A nice action / role playing game, but you have to invest a lot of hours before the good things start to unfold.

Pure grindhouse and stupidly fun. Not very recommended if you already played it on the Wii, but if not you will probably like its irreverent and adolescent attitude.

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.

The sequel is far worse than the original game. We don't know if it was lack of development time, budget or ideas, but Mafia II is not what 2K promised to fans.

Don't expect complex puzzles like the ones found on braid or the frenzied action of Castle Crashers, but Raskulls is a fun game very worth of your time and money.

BattleForge is a very original game that covers different genres and factors. It can't be compared to any other game.

The Evil Within is a game to respect and cherish, one made by a creator, Shinji Mikami, who is not afraid to learn new things, but is more interested in refining what he knows how to do best.

This is not a game for hardcore Magic fans, as those will find frustrating the inability to create a customised deck. But it's a great game for novice players and those interested in having a fun multiplayer game.

Lego Rock Band is a fun game, but clearly inferior to any other game of the franchise.

Still a mix between simulation and arcade racing, but GRID Autosport has enough options to adapt the experience to any kind of gamer, at the expense of polarising many of them.

Maybe its indie-and-simple looks might not look very appealing, but if you give this game an opportunity you'll see it's a unique and very entertaining offering. Being the first game from BrokenRules, a small team from Vienna, we can only take our hats off to it.

We expected a bit more from a game that aspired to become the new king of the arcade racing genre.

The best 1200 Microsoft Points you can invest right now. Shank plays on the same league as Limbo, Trials HD or Braid: it's short and simple, but fun and refreshing.

It's not a bad game, but we think that Square could have done a much better job with such an attractive material.

A must have for people who love puzzles, but the rest won't be playing it for more than two or three hours.

This first chapter is merely an introduction, so you might want to wait to see how the story evolves if you're not a huge fan of the TV series.

Not only an honest tribute to the classic Capcom game, but also a sincere love letter to Disney's original TV series.

A decent game that can provide hours of fun, but there are better offerings and its price tag might be a bit too high.

A very solid role playing game, capable of even winning in some aspects to major videogames from this genre like The Witcher or Neverwinter Nights 2. The worst problem, though, it's a subpar storyline.

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

Sonic 4 is what fans of the blue hedgehog have been waiting: a lightning fast 2D platform game that recovers what made the original game a true classic.

If you like the films you really should play this game, if not there are much better adventures on the market.

If you like games that allow you to be as crazy as possible, you should play Prototype 2.

Battlestations Pacific has easy controls that will attract to people that are not used to simulation games, but those who are looking for one will find a game that seems easy but has a lot of potential on its multiplayer mode.

A great game that repeats the same mistake of previous entries: it takes too long to appreciate its full potential, so at first it might not seem as appealing as it really is.

The campaign is short but intense, and the multiplayer is one of the best that you can now play on consoles.

A nice and unexpected goal for a handheld living the end of its cycle.

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

A great remaster of a great adventure game, very recommended if you already played it twenty years ago or if it's your first time.

Valkyrie Profile: Convenant of the Plume has one of the most dark and dense histories we remember in a game. The new combat system, though, is a big mistake as it makes the game monotonous instead of fast and direct.

Capcom has not produced good work with Resident Evil 6 and the franchise will have a difficult time recovering from this blow.

A nice and unexpected goal for a handheld living the end of its cycle.

This is the perfect example of the Japanese RPG that we learned to love in the past two decades.

Not as good as Capcom promised, as Case Zero was much better, but you'll have to pay for it if you want to enjoy the true ending for Dead Rising 2.

A new strategic concept for a very entertaining game, which has been very well ported to Sony's portable system.

One of the best JRPGs of the current generation. Resonance of Fate will uncertainly get a cult following.

The game never finds its place between being an arcade or a simulation, making this another strange title for Wii that won't find a huge audience able to forgive its problems.

Binary Domain is like a Frankenstein of ideas and concepts that work well, but it ends up not being better than many other games.

If you want to have a good time with friends remembering old rap classics Def Jam Rapstar is a good investment.

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.

Katamari Forever is more a homage to the franchise than a new entry. It might to be enough for the fans, but it's great for people who enter this surreal world for the first time.

Its lack of ambition is too obvious. Graphics, sounds and control are good, but it has no emotion and has no surprises.

Invite some friends, grab some beers, SingStar Queen and a couple of mics and you'll have everything you need for a memorable evening singing classics like Under Pressure or Somebody to Love. It's only flaw is that many songs were already available on the SingStore.

The remastering process is not as good as we expected, but those three games are still quite fun and addictive.

If Just Dance was the king of social games, this sequel improves the formula even further. If you want to make a party at your own house right now Just Dance 2 is your best bet to be successful.

Besides an interesting story, The Secret World's most important feature is a new character progression system, but there are also many things that Funcom needs to fix.

A nice fighting game with great graphics, but the adventure mode is just horrible.

The sequel is far worse than the original game. We don't know if it was lack of development time, budget or ideas, but Mafia II is not what 2K promised to fans.

Great production values are not surprising in a game coming from Crytek, but it's a shame that Fibble confuses 'casual gaming' with 'too easy gaming'.

The new Syndicate works especially well in its cooperative mode, where the whole reboot idea is completely justified.

Not a new step in the genre, but Rocketbirds shows a refined formula that works beautifully.

A better arcade fighting game than expected, PlayStation All Stars is pretty interesting thanks to the Cross-Buy option.

A great way of experiencing Move while we wait for hardcore games.

Recommended for platform game fans, but it's a shame that Ubi has not improved a bit a dated formula from 2003.

Mini Ninjas is not an excellent game, but it's a very recommendable title for all ages.

Rios and Salem certainly don't lack charisma, but this saga won't fulfill all of its potential until it stops gathering ideas from other games.

Shadow Fall shows what Sony's new machine is able to do in terms of graphics, but behind its beautiful façade there's a by the numbers first person shooter that you won't remember in a few months.

It could have been much better, but also much worse. You won't regret giving this game an opportunity.

A good game that never finds its place: Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed is much better, and ModNation Racers offers the same build/share/play philosophy.

Exactly the kind of the change needed by the franchise, although this new game depends too much on luck and randomness.

It's more or less the same tribute to Nintendo's 8 bit era as the first NES Remix, but this time the game selection is stronger and the level design a bit better.

Maxis has filled this tenth expansion with a lot of content, but The Sims 3 starts to feel a bit overboard.

This is not an instant classic like the first or second entries in the Silent Hill franchise, but it's clearly one of the best games in this genre for a portable console.

You never truly become the character, and that's the reason why this virtual world does never feel fully interesting.

Scribblenauts Unlimited only extends the vocabulary, but with no clear direction. We hope the developers reconsider their strategy for the next game if they want to save what once was a great idea.

If you've bought the PlayStation Move and like platform games mixed with puzzles then you should really give Funky Lab Rat an opportunity.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a game that won't be a significant part of gaming history, but it's an entertaining one while it lasts. Its classical arcade playability, ultraviolence and charismatic main character make Raven's game a great option for fans of the comic and the movie it's based on.

It's a nice game, but shows quite a few mistakes in some key areas.

Playing MotoGP 14 in a nextgen console only emphasizes the feeling of playing an outdated game with low detailed textures and confusing physics.

The best thing about A Story About My Uncle is its scenery design, which will often leave you with your mouth open, but the rest of the game is not that great.

The best thing about Always Sometimes Monsters is that it shows that videogames can tell everyday stories with an astounding proximity.

A real surprise and a good adventure, although it's a shame the last levels aren't very inspired and there are some clear mistakes in gameplay design.

It's entertaining, but it doesn't add anything new besides the combat arenas. We recommend it to hardcore inFamous fans or people who haven't played any game of the franchise yet and can use this as a cheap entry point to it.

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

This should have been bundled with Kinect instead of Kinect Adventures: it's competitive, social and fun.

Clearly one of the best translations to a game from Akira Toriyama's classic manga that we've seen.

In Warp your manual skills are more important than your intelligence, something that doesn't seem quite right in a puzzle game.

As Lords of Shadow, Mirror of Fate stands out not only for its massive amount of content, but also for some well polished gameplay mechanics, like it's great combat system.

Close Quarters provides those short rushes of adrenaline that sometimes we missed, although it's a shame that it only adds four new maps.

Pure classical gameplay, a first person shooter that's more like the original Doom than a modern game.

This expansion is light on innovative gameplay mechanics, but gives you plenty of new activities.

It will make you scream, but not because of fear. It will cause you pain, but not in a figured way. And it will give you nightmares, but for motives that are not even related with its storyline.

If we should compare Prinny to other game, we would compare to Mega Man, because of its distinct visual style and the sadistic difficulty.

The amount of content that Level-5 offers in this game is enormous and can last you for months.

Simple and short, yes, but also one of the purest arcade games for the next generation consoles. A must have for classic game lovers.

A must have for racing fans with a PS2, Arctic Edge is a game that can look face to face at successful franchises like Burnout and Need for Speed.

Rain recalls some kind of sensitivity unusual in videogames, but you can't forgive that it's also a game with many things that could have been done much better.

We just hope that Timegate manages to get more time and liberty for their next multiplayer project, as the campaign present on Section 8 is just terrible.

There's a huge difference playing this game alone or with friends. Its single player experience is not the best option in the Xbox 360 Arcade Marketplace, but this changes 180 degrees if you want it for multiplayer purposes.

The best thing about Unity is its incredibly detailed portrayal of a city of Paris that looks more alive than any other scenario in Ubisoft's long running franchise.

Not as fun as Mario Kart or Smash Bros. when played with some friends, but still a pretty good party game anyway.

This is a really addictive game, attractive for any gamer. It's only flaw is that most of its matches last more than an hour and a half, but you'll also enjoy the chance to create teams and raise their levels like you would do on a MMO.

The script and puzzles are quite good, but this is not the brilliant return from Ron Gilbert that we expected.

Divinity II is a very solid game, and all that Gothic 3 should have been.

Simple gameplay mechanics that never fulfill their potential are something that drag a beautiful game with an attractive aesthetic.

Quotation forthcoming.

Not a total disaster, but we expected much more from it. Reloaded is a game that doesn't stand out in anything and will be easily forgotten in the most competitive genre of the gaming market.

Five or six years ago The Splatters could have been one of the most addictive games on Xbox Live Arcade, but nowadays there are much better options.
