A great follow up to Kinect Sports and step in the right direction for Kinect powered games, although it's still a fact that the sensor does not always detect our movements well.

It's still the best in its genre, but maybe it's time to try new paths.

Wayforward's greatest achievement is creating a fun game that respects the original material it's based on.

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

Hell can adopt many forms, but it's clear that if it were a videogame it would be called Dark Souls. It's not for everyone, but those brave enough will enjoy it a lot.

If you're looking for a simulator this is not your kind of game, but for the rest it's a very entertaining and cinematic experience worth a try.

The campaign can be a bit disappointing, but with Naughty Dog still in another league, and with a great co-op and multiplayer, Uncharted 3 is a game you shouldn't miss.

Fresh and with plenty of personality, Battlefield 3 not only avoids Modern Warfare's shadow but raises itself as the new king of the genre.

Forza 4 wins the race because it's much more than just the cold numbers of a car database: it's a bigger concept, one based on pure passion for cars and the motor world. If Forza 3 was the best driving game for the Xbox 360, Forza 4 is the best driving game of this generation.

There are too many things in this game that simply don't work, making EA or THQ's offerings much more attractive.

Even if the decision of publishing it on retail format instead of digitally is a bit controversial, The Gunstringer is a fun game that works quite well with Kinect.

It's just a great idea, updated to modern standards and with no other intention than being extremely fun. And it succeeds in it.

RedLynx does it again with one of the best games available on the WiiWare service.

If you didn't play this on the Dreamcast or the PS2 you should try Code Veronica HD, as it's one of the best entries in the franchise. It's just a shame they didn't update it enough to make it look like a modern game.

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.

Quotation forthcoming.

The conversion work is a bit rough, but Radiant Silvergun is still one of the best shmups ever published. Considering the prohibitive price the original Saturn game has on eBay, 1200MSP for it can be considered the bargain of the year.

Those are remakes worthy of two timeless classics. They were considered as must have for PS2, and they should be considered the same for the PS3.

It's still a great game for racing fans, but with this sequel we expected a little bit more of polish.

SEGA deserves some respect for trying, but this fails (again) as becoming "the Kinect game for hardcore players".

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.

It's price is too high and it offers almost anything for those who played it on Gamecube or PS2. If you've never played it, though, maybe you should do so with the Wii version, which added a great use of the Wiimote.

Maybe having the Burnout name on it makes you expect something else, but as for what it is, a cheap downloadable game, Crash provides some fun for a reasonable amount of time.

It's still fun and there will be people who will prefer this to FIFA. But, in our opinion, it has too many flaws that should have been fixed long ago.

FIFA has changed and you, as a player, will do so. FIFA 12 is the most realistic soccer game in this generation and the best one ever made.

With Gears of War 3, Epic played it safe: they took a proven formula and improved it enough in order to keep fans pleased. It's the best looking game for Xbox 360 and a very fun one to play too (specially with friends), although it's a shame they have not kept their promises about having a better plot and narrative, which are still subpar. Not a perfect game and not the best of this generation, but I can't think of a better way to finish a trilogy that, in some senses, marked an era.

Fans of the Warhammer universe will love its setting and plot, and the way it plays, although not perfect, is brave and original.

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.

Even with bugs and many things that should have been polished, Techland's latest effort is quite fun and not just another typical zombie game.

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.

When we first heard of the Shifting mechanic we thought this would be a total disaster. We couldn't be more mistaken: the new Driver is not only innovative, but also one of the greatest arcade racing games we've seen in some time.

You may love it or hate it, but El-Shaddai was necessary for the industry, a risky game that tries something different and innovative.

The remastering process made by Ready at Dawn is impeccable. We recommend this second Collection especially to Kratos' fans, but it has enough quality to appeal other players.

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.

Bodycount is an action game that tries to be different, showing some good and honest ideas, but in the end fails miserably in a crowded genre that allows no mistakes.

Human Revolution succeeds in the always difficult task of updating a cult classic. The action/stealth missions, the experience system and the game's ability to adapt itself to each player are exemplary; it's just a shame that the scenario and the story, while being solid, are not as perfect.

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.

It's not a masterpiece or a revolution in the genre, but Bastion is a great game and the best way to start the new Summer of Arcade season.

It's a shame we don't see games like From Dust more often. It doesn't get repetitive, it's entertaining and shows like no other how a great power comes with a great responsability.

A nice surprise and possibly the last great RPG for the Nintendo DS, Solatorobo is a craftsmanship work by CyberConnect2 that deserves public recognition.

The American football game for those who don't like American football, as it rules out simulation in favor of an arcade obstacle course. Its price might be a bit too high considering its roots as an iPhone game, but this is pure fun while it lasts.

Needs fresh ideas, more new content and less recycling of old material. You can make a good game based on a great extra mode like Mercenaries, but this 3DS game is just not that.

Short, boring and not very inspired. This is exactly what we feared about Move: a rerun of Wii's worst mistakes.

A great game to introduce yourself to Magic and a worthwhile challenge to experienced players.

Although being made by Suda 51, Mikami and Yamaoka, Shadows of the Damned lacks a bit more of ambition. It's a really fun game, but it also has some flaws that prevent it from being excellent.

Mixing the JRPG and MMO genres is a great idea, but with WKC2 Level-5 fails again and gets a mixed result.

This is a worthy succesor to Rez and one of those titles that can justify the eternal discussion arguing if games are a form of art.

Ocarina of Time is just gorgeous on 3DS. It's incredible how well this game has aged, and even more impressive how this version managed to fix the few flaws the N64 original had.

Make no mistake, Duke Nukem Forever is not a good game. But although it's easy to point out its many flaws, most people are forgetting its most important feature: Duke's return is quite entertaining, even if it's an outdated game that looks like it's from 2005 and plays like it's 2001.

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.

This shows why Volition is a great studio capable of making great games. Armageddon will not make history, but it will keep you entertained for many hours.

As expected, it's a fun game for children, but the problem is that the formula begins to show its age and the experience is too limited.

It's the perfect racing game for short plays and direct fun when friends came over to your house.

Don't expect anything new with Gatling Gears: it's just a simple and fun downloadable game based on what we used to play on arcades in the eighties.

As a low budget game Sniper is quite enjoyable, but keep in mind that many action games published this year (or last, for that matter) are much better.

It feels more like a greatest hits compilation of the franchise rather than a new game, but Dimensions is one the best fighting games ever published for a handheld and clearly one the best games available for the 3DS.

You really should play L.A. Noire: it's an adult, interesting and engrossing experience that deserves your attention as well as your money.

Recommended for RTS fans and those who can accept that the first hours are kind of hard, who will be rewarded with a fun and addictive game.

Its visual style might be attractive, but Brink feels rushed with many technical flaws and has almost nothing that can justify its purchase in a genre populated with much better alternatives.

As an arcade game, Virtua Tennis 4 is great and has no major flaws. It's just a shame that Top Spin 4 is better in almost everything, making SEGA's effort almost incidental.

A great surprise: Mortal Kombat is incredibly entertaining, ultra violent and has the greatest selection of single player modes we've seen in the genre these latest years. It may not be as technical and deep as Capcom's fighting games, but it surely is even more fun.

A great option for MMO players, especially those who liked WoW mechanics. But this is Rift's greatest mistake: being too similar to Blizzard's game.

Battlegrounds offers fast entertainment, but it could have been much better for solo play with some more levels.

Portal 2 is an excellent game. Maybe not as powerful as the first one, as it's a different one, but it's intelligent, witty and scathing. You should not miss one of the best scripts you'll see this year.

You'll have a fun time during the six hours this game will last, but it's too simple to be the action RPG many gamers expected it to be.

It's incredible that this game was made by just one guy. Fans of the beat 'em up genre will love its fun and gory style.

A new and fresh direction in the Sims franchise.

A good soccer game that makes an intelligent use of the 3D screen, but we miss the online and Become a Legend modes.

Not as good as we expected: the mix of action and stealth doesn't work too well. It's biggest flaw, though, is not being as faithful with the original as other remakes/sequels of old arcade games.

One of this year's best games for the PSP.

A good arcade driving game, although it reuses too much content from prior entries in the Ridge Racer series, lacks online multiplayer and has dissapointing graphics.

WWE All Stars succeeds in delivering a more friendly wrestling game, but gaming modes being too simple and long loading times are defects to be solved if THQ plans to further evolve this series in the WWE franchise.

The best tennis game ever created. Top Spin 4 is great for experts and newcomers, being a deep simulation as well as an approachable one.

This is one of the best driving games published in this generation of consoles, polishing everything that could be improved in the first game.

Not as good as The Lair of the Shadow Broker, but it's a great offer for fans of the universe created by BioWare, setting interesting events that will be further inspected in Mass Effect 3.

It's the best game in the LEGO Star Wars franchise, but it still has some annoying design flaws that affect gameplay.

A clear cash in on fans of the original movie.

Crysis 2 is not only a technical marvel, it's also a breath of fresh air and a great shooter that tries something different, instead of using again the Call of Duty formula. It's just a shame that some frame-rate issues, bugs and erratic AI prevent it from being excellent.

Puppies that never grow, don't get dirty and are never hungry or thirsty. If only real things were that easy.

Puppies that never grow, don't get dirty and are never hungry or thirsty. If only real things were that easy.

If you already had those games for 360 or PC, Trilogy doesn't add much, but if they're new to you their great design and even better price makes a purchase more than recommended.

Not a bad game, but too short, simple and easy. It serves its purpose as a showcase for the 3DS new features, but it seems that publishing it as a downloadable game was a much better idea.

A great launch title. It's a different experience than the one for bigger consoles, but it's far better than the iPhone port.

A good arcade racing game. The main campaign has some design flaws, but multiplayer is where Evolution Studios' game really shines.

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.

The best boxing game of all time. History and legacy modes are great, and technically is really impressive.

Slightly dissapointing. It's not a bad game but a much worse one than the first chapter of the saga, and we're sure that BioWare can do far better than this.

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.

An excellent remake of one of the best tactical RPGs of all time.

The campaign's history is great, but it's far too short. Multiplayer makes up for that, offering interesting ideas that will keep us busy for a long time.

A great expansion (that you can play without having the original game) designed for Warhammer and Dawn of War II fans, but also a great entry point for people new to the franchise.

Bad design decisions destroy a few good ideas and brief glimpses of quality.

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.

The perfect game for all audiences: easy enough for people that never play videogames, but with enough rewards and incentives for those who have lots of experience. This is the cutest game we've seen in years... and an excellent one, too.

With DeathSmiles Cave offers a pure arcade experience, the kind of shmup that made us fall in love with the company in the 90s.

A great sequel. Maybe we'd liked a bit more difficulty, but with great art direction and lovely characters it's hard to complain about it.
