    We keep liking Phoenix Wright, but this version is not as technically advanced as we expected, and you have to decide if the pleasure of enjoying the story compensates that limitation.

    This is a good game, but far from the classics. It doesn't bring many new features, but entertains more than expected.

    You have to have sense of humor and Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond does and helps the player have it. Its humour is well taken, and although it results limited to videogame fans, it helps us pass a good time while playing old formulas.

    Darksiders is above all a very comprehensive game. It fits elements from many other games, without going in depth in any of them nor having its own style, but maintaining a balance which makes it a great action-adventure game.

    Reflect Missile is a new proof that a well conceived, yet simple, idea, can make a good videogame.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It delivers as a "false" classic game, and it does appear to be like a Castlevania of the nineties. This will please the series followers, although maybe other gamers won't understand the game within its desired epoch and may be turned off.
    • 66 Metascore

    This is a good title that will offer a very good experience to those willing to give it a chance and fight a little bit against its particular combat system.

    Backed by a quality studio, Battle Fantasia is an interesting fighting game which can result risky at times. It has some RPG elements, although shallow, which change some of the more typical aspects of its genre, and only a dozen characters. The advantage is that there are no filler characters, but a larger line-up would have favoured the game with more variety.

    As a lightgun-shooter game is, hands down, superior to the other ones of WiiWare, but it cannot compare with retail games of the genre, both in action and story.

    The most remarkable element in its gameplay design is that it has know how to emancipate itself from the Rubik cube: previous attempts show it won't work in videogames, and it is just an inspiration for this game.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Fun and constant self-challenging are key to PixelJunk, to take apparently simple ideas and take them to practice with amazing mastery. Shooter is the best example of that, you won't be able to leave the gamepad until exploring the last gap of this changing world.

    Tales of Monkey Island is one of the mos frantic and fun adventures out there, specially from the third chapter. Telltale Games has not resurrected Guybrush just to make profits, but to create a new set of adventures that work perfectly.

    Although it is not as technically advanced as other downloadable games of the consoles, and the control is sometimes frustrating, it is a good opportunity for war action fans to revive one of the classics of the genre.

    Rogue Warrior doesn't live up to expectations and to its long development process. The story might have inspired a title with a more varied and polished gameplay, but this Rebellion game is affected by a scarce duration, which is unacceptable today.

    Avatar achieves something unusual: a movie-based game which is not disgusting. It is actually an interesting and very compelling title, offering a good third-persona action proposal which excels in its atmosphere.

    This game improves many of the aspect of the previous one, although it takes a step back in other areas. The most serious problem is the seldom sensation of lack of challenge; quite often we won't feel any pressure to keep advancing.
