Battlefield 1943 is one of the best Xbox Live Arcade ever, with a gorgeus graphic and an excellent and well crafted online mode.

Enjoyable for a bunch of afternoons. That's all: and old style arcade game; easy to play, but without dept and far away the thrill of simulation.

Arma 2 retains the philosophy of Operation Flashpoint, ad offers a realistic war experience, with no compromises. The gameplay is full of opportunity: the strategic and tactical freedom given to the player grants an excellent dynamism. Obviously, the title is difficult, deep, ad suitable for resolute players. But, after all, War has never been a bed of roses.

Creepy level design, inaccurate controls, and a ugly art design: Cid the Dummy is a videogame that even the platform fans won't appreciate.

The first chapter of Tales of Monkey Island was a nice surprise.The mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood is back and for the older fans of the monkey island saga this is a must buy.

Very similar to the first game of the series (Bit.Trip Beat), this chapter has nice visuals and a good soundtrack.

Quotation forthcoming.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a modest tie-in. Creepy graphics and simple (too simple!) gameplay do not convince neither the hardcore gamer nor the Harry Potter fan.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood takes all the best features of his prequel a further step ahead. With strong graphics, always fresh gameplay, an interesting plot and a bit of humor, Bound in Blood reaches the high grades in our rankings, being one of the best FPS in the business.

Despite the low number of character, this is one of the best 2D beat'em ups of this generation.

Is not even a Game, but a psycho-geography experiment. Despite its nature, Treasure World is an interesting software, suitable for collectibles maniacs.

Battlefield Heroes is a casual gamer title. All the Battlefield series hardcore gamers will find this title pretty boring and poor of contents and tactics. But it's completely free-to-play, so it worth a try from everyone.

"Total" is the only adjective to describe Fight Night Round 4. The perfect balance of refined gameplay and astonishing graphics, it recreates the truly simulative boxing experience of this generation. EA Sports scores another Knock Down!

The Conduit is the first real alternative to Metroid Prime. Rich gameplay and a solid control scheme make High Voltage Software's title a fun and complete experience, also thanks to a good multiplayer section. Despite the previous declarations graphics are "only" good.

A perfect spin-off, that mix up the classic gameplay of Megaten saga with tactical elements.

Transformers 2 is a mediocre title that cannot stand with the other productions seen during this generation.

One of the worst PSP games. Repetitious and ugly-to-see, you should avoid this version of Transformers.

Finally, a deep and complex strategical experience on our consoles. Control scheme is perfect, and Dawn of Discovery shows a great variety and a nice look.

Overlord 2 adds some new interesting features at the core gameplay mechanics of the prequel. Even if the repetitivity of the quest system is already there, the game offers some new variables and a lot of fun.

Press any key. Repeat. That's all.

Nice idea: an "evil" copy of Phantom Hourglass. But without fantasy, soul and a precise control system. Epic Fail?

A nice Control System and an humorous adventure seem solid "pros", but the adventure is really short, and the technical aspect is not so exciting.

Art Style: BoxLife has an original gameplay, and it adds a nice twist to the genre. Nice graphic and cool soundtrack are distinctive marks of art style series.

Dawn of Discovery is a work of art. The game has a solid gameplay, superb technical features and requires only middle-class hardware to work properly. However, the lack in multiplayer features is a minus to the global quality.

Dawn of Discovery is a traditional game, but thanks to an intelligent control system and a nice strategical depth, the game appears fresh and enjoyable.

A nice alternative version of Ghostbusters, with a more relevant role of environment puzzles and a sweet control scheme. Too bad the cartoon-graphics aren't that good.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game, despite some gameplay issues, features a good variety of situations with a lot of strategy linked to different kinds of weapons and enemies that requires a special attack to be beaten. Also the multiplayer, featuring a lot of fun modes and an unexpected solidity, gives a boost to the game.

Ds version of Ghostbusters does not entertain like the home console versions.
