The Darkside Chronicles is a nice improvement over the previous game, adding length and depth to a solid on-rails shooting experience. Story and characters are really outdated though, and aiming through the Remote is a real pain at times.

Secret Files 2 gives to the player 20+ hours of fun adventure gameplay and brilliant puzzles. And more than this it can introduce a few of innovative aspects to the genre that the veterans will love.

Secret Files 2 gives to the player 20+ hours of fun adventure gameplay and brilliant puzzles. And more than this it can introduce a few of innovative aspects to the genre that the veterans will love.

Overlord 2 is a giant leap from the first episode thanks to the huge work made by Triumph to fix all the flaws. Various and well devised, Overlord 2 is a guilty pleasure for all the guys who like to be over cynical in a game, and it's impossible not to mention its stunning visuals.

A fighting game with a classic, solid gameplay, a cast of forty characters, various modes of play and several rankings and customization. Tekken 6 on PlayStation Portable is probably the best version of this game.

Given the hardware limitations, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is quite a bit of a miracle. In spite of a few technical flaws and some repetitive quests this new installment in the franchise is a brilliant game, deep and well done, filled with charming backgrounds and characters. However, its major strength is also a weakness: the main plot will look meaningless to whoever isn't familiar with the series. But to fans of Kingdom Hearts this is an absolutely must-have.

Point Lookout represents the best expansion for Fallout 3: deep and wide, the new contents remind the original formula of the game, based on exploration and free choices with a strong and distinctive environment.

Chaos Rising is the perfect expansion: everything you can expect from an add-on is there. A good single player with a story that follows Dawn of War II and several new things in the multiplayer starting from the new faction, the Chaos. The only negative aspect of the game is that the newcomers may feel it too complex, and only those who have played Dawn of War II will have the complete experience.

Tales of Monkey Ep. 3 - Lair of the Leviathan is the best, funnest episode since the beginning of the series. Despite a lack of challenge, there are so many ideas, hilarious characters and puzzle for a small price that's impossible not to suggest to buy it.

Episode 5 is a good season finale for Tales of Monkey Island. It closes the story arch while providing good fun and some nice, maybe too easy to solve puzzles.

Picross 3D is one of the best puzzle games on the DS, but the third dimension didn't give a concrete benefit over the overall superior 2d experience.

With his faithful reproduction not only of a graphic style, but of the overall spirit of the original 2D action game, Mega Man 10 stands as an example of a constructive approach to the vintage taste in videogaming. More than just a tribute, this game is a good new episode of the series and a very hard and exciting challenge.

Samurai Warriors 3 is a massive game, rich with contents and stuff. It is also a visually impressive title and in spite of a repetitive gameplay it is fun and enjoyable. Deep customization, multiple options and game modes, nifty multiplayer support: this 3D beat'em-up is certainly not a game which can appeal everyone.

Raskulls is a bit of everything, from a platform to a racing game, quoting a lot of classic games with a fresh and cool appeal. It has a good multiplayer too.

Stylish, fun and very rich in content. The combat system works well enough, and the special abilities allow us to add some variety to our offensive. Once we reach a certain level, things begin to be confusing due to the large number of enemies, and the controls don't always react as we could expect. However, this is an excellent game for its price and should not be missed.

Exploration, puzzles and battles are the main points of a Zelda-style action-adventure. Sacred Odyssey manages to succeed at least in the puzzles, works well with the exploration and results a little flat in combat. Overall, we're far away from Zelda but this is a good action-adventure for the iPhone.

De Blob 2 is not just a better game than its predecessor, it's also a very competent platform game with many appealing elements for both the young and the experienced audience.

Stacking is a little pearl, a game so well-crafted you won't be able to put it down. One of the best pieces of software you can buy on XBLA and PSN if you don't mind using your brains more than your reflexes.

Even if it's possibly the least impressive showcase for the Nintendo 3DS technology, Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is a great turn-based strategy game, and definitely one of the best titles in the whole launch line-up.

Section 8: Prejudice blows away most of the flaws of the first episode thanks to a good direction, a solid gameplay and a rich online multiplayer. Recommended.

Dead or Alive: Dimensions is a really good game and a great treat for the fans of the series; while it doesn't offer anything truly new, the DoA combat system and the high production values will please many 3DS players.

Another hybrid gameplay form Foursaken, in some way similar to the first chapter but also different enough to represent something new, Bug Heroes Quest is a good action-RPG based on a twin stick style. Despite some flaws in controls and visuals, an optimal choice at this price.

Infinity Field is a pleasant surprise, a very good clone of Geometry Wars, indeed. The two game modes included provide hours of entertainment, and the developers also did a great job with controls and graphics. Definitely a very, very nice twin analog shooter for a bargain price.

Assault Horizon is a good evolution of the Ace Combat series, it retains some typical flaws but balance those with a good integration of new elements as reguards contents and technical progress. The inclusion of the helicotper is a good diversion and the all new multiplayer section adds a good amount of gameplay.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten could be considered, by a new player, a traditional RPG, without any innovation; however, the older fans will appreciate the new setting and characters, and also the interesting storyline. Not a masterpiece so, but neverthless could be a good purchase for all the fans.

Two years has passed since Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 has partly solved the problems that plagued the first attempt of Square Enix, with an interesting "monster collecting" part and a less linear gameplay. It's a shame that the story and character development are not as good as the original title.

The Darkness II is a frantic shooter with a great freedom to decide how to kill your enemy using the Darkness' powers, your weapons or the tentacles. The real problems are in the lack of a deep plot as the first Darkness and in the shortness of the single player campaign.

A compelling mini-game compilation with the right dose of funny things to do. More than this it uses all the features of the PlayStation Vita and it's completely free.

With its cartoon-like design and brilliant gameplay, Tongue Tied! is a delightful platform game, with just a few control issues and some frustrating moments.

Due to the new characters and items, Tobe & Friends is an amazing update of the original Hookshot Escape, and one of the best vertical scrolling platformers in the App Store.

Warlock - Master of the Arcane is a good turn-based strategy game which is lacking only multiplayer modes. It's a modern Master of Magic and a solid and lengthy game.

Assassin's Creed Recollection was an unexpected surprise. Thanks to its mix of strategy and time-based experience, the game offers innovative mechanics that will make happy both the fans of Ezio Auditore and the TCG enthusiasts.

Inferno+ is an excellent twin analog shooter, it's got a solid gameplay and very responsive and accurate touch controls. What a pity it's a bit too easy at medium difficulty.

Darkside is an excellent Super Stardust HD clone for iOS devices. The game offers three modes, some very nice graphics, a solid gameplay and accurate touch controls.

Evocative and fascinating, The Last Express is a great and absorbing adventure with shamefully awful controls.

The Sega style is clearly visible in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, both graphically and gameplay-wise, which stands as a solid example of arcade kart racing. Even with some imperfections in the power-up organization and the track design this remains maybe the best choice among the Mario Kart adversaries.

Polished aesthetics, good writing and a beautiful, decadent world presented with a mix of light humor and pessimism, raise Primordia from the multitude of adventures out there.

Table Top Racing is a great arcade racing game, very challenging and also packed with some awesome, console-like graphics.

Despite the interesting and open level design, Tomb Raider is more akin to the average action adventure than you would think. An overall linear experience, with plenty of cinematic sequences and over the top roller-coaster rides that falls somehow short of expectations when it comes to the survival matter.

Two amazing classics fighting game that worth the (low) price. A great resurrection for the Darkstalkers franchise now with excellent online features.

Not only a simple add on, especially made for high level players, Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria expands the gameplay of the game, fixing issues and adding new classes and underground reigns.

Cities XL is a fresh and innovative game. It is graphically beautiful and full of interesting features that set it to the top of the genre. Unfortunately there are some issues with the online.

Even if new gameplay elements may be few to be noticed at first glance, Tekken 6 is probably a must buy for hardcore fans of the saga. The underwhelming single player campaign, the just good graphics are drawbacks in the face of the still fun and compelling beat'em up mechanics.

When the original game is so good, can a Director’s Cut spoil the experience? We still don’t know, because Broken Sword is a very solid Director’s Cut of an awesome Graphic Adventure. Developers could have gone the extra mile to smooth some rough edges off, but even so the mission is completely accomplished.

Developers could have gone the extra mile to smooth some rough edges off, but even so the mission is completely accomplished.

Pikmin is a little gem that puts you in touch with the power, the beauty and the cruelty of the Nature in a wonderful way. Just don't mind if you already played the game on Gamecube.

Like The Legend, just better thanks to loads of new contents and a more refined balance.

Yakuza 3 is a good game, it depicts Japan as no one game has done before, but its mechanics and its visuals sometimes are too old school, like the game was a blast from the past. But its biggest flaw is the pace, the game starts a little bit slow and the continuous random combats in the city could be a little bit tedious.

Rabbids go Home is a simple, yet original and very enjoyable action game, full of moments that are gonna make you laugh out loud. In short terms, it's a lot of fun.

Reality is very expensive in this real warfare simulator from Bohemia Interactive. The game is very tough and difficult to manage but the campaign is very well devised, full of twists and turns, but its impossible not to mention the huge amounts of glitches and bugs here and there.

Rocket Riot delivers hours of fun, some good ideas and a lot of options. A must try and, in case you buy it, a cool way to have some fast paced matches with friends.

Despite a modest visual, Majesty 2 - The Fantasy Kingdom grants hours of gameplay and a fun multiplayer.

A Twist of Fate closes the trilogy maintaining the good quality level of the whole series. There are no innovations but a nice plot, visual and puzzles.

The '80 are back in action with another original work by Capcom: Dark Void Zero is a brilliant but short platform adventure similar to masterpieces like Metroid and Castlevania.

A pleasant and funny game with old gameplay mechanic is always welcome in a console lineup, especially when we talk about Wii-Ware and a low price title like Rage of Gladiator, recommend to all the old Punch Out fans and many others.

DodoGo! is a very big surprise for DsiWare. A game where an egg it's the most important thing in the world, a puzzle where a Dodo it's your best friend. 800 Dsi point are well spent for one of the best game of the DSiWare.

Maybe Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom will not win the award for the best visual achievement of the year, but it's a great (and very long) action adventure game, fully focused on environmental puzzles, unfortunately with just a simple combat system and a lot of necessary but annoying backtracking plagued by a strange respawn system.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World lends itself to different interpretations: if you're a novice gamer, forget this title since it's way too hard and frustrating for actual standards; but if you're thirty years old or more, you'll enjoy Scott's battle though its failures (the lack of an online multiplayer mode) and weaknesses.

Carcassonne is an amazing classic board game and this version for iPhone is his successfully translation. A solid online multiplayer, gameplay very close to the original game and a single player mode make it a valuable purchase.

Eternal Legacy brings a combat system which is classic and works well, impressive graphics and a very dense and long story. Of course it would have been better with a more original and genuine style, as well as a major depth of the characters and a deeper plot. But for just 5€ iPhone users can enjoy a game which is, together with Chaos Rings, one of the best JRPG's on the App Store.

Another zombie game, another great tower defense. The videogames available on the App Store are becoming perhaps a bit monothematic, but it would be absurd to worry about these issues when someone publishes a gem like Zombie Smash!. This game is a blast, don't miss it.

There are no doubts that Gravity Hook HD is worth every cent you spent. Thanks to its tactile mechanics, online leaderboards and a hit-and-run gameplay, the new game from Adam Atomic is simply perfect on iPhone and iPod Touch, surprisingly better suited on the iDevices than Canabalt. Maybe a few more unlockable stuff would have been really welcomed.

With its psychedelic vector-like graphics, Spirit can easily be confused as a Geometry Wars clone. Instead, the game is an original and satisfying arena shooter: creating portals is a great and amusing option, but while proceeding through the levels, the player will probably realize that it doesn't suits good on the iPhone.

A French Ninja is an new character for a videogame, but Join Francois is really something special for this crazy game, with his incredible jump ability and his funny animations. To be rescued by the helicopter, he has to jump thru the roofs, escape from enemies and also from a lot of different obstacles. Urban Ninja is a really fun game, and the low price it's another reason to buy it.

Pix'n Love Rush is a delight for ears and eyes, a truly sensory experience. Unfortunately, the two current game modes are short and sleazy, unable to hold the player's attention. We miss the lack of a true Story Mode and the game doesn't succeed in recreating the same alchemy between audiovisual experience and addictive gameplay that we have seen in titles like Geometry Wars.

Beyond good & Evil is far from being a true masterpiece in gaming history, but it's still a really good game that, back then, deserved way more commercial success that it actually got.

Fight Night Champion delivers an excellent boxing experience, with a lot of moves you can perform by simply touching the screen, twenty champions to choose from and a deep, solid gameplay. The game lacks an online multiplayer mode, however, and the controls sometime don't work as they should do.

Hunters: Episode One delivers a solid gameplay, lots of armors and weapons, a huge number of missions (new ones come every twelve hours) and some nice detailed graphics. If you like turn based strategy games, don't miss this one.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters confirms all the strengths of the series, with accurate controls (thanks to the MotionPlus attachment) and lots of game modes.

Gears is a fun psychedelic puzzle game; it won't become a best seller, but lovers of the genre should buy it without hesitation.

Pride of Nations is a deep turn-based strategy game where the player can determine every aspect of a nation. Is a good game, but not for everyone.

For its price, Feed Me Oil is a great package: it boosts solid puzzles, nice graphics and a good amount of content. It doesn't break any new ground and it has some flaws, but fans of the genre should definitely pick this up.

Fun, short and crazy hard but not frustrating. VVVVVV is just a nice, very well design piece of indie game.

Rock of Ages rocks! It's a fantastic game with stunning graphics!

More than ten years later, MDK2 still is a fun and compelling third person adventure-shooter. The porting is well done and the price, 15 euros, is high but justified by the offer overall.

With its great characters, solid plot, well written dialogues and interesting puzzles, Deception is probably one of the best point and click adventures of the year. Maybe the only real complaint is the lack of graphics coherence.

Skylanders is not your typical depressing teen game; on the contrary is a competent and sometimes surprising project, full of quality and with some real production value. But the success of the game really needs a huge marketing behind, and that's what Activision really needs to do now.

Riptide GP is indeed an excellent arcade racer. The game comes with three modes, twelve tracks, six vehicles and three different difficulty levels, so it'll keep you entertained for a long time. What a pity there's no multiplayer.

Aquaria on the iPad retains the charm of the original game and remains a must buy despite the not perfect conversion of controls.

PixelJunk SideScroller delivers and intense, exciting shoot'em-up experience. It's so stylish in everything it does and it's definitely a game fans of the genre can't miss.

Act of Fury: Kraine's Revenge is a pleasant alternative to the classic top-down shoot 'em ups, with great 2D graphics and a steep difficulty curve.

Mighty Switch Force is an excellent download: it is intelligent and addictive, and it features some of the most engaging puzzles ever seen. Unfortunately, it is a little too brief for our tastes, but with its small price it'd be a shame not to play it nonetheless.

Lumi could be a masterpiece, one of the best platform for iOS devices, thanks to the great level design and the immediate gameplay; however, it's too short and it can be finished in about 2 hours.

Run Roo Run is a very fun game, despite its disarming simplicity. Some challenges are really trivial and their resolution doesn't take away more than a handful of seconds, but nonetheless you'll want to play again and again.

Revelations is a great technical achievement on the 3DS, and a competent and enjoyable product overall. It's a shame that the unacceptable enemy AI makes the experience much less thrilling that what could have been; but given the fact that it's on a portable console, you can easily forgive Capcom once more.

PixelJunk Eden delivers an engaging and meaningful experience, immersing you in an alternate reality while jumping from plant to plant, titillated by music and colors, progressively gaining more control over the inertial gameplay. If Q-Games' series always intrigued you, this is certainly an excellent opportunity to make its acquaintance.

Paper Monsters comes with a good number of levels, two extra modes, a decent level design and nice graphics. If you like platform games you might like this one.

DoDonPachi Blissful Death is a great vertical shooter, one of the best on the App Store. It lacks the variety of DoDonPachi Resurrection, but still delivers a solid, hardcore gameplay.

American Nightmare is a good comeback for our favourite writer. It's a bit too small and its structure could use some more variety. But, given the price of admittance and the sheer quality of its elements, it's well worth playing.

FIFA series comes on Vita maintaining the same gameplay, graphics and options of the home version. The game mixes the gameplay of FIFA 11 and FIFA 12, getting a good result. So the title remain the number one football game on all formats and if you love football you can not miss this game.

It is an original game, full of adrenaline and pretty enjoyable. The new control system is perfect and the point of view remembers sometimes Mirrors's Edge.

Pandora's Tower is some kind of a perfect example of what a small Japanese developer should do: a niche product with many interesting qualities and some kind of innovation to a starving genre. Some control issues and a disappointing graphical engine are the lows of an overall recommended game.

Beyond the mediocre graphics, Swordigo's got a lot of content: it's fun, challenging and enjoyable. A very nice action platform with some RPG elements, definitely.

American Nightmare is a good comeback for our favourite writer. It's a bit too small and its structure could use some more variety. But, given the price of admittance and the sheer quality of its elements, it's well worth playing.

Great Big War Game comes with a fifty missions single player campaign and some interesting extra game modes that will keep you entertained for dozens of hours. It's a "more of the same", but a good one.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the ultimate Transformers game fans were waiting for. It is not lacking issues, such as a mediocre texturing work and a somewhat lackluster multiplayer mode, but it is an excellent shooter as a whole.

The Dark Knight Rises is a solid action game, with plenty of missions and a nice open-world map to explore. Camera and controls don't always work as they should, but it's a minor shortcoming.

FIFA 13 on mobile devices is not a major improvement over the previous version, and there are some serious issues on the look and size of the players. But the new trick system and the much welcome online mode are good news for fans, and FIFA 13 is still the best football game on iOS and Android.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a limited but refined multiplayer experience. The mix of simulation and arcade elements creates a fresh and compelling experience for those who live to conquer medieval battlefields.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a hardcore platformer made with love, but with some flaws. It isn't perfect, but it worth the price.

Into the Dead breathes some fresh air into the endless run genre, delivering an atmospheric, intense and nonetheless free experience for your iOS devices.

Heroes of Order & Chaos successfully catches the essence of the best MOBA games, delivering a deep, challenging experience for all the fans of this genre.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the best truck simulation on the market. Buy it if you love the kings of the road.

Eador. Masters of the Broken World is Eador: Genesis with 3d graphics and a buggy multiplayer.

Trine is the game you didn't expect. Funny, fast and simple to play. It has several problems, in particular with the controls, but it's something original that we suggest to all players. More than anything else, it is the perfect game to play this summer with some friends.

Not as good has the first two masterpieces, the game created by Telltale is definitely challenging and funny, very respectful of the legacy of Guybrush and his friends. The new 3D visuals are good and punchlines, jokes and puzzles are well devised and let you enter smoothly in the world of LeChuck.

Block Breaker 3 Unlimited comes with a hundred levels, several modes, a classic gameplay and some nice, colorful graphics. The touch controls are not accurate as they should be, but the tilt ones work pretty good. A very fun and addicting arcade game, definitely.

If you already tried the freeware version of Super Crate Box, then you know how fast, immediate and fun this game is. You can really play for hours and never get bored, trying to unlock all the weapons and all the game modes.

An odd mix between adventure, FPS and platform, with outstanding atmosphere. Graphics are not alway on par with the rest.

Frisbee Forever 2 is a great action game, packed with a lot of levels, accurate touch controls and some very nice graphics and sound.

Although a bit late, Street Fighter X Tekken for PlayStation Vita is a solid beat'em-up, packed with lots of content. You can play online with PS3 owners, and that's great, though there are a few technical shortcomings here and there.

Quotation forthcoming.

Beaterator is not a game but a real sound sequencer which allows us to create music using the hundreds of loops available or creating new ones with complete freedom. A must for all the music composers out there.

Even on the Wii, Ghostbusters is a solid action game: in particular, the developers did a good job creating visuals and controls specifically suited for Nintendo's hardware. Aside from a disappointing multiplayer mode, this is a game every Ghostbusters fan will enjoy.

Ghostbusters: The Videogame is not one of those crappy tie-ins which try to sell a franchise without respecting its own identity. It is instead a true sequel to the original movies, flawed so weakly that the gameplay is unaffected. Ghostbusters are back and not just fans will love this awesome action-game.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a weird game. It is just a common action-game boosted by a pivotal feature about realistic demolitions which makes it more funny and intriguing than your average game despite its mediocre visuals and sounds. An excellent and deep multiplayer mode gives Guerrilla the edge. Recommended to whoever needs a game where everything - really everything - can be destroyed to bits.

Tales of Vesperia actually is one of the best available jrpg on Xbox 360. Its combat system is an almost perfect mix between action and strategy and its graphics are one the best examples of contemporary cell shading. The problem is that the game hasn't been localized in Italian and the ones not familiar with English won't be able to fully enjoy Tales of Vesperia's characters and story.

One of the best and most compelling Xbox 360 Jrpg's, mostly due to its fun and deep real time combat system. Story telling and dialogues could be better, and graphical presentation has its drawbacks, but all in all this is one of the best next gen efforts from Square Enix.

Our advice is to try it, to set the difficulty level on the highest setting, and ask yourself if the commitment needed to enjoy it and the depth on offer are what you really look for in a driving game; if the answer is yes, then you should really give Race Pro a chance.

Resistance: Retribution is a solid third person shooter with nice gameplay, a good number of weapons and lots of levels to complete. It's far from a perfect game, the controls are slow and often unresponsive (the d-pad, in particular), but you'll probably enjoy it if you like the genre.

Nikopol has a great storyline, full of twists and turns and very faithful to the style and the art of Enki Bilal. Unfortunately as the biggest part of all the graphic adventures there's no replay value, and this problem is particularly important because the game is a little bit short.

Drakensang is a good roleplaying game: classic style, deep and with a nice plot. It has several problems with the management of the party but it's a surprise for those searching for an interesting game with a low price.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a true sequel of Challenge of the Warlords and it has only a big problem: the developer really can't add any major element to the already perfect gameplay. It's an addictive game with an over the top sense of fun.

Men of War is a strategy game for the fans of the genre and the Second World War in its whole. Several problems in the gameplay on the other hand can ruin the game experience and will oblige the more casual gamers to uninstall the game. But who will try to go on with the game will find a wonderful and tough game able to satisfy him.

A Boy and His Blob takes a little for meshing and almost all the first "world" slips away without any particular emotion. The eighty playable stages make up for the lack of alternative modes to the main one, that's deliberately simple and immediate: the boy wakes up, calls his friend blob and runs every time for a new adventure.

If you are looking for a different MMO, or your are tired of fantasy realms, Eve online is the perfect choice to make. This expansion adds a lot of new contents to this dark sci-fi universe and also helps new players by tweaking its tough learning curve.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a solid FPS, with nice graphics and an excellent online mode. It is a pity that not much has been done for the single player campaign, since the eleven available missions are too short and repetitive.

The latest Jak and Daxter game on the PSP comes with some flaws, but also delivers a good gameplay, three different kind of action and plenty of missions. The Lost Frontier takes a little to start up, but then proves to be a product of great substance, very well made and full of good ideas.

Punch-Out!! is exactly how a remake should be made. But the core mechanics are probably more suited to the people who enjoyed the other punch-out!! games than to newcomers or casual gamers.

Tropico 3 goes back to the origin of the series, offering the same mechanics of the first episode with a full 3D engine, a 15 mission campaign and a lot of things to do.

The game is very well devised with a deep and challenging management core. It also has beautiful visuals, but to enjoy them you have to play the game with a powerful high end PC. Unfortunately not all the features are well implemented, the battles are a little bit cheesy and pre built villages in the campaigns remove all the progress made in the previous missions.

Anno is a very good handheld version of a game that still finds its real sense on PCs: the developing team substantially succeeded finding a good balance between complexity and usability, although with some minor complaints, and the title results one of the best in the genre on the DS.

Motorstorm: Arctic Edge on PSP is just as we expected it: an arcade racer, very spectacular and durable, given the huge number of races and the presence of online multiplayer. The lack of next gen graphics is certainly hard to swallow for the series, but it was done everything possible to make a good job on PSP.

Though it's not even close to the real Rock Band experience, LEGO Rock Band offers great fun and an unexpected thickness. The tracklist lacks of many of the songs you can get with the Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii versions, but the audio quality is awesome for the Nintendo DS standards.

Space Invaders Extreme 2 uses the dual screen in the right way, improving the already excellent gameplay that characterized the first episode of the series. The game is immediate and engaging, with a good balance of difficulty and an awesome mix of graphics and sound.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is the best game in the saga available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Spectacular combats and the excellent graphics make up for a less than acceptable camera. If you are a fan, you'll love it.

While not shining particularly for level design solutions, NyxQuest stands as an example of balanced mix between platform and puzzle game, all plunged in a beautiful, classical greek background. At the present time, one of the best offering on WiiWare.

Fast, fun and cheap. For less than 10 bucks and despite a not so charming visual style, Altitude is a very good multiplayer shoot'em up.

Dante's Inferno is a decent action game packed with 60 frames per second and a lot of fun. Some problems related to the gameplay, the story and balance of difficulty prevents it from being on par with the best action games around.

Rabbids Go Home is a great puzzle game on the DS, a real must have for everyone who loves puzzles and/or the Rabbids!

Band Hero feels more like a data disk rather than a brand new franchise: however, its focus on multiplayer, pop tracklist and interesting connectivity options with the DS make it a perfect-suited rhythm game for the Wii audience.

Despite some technical problems and a not so complex lore, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis provides a well crafted mix between RPG elements and action.

Not just a simple remake of the classic, Contra Rebirth is a genuine, all-new injection of classic arcade action. More committed to the hardcore and nostalgic audience, it's nonetheless a great and classy production by Konami.

A Reckless Disregard for Gravity - AaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA… very fun, old style score attack game, for a small price!

Don't believe the hype: Scribblenauts is a fun and innovative idea that isn't perfectly supported by a great game. After the "wow factor" of the first hours of play, you'll quickly understand that this is not the revolution of gaming.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International is being released in the shadow of Final Fantasy XIII which is however much less traditional than this Tri-Ace release of the acclaimed sci-fi series and its JRPGesque features: cities, quests, optional content, secret bosses, lengthy and elaborate dungeons. Although not standing out visually speaking, Star Ocean: The Last Hope offers an enjoyable plot and interesting characters together with an outstanding battle system and quite a lot of features which make it a long-lasting and compelling game.

If you never played a skate episode before, this is probably the best skateboarding game around. If you already bought a previous chapter, keep in mind that this is just an update of an already great game.

Just like every good puzzle should be, You Me and the Cubes is based on a simple, yet brilliant concept. There are some flaws, especially regarding the controls and the repetitive gameplay, but it's however a pleasure to play in short sessions.

Warcraft's mod DotA revives in this free to play mix between a strategy and a role playing game. Worth a try.

The Void is pretty unique: the gameplay is hard to describe with a mix of complex mechanics, the first person view and an innovative storytelling. It's not for everyone but still worth a try!

Bit.Trip Void is a stylish homage to the graphic and the spirit of the iconic videogames of the 80s. It is also a brilliant puzzle game with an intuitive and addictive mechanic. The only flaws are its shortness and the lack of online leaderboards, but for 600 points it's a good choice.

Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands is a welcome comeback to faster and tighter gameplay mechanics in the series. It's just too short and too easy to be a AAA title.

It's somewhat rough around the edges, but Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a good action game which firmly stands in the middle between tradition and innovation: even so, its substantial lack of challenge might disappoint long-time fans of the series.

A 20 dollars expansion that adds multiplayer modes and smaller features. A nice offer for the more enthusiastic players of the original game.

Despite some cheap animations and a lack of original ideas, The Whispered World is good adventure with a melancholic atmosphere, brilliant dialogue and beautiful hand drawn stages.

A fun and exhilarating experience heavily relying on what Nintendo did with the Mario Kart series over the last few years. It may be not the best in its genre, but it's surely worth a try and an overall well packed game.

If you are looking for the second best kart racer on the DS, or if you are tired of the usual Nintendo universe, look no further: Sonic & Sega all-star racing on the DS is a great game.

Despite few bugs and some unbalances due to new powers and an higher level cap, Awakening in a twenty hours long run that worth the money It costs and will make every Origins' player happy. After some miss-able DLCs, Bioware is back at It's best.

Saira will challenge both your hands and brain, offering beautiful scenarios and an intelligent level design. It's not for everyone but is still a great piece of indie.

Echoshift is obviously a spiritual sequel to Echochrome not just by a technical point of view but especially on the concept field: it's a neat puzzle-game which challenges the player's timing, cunning and memory. Echoshift tries to be accessible to everyone: advanced stages are very complicated but never frustrating, while the combination of the concept with the how-to-do is extremely balanced.

Settlers 7 does not innovate the formula it belongs to but offers a good quantity and quality of different contents. If you like the genre and can manage the dull DRM, It could be a nice experience.

Drake's Fortune Multiplayer Pack does not add a lot to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves but the two new maps designed by Naughty Dogs are visually awesome and enjoyable.

Two years after, a new world for Age of Conan, with adventures and mysteries under the shadow of the Great Wall.

Heroes of Newerth is a multiplayer RTS based on the classic DotA scenario for Warcraft 3, so it comes with a classic gameplay, a great number of characters and hundreds of items that you have to know and try in order to win a match. It can be a very though experience for all newcomers, as they need to play several matches only to know how to use some heroes.

It may not be a memorable 3D platformer, but Jett Rocket succeed in what is, in the end, the main aim for a game: entertain. Quite short and often derivative, this game is nevertheless one of the best titles lately released on WiiWare, mainly thanks to its brilliant level design and the everlasting charm of the 3D platform genre.

Gameloft keeps with the copy & paste philosophy with a nice Castlevania clone, deeply lacking in personality but with a good gameplay and some pretty nice graphics.

Singularity takes lots of ideas from other shooters, mixing them in a way that does not really invent anything new but offers hours of entertainment and a compelling gameplay.

While improving the original formula, the multiplayer addition is not enough (or not fun enough) to overlook the game main drawbacks, which remain substantially unchanged from the previous chapter.

The game is not so long-lived, but an intense story mode and the great attention to the technical features make the gameplay solid and involving.

Party games lovers should absolutely buy Wii Party. The number of minigames is just impressive and they are also very ingenious. Of course, there are some dull challenges but for the most part they are fresh and amusing, exactly like the improved Mii's look. Unfortunately Wii Party doesn't support any online feature and WiiMotion Plus is absent too, but is not a great lack.

Not the revolution we expected, Epic Mickey is still a solid, entertaining and fun platform adventure with a gorgeous take on the Disney iconography. It's a shame for the dull camera and the frequent highs and lows in the gameplay area.

Call of Duty: Black Ops for Nintendo DS comes as a stand-alone title, for those who may possess the dual-screen handheld console only and sometimes need a bit of "hardcore" FPS action. The touch controls work good and the graphics are well done, but the strength of the game is the presence of several modes, both in single and in multiplayer.

Definitely better than last year's effort, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 for PSP delivers great graphics, an excellent interface and a large number of game modes. Unfortunately there's no online multiplayer, the teams aren't up-to-date (but you can fix this manually) and some of the physics are questionable.

Ace Combat: Joint Assault somewhat tries to bring the franchise up to date without being totally successful. New multiplayer features are interesting and add to the overall length of the game, on the other side gameplay is still the same and perhaps a bit too much simple and repetitive. Fans of the franchise will love the excellent visuals and wide range of missions, which make this installment a good start for new players and veterans alike.

Toy Story 3: The Videogame is geared toward a young audience but it is also a funny game that can "catch" players that still like to be captured by this kind of atmosphere. The free roam section is also surprisingly funny and well executed.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable stands as one of the best fighting game available for PSP, thanks to a solid gameplay and a good number of characters, each with abilities that make it more or less suitable for a particular approach. The ability to perform special moves by simply using the analog stick will annoy purists, but this feature can be useful if the movements required are too elaborate and difficult to achieve with the d-pad.

The 2011 edition of FIFA Soccer for PSP doesn't solve some old problems (such as team management and graphical interface), offers almost the same modes of last year's iteration but lacks of an online multiplayer mode. The gameplay is still solid and rich, however, so the game could still be a good choice for those who are looking for a nice soccer simulation with up-to-date teams.

The PC version of Lost Planet 2 solves some problems present on consoles, offering some excellent visuals thanks to the DirectX 11 support. Unfortunately, the developers could not remedy to the flaws of the original game (interesting plot but anonimous characters, several short missions in the single player campaign and a mediocre AI), but the combat system is still excellent and there are plenty of nice multiplayer modes. If you loved the first Lost Planet, this sequel won't disappoint you, definitely.

Good script and visual style makes up for the lack of variety in Costume Quest and the adorable characters and villains are intriguing enough to appeal players into clearing the game. Turns based encounters are dull and repetitive although you can customize your characters through costumes and stamps, but they are just the main issue of the game. Double Fine released an enjoyable game for a cheap price and we hope for a sequel, perhaps next Halloween or even earlier.

Full of humour and action, Plunderland is a successfull example of simple mechanics implemented in a really good way. Every flaw will be fixed by the forthcoming update, with new levels and game modes. At the beginning it's not so easy to say why Plunderland is so special, but once you are at the helm it will be really hard to come back on dry land.

It's true, there are too many "ultra arcade games" on the App Store right now, and most of them become quickly boring and repetitive. But Monster Dash is slightly different: though the game keeps the classic "survival" structure, it gives you a health bar, four different stages and a lot of weapons to blast the enemies. If you like the genre, don't miss it!

More than just a game, BIT.TRIP BEAT is an enjoyable experience that combines sounds and images, encouraging the players to improve their performance through a series of trials. The four stages available in the basic version are well balanced, nice to see and full of sounds and colors.

Blokus is a clever and interesting board game, that will appeal both to casual and skilled audience; besides the repetitiveness, the only problem is that it's a bit too pricey.

Alive 4-ever Returns is a really funny game, with a lot of enemies and weapons; the co-op mode is potentially infinite and the single player campaign is long and various. However, this sequel is just a "more of the same", without any innovation or difference. If you liked the first Alive forever, you certainly will love this Returns, but If you didn't like it, there's no reason to buy this sequel.

Frogatto is a nice and cute platform game, which does almost everything right: it's not so great in terms of desing and sheer originality, but it's fun and engaging enough to be one of the best in its genre on iPhone.

Mario Sports Mix it's not the best party game for the Nintendo Wii, but Square Enix managed to put together a decent number of sports that will surely entertain you and your friends.

With the App Store literally crammed with action games and tower defense games, a fishing simulation may be the ideal choice to "unplug" and enjoy a genre that maybe we never thought could be fun. Fishing Kings does the job pretty well, give it a try.

Chapter after chapter, the new Atakama Labs' game astonishes with new ideas and odd minigames: with its colourful graphics and its peppy music it's pleasant to see and hear. The difficulty grows very quickly, while only the most valiant of the gamers will hang in there. Freaking Inkies is simply one of the most fun and thumbs-breaking action games on the App Store.

Dungeon Hunter II fits perfectly into the hack and slash rules, giving player hours of easy to pick up fun thanks to tons of objects, statistics and monsters to deal with. Both the single and the multiplayer experience do not add new elements to the genre but offer lot for a fair price tag.

Helsing's Fire shows that's still possible to create an excellent and also original puzzle game. Though it's not perfect, the game delivers many nice ideas and concepts in its ninety levels, it's challenging and fun.

Highborn is an amazing turn-based strategy game, rich in humour and with a remarkable tactic depth. Players will be strongly challenged starting from the second mission already, and even the most ridiculous error can nullify the entire strategy. Actually, the game suffers from some major issues, as the Facebook-based multiplayer mode or the lack of an Undo button.

KingdomConquest is a mix up between a MMORPG and an on line RTS, and the result is very interesting. You can fight in a well done 3D co-op mode, conquer one of the 7 towers, or create and keep your Kingdom, and finally invade with your monster army the neighboring areas. The game it's free, with optional micro-transactions, but if you're a fan of MMORPG, it could be a good choice.

Bug Heroes is an original blend of RTS, shooter and RPG that, despite how strange it could seems, actually works. Not very interesting in terms of story and setting, the deep gameplay make this game a good choice for the expert player.

With all of its problems, ranging to faulted online and strange car handling, TDU 2 is still a reccomended ride, especially if you enjoy the freedom two islands can give and with a host of powerful cars.

Notwithstanding a few little imperfections, Cities in Motion is really complete from every side, including the unbeatable price.

Through its action-oriented gameplay, Bloodline Champions is very demanding in terms of time and experience since every character plays differently and you have to learn exactly how in order to win a match.

Really intriguing gameplay, if the player involves himself he maybe forget the poor technical side.
