Kharkov represents the good and the bad of the hardcore wargame genre. On the plus side, the modeling and detail are quite high and should satisfy any desktop commander. The new features, particularly the Area of Operations, enhance the realism and uncertainty of the battlefield, and the AI presents enough of a challenge that victory actually means something. We'll list the board game style presentation as a neutral feature. Personally, I feel that it has lots of charm, but some players will find the unit chits and dice rolls to be a bit distracting. On the bad side, Kharkov requires too much of an investment from new players, particularly so given that you're basically just replaying the same 16-turn scenario again and again. Yes, there's plenty of room for variety within the single battle, but even hardcore fans will start itching for new content soon. That, coupled with the difficulties in even learning the basics of the game, won't discourage most grognards, but it won't do much to attract new players either.

Pure delivers an outrageous, arcadey off-road racing experience with style and slickness. The controls are intuitive, the tracks are pure eye candy and the tricks are so crazy and over-the-top that you’ll find yourself gasping with glee when you land your first Lazy Girl. Although it’s a blast to play, it’s not the deepest game out there, and we found ourselves wishing for just a few more modes, tracks and options to round out the experience. But overall, Pure is just pure fun, and that’s what it’s all about.

To paraphrase Paul Daniels (the wizard king of the 1980s and Middlesbrough's answer to David Blaine) you may like this, just not a lot.

Electronic Arts just can't find its footing with these current SimCity games. Last year's SimCity DS and now both the Wii and DS versions of Creator have been disappointing. They get the basic gameplay right then muck it up with poorly-implemented controls. This DS version is a pretty big departure from most SimCity efforts. Switching things up isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a game with "Creator" in its title should make the player feel more like a God than a clumsy urban planner taking vague orders from a cartoon boss.

Baja è un titolo in grado di accontentare qualche un palato. Il suo punto di forza sta nella capacità di adottare un realismo di fondo collocandolo in un contesto solitamente impiegato per racing game totalmente arcade. Il compromesso dei ragazzi di 2XL games è quello di offrire un modello di guida simulativo (e, sulle prime, anche piuttosto ostico), cercando però di non eccedere nelle ristrettezze (ed è così che appaiono il sistema di riparazioni al volo, e la relativa elasticità dei piloti avversari). Qualche elemento, inoltre, è del tutto innovativo per il genere, come il sistema degli sponsor o le gare endurance. Ma al di là del buon numero di opzioni e tracciati, e oltre la completezza del pacchetto, si trova un comparto grafico deficitario, appena sufficiente (almeno nella versione 360, più stabile e fluida), che rende Baja un po' meno desiderabile di quanto non avrebbe potuto essere. Privo del giusto appeal visivo, il gioco è consigliato ai giocatori in grado di soprassedere ai limiti tecnici, che potranno così apprezzare quanto di buono c'è nel modello di guida e nel design dei tracciati.

Comme sur Wii et DS, Code Lyoko se révèle être un titre attachant, fidèle à l'univers de la série, mais un peu chiche en matière de contenu. On le recommandera néanmoins aux jeunes fans d'Aélita et de ses amis.

With plenty of puzzles, numerous game modes and two-player support (on PSP) PipeMania is a fun, tough puzzler that is different enough to other puzzlers on the market to warrant a purchase.
