Smurfs Kart does too little to make you fall in love with it and, despite some details that Smurfs' fans will surely notice, it doesn't manage to offer enough to make you feel entertained for long.

Microsoft seems to have been in a hurry while making this edition, presenting a product that probably deserved more than the 15 months of development declared by Lionhead. The game is partially saved thanks to its contents, based on a game that is simply timeless.

A game that shows a clear artistic design and a continuity with the first two games of the series, mostly with respect to the puzzles rather than the narrative aspect. Still, there are many flaws: the gameplay is rather clunky, the control system is far from precise, and the game design shows several bad choices. If you loved the series, you may think to buy Syberia 3. Be aware, though: the game is not well-polished.

Pro Cycling Manager 2019 is very similar to the 2018 version, in good and bad respects. The new elements make everything sometimes too messy.

LEGO Brawls is, regrettably, a missed opportunity and its excessive simplicity makes this game recommendable only to young and inexperienced players.

Watch Dogs 2: No Compromise ends a season pass that did not shine. For No Compromise, a purchase is only recommended to those who are willing to spend ten euros for another daily mission with Marcus & Co. For those looking for something new to come back and play for the title Ubisoft purchase is not recommended.

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.

Degrees of Separation is difficult to judge. It features a traditional side-scrolling progression with hand-drawn graphic, but it’s somehow limited by its own design. This brings to a lot of puzzles that are actually frustrating instead of brain-ticklers. But this game also features an incredible fairy-tale atmosphere together with a great soundtrack. And are these features that save it from the abyss. But only from it.

It would have delivered a far more solid experience, but the same old gameplay and bugs didn't make it get to the point.

Battle Fantasia is indeed an original product, different from other titles of the same genre. A gameplay too easy and boring completely spoils the fun, placing this title way below Arc System Works standards.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is a decent kids game, with a simple but nice graphics that reminds the movie and a pleasant and simple platform-style gameplay.

Cat Quest is strongly hindered by its original mobile game nature, but even with the excessive simplification of mechanics and short longevity it can bring a smile to gamers, providing to be accessible even for inexperienced players.

On paper this should be a fusion between Danganrompa and Valkyria Chronicles, in reality it's an unbalanced game, full of forgettable conversations and fighting. There's much better both on VITA and PS3 when it comes to strategic rpgs.

With a higher budget Mars: War Logs might have become a completely different action-RPG, but even so, despite the many limitations and considering the budget price, the final result is more than satisfactory.

Naughty Bear is an amazing character in an average game. Some technical flaw and some dull mechanic ruins the appeal of the game.

David Attenborough’s Atomic Ghost Fleet is a unique experience with some flaws. The quality of the underwater experience does not match our expectation. Overall, we recommend this mainly to the true WW2 enthusiasts.

Terminator Salvation - The Videogame can actually be fun at times, but the repetitive gameplay, some technical issues and the lack of a multiplayer mode make this game the usual tie-in, good only for the fan of the brand.

Like its predecessor, Cars 3 is a decent tie-in that shouldn't have any trouble entertaining a younger audience, although it's a little hard to suggest the purchase to more expert gamers.

Hidden Agenda is a funny - but very short - cinematic adventure game with a lot of QTE and social features, available only for PlayLink users.

A good technical sector and a great artistic direction is not supported by an adequate length and gameplay balancing. Lume fails to grab the player's attention.

The concept of a transmedia project, with Unknown 9: Awakening serving as an ideal entry point for new users, was intriguing. However, the video game ultimately falls short due to numerous issues. While the story provides a foundation for understanding the broader world of Unknown 9, its lack of creative flair and uninteresting characters do little to entice players to explore the rest of the narrative universe. Additionally, the gameplay structure is overly basic, plagued by various technical problems, and features a stealth component that feels all too familiar. The combat system also shows multiple flaws, saved only slightly by the enjoyable use of powers, especially in the later stages—though these powers end up breaking the game, making it too easy. Overall, the launch of this new multimedia project is off to a less than stellar start.

THere are surely plenty of dancing title on Wii, so Abba You Can Dance is dedicated just to the fans of the swedish band, and they'd better have at least three friends to play with.

Hokko Life is a cosy, creativity filled community sim game.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is a decent kids game, with a simple but nice graphics that reminds the movie and a pleasant and simple platform-style gameplay.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is far from a perfect game, with some noticeable issues in pacing and in how it handles several key choices. While the technical side isn’t particularly impressive and the experience is marred by a number of non-negligible flaws, it still manages to stand out thanks to its strong sense of identity and internal consistency, offering a solid experience—especially for fans of the Providence author. It may not be the best game inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, but it leaves behind a lingering sense of unease, which is perhaps the most authentic achievement a work inspired by the Master can hope to attain.

A sufficient Move game, especially if you have children.

Activision's new title has its strength in the charisma of the characters, very well chosen and ready to entertain us. A shame for the lack of depth in the racing model.

Voltron is a too short experience, but fans of the anime will enjoy it nonetheless.

Transformers 3 feels like a ripped version of War for Cybertron.

Some good ideas ruined by a bad pay to win model.

The Settlers History Collection is a pure historical tribute, faithful to the past.

An acceptable remastered of a title that needed something more to be appealing to nowadays players.

Alice in Wonderland is a game that, as its young protagonist, loses itself on the road. Beyond good graphics you can find a game with nice ideas but none of witch developed enough concentrating to much on being a boring button smashing game. In the end a game enjoyable for the movie fans only.

It's just an uninspired collection of minigames, not enough to justify the price and to meet the expectations. Suited just for kids, better with a bargain price.

Transformers 3 feels like a ripped version of War for Cybertron.

The game feels more like a nostalgic tribute to the original that came out on PSOne and does barely anything to make its formula feel fresher and more enjoyable.

Despite many issues, technical and gameplay wise, Afterfall: Insanity offers a good atmosphere and some nice ideas.

NERF N-Strike delivers fun suited especially for children. On rail shooters usually come with an exhilarating kind of violence which doesn't allow teen rating, and a title offering the same experience blood-free is surely welcome. Graphics aren't state of the art, and enemies models are repetitive, but young players will have fun for a while with the included custom NERF gun. Older player already have much to choose from in this genre, so buy it for your kids.

The Koei's well-known saga is now a mmorpg for Aeria Games. Dynasty Warriors Online has the same imperfections of the main title, and the same appeal: the fans will enjoy this free mmorpg, everyone else is not invited to the party

Sacred 3 is a hack 'n' slash bland, repetitive that is saved only by a good multiplayer handled with dignity. Sorry guys, Sacred is no more.

Lococycle mixes some hilarious actors with a plain and simple gameplay, with old gen graphics. Buy it just for the laughs.

Switch Galaxy Ultra is the PS4 version of one of the dozen of endless runner that you've stumbled upon in the last three years on your smartphone or tablet. Nothing more, nothing less.

An average porting, that doesn't live up to the expectations.

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

Zoo Tycoon is a half-successful experiment, as almost every product of this kind. Frontier had a powerful tool in their hands - the new Kinect - which it could've used in a more intelligent way to make the experience of a management game for consoles less painful than usual.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 it's not an hunting game, more likely an FPS. The story has major plot holes and the AI presents some major issues. Fortunately the galleries and the alternative game modes save it from a total failure.

Malicious is an interesting title that offers a different gameplay compared to the classic action game. Some technical problems limiting its potential.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 it's not an hunting game, more likely an FPS. The story has major plot holes and the AI presents some major issues. Fortunately the galleries and the alternative game modes save it from a total failure.

Unbelievably Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes Of Time is a total DS porting: it features the same graphics and the same gameplay, in which you have to use the WiiMote just like you use the pen on the DS version, without any change in the gameplay that could make this game more enjoyable on Nintendo Wii...Anyway, the game has a good concept and sometimes it’s funny too.

Tour de France 2018 looks a lot similar to its predecessor. The new game mode is not very fun, and the graphics is average. The gameplay delivers some good moments, and some audio effect are good.

Gylt offers a simple mix of stealth, exploration and puzzles. Despite the atmosfere has a bit of a Silent Hill vibe, it fails to do anything relevant to be memorable.

The world of Illusoria is full of craziness, creepy monsters and a lot of nice things that just want to rip your head off. The gameplay is pretty simple but the controls are stiff and the level design is way too repetitive.

Blue Reflection is certainly not a title for every gamer: the fans of this genre might find something worth their time, while the hardcore gamers should probably look somewhere else.

Friday the 13th: The Game has a lot of potential, but it's an incomplete game with only one mode and without the single player campaign. Right now it's afflicted by many bugs and glitches and it needs a lot of support and polishing.

A must have for all the series lovers. Unfortunately CSI: Unsolved is very short, especially for experienced gamers.

Crymachina is not the triumphant return that many were hoping for from FuRyu Corporation. The game has a story that, while potentially interesting, feels like it squanders its potential, partly due to an excessively stereotypical cast of characters that could easily fit into a teen drama. Even from a gameplay perspective, things don't improve significantly. The game is certainly playable and functional, offering some initial fun, but its lack of depth makes it repetitive after just a few hours. When you add in some inexplicable choices regarding certain game mechanics, it becomes clear that Crymachina can only be recommended to die-hard fans of the genre, as it truly lacks anything that would make it preferable to other titles.

Battle Fantasia is indeed an original product, different from other titles of the same genre. A gameplay too easy and boring completely spoils the fun, placing this title way below Arc System Works standards.

Tomb Raider Underworld is way a too easy ride on NDS, and a scrappy narration won't please Lara's fans; gameplay gets boring soon enough, and main characters portrayal isn't deep enough. Just for Tomb Raider's die-hard fans.

Dusty Raging Fist shows clearly its pros and cons. The game has a pretty decent character design and some good beat’em up sequences, but the narrative and the gameplay fall short. Plus, there are some irritating frame drop from time to time.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a squad-based shooter, like Left 4 Dead or Vermentide, but its gameplay lacks innovations and the AI is not cooperative. The situation is saved thanks to the atmosphere and the graphical component.

Wacky Spores: The Chase is, without a doubt, an interesting and original videogame. Behind the forced grinding there are some fun gameplay mechanics to be found.

The plot is quite interesting, and the graphic is lovely, but the gameplay is way too slow. Still, if you are looking for a simple and short experience, Whispering Willows can be a decent suggestion.

With Tiny Brains we face the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: a title featuring some major structural deficiencies, but at the same time a lot of fun if played in the company of one or more friends.

Earthlock: Festival of Magic is a cute JRPG inspired by a bunch of very old-school mechanics, but that fails in delivering a satisfying experience.

Help Will Come Tomorrow is a good survival game, that could have been more than this with a better focus on the 1917's Revolution.

Soul Axiom Rebooted has some really good ideas, but they're poorly executed.

There are some really good things in New Gundam Breaker, but others are terribly wrong. We would recommend playing one of the other far superior Gundam games.

Terminator Salvation - The Videogame can actually be fun at times, but the repetitive gameplay, some technical issues and the lack of a multiplayer mode make this game the usual tie-in, good only for the fan of the brand.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows it's basically Jump Force with Saitama and his friends and enemies.

Ask yourself a question: "Am I ready to blow my mind in order to achieve sixteen micro-endings?" If you answer is "Yes", and you feel an everlasting love for puzzles, then you can consider the idea of buying Please Don't Touch Anything. Otherwise, you should consider other alternatives.

Bug and glitches completely spoil what could've been a decent shooter.

Raving Rabbids Travel in Time lacks in innovation and variety and it's mainly supported by Rabbid's charisma.

Untamed Tactics shows some good ideas, but it lacks depth and is never able to fully deliver on its premise.

A classic survival horror with clear pros and cons. The game delivers good levels of tension, different types of enemies, good visuals and sounds. Still, some gameplay choices do not feel so right, while the PC version shows some technical flaws. All in all, a pretty decent product first survival game.

It's a game dedicated to fans of the anime and no one else. A shame for the repetitive missions, a flaw that even the fans will suffer.

Devil May Cry HD Collection is a lazy work by the developers: compared to the previous HD remastered it doesn't add anything and it exemplifies the old age of the saga.

Angry Birds Go! has an immediate gameplay and it can be fun, but it has a problem with its freemium model. You can play the game without paying a dollar, but it will feel someway limited and repetitive.

Real World Racing is a nice but not exceptional top-down racing game with circuits made from satellite's maps; it's quite fun but fails to deliver it on the long run ending up boring quite soon.

Star Wars' universe is always fascinating, but Vader Immortal's gameplay feels lackluster and like a missed opportunity.

Jumanji: Wild Adventures is the classic tie-in crafted without much effort, but doing the bare minimum to realise an adventure capable of eliciting just a smile from franchise fans and those who will play it together. And that's a real shame, as the IP would be a perfect fit for a more ambitious video game.

The first hardcore game for Kinect: A good concept ruined by a bad peripheral.

If it wasn't for the king of pop himself, The Experience wouldn't be too big a deal. It lacks depth and some innovation, yet the fans will love it for what it is, a collection of great successes to play in a classic rythm game style.

Power & Revolution, also known as Geo-Political Simulator 4, is a unique game that allows the player to be the head of state of one of more than 150 countries. Unfortunately, like the previous versions, it has an awkward interface and has many bugs.

FIFA 13 Wii U is a porting of FIFA 12 with some new functionality for the gamepad. But has also a lot of deficiencies, particularly on multiplayer. No Ultimate Team, no Football Club and no skill games. If you have a PS3 or a 360, you have to spend your money for them.

Silent Hill HD Collection is a good deal only for the new gaming generation that had no chance to play both games in the past. Few extras and frame rates issues make it a bad deal for veteran players.

This tie-in is halfway between a NDS beat’em up and an average GBA title (gameplay-wise); a bit more polish could’ve opened it to a wider public, but as it is, it will attract only Naruto’s die hard fans.

It's an interesting and experimental game that does what it has to do but is technically unsatisfying, has no real moments of brilliance, and whose difficulty level is pretty unbalanced. The price tag is low enough to make it worthwhile for some.

Vertigo can't really live up to its name. It's an interesting adventure with some well made plot-twists, but it is one you will soon forget.

The game features a new plot, with a co-op gameplay, too easy and only dedicated to fans of the animated series and manga.

There are a lot of fighters from Kurumada's Epic series, but the simplistic mechanics make them too similar, and the campaign while covering basically all arcs of the story, is clearly rushed, ruining some of the best moments with static cut-scenes. Basically, it's oure fan-service, that will be appreciated only by those who love the manga and the anime.

It's low priced, it has a charismatic protagonist, a good story and it's also very intuitive. Unfortunately Cross of the Dutchman is a very repetitive and uninspired brawler with a short campaign and bad stealth sessions.

Despite its linearity, The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun is still a title to try for all the cartoon's fan, who won't be disappointed by the good plot.

Azure Reflections costs way too much for what it can offer to both veterans and newcomers alike: this is a run-of-the -mill horizontal shooter with no distinctive features and too few stages.

Terminator Salvation - The Videogame can actually be fun at times, but the repetitive gameplay, some technical issues and the lack of a multiplayer mode make this game the usual tie-in, good only for the fan of the brand.

Episode 3 deepens the story with new characters, trying to explain who is the Admin, but on the other hand there's no real action: the element we appreciated in the previous chapter.

SuperHyperCube is a cute and fun puzzle game, but the lack of content could make the game boring too soon.

Trying to give birth to a jack-of-all-trades, suited for both newcomers and veterans of the roguelike subgenre, NIS deliver an average game, with lengthy conversations and a so-so gameplay. Just for the aficionados.

If you love the genre of scrolling beat em up, you grew up with Jimmy and Billy and you want that the memories of those wonderful years remains clear in your mind, stay away from this game.
