Driver Renegade 3D sports quick, immediate and amusing gameplay, but no content beside a brief Story Mode and a monotonous Career Mode. With no multiplayer to be seen, this is a missed opportunity and a game not to buy, at full price at least.

Hard Reset is a great game, a hardcore FPS that brings to the table some very nice ideas and tests your skills level after level. The gunplay works very well, with a huge sense of impact and a great number of different enemies to fight, and the graphics prove indie games can even compete with high budget titles.

Resistance 3 has an enjoyable single player that lasts the right amount of hours. The plot is good but it starts to lose appeal from the middle of the game. Good words for the multiplayer too with a complete redesign from the second chapter that boosts the fun factor and the gameplay mechanics.

The first three classic Mortal Kombat in one single bargain collection, back to the 90 again with these ultra-violent beat'em up perfectly converted on next-gen consoles and PC.

One of the best games released this year on iOS, Iblast Moki 2 is a perfect mix between phisics-based puzzles and social games, and another application of the Little Big Planet concept: Play, Create and Share.

The Wii version of Driver: San Francisco has nothing in common with the excellent game developed by Ubisoft Reflections on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. This is rather a classic episode of the series, with the same old gameplay, cumbersome controls (and you can't customize them in any way) and mediocre graphics.

With the right price it is possible to buy two masterpieces of the videogame culture playable with a HD resolution and collecting trophies.

While the first episode delivered a great gameplay without worrying about graphics and user interface, DrawRace 2: Racing Evolved comes as a real AAA title, very polished and stylish, with plenty of races and modes (multiplayer included).

A masterpiece which genuinely refreshes the JRPG genre without losing track of its tradition. Visuals are absolutely gorgeous and pushes the hardware to the point it's hard to believe we are playing on Nintendo Wii. Storytelling, art direction and soundtracks are definitely top notch. Fans of the genre and newcomers will definitely love it: must have.

This second episode doesn't improve too much the gameplay of its prequel but it adds new contents and new humor to the series. The only big problem for us is the lack of an italian translation.

Zen Wars is an unusual strategy game with a distinct sense of humour. However, polished graphics and epic soundtrack come with flawed gameplay mechanics and a too short Campaign.

Fun, short and crazy hard but not frustrating. VVVVVV is just a nice, very well design piece of indie game.

Great for series newcomers, just an additional data pack for people that already played Tropico 3. But you'll definitely enjoy being El Presidente.

Zombie Gunship is an original and engrossing shooter that balances its lack of variety and content with a well-designed upgrade system which ultimately encourages you to play it over and over again.

Well-designed puzzles mixed with a never seen combat difficulty: if all you want to do is play more DeathSpank action, then this will certainly do the job.

Nothing is more addicting than Jetpack Joyride: an easy concept to understand but a long lasting gameplay to master. And with its price, it would be a crime to not buy it.

Age of Empires Online could has been a great free to play game. Unfortunately a bad implementation of the freemium model ruins all the instances.

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is a very mediocre game. Everything from graphics to gameplay is poorly implemented.

Mega Mall Story shares some issues with the previous made-in-Kairosoft games, like touch controls far from perfect and its lack of replayability. Anyway there is no doubt that this one is the best and deepest sim the Japanese studio has developed until now.

Dead Island is an interesting hybrid with elements of FPS and RPG with a survival horror mood that draws inspiration from many other games, but it succeeds in creating something new. With its gigantic island freely explorable, tons of quests and permanent sense of fear it's more an open world RPG than an action game and it certainly has some flaws. But it's quite unique and a very good cooperative experience for 4 players.

Reckless Gateway is another gem on the Apple Store: fun but not easy, it's an arcade racing game based on physics, and it's really well done.

Let's Golf! 3 could ask you from 79 cents to 39.99 euros in order to play without limitations, but the game also rewards your skill by giving you some virtual money every time you win a match. The bottom line is you can actually play for hours without paying anything, that's great. In terms of gameplay, this new episode is very similar to Let's Golf! 2, it comes with a lot of modes and also gives you the opportunity to play online matches for up to four players.

With its focus on mindless destruction, Bodycount starts as a refreshing return to the roots of the original FPS, but the short campaign, the lack of many game modes and a certain monotony during the levels keep the Codemasters' title from being a good game overall.

Driver: San Francisco is a brand new start for the franchise. The Shift mechanic works well, creating compelling, strange and challenging missions. It's definitively a great game, but some flaws keep the Reflections title away from being a masterpiece.

A great indie plenty of depth, choices and fun: one of the best mix of genres in a long time.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a great game with a bad AI.

SPY mouse is a riskless project for Firemint, less ambitious than Real Racing 2 but more suitable for casual users. It's still a very enjoyable and polished game, but ordinary boss battles and the lack of support for Game Center leaderboards and achievements are small flaws that could have been avoided.

Groove Coaster is another little masterpiece by Reisuke Ishida; a great rhythm game that fits perfectly on the Apple devices and that any lover of the genre should check out.

Another hybrid gameplay form Foursaken, in some way similar to the first chapter but also different enough to represent something new, Bug Heroes Quest is a good action-RPG based on a twin stick style. Despite some flaws in controls and visuals, an optimal choice at this price.

In this iPhone version, Shift 2: Unleashed can't take advantage of the wide iPad screen to maximize its excellent first person driving experience, but the overall results are still excellent in terms of quality: the tilt controls work great, they're completely customizable and there are plenty of races and modes to play with. However, the lack of an online multiplayer is really disappointing.

Cordy is a great platformer, which recalls the style and the gameplay of LittleBigPlanet. The game features some very nice graphics, very accurate touch controls and 26 levels, asking you to complete them in several ways to get all the stars. If you like the genre, this is a must buy.

On Kinect, Fruit Ninja is a nice experience that show its repetitiveness really too quickly, and at the 800 MP price point results hard to recommend.

Gesundheit! is a small gem, a truly unique and fascinating game that should be bought even just for its fairy tale atmosphere.

Agricultural simulator 2011: Extended Edition It's boring, buggy and will be hard to digest for anyone who is not a subscriber of Farmers Weekly.

Enjoyable during the first hours of playing, Pirates of Black Cove shows very early its casual gameplay, badly developed.

Roboto could have been a much better platform without some controversial design choices and, mostly, with more polished and accurate controls. In fact, excellent graphics and nice bosses became unimportant when small buttons and a questionable health system make the game so frustrating.

You can just love or hate Catherine: it divides the players between who can appreciate every detail of the game and who become immediately bored for its gameplay. Other than this the game is a little jewel in terms of plot, dialogues and puzzles.

I'm sure there are people who will find E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy a very enjoyable title, maybe because of its complexity, its being "old school" in an always more console oriented PC market. The fact is this game suffers from so many shortcomings that it's really hard to recommend to anyone.

Despite the simple idea, To-Fu: The Trials of Chi is an amusing and enjoyable platformer, with well-made controls and a cut and funny protagonist. Collecting medals adds more value and depth to the 100+ levels, but only the most tolerant and tenacious players will find the strength to complete them all.

Xtreme Wheels deals with the "acrobatic" action genre even in a mature and serious fashion, thanks to a physics-based gameplay rather than on the execution of air tricks. Too bad the controls are not that accurate.

Silent Ops is a short, inconsistent and derivative stealth/action game that doesn't match the quality of some other similar Gameloft productions, and it's really hard to recommend even to the lovers of the genre.

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.

Let's Golf! 3D is a very enjoyable arcade golf game, with plenty of single player modes and five beautiful locations. The 3DS version has no online multiplayer, the 3D effect is poorly implemented and the frame rate is pretty inconsistent, nonetheless Gameloft's last effort is a good buy for the money.

Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters is an unpolished but solid and very difficult action JRPG. Only for hardcore gamers.

The new look of the popular Techland francise it isn't enough to reach the shooters standard quality. Just the cooperative represents a good feature to enjoy the story.

Excellent simulation and storic research, Cold War suffers some AI problem, poor engine and inconsistent music and sound effects.

Summer Arcade 2011 goes on and this time a crazy action platform 2D will blow your mind with its vintage and crazy style.

Free updates have already been announced, but as it is Bean's Quest is a funny and cute platformer which is ultimately turned down by a tremendous lack of content.

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty is basically a "running game" in which you can perform a good number of actions, explore levels in different ways and take out your opponents by using rapid attacks or spectacular combos. The problem is the controls don't work as they should, making the experience frustrating.

Dungeons of Dredmor is a good roguelike game that deserve a try, despite some interface flaws. It's easy to play, but hard to master.

Air Conflicts: Secret Wars has many technical flaws and start too slow to be fun. Some missions are good, many too many are flat and boring.

Blobster manages to carve out its own space in the platform genre on the App Store, thanks to an enjoyable gameplay and a good number of well-designed levels.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a nice twin analog shooter, packed with good graphics, four different units to choose and a lot of weapons and upgrades. What a pity the game has no online multiplayer and only five levels.

Continuity 2: The Continuation is a game that puzzle-lovers should absolutely have on their iDevices. The game offers the same idea behind the first chapter, but enriched with new charming gameplay mechanics. Sadly the music is not so catching and the very minimal graphics may not appeal everyone, but if you haven't played the first Continuity, you should buy this one without hesitation.

From Dust is something we've never seen in the last years: a wonderful god game with good challenges for the player. At the same time there are several limits with the camera and a gameplay where you can't do too much things.

Cthulhu Saves the World is a fun and well-designed tribute to the JRPGs genre, full of contents that entertain for hours and cost as little as 2 euros.

Block Breaker 3 Unlimited comes with a hundred levels, several modes, a classic gameplay and some nice, colorful graphics. The touch controls are not accurate as they should be, but the tilt ones work pretty good. A very fun and addicting arcade game, definitely.

Pocket Academy is probably Kairosoft's deepest and most polished sim actually in the App Store, with a lot of things to do and a huge attention to students' characterization. However, it's also another example of disengagement from a developer that continues to reuse the same engine over and over, without taking real advantage of the technology behind iPhone and iPod Touch.

Deathsmiles is another masterpiece created by Cave: funny and full of action, with RPG elements in iPhone Mode, it could be considered as one of the definitive shot'em ups, of course alongside Espgaluda 2 and Dodonpachi Resurrection.

A new arcade game made for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. The humour is the most important thing about the game and will let you play with a smile on your lips. Three anti-hero to block a horde of undeads, is it enough to overcome the all to samey levels?

9mm is a good third person action with a solid gameplay and an interesting multiplayer. But there are several problems in the design starting from the controls, to the plot and the technical aspects of the game.

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.

Ms. Splosion Man is a fantastic sequel of the original game, with some great improvements particulary on the level design. Keep in mind that this is a hardcore, frustrating and hard game; but the reward is well worth the price.

A good atmosphere and the right pace help Alpha Polaris to be a good horror tale. Problem is that, for 20 euros, the game is a bit too short, technically has some problems and not the whole adventure perform at the same quality level.

Casey's Contraptions is a great puzzle game: it's user-friendly on the surface but it's also a big challenge for anyone who aims for the perfect score. It's a bit short on levels, but future updates and user-created stages will do the trick.

Captain America: Super Soldier comes as a small, pleasant surprise. Not a masterpiece, mind you, but a clear sign that SEGA wants to improve the quality of its superhero tie-in games on the Nintendo console. The graphics are mediocre, with some PSone-like models and low polycount, but the overall experience is fun and enjoyable.

If you are a big lover of classic RPGs and if you can't play the game on a PC or Mac, then Avadon could be your ultimate game for iPad. For all the other players it's just a complex game with a bad interface and a gameplay really far from the usual aspects of gaming on iPad.

Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing on iOS is a perfect porting of the game appeared on bigger consoles like Xbox 360 and PS3. All the contents are there and the controls are perfectly fitted for the iPhone/iPad, making this the best choice for a simil-Mario Kart on iOS.

A good idea in terms of graphics and concept doesn't always determine a good game, and Lucha Fury stands as an example of this. Charming and interesting to see, this game is simply and sadly not entertaining to play.

Despite the laggy online, Street Fighter IV Volt: Battle Protocol is a good addition to the original formula that newcomers will enjoy.

Hollywood Monsters 2 is a good game: its sense of humor and great graphic design make it something that every graphic adventure fan wouldn't miss. Some puzzles may be frustrating, but it's definitely worth a try.

The Harry Potter videogames saga comes to an end with a fun third person shooter in which you'll use your magic wand in a lot of different ways. The game is sincerely enjoyable, but it's also way too short and simple.

Nice isometric customizable action RPG, with some great ideas. Gameplay is frenzied and addictive, and visuals are very cool.

Black Mirror III is the third and last installment of the Gordon's saga. The title is a decent point & click adventure and brings some new features like main character "possession" and dual character gameplay. Sadly the implementation of these elements is not so good and fails raising the overall quality of the title.

Two Worlds II: Castle Defense is a well done strategic game, with Tower Defense elements and a good characters design. A nice choice for fans of the genre.

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes is an addictive yet challenging role playing game with puzzle twists and a really impressive depth. Fans of the strategy games and fantasy genre will be absolutely pleased by this new HD version.

A worthy add on only for those who played Bulletstorm and are in desperate need of some new content, both online and offline. It's really a niche DLC and a bit expensive.

Virtua Tennis 4 comes as a spectacular mix of strengths and weaknesses, a title that Dreamcast nostalgics will surely enjoy. The fact is it doesn't have what it takes to compete with Top Spin 4, which has brought the genre to new levels, especially in terms of realism and depth. A good fourth episode, definitely, but the series desperately needs some major improvements.

Transformers 3 gives the player a nice sense of freedom, since you can transform anytime you want. The single player campaing is short but challenging, you can upgrade your weapons and abilities and the graphics are well done. What a pity the action is very repetitive.

Transformers 3 feels rushed, it's pretty obvious High Moon Studios did not have time or strength to work on the game like they previously did with the excellent War for Cybertron. This is still a good game for fans of the franchise but the lack of multiplayer options and the somewhat disappointing visuals hurt it more than it deserves.

With an astonishing pixel art style, great integration with Push notifications and an addictive gameplay, Tiny Tower is actually one of the best social games for iPhone and iPad. The game is full of humour, but probably some players will hate the act of repeating and repeating the same tasks again and again.

It's hard to define Solatorobo: Red the Hunter as some sort of "big surprise", since we already knew the qualities of CyberConnect2's last effort. The partnership with a range of well-known japanese artists led to something great for the Nintendo DS from a graphics standpoint, and the overall experience is engaging and fun.

For its price, Feed Me Oil is a great package: it boosts solid puzzles, nice graphics and a good amount of content. It doesn't break any new ground and it has some flaws, but fans of the genre should definitely pick this up.

The idea of enriching the structure of a typical top down shooter with some adventure elements is fascinating, but unfortunately it doesn't work well. In D.A.R.K. you often have to explore an area to reach a certain number of switches, then fight a wave of zombies and evil creatures, but the overall action is quite repetitive and poorly balanced.

At its core, The Mercenaries 3D is an intense and frantic action shooter, dedicated to those who love the "old school" of gaming and its score system. But there isn't almost anything that one can't find in the Mercenaries mode of RE4 and 5, so why should one buy one mode for the price of an entire game?

Pride of Nations is a deep turn-based strategy game where the player can determine every aspect of a nation. Is a good game, but not for everyone.

A frenetic, simple and very arcadey simulation of american football. Price could be more affordable, and the package is pretty limited.

The twelve minigames are, on average, really good; if you need a Wiimote Plus and you can play this game in multiplayer, buy it. Otherwise, just leave it on the shelves.

Ugly as sin, but funny, especially when played with other humans. Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon is and old school shooter in third person, with a ton of weapons and a well devised upgrade system.

A fresh old school puzzle platform, fun and lenghty, with a lot of nice ideas and variety. Trial and error formula lead to some frustration.

A good DLC full of action and thrilling story for BioWare masterpiece Dragon Age 2.

Demolition Dash is really a nice game: fun, beautiful and full of things to do. Its great looks are really well matched with its brilliant gameplay.

A brilliant rehash of a truly classic, stunning visuals, inspired gameplay, and grat fun. Shooter fans can't miss this.

As good as the previous DLCs. Expensive as usual, but 4 good maps and the zombie level are worth the price.

After the fairly good on-rail shooter released last year, the Transformers come back on Wii and this time around they can't actually transform. However, that's not the major problem. Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon - Stealth Force Edition is in fact a poorly executed action game with cumbersome controls, repetitive action and a very short single player campaign.

1-bit Ninja is a truly nice platform, graphically gorgeous and hard as few others are. The going-forward constriction is certainly the most controversial aspect of the game, but core gamers will probably love it. Unfortunately it lacks of online leaderboards or achievements support, so players will never have a great reward in doing better and better.

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.

An action RPG based on a classic brand. But this production for digital delivery is not worth it, because of the too many bugs and graphics issues that hamper the experience.
