While not perfect, The Old Republic is probably the most polished MMO on the day of release. EA, LucasArts and Bioware's combined efforts brings us the best of the Star Wars universe and the golden dream of every fan of the saga. Jedi or Sith, this game blasts your brain away.

A great idea, a solid block and with wonderful color. This puzzle is cheap and absolutely essential to 3DS owners. Long and with level editor. Another success of Intelligent Systems.

Team GrisGris delivers a chilling experience that is not to be found on any other handheld, though its graphical appearance is outdated. Corpse Party is one of those games that you should own if you're looking for a different experience than former 'horror-stories' that we've tried so far on PSP.

It's difficult to find a game more crazy and funny than Joe Danger Special Edition, a very good arcade game who once again proves that the simple concepts can be the base for the better games. One of the best games of the year for the Xbox Live.

One of the best games in the series, Sonic CD jump again into home consoles, computers and iOS, in a great conversion from the classic Mega CD Version. And this time with Tails and the japanese/american soundtrack selection option!

Back to Karkand has four maps of Battlefield 2 running with Frostbite 2, three vehicles, ten new weapons and another matchmaking mode. Enough for the frequent Battlefield 3 players, but too expensive: 15 euros for all this content.

Trine 2 is great game and better than the previous one. It is a perfect choice to regain the magic of the platform genre, with an immersive, colorful and nice accomplished atmosphere that invites us to dream in the world of children's stories. It's an entertaining game that will test our ability and wit, but never enough to force you to surrender, but sadly short. You cann't miss the chance to try it.

The Pokémon phenomenon has always captivated users with an incredible catalog of creatures with which to live thrilling and beautiful adventures. This new release, although it has hundreds of Pokémon, forgets this last aspect, and with its linearity it will remind us last chapters out of a world full of toys.

This game doesn't contain the "legacy" of Assault Horizon. It isn't as fun as PS3/360 version, and oversimplifies the experience. However, the 3D effect and being able to carry anywhere is an idea so powerful as an war aircraft.

A day at Disneyland isn't that way. Kinect gets its game maybe larger and more varied, but it isn't exciting and seems slow. Besides, the interpretation of player's movements on screen is not accurate, it isn't fast, creating many gameplay mistakes. Children may like this game a lot, if they are patient.

You can't think of a better Assassin's Creed II finale and the plot of the last chapter of Ubisoft series leaves us wanting more, but new features are presented with a dropper and they definitely aren't a significant advance towards next game. Multiplayer mode is the big winner with Revelations, and it continues its expansion. One thought: it will have far greater importance in the future. A must for every fan of Assassin's Creed.

Tekken Hybrid offers all that a Tekken fan could desire: a 3D film, a revamped classic and a slice of the future of the series. Tekken: Blood Vengeance delivers great action scenes, but as a movie the story is not as interesting as it should. On the other hand, the HD version of Tekken Tag Tournament allow us to recover a great classic of the fighting genre, although it's clearly lacking an online mode. Finally, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue is just a demo of what's comming next year, but we're sure fans will want to put their hands on as soon as possible. In the end, a good package that could be much better.

The King of Fighters XIII has multiple offline modes, balanced mechanics, improved online system and all that one KOF must have. It's a great fighting game, not for everyone, but good contender for Blazblue and Super Street Fighter IV.

After ten years, Serious Sam series has strong symptoms of fatigue in its gameplay. BFE is a frenetic old-school FPS, but the lack of innovation penalizes a title only released for fans of the franchise.

European players didn't have the chance of playing Tales of the Abyss in the past, but now they can. Although it's a trimmed game, with an awful 3D effect, in the end it's a great J-RPG in a handheld system, with many items and surprises. And, of course, it's the same game we've seen several years ago on PlayStation 2.

Anno 2070 is a new and attractive offer for fans of the genre, as it is a clear successor of Anno 1404. But Blue Byte's work still suffers the same defects as always: oversimplification of commercial, diplomatic and military elements. However, this is a high quality title and a perfect choice if you liked any of the Anno series titles. You should not hesitate to colonize the futuristic version of a these great games, although you're not a science fiction fan. And if you've never gone through any Anno-game, you will have a good opportunity to jump into the genre.

Though Mario Kart 7 invents nothing, the game works wonderfully today. 16 new tracks plus 16 remakes, many online matches and an idea that continues to operate successfully. 8 players, 3D effect, fun, and hang gliding.

The Nintendo 3DS version of F1 2011 delivers a good game for fans of the competition. It has some aspects that need to be polished, but overall is a good experience and a great way of enjoying F1 on a handheld system.

Arkham City is still a superb game in PC and it benefits from some extra features with the right PC, but the delay compared to console versions, the weird mix of Steamwork, GFWL and SecuROM, and some initial perfomance settings with DirectX 11, makes this version a missed opportunity to make something truly great for compatible users.

Layton comes back for another year, as always, but he doesn't fail. 170 new puzzles, dozens of extras, mystery, crazy characters and mind challenges. It's the same game, but bigger. Although, regrettably, in Europe version isn't London Life mode.

WWE 12 is not a revolution. It's another Smackdown vs Raw with polished controls and a creation mode full of possibilities. But it has some online problems and an awful Road to Wrestlemania mode.

Traveller's Tales wanted to make Harry Potter's latest adventure his best, and they succesfully made it. This chapter delivers exactly what fans are looking for, that is - tons of spells, unlockable content, +200 characters and plenty of fun for any follower of this franchise.

After Back to the Future, Telltale travels again back in time for its next project. This time to the filmic past of the 90s, a time of really iconic movies like the memorable Jurassic Park, one film that this studio dares to deconstruct through its new game.

Xtreme Legends adds more game modes to the ones offered in Dynasty Warriors 7, completing what was missing in the main game and adding new characters and stories to the Three Kingdoms scenario. Full of unlockable content, what the game lacks it's the same as every other Dynasty Warrior game, if you don't love its repetitive gameplay, you'll hate it.

Kirby's return to Dreamland follows the structure of his earlier adventures, adding co-op features and new mini-games and special power-abilities. As long as you don't expect a sequel to the outstanding Epic Yarn's episode, die-hard fans will be as satisfied as newcomers.

Though there're a few glitches that doesn't makes it the best shooter on Wii, Modern Warfare 3 stands as a well-made adaptation for those who are willing to have a taste on Infinity Ward's latest blockbuster.

Take a good game and make it even better: that's what Cave has done out of DoDonPachi Resurrection Deluxe, a low-cost title that offers an unique gameplay style. Colourful, happy and incredibly outrageous, don't think it twice before buying it.

This game is very much inspired by Super Mario Galaxy, and that's fantastic! Over 100 levels, many challenges, variety and costumes, especially the Tanooki dress. Put the 3D effect to the fullest and enjoy. This game is designed for that. It's the best 3DS exclusive to date.

What more can we say of a game we have been playing and talking about for months? Minecraft is a triumph fueled by imagination and a great community. Sometimes it's frustrating how much it could offer, but that's because it offers a lot already and there is always a hunger for more with such an unlimited approach. With four million of users already, saying "buy it" seems unnecesary, but just in case, do it.

There're a few additions to the original formulae, but it's very much the same experience as the one that we discovered back in the Winter Olimpic Games and in Beijing 2008. Still, it's one of those games that is a blast to play with three or four people.

For everyone that had the question in mind about how 2D platforming would have evolved with the current technology and high production values, Rayman Origins it's the perfect answer. Ancel's game is not only a joy to play, but is excellently designed and inmensely creative, all matched with striking visuals that makes us hope UbiArt technology goes far in this industry.

Despite its best efforts, Need for Speed The Run fails to capitalize on the core strengths of the game. The new engine is great, and the speed sensation is awesome. But the campaign is far too short and the game mechanics are poorly implemented. Rental recommended.

This new entry in the series has almost the same gameplay and visuals, but it delivers a fun experience, with some new features and an engaging story. It's probably the game that every fan of the previous games expected it to be.

A good remake for one of the most important FPS in the last decade, with good Saber3D engine, but not like Halo 3 or Reach. Multiplayer has seven new maps, not enough in comparision with ODST, and online co-op is only for two players, but it's a great experience in general.

After a trajectory of excellency with Oblivion and Fallout 3, Bethesda reaches a new level this generation, showing they have reached maturity in their unique way of making worlds. Thanks to their generosity, will and ambition, single players fans looking for huge worlds of high adventure can still keep dreaming. Skyrim is an absolute triumph.

Timeless masterpiece. This Legend of Zelda takes over from Ocarina of Time. It's a step in the saga and a revolution in the design of third-person adventures. The Wii MotionPlus works perfectly, so the game is especially fun. A gift from heaven!

As interesting as it was Saints Row 2, but fueled with a new hilarious storyline and a few additions that makes it bigger, better and funnier than its predecessors.

There is no doubt Modern Warfare 3 is a great FPS on top of its particular and extremely succesful formula. But when it comes to the PC version, it becomes painfully obvious that this engine has gone as far as it could go in the technical and visual department, especially against the new competition.

It has some good ideas, but it falls short in depth and developing an interesting story. It's an enjoyable game, but it should have been much better, as it seems to lack the faith to try some new things or further develop the main characters.

InMomentum has fun and stellar gameplay, with excellent presentation and an attractive sci-fi setting. Just some glitches slown down the experience; a nice challenge for solo and multi-player gamers.

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition retains the essence of the game by raising its technical level, but it has some obvious differences controlling the character or handling a vehicle. However, the game is much more immersive on its version for PC and this greatly benefits a title with a remarkable story. L.A. Noire is a must for any player... if he did not play it on Xbox630 or PS3.

After a trajectory of excellency with Oblivion and Fallout 3, Bethesda reaches a new level this generation, showing they have reached maturity in their unique way of making worlds. Thanks to their generosity, will and ambition, single players fans looking for huge worlds of high adventure can still keep dreaming. Skyrim is an absolute triumph.

Innocent Sin is an interesting remake that offers very much the same as the original PS's version; tons of playability with a lowclass graphic engine the nevertheless is more than enough to enjoy what this JRPG has to give the die-hard fans of the genre.

Thrilling. Funny. And visually stunning. No, we are not talking about Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 or Batman: Arkham City, but about The Book of Unwritten Tales, one of the most beautiful graphic adventures seen in the last years that now finally comes to Europe.

Disgaea 4 is still Disgaea, but better, improved and with a very welcomed graphical update. Tons of systems and subsystems focused on creating a crazy sandbox where the rules exist to be broken. Add a really good story, charming characters and the, as usual, excellent soundtrack and you have a fantastic entry into the series.

Quotation forthcoming.

Pro Evolution Soccer is back on PlayStation 2 and, as expected, it uses the same visuals and doesn't improve anything, not even the problems with the AI of our defenders. But PS2 user can enjoy a great football game that will offer them many hours of fun if they don't have access to the HD versions.

Gameplay-wise, it's essentially the same game; that is, the best online FPS, an exciting and frantic experience. It offers several game modes, new weapons and balances the perks. Also, the competitive and the cooperative experience in Spec Ops and Survival has been greatly improved. And it has the best campaign yet in a Modern Warfare game. Another headshot from Infinity Ward.

A game specifically designed for the youngest ones from the family. Charming, well produced and full of Disney magic. However, the content feels a bit short and sometimes the game is too obsessed with helping, disrupting the natural flow of the enjoyment with it.

GoldenEye is not the remake many were expecting, and it doesn't live up to the original. GoldenEye is its own game, a new entry in the James Bond series, with good gameplay, but with poor enemy AI and little else new.

Brilliant example of a sadly forgotten subgenre. Overkill is a Gun Game with a lot of entertainment to offer, full of personality and terribly fun. It's too easy and could have more content, but it's a great offer for fans of shooting at the screen.

Cities XL 2012 is just adding a year to Cities XL 2011 with a few new maps and buildings, and providing access to user modifications for first time in the series. If you purchased the previous edition it might be of interest thanks to its discount for previous buyers. If you didn't but wanted to, do not hesitate to buy it now. It's almost the same fun as Cities XL 2011.

Sonic Generations delivers what fans have been looking for with a successful combination of classic and modern gameplay, both of them polished and highly replayable, making this latest Sonic game the path to follow for future releases.

A worthy update of a really good game. Still insanely hard, but full of neat touches, great designs and interesting ideas, making it a good game for players looking for something different.

Continuist? without doubt Tropico 4 is more an expansion than a sequel and the new elements are only complementary to the same key mechanics and ideas from Tropico 3. However, it's still a quality game and the much welcomed refinements and light improvements make it a better game. Especially recommended for players with no experience in Tropico, but still a good buy for any maganement fan.

Not even Shenron can grant us our wish of enjoying a great Dragon Ball game this generation. It's unclear if Spike tries its best or if they gave up, but "Ultimate Tenkaichi" can't compare to what we have seen in PlayStation 2. Another forgettable game in the franchise.

While its Flash origins are noticeable, the work with the conversion to PS3 game is remarkable. Rocketbirds is a solid 2D action full of good touches, which offers good audiovisual quality, great variety, cool story and plenty of content between the main and the cooperative campaigns.

Kirby: Mass Attack has very good and innovative ideas. With a full touch control and a lot of levels, the gameplay is very satisfying although many parts fail because they are slow. Colour, fun and extra mini-games in the last great work of the pink character for Nintendo DS.

The last appearance in the Might & Magic series is a game that intentionally seeks to incorporate new regulars. Characteristics have been reduced and a more dynamic mechanical has been created. Its result is a product that can provide hours of fun but will hardly become our choice for a long time. The amount of technical errors can eventually scare the more impatient players but once corrected... we will find a game with enough quality.

A logical evolution from Dance Central and certainly one of the best Kinect games avaliable for it by far. It's serious enough to offer an entertaining challenge and easy enough to welcome everyone, making it a superior dancing game over much goofier offerings.

Football Manager is a game that grows bigger every year, better each season. Time passes by it without reducing the appeal of its wonderful mechanics and its easy to dive into gaming experience. Few alternatives in its genre engross the users with as much passion as the game by Sports Interactive. Although improvements this year are not the most anticipated, the final result is more and more interesting. A game to be considered mandatory for sport lovers.

Uncharted 3 is the seal to one of the best franchises of this generation. Packed with intense action scenes, as usual, the script is the most exciting we've seen in the series so far. The superb graphics allow the game to show incredibly recreated locations such as the desert of Arabia. The multiplayer is much improved, becoming a real alternative to the main game. The only problem? Not as good and surprising as the second game, and a slow beginning.

Battlefield 3 offers one of the best multiplayer modes out there. The Frostbite 2 engine is capable of amazing things in order to show the most realistic war we've seen to date. Its only flaws are an extremely short campaign and a co-op mode that could have been much better.

Excellent database, rich on real licenses of teams, leagues and players and tons of management options for a very solid football management game. But it still lacks something to reach to the next level in this specific field.

The classic Tetris doesn't know to make good use of 3D. It's a game full of modes, with 8 players online and many hours of traditional fun and new interesting additions. But only that.

If you are tired of Tower Defense games, think again, Trendy Entertainment shows there is still a lot of potential in this concept, offering a great mix with ARPG concepts which shines the most in cooperative mode.

Batman: Arkham City is great. It has the main features from Arkham Asylum but improves every possible aspect to create a bigger, better and more exciting Batman game. It delivers constantly and it's the best superhero videogame we've ever seen.

Even with some technical problems, a quite serious problem with cheaters and some connection issues, there is potential in Battlefield Play4Free, which offers a great relationship quality-price -that is, a very decent shooter for no money at all, which is a pretty good deal.

Five hours of play more intense than usual in Human Revolution. The Missing Link forces us to start from scratch to Adam Jensen, with new equipment and extreme situations in the BellTower freighter. All the answers to many questions that left the original game, and pure entertainment. A great DLC.

Spiderman: Edge of Time has some nice moments, but overall is a bland and forgettable game. It lacks depth, interest and visual quality, and it's extremely short. It should have been a better game, as it has potential to, but ends up being an average experience.

The Cursed Crusade has too many cutscenes, it's too easy, it's boring, it has many issues and bugs and, overall, it's not a good experience. Also, it gives extreme importance to the story, but it's never interesting and ends up being forgettable and the combat is so bland that it's not even worthy of this gen.

Cyanide Studio has tried to reinvent the wheel to end up getting a disastrous outcome. A Game of Thrones: Genesis only shares its name with the saga of George R. R. Martin because it is completely impossible to relate the two products. The game lacks depth as well as have removed every name, territory and aspect that could enrich the experience. Despite having good ideas, they are done poorly. Song of Ice and Fire is a complete and rich license with almost infinite possibilities that have been underused. Better to forget.

While WRC2 presents a good selection of cars and circuits for Rally fans, it's still a bit lacking in the technical and audiovisual side, and it presents a weird balance between simulator and arcade that doesn't make it any favour.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is more frenetic and spectacular than other Ace Combat games, but simple. A new way into the franchise with intense campaign and good multiplayer.

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record is, basically, the same game we've seen a year ago, but with the "what if Frank West was the hero of Fortune City?". It has a few changes, some updates and several improvements, but overall is the same game. The most interesting thing is the new storyline, much more interesting than the Chuck Greene narrative. Makes you wonder if this should have been the Dead Rising 2 canon.

It has adapted very well to the consoles, it's spectacular and uses the systems. It loses none of its gameplay and it is as open as ever. But many bugs, faults in the AI, a lot of popping but no multiplayer modes ruin this playable paradise. Good port, anyway.

After the fantastic Super Meat Boy, Edmund McMillen goes to his more experimental roots to create a really original and engaging hybrid. Part SmashTV, part Rogue, The Binding of Isaac offers hours and hours of entertainment in a highly replayable adventure.

NBA 2K12 is another step in the way of excellence that 2K keeps following in their portrayal of this sport. Richer offensive and defensive options, lots of technical imrpovements and a fantastic presentation makes this game a must for basketball lovers.

Dark Souls is an Action RPG following the unique gameplay legacy of Demon's Soul. The original online system comes back with a deeper world and more effective mechanics... in one of the most difficult games in this generation. You will love dying. Once again.

After four years of waiting, id rewards us with a surprisingly deep FPS, that combines the usual expertise of the studio in this genre with a rich and engaging world powered by the powerful id Tech 5.

The same game with a new definition. There aren't news or extras in a videogame from 2001 that does not display much improvement and costs 20 dollars/euros. It is essential for those who did not play at the time, ten years ago.

Poor and coarse, Supremacy MMA is a big disappointment. Little content and no play satisfaction for a title that has good and new ideas but doesn't know how to carry them out. Violence and blood are the main attractions. Very bad, 505 Games...

The best football game this season, with the new defense system, progress in AI and graphics, hundreds of options and a more sophisticated Manager Mode. FIFA 12 is really great, and EA Sports is bringing good ideas.

Whether it's free, this game is still fun. The best puzzles in which Link has faced and always meant to be played in company. The touch screen makes it better. It also has added a lot of memories to help you bring out your tears. Memorable.

PES 2012 improves in several key aspects and fans will be pleased; but it still has many issues from previous entries. Control-wise, it's faster, but animations lack quality and goalkeepers are worse than ever. The Community mode and the online features are its main achievements.

There aren't news or extras in a videogame of 2005 that does not display much better and costs 20 dolars/euros. It is essential for those who did not play at the time, six years ago.

Tripware brings one of the most cruel battles in human history to our home. A fight on the streets and house by house, recreated by one of the most demanding FPS of the moment. We have never been so close to knowing what those anonymous soldiers felt. Superb game.

Radiant Silvergun is one of the best shoot 'em ups that we've seen in the so-called next-gen. The co-op and the new online functions are welcome, and they just make better one of the most intriguing games of the late 90 decade.

Markus Phoneix leaves the Xbox 360 with an enormous and well-told adventure that exceeds all expectations. A lot of online modes, great Horde 2.0 and all the gameplay that characterizes the journeys of Gears. Magnificent!

Hard Reset is a visual and esthetic marvel, with a great performance and a good sense of graphic spectacle. Its combat is really good, offering a welcome back to old school FPS design and a true sense of challenge However, it's really short, ends abruptly and the story makes little sense, which is not the ideal situation to be for a pure single player game.

Space Marine is a great first try for Relic in its attempts to move Warhammer 40,000 to a different genre. The combat system is very satisfactory and perfectly executed thanks to great work with animation and sounds effects and the artistic work recreating a Forge World is remarkable. It lacks a bit of audacity and ambition both in campaign and multiplayer, but it's a really promising first entry ina more action focused conception of this universe.

The same game with better graphics. Star Fox 64 3D is a classic remake, fun, but with little added. The online modes are very simple. Fox works in 3D as we expected. No more.

Team ICO's first two games were able to join the terms art and videogame in one single product. Ueda's studio delivered two astonishing titles thanks to their visuals, shocking the user through the design of the environments or the gigantic colossus. Both of them were able to produce different sensations in the player: love, loneliness, fear... they weren't just fun, but magnificent storytelling experiences. Two masterpieces that are now available in HD and 3D.

A nice and interesting offer by WayForward, Betrayal's pure fun, as difficult as it's charming.

Tanner returns, and with him the persecutions and gameplay running in the city. This San Francisco is big, with lots to do and different game modes. The Shift and the speed will not let you breathe. Pure adrenaline pretty well exposed. A splendid return.

With great visuals and intense heart-pounding gameplay, completed with a replayable Campaign mode and a solid Multiplayer offering that fans of the saga (and gamers who look for a great FPS experience) will love, Resistance 3 turns into the best game in the series so far, making it an epic conclusion to Insomniac's and PlayStation 3's exclusive trilogy.
