The first adventure of Master Chief is a must for anyone who hasn't ever played it yet, but it is too expensive and offers nothing really new. The gameplay feels too aged to have another go if you already played it in the past.

Revelations is a sequel that won't disappoint the fans of the saga, yet it lacks in polish. The difficulty level is still too low, AI and combat system don't make every gameplay addition smooth to play. It still feels more like an expansion of the second chapter than an entirely new chapter.

Played on PC, Modern Warfare 3 is as entertaining as it should be, but it lacks in technical evolution, especially on a platform where graphics have been pushed far beyond in the last year. On the other hand, dedicated servers finally do the trick, making it a good choice for every COD fan out there.

Volition succeeded in making its joint even more enjoyable: updated graphics and over-the-top missions make it a lot of fun to play, especially with a friend. It probably lacks in innovation when compared to its predecessor, but it's a chapter of the saga you don't want to miss.

It's a funny and well developed platform, bestowed with an incredible design. It can fit both the novice and the veteran, yet it won't fully satisfy neither, and this is its biggest drawback, to witch you must consider also the vert short length.

On consoles, DICE's work comes without the two things that made it great on PC: scale and over the top graphics. It's still an incredibly solid and compelling online shooter, but it definitely feels too close to Bad Company 2. This year, Battlefield should be a PC only matter.

Gameplay is lame, the story feels boring after a couple of minutes, the characters just don't fit, bugs and lack of polish are everywhere. And it's a shame, because sometimes you can feel that TCC could've been a good title.

Anytime you play, The Binding of Isaac offers different dungeons and enemies and this is great. Graphics and music are good, like everything else, just nothing is excellent.

It lacks optimization, both in controls and bug fixing, sometimes with major crashes and incompatibility with common hardware. Even when working, it doesn't seem like there's any reason to be found for the 6 months delay.

Cars 2 is a title that fits the target to which it refers, bestowed with a good gameplay. A shame for the almost complete lack of online features.

One of the best action RPGs to date. Crazy depth, lots of quest and dragons: Skyrim is everything the RPG fans are looking for.

Just a collection of minigames, some entertaining, but not all of them. Not really a good bargain.

Sonic Generations is simply the best Sonic title on HD consoles.

An immediate and extremely fun game. Those who loved the previous chapter will find it hard not to appreciate this new collection of sport minigames.

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is a shooter very focused on stealth that manages to carve out its market share with interesting gameplay.

Following in its predecessors footsteps, MW3 once again offers a great piece of entertainment. The campaign is short as usual, yet well-crafted, especially for the urban environments. Spec Ops, both Missions and Survivals, are a lot of fun, but the true heart of it all is in the competitive multiplayer. New modes and rebalanced perks and streaks add some teamwork-oriented action, and the overall experience is rich and entertaining as usual. It lacks in innovation, but it's still the best shooter on HD consoles.

Quotation forthcoming.

Disgaea 4 A Promise Unforgotten is a good step forward for the Disgaea saga. Humour is great as always, and turn-based strategy goes as it should.

The Adventures of Tintin is a good tie-in of Spielberg's performance capture 3D film. It has an action/platform-based gameplay and is very simple. Only for young players.

Sengoku is a good, complex and extreme strategy game. True strategists will appreciate its good AI and wide variety of choices. Less hardcore players should just stay away from it.

There's fun to be had with this one, especially for the great characters and enjoyable storyline. Sadly, there's some lack of polish in the annoying in-game camera and the bad lock on enemies, and graphics don't stand out as they did in the past titles.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time shows some good ideas in terms of gameplay and storyline. Sadly, the combat-system is lame, there's a great lack of variety and the graphics are just decent.

Tintin is a tie-in platform that follows the adventures of the French journalist. The formula sits in a dangerous middle: platforming is complex even for the more experienced players, but the enemies don't have a well crafted AI, resulting in a mixed experience, not fully suitable neither for the younger players nor for the hardcore market.

Disney brings its whole universe in a single video game, forgetting to add a nice story and a more complex gameplay to please all the players and not only the youngest ones.

Uncharted is still an incredible cinematic experience, but its own issues remain the same: limited interactivity, often too linear. Despite this, it's still one of the best adventure titles of the year, one you shouldn't miss. Multiplayer is just an add-on, but a very well crafted one.

The true strenght of DICE's new title is its multiplayer component: massive battles, vehicles, destruction and an exceptional overall polish of Frostbite 2 offer an incredible piece of entertainment and raise the bar for online competition. Coop mode is also enjoyable, although it won't last long: good to have an afternoon's worth of fun with a friend, it makes you wonder why the whole campaign hasn't been made available for this kind of cooperation. As for the campaign itself, it's mostly playable, but still the weakest part: too much Call of Duty style, desperately linear and sometimes too slow, it doesn't add anything new to the genre.

Even if sold stand alone on consoles, The Sims 3 Pets is just an expansion pack: it won't revolutionize the gameplay of the third chapter, and some gameplay feature aren't deep as we would've liked. Add bugs and missing optimization on consoles, and what you have is a title suited just for sims maniac.

While not an excellent game, Aliens Infestation provides a unique atmosphere, a continuous tension that embraces the player, making him forget about a couple of flaws here and there.

A really good game but some new features or will divide its fanbase. It's better thant the fifth chapter, but will not top the previous installments of the series.

Artistically interesting and eclectic, this update of Rocketbirds knows how to tell a story, too bad its gameplay lacks a bit in depth.

Not very playable on the iPhone's small surface, feels better on an iPad. The main problem with this game is AI and controls, but don't forget the price, too high.

It's a good chance to spend some 4/5 hours with Jensen and all the cyberpunk atmosphere the fan love, yet the price is way over the top.

If you want to spend some additional hours in the world of Dragon Age, Mark of the Assassin is still one of the best ways to do it.

True to the company's core gameplay concepts, id's new work is funny and playable, yet not a masterpiece due to some lack of polish and courage in design choices.

An interesting concept, allthough it starts to become a lot of fun only when you learn how to compensate for the zeppelin's clunky controls.

A funny and compelling puzzle game, if you love the genre this is for you.

THere are some good ideas in this RTS experiment, especially in the calm before the storm. When the battle start though, you'll feel how unpolished the gameplay really is. A true shame, especially for the bad use of this important license.

Despite the very unusual screenplay, Driver: San Francisco offers a lot of fun. It suprises the player until the last mission, and the "shift" system works very well. With this chapter, Driver won't be anymore perceived as a GTA-clone.

Sometimes feels more like a DLC than a complete new experience. Just for hardcore fans of the saga.

Football Manager 2012 is a nearly perfect football management game, the new features really improve every trait of the series.

It's a basic update of last year's experience. One year in the works should've been capitalized upon better than this though.

Rocksteady managed to clear up the few things that didn't work in Asylum and widen its scope. The result is another real Batman experience, offering an in-depth look on the charachter that even Nolan's movies (at least until now) cannot offer, and an unforgettable gaming experience.

A good porting of an already funny experience, despite some framerate issues.

It's too close to the Wii version and its arcade nature to please the fans of the true FIFA, a choice we don't fully appreciate.

FIFA 12 PC will not disappoint and offers a fantastic gaming experience. The gameplay has significant variations, while the multiplayer was overturned in favor of rewarding competitions. From the technical point of view, despite a few flaws, will delight any gamer.

Lonesome Road seems appropriate only for the fans of the brand. Poor plot, repetitive gameplay and some technical issues don't make it a good bargain.

It's simply the best basket sim out there, better and better every year.

There are some good ideas to be found here, but Silicon Knights seem to have lost it along the way. It's repetitive, unpolished, often boring, definitely not worth your money.

It's highly priced, and some of the graphical goodness is gone (especially frame rate), but it's a great porting of a game that still feels fresh.

A game in a bad need of huge patching. Makes you wonder what could be the reason for buying it in the growing MOBA market, especially now that Valve is about to step on stage.

It's a game suited for the brand's lovers, and for JRPGs true aficionados. Some freshness could improve its reach, let's hope in the next chapters.

A funny way to put your Kinect to use, even if it's too short for its price.

Fans of the brand will find it changed in an even more deep arcade fashion, allthough some of the new ideas actually work, and gameplay flows in a spectacular way.

The formula is still the same, so you know the drill. At this fourth chapter, some things are still missing, like dynamic weather or more race modes, yet Forza remains a great choice for the sim fans out there.

id's back with a funny shooter, filled with content and good ole first person shootin' made in Texas. It could've been much better with more polish and fewer half-cooked ideas though, probably a sign that 5 years out of a fast growing market is way too much.

It's still a brutal experience, surely the most difficult game of this generation. The idea of setting it in a wider world even raises the bar, but the freshness of the first one is sadly gone.

It's devloped in a cheap way, carelessely forgetting some important polishing. Some Farmville could actually be more fun than this.

Investigation is sometimes good, but this kind of game sits better in a browser than it does on a home console.

Serious Sam perfectly fits in the run'n'gun genre and the weapons connection system is great, but the game is way too short. Action is generally good, with a nice atmosphere, even though some enemies are not so cool.

FIFA 12 is an updated version of FIFA 11, with several adjustments within the single player content, but it completely lacks any online mode, one of the last edition's highlights.

An enjoyable soccer game, still haunted by its own ghosts. Goalkeepers are broken, and there are big issues with physics simulation and AI. Fans will keep on enjoiyng it, but true soccer is to be found somewhere else.

It shows the charme of classic FPS, with a certain tactical side and a positive management of upgrades. If you don't care about the lack of multiplayer, then the only downside is the short campaign.

An original and funny experience, allthough the name Burnout seems to be there just for the look of it. It's more like a clever puzzle game, and a well crafted one.

IT has the kind of funny, light gameplay you'd expect from this kind of production. Beware of the bugs though, that we hope can be soon fixed.

It's a step forward in obtaining what could be the "perfect soccer simulation" of tomorrow. Not just an upgrade in any way, it a fully new experience thanks to entirely reimagined phisics simulation engine.

A great makeover of the N64 original Everything else is just the same, short campain but good fun to be enjoyed. 3DS controls don't add much to the experience, but at least they are well implemented.

This upscaling fest is suitable just for those that have missed the original and don't have anymore the original consoles. Everyone else won't find any good reason to spend 20 euros.

It's mainly a multiplayer game, bravely defending its hardcore nature with many unconventional gameplay choices. For the best part, it's a great experience, one hardcore shooters fans absolutely have to try. It's a shame though that it has been released still so rough around the edges, in deperate need of performance and debug patches. In a few months it could get better, but as of now it goes just for true fans.

It's a great package for fans of the brand. There are many classic elements paired with some new and improved features (editor, content sharing, driving itself have been overhauled). It's anyway a multiplayer game, solo guys should look soemwhere else.

The Sims Medieval - Pirates and nobles is a standard adventure pack that doesn't add nothing really new to the game but just brings more hours to the linear, but fun, gameplay.

Only $10 for three arcade titles that have written the Mortal Kombat history might seem like a bargain, but the big issues with the online mode and sounds does not justify the purchase. At least until a substantial patch to fix them will not be released.

Codemasters seems to have learned from its mistakes and have delivered a masterpiece for the circuit lovers.

An Epic conclusion to an Epic saga.

The Baconing is a good and fun game, similar to Deathspank: the fan will be pleased to find again all the elements that made it a success.

It'll make you literally scream in rage, and not for good. It isn't just a difficult game, it's a somehow broken one. Controls don't do their job on many occasions, and most of the time it plays dirty with you. Just for masochist players and fans of the saga.

Madden NFL 12 changes, just a little. It's faster, smarter, more realistic and its defensive AI is improved. If you are a football fan, you'll play and enjoy yourself for another year.

The choice to start from scratch was a winning one. The wii version of Tanner's adventures isn't a mere porting, but an entirely new experience. A shame though for the overall unpolished gameplay.

It's most suitable for newbies, as the veterans will miss all the advanced options. The first will anyway find some good fun in this lighter version of the historic RTS.

It's both a light and funny action game and a wasted chance to make something more due to an overall unpolished job. Strongly consider it if you love Ultramarines though, since they get a great depiction.

It's full of RPG cliches, yet it delivers some solid fun, especially in co-op.

It's great when it comes to shooting techniques and weapons, it's bestowed with a desperate and truly well crafted atmosphere, yet it falls short on delivering a great finale to the saga, at least naratively speaking. The good multiplayer side adds even more value to it as an FPS, making it a great choice for every fan of the brand.

Two unforgettable masterpieces remade in a wonderful full HD resolution and convincing 3D. Polygonal poetry you must try.

Truly a masterpiece in terms of graphics and soundtrack, but loses itself when it comes to playing the game, especially the combat system too much limited. The story is quite interesting, it takes a lot of references from different religions, but the plot sometimes shows huge holes and characters without a background story.

NHL 12 is confirmed as a rigorous, high-level simulation. Few but interesting new features make it feel realistic and closer to TV action.

It's completely different from what the teaser trailers suggested, the narrative is missing, the atmosphere is quite basic, characters are just silly. Yet, Dead Island is a funny action/adventure with small RPG influence, delivering fast paced and visceral combat, best served with friends. Consider it if you're looking for a not-so-compelling, light co-op fun.

The best JRPG of this generation. A great new start for everyone looking for many entertaing hours of deep gameplay. Probably the Wii's swan song, don't miss it.

The fifth title Pendulo revives an adventure that did not have the desired success, using as pillars surreal dialogues, an absolutely fantastic storyline, and fun from start to finish. Through a series of colorful characters, though very short, Hollywood Monsters 2 shows his best on a technical level, through perfect cinematics and animations.

A deep and profound strategic title wich fails to deliver, mainly due to a lame user interface, lack of tutorial, questionable AI, bad graphics and boring moments. The multiplayer fails to save it. It's definitely better to look elsewhere into the Paradox portfolio with better, more refined, titles as Hearts of Iron or Europa Universalis.

It's a funny new take on arcade driving, filled with content. Fans of the original will find the gameplay completely transformed, as the map offers a more strategic point of view, but it's still an enetertaining and long lasting arcade experience.
