Deiland: Pocket Planet Edition is a charming experience, at least at the beginning. It is relaxing and immersive for a while, until you hit some structural flaws in its gathering and progression system, but overall it remains an enjoyable game.

Double Dragon Revive was a real surprise — one of those games we didn’t expect much from, only to realize we had unfairly underestimated it. Yuke’s work is a smart evolution not only of the series it belongs to, but of the entire beat ’em up genre as well. It’s a genuinely satisfying title in its core elements, falling short only due to the lack of extra modes. Apart from that, it’s truly an excellent Double Dragon — one to be experienced, one punch at a time.

You can't really blame Gameloft for being unoriginal, but it's hard to accept so many technical downsides and gameplay issues from a game which should be top of his class.

Despite quite a potential, Venetica takes elements from other different games mortifying all of them with a result that doesn't come even close to the quality level that an ambitious production needs to reach.

The PC version of the Crytek’s game is coherent with its roots and that’s at the same time a good and a bad thing.

What Happened could have been a fine psychological thriller but ultimately lost itself in its own messy loop.

As a fighting game, J-Stars Victory VR+ is quite limited, but with more than fifty characters taken from the most important manga and anime series, will definitely make Shonen Jump fans happy.

Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop has little to do with the original game for Xbox 360, since the gameplay and philosophy behind it are completely different. It also suffers from a series of problems that make it frustrating at times. This game seems to be a spin-off rather than a real conversion, but it's still a challenging action-packed title.

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

Star Wars Unleashed 2 is a good game which manages to improve over its predecessor's shortcomings. It's still too short and samey as a whole. Fans will enjoy it for sure.

Following the Nintendo Wii version, the Nintendo 3DS eShop publishes the funny minigolf game with Miis as lead characters.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a good tie-in, with lots of missions and a nice online multiplayer. The gameplay is repetitive, however, and the stages could have been larger. A nice title for all the Transformers fans out there, definitely.

The PC version of WWE 2K17 comes out of time for several reasons, with a standard price, no DLCs included and the same issues we found on console: cumbersome controls, no story mode and a mixed bag in terms of graphics.

Blackgate does a pretty good job in capturing the feel of the franchise, bringing some very nice elements to the table but suffering from an unconvincing approach to backtracking.

Wings shall live in memories of the fans, not die in their hand. Wings! Remastered Edition is a bland remake which fails even from a nostalgic point of view.

The Perils of Man could have been a fairly entertaining adventure, but the good premises soon leave place to a dull and sketchy series of puzzles and locations.

Kejora visually draws inspiration from the works of Studio Ghibli and offers a primarily narrative-driven adventure, with few puzzles to solve and some light stealth sections. While the game is aimed at less demanding players, the overall experience feels bland and far too limited in every aspect. Recommended only if you are a fan of Studio Ghibli’s works and are looking for something light and undemanding.

Although similar in content and technical level compared to the previous chapter, F1 2014 is a very different title in terms of gameplay, thanks to the new cars with turbo-electric engine. Solid and rich, it is a good product in waiting of the first Next-Gen Formula One.

Elite Forces is an old school action game with little ambitions, but direct and fun. It has some problems, though: controls are a bit inaccurate, there isn't multiplayer (offline or online) and, above all, it has poor AI.

Aside from the creature editor -which is indeed a nice touch- Spore Hero is a pretty forgettable action game: it's kind of slow paced, the minigames aren't always very good and the combat system is really poor. It's a game for kids, and that's about it.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a product faithful to the manga and anime of reference, but also very lacking in terms of play.

Scathe is not a total disaster, but it simply has too many flaws to pass enough and become really interesting.

It's hard to classify Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends. Is it an arcade racer? Definitely not, since most of the challenges are really hard to complete. Is it a simulation? Not even: too few tuning options and no introduction to the events. The game is packed with plenty of cars and tracks, but fails to truly deliver.

No longer a sidekick Clank tries to be the hero of a game, unfortunately he fails in this psp port for the Playstation 2. A well devised gameplay is plagued by camera issues, poor detailed visuals and a limping frame rate.

The remake process didn't work has expected. Outcast Second Contact is still an ok game, but nothing more.

Quotation forthcoming.

Praey for the Gods is a passionate homage to Shadow of the Colossus made by a team of just three persons. The experience is necessarily derivative but the boss fights certainly have their reasons: they are challenging and exciting although sometimes frustrating.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is riddled with contradictions and enveloped in a complex paradox: how can the best Call of Duty in recent years also be one of the worst ever? The answer must be found within the pages of a product that meticulously recycles the vast majority of its contents, while offering the worst campaign in the title's history. However, it perhaps nails the only aspect that a first-person shooter should truly hit: the multiplayer gameplay.
