    Sega Rally Online Arcade is a fun and interesting game. The franchise returns to its roots and offers us its arcade gameplay of old. Unfortunately, it falls short of circuits, game modes and possibilities. But overall, it's an engaging experience that will keep players busy for many hours.

    Brink tries to present many good ideas, but it falls short and, in the end, it's just the same gameplay mechanics we've seen many times. The SMART system is not as dynamic as it should be; the game modes are all the same; the feeling, overall, is that we have a fun and interesting multiplayer game (even in its Campaign mode), but users are left without new emotions. Many customization options that, in the end, are nothing new.

    Lionhead has done a good job with the PC version -a bit late maybe compared with the original 360 launch- and it offers a good chance to PC players to experience the wonder and draebacks of Albion. A nice action-adventure game with some great touches that will interest people looking for something different.

    The lack of content is definitely the worst aspect of the new itinerance of MX vs ATV. The off-road franchise is more alive than ever before, with the best graphics and playability that we've seen this next-gen, but THQ's way of selling the game isn't the best to conquer the fanbase of this spectacular game.

    LA Noire is a very special adventure. An interactive thriller with interrogations, detective sources, charismatic characters and a great plot that make it into one of the best games of this generation.

    This (finally) uncensored version is a remake of the first No More Heroes, now in great looking HD. Suda 51 was the team involved in the development of the first game and we love their style, great sense of humor and exaggerated characters. Move is a great substitute for the Wiimote, and the lack of a Nunchuk is not a big deal for performing combos and wrestling attacks. And this time you can also use the DualShock 3 gamepad. The game is almost identical to the original one and we only have a few additions like the dreams (replay old cinematics) and nightmares (replay old battles). We had hoped for a major improvement in the visuals, but only the light effects are noticeably better. If you are looking for a extremely fun and unique action game for your PS3, don't think too much about this, just pick Heroes Paradise and start hunting assassins.

    Characters are well created and we love the cinematics and funny scenes in the game. We cannot say the same about the gameplay, as it's a bit repetitive and too similar to previous LEGO games, but still accessible for the whole family. You will enjoy it, that's for sure.

    It's a bit sad they were not able to improve or expand the original idea. At least, this team what they call the "supershot", a special shot that is almost unstoppable. You can use it whenever you fill it playing in your own style and we find this system really interesting, as it allows to have different type of players and more variety regarding CPU players.

    The fourth episode is a step back of what we see at the third one, pretty easy, short and only interesting for those who loves the movies. TellTale Games can make it better, we all know.

    Section 8: Prejudice has learned too much from the mistakes of its predecessor, but it isn't strong enough to become a clear choice in its genre. The game offers many hours of fun thanks to a fast-paced and fun multiplayer mode, but it still lacks of more depth, more options and a better use its potential. Anyway, it is a good example of FPS.

    We have played many times this game. It hasn't news and the use of the bad 3D is an excuse to sell it. Short, ugly and boring. It's not the funny puzzle that it was.

    Travel in a submarine is never a short trip. Steel Diver really is short, and although try to extend the fun, this does not appear as we thought. Miyamoto should scold his developers and search the great game that we expected.

    Maybe it's not the best platforming game in the market right now, but it's fun, it's simple and it offers many hours of gameplay. Fancy Pants Adventures is unique in its own way, and users can enjoy an overall great experience.

    Darkspore takes some parts of the evolution simulator Spore, but not enough to create a title able to beat its alternatives. If we forget that there once was a game called Spore, Maxis's new job is a fluid, agile and fun ARPG, perhaps too simple and repetitive but with enough hours of fun. A good way to spend time, but if you want greater depth you will find better it in other alternatives.

    The sequel to The Conduit's out on the streets, offering a bunch of new multiplayer options, graphics improvements and so on. The problem's that it's basically the same game with a few new gameplay modes, including the long-awaited cooperative. 'Tis a pity the plot isn't able the archieve something we haven't seen hundred times before, but still its a buy to consider if you want same fast-paced action.

    Although there were high expectations for this game, there isn't anything we expected. A huge setback for one of the most notorious characters today.

    Portal 2 is the great game that fans hoped. GLaDOS is back to make our life difficult. It doesn't allow us out of this hell that is the Aperture laboratory. Vegetation, more puzzles and many new challenges for one or two players.

    Red River greatly improves Dragon Rising, with a few tweaks in the gameplay, better combat and better management of the orders we can give to our squad. But due to a few visual issues and several problems with the AI, this game doesn't reach the level of ARMA. The co-op modes are the best of the game.

    Red River greatly improves on Dragon Rising, with a few tweaks in the gameplay, better combat and better management of the orders we can give to our squad. But due to a few visual issues and several problems with the AI, this game doesn't reach the level of ARMA. The co-op modes are the best parts of the game.

    Zipper Interactive returns to the development of its franchise in order to let us forget about Confrontation. SOCOM: Special Forces offer two different mechanics, tactics, giving orders to the members of our team, and stealth, using the korean soldier "45". A solid gameplay is followed by an amazing multiplayer mode that includes cooperative missions and lots of options for customization of the competitive modes. We wished Zipper Interactive had pushed a little bit more to reach the level of other PS3 exclusives like Uncharted or Killzone, but it is still a very unique and action packed experience.

    Mortal Kombat is a good fighting game and a great return of the series in the 2D battles. Less deep than other games, but funny and full of content, Mortal Kombat is the most violence game in the saga.

    Final Fantasy IV's latest collection is very much what the name says - a compilation of every chapter seen so far, including the original storyline and also The After Years. There's a cheap Interlude that last for three of four hours and a couple artworks that just make it. It's the 'definitive' collection, and thus the better choise to pick for those willing to enjoy the real JRPG essence.

    If given time we`re pretty sure that all the issues will be fixed, and after a few months Cliffs of Dover will be a master piece, but right now it falls short on some fronts. Stutters and low frame rates being the main problems.

    Another Dynasty Warriors and nothing new to see. The same repetitive gameplay is now structured in four different campaigns that extend the life of the game during dozens of hours, but you might get tired in the very first one. This button-smasher has barely evolved since the second installment and Dynasty Warriors 7 is not an exception: you won't find any surprises but the same kind of levels again and again. Only recommended for those who actually love the series, because they will find new weapons, characters and even a cooperative mode in the Conquest mode.

    Moon Diver is an "Old School" and the gameplay is based on the classic Strider, both created by Kouichi Yotsui. However it cannot even try to compete against its "father" in terms of variety or simple fun. A boring and almost impossible game for just one player, it turns more pleasant with up to four members of that awkard Ninja team in cooperative, but the lack of imagination in the design patterns, the repetitive enemies and the awful graphics are things we were not expecting. Definetely not the sequel we all are waiting for.
