    It doesn't change its gameplay style towards something more deep and balanced and, ultimately, it does not add really new features. But Dragon Ball fans will enjoy it a lot, and also those who like the series and have not tried a Dragon Ball game for some time.

    Earthblood is one of those games that will keep you entertained, although pretty much everything about it is average at best.

    The best thing about this edition is that it will reach some people the original didn’t. Apart from that, it feels like a step back in pretty much every aspect.

    Red Goddess is a game that some will enjoy, and others will hate. Make sure you understand it's a metroidvania style game with flaws, but interesting enough for a certain audience.

    Has a scarce story mode and an interesting multiplayer, but uneven results in global.

    As long as you expect a light RPG, both in game mechanics and story, it's indeed enjoyable, but there are better options out there.

    Reynatis fits the profile of an RPG that Furyu and other developers have found as a niche: stories with anime influences, some curious points in the gameplay –the combat has its spark- and an approach that, for better or worse, takes us back to the role-playing game designed two decades ago. It is not necessarily a negative thing, after all there are plenty of RPGs from that era that are more fun than today's blockbusters, but the irregular execution is a problem that ends up subtracting many from the evaluation. It is not Furyu's best game, and it is certainly far from that Versus XIII that many of us imagined in 2006.

    Space Channel 5 VR is fantastic. A great comeback that keeps the charm of the original intact, and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. And you better make sure you enjoy every minute, because the alarming lack of content is its biggest flaw, particularly if you consider its price.

    Has-Been Heroes has some great ideas and offers a interesting take on strategy, but some questionable design choices prevent it from being a better game.

    Sociable Soccer 24 is a mobile game adapted to PC that tries to revive the spirit of arcade soccer games, but falls short in gameplay, graphics, and variety. It has some positive aspects, such as the FIFPro licenses, the player crafting system, and the challenge mode, but it is not enough to compete with other soccer simulators.

    Although the core gameplay is solid, it’s not as engaging as it should be, and all the excitement fades away after a few hours.

    If you're going to play with some friends, it can be moderately fun. If you're going to play alone, then there are many other options out there to choose from.

    DBZ: Extreme Butoden is promising, but it falls short in many key aspects. The foundations are very solid, so we can only hope that a hypothetical sequel fixes all those issues.

    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.

    Afro Samurai clearly is an enjoyable title, which is easy to play and can bring us a lot of fun if we manage to forget its flaws, but it doesn't prevent its relevant problems.

    This remake delivers a visually improved version of a classic SRPG with a complex mech-based tactical system and a mature, politically charged story, but suffers from a poor Spanish translation and a lack of meaningful gameplay innovations; while the enhanced interface and new quality-of-life options help, the game misses the chance to fully modernize or preserve the original’s raw essence.

    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.

    The game achieves to be faithful to the books, but it has quite a lot of flaws. Its gameplay is unbalanced and the story isn't told quite well. It only becomes enjoyable after some hours of play.

    This title is a very interesting boss rush with some really good ideas, but it failed to get the most important thing right: its gameplay. It's a shame that it came short gameplay-wise, since the concept was fantastic.

    Phoning Home isn't a bad game, but its gameplay doesn't shine as much as its graphics.

    This is a very challenging platformer with a quite unique idea, but quite generic in its execution. There are good ideas behind it, but its control doesn't work as it should, and the trial-and-error gameplay doesn't really help either.

    Ride has its issues, but taking into account the fact that there aren't many bike games on next generation consoles, it still is an option.

    The formula still works, but this adaptation is strange and a bit confusing. It changes the visuals but the new ones are not breathtaking, the levels have been splitted for some reason, and its in-app purchases are a bit insulting.

    This is a very simple, very lineal JRPG with an interesting combat system that doesn’t really shine. Enjoyable, but not enough to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the franchise.

    Time has taken its toll on Alone in the Dark, but having it available on iOS is still a good choice for those who want to relive the original experience.

    The game has not quite fulfilled its potential, with overall good minigames but not enough variety.

    As a game aimed at young players and Harry Potter fans, there's several moments worth highlighting, even though the rest of PS3 users might not find it particularly attractive.
