It still isn't quite sure if it's arcade or simulation, but at least the players aren't racing through the field like in last year's edition.

This year's edition is a worthy addition, although not considerably different from previous iterations but still manages to offer a polished experience that fans won't miss.

Red Alert 3 is an interesting RTS. However, besides the cooperative mode it doesn't add anything even remotely new. It's still solid, the production values are high, but the missions could use more creativity.

It captures the setting perfectly, going straight to the point. This also makes the experience somewhat short and repetitive, but it manages to be exhilarating at times.

With Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Konami uses the points they believe having in advantage over their adversaries, and offers players a capable but flawed game.

PAIN is extremely funny. It’s short, and limited, but offers uncompromised entertainment for hours on end.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is ambiguous, offering the best and the worst elements of the series. The camera is awful and there are quite a few bugs. It lacks polish, but still manages to be a good Lara Croft adventure…. And she's as beautiful and agile as ever.

Ambitious and imaginative, it's a guilty pleasure. Those who are able to deal with its issues – that aren't easy to ignore – may end up living a very interesting adventure.

Most likely won’t appeal to owners of other iterations, but is an almost compulsory title for high score addicted players.

Sonic Rivals 2 is as much fun as it is frustrating. It is, however, a good evolution on the previous title, fondly remembering us of the glorious past of the series.

Far Cry has some excellent ideas and high production values, but some design choices and technical problems drag it down.

Turok’s reinvention comes out with a positive balance. Those who are able to overlook the clichéd setting and the B movie side of things will enjoy an interesting and capable FPS, far from ground-breaking, but with some good moments.

Guitar Hero is welcome on the PC, and will certainly delight those who were jealous of their rockstar console friends – or at least those who are able to run the game without issues.

If you’re looking for an uncompromised shooter, to jump straight into the action old-school style, then The Club is something to try.

Universe at War: Earth Assault is a good RTS, but clearly needed more production time to correct some glaring bugs, that even the recent patches couldn't completely eradicate.

Most likely won’t appeal to owners of other iterations, but is an almost compulsory title for high score addicted players.

Burst Limit is a good fighting game for fans, and fun overall. However, those familiar with previous games will frown at some limitations.

NHL 2K8 is a solid ice hockey, wholly competent in most departments.

Trouble in Paradise manages to improve the previous game and not much else, and is intended to the true piñata fans.

Burst Limit is a good fighting game for fans, and fun overall. However, those familiar with previous games will frown at some limitations.

The solo mode mechanics are more fun than the remainder, but it's still entertaining with friends.

PixelJunk Eden has character and some good ideas, although they clash with some frustrating design choices, lessening its relaxing mood.

Kane's Wrath is an interesting expansion. The campaign isn't exactly the most tempting dish, but we also have new units, game modes and maps.

Races are frantic and the controls are a pleasure, and the only regret is that there isn't much in the way of track diversity.

The DS proves that it can handle speed and detail, and even though the rivals cheat, this is a game that turns out to be a winner.

The focus on playability clashes with the visual limitations, but for those who didn't get the previous edition, this one comes out recommended.

Traveller's Tales has done a good job with the Lego license, and this Indiana Jones is no exception.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is faithful in almost every aspect to the formula of success that Harmonix came up with, and the additions are few and meaningless.
