Refreshing and accessible.

Demigod is an excellent game that only suffers by the lack of options. A campaign mode with a better story mode would put this game on a higher level.

Ragdoll Kung Fu: fists of Plastic can be a good game, still having his problems. The Single player “campaign” is too short, and there is no online mode. Considering this, acquire this game only if you want some minutes of pure fun or, maybe, if you have always your house full of friends.

If you liked the first one, you will love this sequel. Despite being somewhat short and disappointing at the end, it can easily be offset by the fact that you will have the possibility to play the first game, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.

Ninja Blade is a game that only true fans of the genre should mind. Give it a chance only if you’re not tired enough of Ninjas. The adventure of Ken has occasional good moments, but quickly becomes repetitive and that results in a forgettable experience.

If you’re looking for a rhythm game that fits the characteristics of a portable system like the Nintendo DS then Rhythm Paradise is a unique game that can provide hours of fun thanks to his simplicity.

It is unsatisfactory, frustrating and tiring, in any sense of the word. If you think this genre has still a gap in Wii’s catalogue, then Don King Boxing doesn’t really change anything.

It’s a crime to see how this series turned out, after a few titles with a quite good quality. This family of virtual seductive gigolos needs a reform, or maybe someone who revives the series from the ashes.

The Wheelman can be fun in small doses, but it quickly becomes repetitive and even with the additional tasks and missions, the game can’t have the personality and vibrancy needed to keep us playing through the virtual streets of Barcelona for a long time.

Justifying the enthusiasm by reviving fights, characters and many exciting moments swallowed by the sports books, this game is able to generate some sympathy from the fans. Don’t expect much more than that.

Entertains while it lasts but as soon as you start enjoying it, the game ends. With no repetition value and a very short campaign, the game can also become repetitive and uninteresting in a medium term. The potential is present but could have been more.

Basically Monsters vs. Aliens is a pleasant surprise only marred by the excessive repetitive campaign. Nevertheless, a considerable number of characters can be controlled, giving some variety to the game. If you liked the movie Monsters vs Aliens can easily be a nice experience.

Without doing anything really new and unique apart form the Distortion World, Platinum fulfills its mission, even making it the more complete and distinct Pokémon "third version” has seen to date.

If you're a fan of Resistance, don’t even think twice. Even presenting a story often predictable and without much spinning, Retribution is an unforgettable passage for any fan of the series.

Besides being an extremely competent and fun experience, the game can bring the maximum potential of the console. All this combined with a duration that exceeds several hours, between missions, challenges and exploration.

Even having the necessary quality to live among the best of this generation, it is strange to see that Capcom kept some values of the past and risked in others that can’t work as expected. Sponsored by wonderful new generation visuals, Resident Evil 5 seems stuck to the previous generation in elements like the gameplay.

Since the unique visuals to the different ways applied to set the progression, there are not lacking reasons for speakers jump from the chair in full vibration with brutal actions of Jack, the butcher of service. Madworld is a fantastic fiction world.

Codename Panzers: Cold War may even be fun and could attract some casual players, but if you’re seeking a real challenge, you won’t find it here. This is an enjoyable game for a few moments, but quickly falls into oblivion.

Lara's Shadow is significantly more attractive than Beneath the Ashes and offers a better proposal for fans of the series, especially because it gives small clues that may influence the future of it.

Most devout fans of this adventure will certainly feel an urgent necessity to know the events after the end of the game but will not find anything of significance or mandatory here.

The lack of Online Co-op mode is a huge loss and, after finishing the game, it remains the idea that The Watchmen might have been better with a solid structure and a some more content.

If you're a fan of the series, you don't even need to think twice. However, for RTS fans this could be easier and less challenging. Putting in the balance your enthusiasm for this universe, the score can easily raise one point, and the controls' simplicity is also an added value, as well as cooperative and competitive online modes.

All fans will love it. It's a game to play slowly, and preference for players with many hours available, it quickly becomes a way of life. Its complexity can put away some casual players.

If you are big fan of the series seeking an alternative experience, you may find here a product to consider. The characters presentation and some of his words may be enough to please the fans. Simply there are choices that if in previous games didn’t work, in this format they do less.

The entire mechanism can become tedious in a short term, but if you have the chance to play with three or four friends, then all this becomes a much better experience.

Killzone 2 is without a doubt the high point for a project in videogaming. Believable, safe, coherent and above all, brilliant in its execution. A must-have for all those who love this art, especially for those in need of breathtaking experiences, where the different senses are laid on the table.

Tomb Raider Underworld: Beneath the Ashes is a new level that can only be recommended to more dedicated fans. Even if you put aside this short duration, the truth is that it brings nothing new to the experience. It offers challenges that the player already knows how to deal with, and once you finish it there is no reason to play again.

Onslaught is a real deal, particularly if you are looking for the Online component. It's fun, it's complete, and even if it could be something more, I this is a game capable of filling the measures. Ended the search for those seeking a good FPS.

As the toy it is, do not expect missions or other accessories in addition to the short list of trophies that can be taken as a minimalist group of goals. The real experience is hidden behind the great objective of Noby Noby Boy - teamwork.

Accessible but challenging at the same time, Dawn of War II can easily capture a large number of players ranging from the most hardcore to more casual. If you love a good real time strategy game and have much time available to spend playing, be assured that this game will not disappoint you.

Race Pro offers a good sense of driving, but without achieving the same impact on visual and graphical presentation of tracks and cars. But when the total concentration is in the path of the track, in the proximity of opponents and in the car driving, the rest ends up being superfluous. A good bet by Simbin.

SF IV represents the best tribute that could ever be made to the series, but it also found, in an apparent easiness, a way to spread perfume and charisma, opening perspectives for modern fighting games.

A new story, new missions, new vehicles, new weapons, new music and even some new online modes put this expansion above almost anything else ever seen in downloadable content. The new stuff would be enough to justify the investment and for the fans The Lost and Damned can't be missed.

Fire Emblem:Shadow Dragon, despite its old age - gracefully disguised by the new aesthetics - is everything Fire Emblem always strove to be. An addicting game, where success truly rewards the player. It might not offer a very complex story and even leaves certain characters a blank slate, something that simply isn't the case with the more recent games, but everything else is right there. Essential to any fan, it's a great way to introduce someone to the genre.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin presents no major additions to its predecessor and it’s not ahighlight to the brand. However, it is a great game for FPS fans and particularly for those who loved the first game.

Although there is not as much innovation as we hoped for LocoRocco 2 is followed by truly fun details and rises once again to the throne as best platform game to the portable Sony console. Don’t let yourselves be fueled by the aspect of this title. Anyone will surrender to the charms of LocoRocco 2.

If the whole idea seems interesting to you, then the entertainment provided by games, magazines and dialogues will be more than enough to bring this work to the end.

Despite minor problems, the big failure is not to include online support, given the potential for certain games of this compilation. Be the justification nostalgia or only curiosity, "ultimate" is not the ideal word, but it’s certainly an appealing compilation to all fans.

House of the Dead is back from the group of series identified as dead, and Headstrong Games will be forever associated with this unimaginable recovery for adding to the game a lot of charisma and style able to generate in a short time a worship work. For now it is certainly the best "shooter" available on Wii.

Another Code R: A Journey Into Lost Memories wins for his simplicity and originality in the same technical components as the details stand out not for his greatness but for his refinement.

The great virtue of R-Type Dimensions is that it has both the classic and austere as permissive and compatible to most casual players, looking for the nostalgia of the arcade rooms at the expense of a "shmup" fast and easily rewarding if you like.

African Samurai is a game of complete contrast. Its visuals and aural components have great quality, but everything else fails and quickly becomes too many repetitive, uninspired and with a little ability to captivate. Fans of the series can still have some motivation but all others will soon fall into monotony, which is a shame because this game could have been more.

If you have played the first one, there are many reasons to play this second entry on the series. The game is better in almost all aspects, and the great amount of content will keep you playing and coming back for more, for a long time. Plus, the Online mode is great and there is plenty of unlockables. Annals of Meat mode is stupidly awesome.

The Maw is a very fun game with a great controls system. We can only regret the shortness of the adventure, because we really wanted to play more. That can be rectified with a great couple of new DLC. Nevertheless, The Maw is a joyful and fun experience. It's a candle while it lasts.

For those moments in which you want doses of immediate races and guaranteed satisfaction Gti Club + reveals itself competent and it could be a good choice to add to a Christmas list, particularly tempting for its price of 12 € at the PS Store.

Lumines Supernova is a solid package that offers a great amount of variety, thanks to its many game modes. The lack of online play is sadly the only issue in a game where the hard difficulty settings are the main dish for all the veterans. We have seen all this before, but it still simply rocks.

After all Crash Commando is a well directed game with an excellent potential. Meanwhile the short campaign leaves most of the success of this game to the on-line mode which may or may not be well frequented. It’s a fun experience and above all it’s an easy game to pick up and play thanks to the simplicity and instinctively qualities of the controls.

Rise Of The Argonauts offered less than it promised, thanks to its major technical problems that bring down all the game's potential. Poor visuals, bad sound and artistic choices made this game a disappointment. It's sad seeing an interesting concept like this becoming a game that breathes mediocrity.

It is not the most awaited experience for a tri-dimensional Sonic but this chapter will leave the fans pretty satisfied and convinced that the formula for a more organic and complete game is one or two blocks away.

Infinite World could only be advised to those who have never played Dragon Ball ever before because this version is a bit of all the others and yet it is none of them. It is sad to get to a time like this and watch these series going down like this and not moving forward in any way in any of its versions. Deep down Infinite World is a game without any individual identity at all – the resources are always the same and this formula is very worn-out.

Soldner-X is not really a fun experience. The high difficulty settings and the occasional repetitiveness of the same levels only can raise the frustration in each time you play.

Fans have here the best version, without any flaws to point to. Still, those who aren't familiar with the game should think before buying because if some things were acceptable in 1998, today they give frustration. Problems - transited from the original - don't stop it from being among the best XBLA has to offer in the genre, but may leave you questioning the high price.

The tragic story as well as its outcome left a sense that the whole adventure is a narrative of what awaits to come out to this we call a “playable tale” where the beauty of the sceneries leaves a slight touch of magic. Many may even reject this new “face” of PoP or find it odd for the visuals of the game are not the only change but one way or another it’s impossible to stay immune to this experience.

This is a version dedicated to ABBA fans, presenting their greatest hits along with the videoclips, which all together demonstrate the style of this generation.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is good, very good. It’s homage and a service that Capcom pays to itself and its classic as well as to all the fans that love it and will never forget. The boiling of all the memories to the old fans gets mixed up with the curiosity of the newbies without problems, Here they find a great way to get in the world of Street Fighter until Street Fighter IV comes out.

Chrono Trigger has always been known for being one of the best in the genre. Plenty of reasons for that. This is the first legit opportunity for European gamers to try this classic, and the score is justified.

After releasing the Xbox 360 and PC versions with some major problems, Eden Games show us that they got the necessary humility to admit and correct those failures. Now, in Alone in the Dark Inferno, they are really offering the definitive experience in an appealing game directed not only for those who have patience enough do surface all the errors, but for all the fans.

Legendary is an awful game that brings to recent memories the disappointing Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. If you like a pain in the ass, this game is good for help you trying to massacre yourself, but if you are a smart person, run away from this one.

The Playstation 2 version of Sonic Unleashed is not the return of this character to its glorious days that fans wished for. It’s a mediocre title although it contains some positive aspects. Meanwhile we advise fans to go with the versions for the new generations of consoles.

Tomb Raider Underworld is specially made for the fans because the game’s minor problems will not bother them. Still, is a different experience from the other games we can find right now and, nevertheless, it can be considered like one of the bests in the series. Unfortunately, this isn’t what we really expected. Despite, anyone who loved Legend and Anniversary can be happy with this one, because the fun is still assured.

In a broad perspective it will always be said that Lips doesn’t add much to the musical/Karaoke genre in which Singstar came out with success a few years ago. Mostly these are equivalent titles that are quite alike bur Lips is a successful bet for the Xbox 360 and a good starting point for future initiatives.

Metal Slug 7 is a possible game for Nintendo DS but it’s very far from the “true sequel” the fans have waited for so long especially since the third version is considered the vertex and pinnacle of all “shooters”.

Football Manager 2009 gets to us with some improvements which grant qualities to this series although not everything is perfect especially in its new 3D engine. This engine embodies some flaws but it’s welcome anyway because it shows Sports Interactive tries to introduce new developments in a style that has not much space to evolve. FM2009 is the highest exponent in this genre and it manages to surpass its previous version as well as it raises the goals to achieve to its more direct adversaries.

Left 4 Dead means fun and adrenaline in its SinglePlayer mode or in the phenomenal co-op Multiplayer, where only the lack of some more options blew the chances to seek new highs. It's like drugs, once you have it, it's impossible to drop. L4D is especially dedicated to all FPS fans who love pure and non-stop action.

For the second year in a row, Need For Speed: Undercover is not able to reach the so wished and awaited level. Although it is a good game it doesn’t stand out among the others of its genre like some old titles of these series being Most Wanted a good example of that. Thus it’s better to go with Burnout: Paradise or even Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Despite of not showing one of the bests Fighting Systems, the game is still compared to any of the Ed Boon’s franchise, surfacing other games in terms of graphics or sounds. Still, the game can’t offer a solid experience like the ones that have inspired MK vs DC. Any fan of each (or both) Universes will certainly enjoy this game because Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe is made for the fans.

Yet and as it was said in the beginning SWS is a game that feeds a great expectation and aspires to be one of the best in this category offering a good set of mountains (although the structure of the game is somewhat similar in every set) but ends up taking away from the experience sometimes quite funny due to the constant repeat of backtracking not so usual in these situations.

Mirror’s Edge isn’t just an incredible game it’s an outstandingly “outside of the box” experience. It’s amusing, attractive, intuitive and above all it is very rewarding. The campaign itself doesn’t win in the longevity aspect but it is capable of hooking the gamer with its beauty that sometimes seems like a riddle.

If this whole concept sounded interesting to you and if you can already see in your mind the endless hours of fun you will spend tuning up projects to the last bit there is no shadow of a doubt that this is a quintessential game. With this said Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is such a broad experience as you could hope for and the dark humour that seems to scrape on the surface of childish wont amuse everyone.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 is a quiet good game in terms of variety and quantity. Although, it lacks in quality, because there are too many situations needing some corrections. It’s all in the right place, we simply have seen it before in that same place.

Besides the inevitable similarities with Modern Warfare which does not deviate the game from a similar execution and even with some minor flaws is stays as a solid and convincing title with some very appealing points.

In the end, WWE is a more complete game compared to last year`s edition. Road to Wrestlemania is a mode that makes you live the spirit of North American wrestling and on the other side the gameplay is refined, allowing exploration of the moves, that are now more diverse. Fantastic animated sequences in a superb visual, with full licenses in wrestling, something hard to find in a rival game. A good option for fans of the genre.

Different difficulties, with the option to replay any chapter of the game on the chosen difficulty, lets us take the desired entertainment from this Gears of War, should it be a running through the fields killing spree without any special precaution in the lower difficulty, or a fight for the strategic upper hand on the higher ones. Many different modes -online, two players or solo- and a frenetic game experience justify the interest in this title.

EndWar is one of those games that with some more time and commitment could reach the higher level of quality. There are graphic flaws as well as flaws due to the involvement of the player in the story and these only take away from the quality of this game by Ubisoft.

Quantum of Solace is an FPS that could be just another one among many but it distinguishes itself with its third person action elements and in the way that it captures the essence of the secret agent. It should appeal to 007 fans and for them it becomes a source of entertainment that joins two passions, the taste of the films and videogames. If you are a James Bond fan and if you would like to relive the films then this game is for you.

Resistance 2 is not perfect but it is one of the best games I`ve had the pleasure of playing on Playstation 3 and this generation, there`s no way around it. The score does not mean perfection, it refers to the quality of the game that lets it distinguish itself from others in the genre. The epic campaign would be itself more than enough to secure a high score but Insomniac gives us cooperative and competitive modes that raise the game to a superior level. Resistance 2 is a epic that should be alongside any Playstation 3.

Fans of dungeon games might find some benefit here, because Away can offer some challenging missions. The big problem is that its basic idea makes the game almost always a boring experience.

More than reinventing a game, Bethesda could assure a desirable evolution. In a world devastated by the war, the beauty of the entire environment is the greatest step in Fallout 3.

Motorstorm Pacific Rift is tagged by the lack of a Single Player experience capable of offering a desire for replayability. The game offers a good sense of brutality, velocity and chaos, but the multiplayer experience is the best of all.

For a younger player – the target audience of this game- this simplicity could be seen as an advantage. A main feature to point out is the fact that the whole game is located to Portuguese (some translations are dubious but nothing that distorts the sentences or the game) an attitude from Electronic Arts that is worthy of compliments.

Despite projecting a tendency for high speed, only after the intensive adaption process to the turning and cornering is conquered coupled with the disposition to go through many falls will players be able to achieve some fun and compensation. Even with few play modes, Moto GP08 manages to be a good experience for fans.

The fans of “pop quiz Hollywood” will find this Box Office Smash capable of offering constant and permanent challenges that will test your knowledge about the world of cinema.

LittleBigPlanet is effectively “The Next Big Thing” in the videogame’s world, a game where the imagination, the feelings, the cooperation, friendship, beauty and genius are hand in hand.

Guitar Hero: World Tour is not just one of the most important games of the series but probably the most important for it could establish a before and after as it also assumes the same responsibility as the genre itself. The days of solitude are over (unless you don’t want them to be over) because now Guitar hero becomes the most enjoyable way to socialize bringing the worlds of videogames and music together.

Fable 2 offers a experience with a reasonable durability and a good sense of humour. If you like the genre or if you are just starting in this kind of game, Fable 2 is a solid offer.

Still, we stand before a memorable and highly recommendable game to the lovers of quality. An amazing story like few nowadays and a mixture of very well recreated elements that once again make Bioshock a game to have in mind.

Far from brilliant, Web of Shadows is a weak game in practically every aspect, the repetitive scheme combined with the camera and gameplay problems mean this game has no glow. Eventually fans of the hero may feel the need for another game but even those must pay attention to its flaws.

Lovers of linear FPS`s and those with aversion to exploration of wide sceneries - as if you were a boy scout - may not find fun in the huge world of Far Cry 2. Still, the fun multiplayer alongside the very complete and intuitive map editor, may justify this game for those who do not like the solo mode.

Eternal Sonata is a recommended action RPG. Nevertheless, its structure is highly linear and the fighting system may not appeal everyone, but its impressive visuals are something that can easily delight everyone.

Rock Band 2 may be considered one of the best in the genre, if not the best. If you are a fan of the genre and like large doses of fun, then do not hesitate, Rock Band 2 is waiting for you.

Confrontation is only one game among many of its kind, which will only be played by elite players and clans. All others who only want to play for a few hours and dream with a new generation experience just choose another game.

Dead Space is, no doubt, one of the best games of the year. The game has a unique environment and visuals that can make all of the Survival Horror fans go mad. This one is indispensable but we aware you, we are not responsible for the laundry service.

If you look at the package as a whole, you will see that the best of the game is precisely the fighting system and the fun you can get while playing it with friends, or if you are lucky enough to get into an Online match. Fans of the series will probably find in Urahara an entertainment for long hours.

Silent Hill Homecoming is a game more inclined to action than to terror. Although not the best in the genre, fans of the series will find a good experience here.

What really matters is that Disaster: Day of Crisis is a funny experience (and, in some way, can be also attractive) right from the beginning, offering an unexpected longevity, thanks to the many difficulty settings and the optional missions.

Brothers in Arms: Hell`s Highway can only be recommended to fans of the series, because of its mixture of strategic and frenetic action this game will not please fans of any to those two components. Still, it is not a bad game but loses to the competition and only fans of this series will know how to appreciate it.
