    Very few things to complain about. We miss an actual multiplayer mode, or a full Game Center compatibility, but apart from that, it's entertaining, cheap and a universal app. We really think you'll love its offer, so it is definitely worth trying.

    It's quite good, and we enjoyed its gameplay and its team-based offer. We have to wait and see how it evolves, but the base concept leads us to think Ghost Recon Online may have a very bright future. We deeply encourage you to give it a try, especially if you like tactic action and you don't feel like spending any money.

    Offers one of the best single player campaigns we've seen in years. Entertaining, different, intense, spectacular and with really memorable moments. It sticks to the original series, something fans will definitely love. It offers everything Transformers fans have always asked for. Its multiplayer modes won't be consider revolutionary, but it is a must-have, above all if you're a fan of the series.

    One of the best games available on iOS, and almost on any other portable device. It vanishes the line between portable devices and portable video game systems. A beautiful and entertaining story and a rich gaming offer, together with its stunning graphics, make Horn worth it of any iDevice.

    Tales of Graces F is a great classic Japanese RPG game, featuring a great story, charming characters, many hours of gameplay, a brilliant battle system and many, many things to do. We need to mention that being only in English might be a problem for those unfamiliar with the language, but if you're a fan of the RPGs, you can't miss it.

    Dark Souls is definitely an absolutely great game, and it proves you can attract a big audience by offering an unusually high difficulty. New content, a high-res fixes and some other improvements are the reasons why this version is the best of the three available. It's not the best PC adaptation, but it is an experience worth playing.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Edition is brilliant – the only problem is the price. There's no new content except for the online features and the visuals haven't been really upgraded, which lead us to think that the price should have been closer to the PSOne Classics on PSN. Recommended for those who love retro fighting games, as long as they ignore the price.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive brings back all the fun and entertainment we've always gotten from this series. More action, with updated visuals and a great price. We would have liked some good new additions, since the new modes are no rival for the classic competitive one. CS: Global Offensive doesn't take the franchise a step further, but it still is Counter-Strike.

    A game made for hardcore cycling fans. Its gameplay might result simple for many players, but each stage of the competition is an strategy challenge, and also depends on luck. Winning is not easy, and that is something interesting that fosters us to keep playing. It has some interesting elements and improvements in comparison with the previous year version, but technically it is still poor, and has room for many enhancements.

    This is a game you cannot miss. The whole game offers more than many retail titles, for only 1,200 Microsoft Points. The visuals are stunning, the battle system is entertaining and there's many maps for us to explore. We can conclude by saying that it's one of the best games on Xbox Live Arcade.

    Darksiders II is better than we expected, we just loved it. It offers tons of content to keep us playing for many many hours, and proves that you don't need to reinvent the wheel to create something new and full of personality. As a game it is excellent and generous with the player, so if you liked the first game, then you should now the wait was worth it. If you miss the original Darksiders, please give this a try. To sum up, it's just one of the adventures of the year. A must-have.

    Sleeping Dogs is a very good sandbox game, even though there are two things some players may complain about: its lack of personality and the lack of innovation. If you're OK with this, then this game has a lot to offer, from many hours of fun to a engaging story. Sleeping Dogs is, above all, a great surprise full of entertainment and quality. Definitely worth trying.

    Monster Life is the perfect game for those who loved Viva Piñata!. Gameloft doesn't hide its influences, bringing an almost identical gameplay from the very beginning. It has its own features though, like the RPG features. It relies on the idea of buying coins in order to progress faster, but there's no real need to do so, and we won't need them if we organize the way we play. You may dislike the free-2-play model, but if you like Viva Piñata! it's worth trying.

    Pitfall! manages to bring the gameplay of the original version to iOS, but it borrows –maybe too much– from other iOS/Android games like Temple Run. Apart from this, it's a fast and entertaining game, offering a very addictive and refreshing proposal on iOS. Ideal for those never-ending summer days.

    The console version is late and in a bad shape. We expected much more, but it doesn't live up to the bar set for the current generation of console games. It is certainly better than the previous game –yet, we recommend enjoying the adventure on PC, unless you're willing to forgive its graphical and control issues.

    It's charming, well planned and its atmosphere and gameplay won't let you go until you finish it up. Once you are done with it, you won't complain about its short length –you will be happy because you've enjoyed such a experience. It is not very original, but if you're a puzzle-based adventure games fan, it's a must-have.

    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.

    Hybrid is refreshing, and those who are tired of playing the same kind of multiplayer game all the time, or simply those who love action multiplayer games, should give it a try. Getting used to the inability to move around freely might be difficult at the beginning, but then you find out that it's part of the gameplay and what makes it different. Everything is different in Hybrid. It's yet to be seen whether the players will embrace the idea and wait for the issues to be fixed, but the risks taken by 5th cell deserve our support.

    Retro Athletics won't give you the best gaming experience –it relies on old mechanics, but that's what makes it fun and appealing for classic gamers. It's simple and fast, and this together with its visual style and its price are some of the features that make it worth of a medal of our personal podium. If you're also interested in the multiplayer via Facebook, then Retro Athletics is the perfect choice.

    A good game with not too many weaknesses or too many strengths, which is something that will make it hard to be highlighted among the rest of the puzzle games on Steam. It's entertaining, properly done and its gameplay usually works, even though it might become quite frustrating sometimes. It is worth recommending for the puzzle lovers, and there's a demo available in case you want to try it yourself first.

    The best we can say about Death Rally for PC is that it is really addictive, and you can't stop running one race after another once started. It has few tracks and cars, only a game mode and very limited multiplayer options, but a simple and engaging gameplay. Its major flaw is that it is too limited and short in content, and some players will find it repetitive, but the price is worth a buy.

    Sound Shapes is one of those downloadable jewels for platforming and music fans. Its only flaw is that it is a bit short in the campaign mode, but it compensates for it with several challenge options and a comprehensive editor. One of the most original PSN games in months.

    If you enjoyed the first game you will find in this sequel the classic formula: more and better, but with few additions or new features. Apart from this, this is a great game, and you can try the demo before deciding a purchase.

    It is difficult to review such a compilatorion when compared with the many ones that have been released in the last months. Sega keeps all the elements which turned Golden Axe into a classic, but there is nothing else than that, with almost no enhancements over the original games. Only for hardcore, nostalgia-driven fans.

    Those kids who have enjoyed the movie will have a great time controlling the brave princess, and probably will play the game twice to discover all its secrets. It will hardly attract another type of players, but it is above average game, and a good movie tie-in.

    Catapult King is what it aspires to be: an entertaining and enjoyable game, with an interesting progression and good difficulty curve. It takes the concept brough by Angry Birds and gives it a new perspective and 3D graphics. A fresh alternative with a medieval setting, but not a revolutionary game.

    A game with plenty of virtues that serie lovers will appreciate, and very engaging for a very long time. It has all the elements that make this series special, but the formula and visuals have aged a lot, and only hardcore fans will be interested.

    A convincing game, designed to teach the user and foster its creativity and abilities. It won't turn you into a painter, but maybe encourages you to try the real thing with some knowledge.
    • 47 Metascore

    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.
