We have the chance to take part in a journey that for style and atmosphere has not been experienced before; not in the videogame industry.

Axel & Pixel looks and plays like a graceful and fresh add to Xbox Live Arcade line up, and a good game for graphic adventures' fans. It's a bit short and easy, and its look may not appeal to everyone.

Playing Brutal Legend is like walking the stairway to the hell of Metal, a fierce battle through a world where glam headbangers and sad emos are your worst enemies. The game looks like a simple hack'n'slash but beyond the surface there's much more to do, including large battles in rts style.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves takes all the best from the first chapter and improve it even further. Technically speaking the game is amazing from every point of view, the gameplay mechanic is varied, involving and spectacular. The multiplayer is surprisengly solid and funny, and push the longevity far beyond Drake's Fortune. A must buy, not only for PS3 owner.

A Boy and His Blob takes a little for meshing and almost all the first "world" slips away without any particular emotion. The eighty playable stages make up for the lack of alternative modes to the main one, that's deliberately simple and immediate: the boy wakes up, calls his friend blob and runs every time for a new adventure.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games does not upset the formula that distinguished the previous episode of the series, with twenty minigames more or less enjoyable.

A really classical Jrpg with a good mix of strategy and action, recommended to all hardcore gamers. The main drawbacks are its average story and the too simple subquests.

Dreamkiller amuses for the time that lasts, about 8 hours. It is sold at budget price.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky does not add anything relevant to the series and it is not an evolution at all compared to Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Time. This installment is clearly designed to squeeze moneys out of the franchise, aiming to kids who will eventually love to enter the world of pokémons once again.

Cities XL is a fresh and innovative game. It is graphically beautiful and full of interesting features that set it to the top of the genre. Unfortunately there are some issues with the online.

Lucidity has stiff commands and some of the levels seems drawn at random, but it has a fantastic visual style.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a solid FPS, with nice graphics and an excellent online mode. It is a pity that not much has been done for the single player campaign, since the eleven available missions are too short and repetitive.

Aside from the creature editor -which is indeed a nice touch- Spore Hero is a pretty forgettable action game: it's kind of slow paced, the minigames aren't always very good and the combat system is really poor. It's a game for kids, and that's about it.

Star Wars brand's strength is really timeless, but it's not enough to save a game which is really too easy and too rough around the edges to be considered really worth of a videogamer's time and money.

Demon's Soul is a hard game that becomes an obsession after first few minutes of play: with a true feeling of danger and immersion in every moment, a innovative online game and a good level of challenge. One of the best PlayStation 3 games of the year.

This is a game that surely captures some of the hot spots which made the movie a cult one. Problems arise when you think about the not so satisfying combat system, the repetitive puzzles and the less than average graphics. If you are a real Saw fan you may actually consider a purchase.

NBA Live is back on track to try to get the crown of the best basketball game on the market. Still some things are missing to achieve this goal, but it's a highly enjoyable and fun basketball game.

Simply the best basketball simulation out there. Some gameplay mechanics could be better and players' faces would need a further improvement in the technical department. An highly recommended game and not just for basket fans.

Without bringing any true innovation to the RPG genre, after the Gothic's bug-experience Piranha Bytes gains its revenge with Risen, a game that every RPG lover will enjoy in every of its parts. Solidly based on the best elements of western RPGs, this game presents only some difficulties on the combat system that could discourage somebody, while for everyone else it's definitely a must-have.

Adam's Venture: The Search for the Lost Garden is clearly a budget title. It needs about two hours to be completed and delivers a very basic gameplay, with simple puzzles and poor exploration.

Gran Turismo on PSP is a disappointment even for the most hardcore fan of the Polyphony's franchise; the huge selection of cars and tracks can't compensate the lack of content and the crazy game design choices.

Beaterator is not a game but a real sound sequencer which allows us to create music using the hundreds of loops available or creating new ones with complete freedom. A must for all the music composers out there.

Extraction is not a simple Dead Space spin-off: it takes the core elements of the first game and successfully blends them into a brand new context, becoming a full fledged episode of the series. Not only it's a must buy for all the Dead Space fans out there, it's also one of the most mature and polished games available on Wii.

MySims Agents is the most traditional episode of the series, but also, probably, the best one. It's an interesting and amusing, albeit unoriginal, adventure which will delight younger players more than the older ones.

Motorstorm: Arctic Edge on PSP is just as we expected it: an arcade racer, very spectacular and durable, given the huge number of races and the presence of online multiplayer. The lack of next gen graphics is certainly hard to swallow for the series, but it was done everything possible to make a good job on PSP.

Though it's the remake of a game released over a year ago, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 confirms to be an excellent exponent of the action genre. If you already played the game on its Xbox 360 version, however, there's no reason to buy it once again.

Given the hardware limitations, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is quite a bit of a miracle. In spite of a few technical flaws and some repetitive quests this new installment in the franchise is a brilliant game, deep and well done, filled with charming backgrounds and characters. However, its major strength is also a weakness: the main plot will look meaningless to whoever isn't familiar with the series. But to fans of Kingdom Hearts this is an absolutely must-have.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Mobilized provides a sharp rise in the difficulty level, forcing the player to face the missions with caution and losing the hustle and involvement trademark of the series. The controls could have been more immediate, while the graphics are still fluid and compelling. The online multiplayer works well.
