A nice 2D adventure title, where stylistic impact and excellent character design overcome the minor flaws.

Supreme Commander 2 is the result of how, through prudent choices it's possible to convert a title suited almost exclusively to a niche of fans of the genre into a game for everyone. With the recent release of strategic games such as Napoleon: Total War and the imminent arrival of Starcraft II and Command & Conquer 4, all the fans of strategy games have something to have fun with and we are confident that the new creation from Chris Taylor can succeed in carve out its space, thanks to this new dynamic and intuitive formula .

Even without the magic touch of Echochrome, Echoshift still delivers a nice puzzle experience, surely one of the best available for Playstation Portable. It would have been even better with a level editor for a longer lasting appeal.

Everyone who calls himself a videogamer should try the Heavy Rain experience. Such a fresh and innovative point of view on home entertainment could give birth to an entire new genre. Technically superb, provided with a good story and an interesting control system, Quantic Dream's new title is really a twist in the videogaming culture. Still, some minor issues and a limited interactivity do not allow to praise it with full marks.

Napoleon: Total War it's really similar to its predecessor Empire, for better of for worse. Built on a much shorter temporal span, it changes the perspective on the management section of the game while many little improvements on almost every aspects make this the best chapter in the series but the lack of innovation inevitably lowers overall evaluation. Suggested to all strategy lovers unreservedly.

The complete lack of innovation will kill this brand. Consider buying only if you can't live without your daily metal slug fix.

It's Mario Kart made SEGA style. Funny and well designed, it delivers the fun you expect from it. Sadly the biggest flaw is frame rate, and that's a big mistake for a game based on speed. Also, a general lack of new ideas sets it in a medium range.

Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing is a good racing game, maybe too similar to its rival Mario Kart but still fun to play. Driving with Ryo Hazuki and his fork lift it's an amazing experience.

While Gothic sails away to other developers, Piranha Bytes turns the tide with this return to the origins of true RPG. Deep, polished, compelling, Risen is an RPG for RPG true lovers. Some small glitches and a general lack of accessibility make it step down a little bit on the score, but it's still THE game to have if you love RPGs.

One of the best online experiences so far on the PSP is watered down by a poor and very short story mode, lack of new features and the absence of a convincing story.

Aliens vs Predator it's a fun to play FPS. The singleplayer is quite enjoyable if played with one of the creatures, but unfortunately playing as marine doesn't scare as it once did. Aesthetically the games looks quite old on consoles, but it sounds exactly as the movies. After finishing the game, you'll find a complete and quite well made multiplayer mode, entertaining thanks to the good calibration of the three races.

10 years later, Rebellion brings back the Alien vs Predator saga. After the first gameplay hours where the atmosphere and sounds looks really good the tension vanish due to a lack of real difficulties. Endless bullet and checkpoint saving system makes the game too easy, removing from the player all the fear caused by an empty gun and horde of hungry aliens walking around you...If you are an Alien vs Predator's fan you'll still love this game but if you are not it's a normal fps with lot of problems and with no innovation.

An interesting plot full of twists and well played, colorful characters make this game one of the best chapters of the saga, and not one you want to miss.

A good game partially ruined by the complex control system. If you can, buy the PC version.

Clumsy controls, a boring story full of cliches, continuous loading times make Ragnarok DS sink in the ocean of quality JRPGs available for Nintendo DS.

Bioshock 2 is a worthy heir of the first chapter, from the storytelling to the gameplay. Hence it's still a great FPS-adventure title, but the magic and genius of its predecessor is somehow lost.

Dante's Inferno is not an innovator of the action genre, but a game that can entertain until the end credits. The gameplay is solid and the great design is an added value, able alone to raise the level of the production. Ultimately a title not brilliant as Bayonetta, but perfect to be played waiting for the upcoming king Kratos.

Star Ocean is a truly JRPG and a must-buy for all Japanese gamers addicted. Great characters, a lot of side-quests and a crafting system really interesting make this game a winning choice for all jprg's fan.

GSC Game World finally delivers the sequel of one of the most innovative FPS of the decade. Finally bug-free, the game still suffers from a very slow pace that will discourage players accustomed to action-FPS, and doesn't add anything notable to the old formula. A shame, since the gameplay mechanics do work, and the story gets interesting after a while. If you're a fan of the original STALKER, grab it and have some more fun in the Zone. If you're not, you'd better stick with the first chapter.

Star Trek Online is a good game. The battles between the ships can make the joy of the fans, but also to other players might like. The part about the planets , however, will completely disappoint both for the behavior of our comrades who are not always up to their task. Recommended only to fans of the franchise, and those who are willing to forgive these flaws.

The long delay in reaching EU territories should have been spent by Level-5 to smooth the many edges of their production. Unfortunately this has not happened and the result is a pleasant JRPG, but far from the quality that Japanese developers have us accustomed to.

Blood Bowl is the classic example of a game made and packaged for the fans. Anyone who knows this digression sports Warhammer in its primary form, you will learn in this release without major gaming concerns, the only obstacle to see a largely untapped segment in online PC version is much more complete through the online leagues. If you do not know of the existence of the Blood Bowl until this review, before any purchase is absolutely recommended a field trial, given that most players could remain seared by a strategy so complex and could find the way in Real time too superficial and linked to that to turns.

Mass Effect 2 is a must buy. Deep RPG mechanics and good shooting fill an exciting universe, full of great characters, marvelous worlds and dangers. A great graphics and an incredible dubbing make this second chapter one of the greatest experience to date.

A great sequel, making up for the biggest flaws of its predecessor. Still, the in-game camera is a nightmare and platforming nearly broken. If you loved the first one, don't miss this over-the-top trip to insanity.

Simply the best beat'em'up you can get on your Wii. Suitable both for the pros and for the newbies due to its depth,there's everything we expected: great characters, good graphics, perfect controls. A must have for every fan.

An ambitious project, MAG delivers fun battles only if played with very motivated players. Its biggest flaw lies deep within its own nature, that big 256 number on the cover. If you think you can find the right group of friends to join, and you can close an eye on the technical side of things, consider it your new multiplayer choice.

The expectations of those who were hoping for a videogame, Dark Void, which would finally be able to bring a breath of fresh air into the third-person action genre, are sadly disappointed, at least in part, from this title. Certainly the air-combat component has been implemented in a very good way, but it's unfortunately not sufficiently good enough, in a game were you must alternate flying phases with boring sections on foot. The game's value is also clouded by an only discrete technical compartment, lifted in part by a great soundtrack. A pity, because there was a huge potential in the concept idea of Dark Void.

Despite the new (and better) A.I., a good level design and customization possibilities, Army of Two: The 40th Day falls short on some of its expectations. The moral system isn't well implemented, controls feel often clumsy and graphics are not up to the standard. It's still a game to consider if you like action games and cooperative, but not a must have. It's a shame, especially considering the fact that some more care for details could've made it a very good game.

Despite decent graphics and some funny game modes, Vancouver 2010 suffers from the complete lack of a career mode, which makes it feel like a mere succession of events, without any progression to be had. Fans of this kind of production will find some good gameplay elements, while players used to bigger and better game dedicated to the single sports should stick to those.

It's hard to play Sands of Destruction where it could have been enjoyable and easy: hard for the tremendous amount of random encounters and, most of all, for the insanely unbalanced battle system, base on luck more than ability.

After the first enjoyable DLC, Gearbox tries a new way to entertain the growing public of its interesting shooter. The horde idea is old enough, but it still works and provides a compelling experience, enhanced by some nice small ideas, like random rules. Sadly there's no real reward, and reward is everything Borderland's about; although sometimes fun to play, this neverending massacre betrays the spirit of the original game.

Darksiders is a great start for this 2010. A long story, a complex and engaging gameplay and a beautiful character design make this games a big debut for Vigil Games. It lacks of originality, but it's recommended to everyone.

A superb design, compelling gameplay (easy to learn but hard to master), and a good storytelling make Kamiya's return much appreciated. Rest in peace Dante, we all fell in love with a (much more) beautiful witch.

Belgian developers have managed to pull out of the hat an excellent role-playing game. Less extreme than Risen and less classic than Dragon Age, Divinity II - Ego Draconis is able to give an interpretation not revolutionary, but definitely cool to the genre, providing many hours of fun to fans and proposing an adventure accessible to novices. The excellent soundtrack added to the peculiar characterization of the various characters, plunges you into the world of Rivellon making very difficult to go back to the real.

With its hybrid gameplay Wings of Prey manages to bring this particular genre to a larger audience. You also find good graphics and an engine capable of running even on dated machines. A game suggested to all simulation lovers but also to gamers who want to approach this genre for the first time.

Battle Fantasia is indeed an original product, different from other titles of the same genre. A gameplay too easy and boring completely spoils the fun, placing this title way below Arc System Works standards.

We are against the time, evil souls and even the atmosphere can't help us. The Void is an hardcore game, not suitable for everyone cause to the high level of challenge and the continuous pressure that the game put on you.Dedicated to those ones seeking for a new videogame's genre.

The Saboteur delivers some good fun with the atmosphere of its beautiful setting. On the other hand, gameplay could disappoint demanding players, used to higher quality productions. If you like free roaming and Paris, you should at least give it a try.

As Tom Hullet said, this Silent Hill is a "fresh start" for the main saga. A new brilliant idea brings the player in a frozen world populated by ugly monsters without any weapons for self-defense. Unluckily, the exploration and escaping phases are completely separated from each other, knowing this the core experience looses its charm.

The great offroad experience feels even better on PC, where stunning graphics will keep your eyes as busy as your wheels.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is a good Zelda game. Its fault can be found in the similar gameplay structure of its predecessor. Still, the experience is something unique and teaming up with princess Zelda it's extremely fun.

Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre is fun and replayable. Overall quality is good, but it lacks in innovations and online functions. A good game, but not perfect. Any Wii owner should consider this game: it could be a surprise or a delusion at the same time.

Pretty funny...for the first hour or so. Then it keeps repeating itself, until you wish you could go back to the good old Carmageddon days. Just for zombie maniacs.

Call of Duty Classic is recommended to all who love the series and they want to know its roots. Good gameplay mechanics and an engaging story make this game still enjoyable in 2009.

Only a budget price could've saved this complete disaster. Rogue Warrior is a joke, bad tasty and expensive. Leave it on the shelves, unless Dick Marcinko is your guru.

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game is a title strictly bound to the movie. It will hardly charm for its gameplay, but those who will love the movie and its world will probably find something good in it.

Dynamic terrain modification and the Reflex control system succeed in delivering something new to the offroad genre. On the other hand, some minor bugs and inaccuracies in physics and collisions make the experience sometimes frustrating. Add not-so-good graphics, invasive soundtrack and a clumsy customization menu and what you get is an unpolished product, suitable just for big fans of the saga and the offroad genre.

Resident Evil 0 has some big issues related to its old style gameplay, an awkward control system and no extras for this Wii version. It's still a good-looking game on the Wii, but after eight long years fan would’ve definitely deserved some more.

Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle is a mediocre graphic adventure with some good humoristic cut scenes. This Wii version doesn't offer nothing more than the PC version, except for the not-well implemented control system.

A wonderful port that bestows PSP owners of one of the best beat'em ups ever, surely the best portable one. Great controls, fast fights, amazing visuals. This is Tekken 6 for Playstation Portable.

Good enemies variety and the new dark setting deliver an average amount of fun for those who love the original game. It won't last long, but it's still a fair deal.

This return of Serious Sam has been a pleasant trip back in time. The gameplay remains unchanged, so excellent in its simplicity and immediacy in the high level of challenge proposed. The graphic restyling seems very successful and gives hope as what we could expect with the arrival of the third chapter Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter it's identical to the original one, with better graphics, nothing more and nothing less.

A nice blend of strategy and RPG, this King Arthur delivers good fun. It won't match the Total War absolute RTS perfectionism, neither the depth of real RPG, but it's still an original and entertaining title.

Not for the casual gamers. Strategy hardcore fans will love the hard gameplay and the lengthy campaign, especially when sold at a bargain price.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'S TAG FORCE 4 is a game that you love or hate. Quibble about the validity of its gameplay does not seem particularly constructive because, as repeatedly reported in the review is to be understood as a niche title, inappropriate, hit and run as a hobby, but able to absorb more patients and more stubborn. Instead, what we wish to emphasize is that now the series needs a good modernize both the graphical and sound is primarily through a component that involves adventure and fun outside of duels and challenges. True fans will not be disappointed, for all the others should look elsewhere.

Assassin's Creed II delivers a great story driven experience. Solving most of the problems of its predecessor, this accomplished sequel offers compelling action, beautiful environments and a great plethora of well written characters. A must have for every action-adventure fan with a taste for history, and one of the best games of this fall.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is one of the best rail shooter to play on Wii. The replay value is very high because the game offers more than just the typical on-rails shooter style of gameplay and there are many extra like online leaderboards, higher difficulty modes, and collectibles. The co-op is very fun to play for hours and the graphic is great.

Five new campaigns, two multiplayer modes and many new features are big deal for everyone who loved the first Left 4 Dead. It's still the best cooperative experience you can find out there, so be a good boy and get yourself into some good ol' zombie creaming. On the other hand, whoever didn't get involved with the first one won't have any reason to get this sequel.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is a small step back for a series that has so far always enjoyed those who want a light and fun game.

Sadly, Planet 51 is a classic bad tie in; despite its young target, the title misses the point, and even if you loved the movie you won't be compelled by the boring gameplay.

The only merit of Just Dance is the response of a discrete track list qualitatively, but quantitatively too narrow. The chronic lack of extras and unlockable songs make Just Dance a game which the true dancers out there would do well to forget, to throw themselves on rhythm games made better and far more fulfilling.

Assassin's Creed II: Discovery is a step forward compared to his predecessor, but it doesn't feel like it's been developed with the NDS in mind, because of the lack of any touch screen interactions. The gameplay is too linear and sometimes repetitive. All in all, you might consider it only if you're a big fan of the brand, but there's no other reason to get excited.

The classic more of the same. You won't find any new feature, combo or new gameplay idea here. Just for the die hard fans.

LittleBigPlanet is one of the most funny games of the generation, one of the best Platformers on PSP.

Two great classics remastered in Hd. Enjoy the fury of Kratos, in the game every Ps3 owner must buy this christmas.

Great location, good gameplay and very interesting story. Assassin's Creed Bloodlines achieves the goal of reproducing console's style into the PSP. Good visuals, enhanced combat system and new money-system could be what the entire saga needed in order to evolve. Bad A.I. influences some fighting sessions, and the too repetitive mission can slow down the pace. Every PSP owner should at least try this fairly good title.

F1 2009 it's a good arcade-racing game. There is the license of FIA, but we haven't found a lot of boundary elements you can find on television. However the game is discrete.

In conclusion, we can only invite you to play New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We will move into the new magic game signed by Nintendo. Those who feared a sacrifice of quality for multiplayer options will find their fears unfounded. The title is probably the best episode in series, a great product for multiplayer and a milestone in the Wii catalog.

Buzz! Quiz World is one of the best title for a game with family or friends, thanks to the comfortable controller and the new question. Recommended for evenings with friends!

Modern Warfare 2 carries the good tradition of its predecessor. The campaign is nonetheless too short, and it feels too inspired to the previous one; on the other side, the multiplayer carries a lot of improvements, and Spec Ops is a well crafted coop mode. If you consider buying for online fun, this is the game that will steal your life for the months to come. If you're up to an unforgettable single player experience you might consider other more lengthy and original titles.

An old-fashioned game, maybe too old. Nothing wrong here, but neither anything new or particularly exciting, especially if compared to the rest of DS RPG.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is a great soccer game. The gameplay overall is still pretty much the same, but a lot more has been added. The engine in the gameplay is excellent, and feels a more smooth gameplay. The free kick has improved and the IA of your players is better than last year's edition. Very fun and fantastic gameplay.

The arrival of Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex on the Wii console gives users the opportunity to play what is probably the most beautiful chapters of the entire saga. The single player campaign brings into our living rooms really memorable moments stuck to perfection in an epic story and exciting. Once ended, anyone with a console connected to the web will enjoy a better multiplayer ever developed. The only flaw worth mentioning can be found in a control system that requires a learning period and can not satisfy all fans of FPS classics.

A mere shadow of what a scrolling beat'em up should be. The TMNT logo isn't enough to justify such a poor game, who will particularly let down the ones who really loved the comics and the animated series dedicated to the four Ninja Turtles.

Phantasy Star is too much a larger than life trademark since the 8 bit era to accept a mediocre game like this, with a silly A.I., no depth, no story and problematic controls. Only the huge fans of level grinding and loot collecting will have fun with it.

Ubisoft plays it safe by offering only small changes in sight to the winning formula last year. The chronic lack of online mode is still there. The series still has much potential that still hasn't developed yet.
