Order of War is a polished real strategy game with a well optimized engine and some fun missions but It has no innovations, trying to be good both for rts fans and newbies without satisfying any of them.

Katamari Forever looks like too much like its old gen previous titles, but it's always very fun to play. New character, new planets and new challenges make Katamari a long lasting game, but we have to say that the lack of a multiplayer mode is such a shame.

Halo ODST won't be able to win over the ones who never loved the saga. But for its price, it is really a great chapter even trying to innovate under some respects. It may not be perfect, but fans will love it indeed.

A "hardcore game" exclusively on Wii? Spyborgs is a old-style beat'em-up with something less than Final Fight or Captain Commando, since you can't collect weapons, there are no holds and no robots to control. The graphics are nice and there are some interesting extras to keep you play once you finish the main mode. Played with a friend, it's a lot of fun.

Even if it's developed by the same studio behind Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Smash Up can't even remotely compare with the amount of content of the former: it's not a bad game, but it lacks that kind of appeal that made the Smash Bros. series so popular. Without it, Smash Up is just an average brawler.

Fallen Earth has a great atmosphere and a very deep character skills and crafting system. The flip side of the coin is the poor visual and a not so good as It was supposed to be quests system.

Just like every good puzzle should be, You Me and the Cubes is based on a simple, yet brilliant concept. There are some flaws, especially regarding the controls and the repetitive gameplay, but it's however a pleasure to play in short sessions.

Despite a modest visual, Majesty 2 - The Fantasy Kingdom grants hours of gameplay and a fun multiplayer.

WET isn't a bad action game after all. Ruby's acrobatics quite meet the frantic gameplay while the smart design of some locations allows players to give vent to their killing fancy. But WET is actually just a boring sequence of repetitive environments and situations. The game itself lasts just a few hours, no online mode is available and the content to unlock is plain and useless. We would like to talk about neat ideas but truth is that Ruby got WET just because she failed a jump and fell in the water.

A very nice package makes Red Faction: Guerrilla a good porting of a good console game.

The latest installment in the powerful Naruto franchise didn't leave us enthusiastic: the few game modes available, some problems with the combat system and a very simple and linear adventure make it a fan-only oriented game.

Bleach: The 3rd Phantom is a true surprise: it's a neat and enjoyable strategic RPG especially aimed at the fans of the series who will find all their favourite characters and villains in a single cartridge. Casual players will probably be annoyed by the lengthy cutscenes and slow battles, however it's rare to play such a well made niche-oriented game.

No longer a classic need for speed game, EA made a true shift, a u-turn, developing a great game, with stunning visuals, and a lot of cars and tracks. The nightly undercover challenges are gone, but the new mechanics, borrowed from games such Forza or GT work well in conveying a great driving feeling.

The PSP version of Need for Speed SHIFT remains anchored in the classic style of the series. The driving model is arcade, with very few concessions to realism. The number of cars is not very high, but the prizes system works good as usual: you can unlock upgrades and extras if you keep driving the same car.

It is a further footstep in the u-turn tried with the fourth episode, however it risk to get angry the players which are searching for an experience more channeled in the rules of the genre.

If you never bought NHL 09, this is indeed the best hockey simulation your money can buy. If you already bought last year's episode, you should consider if buying it or not, since differences between these two versions are just a few.

Heroes Over Europe is a nice air combat action game a la Ace Combat set mostly during the World War II, where you can control the Allies airplan across a variety of well known WWII battlefields in the skies over Europe.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 improves over the formula, but just a little bit from its predecessor. It's a good game for Marvel fans and players willing to play it with friends online or side by side on a sofa. As a single player experience, its gameplay may be a bit too samey in the long run.

Don't believe the hype: Scribblenauts is a fun and innovative idea that isn't perfectly supported by a great game. After the "wow factor" of the first hours of play, you'll quickly understand that this is not the revolution of gaming.

Bowser's Inside Story is an awesome addition to a lovely franchise which never disappointed. It is fresh and full of neat ideas and situations and Bowser is finally the main character again after 13 years, last time being Legend of Seven Stars on SNES. The perfect gameplay balance further improves a jewel of game design to the point that the average length of the adventure, about 20 hours without playing through additional contents, is the only letdown in this excellent installment of the Mario & Luigi series. Must buy, period.

This Wii-Ware puzzle game is a very simple and repetitive game, and his fast and accessible gameplay it's unable to deliver fun for more than half an hour.

The Beatles Rockband is the first rhythm game who'll have the chance to finally take over Karaokes from pubs and living rooms all over the world. No more impossible solos or songs that only Bruce Dickinson or Robert Plant can sing, but only a lot of fun for whomever will feel like grabbing a guitar or a microphone and sing songs almost everybody learned to love over the years. It's only about Beatles and it's a bit short, but if you get in the mood, it will last forever.

Even with all its flaws in terms of pace, exploration and level design, Muramasa remains a brilliant example of 2D action game. It's not just a nostalgic commemoration, but a good piece of classic gameplay brought up to date by a wonderfully crafted product.

Mini Ninjas may not succeed in being the best action adventure out there, but it's perfect if you are looking for a relaxing title, to be played with a smile on your face.

Extreme realism, enhanced graphics, additional vehicles and more, Birds of Prey is a great and complete simulator for veterans gamer, but also it’s accessible for the novices the genre, depend of the options you select.

The new chapter of the Dirt saga is a great game, the most complete off road experience with a lot car and tracks and a stunning visuals. The brand new replays are useful, maybe too much playing in the lowest level of difficulty. And above the game needs more rally events.

DiRT's debut on Wii will disappoint fans of the series and fans of driving games in general. The cars lack of detail, the tracks are poor and there are many frame rate issues. You can't even play with the Wii-mote, since it's very unresponsive, so you should use Nunchuck's analog stick or connect a Classic Controller.

Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days is the ultimate version of this game. It's not a simply porting from PlayStation 2 of Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, but a better and complete edition of this tactical role-playing game. With many improvements to the gameplay and added content such as stages and characters, newcomers are given an excellent place to start the series and Disgaea fans will be happy to play it. Highly recommended.
