The problem with Ghost Recon on Wii lies in its concept: too simple to be part of the original series and too serious and pseudo-realistic to be a real, enjoyable on-rail shooter. An experimental mixture that just doesn't work.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for the Nintendo Wii is definitely better than the first episode, both for graphics and controls. There has been no attempt to implement some real time lightsaber action in the game, however the character can execute dozens of moves and that's definitely fun.

Replicating the mechanics found in Just Dance, MJ The Experience manages to deliver a great casual game for the fans; but everyone else should just simply buy the better and more varied Just Dance 2.

Dead Nation is a top view shooter with solid gameplay and very nice graphics.

What's new in Mafia 2: Joe's Adventure, as the narration and Joe himself as main character, work just great. The problems are all related to what was already be implemented into Mafia II, as the IA and an extreme linearity of the missions. For those reasons the whole experience is a mixed bag advisable to everyone loved the original experience.

A good strategy game which suffers the presence of other great alternatives that came out during this year, and It's not able to stand out on any aspect.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 seems to take a step back from the first episode of the series. The game fails to develop some of the previously introduced gameplay elements, giving the impression to be still "under construction" from that point of view. The road taken on by Ubisoft is surely paved with good intentions, but the overall result is somewhat disappointing.

With a lot of options and modes, Bejeweled 3 It's the best Bejeweled game ever released and one of the best puzzle game out this year. Of course It follows an established formula but everything It's just so fun and polished that any fan of the series will play It for hours.

As for the previous releases, the third chapter in the series seems just one part of a biggest game, split to be sold three times: Descent It's very close to the other episodes and thanks to a good level design It's possible the best one. That said there are a several better top-down shooters and one of them, Alien Swarm, It's free too.

The 2011 edition of FIFA Soccer for PSP doesn't solve some old problems (such as team management and graphical interface), offers almost the same modes of last year's iteration but lacks of an online multiplayer mode.

DeathSpank takes roughly 8 hours to be cleared, an excellent length for a low-budget and cheap game.

DeathSpank may not have any big expectation but it is nevertheless very enjoyable and polished to be suggested to any player looking for a funny, fast adventure.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a brand new chapter for the saga in both mechanics and atmosphere. It's a competent third person action/adventure with a lot of things to do and great graphic, it's a shame it cannot be considered a masterpiece due to same oddly design choices and some sections made only to improve his length without any real gain.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Portable stands as one of the best fighting game available for PSP, thanks to a solid gameplay and a good number of characters, each with abilities that make it more or less suitable for a particular approach.

Atelier Rorona The Alchemist of Arland is a nice japan RPG with a classic turn based combat system, where you can control a young apprendist alchemist across a variety of situation in the world of Arland.

The Alchemist of Arland is ultimately a good game, especially for fans of the genre.

Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs is not a bad game which brings along some neat features, still it's way too similar to the prequels, especially Shadows of Almia, both visually and gameplay wise.

Though it's paved with courage and good intentions, the road of experimentation in videogames hides many, too many pitfalls. Ivy the Kiwi? comes as a fresh, delicate and dreamy experience, it's supported by a series of nice artistic choices and furthermore the price is very affordable. The downside, in the Wii version, is represented by the controls, that sometimes may ask you more speed and accuracy of what the Wii-mote is capable of.
