    If you enjoyed the NeoGeo classic WindJammers back in the day, DiscStorm delivers kind of the same experience. If you still play with friends in the same room, can be a pretty interesting option.

    We wouldn't call this a 'horror game', rather an adventure but scary one. It's quite repetitive, but if you enjoy exploring an old manor under a creepy atmosphere, then it will satisfy you.

    This is not the ultimate minigame title, but it really is a good example of how to integrate an already known universe like MySims, in a completely new game style. Luckily, the game is attractive enough to attract attention from home children, who surely will have the most fun.

    The sacrifices are understandable, but World War Z is a good adaptation to Nintendo’s hardware that, even with it flaws, shines when played with friends.

    It brings us the opportunity to enjoy the adventure of Luffy and his crew, offering more content than the first game. Fully finishing the game will take us many hours, but it might be boring eventually because of the poor AI of the enemies. It is a great option for those who couldn't play the console version back in its launch, and it will fit perfectly in any collection.

    X-Men Origins: Wolverine for Nintendo DS is a product that, despite the backing of the movie's success, has resulted in quite a mediocre game.

    We can't ignore it feels like a yet to be finished game, with some good ideas but not fully exploited. In fact, perhaps it has been hurried up to be ready for the cinema premiere, and this would have harmed the development. What a shame. Maybe next time.

    The best of Fairytale Fights is the idea to create the story and background of the game, hands down. Its twisted humour makes it attractive enough to be enjoyable, but only if we ignore its flaws.

    In PC, this is and interesting buy, but this Xbox 360 adaptation is an example of how not to do things in gameplay. The control system is too complicated and prevents the players from thoroughly enjoying the battles.

    It's a very generic shooter, which seems to be one of the games we saw at the beginning at the generation or the end of the previous one. Certainly disappointing, there's a game here with several technical issues that still manages to be moderately fun.

    Action games are not known for being particularly long, but they've gone too far this time. You can enjoy the game – a lot, actually –, but before you realize it will be over, and there's not too many reasons for a second play-through. Unless you're looking for a great-looking game on your brand new Xbox One, there are better options out there.

    Warparty is a great game if you want to get started in the genre, but for those with more experience in strategy games, it would end up being too simplistic.

    Broken Roads offers a rich post-apocalyptic world with complex characters and philosophical debates, reminiscent of Wasteland and Disco Elysium. However, it suffers from unfulfilled ambitions and lacks depth in gameplay mechanics. Despite memorable moments and intriguing moral choices, it's hindered by simplistic combat and repetitive missions. Overall, it's a flawed but engaging experience for those willing to overlook its shortcomings.

    Although the game has very good animations and a fun combat system, it lacks some more gameplay elements and is too simple, becoming a title only recommended for Cap fans.

    LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean for PSP is just a decent game, only recommended for kids. It is far below the other versions in terms of graphics and gameplay, and is also a shorter game.

    We're happy to play this type of games, even if it is a smaller production like this one. It doesn't do anything particularly well, but it's good enough to keep you entertained. A good option if you need a budget game or an action platformer for younger players.

    This collection of VR experiences is good, but quite short and not particularly extensive when it comes to content. It's a good example of what VR can offer, but it feels more like a game that should've been included with every headset.

    Its core gameplay is very good, and matches can be very exciting, but some annoying issues get in the way. Also, all players and courts behave very similarly, so it feels the same no matter where or who you play as. Still, we hope the developer addresses this issues.

    Although this is one of the most complete versions of Frogger we have seen in the latest 30 years, it is also too simple. It has varied and fun game modes, very entertaining when played with friends, but the feeling is that the title is too limited, with no new additions to the classic formula or a reinvention.

    A sequel that improves upon the first Slap Them All!, featuring perfect graphics for the franchise, a good soundtrack, enhanced fun in cooperative play with better balance than the original, but falls short in gameplay depth compared to genre leaders, lacks replayability incentives in the scoring system, and once again lacks online multiplayer, leaving room for a more ambitious installment in terms of gameplay, modes, and online features.

    A slighty over-average game that has some good points, like its perspective and character editor, but also lacks much more game modes and fighters, something that is unforgivable in a fighting game. Although it is not a perfect game and it is even far from being very good, this is a meritable approach to MMA sports.

    Good ideas, but the lack of budget/time/experience, or whatever the reason was, resulted in a game that could have been much better. Still, if you know what you're buying, it can be an entertaining experience.

    DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing provides a classic kart racing experience with a complete and charismatic character roster, featuring some good ideas, though not all well-executed, and visually appealing graphics, but it falls short in handling and physics consistency, struggles to convey information accurately, and while not riddled with technical flaws, it has noticeable imperfections.
