    A decent and fun motocross game, that becomes addictive but also falls short in content, as it doesn't have any local or online multiplayer mode. Despite all of this, it is a decent game that motocycling lovers should give a chance.

    This is the most complete, large, fun and ambitious Trackmania game ever made. It improves upon the formula that has make the game succeed, and again challenges us to beat our best times and also our rivals'. And at a very attractive price.

    A charming game, full of humor, with pleasant visuals, both technical and artisticly. It is a bold proposal that brings new ideas, but falls midway because of its repetitive mechanics.

    Rage delivers as an action game, with outstanding graphics and gameplay that is sometimes tactic, sometimes savage and always intense. Some players may expect a sandbox, but the game is really a very classic action shooter.

    A game that leaves mixed sensations. It is fun and quite original, and is challenging for some times. But after the first hours it gets too repetitive, and it lacks a multiplayer mode or even online rankings. It is enjoyable and fun, and also well made, but the idea becomes limited quickly.

    If we achieve to get used to the confusing controls, it is an enjoyable videogame, withouth much complications, nor a deep and engaging story, but quite entertaining. Graphics are beautiful and animations resemble those of the classics.

    FIFA 12 enhances the exceptional gameplay of the last years and makes a bold change in defense, which forces players to pass through a process of adaptation (although they can turn on the "classic" defense), but shines like the previous games.

    Of the six games, only two are original and made for Nintendo 3DS, and are indeed the ones that dissapoint. The rest of games are as fun as ever, but there are much more ways to obtain them. We also miss multiplayer modes.

    A polished evolution of what we saw last year, as if PES 2011 was midway to the goal PES 2012 has achieved. It changes some of the controls, and greatly enhances AI, although it still has its flaws, especially with the goalkeepers. But, above all, PES 2012 is a really engaging and fun football game, with much more variety and charm than previous entries.

    The Gunstringer is easily one of the best games for Kinect. It is funny, fresh and charming, and its controls are very fun. One of the few "real" games for Kinect, that has in its short duration its only flaw.

    A perfect opportunity to enjoy one of the best classic shoot'em ups. A game with a gameplay that hasn't aged, a great soundtrack and an extreme level of difficulty that results very rare today. Maybe its difficulty will become a hurdle for some gamers, but it is a must-have for those who consider themselves proud fans of the genre.

    It is the same great game we enjoyed six years ago, but visually upgraded. Its gameplay hasn't aged, and its levels are still varied and thrilling. We only miss a retail edition including this game and Code Veronica HD, just like in Japan, as the digital download can be considered pricey by many players.

    A game with mixed results. It is a very original idea that we've seen few times in console, with almost infinite possibilities, but the adaptation lacks something. As a puzzle game it is difficult and has enough variety, but the absence of clues or help makes it frustrating sometimes.

    This new edition takes important steps forward. The tires are more important and the different types are more noticiable when driving, and the addition of DRS and more strategy options changes the way to race. It has also added much needed features like the safety car or the possibility to manage the whole Grand Prix event, from the free training durint Friday to the race on Sunday. It still has plenty of room for improvement and it is not the perfect simulator yet, but Formula 1 fans will be pleased again by this product.

    It is the most complete entry in the series, and its campaign is probably the best. It makes some slight changes in the combat mechanics, making them more dynamic, and has great new weapons. The three online modes are greatly addictive, and the revamped Horde mode and Beast modes are especially remarkable. It won't convince those who didn't enjoy the two previous games, but will please those who did.

    A game with mixed results. It uses Kinect like never before, it is well executed and it marks the way for other games to follow, as it is one of the few "traditional" games adapted for Kinect-only gameplay. But it also has it flaws, and sometimes it is difficult to go back, turn or pick up weapons, and this harms the enjoyment of the game.

    A different HD update. The rest of them take games that were great at their time, but now have been surpassed by their sequels or new fanchises. But Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are still masterpieces by today standards, as are such special games that would stand among the best of the year if made from scratch and released today. A must-have for all who consider themselves passionate about videogames.

    Spy Mouse is, above all, a fast and direct game that is as good as we come to expect from Firemint. It is enjoyable, and its imaginative levels pushes us to keep playing to the end. Once all the levels have been surpassed, the game engages you to play them again to earn all the medals, and there is were Spy Mouse excels.

    We have liked Resistance 3 a lot and consider it the best entry in the series. Although the campaign doesn't mantain the same level of engagement through the whole story, it is very enjoyable, varied and full of intense moments. The game makes a great use of sci-fy weapons to create interesting situations, and its online multiplayer has a lot of options. One of the best shooters of the year.
