    Killzone 2
    Killzone 2 rises from the ashes of the E3 2005 trailer to prove itself as even better; the most outstanding, immersive and technologically advanced first person shooter available for any console on the market. The dark and grim world created by Guerrilla hosts a crude conflict on Helghast soil, divided in 10 acts packed with a variety of situations portrayed with an epic tone. With a polished enemy AI, a huge multiplayer, a well balanced and powerful arsenal, 7.1 sound, great voice acting among some other strong points, few complaints can be made; only the lack of coop and some roughness in the allied AI. The rest is faithful and loyal to the promise Guerrilla made 4 years ago. Mission accomplished.

    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is a tedious game. The gameplay consists in shoot everything, take cover, and shoot all over again. At least, the initial idea (control a star of video games in a bad moment of his career) is funny, and there are a plenty of jokes to laugh at.

    Stoked
    Lacking the hype, but surprising us all. Stoked is a good snowboarding game, with a great gameplay for both newcomers and experts. Many things to do, both online and offline, with several good ideas that create a fun experience. Interesting choice for snowboard lovers.

    50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
    A mixture of genres that lacks personality, with a very light script, not very original and with limited cooperation between characters. It offers a great move set and weapons, and it's a fun experience, but not a deep experience.

    Star Ocean: The Last Hope
    Despite the technical flaws (horrible camera, not so impressive visuals, bad voice over...), Star Ocean is a game that delivers a great experience, thanks to its fun and deep gameplay, the many things we can do, and the development of characters. Unfortunately, the story is not as charming as it should have been.

    Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
    Dead Rising: Chop till you Drop has finally made it to the Wii with a joyful gameplay system that lacks a graphics engine too old, without any trace of the camera. The story's very much the same, without any changes at all, except one; we've lost the sandbox element to include a linear mechanic. Its a good game though not exactly as good a the Xbox 360 version.

    ShellShock 2: Blood Trails
    Rebellion's game positions uncomfortably between the greatest shooters currently on the market. Its poor technical side together with a boring level design, basic AI and the lack of variety in game modes, end up shaping a title that will soon surely fall into oblivion.

    Tomb Raider Underworld: Beneath the Ashes
    The follow-up to the latest Lara game uses the same engine, offers some brand new environments and storyline. But, overall, it lacks depth, it's far too short and quite expensive for what it offers. Good ideas, not so well developed.

    Drakensang: The Dark Eye
    The epic world of The Dark Eye arrives ten years later to our PC. Based on a board RPG game, Drakensang features some interesting ideas that bring back to life some of the best moments of the classic. Featuring ideas from Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights franchise, the game packs a good set of rules with good-looking graphics and nice sound. At the end, it doesn't get to be a high budget production, but still gives the player great moments and great value that is worth the money.

    Noby Noby Boy
    Keita Takahashi, Katamari Damacy's creator, offers us this new and original game exclusively for PlayStation 3. Noby Noby Boy is a game without rules, endless, in which fun is mixed with random situations and a surreal world. A simple game, cheap, and extremely fun.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
    Relic tries to renew the genre with the sequel of the well known Dawn of War universe. This new iteration features deeper gameplay, focused on the action. Dawn of War II does not include the classic base management, and replaces it with a direct control on the evolution and level progress of your units. A good title packed with a poor multiplayer map array, being one of their problems. A great game that achieves to represent the perpetual war on the 40th millennium.

    Race Pro
    Race Pro offers a conduction simulator with an until now unknown depth in console. This game counts on personalization possibilities that astonish by their number and depth, besides a demanding control and a gameplay measured to the millimeter. Unfortunately, graphics are a bit gritty.

    Street Fighter IV
    Capcom reincarnates the essence of the classic Street Fighter II in this fourth chapter: a tribute to the old school 2D fighting genre embodied with outstanding visuals and online capabilities. Street Fighter IV should be considered a new climax among beat-'em ups: perfect in its execution, solid gameplay, addictive as a masterpiece, and extremely fun. It is only weakened by a few pale scenarios and uncharming tunes, not to mention Capcom's decision to charge for the alternate costumes.

    Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned
    Live to ride, ride to live. Lost & Damned is finally out with a bunch of new goodies that'll take the DLCs to a new level compared to what we've seen so far on this generation of consoles. Johny Klebitz is a very interesting character that resembles the style of Niko Bellic --not much talking but definitely a lot of action in a complete and fully new GTA experience. New multiplayer modes, weapons, primary and secondary missions and hours of joy in a new benchmark for the DLC.

    Art of Murder: Hunt for the Puppeteer
    Another point and click adventure, following the original Art of Murder. As its predecessor, it lacks depth and it's quite hard, offering user huge amounts of items and little room for experimentation. Good graphics and sound, but without a compelling story.

    Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
    This game takes what it needs to become one of the greatest RPGs of the Dual Screen, with a superb story that pushes everything what we've seen so far beyond the limits. Its not the perfect Dragon Quest though,with too many combats and a weak monster system that still have to prove its real value. We'll be looking forward to DQVI.

    Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
    Shadow Dragon is a very good Strategic RPG in which we'll be able to play the role of an imperial prince who has to save his world. Its a fair game, with good graphics and very much the same gameplay that made Fire Emblem famous. The multiplayer feature is still a work in progress, so perhaps next time.

    flower
    A game only possible thanks to the PSN. Different, unique, completely different from what we are used to seeing in our consoles. A beautiful experience, with a really nice soundtrack, great gameplay and, overall, a pleasure for the users. Main problems: too short, and extremely linear. But it's worth it.

    F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
    Alma is back, with a game too similar to the original F.E.A.R. The same great gameplay, along with a few good scares, aren't enough to cover all the issues present in the game: graphics-wise is almost the same game, but with a different story. A good game, but it could have been so much better that it's a bit of a disappointment.

    Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers
    Onechanabra: Bikini Zombie Slayers is one of the weirdest games of Wii, a bizarre combination between action and gore, that takes all what it needs to entertain. Its a shame that the graphic engine fails in every way trying to exploit this console's possibilities.

    LocoRoco 2
    Even with some new touches and a increased difficulty, there are little changes in this sequel, which is probably the big problem here. The game keeps being as charming and enjoyable as the first one, so it´s perfect for those who love LocoRoco, but it lacks the sense of surprise and discovering of the first one.

    Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection
    40 of Sega's greatest games of all time. With its new added features (HD filters, interviews, museum, achievements and trophies, and so on) and its perfect emulation, this disc is ideal for all those lovers of retro-gaming. Many of this games are really valued today, and at a budget price, it's a great deal.

    The House of the Dead: Overkill
    Possibly, the greatest grindhouse game ever. Great sense of humour, a lot of gore and, technically, one of the best games available on the Wii. Unfortunately, it's very short, as always is the case with on-rails shooters. But, overall, it's a unique experience, and an incredible arcade game.

    Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad
    A girl, a cowboy hat and a pair of katanas are not a serious argument in any way. Onechanbara features three different characters involved on a nonsense background story, but the main attraction of the game is seeing the half naked girls slashing and cutting hordes of zombies. Too bad to be good, and so it is. Onechanbara packs as one of the worst Xbox 360 games, featuring production values that resemble some of the games on the mid 90´s

    Deadly Creatures
    Rainbow Studios has made an strange game, a particularly bizarre one. It's an intriguing game that suffers from a lack of a deeper storyline. Its graphics are enough to make this game comfortable for any kind of player who is willing to discover a new way of understanding the greatness of Nature.

    X-Blades
    A bland action game with several problems like terrible targeting system, lack of variety on enemies and movements, a very simple animation system and poor graphics. Having a good looking main character can't save a lacking title like this one.

    Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
    Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box is a great compilation. It offers the same game as last year's game, but with all the added features that appeared as DLC thought the year. Really fun to play, with a great technical level and several game modes that offer hours and hours of terminal velocity. Highly recommended for lovers of racing games.

    Tenchu: Shadow Assassins
    Acquire has made its job innovating with a franchise that was almost set up to death. Our objective is to kill without being noticed, so we'll definitely use shadows to hide and to proceed with an instant murder. Quite impressive visuals lacking a better gameplay system is very much what we're going to find on the latest installment of Tenchu.
