    In spite of the controls, the game offers what the developers promised: frantic gameplay in which you can't stop shooting and transforming while you move quickly through levels full of action.

    Summing up, Overlord 2 is an excellent action and strategy adventure no fan of the genre should miss. It doesn't have plenty of new features, but even the original fans will find enough charm in this title to be engaged again.

    Taking into account this is not a very long title, the result is a game which could have been much better, providing the good idea it comes from, but because of its simplicity and scarce durability, it falls far from what we expected.

    With no doubt Overlord Dark Legend is fresh air for the console portfolio, not only for its control system -which we have already seen in other games-, but also for that uninhibited and "bad-ass" style it has.

    Ghostbusters is a good game, a bit far from the great 3rd person action titles in gameplay and, specially, in visuals, but it has two things which make it a unique game, the originality of its gameplay, and the atmosphere: the sensation of being starring a Ghostbusters movie, interacting with, learning of and following the path of a myth of the eighties.

    It is fun to play with the environment physics, and the freedom to destroy every building in the game, but it flaws in its progression, which lacks freshness. In fact, had the script been better built, and with greater variety, this would have been an unbeatable game.

    Summing up, the first game of the moviemakers of Blue Omega is not as good as they expected. They have to work hard to polish the errors committed in this game, which better argument is the Steampunk aesthetics so enjoyed in underground genres.

    It is not "Fable" and it does not try to be, it just takes these elements and combines them with some others to create very fun videogame, with its own personality and a well-achieved and told story, perfectly integrated with its gameplay. A more than recommended buy.

    Necrovision is overall a good game, with some fun moments and original features, something to praise nowadays... but it does not reach to be a great game. Thus, combining the little awareness of the game in comparison with the latest larger productions, will probably make Necrovision go mostly unnoticed.

    If Patapon was surprising because of the freshness and charm of the characters, Patapon 2 completely lacks that, which can lead to think that this is simply the same game, with some minor touches to deliver and strengthen the console portfolio. Nothing further from the truth, this title can be compared with any blockbuster on the PSP.
