Colin McRae Dirt 2 is one of the best driving games ever. The tech is great, it has a lot of options, a huge array of competitions, and its fun, fast and amazing. Its main problem is the lack of a deep gameplay; it's easy to play and it's a game for everyone, and that's both good and bad news. Those searching for a difficult game, keep searching; but it's true that this game is really fun from the beginning.

Dark Hero Days offers exactly what we could expect form a production with Nippon Ichi's seal - plenty of fun, unlimited hours in front of the PSP and an outstanding storyline that makes us laugh and smile from time to time. With a few new additions, Disgaea 2's back at its best.

A good fighting game but nothing else, that's what players are going to find in the latest production from Capcom. It's a very good way to explode the anime series Fae/Stay Night, with a very interesting gameplay mechanics that every fighting game lover will appreciate. Don't expect anything more, you won't find it in here.

Fun, entertaining and interesting. But it's the same gameplay, the same visuals, the same sound, same environments, same characters, same enemies... Also, it's a really short experience: an hour of gameplay that it's not enough for our money.

In its latest adaptation of the beat 'em up series, Soulcalibur is still on the verge. This handheld adaptation of SCIV is probably one of the best games in the genre, and also a very good example of the real potential of PlayStation Portable. You'll probably like or dislike the gameplay system, but it's impossible bot being impressed with the graphic engine after a few battles. Another must-have, the second on this console in just one week.

Guitar Hero makes a good comeback with the polished and refined version of its predecessor with attractive visuals, a now more accessible but still difficult to learn GHStudio, and a couple of differences on the main modes here and there. The good part comes with the Party Play, a classy move of simplicity which can enhance the experience and let us start to play immediately after we introduce the disc.

Cryptic Studios develops this fast-paced action computer MMO that allow us to create our wannabe hero. The game includes an extremely powerful characters editor which is one of the best experiences in the genre. Champions Online succeeds in creating an impressive heroes MMO.

Eric has to find his brother. There's nothing more for him, just the fearless phantom figures that follow him all his way up to the Himalaya's mountain. Deep Silver had made one of their greatest games so far, with a very interesting storyline mixed with an even more interesting graphic engine. There's nothing to lose in here; it's a must-have for all terror-lovers that are looking forward to buy a good adventure for their favourite console.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best game of the Dark Knight never created. Exceptional treatment of characters, magnificent script, excellent graphics... Every one of the elements overflows quality. Special mention for the asylum, a frightful and dark scene that will surprise us throughout the adventure.

Dissidia's one of the best games that we've seen on the PSP system, with an outstanding graphic engine and an interesting fight system that assures more than a hundred hours of fun and addictive battles. It still have some minor issues to deal with in a future edition of the game, but for what it has, it's a must-have for Sony's handheld.

Section 8 delivers a good multiplayer online action game, but it's just an average game. The lack of a good single player campaign, the unbalanced weapon system, and the bad use of the jetpack are its main flaws. Overall, at least, it's interesting and fun to play.

Metroid Prime Trilogy turns out to be one of the greatest choices of Nintendo Wii. Three games in just one package for less than 50€ that grants more than 100h of gameplay, a stunning graphic engine and, what's more important, a literaturesque way to explain the story of Samus Aran, her beginnings and everything else. A must-have no matter what anyone says.

Layton's latest adventure is his best for the time being. Same graphics, different sounds and a completely new storyline is very much what players are going to find in The Diabolical Box, a game that has nothing but fun to offer every player that have the guts to get over with more than a hundred puzzles and a compelling story. One of the best games of this year without any doubt at all.

Guybrush Threepwood is back with an entire new chapter of Tales of Monkey Island. Just more of the same stuff we saw in the previous chapter but now with new islands to visit. Good jokes, funny situations and interesting puzzles, but still far from the quality of the Sam & Max games.

The second DLC for Mass Effect is not what we expected from the franchise. Just a little warm-up before the launch of the second chapter in the series. Interesting, but quite useless in the greater picture of the galaxy.

Chair Entertainmet and Epic Games developed Shadow Complex as an action game based on classiscs like Metroid series. This game will allow you to explore secrets in a EE UU military basement with a fast paced action gameplay and stunning graphics powered by Unreal Engine 3.

Raven Software developed this new Wolfenstein experience that is based on an epic PC series. Average visuals and gameplay. A funny Nazi killer experience without substance. Do not expect amazing innovation, just five or seven hours of gameplay in single player.

Origins is yet another good RPG for the Wii. Genki has done a very good adaptation of the portable editions of Disney's franchise. We will find tons of creatures to deal with, all together with an outstanding graphics engine.

Brave is a very poor game that isn't able to shine above all the other platform games because of his lame graphics, null gameplay innovation and a story that has nothing at all to tell. It's a strange port from the PlayStation 2. You'd better stick with the original one instead of wasting your money in this Brave: A Warrior's Tale.

Despite dwelling on the well-worn topic such as the World War Two warfare, this third installment of the acclaimed Hearts of Iron 'grand strategy' saga truly delivers. Based on the revamped engine displayed on Europa Universalis, Paradox' title offers unique depth, flexibility, historical accuracy and wonderful playability that will perhaps overwhelm newcomers but will surely make strategy enthusiasts rejoice once again. It may lack state-of-the-art graphics and sound effects but it is anyway one of the greatest war simulators currently on the shelves.

Memento Mori offers great visuals, great Spanish dubbing, and an interesting story. It's a shame, because it has potential to fare much better, but overall, the game delivers what it must, and users will have a great time playing one interesting point and click adventure. Ideal for newcomers to the genre.

Quotation forthcoming.

Watchmen: The end is Nigh Part 2 is, essentially, the same game. Three new levels, but the same characters, the same moves, and the same price. Not worth on its own, better on the retail disc version along with Part 1.

The latest Wii Sports makes the original seem lacking in every department. With plenty of new gameplay modes, the inclusion of WMP and a bunch of new additions, 'Resort' is set to be one of the most important videogames of this summer. It's a shame that there's no online features, but still it has everything of what it takes to become a blockbuster in no time.

The King of Fighters XII offers a superb visual section. Unfortunately, the rest of the game gives the sensation to be unfinished: poor artificial intelligence, scarce game modes, online filled with errors.

Splosion Man has the graphics, the humour, the sound and the joy to become one of the greatest arcades of this summer. The latest work from Twisted Pixel is one of the most innovating games of this generation, a mixture between action and puzzle that slowly makes his way to the top in an incredible show of originality and wisdom. Despite some minor unattended matters, this is a very good chance to enjoy a good game without wasting a pence.

This is nothing more than a Little King's Story. An incredible game that takes everything that we've seen so far in the strategy genre and pushes it even further to become one of the greatest games on the Wii system. You just never get tired of finding new items, places - of expanding this weird and fantastic kingdom that's settled on a Nintendesque world. Lots of chances for us players to have fun in what's probably the longest adventure for this console.

Square Enix has done a good job with its latest WiiWare development, with My Life as a Darklord being one of the greatest Tower Defense games that we've seen this year. With its stunning graphics and funny sense of humour, it's a good choice if you're looking for something cheap, interesting and pretty long for its gameplay style.

A great gameplay that keeps us playing for hours. Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! may lack great visuals, game modes, or a deep story, but its really fun and interesting. A good handheld game, with an old-school style, and many hours of gameplay.

A great adventure game, with humour, logical and illogical puzzles, and a charismatic bunch of characters. The remake is great, and the classic game is still a solid game. At a good price point, it's the ideal game for Monkey Island and point and click adventure lovers.

Darkfall is definitely a good MMORPG. It's not for the new massive online game players, because the learning curve could be considered extreme and the PVP is based on the FFA loot system Ultima Online had, but hardcore players should enjoy their journey around the biggest world ever created for an MMORPG.

Battlefield 1943 is a great multiplayer experience. It lacks game modes, weapons, maps and other features, but it's well-balanced and what it offers is great overall. Ideal for lovers of online multiplayer games, a fun and unforgettable experience that has become one of the best downloadable games nowadays.

The new ArmA 2 is much more than a revision of Armed Assault or Operation Flashpoint. It really is a tool full of possibilities in addition to a detailed campaign mode where we can enjoy the most varied opportunities for combat in a very realistic representation of a war scenario, vehicles, weapons and characters. ArmA 2 represents the absolute freedom facing a modern battle, and where each of our choices will bring consequences. A title between game and military simulator.

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.

After years of absence on PC, Street Fighter comes back to PC with a flawless version of this outstanding fighting game. SF IV is a well balanced, fun and an easy to play but hard to master game, but the compatible version adds some welcome visual changes and a fantastic performance in a huge variety of systems.

Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is a funny game for children that allows us to play as the famous magician. EA did a good job by introducing some features in this game. However, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is a linear game without innovative aspects. Just buy it if you're one of Harry's supporters.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a comeback to the first game's gamestyle, but it has evolved, with more gameplay options, and much more features that are really fun. But there's still much work to do, for example with the AI. A good game that could have been much better overall.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is at the moment one of the best fighting games, and the unique that can be considered to the height of Street Fighter IV. Sprites in high definition, amazing backgrounds, fast and intense play system... The best game than Arc System Works never has created.

Blood Bowl features some interesting ideas, like introducing a real-time component to the universe of the board game. Furthermore, it really achieves the look and feel of the miniature game, providing a experience that resembles the original product without any doubt. Despite the fact that this is a product that fit good the fans liking, it can be interesting for every kind of gamer. Only the real time mode, that quickly become a nonsense melee is a visible drawback for a good planned and constructed game.

Boxing as we have never seen it. Great visuals, an amazing gameplay and a lot of fun in the most realistic and entertaining boxing game ever. Ideal both for experts and for newcomers who want to enjoy a very good game.

The Conduit is one of the finest Nintendo Wii games, with and outstanding graphical engine and a very entertaining gameplay that's apt for any player who wants to discover what The Conduit is possible to offer. It lacks a more profound use of strategy instead of being a simple action game, but its online options make worthy the purchase of a very interesting game tough it's far from the perfection that High Voltage promised some months ago.

Action. That's very much what we're going to find in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, a good action game that offer an interesting multiplayer mode. The graphic engine's just fine, same thing with the sound and it's strange voice acting. It's an interesting game if you're looking to have some fun, but that's very much all what we're going to find in this latest film adaptation.

Overlord 2 is a solid sequel of the first one, a game that surprised many people thanks to its charm and originality. Now, the surprise factor is gone, but Triumph Games has made wise improvements over the weakest elements of their previous work, which makes this an enjoyable experience and a recommended title.

Explore new worlds with this installment in the Anno series. This game presents amazing visuals and use strong gameplay that will allow players to explore the new world. It lacks online modes, but it's a great strategy and simulator game.

A good game and one of the best movie games that we have seen in years. Retains all the charm and humour of the original movies,but is far from being perfect. The lack of cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes harms the gaming experience, but if you're a fan of the the films you must know that this game is worthy of its license.

Ghostbusters on Wii is very much the same game that we tried on PS3 a couple months ago, but with a new gameplay style based on wiimote/nunchuk and a very interesting graphic engine. The fun's still in there, lacking an online feature that's replaced for the co-op mode.

Ghostbusters does honor the movie. An entertaining game, with a huge array of gameplay possibilities. Some technical issues (judgements), problems with the AI, and a steep learning curve are the main problems with a game that could have fared much better. Nevertheless, it is a game recommended to the fans of Ivan Reitman's film, and to those who love the comedy of the 80s. To be a ghostbuster is the ultimate experience.

Guitar Hero gets a new member to his family. Smash Hits features old songs with new gameplay. Taking the classics to a full band experience, this game packs an interesting tracklist with the ability to play with your friends the original versions of songs like Free Bird or Slayer's Raining Blood. Despite its fun gameplay, the repetitive ideas and the lack of new content became a problem for those who seek new intentions on the franchise.

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.

Fun and entertaining, Lego Battles is an ideal game for young kids. A great game for recreating Lego battles on a console. It's extremely simple, and it lacks something on its technical side, specially gameplay-wise, but overall a good game for kids.

Prototype has great potential, but unfortunately, it does not deliver everything we expected it to. Great fun, lot of possible evolutions and powers, action and a lot of blood; everything well mixed in a game that should have been a little more polished in order to improve its presentation.

Only the on-line modes and the Davis Cup separate it from the previous games of the series. SEGA must think about where they want to take the saga, because the stagnation can start being dangerous.

Virtua Tennis supports the stamp typical of the saga with a dynamic, fast, accessible and entertaining game. Nevertheless, the absence of innovations in his playability turns it into a title with minimal attraction for the user who already knows the saga. Only the on-line modes and the Davis Cup they separate it from the previous games of the series. SEGA must think about where they want to take the saga, because the stagnation can start being dangerous.

VT2009 for Wii makes a new experience in the genre thanks to the Wiimotion Plus add-on. Become one of the best 25 world tennis players with tons of jaggies and poor court details, but with different gameplay choices combining the Wiimote with or without Nunchuck and Wiimotion Plus for all kinds of gamers.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings offers a new adventure of biblical proportions, carried out by the most famous archaeologist of all time. Unfortunately, the Wii's control systeml is a little untrustworthy as usual. A very nice extra in the form of The Fate of Atlantis, a legendary graphic adventure, becomes the main reason to play the game.

If you're looking to enjoy with a fun game, this is your choice. Harmonix has done a very good job an recreating the feeling of the original Rock Band into this PSP version. We've like 40 songs, with hundreds of different combinations for players to change the way they play.

Tennis. That's what everything's about in Grand Slam Tennis, the latest effort of EA Sports to convince the Nintendo Wii community about its wishes for this new philosophy that they're up to at the moment. And it's a very good way to start a new road, with plenty of gameplay styles, an interesting graphic engine and the use of the Wii MotionPlus. For the first time in the history of this console, we can cross a ball with hammering to remote.

This year's Tiger Woods game is one of the best entries in the series. Fun, easy to play and with a lot of game modes (both online and offline), it has everything you ever wanted in a golf game. It's not so different from last year's game, but it has improved quite a bit.

One of the best Wii Ware games we've tried so far, that's basically everything that we can say about Swords and Soldiers. If you're looking for a funny, strange and interesting Real Time Strategy game, don't think it twice, just go and buy it. If you don't, give it a try, it's a very good game despite not having an online feature. Still, it's worth to play against any friend. You won't regret it.

Volition changed the genre for the third entry in the Red Faction series, but it works. Fun, full of content, good explosions and demolitions, and a huge array of possibilities. Great both online and offline, it's a shame that its plot is so weak and technically it could have fared better.

Sims is not an easy series to develop, the core concept is a very simple one and is too well exploited thanks to the endless expansions. But The Sims 3 has been successful in reinventing itself thanks to the new dimension opened by the presence of an urban environment that your Sims can explore at leisure. Having this open environment, combined with the improved visuals for the Sims themselves and the new personality system, makes this game something different, a fresh start.

Huge as it is, Fuel has many good things to offer. Fun gameplay, incredibly big environments, good visuals and a lot of challenges are on the plus side. But it lacks any depth, and the lack of a career mode makes all the trip a bit illogical. Good game with good ideas, ideal for arcade lovers, but not so much for those who look for a much deeper experience.

The mix just doesn't work. Good ideas that were left on the developing process, complete lack of interest during the main adventure, reuse of textures and environments, bad gameplay... Not even the multiplayer game modes are worth it. A shame, because there was potential to fare much, much better.

InFamous is a superheroes' different history. Cole handles the options and power that the electricity has given him, and with them he can do the good or get squarely into the dark side. With a few excellent controls, many power unlockables and the freedom complete to move and to use them for Empire City, this game is the "sleeper" PS3 game of this year. At least it has demonstrated a quality and an amusement within reach of few games.

Quotation forthcoming.

Frogwares offers us a great virtual adaptation of what happened in Whitechapel in 1988, with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. A great story, with amazing puzzles all throughout the adventure.

This crossover has good things, but it should have fared better. Extremely complex, simple and with millions of menus, it's a game just for hardcore JRPG lovers. They will find a charming experience with the beloved characters of other games, but it's not a game for everyone.

UFC 2009 Undisputed offers a great game dynamics, with great visuals, an amazing combat system, and many game modes. A great game, but it's too hard to master and, due to the competition itself, it's a game just for hardcore fans.

Addictive, that's the only way in which a game like Bash Party can be described. The sequel of Boom Blox couldn't be more well-focused on every single way, not only including more gameplay styles, but also but tons of new levels -a sum of 400-, with plenty of bizarre and funny characters that give the game a strange, but fancy look. Give it a shot, you won't regret it.

Fun and with interesting moments, Terminator Salvation is a really short game, just four hours, that lacks depth. Very few types of enemies, not many weapons, repetitive gameplay and not so impressive visually. It could have been much better, but it's far from what the franchise deserved.

Bionic Commando could have been something really big, but it failed to use all of its potential. A fun and interesting game that has a lot to offer, a great action-packed game that does great on both consoles and PC, but it should have fared much better.

A game that can be fun, but overall not so good. Great visuals and an interesting combat system, with some good moments. But its story is not as good as it should be, gameplay is a bit harsh playing with keyboard, and it's so typical that it isn't a fun experience overall.

It's quite incredible when we find out that an original classic is not only remade with an impressive taste, but also that it's one of the best games on the Wii console so far. There's a mixture between graphics, gameplay and funny situations that makes the game almost impossible for anyone to stop playing it. It's a must-have if you like sports, and if you don't, you still have plenty of things to find with this one.

Uwe Boll did it again, but now in videogame form. One of the worst games ever seen on PC, this FPS should have been canned before release: it lacks a story, its gameplay is horrible, and it has no real purpose. Its best feature: that it's a short game, so pain doesn't last long.

Quotation forthcoming.

Battlestations: Pacific is an improved version of the original Battlestations. This sequel offers two campaigns, better than one, and five multiplayer modes. Conquer the Island, the best one, is a complete experience which can last even more than two hours. However, the mix of two genres, action and strategy, doesn't explore deeply any of them.

The console port of Sacred 2 is a great RPG, with many hours of fun. Gameplay-wise, it changes enough to adapt itself for controllers, and it offers the same depth as in the PC version. Not a game for everyone, but ideal for lovers of the genre.

The little creatures from Patapon are back and well in this sequel that's basically the same game with a few additions that turns the game into a better and more profound experience for those who love music and strategy. We'll enjoy once more a strange but satisfying world at war, in which our only duty is to protect and serve the little and charismatic Patapon warriors.

Fun but short, magic but easy ... Klonoa jumps into Wii to become one of the best platform-games in 2.5D of the console. Jumps, colour and funny dreams for everyone, although it only lasts for the length of a nap.

Fallout 3 gets new content and Broken Steel set a new quality level on the downloadable content for this game. Expanding the level cap up to 30 and adding a nice set of new items, enemies and weapons is only one of the features of this expansion. Also, it really makes you feel the way the original did and let you play with your characters forever so it's worth buying if you expend a lot of time developing your avatar.

The latest Donkey Kong is by far one of the best games for the Nintendo Wii platform, with tons of gameplay styles, secrets and a very particular use of its sense of humour that put a smile in your face. Its a meaningful example of the use of the remote to combine jumps and action. If you're looking for something fun, don't think it twice; this's your best chance.

Wolverine is a great character, and he's the best there is at what he does even in videogames. This is a game full of action, blood and great visuals, with epic battles and unforgettable situations. It has its flaws, but overall, it's a good game for lovers of action-packed games.

Violette Summer is an interesting character, no doubt about that. But it's not that interesting the way in which Replay Games has decided to offer an strange gameplay system. There's also a lack of an interesting story, but basically it's a cheap game with nothing special to consider besides the main character and nothing more than that.

Cryostasis is a good attempt to extend the FPS genre and blend it with some survival-horror ideas. Despite the fact that the game is sharp and brilliant at the visuals, it ends reusing the same ideas over and over again. Creepy environment and frozen zombies are the main hazards for Alexander Nesterov, a Russian soldier that has the ability to revive the last minutes of the dead humans. Set in the North Wind, a Russian ship on the North Pole, the game has some good ideas that end on a dead end, providing a quite good game experience.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is one of the best of Koei's massive beat 'em ups, with tons of new content respect the original. The new Mission Mode includes hundreds of levels, offering a considerable longevity. Unfortunately, the graphical section of DWG2 is very poor, and online options aren't satisfactory.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is one of the best Koei's massive beat 'em ups ever made, with tons of new content with respect to the original. The new Mission Mode includes hundreds of levels, offering a considerable longevity. Unfortunately, the graphical section of DWG2 is very poor, and online options aren't satisfactory.

Outrun Online Arcade is, essentially, the same game that arrived on PS2, Xbox and PSP three years ago, but it's still a great offering for arcade lovers. Several game modes, great visuals and a lot of fun in a game that it's worth it, if you don't own last-gen entries.

Rag doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic improves on its forebear in some areas but it also falls short in many others. The promised online multiplayer is nowhere to be seen. With a poor and short single player, only the offline multiplayer, funny with three friends, has some interest... and his curious graphic style too.

Dragonball Evolution is the antichrist of the latest era of videogames. An incredibly bad fighting game that use the name of the cult classic anime/manga from Akira Toriyama in the worst way we've seen in a long time.
