    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Another Code: R is an interactive novel at every level. That means that, gameplay-wise, there's not much to see, and mainly it's a text adventure. But, overall, it's a compelling story, with some nice puzzles, and charming characters. Cing delivers a good game, even when it's their worst work yet.

    R-Type and R-Type II, two classics coin-ops, are together in R-Type Dimensions. Two graphics modes: original 2-D and all new 3-D in high definition. Game modes can be played as single player or multiplayer missions, either locally or over Xbox LIVE. A good retro pack with reminds the quality of this Shoot'em Up.

    This atypical reinvention of the classic tale of revenge and redemption in the context of the classic samurai battles could have it's own artistic values, but its flaws makes this Afro Samurai game less interesting than it could be in the end. Samuel L. Jackson's voice, RZA's music and the cell-shading artistic, bloody aspect cannot stand a repetitive gameplay too focused on hacking and slashing while using the 'focus' mode and Final Bosses don't do their work, either.

    Operation Anchorage is the virtual representation of one of the most important conflicts in the history of Fallout, the battle between China and USA for Alaska. But where Fallout 3 is an experience of free wandering in a fascinating scenario, this expansion is a surprisingly linear and limited experience that misses many of the finest points of the original game.

    Skate was the first interesting alternative to the monopoly of Tony Hawk and its sequel improves many aspects of it, adding new features like multiplayer modes. Some AI problems and a lack of innovation over the fist one are the big problems of this title.

    A great game, only possible thanks to the XBLA, because otherwise it wouldn´t have been released. Fun, compelling, pretty, with a lot of humour, good graphics, gameplay and sound... a charming game with a great price, recommended for everyone. Unfortunately, it's too short and it does not offer much for replays.

    This remake of the revolutionary driving game hasn't improved the original work. However, we get a simple arcade game with lots of personality for the PlayStation Network. Its game mechanics, the circuit design and the lack of a solid multiplayer mode -especially a split-screen one- makes it just a plain fun game.

    Lord of the Rings: Conquest offers the player the same gameplay from the Star Wars: Battlefront franchise, but located in the Middle Earth. Pandemic had a great idea including two different campaigns; we love being the bad guys. But the game is a bit repetitive and offers little variety along the 16 different levels and the graphic are far from the finest examples of this generation. Although LOTR isn't a AAA game, you'll have a good time with it thanks to a great multiplayer mode.

    A2M has maintained the spirit of The Lord of the Rings: Conquest in the DS version of the game. Pandemic's game has been perfectly ported to this machine and we'll find a very similar gameplay. However, it has some technical problems like frame drops or pop-in affects and the AI don't help us at all, so we are alone against the world. But, if you are able to forget these issues, you may enjoy this title.
