Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is a classic and dated beat'em up with a poor graphics and a not perfect gameplay. But it will satisfy any fan of the manga. If you are not among them, you should definitely look somewhere else.

Mutant Roadkill is an interesting variation on the theme of running games, since you drive a car and must kill as many mutants you can by running over them.

Natural Doctrine is definitely one of the most hardcore and ruthless tactical RPGs available, but it's also deeply flawed in almost every field to worth the hassle.

Flint: Treasure of Oblivion is riddled with issues, particularly in its fundamental gameplay aspects.

White Knight Chronicles II is a good quality sequel that fixed most of the errors of the first episode. It's not perfect, not a next-generation RPG, not a masterpiece, but is a pretty good game, if compared to the (low) current rating of similar products.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with a brand new medley of funny Olympic events.

We eagerly awaited the return of Endless Ocean. Unfortunately, Luminous has largely disappointed expectations. The gameplay and level design are so ephemeral that relaxing while exploring the seabed is too boring and lacks any appeal.

Curse of the Sea Rats is a beautiful jewel, shimmering and inviting, full of interesting ideas from an artistic and characterization point of view, but it is insubstantial to the touch. Nice to see, a little less to play. Flat and unbalanced. A pity, given the whole series of excellent choices taken about powers, skills and improvements.

Shrek: Forever After - The Game looks like a Crash Bandicoot clone, which is not a bad thing: the green ogre jumps, turns on itself, breaks crates and fights enemies through a series of very colorful stages. The basic gameplay is also accompanied by a series of alternative sections that involve the accelerometer and enrich a control system otherwise based solely on the touch screen. Unfortunately, the virtual d-pad is really unresponsive and makes the overall experience frustrating and cumbersome.

We can praise the concept behind Arma Tactics and the strategical basis on which the game is structured, but the many flaws of its production ultimately make it an interesting idea not well fulfilled.

Some good ideas but with a price too high and with too many limits.

Winter Ember is a game with nice ideas, but it is blocked by many small problems. The control system is always awkward, especially with the controller, and the combat system should be completely overhauled. The storyline is enjoyable and will push many to make it through to the finale, helped by a well-crafted area design, but limited by a too-close view.

Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince is what you might expect from an average tie-in, if not a little bit less: it's aimed only at harcore fans, and yet it could disappoint because of the shallowness of the plot and the poor cutscenes.

Despite all the odds, Metal Gear Survive delivers a rich, solid, deep action survival experience.

Karateka remake is a solid effort with casual audience in mind, there's very few challenge for the player. Game is unbelievably short and simplified, rhythmical parry is a nice idea overall, but we expect something more ambitious from this reboot.

The Technomancer offers action and intriguing plot for the destiny of humanity on Mars.

All-Star Fruit Racing is a nice and funny fruit-based racing game, but it has some minor gameplay problems.

Burning Skies does a decent job in terms of experimentation, thanks to the "hybrid" controls, but the graphics are worse than expected and the single player campaign does nothing new for the series.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a bizarre mix of sensations. The latest effort from Rocksteady Studios is a fantastic game on a narrative level, full of brilliantly written characters, completely off-the-wall situations and truly epic scenes, which moreover can count on a solid, frantic and fun gameplay even in the most messy and confusing moments, especially in co-op. It is a pity that the open world doesn't support these elements with more conviction.

Kandagawa Jet Girls is a lovely game but when it comes to its core mechanic, the jet-ski action, struggles to offer a decent challenge and cannot provide any kind of entertainment.

With the strength of an ant, Point Blank Games managed to create an open world full of opportunities, even though the challenge was evidently larger than the size of the studio. The game has potential, but with a rigid and clunky combat system and many technical issues, it ended up collapsing under the weight of its own ambitions.

Decay: The Mare is a good point and click horror adventure with an UI simple enough for everyone.

Amusing rally game with nice price, the XP system is engaging. Short career but tons of modes. Graphic engine can run at 60fps, but lack detail.

De-formers is a funny brawler game that let you choose a squishy blob to fight in different arenas.

The long awaited final version of Days of War is richer and better than the Early Access alpha, but still feels far from finished.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 is a simple, nice platformer for all the young gamers out there.

Inazuma Eleven Strikers lost all the charm and inventiveness featured in the portable incarnations of the franchise: this Wii version is just a clunky arcade soccer game with tons of fan service and not really much more than that.

While it is not the AAAA production Ubisoft envisioned, as well as ultimately a project with in many ways untapped potential, Skull and Bones can rely on a number of tremendously solid aspects: the rendering of navigation and the sea, with its wonderful charm and the myriad discoveries that can be made; the combat system, surprisingly multifaceted and engaging; and the progression, very solid and well balanced, with so much still to be said. Sure, there are several things the developers could have done differently, the plot is glaringly inconsistent, and the long traversals are tough to deal with, but the chest we unearthed after so much waiting did not prove empty, quite the contrary.

Okabu is fresh, fun, immediate, "colorful" in many ways as its very nice cel shaded graphics. The environmental puzzles become more complex as you progress through the levels, but the game is never really challenging. However, the overall experience is worth it.

The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is, first and foremost, a beautiful missed opportunity. If you are a fan of both survival games and The Lord of the Rings, we still recommend you step into the armor of a dwarf and experience what the studio has crafted, but the game is far away from achieving any modern standards in survival experiences, so stay away from it if you're not into Tolkien works.

This is the Zodiac Speaking is an interesting project penalized by an inadequate technical realization.

Despite some qualities in level design and ideas, Zip Slash has not enough to justify his new platform skin. Flaws and framerate takes down a lengthy but mostly unremarkable adventure.

A zombie survival game with a good crafting system and an action-rpg like gameplay. Too bad for the technical and graphical issues and its monotone action.

Dark Void sounds a lot like a missed opportunity. Flying sections are good, but samey, and ground ones are nice, but could have been much better and Dark Void is over a little too soon, too.

Unknown 9: Awakening is a work that lives within the contradictions between AAA video game ambitions and ideas, and an execution that falls below contemporary standards: while Reflector Entertainment has focused everything on telling the story of Haroona (Anya Chalotra) and building the universe of the Nine Unknown, the technical execution has ended up becoming an insurmountable obstacle.

Immortal Legacy: The Jade Cipher is a decent shooter with some adventure elements and a surprisingly long campaign, but also cumbersome controls and mediocre graphics.

Mario Party: The Top 100 is a pretty nice compilation of mini games but those are not enough to keep players entertained for a long time. Unfortunately the lack of multiplayer online modes trash away all the good things: no friends, no party.

Six-Guns is not a true clone of Red Dead Redemption, as you might expect. It's indeed a fast-paced third person shooter, with lots of missions to complete, some very nice graphics and a large world to explore.

An old style adventures that will captivate casual gamers but that cannot compete with the classics: Paul Cuisset signature led to higher expectations.

Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul is slightly better than last year's Brave Soldiers but still stumbles on too many issues such as the repetitive roster, poor gameplay choices and terrible fighting dynamics. Visuals are good and fanservice is OK, if anything.

This is a game that surely captures some of the hot spots which made the movie a cult one. Problems arise when you think about the not so satisfying combat system, the repetitive puzzles and the less than average graphics. If you are a real Saw fan you may actually consider a purchase.

Lucidity has stiff commands and some of the levels seems drawn at random, but it has a fantastic visual style.

Not the revival we were looking for. The nostalgia is strong with this one, but the spirit of the series is not. The oversimplification of the mechanics, lack of content and unbalanced cars in battles make this only a slightly decent arcade racing game. It's truly a pity, because - like its predecessors - it has its moments when played with friends, and the elimination mode is great fun.

MJ The Experience is nice thanks to a polished gameplay, but the 4 playable songs included are a shame.

NBA Live 15 is better than NBA Live 14: the gameplay has definitely been improved but it still suffers from clumsy controls and stiff animations. A few good changes and some additional game modes can’t make a good videogame.

Let's start with a premise: beware of those who, overcome by frustration and difficulty, will tell you that there's nothing good in Splatterhouse. This remake pays tribute to the original arcade game in the best possible way, adding details and time travels to an already engaging story. The gameplay is extremely raw and unforgiving, which will make you scream out of frustration several times, but it also will definitely keep you glued to the screen for all twelve levels.

There are way too many party games on Wii: that's why the main issue of Pac-Man Party is that it does absolutely nothing to stand out in the crowd.

Mars: War Logs is an interesting take on sci fi RPG, bestowed with a fascinating background and robust hack'n'slashing. On the other hand, it lacks depth and optimization in many of its features, ultimately resulting in a mixed bag.

The question therefore arises: why should a Warcraft 3 player buy Reforged?

An incredible, for all the wrong reasons, AI literarly kills an otherwise surprising conversion.

Despite some interesting gameplay ideas, Rogue Trooper Redux is afflicted by a weak atmosphere and many limitations compared with nowadays videogames.

Water is hydrophobia's main attraction. The problem is that there isn't much else to entertain yourself with. Still worth a try if you don't fear water.

Gods Will Fall has some good ideas, but it never gets it right.

There are a few welcome additions, which fans will surely appreciate, but Dynasty Saga's gameplay and structure are getting more and more boring and old.

DUST 514 is free-to-play and it's got some potential, but definitely fails to deliver.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact is far too easy and repetitive, and it's got some very poor AI. The cel shaded characters are very nice to see, however, and there are plenty of missions to complete for the die-hard fans of the anime.

Face Noir is a solid adventure that plays safe instead of taking some risks. There are some new ideas that need to be further developed and a well thought story that often slips into genre cliché. All in all a good debut that could lead to interesting improvements in its second chapter.

Lego Worlds on Nintendo Switch keeps the fun of the title intact but it's a conversion with some technical issues.

In terms of narration and atmosphere, Blacksad: Under the Skin is true to the comic album series. However, problems concerning some interactive components and the presence of bugs and glitches can’t be ignored.

To ensure the sufficiency of the title of Torus Games there is the game system that remains well-grounded in concepts and sufficiently malleable to let you play. All the rest, however, is a series of stumbles and falls of style that find very little explanation. Not only an unjustifiable lack of content, but above all a little attention to detail that displaces those who are in front of it.

Ferrari: the Race Experience, waiting for Gran Turismo 5, is a good racing game based on realistic phisic and simulative gameplay; thanks to all the glamor that only Ferrari can give with its cars, and the budget price, the graphic problems can be easly overcome. So, for a PS3 fan of racing games in abstinence, it's highly suggested.

Despite a good concept and the important brand, LEGO Battles: Ninjago is a RTS excessively lacking depth and visual quality even for the the little kids the game is obviously aimed to.

Faery - Legends of Avalon is a good budget role-play game with plenty of ideas a some control and structural problems.

Thanks to some neat ideas, Rabbids Rumble is something more than just a common minigames compilation but not enough to be more than mediocre.

Lifeless Planet fails to develop its strong points. It’s a good try that has totally wasted its potential.

A half-success experiment, Dream is the first videogame from English software house Hypersloth.

Quotation forthcoming.

Necropolis puts its bases on very solid foundations, losing too quickly because of design choices are not always the best, entrusted to increased difficulties and never too stimulating.

UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves should not be purchased if you are looking for a new great game to complete. If you dive into it with this idea, it's very likely that you will be disappointed. This new game from Microids is instead a kind of monument to a great author and one of his most beloved robots, a collectible piece to be placed between the action figure of Mazinger Z and the collection of comic books dedicated to Getter Robot.

Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar delivers a compelling adventure, with lots of quests and basic touch controls.

Painkiller is the namesake song by Judas Priest — but sung by Blanco with autotune. It pretends to have the same toughness, but it’s really just the voice of an off-key kid propped up by an algorithm. What it truly is, is a generic co-op FPS with little content, not even saved by a few decent shootouts. In short, it’s better left in Purgatory — along with its cast of characters constantly cracking embarrassing jokes. Skip it and move on to something else; you won’t miss a thing, because there’s very little “Painkiller” here at all.

Asphalt Overdrive is an interesting spin-off to the popular arcade racing series, an endless-like action game with a good number of missions, cars and modes.

The Deer God is great in its pixelated art, bringing the player into a fairy-tale emotionally intriguing. As time goes by, the flaws in the gameplay become more evident, as well as some annoying bug.

Ignite delivers a fun gameplay, a good number of tracks and nice graphics, all for a bargain price. The game lacks of personality, though, since there are only a few differences between each car.

Sonic Lost World on Nintendo 3DS starts as an enjoyable ride which lasts until technical problems, a mediocre design and some really frustrating gameplay elements come up and crash the party.

This HD version of Abyss features some new missions, remastered graphics and the same hardcore gameplay of the original game.

Expedition Zero offers an interesting setting, but also some extremely dated mechanics, an outdated interface and an abundance of technical flaws that undermine the experience from the very beginning.

A title that aims to simulate the orientation difficulties tipical of the Dakar stages, but can’t reach his goal due to an unconvincing driving model.

While TRON: Evolution came as a nice tie-in both on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Wii version is very different. Battle Grids comes as a simple, mediocre party game indeed, with some of the worst controls we've ever experienced on the Nintendo console.

The Chase could be a a fresh and nice little game, but unfortunately the horrible save system ruins almost everything.

Epic Mickey 2's new features bring plenty of content and side quest that enrich the original structure but also strengthen many flaws in the gameplay. The Disney universe, however, finds in this game one of the most powerful and charming expressions.

An unremarkable plot and short play time make The Inpatient feel like a missed opportunity.

Asterix & Obelix XXL 3 is the third installment in the series: it introduces the local multiplayer mode, but sacrifices the variety of gameplay.

South Park: Snow Day! doesn't live up to the franchise's past triumphs in the gaming sphere because it's repetitive, unoriginal and fun only with friends who are fans of the series.

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.

An entertaining thriller that does not leave its mark as hoped.

Crysis Remastered is available on PlayStation 4 and is still fun. But technically speaking it's not a miracle.

Heroes of Dragon Age ends up being a game you can hardly say you’re actually playing, with its focus on in-app purchases and a gameplay with way too limited interaction.

Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories has arrived, and it has many good ideas; but also a rather lacking technical realization.

Mario Kart Tour is a fun – and free – racing game. It's always online, and it never lags. But characters and karts aren't varied as usual, there are too many elements to buy, and its control system is simple, but not intuitive.

The Spirit of the Samurai is a project born from an aesthetic idea: creating a stop motion action game. However, this vision failed to translate into enjoyable gameplay, plagued by control issues, a combat system that never truly shines, and forgettable platforming sections.

Some technical difficulties on PlayStation 4 and huge difficulty spikes hinders a game with some good ideas and a wonderful setting.

After Assembly Required, we're more convinced than ever that Minecraft: Story Mode simply aims to bring quick cash into Telltale pockets.

Bleach: The 3rd Phantom is a true surprise: it's a neat and enjoyable strategic RPG especially aimed at the fans of the series who will find all their favourite characters and villains in a single cartridge. Casual players will probably be annoyed by the lengthy cutscenes and slow battles, however it's rare to play such a well made niche-oriented game.

If you haven't had enough of match-3 puzzle games, then Diamond Digger Saga can be a fun and entertaining title to play.

Blade Kitten is a controversial platform / action game, with some strenghts (Kit can do almost everything, from climbing the walls to fight with a flying sword) and some flaws (the level design is mediocre, the combat system is simplistic and there are some minor bugs). With its nineteen levels, the game will entertain you for a few hours.

Episode Gladio is kind of a weird DLC: it might have been a nice addition to the main quest but it actually works well by itself as an action packed mission which also deepens some interesting side stories. With some good replayability and a few astounding musical tracks, it will keep fans of Final Fantasy XV busy for a couple hours at a somewhat cheap price.

The disturbing idea of a child that kills innocent people is good enough for a murder or two. Then it simply bores you to death.
