    BioShock Infinite is state of the of art. Irrational Games exceeds expectations and revolutionizes the FPS genre with an exceptionally outstanding story and gameplay. Definitely one of the best games of the generation.

    A magical, unforgettable voyage awaits us in Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. This title brings back the essence of the JPRG genre, featuring great audiovisual beauty and a complex classic-flavored battle-system.

    Revengeance is one of the most surprising hack'n'slash titles of this generation. Years ago, nobody would have imagined a game like this within the franchise, and Platinum Games is giving us everything we wanted with it.

    Atlus goes the extra mile with an exceptional remake that is full of new features. Persona 4 Golden will captivate you from the very beginning, offering not only a very addictive experience, but also a very entertaining one, with the perfect combination of role-playing and social simulation. Both aspects coexist in perfect harmony, making this game one of Vita's must have titles.

    Those who enjoyed Dishonored's gameplay mechanics and are out for a challenge will be bound to try Dunwall City Trials. Its high difficulty, the urge to beat other players' scores and its low price make this DLC a very tempting option for those who deem themselves fans of Arkane Studios.

    Lara Croft has returned and she's not looking back, but this time she will be displaying all the features we are used to seeing in modern action and adventure games. This reboot is as big as the original Tomb Raider was back in the day, but with a distinct personality, something essential if she wants to become a staple within the same genre she dominated for years.
    • Metascore: 86

    EA and DICE say goodbye to Battlefield 3 with an excellent DLC that won't disappoint. The quality of this expansion is on par with the previous ones, serving as another good excuse to buy the Premium pack. Capture the Flag is its main appeal, and we will enjoy it throughout 4 whole new maps. We also have the dirtbike at our disposal, which will prove very useful in our high-speed skirmishes.

    The rebirth of DmC gives it an impressive new life. Ninja Theory latest title, based on the Devil May Cry franchise, convinces us from the very beginning, and offers the public a game that delivers quality in almost every aspect. Becoming a worthy successor to everything that made DmC what it is, this title receives the baton with the respect and the hard work necessary to create such a game.

    Soul Sacrifice is that great game that PlayStation Vita needed. Keiji Inafune's new game offers a rich universe, an exciting story, entertaining gameplay and an epic soundtrack.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 87
    Dead Space 3 brings back the most epic action in the battle against the terrifying necromorphs. Its increased dynamism contrasts with a somehow lessened fear effect, but nonetheless the setting quality of the franchise is maintained, and its essence preserved. Besides, co-op mode turns out to be a very interesting option and sufficiently original as to experience the entire game through a different point of view.
    • Metascore: 82

    Metro: Last Light makes up for the sins of its predecessor, showing a balanced and complete result in all regards. The mixture of stealth and action helps to increase the diversity of possibilities, expanding our gameplay experience. Overall, the most striking feature lies in its artistic aspect, which greatly empowers the storytelling.
    • Metascore: 78
    • Critic Score 86
    One of the best fighting games during these last moments of the present console generation. The DC universe atmosphere adds to a very nice play style, creating a product of a very high quality. Its only shortcomings are subpar graphics and some minor unbalances between characters, but otherwise it's a title every fan of the genre should try.
    • Metascore: 80
    • Critic Score 86
    A game with its own character, appealing and original. Ubisoft Montreal moves a step forward within the downloadable content industry. They offer a product full of fun and action that also exudes quality at a very affordable and competitive price.

    • Critic Score 85
    This trip to Kratos's past brings us an adventure that is packed with the better virtues of the God of War franchise. Spectacular visuals, a dynamic experience, a well-delivered online mode and a surprisingly powerful battle system, are the main features of this last installment of the saga. Nonetheless, its Achilles heel is the not so appealing storyline, which makes gameplay and audiovisuals the main assets God of War: Ascension has at its disposal.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 85
    Jump into the fray between the vampires and the Dawnguard with this expansion pack. Dawnguard has everything you can ask for in such a DLC; a good plot and many many hours of playable content. Anyone who enjoyed "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" shouldn't pass up the opportunity of playing this expansion.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 83
    Crysis 3 follows the trail of its predecessor to the letter. This means that we will again be experiencing the most astounding audiovisual experience, which, alongside its gameplay, will constitute the main feature of this next-gen first person shooter. The experience may not be very innovative, and the plot may not be very exciting, but it remains on the top of the list of its genre regarding quality.
    • Metascore: 71
    • Critic Score 83
    The first DMC paid DLC brings us into Vergil's dark world, delving into his story. The DLC is quite short, and lacks the action of the original. Even though the fans of the saga can be interested in knowing the hidden background of Dante's twin brother, it strikes us as a bit overpriced.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 82
    Ubisoft goes the extra mile with "The Tyranny of King Washington", and brings us a DLC with personality. The virtues we could see in Assassin's Creed III are maintained and added to those "The Tyranny" possesses, offering a new gameplay within a setting that is both original and appealing.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Critic Score 82
    The Tyranny of King Washington ends with an episode that includes all the characteristics included in the previous chapters. 'The Bear Power' is featured as the last mystical ability of the Ratonhnhaké:ton, dramatically changing the play style we could see in previous Assassin's Creed games.
    • Metascore: 77
    • Critic Score 81
    Represents the perfect opportunity to relive the most important moments in the last arc of the saga. This title tries to bring back some of the past virtues that were nowhere to be found in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, like the adventuring component. On the other hand, the battle system strikes us as maybe too simplistic and restrictive, more so given the trajectory of Masashi Kishimoto's work within the realm of videogames.

    A revised version of the famous Team Ninja portable fighting game brings us all that was good in the desktop version. This handheld game comes with a new game mode which makes good use of the touchscreen and its cross-platform online with PlayStation 3 manages to multiply our range of opponents by two, thus increasing the amount of hours we'll spend playing it.
    • Metascore: 75
    • Critic Score 80
    Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is a very good adventure game that sports equal amounts of stealth, action, exploration and platforms, creating a unique experience. The amusing aesthetics and the humorous dialogue that were the trademark of the original trilogy are present as well, which, in addition to the aforementioned characteristics, lead us to say that this is a good choice for our portable consoles.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 80
    Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward comes with a good plot and many surprise twists, in a storyline influenced by our choices that will lead to 24 different endings. With puzzles that will be a challenge for any player, and belonging to a not-too-common genre, Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward will constitute a unique experience.
    • Metascore: 79
    • Critic Score 80
    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is an expansion with no great aspirations, but that sports all the necessary elements to be desirable by all who played the original game. New weapons, enemies and environments will renew our interest in this classic-gameplay title.

    Ryu Hayabusa is back in PlayStation Vita, wielding his legendary Dragon sword to unleash a ninja-action storm on our 5" screens. This game is a good option for those who like action games, although some technical shortcomings can hinder the experience, and the difference between this and the PS3 version is very narrow.

    Capcom knows how to profit from their former glories. With Darkstalkers Resurrection, we will get two games for the price of one, at a very affordable 14.99€. Its main feature is the GGPO system, which ensures a quality online experience, even giving us the chance to upload our best matches to YouTube. Other than that, there are no more novelties, at least regarding the solo campaign.
    • Metascore: 66

    Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is, without a doubt, what the original game should have been in the first place. The AI and battle systems have been nicely revamped, and it also includes all the DLCs that have been released since the original Ninja Gaiden 3 came out. Nonetheless, the absence of Tomonobu Itagaki will still be quite evident for those who faced the extreme difficulty of the first and second titles.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 75
    Techland has managed to conquer its shortcomings in order to offer us a game that lives up to expectations. Trying to maintain the same line while also implementing some changes in the game options, Dead Island: Riptide represents one of the best titles within the zombie genre for PlayStation 3.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 73
    With some personality, a sense of humor and a new co-op campaign, Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken presents an offer for the Playstation Vita that is hard to beat. When compared to the PlayStation 3 version, the new features are scarce and do not make a real different, but the fact that we can carry around this adventure and its fair price can very well justify its purchase.
    • Metascore: 69

    If you have the soul of an interior designer, then it's time for you to celebrate. Hearthfire will give you hours and hours of building your perfect home with all its new features. On the other hand, this DLC does not include any plot related content, so if the only thing you seek is adventure, this DLC is not suited for you.
