Broken Destiny will not disappoint fans of the franchise but the lack of worthwhile game modes is a decent issue. Plotwise Broken Destiny is forgettable at best and there is no reason for a Soul Calibur IV owner to pick this installment other than playing it when traveling. The game is visually striking and faithful to the home console version, all in all it is recommended to whoever wants a great portable fighting game or never played Soul Calibur before.

Despite the lack of innovation, Guitar Hero 5 delivers plenty of game modes, an almost perfect multiplayer (both local and online) and the same old gameplay we all know and love. The tracklist is huge, and we can play the songs at different levels, with different instruments. Those who have already spent hundreds of hours with the series might find this new episode unattractive, but it's worth a try anyway.

Champions Online has a fast paced and fun gameplay but lacks in contents, showing the need of a more complex end-game.

Despite a unique setting and a compelling story, Cursed Mountain fails to deliver some good survival horror action. The combat system is pretty good and there are some nice boss battles, but the game is slow, easy and short, with very poor locations, lots of invisible barriers and dull puzzles.

It would be too easy, if not unfair, to consider this game as just the tie in you don't expect. Batman AA is one of the best action adventure you can play in this generation of hardware, mixing in an almost impeccable way the best elements taken from this genre's masterpieces.

This is definitely one of the best games on the PSP. A not to be missed game for all Final Fantasy fans. A great fighting game for all.

Section 8 is a fairly traditional FPS, featuring a couple of interesting points (the launch phase and device management). The story mode is too short, only eight missions, while the online multiplayer mode seems to be fun, with forty players and eighteen maps. Definitely not the best FPS around.

Three is the magic number: The incredible world of Metroid returns in a single disk with 16:9 and other interesting extra, but the package is a little thin for collectors.

After one year, Layton is still a great experience: puzzles are challenging as they were supposed to be and the story is very well written, with charming characters and locations. One of the best "more of the same" of the year.

Wolfenstein offers tons of enemies, weapons, places and fun, but is too linear and has some graphic issues that compromise the final result.

Spectrobes: Origins is an interesting evolution of the franchise, even if still aimed to a teen audience it happens to stand out as a solid and entertaining RPG recommended especially to fans of the genre. The game is visually impressive but plagued by minor faults, it does not last a lot but it offers some optional content and lots of creatures to unlock and collect.

Wheelspin is a big disappointment. We were expecting much more from a game designer like Archer MacLean and a publisher like Bethesda, no doubt about it: though the 60 fps frame rate, the graphics are ugly, with awful colors, and the controls are all but responsive.

In our opinion Madden NFL 10 is possibly the best ever American football game ever to grace a console, thanks to the work the team is making every year to improve on the formula. Improvements are subtle, but constant with each release.

Flipnote Studio is a fun and simple tool to create short animations and share them with friends and people on the web. Everything works fine, and being a free download makes it a must have for every DSi owner out there.

While not shining particularly for level design solutions, NyxQuest stands as an example of balanced mix between platform and puzzle game, all plunged in a beautiful, classical greek background. At the present time, one of the best offering on WiiWare.

A package all of Gears of War 2 fans will be surely please to download and play. A new single player campaign chapter, 7 new maps and a new take on the classical gameplay make up for an experience surely worth of the price.

A lot of fans were probably waiting for The King of Fighters XII with open arms, but lag during the online matches, the small number of available fighters and stages ruined what could have been a really nice and welcome addition to PS3 and Xbox 360's libraries.

Shatter is without a doubt the best reinterpretation of the Breakout formula; an impressive arcade that unfortunately ends too soon, but overall is still one of the best exclusive PSN games of the entire catalogue.

Little King's Story reaches a perfect balance between friendliness and depth in terms of gameplay: it's certainly one of the best games available on Wii, and even manages to surpass a masterpiece such as Pikmin in some ways.

A great return with an HD graphic and the same, fantastic feeling ever. The new interface works fine and the narrative inventions are still a lot of fun, alfter 19 years.

The game is just the best cycling game on the market, with a deep, well designed gameplay and months of fun. The flip side are the few innovations in comparison to the past year and some bugs that plague the graphic engine.

Battlefield 1943 is a welcome back to the saga's roots. A fast, fun and effective online game, well above the average product you can buy over Xbox Live or PlayStation Network. Hours of gameplay await the ones willing to spend the 15€ needed to buy this game.

Reality is very expensive in this real warfare simulator from Bohemia Interactive. The game is very tough and difficult to manage but the campaign is very well devised, full of twists and turns, but its impossible not to mention the huge amounts of glitches and bugs here and there.

Not as good has the first two masterpieces, the game created by Telltale is definitely challenging and funny, very respectful of the legacy of Guybrush and his friends. The new 3D visuals are good and punchlines, jokes and puzzles are well devised and let you enter smoothly in the world of LeChuck.

Asphalt 4: Elite Racing is a nice and competent arcade racing game that fails to impress due to the technical limitations of the DS and to some minor but annoying gameplay problems.

Trine is the game you didn't expect. Funny, fast and simple to play. It has several problems, in particular with the controls, but it's something original that we suggest to all players. More than anything else, it is the perfect game to play this summer with some friends.

Time Gentlemen, Please! has some memorable dialogues, a dark humor and some nice puzzles. For about 4 euros It's a crime not to buy It.

Street Fighter IV is the beat'em'up we've been anticipating for ages. It's the perfect synthesis of innovation and classicism, of deep mechanics and easy play. Fun and challenging, the game has stunning visuals, but to enjoy this masterpiece an arcade stick is absolutely recommended.
