    Nearly two years after its launch, Relic finally fills the gap that was intentionally left for Chaos Marines in Dawn of War 2. Though if you didn't like the original there's nothing better to find here, Chaos Rising fits perfectly in the Warhammer 40K atmosphere, bringing a unique experience that truly delivers.

    The Eye of Judgment: Legends solves all the errors of the first game, appeared in PS3 three years back. This game offers a good supply in modes for one player, maintaining the online supply of the original EoJ. Unfortunately, EoJ Legends isn't compatible with the PS Eye camera.

    It's difficult to get back the magic of the early days, but Square Enix tried its best in order to develop a storyline that's worth living. With an outstanding graphics engine, an impressive story and a quite interesting gameplay style, the only element that Final Fantasy XIII's lacking is a better mechanics and not the just go-on-forward gameplay style that it offers. Still, it's a worth-buying JRPG if you're a fan of the genre. And if you're not, just give it a try.

    Two years later, Assassin's Creed tries again to make real those promises from Ubisoft, and prove itself as a better game than it was. The truth is that, despite the Renaissance setting, the vivid locations and the historical landmarks, the new features added don't really improve the sequel: the same repetitive mechanics remain, as the flawed enemy AI, a rough combat system and moments of frustration coming from issues with the camera and the control response in the platform sections. Assassin's Creed II it's still a good game but far from the masterpiece Ubisoft has been promising.

    Finally comes one of the greatest adventures from Sega exclusively for PlayStation 3. It has been a long way, but the new Yakuza's episode arrives to the Western after Japan launch one year ago. New street fights, more research, a great plot and love for detail are the trademarks of the new proposal from Amusement Vision. It's really worthy; a nice price with a nice extra content.

    Fair but glitched, Calling's one of the most interesting proposals from Hudson in the last few months, a nice horror adventure in which gamers will discover the same gameplay that we saw in Project Zero or Ju-On, based once again in the stereotypical Japanese horror movies. It's your best pick if you're looking for some fun -- for while it lasts.

    Press Play's first adventure has come to be one of the best WiiWare games that we've tried so far, with an impressive graphic engine and a very entertaining traditional gameplay style that will make any platforms-lover enjoy his time with the game. Don't miss it.

    A great choice for the ones who love online FPS and one of the best releases of the beginning of 2010. DICE has done it again.

    A nice game adaptation. Alice in Wonderland's the sequel to the original story, and this game tries to capture the atmosphere of the latest Tim Burton's film. Its a nice way to enjoy with the characters of the movie, an interesting buy if you're a fan of the latest Alice adventure.

    Sonic's first iterations are just as fun as they ever were. But we've played them many times already, and in many different platforms. DS users who never played any of these games can enjoy it, but if you have any other version, there is nothing new except a bunch of roms emulated.

    Supreme Commander is dead, long live Supreme Commander. Gas Powered Games has decided to made important changes to the sequel of its massive RTS, giving it a better pace and a more pleasurable experience while offering a rich set of options thanks to the strategic development tree. But to achieve that, different aspects that made the first title such an unique game are gone, including the grand epic of the gigantic battlefields and several hour battles. Even so, this games proves to be an excellent entry to the genre, with a good amount of nice design decisions and a intense flow.

    Dante's Inferno on PSP is the same game than on 360 and PS3. It lacks the visuals, but it mimics the controls, the gameplay, and offers the same storyline. Gritty and really fun, Dante's adventure is good on PSP, but it has the same flaws as the HD versions.

    Heavy Rain is a game based on a good idea, but it doesn't work as well as we hoped it would. Gameplay-wise, it's not as open as it was supposed to be, thanks to the limits imposed by Quantic Dream. Its great visuals and the superb OST fall under the feeling that players are just mere spectators of the story.

    Napoleon Total War is a great RTS game, an incredible homage to the real french emperor. With great gameplay, and several game modes for single player and multiplayer, it's a great addition to the series. But it relies heavily on the basics of Empire Total War, so it feels a bit held back due to the lack of real improvements.

    Fun, entertaining and deep, Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is a great crazy racer. Charming characters, great tracks, and a great sense of speed, it's one of a kind game, engaging and with lots of several game modes, both online and offline.

    The combat system is good, but it lacks depth in every other aspect. No cities, no buying and selling, short, bad story, bad camera, bad graphics... Maybe it would have fared better in other platforms, as PlayStation 3 seems not the perfect fit for the game.

    The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a huge addition to Borderlands and delivers new enemy types, new weapons, new quests, new vehicles and rises the level cap to 61. Last but not least, it offers the chance to face the most dangerous enemy we've ever found in the game. Great fun and a good epilogue to one of the sleeper blockbusters of last year.

    If you want to go under water and have some fun watching the animal life that you can find in there, Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep offers plenty of what you’re looking for. A relaxing, beautiful and very well done adventure that’s able to improve almost every aspect of the original, though it’s not enough to became the greatest undersea adventure of all times.

    The Bonfire of the Vanities drives us back to the madness of the religious censorship. Our hero Ezio Auditore will face Girolamo Savonarola, the monk who has stolen the Fruit of Eden. Again a new chapter that has been taken from the original game. Although it would be interesting to play The Bonfire of the Vanities and Battle of Forli along with the rest of the game, we find no reason to buy it as a stand alone addition.

    Surprising, fun, original, creative... There're many ways to describe what The Odd Gentlemens have done with P.B. Winterbottom. Following the typical gameplay mechanics of 2D adventures, this's an XBLA exclusive that reminds the greatness of Braid and the singularity of the classical cinema. A must-have that has to be on every gamer's shelf.

    Although the look and feel of Resident Evi 5's new chapter is really close to those of the first adventures of the saga, it lacks the action, the riddles and the spirit of the best Resident Evil stories. The new Mercenaries Reunion mode is merely the addition of a few fighters and we still miss some of our favourite characters. At least the price is not expensive, and the adventure fills an important gap, although we already knew almost everything of what it happened in the Spencer Estate.

    Fans of survival horrors games and B Movies will be pleased with Deadly Premonition, despite the aesthetic aspect and poor gameplay. Actually, one of the strangest games in Xbox 360.

    Sony and Slant Six Games offer a brave addition to the SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs franchise in PSP, with an intense chapter that delivers us to Koratvia to stop a terrorist group. Great online features and a vibrant campaign.

    Aliens vs Predator is a pretty cool addition to the epic of the two races, violent extraterrestrial beings. Although the graphics are not state of the art and the game's not the best first person shooter out there, it gives the chance to live the terrific environment of the movies and it's loyal to the spirit of both characters.

    Miles Edgeworth is as fun and charming as previous entries on the series; but it's easier, more linear, and it lacks the depth we are used to in the series. Not the greatest entry on Capcom's franchise, but still a great game, fun, long and entertaining.

    BioShock 2 is a great game, despite being unable to surpass the original in any aspect. A good second visit to Rapture, that will delight fans of the first one. An engaging story, great visuals and a good gameplay, both on single player and multiplayer.

    Beyond the similarities with Kratos saga, it's an intense and frantic hack'n slash with brilliantly artistic graphics. Too short and without innovation, Dante's Inferno has what's most important: fun.

    Fun as always, the new Super Monkey Ball is too similar to previous games and it shows no significant developments. Playing the Balance Board is more difficult than playing with the Wiimote, something very inadequate. Familiar and challenging game.

    Call of Pripyat is a return to the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the one which impressed us the first time with its fascinating setting. The Zone is again that scenario that chill us with its mystery and GSC shows they can listen to the fans and that they understand well what made great the series in first place. The only problem is a dangerous feeling of familiarity that goes badly with this kind of game, so we hope to see a deep evolution for the next project of the Ukrainian team, but meanwhile we'll enjoy the most polished entry of the series.

    Cryptic Studios has created a great visual adaptation of the Star Trek universe, with a faithful recreation for the followers of the saga and complete character customization system. However, this title is hampered by their poorly implemented style of play that don't allows users to feel the experience of living and exploring beyond the final frontier. An interesting game for a look, but not for staying.
