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.
