us really feel lost in a huge, alien world, and despite some gameplay flaws it manages to compel us through the ending.

A very funny multiplayer arcade racer, a little bit lacking in modes variety but definitely worth a try.

A generic shooter that doesn't do enough to justify its price.

Body and Brain Connection succeeds in keeping our mind agile thanks to new kinds of exercises only possible with Kinect, but it hardly will be able to keep your attenction high for more than few minutes per day. Consider it if you're looking for a challenging mind test, but don't expect a properly entertaining experience.

A real blast from a past, but it still manages to satisfy even today thanks to an entertaining gameplay and an high modes variety. Too bad for the complete lack of online multiplayer: it would have been a perfect fit.
