    Scribblenauts Unlimited
    Scribblenauts Unlimited is not the game Wii U needed right now, nor that kind of production that can highlight the uniqueness of the new Nintendo hardware... nonetheless, it’s a funny language laboratory and a clever gaming workshop. The Gamepad allows for some sharing between who’s playing and the ones sitting along on the sofa, making 5th Cell effort a good choice for some evening sessions between friends and relatives.

    Skulls of the Shogun
    Skulls of the Shogun is a well developed and very fun strategy videogame. Too bad it lacks of a higher degree of challenge and contains some tedious missions, yet it compensates with a slick and elegant gameplay, nice humor and an interesting multiplayer offering.

    God of War: Ascension
    Ascension is exactly the God of War you'd expect: colossal in its scale, technically majestic, insanely gruesome and fun to play. A huge production that shows the brute horsepower of the PS3, while denoting the weaknesses of a series that has reached its peak and needs a breathe of fresh air.
    • Metascore: 85
    • Critic Score 80
    BattleBlock Theater
    Refined, mad and really rich in contents, BattleBlock Theater is a well developed platform game which may satisfy both players looking for a solitary experience and others willing to apply for entertaining multiplayer sessions.

    Guacamelee!
    Behind the lucha libre galore there's a solid action-game, with polished core mechanics, stunning visuals and a beautiful “old school” feeling. Lacking the perfection and the sense of loneliness of Super Metroid, Gaucamelee! may be too easy for a seasoned gamer. Beside that, it's fun and addictive.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 80
    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is another very good reason to own a 3DS. It's the same huge game you can play on Wii U, and local coop is a blast. Online support is laughable, but the game is still a wonder. Having to choose, though, the Wii U version is superior.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Critic Score 80
    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams on Xbox 360 is still a good nostalgic platform game that offers a nice challenge. Slightly longer loading times and the absence of the two free DLCs makes this version a bit less desirable, but still good for players that don't have a gaming PC.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 80
    Picross e2
    Picross e2 brings another sleeve of compelling nanograms on your 3DS at an affordable price. A perfect fit for keeping your head busy during otherwise boring trip to/from work/school.
    • Metascore: 81
    • Critic Score 80
    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
    Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has everything you would expect from a perfect DLC. It's different from the main game for atmosphere, settings and game world, it is durable, the price is fully justified and gameplay doesn't betray the original Far Cry 3 model.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 80
    Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller Episode 3 - The Oracle
    This series in growing with time and The Oracle is the best episode so far, fresh and even bold in the way it approaches narration and puzzles. If you liked the first two episodes, you definitely should get this one.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 80
    Anomaly 2
    Like the first episode, Anomaly 2 changes the point of view of tower defense genre, with cleverness and a wonderful game design. Blasting away tons of alien forces it's always fun: doing it using the brain, well, it's a different story.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 80
    Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move
    Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move provides a ton of variety and a consistent level of challenge. It's a simple, accessible and entertaining puzzle game that combines Nintendo craftsmanship with a competitive price tag.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 75
    Fractured Soul
    A new incarnation for an old - but smart - idea built around the two screens setup of Nintendo 3DS. It asks a bit too much in terms of unforgiving mechanics, especially considering that the two screens gameplay is pretty demanding by itself, but if you like a challenge.
    • Metascore: 72
    • Critic Score 75
    Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller Episode 2 - The Wise Monkey
    As good as the first episode, the game tries different roads and it goes forward with its mature, bloody, strong and maybe a bit too melodramatic take on procedural crime drama. Don't expect the kind of "choice and consequences" dynamics we experienced in Telltale Games, though.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 75
    Ace Combat Assault Horizon: Enhanced Edition
    The game is enjoyable thanks to a very immediate arcade formula and to the good variety of missions in the single player campaign. The competitive multiplayer and co-op are fun, but some may find the overall game experience a little too simplistic and the plot, as well as the soundtrack, does not go beyond a good routine. At this price, however, it's a good deal.
    • Metascore: 74
    • Critic Score 75
    Scribblenauts Unlimited
    While maintaining all the colorful levels and the clever ideas of the Wii U version, Scribblenauts Unlimited on 3DS is in some way tamed by the absence of both the object editor and the Nintendo characters. Still, it’s a little funny game, with lots to explore and to experiment with.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Critic Score 75
    Strike Suit Zero
    Strike Suit Zero has got some issues that keep it from being a must-buy, even for genre aficionados. It still is a pretty good game, with several highs and a good degree of challenge. There's also some replayability, even though it's tampered by the repetitive mission design.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 75
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is frankly a weird game, one that's not so easy to crack: excessively built around an eventually underwhelming concept, you'll never truly hate it, but you won't either love as much as you'd like to.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 75
    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
    Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 unleashes a tornado of ninja adrenaline that will strike the fans with all the power of its original story and artistic glory, even if some persistently unbalanced combat dynamics and roster incoherence will upset someone online. Thus said, not the perfect storm, yet.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 75
    NightSky
    A small, simple, smart and very well made game, perfect for portable gaming, with a really nice atmosphere and good longevity. Nothing particularly new, though.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Critic Score 75
    Under Defeat HD
    The new, HD version of Under Defeat keeps intact the charm of the original game, but fails in bringing a touch of modernity that would have made the game a must-buy for the shoot'em up fans.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 75
    Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
    Thieves in Time slyly manages to broaden the horizons of its traditional platform gameplay adding lots and lots of mini-games, which become proper missions featuring a high number of different game mechanics, all (too) easy to play with and enjoy. More quantity than quality, though.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 75
    ShootMania Storm
    With its old-school mechanics and feel, ShootMania Storm will be welcomed by all those players who are looking for a no-frills jump-and-gun experience. Simple and highly competitive, it might be a bit too hardcore for some, with its strong focus on the e-sport scene.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 75
    Anna: Extended Edition
    In this Extended Edition Dreampainters has given a more professional look to Anna. Now the Italian adventure is also less cryptic and more understandable, although many plot points are still unclear and some puzzles must be solved again with a lot of trial & error.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 75
    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
    An interesting RPG, just like the original Dragon's Dogma. The new content and gameplay tweaks add to the experience, but the underlying faults of the game still stand. It's a beautiful idea and a very promising universe: we definitely look forward to a proper sequel.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Critic Score 75
    Kung Fu Rabbit
    A simple platform game, clearly thought for mobile gaming and not completely suited for a home console. Nevertheless, it is entertaining and the remixed levels are pretty challenging.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 75
    Resident Evil: Revelations
    Something was lost in the transition from the 3DS to the couch: despite a very (and a little too much) faithful conversion, Resident Evil Revelations shows drawbacks and missteps that were absent in the stellar, original release.
    • Metascore: 69
    • Critic Score 70
    Theatrhythm Final Fantasy
    A very good game, with very good gameplay and a great soundtrack. It fits perfectly with the iPhone's (or iPad's) touchscreen. Sadly, the "freemium" aspect of the game is its Achille's heel, as added costs could lead the player to spend three times the whole price of the 3DS version.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Critic Score 70
    Akaneiro: Demon Hunters
    Akaneiro: Demon Hunters is not the best Action-RPG you will play in your life, but it’s still a decent game, if not good one. And it’s free. If you love the genre, chances are you can have fun with its simple gameplay. It’s worth a try.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Critic Score 70
    Special Forces: Team X
    Special Forces: Team X lacks in style, but the precision of its core mechanics is undeniable. It's an interesting third person shooter, able to bring some fun even if it doesn't represent a step forward for the genre. A good effort that shows some flaws and bugs that need to be fixed as soon as possible.
