Brutality, tons of blood and the most violent show ever seen to come exclusively to Wii. Former Clover members prove their talent with this beat'em up portrayed with this comic-book look drawn with black, white and red colors. Modern art with a great sense of humor mixed with a macabre tone, MadWorld can only be blamed for its 6 hours campaign and the little depth it offers as a brawler, compared to the biggest games in the genre.

Rune Factory is no less than a Harvest Moon or a typical JRPG game. Its outstanding graphics are just another way to justify the incredible amount of objects and diary labors that gamers will be able to live after day 1. Don't ask too much to the story though, it's quite simple, but it's still interesting enough to keep players focused on their main focus: earn a living.

Despite its looks, quite similar to the Smackdown franchise, Legends is a very different game. It has all the charm of a huge bunch of timeless stars of the WWE, and it offers a more dynamic and faster gameplay. Unfortunately, it's rather short: its game modes are just a few hours of fun, before relying just in the Exhibition modes.

UFC 2009 Undisputed offers a great game dynamics, with great visuals, an amazing combat system, and many game modes. A great game, but it's too hard to master and, due to the competition itself, it's a game just for hardcore fans.

Better than an excellent game, Far Cry 2 is an excellent idea of a game. Despite of its poor AI and repetitive mission design, Ubisoft's new proposal delivers a solid shooter in a beautifully rendered open-world environment that packs some fun for the not so demanding player. Although better than the previous installments in the series it just comes up short of its and ours expectations. Rental recommended.

One of the last big games planned for PS2, Yakuza 2 is more that that. It's a project that shows many of the values for what Sega has been known in the past: ambition, attention for detail, and will for innovate.

Eternal Sonata's very much the same game that we saw two years ago with a bunch of new goodies and an improved engine system that allowed tri-Crescendo to use once more its colourful world, loaded with strange characters and defying monsters. Its a worth-buying game if you don't have the X360 edition.

A fantastic sequel for a fantastic party game. Scene It? Box Office Smash is bigger than the first one and has new game modes, including online. If you love the movies, you must play this game. And believe us, beating your friends using your knowledge is very funny.

Even with some new touches and a increased difficulty, there are little changes in this sequel, which is probably the big problem here. The game keeps being as charming and enjoyable as the first one, so it´s perfect for those who love LocoRoco, but it lacks the sense of surprise and discovering of the first one.

Shadow Dragon is a very good Strategic RPG in which we'll be able to play the role of an imperial prince who has to save his world. Its a fair game, with good graphics and very much the same gameplay that made Fire Emblem famous. The multiplayer feature is still a work in progress, so perhaps next time.

Dissidia's one of the best games that we've seen on the PSP system, with an outstanding graphic engine and an interesting fight system that assures more than a hundred hours of fun and addictive battles.

The little creatures from Patapon are back and well in this sequel that's basically the same game with a few additions that turns the game into a better and more profound experience for those who love music and strategy. We'll enjoy once more a strange but satisfying world at war, in which our only duty is to protect and serve the little and charismatic Patapon warriors.

A great game, only possible thanks to the XBLA, because otherwise it wouldn´t have been released. Fun, compelling, pretty, with a lot of humour, good graphics, gameplay and sound... a charming game with a great price, recommended for everyone. Unfortunately, it's too short and it does not offer much for replays.

Possibly, the greatest grindhouse game ever. Great sense of humour, a lot of gore and, technically, one of the best games available on the Wii. Unfortunately, it's very short, as always is the case with on-rails shooters. But, overall, it's a unique experience, and an incredible arcade game.

Galactic Adventures is the most welcomed kind of add-on a game like Spore can receive. The mission editor adds a very necessary deepness to the game, and is a inviting tool for everyone feeling creative. Those missions add a sense of variety and richness to the space phase, which results in a more interesting game.

R-Type and R-Type II, two classics coin-ops, are together in R-Type Dimensions. Two graphics modes: original 2-D and all new 3-D in high definition. Game modes can be played as single player or multiplayer missions, either locally or over Xbox LIVE. A good retro pack with reminds the quality of this Shoot'em Up.

Echoes of Time is a useless waste of time in Wii. You better expend your money in the NDS version, because this is just a 1:1 port of the handheld that has nothing remarkable at all. We will have to wait till Crystal Bearers comes out to the scene by the end of this year.

This year's Tiger Woods game is one of the best entries in the series. Fun, easy to play and with a lot of game modes (both online and offline), it has everything you ever wanted in a golf game. It's not so different from last year's game, but it has improved quite a bit.

Like Emerald or Crystal, Pokémon Platinum is more an expansion for Diamond and Pearl than a whole new game. Because of that, the graphics one of the best Nintendo DS RPG are still totally outdated and the gameplay is extremely similar to the first versions of Pokémon. The history mode hasn't changed significantly, although the Distortion World appears as a very different dungeon. The online experience is even richer with the inclusion of Wi-Fi Plaza and the Vs. Recorder system. It's not recommended for the people who bought any of the previous Nintendo DS Pokémon, but if you are not one of them, then this must be your choice.

Two years later, Assassin's Creed tries again to make real those promises from Ubisoft, and prove itself as a better game than it was. The truth is that, despite the Renaissance setting, the vivid locations and the historical landmarks, the new features added don't really improve the sequel: the same repetitive mechanics remain, as the flawed enemy AI, a rough combat system and moments of frustration coming from issues with the camera and the control response in the platform sections. Assassin's Creed II it's still a good game but far from the masterpiece Ubisoft has been promising.

Arctic Edge is one of the best driving games for the PlayStation Portable, despite not being perfect and not having a so-well-looking graphic engine, that's lacking a more in-depth development of the vehicles that the games presents.

Finally comes one of the greatest adventures from Sega exclusively for PlayStation 3. It has been a long way, but the new Yakuza's episode arrives to the Western after Japan launch one year ago.

Its great visuals and the superb OST fall under the feeling that players are just mere spectators of the story.

Insomniac closes the plot of the Future sub-saga with a tittle where most of the time, Ratchet is without Clank, and Clank without Ratchet. Nice visuals, incredibly fun as usual and packed with an arsenal of mass destruction that never disappoints, the only complaints about the game come from the few additions added to the gameplay mechanics -although Clank and his puzzles add a brief and fresh touch-, the same technical aspect we have been watching in PS3 since Tools of Destruction, and the lack of a multiplayer what would have totally fit here.

Quotation forthcoming.

Trine is a very special game. It reminds us of classic games like Another World, Flashback or Prince of Persia, but with a new gameplay based in co-op and great visuals. But it's too short and it has just one co-op game mode for 3 players in LAN, which is no good. If not for that, this would be one of the greatest downloadable games yet.

Beyond the similarities with Kratos saga, it's an intense and frantic hack'n slash with brilliantly artistic graphics. Too short and without innovation, Dante's Inferno has what's most important: fun.

The same Guitar Hero franchise, but now it's time for Pop music.

You, Me & The Cubes is an incredible addictive first-party puzzle that was shown for the first time on London, causing a big impression trough the fans.

Ultimately it does not offer enough incentives to be replayed.

The fourth and second to last chapter of Tales of Monkey Island puts all the pieces of the game in their place for the end of this first season. "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood" is the largest episode thus far, and althought events are not as funny as in the past chapter, the level is, overall, remarkable, being delicious for demanding players. There are many things to improve, like the reuse of content, but TellTale has shown us, once more, that they're great making point'n'click adventures.

Call of Pripyat is a return to the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the one which impressed us the first time with its fascinating setting. The Zone is again that scenario that chill us with its mystery and GSC shows they can listen to the fans and that they understand well what made great the series in first place.

Rise of the Pirate God is the grand season finale of Tales of Monkey Island, and it delivers.

And that's very much what we're going to find on this game, that follows the story of a few children that's set to die in the skies without any reason at all.

The original Adventure of the Belmont's family is back as a brand-new M2 production. We'll find very much the same as in the first Castlevania games that we played two decades ago: plenty of jumps, enemies and a deep and well obtained feeling of isolation underneath the eyes of Dracula.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a huge addition to Borderlands and delivers new enemy types, new weapons, new quests, new vehicles and rises the level cap to 61.

Rock - It's all about it. The latest chapter on Activision's franchise if one of its best so far, with a huge tracklist and plenty of new gameplay styles.

Good adventure, with multiple options and great technical job. Enslaved has some problems, like the simple system combat or the poor plataforms.

Sonic is back, and it feels like 1991's Sonic The Hedgehog. SEGA and Dimps worked together to bring back the best platforming game of the golden era of the character. Impossible jumps, terminal velocities, and a blue shadow that spins and rotates while collecting rings and freeing the animals of the forest held by Dr. Eggman.

It's a good bonus chapter, as it has all the best features from both the original game and The Signal. But it fails to amaze as the previous games did, and its story is not as great as we all wanted it to be. A great game for lovers of the original, but it could have been something more.

Death to Spies: Moment of Truth is the second part of the espionage series produced by 1C Company and is a new return to the adventures of the russian spy Semion Strogov.

It would be one of that titles that everyone remember with special affection if published 20 years ago, but unfortunately it comes at a very weak moment for its genre.

Just as the PC version, Torchlight is a fun experience, with a lot of exploring, looting, combating and side-questing. It lacks a multiplayer coop mode, it has some framerate issues and it's rather short by genre's standards, but it's an interesting game overall. Recommended for hardcore action-RPG fans.

Yakuza 4 is based on an excellent core from previous installments of the franchise. In fact, there are no significant changes to the gameplay, and the focus of SEGA was in the story elements. The idea of introducing four different characters gives the plot a variety of situation and allow us to know what's happening from several point of views. As it was divided into several acts, the game manages to avoid boring us after a few hours, and taking into account its length, that's a good thing. Sadly, the great scenario situated in the red district of Tokyo becomes rubbish when we progress and discover, again, that there is no realism at all and we are playing and absurd tale. At least, there are no zombies... yet.

Despite of being a World of Warcraft clone, RIFT is definetly a good and recommended MMORPG for those looking for a "themepark" experiencie. It is filled with plenty of content, and it is almost bug-free, so Trion has definetly achieved what they were trying to: a good, complete and polite massive online game.

Okamiden is a great Action RPG that preserves the spirit of Okami: Magic Brush, puzzles, sidequests and great characters. They has only one problem: this sequel is too similar than the Amaterasu game.

The Sims Medieval is an interesting hybrid that does a good job mixing classic mechanics from the series with a more structured, objective based game. It may feel a bit limited at the beginning, and diehard Sims fans will miss some fundamental features, but this newfound sense of purpose for a Sims game suits it nicely and opens lost of possibilities for the future.

The 3rd Birthday is different from its elder brothers, being an action-based adventure with few RPG elements. Although the visuals are stunning, the gameplay suffers from a few glitches, along with the metaphysical storyline, that has nothing to do with the original Parasite Eve titles. This said, it's a great buy if you're looking for an interesting game with a beautiful empty-minded protagonist.

The new expansion for Men of War, issued as a stand-alone product, allows us to take part in skirmishes set in World War II. Its control focuses on infantry units and remains flexible and fluid, while improvements in artificial intelligence provide a valuable tactical product. One of the best options nowadays, whether this is the first time you approach a game like this or you are already a veteran of the genre.

Focusing on the Masters rather than in the Ryder Cup, the Tiger Woods franchise delivers where previous instalments failed. The brand new career mode along with some fresh additions to the gameplay make PGA Tour 12 worth every cent to every golf fan.

Patapon 3 is very much the same as what we saw in earlier chapters of the franchise. The rhythm is its most important feature along with the new multiplayer options that've been included on this episode, with not only a competitive edge but also with a cooperative essense that will conquer the die-hard fans of the series. Buy it if you love Patapon, but don't expect something as authentic as its previous chapters.

Red River greatly improves on Dragon Rising, with a few tweaks in the gameplay, better combat and better management of the orders we can give to our squad. But due to a few visual issues and several problems with the AI, this game doesn't reach the level of ARMA. The co-op modes are the best parts of the game.

Section 8: Prejudice has learned too much from the mistakes of its predecessor, but it isn't strong enough to become a clear choice in its genre. The game offers many hours of fun thanks to a fast-paced and fun multiplayer mode, but it still lacks of more depth, more options and a better use its potential. Anyway, it is a good example of FPS.

This (finally) uncensored version is a remake of the first No More Heroes, now in great looking HD. Suda 51 was the team involved in the development of the first game and we love their style, great sense of humor and exaggerated characters. Move is a great substitute for the Wiimote, and the lack of a Nunchuk is not a big deal for performing combos and wrestling attacks. And this time you can also use the DualShock 3 gamepad. The game is almost identical to the original one and we only have a few additions like the dreams (replay old cinematics) and nightmares (replay old battles). We had hoped for a major improvement in the visuals, but only the light effects are noticeably better. If you are looking for a extremely fun and unique action game for your PS3, don't think too much about this, just pick Heroes Paradise and start hunting assassins.

Child of Eden is probably what Rez was meant to be. Regardless of some minor issues, Mizuguchi's new musical shooter on rails is the best of what Kinect has accomplished so far.

Duels of the Planeswalkers is the videogame faster of Magic The Gathering. It's a great product to learn to play and a delight to advanced players. A lot of extra contents and cards ready to show their magical power.

Here comes the definitive version of Street Fighter IV. The jump of Arcade Edition is not as big as the jump from the original version to Super, but it's still a great content to keep exploring the joys of this fighting classic (and a great chance to catch up if you want this on PC.)

Shadows of the Damned is, overall, a fun game, with hilarious moments and great gameplay. It lacks an interesting plot and it resembles its creator's previous works, but it's a worthy experience that will satisfy third-person action lovers.

Here comes the definitive version of Street Fighter IV. The jump of Arcade Edition is not as big as the jump from the original version to Super, but it's still great content to keep exploring the joys of this fighting classic (and a great chance to catch up if you want this on PC.)

Catnip has done a fantastic job taking the original Boulder Dash into a new freshly-made title that looks superb on XBLA. Perfect fit for those looking for a great challenge.

Age of Empires is updated to compete against the latest versions of mobile and social games. The tactic is obvious: provide a free experience supported by optional subscriptions. The basis of the product are of good quality and adequate enough to attract different types of players, but the specifics details concerning expansions packs will define the user acceptance and the future of the bet ultimately. A very good job for now.

A divine game that behaves like a classical painting. Color and design in a game of jumps and nonstop action. Everything is traditional and uneventful, but everything is beautiful. El Shaddai is certainly a different product.

Dead Island is a great game. It has many flaws in its visuals, and the first-person gameplay is hard to understand at first. But Dead Island delivers a big open world RPG game, with 4 player coop and many things to do on the island. Horror movie lovers and RPG lovers should give it a try.

The same game with better graphics. Star Fox 64 3D is a classic remake, fun, but with little added. The online modes are very simple. Fox works in 3D as we expected. No more.

Space Marine is a great first try for Relic in its attempts to move Warhammer 40,000 to a different genre. The combat system is very satisfactory and perfectly executed thanks to great work with animation and sounds effects and the artistic work recreating a Forge World is remarkable. It lacks a bit of audacity and ambition both in campaign and multiplayer, but it's a really promising first entry ina more action focused conception of this universe.

PES 2012 improves in several key aspects and fans will be pleased; but it still has many issues from previous entries. Control-wise, it's faster, but animations lack quality and goalkeepers are worse than ever. The Community mode and the online features are its main achievements.

Whether it's free, this game is still fun. The best puzzles in which Link has faced and always meant to be played in company. The touch screen makes it better. It also has added a lot of memories to help you bring out your tears. Memorable.

After the fantastic Super Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen goes to his more experimental roots to create a really original and engaging hybrid. Part SmashTV, part Rogue, The Binding of Isaac offers hours and hours of entertainment in a highly replayable adventure.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is more frenetic and spectacular than other Ace Combat games, but simple. A new way into the franchise with intense campaign and good multiplayer.

Five hours of play more intense than usual in Human Revolution. The Missing Link forces us to start from scratch to Adam Jensen, with new equipment and extreme situations in the BellTower freighter. All the answers to many questions that left the original game, and pure entertainment. A great DLC.

If you are tired of Tower Defense games, think again, Trendy Entertainment shows there is still a lot of potential in this concept, offering a great mix with ARPG concepts which shines the most in cooperative mode.

Kirby: Mass Attack has very good and innovative ideas. With a full touch control and a lot of levels, the gameplay is very satisfying although many parts fail because they are slow. Colour, fun and extra mini-games in the last great work of the pink character for Nintendo DS.

While its Flash origins are noticeable, the work with the conversion to PS3 game is remarkable. Rocketbirds is a solid 2D action full of good touches, which offers good audiovisual quality, great variety, cool story and plenty of content between the main and the cooperative campaigns.

Brilliant example of a sadly forgotten subgenre. Overkill is a Gun Game with a lot of entertainment to offer, full of personality and terribly fun. It's too easy and could have more content, but it's a great offer for fans of shooting at the screen.

Quotation forthcoming.

Innocent Sin is an interesting remake that offers very much the same as the original PS's version; tons of playability with a lowclass graphic engine the nevertheless is more than enough to enjoy what this JRPG has to give the die-hard fans of the genre.

There is no doubt Modern Warfare 3 is a great FPS on top of its particular and extremely succesful formula. But when it comes to the PC version, it becomes painfully obvious that this engine has gone as far as it could go in the technical and visual department, especially against the new competition.

This new entry in the series has almost the same gameplay and visuals, but it delivers a fun experience, with some new features and an engaging story. It's probably the game that every fan of previous games expected it to be.

Take a good game and make it even better: that's what Cave has done out of DoDonPachi Resurrection Deluxe, a low-cost title that offers an unique gameplay style. Colourful, happy and incredibly outrageous, don't think it twice before buying it.

Anno 2070 is a new and attractive offer for fans of the genre, as it is a clear successor of Anno 1404. But Blue Byte's work still suffers the same defects as always: oversimplification of commercial, diplomatic and military elements. However, this is a high quality title and a perfect choice if you liked any of the Anno series titles. You should not hesitate to colonize the futuristic version of a these great games, although you're not a science fiction fan. And if you've never gone through any Anno-game, you will have a good opportunity to jump into the genre.

Team GrisGris delivers a chilling experience that is not to be found on any other handheld, though its graphical appearance is outdated. Corpse Party is one of those games that you should own if you're looking for a different experience than former 'horror-stories' that we've tried so far on PSP.

A living manual of how to update a classic: getting the core idea and expanding and inventing new situations around it. InXile has done a really good work with this Choplifter HD, making it a really recommended purchase for any fan of the original.

After almost five years of work, Crocodile Entertainment finally launches its debut on PSN. Visually stunning, playable and challenging, Zack Zero is quite an homage to all platfomers from the third and fourth gen with a high level of difficulty, enhanced with a Jump mechanic not always well-implemented. An HD retro-vintage platforming jewel.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is your best chance to replay, or play for the first time in case you hadn't before, three of the best games in videogames' history. It's a very good HD port, the best you can do while being faithful to the original games, and it inclues the original MSX2 games and Peace Walker's online modes.

Aside of being visually remarkable, Oil Rush is a clever and elegant strategy game that combines RTS and Tower Defense mechanics to create an interesting hybrid, not as demanding as a RTS, but more active and dynamic than TD, reaching an attractive and very well executed middle point.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 improves the original in every possible aspect, except for the story. It's a pity that we have such a weak story, as it's a fun game, with many things to do and many surprises in store for RPG lovers. It's also a nice change of direction from Final Fantasy XIII, so we can expect better things for the future of the franchise.

The Darkness II is a fun game. Playing with the Darkness is as fun as it should be, and the plot is simply outstanding. The new cell-shading visuals are perfect for the character, and overall it's a great game. Unfortunately, it's a bit uninspired and rather short.

Fast and furious, Shank 2 is a convincing showcase of violence and toughness that will satisfy action seekers. The main campaign is too short, but the whole package is complete enough.

Capcom has come to PSVita UMVC3 well. The game is almost as large and deep as the major versions, and just as fun. Sony's new console comes with a good fighting game with this crossover.

Golden Abyss is a brilliant adventure that no other portable machine could offer, which is probably the main point of the game. It looks fantastic and controls great, but future Vita developers must tone down their urge to include gimmick controls.

The whole essence of the EA Sports games in PSVita, but with some significant cuts. A good beginning for the sport on the new machine.

Yes, it´s the fourth iteration already of Ninja Gaiden and yes, it´s still a near perfect game that look and controls great in this Vita version. The novelties like the Hero mode add nothing to the winning formula, but it´s still a fantastic Beat'em up.

This game is not a sequel, it has no more about Alan Wake or maintain its gameplay. However, it is fun and frantic, with many weapons and enemies, and some good ideas and lucidity of the engine. Recommended for new players and fans of the writer.

Mesmerizing. Fascinating. Magical. Hipnotic. All these adjectives can be used to describe Dear Esther, a new playable indie experience that escapes from the boundaries of traditional gaming, putting us in the middle of an isolated island where we'll be the main character of our own victorianesque EA Poe's ghost, sadness and loneliness tale.

Great version of the original game, a great example of porting from PS3 to Vita. Looks great, plays well and it's great entertainment for anybody looking for fast and simple tennis games.

An awesome shoot'em up created by an amazing team. It isn't perfect, but provides challenges for also new players and high-level gamers.

Se7en & Still Life meets Miller's Sin City in this comic-esque thriller, more Colour than Noir. New York Crimes/ Yesterday keeps the visual cartoon style, signature of Pendulo Studios, but this time filled with bloody characters and satanic cults. A very good game, it's a shame that greatness is stolen by some puzzles whose way to be resolved are not in the tone that the game is looking for.

Pandora's Tower is one of the most interesing action-RPG games for the Wii, an atractive quest to rescue a beauty and defenceless woman who is cursed. Ganbarion developed a game with hardcore gamers in mind that fits perfect in your collection if you bought Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story.

A nice take of a classic formula. Perfectly executed, true to its roots and made in a way that it feels modern and approachable. The Legend of Grimrock is a joy for lovers of Dungeon Crawlers, but it welcomes any type of player as long as he has patience.

Prototype 2 is a fun game overall. It lacks innovation and its visuals are not the best, but it delivers great fun thanks to an interesting story and to the skills we have.

Xbox 360's version keeps alive all the essence of the PC original game and allows you to enjoy its unique and addictive stile with only a gamepad. Despite its quality, the Hardcore and Creative modes, so loved in the PC version, are missing and even the massive online servers have now been changed for 4 player split screen games, playable up to 8 players on Xbox Live. This new version is the perfect option for new players.

After a long wait, finally we have here the final version of one of the best fighting games ever created. The fifth installment of the series reaches its highest playability thanks to Final Showdown.

Lego Batman 2: DC Heroes is the best Lego game that we've ever seen. Open world, voices, original story and great characters. Simple and fun.

The line between an outstanding game and a very powerful game but without shine is in this Spec Ops. The story of Walker, Adams and Lugo is deep and interesting, as are the situations they will be exposed too. But the multiplayer is not very inspired and other areas have shortcomings.

Just like inject some life into a paint, each location of this Dark Eye: Chain of Satinav is truly a work of art. It's a shame that the level of difficulty is so low in the majority of puzzles, but newcomers to the genre will be pleased. And hardcore adventurers will have their day with some clever puzzles too. A great graphic adventure that could've been a masterpiece of the genre.

This year's edition has significant improvements like multiplayer mode Planechase or improving the making of decks and uses of mana. Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 remains indispensable for the expert Magic player and for the beginner.

A top-tier Strategic RPG no doubt, packed with tons of different quests. It'll take fans of the genre to the long forgotten old-school gameplay style. It's not as deep as other comrades on its field, but it's the best choice to enjoy ourselves in a dusty role playing game for the summer break.

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a sensational piece: as a rhythm game it's challenging an enjoyable, and as a Final Fantasy game it's truly amazing, much more than being just a game created to celebrate the 25th aniversary of the franchise. For sure, one of the greatest spin-offs ever made.

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise is an interesting rhythm title for the Wii and a true sequel to the Nintendo DS game. Using only two buttom you will enjoy with its japanese stylish minigames. Fun even when you are not playing the game.

A narrative triumph, The Secret World is fascinating and a daring attempt to improve story, character and dialogue for MMOs. However, Funcom will need to show they really can maintain interest with the monthly updates if they want the suscription model to suceed for this game. If they do, players are up for a really good trip.

Super Mario means high quality. This time the character turns to the coins and opens some features. But instead, Nintendo EAD brings a title too continuist and uninspired. Perfect but no surprises.

Remember that monologue of Elwood Blues in Blues Brothers 2000 about the music? Sound Shapes is that in the form of a playable musical experience like no other. Music is not only the soul of this indie title for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, but the spine too in the aspect of a classic vintage 2D platform experience with a distinctive and unique visual styles that even carry within it a complete level & music editor, which only would have been needed a longer Campaign Mode.

Connected Career, new Infinity Engine for new physics and Madden classic gameplay make Madden NFL 13 best than his predecessors.

Joe Danger 2: The Movie has more content and more variety of situations, but isn't so frenetic than his predecessor. Good visuals and fun multiplayer, but local only.

War of the Roses is a fresh and addictive title that uses a setting rarely exploited in the genre. Except some modification for FPS and the obvious similarity to Mount & Blade, there aren't so many games that have explored the existing market for this combination of setting and genre. The result is more than good and any lover of the Middle Ages will find himself spending too many hours in front of the screen, while handling his sword and putting down enemies with arrows.

The Walking Dead Episode 4: Around Every Corner is fun and has more action than other episodes, but fewer dramatic decisions and slow plot. Only the end offers gorgeous situations like Episode 3.

Last year Skylanders was the best idea from Activision. Now not only have they increased the figures, Giants, also this magic universe of the game, the challenges, the monsters, the minigames, the powers ... 1 or 2 players, if they are children, they will want to play with the portal.

It may not be a perfect port of the PS3 version, nobody should reasonably expect that, and it suffers from the lack of some effects, jaggies, and a reduced volume of traffic, but you can't underestimate the small wonder that is having Most Wanted running flawlessly on a handheld. Criterion has done a great job making sure the core of the experience remains untouched, showing that there is a still a lot of untapped potential for Vita.

A really good take on multiplayer combat. Fun and brutal, Chivalry is a great option if you are tired of shooting bullets.

Magic. That is what this Miranda Goshawk's 200 years old Book of Spell brings every time we turn a page of Wonderbook. The level of interaction between Move, the book and what we see on the screen is probably the highest Sony has achieved in the field of Augmented Reality. Maybe it's short, very easy on its level of difficulty and simple in its gameplay, but it's also a very captivating experience.

Sonic runs at full speed, now in airplanes and boats. Many different circuits and many memories can be found in this second Mario Kart from Sega. Jet Set Radio, Panzer Dragoon, Golden Axe, Samba de Amigo... a great game with a deep sense nostalgia and a nice multiplayer.

Battle Royale has good roster, great netcode and online multiplayer with accessible and fun gameplay. But has mechanics that are too simple and some overpowered characters and attacks.

The GamePad introduces a fifth player, career map, rear-view mirror ... This edition of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed is the most complete and with possibilities for a fun title that stands out this year and it assembles all of Sega's stars.

Nintendo Land tries to evolve Wii Sports with a mini games compilation based on well-known franchises and using the Wii U GamePad in a creative way. It's not Mario Party, but it works as party game and a unique experience in the console line-up.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star has good exploration, platforms and RPG combat in a charm world. Effective gameplay, but too simple combat and some issues in level design.

Dragonborn is the largest Skyrim DLC. The return to Morrowind is a fantastic journey where we will face a blood brother and the dragons are absolute protagonists of the action.

We return to the fantastic world created in The Book of Unwritten Tales with the prequel to a great adventure. With less strength than its predecessor but just as magical and highly recommended.

Anarchy Reigns has simple but effective gameplay and combo mechanics. Great online beat'em up full of online modes. Frantic and fun, but has a repetitive and too-short single-player campaign.

One year after its appearance on consoles, Ace Combat Assault Horizon comes back on PC with the same intensity, pace and action, but its weaknesses are still there.

Crysis 3 is the best of its species. Technology and impressive graphics. But it isn't a surprise if you've played the previous game, and this is quite short. The bow is fantastic and the new New York setting too, but we wanted a more open and unexpected adventure.
