Although way better than the previous chapter, Blue Defense: Second Wave! is certainly less ambitious than Red Conquest. It must be said though that even if the game lacks any real additional mode, plot or multiplayer experience, the new units and the deeper control system will satisfy any hardcore gamer that thought the first Blue Defense was too easy.

Blokus is a clever and interesting board game, that will appeal both to casual and skilled audience; besides the repetitiveness, the only problem is that it's a bit too pricey.

More than just a game, BIT.TRIP BEAT is an enjoyable experience that combines sounds and images, encouraging the players to improve their performance through a series of trials. The four stages available in the basic version are well balanced, nice to see and full of sounds and colors.

Sword & Poker 2 is once again a perfect mix between rpg and poker, it delivers also a lot of fun regardless you have played the first chapter or not.

With Monster Mayhem a new kind of action game is born: the Tower Offense. So no passive defense, no war machines set in a battle camp, no position strategy; only violence, weapons and armament management, but of course with smile. Blood and comicality are wisely mixed in this game and if you are bored about the classic "tower defense" games, this is what you are looking for.

It's true, there are too many "ultra arcade games" on the App Store right now, and most of them become quickly boring and repetitive. But Monster Dash is slightly different: though the game keeps the classic "survival" structure, it gives you a health bar, four different stages and a lot of weapons to blast the enemies. If you like the genre, don't miss it!

1112 Episode 02 is simply unforgivable. Louis Everett has to interact with unappealing characters, trying to clarify a plot that gropes in the dark from the very beginning to the end.

Meridian has certainly done a good joob in creating a not-so-elaborate but effective game, with charming graphics and strong gameplay mechanics. Armageddon provides a lot of extra contents - from artworks to alternative game modes - and the OpenFeint support expands the formula with social features like leaderboards and achievements. Unfortunately, the 70 too-much-similar levels weigh against the final evaluation, while the high difficulty could demoralize some players.

Aqua Moto Racing 2 is a sequel with a lot of improvements; it's an arcade racing game of course, but the water's movement can give to the acquascoters some kind of realistic reactions; it's not perfect, but it's enjoyable, so if you like water races, you will love it.

AirAttack is a great arcade vertical shooter, with impressive graphics and original gameplay; to become perfect, it should have some more missions.

Nail'd is a decent off road game, with beautiful visuals and stunning track design, but it is not as rewarding and challenging as an arcade game should be. The greatest flaws of the package are that the game is too easy for a long time and the handling is just a walk in the park, causing a near boredom experience.

Raskulls is a bit of everything, from a platform to a racing game, quoting a lot of classic games with a fresh and cool appeal. It has a good multiplayer too.

Ilomilo is possibly the cutest puzzle game available on Xbox 360. It's even a well crafted and compelling game and one you shouldn't really miss if you don't get scared by games which may get tricky for your brains.

This new DLC does not succeed in becoming a must have for every gamer out there and case west ends up being reccomended just to Dead Rising hardcore fans.

Zeit 2 is a truly hardcore gamer shooter, which may get really frustrating on your nerves. If you are looking for an extreme experience this may be what you are looking for, otherwise you may want to steer away from it.

Dead Money has clearly been made for New Vegas veterans, it offers great longevity and ask you to forgive its trial and error structure. If you are a veteran and you like to try and fail, you should give this DLC a try.

You may love or hate Deadly Premonition and its pure heart hidden beneath errors, strange structure and PlayStation 2 graphics. Don't get fooled by the outside, there are plenty of good things hidden beneath this rough surface.

With its evolutions in graphics and level design, Dead Space 2 represents a "more of the same" in its best expression. Scary, challenging and entertaining, the Visceral's game confirms itself as the new paradigm of the survival horror genre.

Shadow Guardian is a nice third-person action adventure which does almost everything right: however, the sheer lack of personality makes it much less enjoyable than it could've been.

Gameloft has boosted the FPS genre on mobile devices... again. N.o.v.a. 2 is not only the most important game in its Winter lineup, but it's also the best first person shooter on iPhone and iPod Touch, thanks to an impressive multiplayer mode and a single-player campaign that combines a great control scheme with an extremely rare graphics. Of course, the game lacks of originality, while the plot is not so catchy. But it's an insignificant flaw, mostly if compared to the overall quality of the title.

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is an excellent JRPG. Surprisingly, gameplay is extremely close to previous installments in the franchise and it's quite baffling Camelot did not dare to do more with this third episode. Despite this flaw in originality, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is a well done and refined lengthy adventure but it does not win over Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Sky as the DS game of the year.

Vikings can fly! is just a funny way to spend some time, but it's really well done: a mix of strategy and madness, that can appeal to anyone.

Hero Project's gameplay is based on the same elements that made MMORPGs so popular: a customizable character that strengthens from gaining experience. The point is you have to complete a large number of mission in order to achieve that goal, most of which require literally hours of waiting but can be instantaneously completed by buying some (expensive) credits.

The 7th Guest is seventeen years old and it shows its age in a bad way. The problem is not only in its ancient technical aspect but in the puzzles too. These are just a few, nearly 20, and are extremely difficult to understand.

There are not many reasons to complain about Adrenaline, because it's certainly the best game in the Asphalt series. Asphalt 6 takes advantage of the iPhone hardware to generate impressive graphics with more solid framerate. With names like Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Ducati and BMW, the game can offer some of the most outstanding and various car licences on the App Store, while the single player mode can make player busy for several hours. Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode (online and local, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) isn't so good, offering only one type of challenge with just 6 players.

With its clever level design and smoothly implemented physics and controls, Hydroventure is a relaxing and charming, though very challenging experience and one of the best game currently available on WiiWare.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 could be an interesting mobile episode while waiting for the new Next Gen version; however, the bad control system makes this experience like a nightmare.

While TRON: Evolution came as a nice tie-in both on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Wii version is very different. Battle Grids comes as a simple, mediocre party game indeed, with some of the worst controls we've ever experienced on the Nintendo console.
