    Left 4 Dead 2 its the best multi co-op game for Xbox 360. More weapons, more enemies, more blood. And better gameplay than the original in this great sequel.

    It's a good game, with great visuals, gameplay and interesting features. But, unfortunately, it's extremely short and some mechanics just don't work. It's a shame, seeing all its potential, that the game ends up being just an interesting entry in the series.

    Naruto's back once again and this time he wants to stay with Wii users. Clash of Ninja Revolution 3's basically the same game that we received last year, adding a brand-new online feature and a lame story mode. Its a 'sold' title for the fans, but just an interesting one for those who are looking for some fun.

    It's a good attempt to create a portable Assassin's Creed, but it has many gameplay flaws: not enough depth, it's repetitive and extremely simple. Also, visually it has several ups, but even more downs, so overall it's just fine. We hope to see improvements in future entries on this series on the PSP, as this game shows us that there is potential for a good handheld iteration.

    Sims 3: World Adventures couldn't be a more promising expansion for the Sims series. Far from limiting itself to a pack of goodies for your Sims, World Adventures opens new horizons for Sims players, introducing them to new game mechanics and new places that reinvigorate the game and make it more interesting and rich in content.

    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. Good, but not enough.

    Phantasy Star Zero is a good MMORPG for the Nintendo DS. There are some flaws like the camera or the slower combat system, but the game knows its limits, and it fares rather well on the handheld.

    The War on Terror never rests. The same goes for Infinity Ward, who raises the bar again with Modern Warfare 2. Its new campaign keeps delivering a cinematic, inmersive, and visually spectacular experience, while polishing AI and respawn issues, and offering a minimum of 8 hours of gameplay. Without a multiplayer rival, where it's as powerful as a Tactical Nuke, including a first approach to coop, and archiving excellence in every aspect, this last Call of Duty proves itself as a very solid candidate to become the game of the year.

    PES2010 hits the post this year. It's basically the same game we've enjoyed during the last 12 months, with same graphics and gameplay mechanics. Plus, there's no sign of the Online Features, and the only new inclusion's the UEFA Champions League. It's not that much, but it's still one of the most interesting football games for this handheld.

    Goku is back, but he's not as powerful as in previous entries. More characters and a new bunch of game modes, but its gameplay doesn't offer any new features. It's not a bad game, but it's neither what we all expected it to be.

    Reflex is Modern Warfare at its best. It's very much the same version that we saw on PS3 and XBox 360 two years ago, but set to be played with the nunchuk and the wiimote controllers. It's graphically amazing, with an outstanding sound and the same story that we enjoyed on the original version. It's a good option to expend your money if you're looking forward to buy the best FPS of this console.

    Monster Games has made a nice work with the latest version of Excitebike, being exactly the same game that we enjoyed 20 years ago on NES. The graphics are just fine, just like the gameplay style that hasn't change at all. If you want to find a nice arcade experience for the Wii, go get it. Its price's the best reason you've got to do it, considering it's an WiiWare exclusive.

    Shaun White returns with a children's game that is more simple and short. Diversion and good use of the Wii Balance Board and WiiMotion Plus for all the family. It needs more levels and less movement. Graphics and sound are acceptable.

    Bioware has managed to update and evolve the formula that made Baldur's Gate 2 a classic, creating an engaging, rich, and solidly fantastic universe that feels consistently coherent and credible. Dragon Age is a triumph that shows, among other things, how the core values of the traditional roleplaying genre are still valid, managing to include a complete and versatile combat system that welcomes new players and will challenge veterans, with difficult encounters where tactics are the key to victory. Overall, it's a really special RPG, which truly deserves to be called "epic".

    Jak and Daxter are back with a game that offers great visuals and gameplay, with many features that are worth it. Overall it's a good game, but we know that Jak's franchise can fare much, much better, and its pace in The Lost Frontier is not the ideal one.

    PES 2010 is a step forward in the series, much better than the entries in the last few years; but overall it's still behind its main rival, especially on the gameplay side. Animations and transitions aren't realistic, and it just offers a gameplay that its hardcore fans love. The best PES this generation, but that's not saying much.

    Star Wars: Elite Squadron is George Lucas' franchise as its best, or at least at the multiplayer features of the game. We've very much the same game that we saw a year ago on Renegade Squadron, with a new Campaign story mode that's set to discover every epic battle that we've saw on the original movies. And that's alright, but we were expecting something else of this adventure, mainly focused on the online.

    At first, it seemed that C.O.P.could be the best rival for Chinatown Wars on Nintendo DS, but despite having great visuals, it's far from perfection. A game with good ideas but without results; it's not the GTA rival many expected, but it's a good game overall.

    The same Guitar Hero franchise, but now it's time for Pop music. Including all features of Guitar Hero 5 with different tracklist, stages, vocalists and musicians, and inviting casual gamers to play guitars, drums, or just singing. Activision presents this new style for all kind of families, introducing real Popstars like Taylor Swift or Adam Levine as unlockable characters.

    Football Manager returns with further improvements. The new version allows us to maintain better control of our team during games, and also increase the quality of 3D visualization. FM 2010 goes deeper in the interaction with our players, media and the coaching staff, creating a great gaming experience with its fantastic artificial intelligence. Year after year, the series takes hold their place in the genre, adding new capabilities without sacrificing any of the features seen in previous versions. This sports title keeps on top of its genre, setting a benchmark for every football management simulator.

    Laughs and more laughs with the new adventure of crazy rabbits of Rayman. He isn't new but the Rabbids are the perfect protagonists of a great adventure with lots of exploration, humor and simplicity to manage. Ubisoft has done its work very well in almost all aspects of the game, only it has missed making a product less repetitive and more difficult.

    FIFA Manager 10 comes without extreme realism, but it is designed to reach our goals faster than other games of its kind. It is not necessary to trace a complicated path from the start of our career to our greatest achievement, because we will be able to get them from its own beginning. The graphics are superb, maybe the best we have seen in this game series. It is a smooth and enjoyable game, halfway between a simulator and a comprehensive management title.

    The fourth and second to last chapter of Tales of Monkey Island puts all the pieces of the game in their place for the end of this first season. "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood" is the largest episode thus far, and althought events are not as funny as in the past chapter, the level is, overall, remarkable, being delicious for demanding players. There are many things to improve, like the reuse of content, but TellTale has shown us, once more, that they're great making point'n'click adventures.

    If you're looking for a good adventure, Secret Files 2 offers almost everything that you could be wishing for. A good story, good graphics and that's all, because we're dealing with a simple but efficient point and click adventure that will satisfy anyone who usually enjoys playing with this genre.
