Trials of St. Lucia is the second expansion to Dante's Inferno and it's better than Dark Forest. This DLC offers a full featured combat editor with which players can create, upload and share created trials with other players across the world and a online co-operative gameplay for two players with a new character. But not everything is perfect.

Even if It lacks of innovations and for someone could be a way too difficult, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter represents a jump back to another shooter era, now with an updated visual and some new multiplayer options.

This new Dead to rights may appeal to B-Movie fans. For everyone else this is just a decent game with too many problems and a dog which just barks and doesn't bite.

Nier is just a well done average game unable to live up to action rpg's fans expectations. Its combat system can be fun, but the less than stellar story and the plagued graphics don't help in winning this epic battle.

Street Fighter is back and this time it's really SUPER. More fighters, better graphics and gameplay. This is one to go for Beat'em up fans.

This edition of FIFA, devoted to the upcoming world soccer championship is not a simple more of the same of the last FIFA, but it's almost a brand new game, blessed by a great visual revamping, and some good fixings to gameplay. It's the best soccer game so far, despite the obvious lack of club teams and some game modes, but it's impossible not to recognize the great work made by Electronic Arts.

It's a decent, arcade-ish, multiplayer-oriented soccer game, but it suffers from being far too similar to FIFA 10, which definitely needed some improvements.

Despite some cheap animations and a lack of original ideas, The Whispered World is good adventure with a melancholic atmosphere, brilliant dialogue and beautiful hand drawn stages.

The PSP version of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa comes with a series of flaws that undermine the gameplay both in offline (poor IA, awful corner kicks) and online (heavy lag issues) modes. There are plenty of game modes, however, and fans of the series should give it a try.

DodoGo! is a very big surprise for DsiWare. A game where an egg it's the most important thing in the world, a puzzle where a Dodo it's your best friend. 800 Dsi point are well spent for one of the best game of the DSiWare.

Drake's Fortune Multiplayer Pack does not add a lot to Uncharted 2: Among Thieves but the two new maps designed by Naughty Dogs are visually awesome and enjoyable. At a cheap price you will gain two excellent maps, six new characters and new Trophies. This content is easily avoidable if you do not dig a lot into the Uncharted 2 multiplayer online mode but if you enjoy a daily frag or two, then look no further while waiting for the next update.

The Passing adds good quality, three maps campaign and a couple of new competitive modes that worth the price on the 360 console and are a gift on the PC. Good work Vale, good work.

Fast, spectacular and exciting, After Burner Climax looks like the perfect remake of the classic arcade game. The choice of three different planes but also the novelty of the Climax Mode increases the depth of the gameplay, but the game is far too short to last more than a few days.

Monster Hunter Tri expands the original formula with a bunch of new features and very well improved online multiplayer modes that make the game one of the best in the series and a must buy for any Wii owner.

If you have already purchased any of the remakes of Final Fight, you could easily consider this Double Impact bundle as an expensive and unattractive product. If not, this is your best chance to buy it: the game comes with a very good online multiplayer mode, and you also get a decent bonus title.

Sam & Max are back and the first episode of the third season does not change the formula: humor, puzzles and a crazy detective dog with his fellow assistant. New Max's powers and an intricate storytelling are good enough to keep you playing for this good 4-5 hours adventure.

Conviction can't be the perfect epilogue for the saga. The new Sam Fisher's adventure is well structured, with a fluid and fast gameplay and an intricate and addictive plot but it has several technical glitches and imperfections. But if you don't mind about these problems, you'll play Conviction from the start until the end and will appreciate every single part of its gameplay.

Far from being a masterpiece, The Scourge Project: Episodes 1 and 2 for a budget price offers a single player campaign that lasts about five hours, an interesting co-op mode for four players and a series of classic multiplayer competitive modes.

Waiting for dedicated servers, Lead and Gold is a good multiplayer game with some small but nice ideas that take advantage of the Far West setting.

Short and uninspired, Kasumi surpass in quality other Bioware's downloadable contents but remains far away from Mass Effect 2 quality level.

Still good, Tiger Woods Online is a missed opportunity. Free stuff worth a try and the engine let it to be played on any PC, It's so a shame that you need to pay just too much for additional contents and to enjoy the complete experience.

Gameplay mechanics are probably boring on the long run, but fans of the TV show will surely like the way developers handled this license with a new side story and character.

Din's Curse is just another Diablo clone. Ok, maybe It tries to put some innovations to the original formula but, at the end of the story, offers the some experience with some not so inspired design choices and a mediocre graphic.

Even if it's not suitable for everyone, Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love really deserves a chance. With his astonishing artworks, good amount of variety and entertaining battles, the game will certainly make any otaku happy. Despite the poor 3D and the unbearable sound effects, it definitely is one of the best visual novels so far.

Poor graphics, bad animations and a lack of polish make Samurai Shodown Sen a bad surprise for all of the brand's fans.

For those who tend to respect the work of videogame developers, maybe finding the good where others have not bothered to look, dealing with a product like Dead or Alive Paradise is somewhat shocking. Apart from the overwhelming "fan service", apart from the almost-nude pretty girls which in theory should tickle the lowest instincts of us, there is very little to justify the purchase of this "game".

The main problem with the Stimulus Package is that real new content is really not much, given the price of admittance. Hardcore fans are buying it anyway, but the value isn't there.

Better graphics, gameplay and new multiplayer modes makes this Mount and Blade Warband a must buy for everyone likes its predecessor. Now we just have to wait for the loads of great mods will come out in the next months.

Wario Ware is a game which has been created for those who want to develop video games, not for those who want to play. If you are interested in this kind of products, you'll be more than happy with DIY.

Just Cause 2 is way better than the first episode, much more action packed than the usual GTA style game, and also grants great fun thanks to the well devised grappling hook's mechanics. But the game it's not all just about shooting and grappling we can also drive more than one hundred vehicles and fly choppers, Cessna and powerful jet fighters.

Red Steel 2 is a great game with a great gameplay. There are many action games, also quite popular, that give you dozens of combos when you come to only use a couple: this doesn't happen in RS2, the moves are introduced gradually and are all equally useful and effective. Ubisoft has done a really good job, from this point of view.

If the intention was to create a good arcade racer, MotoGP 09/10 seems to be an almost successful attempt. The game offers plenty of modes, but loses all the realism of the previous episode.

Rooms The Main Building it's a nice puzzle game that won't turn the genre upside-down. But if you like this kind of games, it's a pleasant addiction to the DS library.

Settlers 7 does not innovate the formula it belongs to but offers a good quantity and quality of different contents. If you like the genre and can manage the dull DRM, It could be a nice experience.

Perfect Dark is not a game for everyone. Many things have changed since it first came out on the N64, but still it is worth to play through especially if you haven't played it, back at those times. Old gamers will surely love it.

Infinite Space delivers an extremely rich plot and numbers that stand out, but while playing we often had the impression that all interactive phases are a mere side dish to a sort of (slightly) interactive cartoon. In short, this is an adventure that RPG fans will love, but in terms of fun it doesn't offer anything special.

The main issue of Command & Conquer 4 is its worthless single player campaigns, too short and just not fun as they were supposed to be. Multiplayer modes are a far better experience, both in cooperative and competitive, but the overall product remains inferior to other good strategy games out this year.

The game has one big problem: the shooting doesn't work as it should. And that's bad because Metro 2033 has a wonderful atmosphere, a really good plot and its gameplay is very physical.

God of War III is a pure extraordinary action game, where the developers have achieved a perfect mix between story, gameplay and visual aspect. Its without a doubt the best possible ending for this acclaimed trilogy, and a must buy for every PlayStation 3 owner.

Fragile Dreams is definitely better than the sum of its parts: while there are some gameplay and controls issues, the excellent work made by Tri Crescendo in terms of setting, characters and storyline is really what will make you go on until the credits roll.

Despite few bugs and some unbalances due to new powers and an higher level cap, Awakening in a twenty hours long run that worth the money It costs and will make every Origins' player happy. After some miss-able DLCs, Bioware is back at It's best.

Graphics aren't its strongest selling point, but if you can overcome its shortcomings, you will enjoy a really good game, avoiding frustration which may prevent you from walking through the first part of the game.

GTI Club: Supermini Fiesta! comes with a series of technical flaws that affect even its gameplay. The game delivers a good online multiplayer mode and lots of crazy challenges, but almost no real race. That's ridiculous.

A pleasant and funny game with old gameplay mechanic is always welcome in a console lineup, especially when we talk about Wii-Ware and a low price title like Rage of Gladiator, recommend to all the old Punch Out fans and many others.

So many times we have heard speaking of Pokémon as a game for children, a B-series RPG. So false. Whoever spent a few hours on any issue of the franchise will surely agree on the excellent quality of one of the best and most addictive RPGs on the market. Too bad it keeps recycling itself: HeartGold and SoulSilver are the best issues in the series but at the same time they do not offer anything really new to newcomers and old fans, aside for a cute device.

Chaos Rising is the perfect expansion: everything you can expect from an add-on is there. A good single player with a story that follows Dawn of War II and several new things in the multiplayer starting from the new faction, the Chaos. The only negative aspect of the game is that the newcomers may feel it too complex, and only those who have played Dawn of War II will have the complete experience.

Scrap Metal is a fun game that, given the right extra effort, could have ranked in top spots of the XBLA quality chart list. As it is, its drawbacks are too many to be forgivable, but it's still a fun multiplayer experience.

The Eye of Judgment is a niche game which will appeal only fans of the genre. As such, this porting is obviously a quite complete production which is based on the very same solid and deep rules of the original game, allowing a deep customization.

Final Fantasy XIII is a huge, incredibly well realized game with a brand new and spectacular combat-progression system made even better by top notch visual and sound. Unfortunately these good features have to face some serious flaws like the unnecessary linearity and the too hard difficulty level.

Despite the foolish DRM and six months after the consoles release, Assassin's Creed 2 is still an incredible adventure with a deep and rich world, an engaging story and loads of contents.

Yakuza 3 is a good game, it depicts Japan as no one game has done before, but its mechanics and its visuals sometimes are too old school, like the game was a blast from the past. But its biggest flaw is the pace, the game starts a little bit slow and the continuous random combats in the city could be a little bit tedious.

Calling delivers a great atmosphere, and it's really one of those games which will make shivers run down your spine; on the other hand, its basic gameplay and so-so graphics keep it from being a must-buy for survival horror fans.

Toy Soldiers is a really recommended XBLA game, both for those who love action and strategic games. It has some technical issues, but it's overall worth the 1200 MP requested to buy.

With Desperate Escape, Capcom wanted to provide extreme action to Resident Evil 5 fans and they mostly succeeded in every respect. It's a bit too simply structured for its own good and storytelling is really too simple compared to main game and other DLC's in the series, but it's still a competent and fun effort.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a great game, with astounding visuals, but it can be a little bit disappointing to the old Company fans. Linear and in some way over scripted, wide open spaces are now replaced by more tightened ones, but they can be completely flattened thanks to the evolved Frostbyte 2.0 engine.

Silent Hunter V simplify some aspects of the previous games, achieving however a good mix between simulation and atmosphere, fun and a deep experience. It's so a shame that there are so many bugs and technical flaws.

Getting back to planet Lunar ten years later is almost poignant. XSeed's remake is likely a tender fan's work, such it is faithful to the source. Gameplay and technical improvements barely alter the feeling of a ol' story, more a tale than a drama. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony is a ol' game as well. Fans of Japanese rpgs and Lunar series will absolute love this piece of art.

Alice in Wonderland's gameplay evolves around a simple concept: you have a number of characters with different abilities, and you must use them in combination to overcome obstacles. As you go through the adventure and the group grows, the puzzles become more complex and fascinating. A pity you can beat the game in less than six hours.

Alice in Wonderland for Nintendo DS comes as the classic game for kids, since the adventure is pretty linear and it can be completed in a few hours with little effort. However, the graphics are very cool and the controls are intuitive. Definitely it's worth a try.

Chris Taylor and his Supreme Commander are back with the same structure of the first episode and a bunch of new features related to the single player campaign, now with a strong narrative component, and more easy to pick up mechanics. The result is a must buy for the strategy audience.

With his faithful reproduction not only of a graphic style, but of the overall spirit of the original 2D action game, Mega Man 10 stands as an example of a constructive approach to the vintage taste in videogaming. More than just a tribute, this game is a good new episode of the series and a very hard and exciting challenge.

A 20 dollars expansion that adds multiplayer modes and smaller features. A nice offer for the more enthusiastic players of the original game.

Greed Corp is an addictive and rewarding strategic game that stands out in a genre that usually is not console-friendly at all. If you like this kind of games, you'll love Greed Corp.

Echoshift is obviously a spiritual sequel to Echochrome not just by a technical point of view but especially on the concept field: it's a neat puzzle-game which challenges the player's timing, cunning and memory. Echoshift tries to be accessible to everyone: advanced stages are very complicated but never frustrating, while the combination of the concept with the how-to-do is extremely balanced.

It's really difficult to judge Heavy Rain. The new David Cage masterpiece is something to love or to hate without any compromise. But this duality is something typical for the excellence: Heavy Rain is strongly emotional and represents a new way to think about videogames. A way where the plot and the quality of narrative become more influential than the gameplay.

Despite the lack of artificial intelligence and the more closed campaign structure, Napoleon: Total War has dozens of small and big new features, nice multiplayer options and a new approach to the series.

A fun and exhilarating experience heavily relying on what Nintendo did with the Mario Kart series over the last few years. It may be not the best in its genre, but it's surely worth a try and an overall well packed game.

If you are looking for the second best kart racer on the DS, or if you are tired of the usual Nintendo universe, look no further: Sonic & Sega all-star racing on the DS is a great game.

General Knoxx is exactly the kind of DLC that the fans of Borderlands were hoping for: a brand new set of missions with new enemies, locations and loots. The high difficulty setting, especially on the second run, makes this DLC perfect for those who reached the previous level cap.

Endless Ocean 2 is a step forward for the series: this time there is a nice plot and a real ending to achieve, but the game doesn't lose its fundamental relaxing and fascinating nature. While it may be still too slow for some, Endless Ocean 2 will surely appeal to much more gamers this time around.

Bonfire of the Vanities is overall a much better experience than the Battle of Forlì, however is not an essential purchase and misses the level of polish and quality of the main quest.

This is really one of the XBLA must have games. Different elements get together nicely to please most videogamers tastes. Unless they really hate demanding games.

With this DLC, Capcom tried hard to both deepen Resident Evil 5's storyline and please seasoned fans of the saga, who still want more survival horror action. And Capcom mostly succeeded in this intent, but the game in itself is really too short to be more than a nice addition.

The game confirms its strengths and its limitations at the same time. The auto-aim places great emphasis on action rather than strategy, but ends up making the firefights really too easy. The single player campaign lasts only a few hours, but multiplayer modes work great for up to 16 players with voice chat. Fans of the series will not be disappointed, definitely.

A good campaign, the marine one, and some variety in gameplay mechanics provide a quite fun experience. Unfortunately some ideas lack polish and the other two-thirds of the single player are just not as good as they were supposed to be.

While not, by far, the revolution in the series Capcom promised us, Investigations is probably the best Ace Attorney yet. Those which are introduced as new elements, are actually better versions of the old, loved ones, and all in all this is a good thing. Furthermore, Edgeworth is a very well crafted character and he alone could justify this new episode. Another great game in the series!

BioShock 2 is the general improvement of the first title. Everything about the gameplay is better, from the action to the level design. The plot is involving and the player has a continuous sense of progression with new weapons, monsters or plasmids. But there are several problems from the technical aspects to the aquatic sections of the game and above all BioShock 2 is a constant deja-vu. It is wonderful, very wonderful but not wonderful as the first game.

Dante's Inferno is a decent action game packed with 60 frames per second and a lot of fun. Some problems related to the gameplay, the story and balance of difficulty prevents it from being on par with the best action games around.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope International is being released in the shadow of Final Fantasy XIII which is however much less traditional than this Tri-Ace release of the acclaimed sci-fi series and its JRPGesque features: cities, quests, optional content, secret bosses, lengthy and elaborate dungeons. Although not standing out visually speaking, Star Ocean: The Last Hope offers an enjoyable plot and interesting characters together with an outstanding battle system and quite a lot of features which make it a long-lasting and compelling game.

Call of Pripyat has more varied missions and a really unique atmosphere which makes it better than Clear Sky and the most polished in the series.

Cryptic did well recreating the Star Trek universe and the space combat works just fine. It's so a shame that ground episodes are that bad and the experience feels less massive than It was supposed to be.

White Knight Chronicles isn't the best JRPG of current consoles generation, especially because it does not have a great graphical impact or a very original story line. Anyway, thanks to a fair online play mode and a good gameplay that mixes MMORPG and classic role play games elements it's still a decent game.

Legends of Exidia is a mature and complete game that represent a significant step forward for the Nintendo internet based service DSi-Ware. This adventure is a good action-rpg based on the old style Japanese titles of the '90, but lacks the magic of the true classics.

The Battle of Forlì is a disappointing DLC that is build on some of the weakest parts of the original game; not really an essential purchase then, even at the low price point.

If you can get over the compromises through which the X360 version went starting from the PC one, you may enjoy a fun and compelling game. Board game's fans should surely give a close look.

Modern, fascinating and truly innovative, Mass Effect 2 is a brand new take for the western rpg, Bioware reached a perfect mix between action and storytelling, graced by stunning visuals and a long and challenging gameplay.

Modern, fascinating and truly innovative, Mass Effect 2 is a brand new take for the western rpg, Bioware reached a perfect mix between action and storytelling, graced by stunning visuals and a long and challenging gameplay.

While it unavoidably looses the shock factor of the prequel, No More Heroes 2 is overall a better game, boosting some well-designed new content and leaving behind many of the so-so features of the first game.

Even if we had to wait a long year for the game to get outside Japan, Tatsunoko vs Capcom is still a great beat'em up, filled with content and boosting a nice online mode.

MAG delivers a massive online multiplayer for up to 256 players, a good matchmaking and almost no lag. The maps are huge, but they come with a mediocre design and you can see only four of them when you choose your army. The frame rate has frequent issues, while the sound effects are mediocre. We were expecting more from Zipper Interactive's PS3 debut.

UNO is a fun and fast game even in this Wii-Ware version, supported by a good online mode and wii-speak. Some live chat issues and lack of options make this version not perfect, but is still a game for everyone that can entertain for a long time everybody in the family.

Dark Void sounds a lot like a missed opportunity. Flying sections are good, but samey, and ground ones are nice, but could have been much better and Dark Void is over a little too soon, too.

Starhip Patrol is another great game from the Q-Games team; a perfectly balanced and accessible tower defense, with tons of style and great value for money. One of the rare gems on the disappointing DSiWare catalogue.

The '80 are back in action with another original work by Capcom: Dark Void Zero is a brilliant but short platform adventure similar to masterpieces like Metroid and Castlevania.

Muscle March has many flaws in terms of gameplay and control detection and it's also really short in its single player mode. Nevertheless, this is an entertaining game to play with friends (even for a short time), with a characterization that surely will bring many laughs for everyone.

Vancouver 2010 offers fourteen sports, thirty challenges and an poor online multiplayer: too little to compete even with SEGA's previous Olympic effort, Beijing 2008. The game delivers very good graphics and sound, but lacks of a career mode.

A short and insipid dlc which doesn't add nothing to the original game. Five dollars are just too many for this kind of experience.

EA listened to a lot of gamers' complaints about the first Army of Two and delivered a much better effort under almost every respect. This game is a fun coop experience which has its moments even when played on your own. In this case, by the way, you may notice IA unsolved problems and that you are actually roaming one single setting, even if it's very well done.
