Tetris Blitz is probably one of the best spin-offs on the popular formula available on the mobile market. The two-minute bursts of gameplay work well, but in the end the lack of balance in the scoring system tends a lot towards the "pay-to-win" solution.

Pro Cycling Manager 2018 is really similar to last year edition and still needs some major technical improvements, but works better thanks to a refined artificial intelligence.

Synced offers many hours of fun for free in its campaign and PvP modes but there are too many currencies and a gotcha system behind which are locked the best weapons in the game.

The Collectables is a mixed bag. On the one hand, the game's got some stunning graphics and lots of missions, on the other hand it's cumbersome when you have to move the team members individually.

It’s a funny and addictive gameplay but it’s still the same, old gameplay.

A good platform/action game with He-Man and The Masters of Universe as protagonists...a dream that became true for every fan of the series.

Metal Slug Defense is a nice take on the tower defense genre, thanks to a simple but compelling gameplay, lots of missions and excellent 2D graphics.

Pifall! is an average running game, with some nice graphics and music. Touch controls don't always work as they should, however, and the experience delivered is everything but original.

The game is just the best cycling game on the market, with a deep, well designed gameplay and months of fun. The flip side are the few innovations in comparison to the past year and some bugs that plague the graphic engine.

The Callisto Protocol is not Dead Space and it stumbles over more than one design choice: the close-quarters combat defuse the fear of enemies who have nothing to do with the gruesome Necromorphs, the direction often does not manages to build the fear and tension that one would expect and the story ends up being predictable. However, the game also delivers solid gameplay and stunning graphics.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is an imperfect title, a title that shows the side to several problems. However Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions entertained us, amused us and still offers a breath of fresh air in the videogame football scene.

Comes with nice graphics, fresh visuals and an immediate gameplay, enriched by an intuitive and simple control system. Maybe too simple: you can shot your enemies just by "touching" them, while the one-on-one fights work like a sort of quick time events sequence. A good action game, overall, but surely not the best one.

Finally the real and original sequel of all time classic videogame Dragon's Lair in our pocket: a little laser disc game avaiable everywhere, anytime! Of course the gameplay is very limited and old style, but if you like this kind of products, this is one of the best of the genre.

Combo Quest could've been a great game, but it's just a small fun arcade with some RPG elements.

Badland: Game of the Year Edition maintains the same good structure and beautiful appearance of the original on mobile system, but in the console environment its simple concept can be too limiting and the transition from the intuitive touch-sensitive controls to the standard controller feels like a step back.

RiftStar Raiders is a solid, challenging roguelike twin stick shooter, with ten complex missions, plenty of different enemies to fight and a nice upgrade system.

The Conduit is a solid FPS with a great control system and an excellent online multiplayer for up to twelve players and Wii Speak support. It's not the "next-gen graphics" we were waiting for, and the level design is bland, but it still worth the buy if you like this kind of games.

Regardless of its faults, Assassin's Creed II: Discovery is a far better game than its prequel. With the idea of imitating the original design dropped for good, Discovery feels now like a traditional side-scrolling platform. In the end the game mixes a good level design with flat pace, simple fights and boring, frustrating stealth sessions.

Hauntii is full of character on an artistic level, while it turns out to be less centered and brave in terms of gameplay. Often confusing and unpolished from a technical point of view, Hauntii is a swinging experience, beautiful during the exploration phases, while frustrating in the fights and in the resolution of many puzzles.

A short and insipid dlc which doesn't add nothing to the original game. Five dollars are just too many for this kind of experience.

Meltdown does nothing new but in the right way. It's a simple and old fashioned third person shooter with a basic yet addictive progression system for the main character. If you just want to shoot at 360 degrees, rather with another player in coop, then Meltdown is a good choice.

Injustice is a fight game like "infinity Blade", with characters represented by cards. The experience and the other features increase only with the fights; however, a card game is another thing.

Roller Champions is a good experience, but Ubisoft decided to publish it without many of the core features of this kind of games. It's fun, but for how long?

This is a good MOBA with several interesting ideas but with a couple of flaws in the gameplay.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a much better effort if you look back to last year PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game. Still, Team Ninja ha a long way to go to get this saga back on track to glory.

Slave Zero X is a hack'n'slash featuring complex fighting mechanics that would have benefited from more time in the oven, especially for people not willing to learn dozens of special moves right off the gate. Despite its exquisite 2.5D graphics and good music and voice acting, gameplay mechanics are let down by its varying difficulty and an overall fatigue that sets in even before the 8/10 hours of the main campaign are over.

Star Fox Zero is hard to master, but eventually the new control system works pretty well. Even if not all the vehicles are equally fun to play, the game is a convincing comeback of a much beloved franchise.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is exactly what we expected from an extended version of the last episode in the series: some new characters, a new campaign and a few minor changes to the gameplay.

A really classical Jrpg with a good mix of strategy and action, recommended to all hardcore gamers. The main drawbacks are its average story and the too simple subquests.

Shinobi is totally old school: it can be freakingly hard, relies on a complex rating system and is a pure 2D Action fest! It's by no means perfect, but fans of the Golden Age of videogames will love it; it's a no-compromises games, requires a no-compromises dedition, gives a no-compromises satisfaction.

Jurassic World Evolution lacks of depth in the management part, but has great dinosaurs to look at.

Q.U.B.E. is a very interesting indie production that will delight fans of environmental puzzles and, in some ways, stands as a possible complement to Portal 2.

Cryostasis is not a game for everyone. It's a game the player has to play from the start until the end to understand it. It's slow and fast at the same time, anachronistic and futuristic in many aspects of the gameplay. It's too linear but so fascinating in the plot. For sure it leaves something in the brain of the player. But usually it's a negative feeling.

The game is a wonderful pirate experience with good graphics but with some limitations in the roleplaying aspects of the gameplay in comparison to the first Risen.

As a free game, Word Monsters is more than decent: however, it doesn’t take too long to see that it really doesn’t have much to offer.

Minimun has some good ideas in it. Too bad that some mechanics have yet to be adjusted and for the lack of content.

If you loved the old Micro Machines, Toybox Turbos is the title you've been waiting. Funny, competitive and graphically inspired, is only lacking in courage, not offering anything new compared to the original series which is deeply connected.

King of Thieves is an nice mix of platform and puzzle, with a solid single player campaign and an interesting asynchronous multiplayer mode, but also a despicable freemium approach.

Super Exploding Zoo is a nice and fun puzzle game which lacks in strategical depth. Furthermore it's pretty short and too easy to finish.

​Fall of Light is a nice game with some huge problem that lead down the entire gameplay​.

The Survivalists is only another survival game, but a good one.

Disney Magical World 2: Enchanted Edition offers a new adventure between the disney realms, a bit in the style of Animal Crossing.

The hybrid nature of Puzzle Quest 3 is still intact in its core gameplay: matching colors, fighting creatures and managing characters and builds is still enjoyable, but the free-to-play structure feels more like a regression than an evolution.

A scepter to tame them, a scepter to find them, a scepter to bring them all and in the dark bind them. More or less. Let's say that poetic freedom is a must since Unexplored 2: The wayfarer's Legacy is a not too veiled tribute to Tolkien's work.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a simple and straightforward title. If you are looking for an asymmetrical title that will make you smile, this could be for you. On the contrary, however, the experience is really basic, without any particular flicker. The AI is deficient, the situations that follow are often repetitive beyond belief and the lack of depth in the gameplay also turns into listlessness on the part of the player. Perhaps Illfonic's best release so far, albeit with a lot to improve.

Red River succefully manages to offer something different from the typical FPS of these days, but its structure and the quite shallow level design makes it difficult to appeal to everyone.

LEGO The Incredibles is a fun addition to the LEGO games franchise but TT Games somehow lowered the bar and aimed especially at younger players with few open world puzzles, simple objectives and tons of uninspired QTEs.

Ok It's for free and that's good, but the balance issues, the small number of maps and some not well designed features make it a missed opportunity.

Chaosbane has a good structure and can count on the charm of the Warhammer universe, but contents are missing and there are lots of bugs.

Harold Halibut is a touchy narrative adventure with a strong personality, due to stop motion technique.

While a polished and ultimately well-thought product, Blue Dragon Plus fails to impress due largely to repetitive and shallow battles. Production values are high, characters are good and there are many elements to deal with, but this game will be a high priority only for the most hardcore Blue Dragon fans.

Sea of Solitude The Director's Cut is a new game, yet it is still itself. It's not much better or worse, it's just a different way of saying the same thing.

World Cup on the iPhone is really a minor step forward compared to Fifa 10; the fact that this game is basically an enhanced version of the original N-Gage edition is a big problem, and EA should really think about investing on a brand new project to create a soccer game that lives up the quality of the Fifa series.

Not only One Epic Games is too similar to other running games on iOS, but it completely fails to offer a well-balanced gameplay, stumbling on its own randomness.

Cobalt has a deep learning curve. Is tough and challenging, thanks to slow motion mechanics, and tons of weapons. We have the story, playable both in single and co-op, but also a large number of funny arcade modes.

Knack 2 does everything better than it's predecessor. We have now a deeper combat system, more variety, and a good level design. Knack 2 is now the family game that the first chapter could have been.

Siege Survival: Gloria Victus is a good game overall, with some minor flaws here and there. It's not a game for everyone, despite having multiple and entertaining modes.

Kao the Kangaroo is a solid and colorful platformer that unmistakably harks back to the PSX and PS2 years.

Fifa 13 on Wii U is just Fifa 12 with less game modes, a poor online mode and some new GamePad features. It's a shame that most of them are pretty bland, if not useless at all.

Scotland Yard is a perfect conversion of the famous board game; a must buy for the fans, and something to check out for the lovers of the genre.

New York Underground is the first premium DLC for The Division and it's very good and funny to play. Good job Massive with the new incursion too.

Sea of Thieves may not be the best pirate game in terms of content, but it is surely a lot of fun to play.

Too much chaos will kill you. Okhlos if fun, but for a very short time.

Rust is a brutal game, an intense and often sadistically punishing hell with a great potential and a new look.

Thymesia falls into that bracket of indie souls-like games that fail to fully convince. It knows how to entertain and, fortunately, the combat system has its own distinct identity, more original than many other experiments released in recent years. At the same time it is a game with few areas, few enemy types, and a difficulty level that should be slightly refined. The visual presentation is also far from refined. Fans of the genre might give it a chance, without too much of a rush.

Buddy Rush is a new kind of Social Game, a 60 levels RPG with facebook integration full of strategy and tactics; if you are looking for something like that, this is a good choice.

Greedy Penguins is packed with a lot of levels and comes with some funny graphics, but fails to deliver. The touch controls are pretty unresponsive and the physics-based puzzles are all but flawless.

The Rhythm of Fighters is a simple, fun rhythm game with some of the most famous SNK characters, but we expected a better selection of music from a game like that.

Assassin's Creed Identity brings the original gameplay of the series to mobile devices, and the overall result is nicer than we thought.

A good concept and a nice gameplay are the basis of Aftercharge, a team based first person shooter that could shine with a good support and more contents.

Oceanhorn 2 is an impressive achievement in terms of graphics, environments and overall quality, improving the experience of the first episode in many ways.

Tannenberg is a good WWI FPS online, but actually there aren't enough players on the servers.

Shadows of Doubt is an amazing game, but with too much untapped potential, too many issues and unpredictable outcomes. Let’s hope it keeps getting developed, enriched, and perfected. It deserves it.

Sandlot tried to make the best episode ever for Earth Defense Force, delivering a very long campaign that can be played both in single or multiplayer. What a pity the graphics can't get the job done.

AO Tennis 2 is definitely not a revolutionary title in the videogame tennis scene, but it largely fulfills its duty, that is to entertain tennis fans who want more than just the usual games on TV.

Football Manager Handheld 2010 is still the best football management simulation available on portable devices, but it didn't change that much since last year effort. Browsing via d-pad is still slow and cumbersome, while the visual simulation of the match is really awful.

Resident Evil 6 comes to the PC with the same flaws and the same strengths of the console versions, with some overall better graphics but awful textures.

Duels of Planeswalkers is the perfect digital version of the Wizards' card game. But it's really bad at the same time you can't create your own deck and the PC version doesn't have any new feature respect the one-year-older Xbox 360 version.

Quotation forthcoming.

Order of War is a polished real strategy game with a well optimized engine and some fun missions but It has no innovations, trying to be good both for rts fans and newbies without satisfying any of them.

Oz: Broken Kingdom delivers a visually fascinating - but also linear and sometimes repetitive - turn-based combat experience.

Packed with cartoon-style graphics, drifting-based gameplay and plenty of nitro boosts, Need for Speed: Nitro for Nintendo Wii is a fun, addictive and spectacular racer.

The Eye of Judgment is a niche game which will appeal only fans of the genre. As such, this porting is obviously a quite complete production which is based on the very same solid and deep rules of the original game, allowing a deep customization.

Devil Invasion delivers a particular mix of puzzle game and tower defense that works good, with lots of stages to complete and four different spells to cast. Give it a try.

Quotation forthcoming.

Hey! Pikmin is a divisive game: although it lacks the depth of the main series, it offers a pleasant, stress-free experience. Fans of the franchise will probably be disappointed, but newcomers and kids might find it interesting enough to check on the next true Pikmin.

Oblitus has good ideas and presentation, but it falls short on its respawn concept. Ullmann resources mast have truly limited if he decided to stick to an arcade-style game instead of adding more complexity and a RPG-esque sense of progression.

The PSP version of Need for Speed SHIFT remains anchored in the classic style of the series. The driving model is arcade, with very few concessions to realism. The number of cars is not very high, but the prizes system works good as usual: you can unlock upgrades and extras if you keep driving the same car.

An interesting free to play game with some potential to expand in future updates.

Sky Tourist is a fresh, original and fun action puzzle game, packed with lots of levels and nice graphics, but it's also very frustrating.

Dino Hunter: Deadly Shores is a solid spin-off of Deer Hunter, with nice graphics and a good number of missions.

Basketball Pro Management 2015 is full of statistics and potential but lacks in terms of accessibility and intensity.

Scarf is a very simple game that offers a limited experience. It ends up being a relaxing platformer, which does not engage the player too much in the three hours that it lasts.

Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is the classic game from ACE Team: stylistically splendid, it requires the player to accept its peculiar dynamics in order to truly appreciate it.

If you're looking for a card game and you're in love with the poker Runespell: Overture could be your game but keep in mind it has no multiplayer and the gameplay can be extremely repetitive.

Quotation forthcoming.

An odd mix between adventure, FPS and platform, with outstanding atmosphere. Graphics are not alway on par with the rest.

This is simply the best chapter of the series.
