Dear Esther is a peculiar game. With its beautiful landscapes and script, some people could find it a great experience, others could hate the lack of interaction and the plain gameplay.

A pretty puzzle adventure game, with a lovely protagonist, an exciting mix of humour and violence. A lot of trial & error restrain the enjoyment somewhat.

Paper Monsters comes with a good number of levels, two extra modes, a decent level design and nice graphics. If you like platform games you might like this one.

Although fun, the gameplay of Michael Jackson: The Experience HD is very short, limited and lacks depth. Only the most enthusiastic fans of the King of The Pop will appreciate it.

A powerful technical showcase for PlayStation Vita, and a clear indication that the console can guarantee a good control scheme for every genre. Although a funny and competent game, it lacks the "peace" of the other chapters and is limited by another "mee too" story, without almost any memorable moments.

UFC Undisputed 3 is the new edition of THQ's popular franchise dedicated to mixed martial arts. The improved combat system, the simplified and fun career mode with a huge roster make this game the best MMA simulation of all time.

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is just like the console version, but thanks to the stunning screen of Vita it is also more beautiful. The touch functions definitely work but could make the complex combat system too easy and unbalanced.

Puddle is a hard puzzle-game that presents immediate and simple gameplay and an intense level design in a minimal visual dimension.

You can't help but having sort of a "been there, done that" feeling with Furmins, a competent physics puzzle game which unfortunately adds nothing new to the genre and also lacks the sheer brilliance of other similar games.

Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone is hard as hell. For beat it you have to make practice with the slow control system, but in the end is a good indie JRPG.

Stellar Impact is an intensive real time strategy. The players can customize their ships with weapons and powerfull skills and fight in interstellar warfare. Try it!

A new multiplayer online fps, a crazy way to play against other players. It's not really a masterpiece but surely you can obtain fun from every single match.

PixelJunk Eden delivers an engaging and meaningful experience, immersing you in an alternate reality while jumping from plant to plant, titillated by music and colors, progressively gaining more control over the inertial gameplay. If Q-Games' series always intrigued you, this is certainly an excellent opportunity to make its acquaintance.

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.

A worthy sequel, good variety and improved combat system. The difficulty curve is soften than predecessor, but not so much.

Kingdom Rush is an addictive Tower Defense for iPad, strictly based on strategy. There are no revolutions in the concept, but the full-strategic approach is a new way for the genre.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 is not a flawless game, especially if compared to the excellent Top Spin 4, but it is clearly a good step in a right direction. Innovative controls and the possibility to play in all of the four main tournaments make it a choice to take seriously in consideration by tennis fans.

Tough controls and an IAP system too intrusive are just two of the problems that spoil an otherwise good but far from stellar game.

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.

Caylus is the transposition of a famous Board Game, but the result, like Carcassonne, is very good. It's not a "standard" videogame so, the purchase, could interest just the fans.

Back in Action is a nice game, but some flaws in the artificial intelligence make it less engaging than it may have been. The Plan & Go system is a good try however, and we hope to see more of this in the future, but Jagged Alliance 2 is still on top.

King Arthur II improves many aspects of the formula that made the first chapter a valuable title. Even if it's still far from RTS like Total War this game is a great and deep dark fantasy tale full of big monsters, powerful fireballs and great heroes.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was a real jewel on the Nintendo DS and it's more so on the iOS platform, thanks to the high-resolution graphics and sounds. Don't miss it.

SOL: Exodus tries its best to bring back good old space shooters but it's too simple and poor to reach the objective.

Jazz: Trump's Journey is one of the most stylish platform on the App Store, but its wonderful graphics and beautiful soundtrack are the only strengths. Hopefully the next update will improve its flawed controls and the unforgivable localization.

The Darkness II is a frantic shooter with a great freedom to decide how to kill your enemy using the Darkness' powers, your weapons or the tentacles. The real problems are in the lack of a deep plot as the first Darkness and in the shortness of the single player campaign.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a huge game and a good mix of genres born to prove that CRPGs can have a good combat system.

Crush 3D is a solid Puzzle/Platformer which lacks the ingenuity of the masterpieces of the genre. It favors trial and error against pure smartness, and it requires a lot of patience; but it knows how to repay the most dedicated players.

Born as a spin-off for the already lackluster Gangstar: Miami Vindication, Urban Crime suffers from the well-known limits of the freemium approach, with very short missions and mediocre graphics.

Unstoppable Gorg combines innovation and tradition in the tower defense sub-genre, featuring a complex single player campaign and paying tribute to the '50s sci-fi movies.

Triple Town is not your average match-3 game, but it's a great mix of puzzle and strategy, much deeper than you might think.

Two years has passed since Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 has partly solved the problems that plagued the first attempt of Square Enix, with an interesting "monster collecting" part and a less linear gameplay. It's a shame that the story and character development are not as good as the original title.

This could've been a great improvement over the original formula, instead it's just a more of the same with the same problems of the first episode.

Haunt is a little nice game for Kinect. For its price, it deserves you and your family's time and attention. We hope you are not shy about walking for some hours in your living room.

Neverdead has a lot of good ideas, unfortunately they are doomed by a completely broken camera and a caotic and repetitive action. The dismemberment also is a non feature and it's broken too, adds nothing to the 3rd person shooting mechanic.

Oil Rush is a solid, nice looking RTS, with a good number of missions and a decent variety of maps. It's fun and enjoyable, especially for the fans of the genre, but it also suffers from a couple of annoying problems.

Very nice mix between strategy and word game, same great playability from iOS version, plus the multiplayer. English could be harsh for someone.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is definitely an huge collection, a quality and videogame culture rich one that should not be left out from any videogamer private collection. Series veterans and newcomers now have the opportunity to experience these games in HD.

SoulCalibur V is a great game with amazing visuals but above all what makes the game super fun to play are the new mechanics, easy to pull out but deep and perfectly devised in the legacy of the franchise.

Hero Academy is an online RTS that could be very funny, but game rythm is too slow, cause there's just the online mode. With a Single Player Campaign and a time limit during the turns it could become a very must buy for RTS lovers.

Revelations is a great technical achievement on the 3DS, and a competent and enjoyable product overall. It's a shame that the unacceptable enemy AI makes the experience much less thrilling that what could have been; but given the fact that it's on a portable console, you can easily forgive Capcom once more.

From the homonymous comic, an action platform with some variety. Combat system is slightly redundant and gameplay is frustrating in advanced levels.

Darkness Rush: Saving Princess is definitely a title that fans of Castlevania and gothic should take in great consideration. The simple and immediate gameplay, typical of the running games genre, is enriched by some elements that make the experience more enjoyable.

Monopoly is a great game, and Fortune Street does nothing to improve it, or to add something that only a videogame can do. There is an online mode, but sadly it's hard to find other players. A great board game, but just a decent videogame.

Fingle is a brilliant and very intimate mix between Twister and finger play. Sometimes it can be pretty difficult but we love the original and sexy way Game Oven took advantage of the iPad interface.

Soul Calibur is an excellent beat'em-up, with a solid gameplay, great touch controls and graphics. What a pity it only comes with four short game modes and no multiplayer at all.

APB Reloaded comes with new locations, a better gameplay and a new free-to-play format that lets you play for hours without spending anything, though you have to buy something in order to be more competitive.

Pocket League Story is unfortunately one of the weakest Kairosoft's "Story" games: too simple, limited, easy and repetitive, even the most passionate fans of the genre will put it down pretty quickly.

It's great to see Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath in high definition, since it's a game that deserves to be played. The dual gameplay works fine, as you can switch from third to first person perspective by just pressing the right analog stick. The way you get ammo is different from everything else, but will put you in both pleasant and unpleasant situations.

A worthy add on only for those who play Gears of War 3 and are in desperate need of some new online content. It's really a nice DLC for all the Gears Lovers.

Medieval Moves is definitevely entertaining, but it could soon become boring and tedious because of its on rail gameplay.

The Old Republic is an excellent co-op RPG crafted around one of the deepest franchises ever created which BioWare very well understands and deals with. As an MMO game however it lacks quite some polish and a few features which should be mandatory nowadays. It's up to BioWare now to refine the game and fix the most important issues, especially client-side, to finally stand up as one of the best MMORPG on the market.

Run Roo Run is a very fun game, despite its disarming simplicity. Some challenges are really trivial and their resolution doesn't take away more than a handful of seconds, but nonetheless you'll want to play again and again.

Paul Cuisset's survival horror effort sadly is a complete mess. Gameplay is broken, so many bugs and the save system is unacceptable. Avoid this.

Containment is a new kind of puzzle game, an original way to kill zombies without shooting. With the App Store full of clones, it represents a real wind of freshness.

Dustforce is a nice game, with a lovely design. Both Super Meat Boy fans and newcomers will not be disappointed by the Hitbox Team, which made a really god job. Sweeping has never been so much fun!

Forget-Me-Not isn't just a tribute. The charming twist to the Pac-Man mechanics is simply brilliant and the last update adds some kind of variety to the mix. It's a shame that swipe controls are so slow in the hardest moments of the game.

We have absolutely no problem with the humor in Postal III. What we do have a problem with is the absolute lack of AI, very poor combat, repetitive action and endless loading times delivered by this game.

Home Sheep Home 2 comes as a perfect sequel to the first episode, since it's packed with a good number of levels and some very funny puzzles. Sometimes the touch controls don't work as you could expect, but overall this is a great addition to the action puzzle genre on the App Store.

If you already tried the freeware version of Super Crate Box, then you know how fast, immediate and fun this game is. You can really play for hours and never get bored, trying to unlock all the weapons and all the game modes.

Despite no one is really original, the puzzles in Stretched are various and many. Shame for its graphics and soundtrack, a cheap and uninspired copy of the ones seen in World of Goo.

Lumi could be a masterpiece, one of the best platform for iOS devices, thanks to the great level design and the immediate gameplay; however, it's too short and it can be finished in about 2 hours.

Like its WiiWare version, LostWinds represents a rare example of balance between digital poetry and gaming values, mood and fun. Unfortunately, this iOS edition shows some flaws in terms of controls but it's still a solid platform-adventure and an enjoyable little fable.

Afterfall: Insanity is plagued by bugs and many gameplay's flaws.

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.

Wind-up Knight is an awesome action game, with an outstanding gameplay which is progressively enriched with new elements. A must buy.

Mighty Switch Force is an excellent download: it is intelligent and addictive, and it features some of the most engaging puzzles ever seen. Unfortunately, it is a little too brief for our tastes, but with its small price it'd be a shame not to play it nonetheless.

X3: Albion Prelude is a big expansion in terms of story and overall richness. Despite a lack of radical changes the way trough the changes of the universe, that goes toward X: Rebirth, worth the trip.

Blueprint 3D is a great puzzle game, with over 270 perspective puzzles and a perfect multi-touch control system. It's a must buy, simply.

New visuals and an average 3D effect are the only differences between this game and other, cheaper versions: anyway, if you own a 3DS, never played Cave Story and fancy a hard challenge, this game is for you.

Flatout 3 is a total failure. There no career mode and the races are chaotic and unplayable. Don't play it.

Sonic CD is as a must buy for all the Sonic the Hedgehog fans out there, as well as for anyone looking for a solid platform game, capable of combining speed and taste for exploration.

Despite renewed graphics and controls, Dungeon Hunter III fails to implement a new microtransaction-based formula and turn out to be way less enjoyable than previous chapters.

Real Football 2012 unfortunately suffers from the same problems that characterized last year's edition: poor AI, no official licenses and unresponsive controls.

Actually Bug Princess is the best danmaku shooter developed by Cave for iOS devices, with great style, intense shoot 'em up action and Universal support between iPhone and iPad. What's next? Ketsui and Ibara, we hope.

Kinectimals on iOS does exactly what you would expect: it's a portable version of the original game which allows you to pet your puppy anytime, and for an audience of kids it's definitely a good deal for a low price.

In many ways, Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet turns out to be a rather nice game. It's got a great number of super heroes, a decent combat system and some very nice graphics and voices. What a pity the enemies respawn constantly and the whole experience becomes boring and repetitive very soon.

Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is a surprisingly well crafted clone of the Professor Layton series which tries to offer something new to the fans of the genre. However, it lacks the depth and freshness of Layton's puzzles and its three-layered structure gets repetitive too fast.

It's winter time and it means cold-based sports game, better enjoyed with move sensors like Kinect, Move or Wiimote! Long time veterans like 49Games could be ready for their bigger and better game, if so many flaws weren't in.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown feels like a missed opportunity: it's merely an Infinity Blade clone, stripped down of many of the elements which made that game such a huge success.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies is no doubt a good port as it comes with some very nice graphics and a solid gameplay. The game suffers from several problems, though: cumbersome controls, lack of maps, online issues. Better wait for the next updates.

Packed with some excellent shooter dynamics, perhaps a little less elegant in the platformer ones, Cave Story is awesomely directed, both in terms of story and gameplay. However, this "plus" edition is disappointing, since it comes with the same lo-res graphics of the WiiWare version and some minor changes.

With such a low production-value, it's hard to think to Super Pokémon Rumble as the first 3DS entry of the popular franchise. It lacks depth and its poor visuals reminds too much of its prequel released on WiiWare in 2009. Being a full-price 3DS cartridge, we cannot reccomend it to even the most hardcore Pokémon fan.

Saving Yello is definitely an Angry Birds clone, but it also puts in some new elements, like power-ups and items you need to collect to get the three stars and unlock new locations.

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.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy could've been so much more, but in the end it's just a generic chapter of the series which lacks challenge and ends pretty quickly.

Yes, it's the same gorgeous game who hit PSN time ago. This version includes new nasty levels on Lab mode. You can't go wrong with Joe Danger.

A good idea poorly executed, that's what WWE All Stars is all about. The game's structure is good, but the gameplay suffers from so many flaws you simply can't ignore.

This is a very particular product: a puzzle with a new approach, an original way to create a game. At first it could be not that addictive, but when you understand the gameplay's mechanic, it will catch your attention for a long time.

Pullblox is Nintendo's eShop Killer Application: a simple, addictive, fresh concept which greatly demonstrates what 3D can do for your gameplay pleasure. Add to this more than 200 state-of-the-art levels and an intuitive editor and you have a game which is virtually perfect, for a ridiculous price.

It's basically Just Dance with ABBA songs, and it's enough for fans of the swedish pop band to appreciate it.

3D Dot Game Heroes was clearly inspired by the old Zelda games. It takes the charm of the old school games, while at the same time updating the style and adding a plethora of new elements to keep gameplay fresh, all without losing the classic feel.

The Oregon Trail: American Settler is fun at first; but the more you go on, the more it gets boring and repetitive.

Return to Karkand it's worth every cent spent on it. Not just 4 maps, but also vehicles, weapons and and a new game mode. Definitevely fresh air for Battlefield 3.

Kirby's Adventure Wii is already way too easy when played alone and challenge becomes virtually non-existant when someone else joins Kirby in his quest. Probably designed as a family game for kids, this new platform fails to deliver anything special or worth of notice other than enjoyable but overall lacking visuals.

Rusty Hearts is a funny game with a great gothic atmosphere. If you like online roleplaying games with a bit of additional hack and slash action, then it's what you may have looked for. It is definitely a good game, not only between the freemium ones.

Act of Fury: Kraine's Revenge is a pleasant alternative to the classic top-down shoot 'em ups, with great 2D graphics and a steep difficulty curve.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a game suitable only for fans of the genre. It's a perfect product for people who love calm and strategic shooter, but it is tedious and frustrating for those who do not love him.
