    The latest Mortal Kombat is, in our opinion, the best in the series so far. This is more ambitious than the previous ones, has a perfect roster of fighters and offers more content than any other fighting game.

    If you haven't enjoyed this game before, this is the best way to discover the most influential game in the series.

    This homage to the king of pop has achieved modest results, with a good list of songs, but poor implementation of controls, although the ability to sing and dance is cool and Michael Jackson fans will love it.

    This is a good game, as it already was when it was launched almost fifteen years ago, but its only new feature is the 3D view, without a graphic overhaul or anything else new.

    It was already a great game on Nintendo DS, and this version adds a multiplayer mode and beautiful graphics.

    It starts slowly and at first might seem like an expansion, but it has many epic moments waiting for you. It is not the perfect game, but comes dangerously close.

    Super Monkey Ball seems to have been hurried up to arrive at Nintendo 3DS launch. Graphics are noteworthy, sound is decent and 3D works well, but gameplay just doesn't work.

    This is a singular title which is not that similar to the 1985 original. Those who are looking for an HD version of Green Beret might be disappointed, but this is still a good action game with simple gameplay that blends action, adventure and stealth.

    Ultimately, this game will only please series' hardcore fans who are eager to play the next Red Faction game and want some freshness within the series universe. Battlegrounds seems to have been quickly conceived and executed and that is noticeable from the first minutes of play.

    Rabbids 3D won't satisfy those veteran players looking for a classic platform game, as it doesn't bring anything especially new, but it will please younger players looking for an approachable title with long durability.

    This is a very different game compared to Dofus, as action and combat are prominent here and RPG elements are the least. Those who are looking for an adventure game should consider more options before buying it, although it shines visually.

    This is possibly the first game in the series that tries to renew a formula untouched for years. It offers advancements both technical and narrative, and although gameplay-wise it is still stagnated, it works.

    Shift 2: Unleashed builds upon the firm base of the previous game and offers more features and better features. More tracks, vehicles and multiplayer options thanks to the inclusion of the social system Autolog, and also better physics and simulation, which have improved the right way. It is not a perfect simulation experience, but will please most gamers.

    Those who have been longing for years for a Parasite Eve sequel could get slightly dissapointed by The 3rd Birthday, which continues the story, but not the gameplay, becoming a more linear and repetitive game, focused almost only on combat. But it is a great action game, with lots of customization options and a good control scheme.

    This is a more than decent game. Maybe it won't surprise those who don't follow the series, because it doesn't change the formula dramatically, but those who have been The Sims fans for years will like the new ideas of this medieval iteration.
