Cuboid è un titolo ben realizzato e curato sotto molti aspetti, ma privo di grande longevità. La sfida tramite classifiche online perde verve molto rapidamente, e l’unico punto che può spingere ad una rigiocabilità è la presenza dei tanto ricercati trofei. L'adesione alle logiche più classiche del Puzzle Game basilare, rende il titolo consigliato agli appassionati. Ciò che penalizza maggiormente il gioco è il prezzo, che rispecchia la qualità del prodotto ma risulta troppo elevato (tenendo conto che online su personal computer titoli molto simili sono scaricabili gratuitamente). Vi resta il libero arbitrio.

Für PC-User hat sich die Wartezeit gelohnt. Der Hochgeschwindigkeits-Raser, der nur knapp geschlagen auf Platz 2 unserer Wahl zum Rennspiel des Jahres 2008 landen konnte, sorgt für klasse Unterhaltung am Rechner: Eine punktgenaue Steuerung, ein enormer Umfang, eine nahtlos integrierte Online-Anbindung mit Hunderten Missionen, dazu ein zusätzlicher Party-Modus für Hotseat-Crashmeister, sowie eine bis auf die DJane klasse Akustik. Ich weiß gar nicht, wo ich das Schwärmen beenden soll. Doch dann holen sie mich doch wieder ein, die Schatten der Vergangenheit, die auch der Ultimate Box trotz eines gewaltigen Komplettpaketes „nur“ zur gleichen Wertung wie der Ursprungsversion verhelfen. Die späten Richtungshilfen sind bei einem Highspeed-Rennen nahezu wirkungslos und gehen nach wie vor unter. Der Wagenwechsel hätte mittlerweile deutlich komfortabler ausfallen können. Und dass es bei Motorrädern nicht nur eingeschränkte Crashsequenzen gibt, sondern zusätzlich nicht möglich ist, gemeinsam mit den vierrädrigen Kollegen auf die Piste zu gehen, ist ebenfalls bedauerlich. Dennoch: Der Abstecher nach Paradise City steckt voller offensichtlicher sowie versteckter Reize, spielt sich erstaunlich frisch und liefert damit den Beweis ab, dass gute Qualität selbst in der schnelllebigen Videospielwelt absolut zeitlos ist. Für die erweiterte Wiederauflage der 360- bzw. PS3-Varianten spricht allerdings nur die komfortable „All-in-One-Lösung“, die den Download der zusätzlichen Gratis-Inhalte erspart und gleich den kostenpflichtigen Party-Modus erhält. Festzuhalten bleibt, dass sowohl Konsolen-Nachzügler als auch vor allem endlich die PC-Spieler eines der besten Arcade-Rennspiele der letzten Jahre in seiner XXL-Version in ihre Sammlung aufnehmen dürfen.

So Sonic Chaos isn't a total retread of territory covered before in earlier Sonic titles -- but it's pretty close. Diehard fans of the hedgehog hero will no doubt want to dive back in to this lesser-known 8-bit adventure and enjoy its handful of unique elements, like Tails' flight and Sonic's Emerald-hunting bonus stages. The rest of the Wii-owning world, though, would be perfectly fine without experiencing this one. As the ninth different Sonic-related title to come to the Virtual Console thus far, there are several other ways to spend your Wii Points and get back a superior Sonic experience as return on your investment -- and that's what I'd recommend. Take the 500 you would have used here and, if you're in the mood for 8-bit Sonic, check out the Master System Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Otherwise, add three more bucks and grab one of the original Genesis trilogy. The Wii's definitely become a Sonic box, but that doesn't mean we have to drown in the overflow -- we can use the variety SEGA's offered us and pass by these lesser entries in favor of sticking with the Blue Blur's best.

Finalement, Rise of the Argonauts n'est ni un beau jeu, ni un jeu très optimisé. L'essentiel de son charme se situe dans son fond et non dans sa forme. Si vous êtes capable de supporter les bugs par dizaines, les fréquents ralentissements de l'affichage et les maladresses au niveau de l'ergonomie, alors vous avez peut-être une chance de succomber à cette quête mythique et immersive. Mais si ce n'est pas le cas, inutile de vous bercer d'illusions, ce jeu n'est clairement pas pour vous.

SimAnimals is a solid simulation for kids. There are a lot of engaging gameplay possibilities here, the difficulty is low, and the controls are simple. The package lacks personality, but it's easy to get caught up in the day-do-day tasks of nourishing your forest. After the Wii game turned out so shoddy, it's nice to find a good version here on the DS.

La lista dei riconoscimenti alla fine del gioco, di durata pari ad oltre 10 minuti, ben rappresenta la grandezza del progetto Killzone 2, un vero e proprio tour de force dal punto di vista tecnologico con un impatto devastante in alcuni frangenti, ma anche un gioco solido nel suo gameplay seppur molto classico, dotato di discreta varietà e soprattutto di un senso di immedesimazione molto elevato, che rende ogni scorcio d'azione estremamente piacevole. Il multiplayer rappresenta una parte egualmente importante e di alto profilo, strutturata magistralmente nelle classi e abilità e naturale continuazione dell'esperienza in singolo. Le criticità sono rappresentate dal sistema di copertura, interessante ma di esecuzione non pienamente riuscita e dall'assenza di una modalità cooperativa, che avrebbe giovato alla luce di una durata del single player discreta ma non eccelsa. Killzone 2 ad ogni modo rappresenta quel titolo, appartenente al genere forse più attuale e inflazionato su console, che tutti i possessori di PlayStation 3 dovrebbero possedere con fierezza, e non solo per il suo comparto tecnico eccezionale.

But that's not all! Because, of course, there's also the matter of Metal Slug Anthology -- the physical disc release that already came out for Wii years ago, and contains both this game, and Metal Slug X, and every other installment in the series up to and including Metal Slug 6. So if you're weighing out your Wii Point investing options, there's a whole lot to dissuade you from downloading Metal Slug 2. It's still a pretty solid game on its own, and there's no denying it's both hilarious and filled to the brim with great run-and-gun action. But it's brought down considerably by the slowdown that plagues many of its scenes, and it's almost guaranteed to be brushed aside by Metal Slug X when and if that superior edition arrives in Virtual Console form. If you're a hardcore Slug fan, go ahead and drop nine bucks. But everyone else is going to be better off waiting for a while, or else just going back to revisit the Anthology release.

It's Bejeweled 2. A solid port of Bejeweled 2, but Bejeweled 2 nonetheless. If you love the game, the $10 is worth it. If you're only a passing fan, you might as well just stick with the free online version. You don't have as many options, but it's still addictive and will appease your match three puzzle hunger.

Let me finish this review by saying something about the score. When we assign ratings to games, we take into account what each title is. Most of you are reading this review because you want to hear what we have to say about a game that you consider a joke. If you're reading this right now, then this game is obviously not for you. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that. If you are actually interested in this title, it's because you have young children at home, and that's who this game was meant for. Go, Diego, Go! as a series is intended solely for preschoolers, and makes no attempt to reach outside that narrow demographic. Go, Diego, Go! Great Dinosaur Rescue mirrors the show in that philosophy. You can't compare a game like this to others meant for older children or adults. We are reviewing this title on its own merits as a game for preschoolers, and the following scores reflect that. When all is said and done, this is a decent game for preschoolers, but the simple lack of content hurts the overall product. This title is meant for the youngest of gamers, so it’s not recommended for anyone over the age of six. If your child is a fan of the series, they’ll probably enjoy this game as long as it lasts, but because it’s so short, you may be better off just picking up a few episodes on DVD.

S'il n'était pas aussi court, Dora Sauve la Princesse des Neiges trouverait une place légitime sur l'étagère des jouets de votre rejeton. Fidèle aux épisodes télévisés, plutôt bien construit, visuellement attrayant, il possède les qualités nécessaires pour retenir l'attention d'un enfant fan de la petite exploratrice. Malheureusement, attendez-vous à ce qu'il soit très vite abandonné par son utilisateur, la faute à un contenu beaucoup trop maigre, surtout à presque 30€ pièce.
