    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.

    White Knight Chronicles is a letdown, far away from the promises that Level 5 -the team behind Rogue Galaxy or Dragon Quest VIII, among many others- made at the very beginning of its development. The story's too simple and plain to be taken seriously, just like the battle system. It's a good game on technical terms, thought, with an interesting graphic engine and funny designs for the monsters we hunt during our adventure. It's a worthy buy for the followers of the genre, but for the rest, it's best to look -or wait- for other chances on the JRPG world.

    Ezio battles against the evil Orsi brothers, sent by Rodrigo Borgia to Forli to get the Piece of Eden. Although The Battle of Forli is a pretty short addition to Assassin's Creed II, it's an intensive chapter and introduces a great female character, Caterina Sforza. But despite its low price, the revelation it was meant to be originally a part of the original game and it was only set a part to be sold as DLC drives us to give it a thumbs down.

    A extremely hard game when playing against the CPU, but also extremely fun. It requires a lot of practice in order to use the best tactics, players and tricks, but it's worth it. The different races with their own abilities add replay value, along with the many game modes and the multiplayer.

    Mass Effect 2 captures the elements that made the original a game to remember, showing once more the mastery of Bioware creating great stories and unforgettable characters. Not happy with that, the studio shows their will to surpass themselves with a very improved combat system which does a lot of right things to approach the gameplay of the best third person shooters available. Perhaps, in some aspects the team has been too overzealous to streamline certain aspects of the first game, loosing a bit of the original ingenuity, but it can't be discussed that the result is a more polished and focused title.

    Touchdown's done it again. And with him, we receive the best work that Suda51's made so far, with an outstanding graphics engine and a story that will take players to the city of Santa Destroy, in a vendetta-like-story in which Travis will have to get to the first place of the UAA... and find out who was the man that wasted his patiente with the murder of his best friend. Desperate Struggle's one of the best games for this console.

    Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom arrives at the western market twelve months after being sent in Japan, in a new version that adds great amount of extra content. TVC: Ultimate All-Stars it is the best fighting game never sent on Wii. An indispensable game for the users of the Nintendo's console.

    MAG
    256 players in the same battlefield is clearly a new step beyond what console online gaming was offering. Spectacular in its size, MAG allows at the same time a deep approach for the hardcore FPS lovers, and also an easier gameplay appealing for those more casual action gamers. The lack of any non-online mode can limit its influence, and the visuals are not over the top, but in the end, MAG achieves success delivering the closest experience to fighting on a living battlefield.

    Dark Void has a generic and tedious part with the third person shooter levels but it is almost as solid in the other part: the jetpack areas. Poor use of the Unreal Engine 3, last generation visuals and the deficient AI unfortunately hurt this new project.
