    A very interesting title, whose content could have been improved. We may feel it's quite repetitive, so we recommend taking our time to go through it, having even a little break between episodes.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Frustrating at the beginning, after a little while we'll get used to the gameplay mechanics and then, we will be able yo enjoy this puzzle game. It's quite entertaining and challenging, and thus, recommended for those looking for this kind of experiences on 3DS.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    A great version of the original Xbox title, with some visual improvements that make it look great on the PlayStation Vita screen. Recommended for those who missed the original game or just for those who want to play a better version on a handheld.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's full of great ideas, but the lack of clear objectives may be confusing for some players. It is indeed a very interesting proposal that has the potential to evolve into something big.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    This is a very interesting title that many people will not play because its characters are quite ugly. As simple as that. But if you can get past those, let say, not appealing protagonists, you'll find a deep platformer full of surprises.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Still far from the classic games starring Rockman, but it's fun and manages to bring back the memories of those titles. The addition of Street Fighter characters and, above all, the mere fact of it being free make it worth a try.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It brings all together comics, humor, managing and simulation, packed under an attractive look and gameplay. It's a free-to-play title, but a very interesting and addictive one.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's the same outstanding basketball simulator we've seen before, but there are some minor issues compared to the previous versions, like the frame rate or the lack of use of the GamePad. Still, the best option for those looking for a basketball game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Its proposal is, indeed, weird: capturing Denpa Men through Wi-Fi hotspots. However is a great RPG, a nice surprise recommended for the fans of the genre looking for new experiences.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It is basically an action game from a third person perspective, but it adds survival and strategy to make it a deeper experience. The customization options and the possibilities to recruit survivors make it even more recommendable.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    It is good and addictive, but it becomes eventually so hard that might discourage you from keep on playing. If you're up for a challenge, go ahead, otherwise keep its difficulty in mind.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Especially fun if played with friends –or against them–, this new Ratchet & Clank doesn't seem to fully work as a whole, but at least brings us something fresh for the series.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Surprisingly good, it offers a great free-to-play experience with dozens of hours of fun ahead. There are some technical issues waiting to be solved, but if the studio, the publisher and the players support PlanetSide 2, the future of PlanetSide 2 could be really bright.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It's fun and challenging but, above all, unique. There are some issues related to the control of the characters that prevent it from becoming a must-have, but still is a great choice worth having a try.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It is exactly what we expected: a classic graphic adventure, continuing the trilogy and improving everything we saw in the first episode. We really miss having it localized –into Spanish in our case– but still is a great choice we're sure you'll enjoy.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    This title surprises us bringing all the content –and almost the same visuals– than the console version. It's the karts game PSVita was missing, and proves once again that Sony's handheld has a great variety of titles.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Visually stunning and technically outstanding, Hollywood Monsters is a must-have for graphic adventures fans.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's unique. There's no defined genre but it's a great experience that will manage to catch the player's attention, even though it would be quite particular for the standard audience.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's surprisingly good in every aspect, and offers a great experience. It's fun, beautiful and well-adapted to the hardware it runs on, so we at least recommend having a look at it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A bad port, done without effort and rushed. There's little use of the Wii U exclusive features and the frame-rate drops below 20 without reason. You'll get used to that and enjoy the great game behind it, but we recommend playing in on another platform.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As good as the 3DS version, extremely well adapted to the HD and still addictive and fun. Recommended for those who like arcade and retro-styled games.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a complete and satisfying game, that proves that it's a a MOBA is possible on consoles. We think both old fans and newcomers to the genre should give it a try.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A surprisingly interesting card-based game, worth giving a try if you like the genre and/or Uncharted, of course.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    It's aimed for kids, and four children smashing buttons in front of the screen could actually have fun, but everyone else will find a repetitive, boring experience.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's as good as always and solves the issues we experienced with GTA III. A great adaptation worth checking out, whether you've already played the original game or not.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It's really hard to review this kind of games. They are well adapted, but there's little addition compared to the original versions. Only recommended for nostalgic gamers.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    As an adaptation, it's somewhere between PS3 and Xbox 360, but one way or another it's an outstanding game. However, it's quite weird playing the end of a story, no matter how many comics we find along the way.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    A survival –not horror– simulator, that will leave us out in a wild island so we can fight for our live. First consider whether this would be an experience you want to live, and if so, please go ahead and buy it.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great example of what a DLC should be: it's deep and expands the features of the huge original experience. Actually, it's so good that we can't wait to see the next one.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A great idea held by its issues. We really hoped there were some improvements on the Wii U version, but it fails to deliver an engaging experience.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The most complete version so far is one of those games you don't want to miss if you've just bought your new Wii U. Beautiful and deep, Trine 2 is as good as we've seen it on other platforms.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're ok with its price, then you can bring home 31 pieces of the history of video games, pretty well adapted to HDTVs, with trophies/achievements, ranking boards and no loading screens. However, we miss some kind of information about the titles included.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The lack of many RPG features might be somehow confusing, but it's fun and addictive. On the top of that, it makes us think, so we really recommend it for those looking for something different to play on the 3DS.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's a difficult game, spectacular and addictive, filled with personality. It's definitely one of the best titles on Wii U so far, so if you are interested in the genre, go ahead and buy it.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A nice surprise, but as a whole we feel it's not enough. You'll enjoy the game as long as it lasts, especially with friends, but we were expecting a much deeper experience.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The same experiences we've enjoyed on other consoles, keeping all its strengths and weaknesses. There's little use of the GamePad, but Ubisoft didn't want to force the experience.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It is the best version of the game out there when it comes to content and experience, but the framerate makes it hard to enjoy sometimes. If you haven't played the game before, it's one of the best adventures you'll see in a while.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    As a product for the fans who loved the original episodes is good, but as an HD remake there's a lot of room for improvement. Recommended for those who want to (re)live the experience, taking into account its reduced priced.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    You might not enjoy its concept, but if you do, then you'll find a big game with a lot of possibilities. We hope Activision will keep on improving the series, but so far it's going the right way.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The best adventure based on The Lord of the Rings. Long, fun, beautiful and close to the movies. If you're a LOTR fan then go ahead and buy it. If you're not, give it a try –it's great.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A great title with the best multiplayer we've seen on this console so far. There are some framerate issues, but if you're a FPS fan, then this is a must have.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It offers almost a perfect balance between gameplay, difficulty and graphics. There are certain aspects that could have been improved, but still it's a very recommended game.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Ideal for those who love the original game, but those who are not comfortable with "old" playable schemes should try it before making up their minds.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great update for the classic, but not a must-have if you have the original one. If you don't, now it's the perfect choice to live this adventure.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Family Guy deserves something better, and the only think worth about it are the characters and jokes. The cooperative mode, however, is fun, but still we recommend trying it before buying it.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It's closer to FIFA 12 and there's no Ultimate Team, but indeed it's a great choice for those looking for a football game on Nintendo's new hardware. On the top of that, is the best portable version ever made if we choose the Off-TV mode and we don't go too far from the console.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It needs to evolve, but still it's a great game. It's easily become one of the best games on Wii U, however, we can and we will ask for a step forward in the series.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Good ideas that fail to materialize. That's the summary of this title, that ends up being simple and repetitive. It has some positive things, but it won't keep us playing for too long.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Another awesome indie game. It might look standard, but it's design is perfect and it will become a challenging, very pleasing experience. Absolutely recommended for platformers fans.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    This is an addictive, long and hard game. Visually stunning and fun ARC Squadron is one of the best games in its genre we've seen this year, so if you like shooting aliens it's worth trying.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Every month you find new indie games, better, funnier, longer and cheaper. We were very excited about the new Mickey Mouse classic adventure, but it's just an average title.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The best version so far. It solves many issues and keeps some others, and, even though it doesn't make the most of current PCs, we still think it's the best way to enjoy this outstanding game.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's surprising and satisfying, but definitely not for everyone. Actually, it's not a standard game and not even close to World of Goo. Recommended for those who enjoyed games like Doodle God or simply love that "special something" Tomorrow's Corporation's titles have.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    If you're buying the Premium version, Nintendo Land is a great addition, but if you're buying the basic one, keep in mind this game is meant to be played with friends and family. One way or another, Nintendo Land is a title every Wii U user should, at least, try.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    A perfect ending for the first season. If the second season is just as good as this one, we're taking it for granted that no one will want to miss it.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    All the extra content and new GamePad features on Wii U make it a great choice until Zelda comes, even though visually it's slightly worse than the other versions.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't make the most of the GamePad, but allows five players simultaneously which should be enough to make it even more fun than the other versions.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    One of the best IPs Nintendo has done recently. It's fresh, clever and challenging and the only thing we could ask for is a "Rotblox" where we can 'rotate' the pieces!
    • 91 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Frenetic, wild, interesting, deep, full of content... the list goes on and on. It's one the best first-person sandbox ever made, and we only hope there's a bright future waiting for this IP.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Nothing new, but it works. It's fun, entertaining and polished, so if you're looking for fast and simple action, give it a try.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    As a tribute to the PlayStation family it could have been better, but as a fighting game it's outstanding. Loads of fun based on a great multiplayer will have us playing for a long while.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's more than a simple 'hidden objects' game, it's a tribute some nostalgic players will appreciate. On the top of that, it's a very interesting title that will keep us busy for a long while.
    • 33 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    It feels unfinished and rushed through development. We really think it could've been polished to make it a better game, but unless an important patch comes out, it's really hard to recommend taking into account all the constant crashes when playing online and the extremely short single player modes.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's complex, can be played as many times as we want and there are so many possibilities we couldn't ask for something better. Some may say there's little evolution compared to the previous episodes, but one way or another, we think it's one of the best games we've played this year.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    As a first person survival horror, it's a great game, even though we feel certain aspects could have been improved. One of the best WiiU launch titles, and one of the very few titles that made us feel nervous in the last few years.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's manages to show its own personality, and offers loads of content supported by a great gameplay. Highly recommended if we want to play with friends or family, and on the top of that, its reduced price is something many players will appreciate.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    It's far from perfect, but it offers a great and fresh experience. If you accept it as it is it'll become and adventure worth enjoying. Absolutely recommended for those who miss the classic 3D platform games.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    It begins with an attractive idea, being the Anti-Christ embodied in a little kid, but the gameplay gets boring and Lucius doesn't offer a satisfying experience.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    A very long game, that needs lots of time –and money, if we are inpatients– but that won't offer anything new. If you're familiar with this kind of free-to-play titles and The Hobbit doesn't appeal to you, you can keep on searching.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's a typical free-to-play game, but still it's addictive and the Jurassic Park license is indeed a nice feature. If you enjoy these kinds of games, and don't mind switching tomatoes and farms for dinosaurs, then it's worth checking out.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    It's easy to understand and offers a different experience, something not very common these days. Technically surprising, it's hard to forget the fact that it's has been developed for kids, but if you're a Harry Potter fan, you should give it a try.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's exactly what a karting game should be, using the F1 license to appeal a wider audience. It's not the best karting game out there, but showing no weaknesses is a great reason to give it a try.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Exactly what we expected. The campaign struggles to surprise, but the multiplayer and zombie modes have been greatly improved, and they are the ones to credit for making it an outstanding title. Some people will complain about the lack of evolution, while some others will enjoy the hundreds of hours of fun it offers.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The very same game we know, being this both positive and negative. We need to mention that the control is harder on iDevices, but it's not a bad choice if you want to relive this controversial classic.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If we look at it as a remake, then it's an excellent job. If we look at it as a present-day game, then it's quite limited, very short and doesn't really ask for a second playthrough. Still it's recommended for the fans of the original one.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    With the biggest database of football players and teams, Football Manager 2013 brings back the best of the previous episode to improve and expand it. The only thing we could complain about is the 3D graphics, which we consider should have been better, but still it leaves us with a feeling of almost perfection.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    It brings back all the elements that made the previous episodes as great as they are, wrapped up by Star Wars. It's still as fun as always, and really recommended if you're a fan of any of the series.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some people may thing it's just an adaptation, but there's much more behind it. It mixes up the racing gameplay with the creative essence of LittleBigPlanet, resulting in a good karting title with a great potential for content creation, and offering more than we expected.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It may look simple, but it does hide a complete game with several options and even strategy and customization. It will keep us busy for a while, so if you like the concept is a recommended game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Not many additions except for the Attitude Era, but it still manages to offer deep gameplay and many hours of fun. There are not too many choices in this genre; however, WWE 13 is complete enough to satisfy wrestling fans.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Criterion's seal of quality. They've managed to squeeze the console version on Sony's handheld, just adapting the graphics to the new hardware. It doesn't look as good as the PS3 or 360 version, but it's still the same experience, and one the best titles you'll see on PSVita in a while. Absolutely recommended for fans of driving games.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fresh, original and fun. It's not something extremely new or revolutionary, but still one of the best choices for those looking for an unique puzzle game on iOS.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Pid
    Mixing up platforms and puzzles, Pid offers old-school difficulty and a very enjoyable experience. Definitely recommended for those who want to go back in time and make the most of a game that will bring us many hours of fun.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A correct adaptation to HD hardware, but the lack of additions and not including the second episode of the series make us recommend it exclusively to those nostalgic gamers who miss playing those PS2 titles.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A simple, fun and perfectly executed idea, both visually and when it comes to the gameplay. It's surprising how something that simple can be that fun, but it ends up becoming repetitive. It can last way longer if we stick to the multiplayer modes, though.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Perfect for those who're looking for simple and plain action that will leave you exhausted. There are few additions compared to the original release, but it is indeed the best option to relive or to discover this frenetic series.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    A natural evolution of the series that sets the groundwork for new episodes. There are no huge innovations, but it sticks to its core development and Halo fans will love it. A great campaign and and immense multiplayer – with the promise of free weekly content – will keep us busy for a long while. A must-have without any doubt.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Not really recommended as a game by itself, since it's pretty limited. However, as an add-on or extra for Pokémon Black & White 2 it is definitely worth considering.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Full of options, it's complex and very entertaining. It's not the same game we've played on PC or consoles, but still a great choice if you're looking for a strategy/RPG/action game on iOS.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A correct 'brain trainer', but lacks a good presentation or more game modes. This, together with some other aspects that could've been improved makes Smart As… a good option for those who are looking for this kind of experience on PSVita, taking into account that it's the only one.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Great, but not brilliant. It will satisfy the fans of the series or anyone looking for a good adventure, however, the presence of very important bugs and the performance are two unforgivable issues that worsen the general experience.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The best choice if you want to enjoy this adventure. It's the very same game, but making the most of it. Adapted to the DualShock 3 and PlayStation Move controllers, Okami is still a game we recommend you to (re)discover.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The best Assassin's Creed and one of the best games of the year. Bigger and better, and still an Assassin's Creed. It takes the core of the series and takes it to a whole new level in almost every aspect. It provides dozens of hours of gameplay, and, if you forgive some technical issues, you'll be in front of one of the best adventures we've seen in the last few years.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A just correct remake, with a lot of room for improvement. It does fix some issues present in the original game and improves the textures, but still it feels far from other HD remakes. One way or another, it is indeed the best way to get involved with the beginning of the series.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's really hard to mark this game, taking into account you could get the same content on other platforms way cheaper than this. However it's a really good choice for those who'd like to try the series comfortably at home and haven't played it before.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Just another step forward of the series, without relevant additions, but still recommended for any Professor Layton fan or for those who want to try it for the very first time. However, we really hope Level 5 will manage to surprise us with the next episode before the whole series get stuck.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    A great journey through a dark story, where reality, madness and imagination is sometimes confusing. Some issues lower the quality of the experience, but it still is one of the best graphic adventure games we've played this year and every fan should try.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    Criterion just did it again. This is one of the best driving games we've seen in the last few years. Full of content and with many hours of fun waiting for us, no matter if we're playing alone or online. It shows that probably the only way to improve an open-world title is waiting for a more powerful hardware, since Criterion can only beat itself. Definitely a must-have.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    A weird experience, short, unique and disturbing. A mix of action and strategy that will absorb you and won't let you stop until you finish it. Not for everyone, but absolutely recommended for those players looking for something new.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Good, but still far from what EA is attempting to achieve. It will be enough for those looking for their annual war-themed FPS, but its gameplay needs to reach the high levels seen in its audio and visual aspects.
