    Despite being a fun game, it doesn't offer too many hours to play. The environment is great but not the graphics that looks a bit poor. Illfonic needs to add content and improve the queue times to turn Predator: Hunting Grounds into a better game.

    Despite it's 90s vibes (exploration, level design and funny worlds), Clive 'N' Wrench does not achieve its quality. It has an unfair hitbox and the couple has not a good gameplay and movement feeling.

    Playing a Senran Kagura game is like going to watch a Michael Bay movie or read a Playboy issue: We know exactly what we are going to see. But under all that ecchi fan-service of bouncing Double Ds schoolgirls and whippe cream using as an style of underwear, there's a musical rhythm game that can be entertaining if we don't ask for much, but that lasts for not-too-long due to its brief content.

    Onechanabra: Bikini Zombie Slayers is one of the weirdest games of Wii, a bizarre combination between action and gore, that takes all what it needs to entertain. Its a shame that the graphic engine fails in every way trying to exploit this console's possibilities.

    Dead Rising: Chop till you Drop has finally made it to the Wii with a joyful gameplay system that lacks a graphics engine too old, without any trace of the camera. The story's very much the same, without any changes at all, except one; we've lost the sandbox element to include a linear mechanic. Its a good game though not exactly as good a the Xbox 360 version.

    Another Third Person Shooter, with more generic situations than original elements. Good in coop mode, but forgettable for solo players. Fuse has frantic gunplay, but on the other hand also has a generic story, characters and design levels.

    Frank Castle's latest game is not what we hoped it to be. A mere Unreal Tournament clone without soul, despite having such a great franchise in the title. Unoriginal and basic all around, it can be a fun game, but only for short game periods.

    Drawn to Death, David Jaffe's return, is a free-to-play game with the worse things of the genre and without the best (it isn't free!). Funny and original, with an unique art design, it deserves one chance, but you must know: it's simple, turns boring soon and it doesn't have enough content.

    Wii Music offers dozens of instruments and songs, but if you don't love playing music or have a great sense of rythm, it gets tiring after few hours. This title can't be considered a good videogame because it requires a lot of time and hard work to fully enjoy it. If you are able to pass all the lessons, you may have a great time with it, otherwise, we don't recommend it.

    Manhunt 2 has suffered many delays and lots of problems before release, but it´s finally here. A game that is not suitable for everyone, due to its gore and violent nature, but it has some charm for those PS2 users who are looking for something fun for their machine. Sadly, a confusing story and some problems like close combat controls make it not as good as it could have been. The lack of the Wii motion controls makes it a less compelling experience.

    Ken's Wrath has some good ideas and offers us a glimpse of what a Hokuto no Ken's game could be. But this is not that game, as it's repetitive, with many visual issues and an important lack of personality. It feels more of the same with the Warriors series, and it's dissapointing and several levels.

    Clash of the Titans was a nice movie, at least an interesting one, but the game's quite a stun. The Unreal Engine makes a good effort in recreating the same atmosphere, using the original characters and a different perspective for the story, that we experience under the eyes of Pherseus. The Gods are going to pay their deeds, and we need to help the main character achieve his goal. Buy it if you're a fan of the hack 'n slash genre, or just a movie-lover. There's nothing new, but what we find's at least playable.

    Dragon Ball: Infinite World is a fair adaptation of Akira Toriyama's series, with tons of playable characters and different scenarios, but nothing more.

    Daylight is a good survival horror game for PC and PS4. In this game, Zombie Studios give to the players a huge amount of frights that will make them scream for a while.

    Yuji Naka's latest work is a very strange one, probably one of the most original productions that we've seen on the Nintendo Wii platform. It's a funny proposal but still it's not as convincing as we'd like it to be. The box system is not the best choice in order to make players have a good time, but it's inevitable to understand that the style of this game's original as it can.

    The latest adaptation of Blood Bowl on handheld is just enough to become a good game, but nothing more far from that. It doesn't matter if you're playing on a Nintendo DS or a PSP, just note that the controls and the graphic style is very much the same thing on both games. Still it's a valuable game if you're looking for something different on the strategy genre.

    Tree of Tranquility is very much the essence that this franchise has always dealt with. We have to harvest a different number of fields, looking forward to earn some money, to marry and all that familiar stuff that we should know very well at the date.

    In a point somewhere between the masterpiece D&D: Tower of Doom and the nightmarish Double Dragon 2: Wander of the Dragons is where we could situate this Sacred Citadel, a spin off that will be preparing the way for its older brother Sacred 3. Visually vibrant and colourful in a comic-esque style, it's a shame that its walkthrough seems like a rollercoaster, with great, funny playable action parts and others boring or insanely harder. Give it a try if King of Dragons means something for you. Definitely get it if you planned to play it in coop with a couple of friends, the greatest element of the whole game and its reason to be.
