A good campaign, tons of multiplayer content, access to the Halo: Reach beta and, what's more important, no sights of the Flood.

Great script and solid gameplay mechanics. Possibly the last great adventure for the Nintendo DS.

A great game, and a must have for shmup fans.

This is a swerve in the right direction for the franchise. We don't know if EA will continue this road next year, but it would be a shame not to follow some of the great things SHIFT has come up with.

The story, its great combat system and its sublime production values all work in one direction: submerge the player in the kind of hyperbolic odyssey that only the JRPG genre can offer.

One of the best games in the beat 'em up genre published on XBLA in the recent times. Fan of Treasure and this kind of game? A must have, then.

An incredibly charismatic and elegant game that stands out mixing playability and aesthetics in a really organic way.

The worst thing about Lumines is that it doesn't come bundled with the PlayStation Vita: like Tetris for the Game Boy, this is the kind of puzzle game that defines a new handheld.

UFC 2009: Undisputed is a different fighting game that we really recommend. At first it might be difficult to understand, but when you master its controls the combats offer lots of fun and tension.

It could have been a bit better, but Just Cause 2 is a great videogame with good graphics, and a specially fun one during its first ten hours.

Resistance 3 is the peak point in the franchise Insomniac's been working those latest years. It may or may not be too late, but it's a great game nonetheless.

Twenty hours of intense and brilliant gameplay that recover the spirit of the original game.

It has some minor flaws and its combat system could have been better, but Darksiders is a really nice game that will appeal specially to people who liked games like Zelda or God of War.

One of those games that you must play, Monaco is innovative, funny and cleverly designed.

Sucker Punch has fixed everything that was annoying on the first inFamous, making a great sequel that ends up being one of the best games for PS3 this Summer.

Arguably, a triple A game made for kids, a solid product that's fun and entertaining but not that unforgettable.

An excellent basketball game. It does not have any radical changes. Even minor corrections maintain it as the unrivaled king of the genre.

An atypical fighting game, but one of the best that you can play to introduce yourself to the genre.

This is not just a cash cow for Electronic Arts. 2010 FIFA World Cup adds some interesting ideas and its purchase just depends on how much you like this competition.

If you wanted a reason to buy a PlayStation Vita here's the perfect one, but what's more important is that Sony's handheld is a key element of what makes this game so good.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of classic Pokémon games, but they also add some great stuff that shows another step in the evolution of an incredibly successful franchise.

There's no detachment between the image, the sound and the player's actions. Everything works perfectly and makes each minigame an extremely amusing experience.

Even with some minor flaws Sigma 2 manages to become the best hack 'n slash game available for PlayStation 3.

A great game and one of this year's most pleasant surprises.

Rhythm Paradise is as awesome as it is difficult to explain how great it is. It should be the reference for future music games, as well as those based on short minigames.

It's easy to recommend Hitman Absolution, a game that provides chills and emotion although lacks the charisma and polish that you expect from this kind of production.

We're not sure if this is the best Call of Duty of this generation, but we're convinced Treyarch has produced the most complete one since the first Modern Warfare.

Alan Wake lacks that little spark of genious that distinguishes a good game from a masterpiece, an H.P. Lovecraft from your average Stephen King.

A notable addition to Drangleic's world map, but only truly advisable for die hard fans of the original game.

Quotation forthcoming.

At the end, what matters is not if CS:GO is innovative or more of the same than CS: Source, what counts is if it's fun. And CS:GO couldn't be better in this regard.

Tropical Freeze is exactly what we expected from the sequel of one of the best platform games of the last generation. There might not be many surprises, but this is still an extremely polished (and great) game.

Not as good as the first game, but still the best tactical RPG for the PSP.

You'll have to go all the way back to 1993 until you can find a game that delivers this much fun. Telltale, this is how you should have done when you resurrected the adventure genre. Beware, you're not alone anymore…

Nice characters, a simple but deep combat system and a well written story makes difficult to stop playing while this adventure lasts.

Even with some flaws, Dance Central is the best dancing game you can buy. Harmonix has done it again, creating the best launch title for Kinect.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are remakes of classic Pokémon games, but they also add some great stuff that shows another step in the evolution of an incredibly successful franchise.

There's no doubt that NBA 2K10 is still the champion: this is clearly the best basketball game available.

This is not only a great game, it's the best Layton since The Curious Village.

With a new lighting system and a better frame-rate, this is Pinball Arcade's best version yet. There are not many new things if you already have it on another platform, but it is arguably the best pinball game ever.

A hit and miss. PES2015 is years behind of what we've come to expect from a soccer game, and it's still no competitor to FIFA.

This is the best game with the Mario Kart formula that we've seen in many years.

This is just another step forward for the series, which keeps getting better jokes, better characters and a better script.

Bizarre has produced an excellent mix of Mario Kart, Wipeout and Project Gotham Racing. Not very original, but incredibly fun.

It tries to expand the first game's experience by adding more length and difficulty, but a bad balance makes it a slightly worse game.

An old school game, plenty of love in every pixel, with great ideas but also some minor flaws. Tea time has never been this fun.

Duet is a little gem that many will overlook... and it's a shame, because it has an excellent design that will capture you for hours.

The formula might be the same and it's not as visually surprising, but this sequel for DS will appeal new players as well as those who already played Okami.

This is retro at its best, a perfect example of how to renovate a three decade old franchise.

Brutal Legend is a love letter to heavy metal. Content is excellent, but the game is not as great as we expected when we talk about its playability.

Kero Blaster shows once again the enormous talent of Daisuke Amaya as a designer. It has so much to offer that you'll find impossible to forget its great world.

New Vegas is an excellent game, a great follow-up to Fallout 3 and is much more than a simple expansion.

A great opportunity to revisit the most influential first person shooter of the last decade.

You have to accept Rising for what it is and not expect your average Metal Gear: there might be stealth, yes, but this is pure hack 'n slash... and the best one since Bayonetta, actually.

A great game that will keep fans busy until Square Enix finally makes the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3.

As True Detective did months ago, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter shows its cards and lets the player decide which ones are important, asking them to be both the spectator as well as the engine that drives the game.

It has everything that made LittleBigPlanet so good, but lacks its magic. As a kart game is derivative and not as good as the king of the genre (Mario Kart), but its creative tools are what shine in this interesting package.

Delta is not a sequel, just an extended game that polishes the original in order to create a great foundation for the more than likely Soul Sacrifice 2.

An adventure game that will specially appeal to those who fancy a good story and a very detailed fantasy world.

SSX is a great game for anyone who loves videogames, not only for those who love snowboarding: the snow is just an excuse to provide you a lot of fun.

The perfect excuse to return to a franchise that seemed to have reached it's highest point on it's first entry. The gameplay changes are great for experienced players, while the new episodes offer great value for the novices.

Blacklist is a nice start for Ubisoft Toronto, a game that closely follows Conviction's steps.

It's difficult to explain with words what makes a game so great that actually doesn't use them at all.

One of the best games you'll play this year: adult, intelligent and very refreshing.

Bleach: Dark Souls is a good fighting game, focusing on the most important aspect: its playability. It might no be revolutionary, but it's a good game considering that it's based on a license.

Wildstar has three main features to differentiate itself in the crowded MMORPG market: accessibility, mobility and a great sense of humor.

Another good fighting game made by Ed Boon and NetherRealm, with enough personality and new features to distinguish itself from Mortal Kombat.

To the Moon is more a narrative experience than a game, but a quite touching one.

Clearly following Diablo's steps, this is a game that makes a virtue of its simplicity. The biggest flaw is the low number of scenarios, something we expect to be fixed on the upcoming Torchlight 2.

Enjoyable like an old arcade but with visuals suitable to our times, Renegade Ops is one of the best downloadable games we've seen these last months.

VVVVVV is the result of a strong introspection of the platform genre, where Terry Cavanaugh studies the past while creating something new for the future.

We will just say that we can't stop playing it until dawn, even having to go to the office the next morning. That's how great this game is.

A good Call of Duty, better than Ghosts. It's a nice step forward for the franchise, that will give hope to fans who were skeptical about its future.

If you grew up in the 80s, playing with G.I. Joes, watching movies like Red Dawn and whistling the Top Gun theme, this is a fun trip back to your childhood. It's not as innovative as the first Toy Soldiers, but we can't think of a better way to end this season's Summer of Arcade.

A great puzzle game with one of the most beautiful settings seen on the Xbox Live Arcade.

Captain Toad is a perfect example of technology at service of playability, a game where design is everything.

You should give a try to Lego Batman 2: it's a fun and pleasant experience for players of all ages.

This is a great game, even considering that it's actually the same one we've been playing since 2007, with little or no changes to its formula.

A true gem. One of the best downloadable games of 2010.

Everything you can expect from a tower defense game can be found here; only the inherent limitations of the genre can be criticized in it.

The original PC version is still the best, but playing this on a console is quite an achievement.

RAGE is a giant step for id Software, a team proud of its legacy but brave enough to explore a lot of new ideas. It's a must-have for first person shooter fans and people who enjoy a more classical gameplay.

This is the least innovative entry on the franchise, but The Creative Assembly introduces enough new things to justify Napoleon as a new game and not a simple expansion.

A piece of history perfectly translated to Vita, although it's a shame Peace Walker gets lost in the process.

It's a fifteen years old game, but even if you played it before it's very entertaining and one of the best games available for the Nintendo 3DS.

Gran Turismo 6 finishes what Gran Turismo 4 started. It's not a revolutionary game, but one that improves everything and adds a lot of content.
