Faster, bigger and more addictive than its predecessor, TrackMania 2: Canyon is the ultimate arcade racing game. With tons of crazy tracks from Nadeo and its passionate community, online races up to 200 player, world ladders and the in-game social network called ManiaPlanet, the hardest thing to do in TrackMania 2: Canyon is to stop playing it.

Hard Reset is an old school FPS, a game where speed is everything. Flying Wild Hog first game takes the player into a realistic sci-fi world, giving the feeling that perhaps the evolution of this genre is not really an evolution.

Epic couldn't have ended the Gears of War trilogy in a better way: a great single player campaign and a highly addictive and stunning multiplayer, destined to be remembered as one of the highest examples of what current gen competitive and cooperative online has to offer. If you're not afraid to risk your social, family, and love life, give it a go: you surely won't regret it.

Although it doesn't shine for innovation, F1 2011 proves to be a well-crafted and solid racing simulation, and one that will surely keep any fan of the genre very busy for a long time.

After 14 years, Starfox 64 is still a great videogame, and this 3DS version improves the original with new visuals and a new control system. Too bad that multiplayer doesn't support the online.

This compilation uses the nostalgia effect to draw money from the hardcore fans of Mortal Kombat. Unlike Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition, anyway, after so many years the three games of the Kollection are less appealing than before. The horrible lag, moreover, prevent players from having fun with the online multiplayer.

Although the keyword for this year's Madden surely isn't "revolution", EA Sports has managed to up the ante even further, giving fans exactly what they wanted: more intense football action.

NHL 12 is another step towards excellence. If you're a fan of this sport, you can't miss it.

Space Marine is a missed opportunity, a game too simple to be a challenge appropriate to hardcore gamers, and a world too deep to be understood by casual gamer. Funny, but boring.

Although its visuals aren't surely groundbreaking, Xenoblade Chronicles proves to be an excellent jRPG that demonstrates just how much this genre has still to offer to its loyal fans.

Driver: Renegade 3D is a game with two faces. The first one is pretty sad, with a short and boring Story Mode, a bad AI and the lack of any kind of multiplayer mode. The second one grants a very good Career Mode, with funny races and a solid structure.

A must buy for every single PS3 owner. The lack of extras is a shame, but the quality of the two original games and the good HD conversions grant to every Ueda fan what they're looking for. Enjoy this gem and wait for The Last Guardian.

Though being a well-crafted game that will surely please fans of the series and genre, Resistance 3 fails to reach pure excellence due to some unattended promises and a far too classical concept that lacks any sort of innovation. It will guarantee hours in fun in both single player and multiplayer, but Insomniac could have surely done something more if its aim was to reach the top.

The fans of the Serious Sam saga can take into account an easy (and cheap) buy, because the feeling of the 3D versions of the game has been transposed into Double D well.

What happens when you include two little masterpieces in one HD Collection for PS3? You get something that every action games fan shouldn't miss!

Dead Island is not your typical zombie game and certainly it's not flawless, but if you take your time in Banoi Island, you'll have a good, gory, tropical-flesh salad.

Drive: San Francisco is a nice game with many interesting ideas. The Shift mechanics are good enough to offer a great experience, though they transform even the harder mission in something too easy for a skilled player. The massive multiplayer experience can offer many hours of genuine fun, online or simply on the same console with split-screen.

Bodycount has a lot of ideas but also a large amount of problems. A weak storyline guides the player through an average campaign mode, and the most interesting things are the co-op campaign and the Bodycount mode (the arcade style mode where you fight for the final grade). All the rest simply doesn't work as intended.

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy is the classic wasted opportunity due to the lack of resources and an insane ambition to try to cook too many meals onto the same kitchen's fire. The right dimension of this game should be that of a free mod: at 20 Euros, Steam 'shelves' are stuffed with commercial products much more worthy than this one.

If you are a fan of technical fighting games THIS pearl is for you. The awesome gameplay created more than 10 years ago by Capcom is still one of the most addictive examples of how a game like this should work. With Online Edition Capcom offers an arcade perfect port of the glorious Street Fighter III: Third Strike, with a big number of interesting addictions. Buy it, and you'll be amazed.

The best card played by Eidos Montreal is the core of the stealth gameplay, and the vast array of augmentations can change drastically the way the player can solve the most intricate security situations. Ok, the graphics and the combat probably aren't the freshest beverage of this summer, but for 20+ hours of high quality hide and catch, you can drink them anyway and leave the complains for the inevitable DLCs.

A good "metroidvania-style" adventure game, but its structure is a little bit too simple for the category. The level design is awesome, but the lack of a real challenge transforms a potentially great experience in something too flat for an hardcore gamer. Anyway, the game is still pretty good, and if you like Metroid-style adventures, you definitely have to try it.

Legacy is without any doubt Dragon Age II's best DLC. Its intense narrative and great gameplay phases, make it an essential purchase for any fan of the franchise.

Fruit Ninja Kinect is funny and engaging for a short period, but it's also an 800MP game and for that price we would like to have something a little bit more... juicy!

Supreme Ruler: Cold War is an old strategy game whose gameplay recalls the times when you had to face real difficulties and every videogame was a challenge. Same goes for the technical side, with its graphics and sound that seem to come back from the '90s. Only for fans.

Pro Cycling Manager 2011 is a very solid game and is able to give the real feelings of a cycling season. It's not a perfect game but it's probably the best one from Cyanide so far.

To conceive a cooperative game without giving the player the chance to play along with a teammate across the net, is a sort of heresy, especially for a game like this.

Ms. Splosion Man is pure fun. The sequel of the awesome Splosion Man is bigger, faster and better. If you're looking for a fun and challenging platform, this is the game for you, both in single player or with your friends.
