This new LEGO-adventure by Traveller's Tales is unquestionably the best one in the franchise, especially due to visuals and gameplay mechanics.

Beyond an exuberant use of 3D, which certainly creates a pleasant viewing experience (though the developers tend to overdo sometimes), the Nintendo 3DS version of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars ends up disappointing the expectations. The feeling that this is a title designed exclusively for the younger players is too strong, given the lack of any challenge both for fighting and for puzzles. The game also lacks any kind of multiplayer.

Hack and slash lovers shouldn't really miss this little XBLA gem. It's not perfect, but it's defenitely worth a look.

Forgetting the unplayable new cameras that should have made this PES a new beginning, what this 3DS edition offers is the same, familiar "PS2 version" gameplay that made the series so popular. Shame for the lack of any online multiplayer mode.

It's like watching a DVD that pauses automatically from time to time: we just have to press a mouse-button and it goes on again. That's all the effort it takes to solve the puzzles and finish the game.

The three games of the pack are an incredible journey through Sucker Punch evolution, and a great examples of gameplay and level design that stand the test time, still fun and enjoyable today.

Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy is not just a simple cut and paste of the past iteration, but it's the ultimate edition of the game, the perfect fan service. Maybe there's too much sense of deja-vu, but the quality of the game is past dispute.

Def Jam Rapstar is the only music game that focuses exclusively on Hip Hop with more than 40 of the greatest Hip Hop songs available. For this reason it's not easy to play like other "karaoke" games. You can use your console camera to record your performances and share them with the fully integrated Def Jam Rapstar community at www.defjamrapstar.com.

Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll is a japanese-style role-playing game might best be described as the evolution of the hack and slash genre. Like Dynasty Warriors series, it is not a great game but just a fun and addictive product. Part of the reason it works is because it uses elements that have already been successful, although several years ago.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of the Time has maintained its charm and, even with all the necessary distinctions, seems to benefit from high-definition remastering. Thanks to the graphics it appears more colorful and clean, beautiful to behold, and in general we like the idea of rediscovering a great game.

Prince of Persia: Two Thrones is a successful mix of its two predecessors: the title Ubisoft takes some of the best aspects of gameplay from both, blending them together to create, with the addition of more new elements, a structure of game effectively and efficiently. Even after many years.

It's a shame that this porting of Max & The Magic Marker is the most poor version so far. Despite the developers' efforts, the small screen of the iPhone makes impossible to draw accurate lines and shapes. The iPad version is slightly better, but it still has some problems with the controls.

Even if it's possibly the least impressive showcase for the Nintendo 3DS technology, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is a great turn-based strategy game, and definitely one of the best titles in the whole launch line-up.

On the one hand, Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2 is visually pleasing, with some nice remixes and a gameplay based on exploration rather than combat (just like the original Bionic Commando), nice boss fights and some funny dialogues. On the other hand the game is too linear and simple, the controls aren't accurate and the local co-op multiplayer is mediocre.

Lord of Arcana tries to follow in the footsteps of Monster Hunter, but without success. The plot, which revolves around a magical stone and the "chosen one" who must retrieve it, fails to deliver, while the controls make cumbersome and uninspiring both the exploration and the combat.

After two Harry Potter games, Trivial Pursuit and Create, developers of EA Bright Light confirmed to be anything but brilliant. The entire management of the three dimensions in Spare Parts is terrible and makes the exploration of the stages "slippery" and cumbersome, with hundreds of invisible barriers and obstacles. When it comes to fighting, things get even worse due to some imprecise collisions and a lack of variety. The online multiplayer is also poorly implemented.

DCUO, as first console-MMORPG, can be considered a good start; it's basically a Hack'n'slash, with an interesting history and RPG elements, but some missions are repetitive and there are a lot of graphic bugs. However, the monthly major updates promised by Sony On Line justify the subscription, especially for DC Fans.

MotorStorm: Apocalypse has to deal with some contingency situations (the earthquake in Japan and the consequent delayed release) that inevitably created problems, especially in terms of online content. The single player campaign, however, is long enough thanks to the three different "chapters", thirteen vehicle classes and more than thirty races placed in nine different locations. The on-screen disaster is convincing both in terms of visuals (except for the color palette, too bright) and gameplay, with scenarios that change dynamically between a lap and the other.

With Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12, the EA Sports series returns to the App Store with improved graphics, new modes and the same gameplay that made the previous episode so enjoyable for all the golf enthusiasts out there. What a pity there's no online multiplayer.

Double Dragon delivers a good feeling of impact, nice graphics and music, and also a large number of unlockables. What a pity the touch controls don't work as they should, making the whole experience cumbersome and frustrating.

Nintendogs + Cats is not so different from Nintendogs. It has cats and 3D, but they don't change the gameplay; this means it is still the king of casual games, but, this time, it feels a little less "fresh".

All in all, Rift is the first real alternative to the best theme park MMORPGs on the market, WoW and LotRO. And this is without any doubt, a good thing!

With its beautifully crafted graphics and immediate fun, Get Outta My Galaxy! is a good choice, considering also its cheap price, but its limits in terms of gameplay emerge early for the expert player.

The best 3DS game on the console launch is also a title that doesn't really take any advantages from the 3DS exclusive features. Super Street Fighter IV is a fantastic achievement and a gorgeous adaptation, even if the controls are unable to replicate the original arcade experience.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D is a good handheld conversion of the classic Chaos Theory: unfortunately, the multiplayer, online or not, is nowhere to be seen, and the 3D effect, albeit good, doesn't seem to make up for the loss. It's a rather good single player launch title, but you'd want to concentrate on more complete titles.
