Both Namco Museum Archives Volume 1 and Volume 2 miss the mark, even if some of the game included are still fun even today. The reasons are a high price, an inconsistent selection and the absence of any kind of extra content.

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg wanted to slightly improve what the original game did best, but it leaves us with the feeling that it lacked the courage to do much better than what we got.

MX vs ATV Legends is a step forward, but just a very little one.

We would have expected something more from this porting, unfortunately Modern Combat 5 still looks like a mobile game and it does not do justice to Nintendo Switch's hardware.

Endless Ocean Luminous is not a bad game per se, but not an excellent one either: you should enjoy it in small doses and, if possible, with the right companions.

Tennis World Tour 2 fails to improve the series and remains very far from the heights reached by Top Spin 4.

Vampire The Masquerade Swansong sticks to the source material very closely, adding very little to distinguish itself from many other adventure games, except for some bugs and inconsistencies. Only suited for long time World of Darkness fans.

A game dedicated to pure strategy fans. There's a lack of options and multiplayer modes though, and some more polish could've done good to the whole experience.

Uncomfortable controls, painful save points management and a bad A.I. could make the game frustrating. It might sound unbelievable, but sometimes this game is even funny.

Unleaving is a fascinating game to look at and a frustrating one to play. The puzzle design is uninspired and based on a cycle of trial-and-error ideas and, despite the fact that i just lasts a couple of hours, it fails to make you feel captivated and motivated by the gameplay. The art direction and the atmosphere are top notch, but those are unfortunately the best things Unleaving has to offer.

Scars Above is pretty much forgettable and that's a real shame, because some of its intriguing ideas had no chance to shine in the game structure and its mechanics.

Front Mission Evolved is a standard product, without any particular ideas worthy of note. You can't find nor a very negative aspect of the game, neither any feature that differentiate it.

Despite a fun co-op mode, Reprobed it's just not enough for making us wanting more Destroy all Humans games, right now. This series needs to be refreshed from ground up in order to have something new to say and offer.

Beyond the Wire finds some good ideas, but its WWI is far from compelling.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is a compilation clearly aimed at a very specific niche: the early fans of the series, those who have loved it since its very first years. For everyone else, including those who got into the TCG from 2008 onward, these games will, in most cases, feel far too “dated” in their structure to be truly enjoyable. The essence of the collection lies in its historical value, but even from that perspective, it’s hard to fully justify its steep launch price.

This tie-in from the Vanguard Animation movie is a basic platformer, clearly inspired by Mario and Sonic. Not really innovative, but nonetheless could be fun for the youngest ones.

Days of War lacks refinement and uniqueness, but it may be fun and the map editor is an interesting value.

51 Worldwide Games has all the pros and cons of compilations games, but the price tag drags this game down even further.

Beyond Blue is an adventure that will not be remembered for its gameplay, but it's something different from what we usually see in gaming and brings a strong message with it.

Quotation forthcoming.

Keepers of the Void adds nothing but four challenging boss fight and a very good armour to the base game, so think about buying it if this is enough for you. Just don't expect nothing more story and gameplay-wise.

Hellboy Web of Wyrd is, sadly, a giant wasted opportunity: the sublime artstyle wasn't unfortunately accompanied by a gameplay that could do justice to the beloved hero.

The Caligula Effect Overdose is plagued by strange design choices, poor performances and uninspired story and art direction, but is saved from a below-average mark by a good combat system.

Lego Star Wars III The Clone Wars is a very easy game, and if you played any other LEGO title, you already know the movie song.

Another puzzle game on DS, so what's new? Not much. The minigames often require a frustrating trial-and-error mechanic and not much logic or lateral thinking. Consider it only if you can't live without your puzzles.

We're afraid no one missed the games included in this third entry of the Prinny Presents series: they're basic SRPG in the vein of the first Disgaea titles, and there's no reason to choose them over any other main entry in the Disgaes or Fire Emblem series.

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.
