Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ is a shooter set in the world of fairy tales. The title is now available in Europe the game has as DSiWare at a cost of only 800 Nintendo Points. This shooter has quite familiar environments, which encourage us to explore, and an original structure. To be reported against a system of precise control, but in the long tiring, a certain amount of repetition and a level of difficulty that isn't properly calibrated. Zombie BBQ is a shooter so discreet that deserves a little thought in its PAL (same but cheaper) DSiWare exclusive, but probably not worth the cost of imported game for those without a DSi.

The cooperative/competitive system on which the game is based is pretty interesting, but simplistic mechanics and lack of variety are an hard obstacle to overcome. Also, playing it alone is a chore.

Basically Penny Punching Princess is yet another low budget production by Nippon Ichi who tries to throw into the fray some new gameplay, without having to take too much work from the technical point of view. The combat system can also be innovative and interesting to deepen, but in the long run can not entertain the player who is forced to move for dungeons always the same, which must be repeated several times each to improve the statistics of the princess and mitigate a particularly high level of difficulty.

Despite a refined gameplay, different from the usual and pretty much all based on skill, War of the Vikings can not convince due to several problems, especially in the field of animation and in the server latency.

Adventure Island: The Beginning, developed by Hudson, returns after many years. The game, fun and engaging, is limited by some ups and downs. A very short length, balanced by a level of difficulty at times frustrating, it may not attract long-time players and even the less experienced. The idea of the upgrades is interesting and actually extends the gaming experience, but there are only five worlds. The return of Master Higgins is therefore a fun title that, despite the limitations mentioned, it is very suitable for those who appreciated the first titles in the series.

Duke Nukem Forever is buoyed by the explosive force of its own brand. It has a lot of issues, first of all its old graphic engine. Fans will find an enjoyable experience, but there's much better out there for the same price.

The first episode is a good start for Minecraft: Story Mode: Season two, but we need some innovations for this gameplay.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame Remastered still has the charm of the original outing, but the laziness of this remaster prevents it from reaching a higher score.

A Golden Wake is an adventure that cannot fully leave the sign; the gameplay offered by Grundislav Games, in fact, stands at a difficulty level too low to pose a real challenge.

Alice: Madness Returns isn't as good as we expected. It has a lot of style and very good visual deisgn, but its long main adventure becomes very repetitive too soon.

Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle is a mediocre graphic adventure with some good humoristic cut scenes. This Wii version doesn't offer nothing more than the PC version, except for the not-well implemented control system.

Football Manager Classic 2014 is essentially a great game trapped into a cage made by a terrible porting. Loading times are unacceptable and the interface isn't suited for the PSVita hardware. Still, its gameplay can be hypnotic.

Alice: Madness Returns isn't as good as we expected. It has a lot of style and very good visual deisgn, but its long main adventure becomes very repetitive too soon.

A simple and funny killtime... for a match or two.

Biomutant has multiple facets, some accomplished quite well, while others would have deserved more polish and a substantial overhaul to reach their targets. The experience is still enjoyable for large chunks, but Experiment 101 will have to do some more next time to fully convince us.

Definitely not the best WiiU port around, plagued by aliasing and framerate troubles. Still, it remains one of the best Musou games on the market, and with added content too.

Steelrising has an interesting take on the French Revolution, but it really has nothing new to offer to soulslikes' lovers, expect for the difficulty selection.

Pro Cycling Manager 2018 take some steps into the right direction. The new contract system is fun, the relationship with the sponsor is simpler, and the AI is more refinished as well. Still there are many flaws in quite every aspect of the game, but if you missed the game last year, you might want to check out this new one.

The game is recommended to those who are looking for a product able to deliver a few laughs with friends, also because of the interesting co-op mode, which provides, for each player, the use of a different limb, for a "virtual" version of Twister. Really hilarious.

Quotation forthcoming.

The expectations of those who were hoping for a videogame, Dark Void, which would finally be able to bring a breath of fresh air into the third-person action genre, are sadly disappointed, at least in part, from this title. Certainly the air-combat component has been implemented in a very good way, but it's unfortunately not sufficiently good enough, in a game were you must alternate flying phases with boring sections on foot. The game's value is also clouded by an only discrete technical compartment, lifted in part by a great soundtrack. A pity, because there was a huge potential in the concept idea of Dark Void.

It can be fun with friends, but it truly lacks content, and is not even remotely excellent, especially when compared to other Nintendo titles that were able to reimagine sports gaming in unexpected ways. Consider it only if you have kids, or if you are looking for an intuitive party game.

Singstar Queen is just for real Queen's fans that only have a PS2, because this version of the game has a poor track list, and it hasn't got any new game mode.

The classic more of the same. You won't find any new feature, combo or new gameplay idea here. Just for the die hard fans.

Exaclty like the tv series, Heroes Reborn is a mass of untapped potential, that starts with some good ideas (even if they’re partly recycled from other games) but wastes most of them on a boring storyline. It’s a decent tie-in, nothing more, nothing less.

Despite the amazing visual concept, Escape Plan doesn't add nothing new to genre. The overall experience is also marked by a poor implementation of the controls.

Velvet Assassin delivers a fresh point of view on the Second World War scenario, providing the player with more intense and human aspects than the average shooter. Sadly, the stealth gameplay is split between great level design and lousy A.I, while the overall experience feels a little bit too linear. Disappointing, since a deeper testing could've made a great game of this interesting concept.

It's basically the same game as Ghost Recon Online but with not so many more maps: a third person shooter that aims to be tactical without being able to provide fun for more than a few hours. It deserves to be tried only because it's free and nothing else.
