Just like Streets of Rage or Mutation Nation, this game is a simple and primitive 2D beat 'em all that manages to speak to nostalgic gamers with its pixilated graphics and great MIDI soundtrack... A very good recipe.

Well polished at every level, whether the playlist or lining, Dance Central boasts an exemplary degree of finish and a great recognition of movements.

The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile splashes blood all over the Xbox Live marketplace again, this time with more tools and balance than in Dead Samurai. A valuable 2D beat'em up at a valuable price.

By dint of obstinacy, Treyarch delivers probably its best with Black Ops Call of Duty to date - but probably not the best in the saga.

The Precinct won't appeal to everyone. Its serious approach, its desire to make you take responsibility, its disenchanted atmosphere, and its offbeat gameplay choices won't please fans of easy action or total freedom. But for players looking for a different kind of action game (and for roleplay enthusiasts), with a real underlying vision and intelligent gameplay, it's an experience worth trying. Despite the technical hiccups, The Precinct is a game we can only recommend. Because it has substance. Because it dares. And because, beneath its retro crime story style, it surprisingly speaks well about our times.

With its great single player campaign and friendly multiplayer, we could even say that GoldenEye 007 is the best game adaptation of James Bond's adventures, if we expect, of course, the first GoldenEye 007, untouchable.

Very smooth but pretty much deja-vu, God of War : Ghost of Sparta is undoubtedly superior to its predecessor Chains of Olympus. Though, it still suffers the comparison with the Kratos' domestic adventures, in particular because it borrows a lot from the latter and doesn't manage to make its own way.

A case of style over substance. Despite an abysmal scenario and some flaws regarding the core gameplay, The 3rd Birthday remains a technically solid game and an enjoyable experience overall.

The RPG aspect is so dominant that we forgive the technical issues and the lack of artistic ambition […] Deep but ugly, the sign of games that last.

For their first game, Wild Wits has created an adventure story that constantly gives us the impression of making the wrong choice, and the universe is so rich that it's difficult not to succumb. While the card game's mechanics are solid and offer small subtleties to help you stand out from the crowd, the battles still struggle to differentiate themselves from each other and prevent you from varying your approaches.

A fast, fun, pretty and globally mastered game, even if we could regret a rather short content, and a solo career a bit too classic and repetitive.

With such a gameplay on DS, Sonic Colours could have used some more content.

With UFC 2010 Undisputed, THQ delivers a strong second round, but without any surprises.

From the simple but colorful and dynamic polygons of this new Golden Sun DS, it's pretty much the Sega Saturn that stares at us. If only she knew how much we miss her.

Technically superb, the game quickly enough, however, shows its limitations as a "ghost simulator".

While it's hard to ignore some of its flaws, Cronos: The New Dawn is a game that was made with love, and that love is contagious. The plot and time travel elements fit together coherently to offer us an enjoyable story and universe in a setting that is relatively atypical for Western Europeans like us. While the level design is a little too predictable to serve as a solid horror springboard, the same goes for the good idea of merging monsters, which remains too far in the background to be decisive. In reality, it is mainly the balancing act of resource management that will be the real source of anxiety and fear, where every missed shot can cost us dearly.

Even reviewed under punishing conditions and burdened with a technical performance that H. P. Lovecraft would probably have described as “indescribable” at least a dozen times in the same chapter, something still compels us to focus on the strengths that emerge from Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. A diligent and conscientious student of an enduring literary mythos, the game by Big Bad Wolf skillfully lines up its references, but is unlikely to sweep connoisseurs off their feet with a narrative that—even when set in the future—lacks a bit of madness and surprise. It nonetheless remains an investigative game with a gripping atmosphere and rewarding mechanics, and deserves credit for the bold choice of placing its full trust in the player’s powers of deduction.

Constance remains a modest game, yet manages to deliver a lovely experience with the means it has — and you can feel the heart behind it. Still, we would have liked its core progression to be less linear, and for it to fully embrace its original gameplay mechanics to give its combat a bit more flavour. But thanks to its superb art direction, the themes it tackles, and its precision in platforming, it remains an adventure well worth experiencing.

Going through Fort Oasis' ruins feels like revisiting a lost 2000's horror game in the best (and sometimes worst) ways. Well-designed maps with clever secrets are offset by a few unbalanced fights. Total Chaos feels overall like a good nostalgic experience, leaving a positive mark in DOOM's extended family tree.
