Pokémon Link: Battle! is an extremely competent "match 3" rich with many stages to unlock and play through. It gets repetitive after a while but its addicting gameplay and an entire PokéDex to fill make it perfect for short-burst sessions on the go.

Smash Hit delivers an immediate, atmospheric "endless" experience, packed with simple touch controls and nice graphics and sounds.

It’s basically a Subway Surfers clone, with some light references to the TV show and definitely too much emphasis on IAPs.

10 Second Ninja is a very simple but well designed time attack platform.

Yoshi's New Island is not a bad game, but neither the game that the green dinosaur deserved for his comeback. Derivative, too easy and with a bland level design, this is ultimately a nice but easily forgettable experience.

Kung Fu Rabbit is a good mobile game which has seen no innovations in its console conversion. It remains a good platform, but will 3DS gamers give it the chance it deserves? With a very low price tag, the possibility is there, at least for those who are looking for a fast and quick game to play every now and then.

Out There brings a great and melancholic journey in deep space, but the extreme reliance on luck can be frustrating.

This is the concept of a sequel everyone should adopt. "Bigger better" means nothing if amazing players are not the top priority. With Dark Souls II, From Software managed to do one simple thing: bring back the next-gen crown on PS3 and X360.

Tower of Guns is a good FPS roguelike. The only real flaw is the confusion of some areas.

Turns out Aeterno Blade is that kind of game which is filled with good intentions: it's interesting and engaging and it offers plenty of customization but once you hit the road not everything works as it should.

The LEGO Movie Videogame is just an okay entry in TT Games long-lasting franchise, but it fails to deliver the charm and the humour of the parodies we have gotten used to, hence failing to grasp any attention and curiosity of a grown-up audience.

Ikaruga on PC is the same great classic shooter seen on the other platforms.

Second Chance Heroes is a solid, engaging dual analog action game, packed with a lot of levels and heroes to unlock (via IAPs, basically).

It was about time, but finally the final release of World of Tanks is on Xbox Live. The slow and tactical gameplay feels very good on the gamepad.

Though it lacks the variety of D-Day, Frontline Commando 2 is a solid, fun shooter, with a good single player campaign and a nice upgrade system.

A bright and bold take on the popular multiplayer shooter format.

Bug Heroes 2 comes with lots of different characters to unlock, three rich single player modes, online multiplayer and some very nice graphics and controls.

Steel Diver: Sub Wars is a well made arcade shooter with some tactical gameplay. Its single player is rich and satisfying, and the online multiplayer is engaging and addictive. However, its main point is the free-to-play model Nintendo has chosen to adopt: it's really sincere and consumer-friendly, and all gamers should wish more and more producers to adopt it.

Eschalon: Book III is a very classic RPG that starts too slowly. It's a game rich of contents but you have to overcome a big wall to get the gold.

A flawed game which clones the other games of the same developer. Consider it only if you like the idea of manage a ski resort.

Retro City Rampage is a weak 2D version of GTA, with a lot of difficult and repetitive missions. Its pixel art is impersonal, and the story has no sense at all(which is different from nonsense). Music and controls are the best part of the game, but they aren't good enough to separate the game from mediocrity.

Robot Rescue Revolution is colorful, smart and challenging, but gets repetitive and frustrating too soon and too often. Multiplayer mode is kind of disappointing.

Clementine is the best this season has to offer so far, and it gets better after every minute of playing. Beside her development, A House Divided places all its devices at the right place and we can only hope the narrative bomb will set off in the upcoming episode.

The same formula of Tiny Towers, Pocket Planes and Pocket Trains doesn’t seem to work here, and Disco Zoo feels like a half-baked attempt: maybe it’s time for NimbleBit to try something new.

Threes! is simply one of the best puzzle games of the last 10 years. Believe the hype.

The game is probably too many years old nowadays but this version is without any doubt the best you can play.

Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition is a nice take on the original game, packed with some extra modes and upgraded graphics.

The Stick of Truth is a hilarious journey, an all-around excellent RPG and one of the best tie-ins of all time. A few shortcomings held it back from a higher score, but do not misunderstand us: to South Park fans this really is a masterpiece to brag about.

Only One is a simple but compelling action game, that delivers a fun, intense combat experience.

Simply put, Rambo: The Video Game may be the worst game of the year.

Senran Kagura Burst hides a satisfying combat system behind a shameless presentation which would piss any activist for women's rights off. It's Japanese to its very core and somewhat repetitive, still lots of fun.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a solid entry for the series, delivering an intense, visually stunning adventure that is best experienced on PC.

Potentially a great game, Horizon lacks of the necessary polishing to maintain its promises.

It might be a somewhat disappointing porting with its 30 fps cap and everything, however Tales of Symphonia still shines as one of the best jRPG in the long lasting series and Dawn of the New World, mediocre as it is, is a decent enough closure which adds even more hours to an already lengthy adventure.

Royal Revolt 2 is a good game, with consistent mechanics and pretty visuals, but some of its new features are not convincing and the freemium part is very limiting.

Weapon Shop de Omasse is a neat twist on the jRPG formula which makes fun of the most common tropes to deliver a fun ryhthm game plagued by a weird pace and too much repetitiveness.

A long, mysterious journey across an alien world that eludes our logic and communicates with us through its architectural madness.

Garden Warfare is a fun, addictive third-person action shooter that manages to stay true to the Plants vs. Zombies series.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is no doubt a good game, but fails to deliver all of its promises. Combat mechanics are tailored for core gamers, but besides that the game fails to deliver a correct balance of old and new features, but first of all it's too derivative.

Powered by a single developer, Banished is a unique city-builder game with a strong sandbox component. Deep and technically well done, is a recommended purchase for all fans of the genre.

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.

Clear Vision 3 brings to the table the same, solid mechanics and some new ideas. You have to pay to get them though.

The game is a really competent "My first adventure" sort of game. Its main points are the links to the old adventures of 80s and 90s and the great respect it shows to the cartoon. Unfortunately it is also a really short experience, and the price you have to afford to buy it, at least in Europe, is not justified at all.

Thief is a good game that fans of the stealth genre will appreciate but it has several gameplay flaws that keep it far from being a new masterpiece.

Inazuma Eleven has not aged very well and with the latest installment (Team Ogre Attacks!) hitting stores right now there's really no reason to dig into the most bastic iteration in the franchise, unless you are an avid Inazuma Eleven fan.

This new episode doesn’t introduce any new elements in the gameplay but the new content is perfect for the fan of the original game.

Ys: Memories of Celceta is a solid action RPG which will appeal fans of the franchise and newcomers thanks to some enjoyable characters and plenty of action. It is visually pretty too.

Visual novels do not have a widespread audience, although Danganronpa is one of the most enjoyable we had the chance to play thanks to some well designed minigames which make the experience much more interesting.

Crowman & Wolfboy is a competent autorunner, but you might end up enjoying it more for how it looks and sounds than for how it actually plays.

Vibrant, synesthetic, brilliant. The best version of Tempest is also Jeff Minter at his highest.

It might not be the most amazing technical showcase for the new consoles, but still Rayman Legends is a marvelous game and the best 2D platformer out there.

Hoplite is the perfect example of how you can create a roguelike in a bunch of days and get the job done.

Loadout is one of the titles that can overcome the widespread skepticism towards the Free to play games: funny, hilarious and with a deep customization system of equipment, it can be enjoyed without spending money.

The new Strider isn't maybe the best example of a balanced metroidvania style, but ultimately represents a good actualization of a classic that could have been too old for modern standards.

Fable Anniversary is still a fun game and its drawbacks lay inside the original game's faults and game design choices. Beneath all of these, there's still a fun game worth exploring if you didn't have the chance ten years ago.

Pyro Jump is an immediate and fun action puzzler, but it's also a demanding one since you have to be very accurate in order to complete the later levels.

Like its predecessor, Eliss Infinity proves that a simple idea specifically based on the use of touch screen is the best foundation to build a delightful puzzle game for mobile platforms.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is mostly very good, often great, but never brilliant. The lack of fresh ideas and the nonexistent GamePad and Miiverse support makes us think about the real weight of the project.

The way Inazuma Eleven 3 has been published in Europe makes no sense whatsoever and ultimately sinks a good entry in a franchise which is really starting to get old.

The beginning is so sweet, with gags to be discovered all over around us. And they almost always deliver. But then, after an hour or so, minigames take over and fun fades away. Still: how many other games make us laugh out loud like this?

A tasty mix of old school graphics and modern gameplay dynamics, Toast Time is a fun, addictive and challenging game which leaves you wishing it had more levels to dig your teeth into.

A bold indie-RPG based on dialogues and misunderstandings.

The game has several technical flaws but on top of this it tries to emulate the western RPGs suffering with NPC you’ll forget easily and gameplay that fans of the series may not fully enjoy.

Insurgency is a rich and deep tactical first person shooter. Something is still missing but that something isn't gameplay or teamwork.

There's actually no one online to play Rekoil, and that's because the game was broken at the time of its release. Many problems were solved, but the experience is still dull and uninspiring.

Toukiden: The Age of Demons is actually a pretty good "hunting game" but it lacks the exceptional design choices which made our preys in the Monster Hunter series truly great. It's an OK substitute however, once you get over a few nuisances and gameplay issues.

Flappy Bird is very hard to rate. Is it a solid, hardcore experience? Or is it a simple tech demo made in a bunch of minutes? Well, both of these sentences are true.

Nice colors and a ton of glitter disguise a world full of dodgy characters and moral squalor. Bigby is constantly under pressure and we are immediately caught in a web of lies. This is the right turn for the series.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 is a realistic simulator like no other ones on the market.

Outlast will scare you and make you jump on your chair thanks to an almost perfect direction and sound design. However, the experience doesn't really stand out because of some limits.

Aside from some stylish visuals, John Woo’s debut on mobile gaming feels like a big disappointment: Bloodstroke is a repetitive and uninspired action game, flawed by some really incoherent design.

A brilliant comedy that takes place in a sandbox world. It's hilarious and poignant at the same time, and above anything else it's a lot of fun.

Despite the good ideas, in particular the introduction of the Echo, the latest work by Robot Entertainment does not reach the sufficiency due to a repetitive structure and to very problematic gameplay on PC.

Strike Vector delivers a hardcore multiplayer experience that's easy to learn but difficult to master.

UnEpic comes to Wii U basically unchanged, but with a couple of interesting new features. By the way, it's still a blast for all the metroidvania fans.

Kickbeat is a simple rhythm game enriched with martial arts. The result is an intuitive, maybe too simple and poor but very challenging game.

Despite the fact it has nothing to do with the original game, Dungeon Keeper still delivers a fun, enjoyable casual experience.

Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition on iPad is the same great game that we already know on PC. Unfortunately, the touch-based control system cannot deliver the same experience granted by the mouse-keyboard couple.

Castle Doombad is fun, immediate and packed with plenty of traps and levels. Undoubtedly one of the best tower defense games around.

Offering an intriguing mix of genres, Bardbarian is equally original and fun to play.

Papa Pear Saga is a fun, solid puzzle game, with plenty of levels and power-ups to unlock, even if you have to pay for them.

Archangel delivers a charming, visually stunning action RPG experience, but it fails to deliver due to an unfortunate mix of RTS controls and level design.

Tomb Raider is a highly accomplished reboot, and the term Definitive Edition goes well with this version of the game. The setting is excellent, the character's transformation is emotional and effective, and the pacing and variety of the gameplay are top notch. The Definitive Edition really is definitive but isn't worth a repeat buy for those who've already experienced Lara's story.

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is a somewhat interesting brawler which fails with some of its neatest ideas and delivers a moderate amount of fun until it becomes too much frustrating.

It can look too simple at first, but as soon as you get into its trick system OlliOlli becomes a sweet little game, challenging and rewarding. A perfect fit for Vita.

SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past has nothing new to offer. It is the same, old game with a single player campaign that is difficult to understand by anyone who hasn't played SpallForce 2: Shadow Wars.

Three years is a lot of time and we expected more from Mega Jump 2 than a harder, often frustrating update of the original game.

King Oddball is a fun albeit somewhat challenging puzzle game with a very smart concept. Too bad it can get a little too frustrating.

With Blackguards, Daedalic takes a step back both from narrative and gameplay perspectives. A boring quest, uninspiring characters and a frustrating combat system cast a shadow over some good ideas.

Might and Magic X: Legacy is a huge comeback for the series and a great way to celebrate the brand.

Even with a grimy netcode and a poor single-player mode, Nidhogg is a perfectly balanced multiplayer experience. Accessible for the average gamer, ideal for the pro and striking for an evening with some friends.

Don't Starve delivers a unique, deep and compelling survival experience. If permadeath is not a huge problem for you, then you'll enjoy this game so much.

Broken Age is the graphical adventure that we all have been waiting for the last 15 years. A great story with a great cast, pictured with stunning visual style, makes us wait eagerly for the Act 2.

RoboCop is a pretty competent shooter, packed with lots of missions and upgrades to unlock.

Even if it's undoubtedly a good action game, it's hard to literally fall in love with Shadow Blade, considering how short and unoriginal it actually is.

This isn't the best game in the series, but it's a fun and addictive puzzle game anyway. The traditional Dr.Mario is still here, and the new "Luigi mode" is an interesting addiction; the online play also works well. An essential and alternative version of a classic.

Without any doubt the PC version of Liberation HD is the best on the market.

After a fourth chapter that has pushed the boundaries of the series to another level of exploration and complexity, returning to Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD seems like a step back on the route of evolution. Anyway, Ubisoft has done very good work with the HD adaptation and if you wish to know something more about the Creed's universe and this charming character, the ticket to the 700's New Orleans is not too expensive.
