Vanquish is a beautifully fast and intense shooter, probably one of the best experiences of the year. The bad: It ends too soon.

Runaway 3 is a great game for point & click adventure fans. A thrilling adventure that entertains the player from the beginning to the end.

Ghost Recon: Predator for PSP is a failed attempt in the tactical action genre. The game has many weak points (AI, visuals, controls) offering an unsatisfying experience. In fact, the title is not a perfect incarnation in the series.

Superstars V8 Racing is a good game with a lot of detail for realism, but it lacks any spark to make it stand out in the face of competition.

Art Academy is a fantastic program for creating art. It's not a game.

It's sad to see the PES franchise so far from what was unquestionably the peak of the series, its Pro Evolution Soccer 5 entry. PES 2011 is a heartbreaking step back from what we were hoping for.

Maybe moving the Medal of Honor series to the present day is the right commercial decision, but to compete with a saga like Modern Warfare you need to develop a more compelling gameplay experience. Also the game is incredibly linear with just run and gun action for its campaign, and the multiplayer part is good, but maybe not great enough to make this a real contender for Call of Duty.

Maybe the lack of different kind of situations is its main issue, but The Writer means a necessary ending for the first Alan Wake.

Comic Jumper comes with a strong bunch of jokes and a nice and varied set of levels. Maybe it's too short in terms of mechanics, but its charm and excellent humor shines above all of its limitations.

Lords of Shadow is a huge leap forward for the Castlevania franchise. This game refines the characteristic IP gameplay with an occidental flavor, awesome production values and raging and furious combats.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is certainly an interesting experience. Its oversimplified nature is ideal for RPG newcomers.

Hydrophobia offers some remarkable technology for its water behavior, but as a gameplay experience isn't nearly as enjoyable.

Samurai warriors 3 is a remarkable game on wii and probably the best episode from the franchise.

Another season, another amazing FIFA game. 11 is loyal to FIFA 10's legacy, and keeps its strong value and gameplay strengths. Solid and awesome paced soccer, FIFA 11 retains its crown as the best sport game this year.

Horror, comedy and action. Dead Rising 2 is a balanced game - a funny and compelling "zombie Killer".

Warriors of Rock offers a great rock/metal tracklist to Guitar Hero fans. The inclusion of new power abilities and new gameplay styles are a great return to the roots of the saga.

Awful. A game to be forgotten very quickly.

FIFA 11 for PC is a nice start for the series on personal computers after years of disappointing iterations, but it's still far apart from its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts.

Claptrap's New Robot Revolution is a bit of a letdown. There are no memorable moments here, and is nowhere near as good as Mad Moxxi's or General Knoxx add-ons.
