Virtua Tennis 2009, as an arcade, is worse than Wii Sports Tennis; as a simulation, is worse than Grand Slam Tennis. Game mechanics were thought to work with a traditional pad, and they were just adapted later to Wiimote and MotionPlus; compared to Grand Slam Tennis, it seems from another era.

Grand Slam Tennis has some faults, but, with MotionPlus, it's the first game of a new generation: interaction is taken where it had never been. Muddled, but revolutionary.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 indeed is the ultimate console golf game, and EA succeeded in making better the few controversial elements from last year's edition. It's just a "More of the same" but it's perfect for those who've never tried a gold game before.

Tiger Woods 10 with the motion plus, control wise, is really a leap forward in the genre that every fan of this sport should try. But keep in mind that without the new peripheral, the game is just a nice revision of the previous year version, in pure EA-style.

Although not very deep and sometimes inclined to chaotic action, Swords and Soldiers is an original and ironical take on the RTS genre. A little short, but still one of the funniest strategic game ever released specifically on console.

Cellfactor is like a sum of FPS’ history, or, if you like, a big container including typical weapons, powers and bonus items, taken from this genre’s last decade of games. It may very well appeal to FPS’ fanatics, who are willing to look over Cellfactor’s, many, drawbacks.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a weird game. It is just a common action-game boosted by a pivotal feature about realistic demolitions which makes it more funny and intriguing than your average game despite its mediocre visuals and sounds. An excellent and deep multiplayer mode gives Guerrilla the edge. Recommended to whoever needs a game where everything - really everything - can be destroyed to bits.

The Sims 3 is a great game, a truly masterpiece, fresh, mature and innovative. With beautiful visuals, the game is full of new contents, the life of our avatars is not set only in one house but we can stroll about through an entire city. This a giant leap from the other games created by Will Wright.

14000 square kilometers are not enough to make a good game. Fuel tries to overlap its competitors by taking a sand box approach to the genre, but it fails by offering races that are neither challenging nor thrilling set in enormous and boring open spaces.

Damnation is a terrible action game: technical issues are atrocious, the main feature of the game is badly implemented, gunfights are frustrating and totally not enjoyable, the story loses its charm right after the intro movie and the multiplayer mode is bad designed and simply not played by anyone.

Quotation forthcoming.

If you liked Katamari Damacy, you'll definitely have some fun with The Munchables: if you didn't, you'll probably find this game dull, repetitive and far too easy.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack The Ripper is a good adventure with some nice investigative sections set in a suggestive London. Despite some technical problems, It still worth the price.

Restaurant Empire doesn't offer a main course very different from the first episode, but is certainly a good management game. The two campaigns are long and challenging but the game leaves a strange taste in your mouth, you definitely like it but actually you think that something special is missing.

No longer a sidekick Clank tries to be the hero of a game, unfortunately he fails in this psp port for the Playstation 2. A well devised gameplay is plagued by camera issues, poor detailed visuals and a limping frame rate.

UFC 2009 Undisputed is an realistic fighting game. Featuring the authentic Ultimate Fighting Championship atmosphere, including all the action, intensity and extensive roster of the best mixed martial arts fighters in the world.

All in all, Boom Blox Bash Party is an excellent sequel, a great multiplayer experience and the proof that it is actually possible to create a casual game capable of hooking up even the most harcore audience.

Grin's game doesn't succeed in bringing back to life all of the thrills and epic Cameron's saga has been able to deliver in the movies, and fans will find few elements of the ones which made Terminator such a big blockbuster. Single player campaign is short and samey, co op play is offline only. The only ones who'll really like Salvation, are Achievements/Trophies' hunters, who'll be able to unlock them all in about 5 hours of average gameplay.

Bionic Commando's come back is a tight turn toward the nowadays all popular shooters' gameplay. It's not a bad thing in itself, but the newcomers could be more pleased by this new adventure, than old school fans ,who will be probably missing some of the elements which made the first chapter an instant classic.

Quotation forthcoming.

Punch-Out!! is exactly how a remake should be made. But the core mechanics are probably more suited to the people who enjoyed the other punch-out!! games than to newcomers or casual gamers.

Battlestations: Pacific is not a game for everyone. Its unique gameplay, and its good mix between action and strategy may appeal to many players, as well as represent an obstacle to some others. It's highly recommended to those who love – difficult – Second World War games, but with a different and appealing approach.

Quotation forthcoming.

Sacred 2 is a near 1:1 port of the original pc release, with his flaws and his strong hack'n slash mechanic. Apart from a weak storyline and a limping frame rate the game is perfect for the players who want to spend a lot of hours looting corpses serching for the best armour and the biggest sword.

Patapon 2 maintains the mechanics and atmosphere of the first chapter, but it's further then its natural evolution. In comparison to the original title it has in fact brought on our PSP a series of options, additional formality, variety and complexity that decidedly bring it to a superior level in comparison to the simplest rhythm game with strategic elements that we knew.

No matter how many years have passed, Klonoa is still a great platformer, and here on Wii it boosts a nice visual upgrade: however, Bandai Namco did nothing to improve the length of the game, which can be easily completed in five hours or so.

Plants vs. Zombies is an action-strategy game from PopCap. The gameplay, based on the classic tower defense mechanics, is very easy to play but deep and addictive. It is the perfect game to play windowed during a boring meeting that will keep you tied to your pc for a long time.

Not as good as Fright of the Bumblebees, Last Resort is step back from the first game. The big problems of this second episode are a weak storyline, with poor jokes that don't make you laugh, and a few rooms and locations to explore.
