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.

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.

We didn't expect much from this game and it turned out to be excellent. Eidos has successfully given new breath to a classic franchise.

The game is really short (four or five hours max), its script is not that good and it has some issues that should have been solved before the final release. We expected much more from this game.

Frenzy and addictive, although there's a lot of difference playing it alone or with friends. It's just a shame that there are few maps and some technical issues.

Looks greats, sounds awesome (Anamanaguchi!) and plays wonderfully. A must have for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Only for diehard fans of the Castlevania franchise. The rest should try the demo version, as the game is a bit special and will not appeal to many gamers.

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

Much better than the movie, but as a game there are far better options than this generic and derivative hack 'n slash.

An excellent game that you can consider the chess of the 21st century.

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

Limbo has brilliant details and some intelligent puzzles, but it has many things that will end up being boring as they're the same as always.

A really great game, terribly funny and very addictive if you love games where character evolution is the key.

An old school japanese RPG that will appeal to fans of the franchise and those who thought that the genre was dying. If you're into this kind of game you really should buy it.

The main problem of Blacklight is that there are much better options in the market. Besides its price and being downloadable, there's nothing that stands out in Zombie's last offering.

Same city, same abilities, same combat system and same graphics. Crackdown 2 is an unsurprising sequel that loses the spark of the first game.

A solid product, with good story and nice graphics. It might not be perfect, but it's always fun and rewarding, although it's a shame that the game is not too long.

The fan-service element is cool, but the rest of the game is just sub-par.

Sin & Punishment 2 is a little gem and a great lesson of how to successfully use motion controllers.

It had everything to be fun and hilarious, but Naughty Bear is tiresome in its mechanics and has a lot of technical flaws.

The idea of publishing a submarine game for a console was as attractive as dangerous. Sadly, Naval Assault is disappointing, failing in almost everything it tries to accomplish.

A very entertaining game on its campaign mode and an excellent sandbox on the Toy Box Mode. A great game not only for kids but for adults, too.

Peace Walker will be remembered in a few years as one of the best games ever made for Sony's PSP.

2008 was the year of Braid, 2009 was the year of Trials HD and 2010 is the year of Joe Danger. This is the best game you can buy right now on the PlayStation Network.

The best golf simulation on the market, but it has no appeal for people who already have the 09 or 10 editions.

A great idea gone wrong. Alpha Protocol might have been good on the design board, but the final game is mediocre.

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

A great game that's better than its 2009 edition in all areas.

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.

Let's say it like it is: Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best 3D platformer of all time and the best game of the current generation.

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.

The sandbox formula is far from dead: with RDR is taking another step forward.

The great surprise from 2010: fun, addictive and visually stunning. It's a brilliant game that will appeal even to those who don't like racing games.

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

A clearly better version than the one for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands is a nice adventure recommended for specially for kids.

Great platformer with a nice nostalgia factor, but too short given its high price.

Lackluster maps and a very very crippled single player experience make us think that this sequel could have been much better.

The best entry yet in the Skate franchise, and the best skateboarding simulation ever made for a gaming console.

A true gem for those who feel nostalgia of the old times.

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

A very addictive puzzle game, although the first entry in the series was a bit better.

There are dozens of better games, but few will be remembered because of their frantic action like this one.

It would have been much better if Volatile had given the game some personality, instead of using all ideas from other games like Gears of War, Arkham Asylum or Max Payne.

Nier is a nice game, but its flawed design and dated graphics prevent an original idea to shine with its full potential.

The best game in the Street Fighter franchise, and one of the best fighting games ever made. Buy it, even if you already have Street Fighter IV.

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.

A correct game, but without anything to make it stand out in this genre.

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

One of the best games for the Wii and one of the most important titles for this year. Monster Hunter Tri is a truly XXL game that shows that hardcore games are also possible on Nintendo's console.

A great conversion of one of the greatest arcade games from the nineties.

A great start for the third season of one the most important franchises in the adventure genre.

Conviction is one of the best games in the series, with a new and brilliant control scheme. Sam Fisher's last adventure is one that all Xbox 360 shouldn't miss.

Fans of the TV series might enjoy some scenes of the game, but the rest of the player should escape from the Prison Break videogame.

Avoid at all costs. Playability is awful and even the girls aren't that sexy: they are destroyed by low polygon count models and horrible textures.

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.

Red Steel 2 is one of the best hardcore games for Wii made by a third party. It has some design flaws, but it's really worth playing and a good example that motion controls can be great if they're well used by developers.

Very unrealistic physics and too arcade oriented, something that won't appeal most motorcycle fans.

A title made for a very specific kind of gamer, the ones who love puzzles above anything else.

Even being a simple port with higher resolution and better frame-rates, Perfect Dark is a must buy for all Xbox 360 owners.

It takes a lot of time to learn all the options and mechanics of this RPG, but when this point is reached the experience is quite rewarding and fun.

EA tried something different with the closure of the Tiberian saga, but the result is far from what was expected.

Metro 2033 has the best atmosphere we've seen in a videogame in months. Its combat system might be flawed, but it's an excellent experience anyway.

If you played the first to games in the franchise you'll like this one even more. And if you didn't, you're going to love God of War 3.

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

This is not only the greatest game yet in the Pokémon franchise, but also one of the best you can purchase right now for the Nintendo DS.

This is not only the greatest game yet in the Pokémon franchise, but also one of the best you can purchase right now for the Nintendo DS.

A game that was great, is great and will be great forever.

The characters are not just puppets and have their own different personalities, which provides Chaos Rising a dramatic tension never seen before in the RTS genre.

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.

Great production values and attention to detail, but its slow pace and complexity can be a problem for many players.

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

Still fun and intense, but there's no justification for the frequent slowdowns.

A good RTS, but it almost seems like if it was made as an introduction for the first game.

Even better than the 360/PS3 game. A must buy for fans of God of War: Chains of Olympus.

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

Heavy Rain is disturbing, immersive, has a great script and can be played by everyone, regardless of his experience with videogames. You really should be buying it right now.

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.

It might be too similar to Mario Kart, but the races, which are the core of the game, are very fun and enjoyable.

Exactly the same we've been playing for the last fourteen years. The Metal Slug series really need some innovation as soon as possible.

Lost in Nightmares is exactly what Resident Evil 5 should have been from the very beginning.

Besides a great setting, some good multiplayer modes and the the two creatures' charisma, this is your average FPS. Not a bad game, but we expected much more from Rebellion.

Strikeforce is only recommended for fans of the one vs. all beat 'em up genre.

It's more of the same, yes... but that's exactly what everyone who wanted to return to Rapture desired from the sequel.

A nice action game with a great setting, but far too similar to what we've already seen in the God of War franchise.

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

It looks like your average JRPG, but it's more like a MMORPG. White Knight Chronicles is fun, but it lacks some spark and could have been much better.

A correct game, but we encourage buyers to get the PC version, which has an online league that really makes the difference.

Mass Effect not only is the best RPG of this generation, but also an excellent action game that will appeal a broader audience. It's one of those few titles that we'll still be talking about in many years to come.

Clearly one of the best fighting games you can find right now for the Wii console.

Zipper Interactive has tried something different with success. MAG is an ambitious project that adds some interesting new mechanics to the online FPS genre.

Just a very simple nostalgic entertainment.

Dark Void doesn't stand out in a crowded genre; it's just another another action game that never fulfills its potential.

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.

This is just an update of the old game using a modern engine, but also a fun game with an old school flavour.

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.

Eurocom's latest game lacks ambition. It has nice graphics, but the sports are incredibly simple when you play them.

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.
