    A shooting game that fails to understand how a Shoot'em Up works. If you fail with the most basic core of your game mechanic, it says enough about your game.

    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.

    Rambo: The Videogame is one of the worst games that we've ever played. Poor and simple mechanics, a total disaster in terms of graphics and another wasted movie license.

    It's not a bad game: it has its moments, it has several gameplay mechanics, and it has its own personality. But, overall, it's just an average game, with nothing we hadn't seen before, and it's extremely short. Not even the multiplayer makes it worthy.

    Larry Loveage is the nephew of Larry Laffer, but he's not half as charming as his uncle. This new game offers completely new gameplay that doesn't suit the character, along with many technical issues that make it a repetitive, uninspired and not so interesting game. It forgets Larry's legacy and tries its own ideas, but with little fortune.

    Darkfall is definitely a good MMORPG.

    Pop 'n Rhythm takes the musical genre another step further following the particular style of the series, that never made it outside Japan so far. The Wii version, very much like the PSP one, is just a good try to make something different, but lacks an interesting gameplay mechanics or melodies that we'll remember in a few years.

    EA Sports surprised us with the decision of not realeasing a stand alone game for the new EURO Cup, but it was a great decission.

    It is short. It has some issues with the control and bugs like glitches in the collision system. And the story lives some inconclusive arcs. But yet there's something in Contrast that makes it an experience worthwhile thanks to a exquisite artistic direction Noir-Burlesque, a superb soundtrack full of good old fashioned jazz, and some of the best 2D platform moments we have seen in a long long time, with jumps, feelings and narrative mixing all in one. It's short, it has some issues and its a little expensive, but give it a chance, and Contrast will get you.

    Strikey Sisters is a great brick breaker game that vigorously incorporates new ideas to the genre.

    Baja: Edge of Control offers crazy off-road racing and seeks to attract arcade players as much as simulation lovers.

Inspired by the Rubik's cube and based on the idea of the Relativity painting, this first-person puzzle title invites us to experiment by defying the laws of physics and gravity, an example that puzzles are there to impose their own rules, to bypass them and turn them around so that the player sits inside.
