    White Knight Chronicles International Edition
    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.

    Assassin's Creed II: Battle of Forli
    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.

    Blood Bowl
    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
    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.

    No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
    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: Ultimate All-Stars
    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
    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.

    Dark Void Zero
    The classic action-genre from the 8bits generation's still alive and well. Dark Void Zero's here not only to use the name of the new Capcom's franchise, but also to represent one of the most interesting games that we've tried so far on the DSiWare channel. Pure action, fun and retro-style. A nice pick if you're looking for some fun.

    Muscle March
    It's not deep, it's short, it's crazy, it's basic, but in the end it's fun. Muscle March is not our typical game nowadays, but it delivers what it promises: seven guys half-naked running after thieves. It's best to enjoy the game with friends, as it doesn't offer much for single player.

    Vancouver 2010 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Winter Games
    Sega brings us Vancouver 2010: The Official Videogame of the Olympic Winter Games with nice graphics and cool innovations in the gameplay. But the game does not feel like a real Olympic experience, there is no competitive spirit. Only for winter sports fans.

    The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces
    For a long time we've awaited for an aerial fighting-simulation like The Sky Crawlers, made by the team behind Ace Combat. And that's very much what we're going to find on this game, that follows the story of a few children that's set to die in the skies without any reason at all. Interesting gameplay, sometimes lacked by it's own struggle to show something new, cool story and impressive graphics. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
    Phoenix Wright's back with his first adventure, the original that we saw a few years ago in GameBoy Advance and later on Nintendo DS. It's exactly the same story without anything new on the gameplay system besides the use of the wiimote instead of the stylus in order to find clues and other stuff to solve the cases we must deal with. Buy it only if you haven't tried to other versions of it.

    Darksiders
    Darksiders is a great game, fun and entertaining. A lengthy action-adventure game, with some good ideas taken from other titles. Overall is great, but it lacks its own gameplay and ideas.

    Bayonetta
    Bayonetta is a great game, in every possible aspect: great visuals, superb OST, incredible gameplay, fun, deep storyline, several difficulty levels for both newcomers and hardcore gamers... It's easily one of the best games in its genre, and it sets new standards of quality.

    Divinity II: Ego Draconis
    An excellent ARPG that takes the best elements of Divine Divinity and updates them in a imaginative game full of flavor and personality. Engaging combat system, a rich character development, interesting sidequests... all that are the bricks of a very solid game that could be even better without some major problems, like the ending.

    Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
    The original Adventure of the Belmont's family is back as a brand-new M2 production. We'll find very much the same as in the first Castlevania games that we played two decades ago: plenty of jumps, enemies and a deep and well obtained feeling of isolation underneath the eyes of Dracula. If you're a fan of the series, go for it. If you're not, here you have a good reason to try with something different. It's not flawless but it's worth the look.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
    Good, but flawed, The Crystal Bearers' decent gameplay has some cool ideas, but is held back by a myriad of issues. Good graphics lacking more depth, interesting story that takes too long to blast off and can't avoid classical clichés of the genre.

    Battle Fantasia
    Battle Fantasia, a fighting game developed by Arc System Works, creators of Guilty Gear franchise, is a good title, with 12 beautifully illustrated characters in a good JRPG style. But this game can't compete with the high profile fighters, especially SFIV, or the own GG saga.

    Football Manager Handheld 2010
    Fun, deep and engaging. Football Manager Handheld 2010 is the game for football sims lovers who own a PSP. It's not a huge step forward compared to 2009's version, but it's more polished and delivers what we expected it to.

    The Saboteur
    The Saboteur is another victim of the hype fever that nowadays some titles in development use to suffer. The historical context is very appealing, aesthetics and artistic production are well worked and it's a hooking story. It's even an attractive proposal to mix different genres to create a personal style, but fails to make a fully enjoyable adventure.

    Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
    This new entry in the Silent Hill series is, simply, one of the best entries in the franchise. It knows what players want and fear, and show them their inner fears on-screen. A great game, with an unforgettable story, but unfortunately it's too short and quite easy.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 5: Rise of the Pirate God
    Rise of the Pirate God is the grand season finale of Tales of Monkey Island, and it delivers. TellTale created an outstanding season from the beginning, and the great ending is just a fact of its greatness. But it's also true that they can do a better job, as they did with the second season of Sam & Max; hope they reach those heights with Monkey Island too.

    The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    A new entry on the series, a new success. The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's greatest franchises, and there's no doubt that it deserves it; Spirit Tracks is a huge game, beautiful, with an incredible cooperative gameplay and many things to do.

    Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre
    Dave Gibbons' masterwork is back on the scene with a fair adaptation of the original Rogue Trooper. Same action, graphics and storyline fora game that has a lot to say even thought its a short adventure. We'll get through it in less than 8 hours- and without an online multiplayer.

    Rogue Warrior
    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.

    MX vs. ATV Reflex
    MX vs. ATV Reflex has become the best title in the series and sets up new bases in the offroad racing genre. The biggest changes in the game are the new control system, called Rider Reflex, which allows us to feel closer to the dangerous driving on these awesome bikes, and the new Rhythm Racing 2.0 graphics engine, which despite some technical failures, provides details that will probably be used in the next racing games, such as real-time deformation of the ground. Fans of these races will be pleased with this progress. Maybe other users will feel frustrated by an unbalanced difficulty curve and some graphical issues.
