Blades of Time Gaijin Entertainment;Iceberg Interactive (Gaijin Entertainment)2012EL PEOR REMAKE DE LA HISTORIA.

Quitaron todo lo bueno que tenía el primer juego (el tutorial es un coñazo, con una personaje ortopédica que se ahoga literalmente en un charco de metro y medio y que da pena saltando en un entorno que parece sacado de los escenarios descartados de la película Predator).

Lo único nuevo es que introducen un modo de ataque lejano (similar a un FPS) que no está muy logrado.

Además tiene QTM todo el rato (una de las virtudes del X-Blades era la ausencia de estos, que aceleraba la acción)

En serio, hacía tiempo que no jugaba a un juego tan pésimo.

HORRIBLE.

Por no ponerle un 0.***Ayumi, the gorgeous gun and sword-wielding treasure hunter, sets out on a journey to an ancient island in search of new adventures. While rich in bounty, the island is also filled with the magic of Chaos, being at the same time home to blood thirsty monsters. With a host of colorful characters, eye-popping visual appeal, tons of treasure and a huge variety of combat skills to master, Blades of Time will bring just as much fun and satisfaction both to gamers that are new to the action adventure genre and to experienced players.

Key features:
* Time Rewind. The ability to rewind time will help Ayumi to solve different puzzles and fight with armies of monsters.
* Meetings and encounters. While traveling Ayumi is sure to meet lots of cuddly, funny and mysterious characters. Each of them will make a contribution to the story of the blonde's risky adventures.
* Beautiful in-game world. The world of the game is packed with a variety of fantastic landscapes. Here players can find everything: from snowy valleys to dense jungle, ancient cities and temples and even sky islands.
* Martial arts. Over 40 different combo attacks as well as spells of different magic schools will help Ayumi to defeat all the enemies that stand in her way.
* Precious time. Ayumi’s ability to speed herself up in no time will help her to catch up with enemies, flee from her pursuers and travel all over the in-game world, making use of its unique landscape features.
* Coop and PvP are available in the special "Outbreak" mode.***Sequel or spiritual successor to Gaijin's earlier game, [game=X-Blades]X-Blades[/game].

Darksiders II  THQ (Vigil Games)2012 labelimageminimize
Aliens: Colonial Marines  Sega (Gearbox Software;TimeGate Studios;Nerve Software)2013Has been received extremely poorly, here's few things that go over why:
* [url]http://www.destructoid.com/so-who-the-hell-did-make-aliens-colonial-marines--244939.phtml[/url]
* [url]http://www.destructoid.com/gearbox-lied-about-aliens-from-e3-demo-to-retail-product-244966.phtml[/url]
* [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGXDM3LGnk[/url]***For any Aliens fans, this game will be horribly disappointing. Despite the gratuitous fanservice from including LV-426, Hadley's Hope, Sulaco, the Derelict and its dead Jockey pilot, Hicks, and various other things from the movies, this game utterly fails to deliver on the atmosphere of the films. Alien acidic blood is only a minor annoyance, player can trivially fight the aliens in melee, the aliens themselves seem incredibly lazy, the way player can carry ~10 different weapons with separate ammo for each, extremely linear locations, and whatever else make this feel unsatisfying when you come to it expecting a proper Aliens game. The license seems almost wasted on it considering how much they deviate from what fans of the franchise would expect. If they had made this a game with no ties to Aliens franchise it would've probably been half-decent, but as it is, it fails to be what it is supposed to be. The graphics are the main point where this actually is quite good at, though for PC game they're kinda low fidelity, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a game that's published on the usual platform trio (X360/PS3/PC).

To summarize: fans of the Alien franchise, keep away. People who don't care for the franchise on the other hand, this can work as a mediocre tube shooter.

Brütal Legend Double Fine Productions2013Un hack and slash mas brrrutal que los frosties, con un humor soberbio propio de Double Fine y con pequeños toques de estrategia y de juego de conducción.

Brütalmente imprescindible, el menú principal es legendario.

Tomb Raider  Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)2013Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles.
Aún así, la mezcla de acción-plataformas está mejor realizada que nunca.

8 de 10***Notes on tags:
[spoiler]
[b]Giant humanoids[/b] - the Oni are not explained what they really are, whether they are actually Japanese demons ([url=/groups/info/ogres]ogres[/url] really) or just some of the samurai who suffer from gigantism.
[b]Undead[/b] - the Stormguard. Although nothing really suggests this except for that you can kill them by destroying their belt buckles, which presumably animate their dead bodies.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm  Blizzard Entertainment2013Requires Wings of Liberty to function in US and EU versions at least, Chinese version is possibly standalone. labelimageminimize
Dust: An Elysian Tail Microsoft Studios (Humble Hearts)2013Un beat'em up genial con un escenario que te atrapa desde el primer minuto y unos personajes que respiran vida.
Es como jugar un anime de fantasía, una auténtica joya de las que parece que el tiempo de juego siempre es poco.

Lost Planet 3 Capcom (Spark Unlimited)2013The extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterised the Lost Planet series return, harsher than ever before. Lost Planet 3 reveals new truths about the foreboding planet and the colonial history of E.D.N. III.

Lost Planet 3 introduces Jim Peyton, a rig pilot who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Working for Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) who are preparing the planet for colonisation, Jim joins his fellow pioneers at the Coronis base and begins surveying the uncharted terrain and obtaining samples of the planet’s energy supply – Thermal Energy.

With NEVEC’s existing Thermal Energy reserve running low the fate of the Coronis mission depends on the natural source of the energy supply being located. Realising that this is a great opportunity for a huge pay-off and early ticket home to his family, Jim braves the risk of the treacherous environment and threat of the indigenous Akrid.
Acting as a home away from home and boasting an array of tools that can assist Jim on the field, the utility rig provides Jim’s safety and is essential not only for his contract work but also his protection against the ever-changing climate.

Lost Planet 3 will deliver a diverse range of gameplay including on-foot battles and intense first person action. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost Planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths within the unique and dynamic environment of E.D.N. III.
[Steam Store]***(Recently adquired grappling hook)

Third person shooter with survival elements.

Pros:
-Atmosphere and use of music.
-Enemies surprise you from time to time.
-Nice-thought controls, like "180 view spin"

Cons:
-Exploration is very limited.
-Bad port (noted in controls specially)

5 of 10***Set before the events of the first game, before the mechs were militarized and before NEVEC became dictatorial.

Pillars of Eternity  Paradox Interactive (Obsidian Entertainment)2015Pillars of Eternity will take the central hero, memorable companions and the epic exploration of Baldur's Gate, add in the fun, intense combat and dungeon diving of Icewind Dale, and tie it all together with the emotional writing and mature thematic exploration of Planescape: Torment.

You'll create your own character and collect companions along the way - taking him or her not just through this story, but, with your continued support, through future adventures. You will engage in dialogues that are deep, and offer many choices to determine the fate of you and your party. ...and you'll experience a story that explores mature themes and presents you with complex, difficult choices to shape how your story plays out.***
