Samurai Gunn is an excellent example of how games can do more with less. Its combat is deceptively simple, there are no character advantages, and the tight, dangerous environments each feel unique. However, the lack of an online multiplayer mode will likely keep it relegated to “great party game” status. One warrior is simply not enough.

Still, this mobile port's every bit as fun as playing the original if you have the gamepad to support it, but the touchscreen control, while competent are not the best way to play. At seven bucks for some of the most memorable gaming content of the last decade, though, it's probably a risk worth taking.

Aquapazza is a successful home port that will satisfy those who’ve followed its competitive run in Japan. While its graphics do little to excite the senses, there’s an interesting fighting game behind them - one that exhibits surprising creativity and variety despite its single-minded emphasis on offense.

Season 2’s premiere of The Walking Dead is predictable in good and bad ways — its character drama is strong, its technical prowess is not. Clementine’s character development highlights the fact that she was a secondary character, someone to look out for, in the first season. Here, she’s come into her own, learned from the Lee Everett we knew more about, and is stronger than she’s ever been — both as a person and a story’s subject.

Per quanto ci si ostini a inseguirlo, il passato resta tale e non ha alcun senso continuare a chiamarlo in causa. Nello specifico, Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse Episode One manca di cuore e testa, impegnato com'è nel celebrare i fasti dei suoi avi: peccato che, come i figli d'arte meno dotati, non solo perda il confronto con questi, ma esca sconfitto anche dal conflitto con le moderne avventure grafiche, prive di blasone e, forse per questo, capaci di vivere pienamente il presente.

Un ottimo puzzle game, che propone una sfida stimolante e impegnativa ma viene anche incontro ai giocatori con un sistema di aiuti efficace e ben dosato. La sfida e i contenuti non mancano e fino ai primi di gennaio il gioco è pure in offerta. Che volete, di più?

World of Warplanes won’t turn you into the next Chuck Yeager, but it will give you an insight into the real draw of flight sims: outmaneuvering and shooting down enemy planes is enormously satisfying.

For better or worse, Freedom Cry feels like an entire Assassin's Creed game distilled into five hours. That’s good, but it’s an Assassin’s Creed game that doesn’t include many of the steps forward that Black Flag so recently made. ...But despite this, Adewale's journey genuinely moved me, as it dealt with themes and situations rarely explored in video games. A story unfettered by Assassin versus Templar mysticism keeps it grounded and powerful.

Poco esaltante sul versante competitivo e limitato rispetto ai pesi massimi del genere, Warface offre invece una valida esperienza cooperativa, un buon comparto grafico e un sistema economico ben bilanciato.

Angry Birds Star Wars è un ottimo passatempo, nonché un bel salto per il classico gameplay della serie. ...Avesse avuto al suo interno anche il secondo capitolo, o centinaia di livelli esclusivi in più forse le cose sarebbero cambiate, ma stanti così le cose è un acquisto consigliato ai soli fan, che avranno in ogni caso parecchio con cui divertirsi.
