Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is absolutely one of the masterpieces you will play this season for PlayStation Portable, but also one of the best games even made of the entire Square Enix saga. If you are a fan of Kingdom Hearts, or simply you like the action RPG genre, buy this game.

Dj Hero 2 is in every way improved over last year, with a better balanced tracklist, new gameplay mechanics and a more than decent multiplayer. The career mode should be improved more tough, but the game is highly recommended for rhythm games fan.

Let's start with a premise: beware of those who, overcome by frustration and difficulty, will tell you that there's nothing good in Splatterhouse. This remake pays tribute to the original arcade game in the best possible way, adding details and time travels to an already engaging story. The gameplay is extremely raw and unforgiving, which will make you scream out of frustration several times, but it also will definitely keep you glued to the screen for all twelve levels.

We really felt the lack of a "tower defense" for PlayStation 3, and Swords & Soldiers provides an excellent fix for this gap. Sold at a very affordable price, the game offers three involving, rich and thick single player campaigns, that will keep us busy for a long time, together with an nice multiplayer mode, both locally or online.

Toy Story 3: The Videogame is geared toward a young audience but it is also a funny game that can "catch" players that still like to be captured by this kind of atmosphere. The free roam section is also surprisingly funny and well executed.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Predator is a game with some good potential that comes partially limited from some structural defects. The missions don't have varied enough objectives, the artificial intelligence of the enemies is insufficient and the level of difficulty is sometimes frustrating. But fans of tactical shooters will find some enjoyment out of the game, such as the multiplayer mode. Ultimately it's not a bad game but not a masterpiece either.

If you are a fan of the arcade or not, doesn't care. Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a badly bundled collection. Aiming and shooting with the Move is simple and fun, but the three arcade titles would have been better if the game wasn't so permissive. The FPS mode in Razing Storm hasn't learned anything from the best shooters on the Wii, offering a slow, uncomfortable and very much rough combat system.

With the addition of the Dance, SingStar could become the complete artistic experience, with until 4 players simultaneous singing and dancing together. Move implementation is very impressive, but just for one hand: the other movements are still interpreted by the software, sometimes very well but not ever with the same precision. It's not a dance simulator, but it's sure a fun generator!

From stunning snow-capped mountains to grey, oppressed city, Shaun White keeps inspiring guys like the one you control in the game, who has the ability to change the reality by doing some tricks with its skateboard. Shaun White Skateboarding's premise is great, but fails to deliver due to boring mission-based gameplay.

It's clear that fans of Jigsaw, those who know everything about the Saw movie franchise and appreciated the first tie-in, will also enjoy this sequel. The fact is the game could have been way better than this. The puzzles are very repetitive, and the lack of a real combat system further devalues the title, which would have benefited of more action.

There are way too many party games on Wii: that's why the main issue of Pac-Man Party is that it does absolutely nothing to stand out in the crowd.

Maybe Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom will not win the award for the best visual achievement of the year, but it's a great (and very long) action adventure game, fully focused on environmental puzzles, unfortunately with just a simple combat system and a lot of necessary but annoying backtracking plagued by a strange respawn system.

Ace Combat: Joint Assault somewhat tries to bring the franchise up to date without being totally successful. New multiplayer features are interesting and add to the overall length of the game, on the other side gameplay is still the same and perhaps a bit too much simple and repetitive. Fans of the franchise will love the excellent visuals and wide range of missions, which make this installment a good start for new players and veterans alike.

It's clear that the PSP version of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 comes as a reduction, in the literal sense, of what's available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. So the graphics aren't awesome, but there are like seventy characters (many of which you have to unlock) and a lot of game modes and stipulations. Too bad for the dull gameplay and cumbersome controls.

Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage is a classic and dated beat'em up with a poor graphics and a not perfect gameplay. But it will satisfy any fan of the manga. If you are not among them, you should definitely look somewhere else.

Sadly, The Fight is all-air, focusing first on aesthetics, then content. Calibrating the Move before every match is just a pain, while combats doesn't give any satisfaction to the player: the character is too slow and his punches are so inaccurate. The game doesn't adapt itself to the player's ability, but it's just the opposite, with the player that must submit to pitiless rules and a bad implemented controller.

Low difficulty setting, way too simple objectives and a shallow plot: H.A.W.X. 2 looks like aimed at a younger user base, which is quite in contrast with the basic concept of a Tom Clancy's game. It's not a bad rail-shooter overall but most of the features developed by Ubisoft do not save this game from mediocrity.

Sorry to the purists, but this is the kind of Sonic we would like to see ever. Challenging, clever and amazingly fast, where the levels always hide new routes to discover, and every boss is original and never dull. The Wisps allow you to replay every stage in a different way, while two friends can compete face-to-face in the Versus mode, both local and through Wi-Fi Connection. The single-player campaign is pretty short , but you will never have the chance to get bored. In short, if you have been disappointed by Sonic 4 Episode 1, and you are not skeptical about a less platform experience, you really can't miss what is the true return of Sonic.

Definitely better than last year's effort, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 for PSP delivers great graphics, an excellent interface and a large number of game modes. Unfortunately there's no online multiplayer, the teams aren't up-to-date (but you can fix this manually) and some of the physics are questionable.

Rabbids: Travel in Time is a solid party game, packed with a bunch of good laughs and some original mechanics: however, it's kinda short on minigames and not every one of them is properly polished. Still, it's one of the best entries in the genre.

It was supposed to be the Gears of War of PS3 at least before turning into a multiplatform game, a project that would have brought to the Sony console a worthy competitor to the Xbox 360 exclusive, but at the end Quantum Theory really doesn't share much with the Epic masterpiece. The game is just frustrating to play.

Tron: Evolution is a perfect tie-in, decent visuals but unfortunately the gameplay is quite broken. The platform parts are plagued by trial and error mechanics and cheesy camera, combat parts are quite good, but they lack variety and in the end they can be quite boring.

Call of Duty: Black Ops for Nintendo DS comes as a stand-alone title, for those who may possess the dual-screen handheld console only and sometimes need a bit of "hardcore" FPS action. The touch controls work good and the graphics are well done, but the strength of the game is the presence of several modes, both in single and in multiplayer.

Way better than its predecessor, you can still argue over its artistical direction and lack of polish. But 2 Worlds 2 is one of the best Fantasy Action Rpg you may experience on any platform.

Coming just a year after the fist episode, Super Scribblenauts finally manage to give an actually usable control system, but the boundaries on the puzzles strongly reduce the creativity and freedom to the players.

Coming straight from the '90, Hurricane successfully replicates the gameplay of the first episode, coming up with an arcade game that is not really common nowadays. Not for everyone, but if you are missing the old good coin-op days, this could be a nice choice.

While sharing the title with the new episode available for HD consoles, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit for the Wii looks like a completely different game: simpler in many ways, but packed with a good number of events and game modes.

GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo DS is a solid FPS with a nice but short story mode and an excellent online multiplayer mode for up to eight players. The controls pretty well, though they could have been more accurate with a better frame rate.
