    Radiant Silvergun is one of the best shoot 'em ups that we've seen in the so-called next-gen. The co-op and the new online functions are welcome, and they just make better one of the most intriguing games of the late 90 decade.

    Markus Phoneix leaves the Xbox 360 with an enormous and well-told adventure that exceeds all expectations. A lot of online modes, great Horde 2.0 and all the gameplay that characterizes the journeys of Gears. Magnificent!

    Hard Reset is a visual and esthetic marvel, with a great performance and a good sense of graphic spectacle. Its combat is really good, offering a welcome back to old school FPS design and a true sense of challenge However, it's really short, ends abruptly and the story makes little sense, which is not the ideal situation to be for a pure single player game.

    Space Marine is a great first try for Relic in its attempts to move Warhammer 40,000 to a different genre. The combat system is very satisfactory and perfectly executed thanks to great work with animation and sounds effects and the artistic work recreating a Forge World is remarkable. It lacks a bit of audacity and ambition both in campaign and multiplayer, but it's a really promising first entry ina more action focused conception of this universe.

    The same game with better graphics. Star Fox 64 3D is a classic remake, fun, but with little added. The online modes are very simple. Fox works in 3D as we expected. No more.

    Team ICO's first two games were able to join the terms art and videogame in one single product. Ueda's studio delivered two astonishing titles thanks to their visuals, shocking the user through the design of the environments or the gigantic colossus. Both of them were able to produce different sensations in the player: love, loneliness, fear... they weren't just fun, but magnificent storytelling experiences. Two masterpieces that are now available in HD and 3D.

    A nice and interesting offer by WayForward, Betrayal's pure fun, as difficult as it's charming.

    Tanner returns, and with him the persecutions and gameplay running in the city. This San Francisco is big, with lots to do and different game modes. The Shift and the speed will not let you breathe. Pure adrenaline pretty well exposed. A splendid return.

    With great visuals and intense heart-pounding gameplay, completed with a replayable Campaign mode and a solid Multiplayer offering that fans of the saga (and gamers who look for a great FPS experience) will love, Resistance 3 turns into the best game in the series so far, making it an epic conclusion to Insomniac's and PlayStation 3's exclusive trilogy.

    Dead Island is a great game. It has many flaws in its visuals, and the first-person gameplay is hard to understand at first. But Dead Island delivers a big open world RPG game, with 4 player coop and many things to do on the island. Horror movie lovers and RPG lovers should give it a try.

    A divine game that behaves like a classical painting. Color and design in a game of jumps and nonstop action. Everything is traditional and uneventful, but everything is beautiful. El Shaddai is certainly a different product.

    Bodycount is a great idea for an FPS, but in the end it's not so neatly done. The AI is bad, its visuals need more polish and it gives you the feeling that you are repeating the same thing again and again; all these flaws are a burden to an amazingly fun gameplay. Also, its multiplayer is extremely lacking in game modes.

    Human Revolution is a superb refinement of the design ideas of Deus Ex. It's not so groundbreaking, but it compensates for it with an excellent taste for identifying the best elements of the Ion Storm classic and improving them, mixing in some great ideas of their own, like the use of the third person camera for infiltration and cover. A great sense of freedom, a compelling story, fantastic visual design and a terrific demonstration of excellence make Eidos Montreal a force to be reckoned with in the industry.

    As outstading as it can be, Takahashi's latest work is yet his greatest. Xenoblade Chronicles is the best JRPG that we've seen this year, and we could also say in this so-called next-gen.

    When you do strip away the deep religious overtones, what you have is one of the best action adventure platformers this year, with pacing that is often reminiscent of 8- and 16-bit side scrollers.

    Age of Empires is updated to compete against the latest versions of mobile and social games. The tactic is obvious: provide a free experience supported by optional subscriptions. The basis of the product are of good quality and adequate enough to attract different types of players, but the specifics details concerning expansions packs will define the user acceptance and the future of the bet ultimately. A very good job for now.

    Great story, great puzzles and great visuals, Daedalics does it again after the excellent The Whispered World and manage to create another great graphic adventure. Too bad the English voices and some weird translations from German undermine it a bit.

    The game has its good aspects, but it's a bit far away from what it pretended to be, mainly due to the lack of fresh ideas and its repetitive gameplay. A fun game with an interesting multiplayer, but not as good as it should be.

    From Dust is an outstanding approach to the long-forgotten God Genre, but with a few new elements that, combined, give this title a fresh look from what we're used to seeing on the digital market.

    As usual, EDF is charming and terribly fun in co-op, but lacking and even boring as a solo game. The simple and arcade nature of the game can't hide the fact it lacks better production values and needs more interesting mechanics to hold a candle against better action-focused alternatives.

    Catnip has done a fantastic job taking the original Boulder Dash into a new freshly-made title that looks superb on XBLA. Perfect fit for those looking for a great challenge.

    It's not the game we expected. The Cartel is disappointing because it fails to be a good FPS or to show something different. Its characters have no charisma and the gameplay is tough. Awkward and very cheap budgets, this game will be forgotten.

    Bastion's an outstading Action-RPG adventure in which we assume the role of a boy named The Kid. There's plenty to do here: customizing weapons and stuff is fun, but nevertheless, its most interesting feature its Bastion's storytelling. A must-have for the XBLA collection.

    An interesing story lacking anything that's worth to underline. Green Lantern can be satisfying: this time, his 'videogaming adventure' it's much better than the movie.

    The latest DLC content delivered by THQ is nothing more than an approach to Space Marines. It's fun and compelling, but lacks any feature that's worth underlining. Buy it if you're a die-hard. Look away if you're looking for something different.

    Harry Potter's latest adventure is basically a nice try to fix everything that didn't worked at Deadly Hallow's first chapter. The shooting scheme is nothing more than a waste of the original atmosphere, but nevertheless, it's still a worth-try-for-rental game if you're looking for something connected to the movies.

    Splosion Man is back again, but this time with a female character that's going to 'change the world'. Twisted Pixel made their best work with this one, a unique masterpiece that won't turn anyone off. Just don't miss it.

    This new game inspired in the Marvel universe is a title that lacks quality in every aspect. Only the fighting mechanics are great, as they are much better than any other aspect of the game. Captain America should have fared much, much better than this.

    This game is not fun and not work as fanservice. Dynasty Warriors must find another road to return to success. Gundam must find another way to make videogames. Its graphics effects are quick and colorful but it is pure repetition.
