Amusant, voilà le terme qui définit le mieux ce jeu de surf qui se destine exclusivement aux plus petits. Mais la question est "Pour combien de temps ?". Avec un contenu plus que limité et quelques petits défauts énervants, il y a de fortes chances pour que Les Rois De La Glisse finissent par prendre la poussière quelques jours seulement après leur arrivée dans leur nouveau foyer. Un titre sympathique donc, mais dont on ne vous recommande pas l'achat. Une bonne petite location semble en effet beaucoup plus indiquée.

Should you actually invest the hours into learning the quirks of the game, the rewards are certainly there for the taking, but the single-player part of the game really just serves as a foil for deck building and basic training. With nearly three thousand cards to collect, it's obviously a necessary step, but the main draw is going to be playing against friends in duels -- something made even more obvious by the inclusion of the new 2-on-2 Wi-Fi battles. Amazingly, even with Infrastructure support for downloading more cards, there's no online multiplayer. It was bad enough that the first game didn't offer any online play, but Konami completely missed out on what could have been an insane amount of replay value. The game also misses a golden opportunity to actually bring newcomers into the fold. I've been teased by card battle games in the past enough that I know I can learn to love a good one, but the prohibitively -- almost offensively -- high barrier to entry is going to turn off far more people than it will coax them into playing. The digital versions of a TCG are supposed to be the easy (and comparatively cheap) way to learn to play, but at this rate, Yu-Gi-Oh! won't be snaring any random passers-by anytime soon.

World Heroes had enough of a hook with its roster of historical legends that arcade-goers of the early '90s probably weren't too opposed to the idea of dropping in a few quarters to check it out. But after a few rounds, those players would have ended up back in front of the Street Fighter cabinet – as you would too. World Heroes is a fair fighter, and does have a handful of interesting, unique features, but ultimately you'd be better off spending your Wii Points on a download of Capcom's classic instead, or waiting for some of the better, more developed Neo Geo titles to become available in the future.

Pour faire simple et bref, Portal propose un concept franchement original et le met fort bien en pratique. Maintenant, mieux vaut en faire l'acquisition dans le package complet de l'Orange Box ou attendre la diffusion de nouvelles cartes si on souhaite l'acheter à part, histoire de ne pas souffrir de la durée de vie rikiki. La note qui suit porte donc plutôt sur l'acquisition en pack.

Dave Mirra BMX Challenge fait partie de ces titres qui vous laissent un goût fade et amer en bouche. On ne peut qu'être déçu face au résultat final bien en dessous de nos espérances. Tel un corps qui rejette une greffe, la Wii dit définitivement non à Dave Mirra, pas compatible avec la bête.

Puzzle Quest was a pleasant surprise when it was released on handhelds earlier this year, and this XBLA version gets me excited all over again. The unlikely marriage of puzzle gameplay with RPG mechanics makes for one of the most addictive experiences available on Microsoft's downloadable service. The minor glitches that were apparent in the DS version are nowhere to be found here. It's also a bargain on XBLA, priced at half the amount of the portable versions. If you haven't played Puzzle Quest, yet, this is a definite download. And if you have it's likely you'll fall in love with its seemingly endless set of quests to be accomplished, different classes to try, and new spells to master all over again. Throw in achievements, higher resolution graphics, and online multiplayer -- Puzzle Quest is a marriage that will last.

Sega Rally è un arcade game solido, che funge da perfetto mediatore fra una concezione di gioco semplicistica (quasi “all'antica”) e una struttura tecnica che guarda alle ultime conquiste in campo videoludico, non solo per l'impatto visivo, ma per un'interattività ambientale che influenzi il gameplay. Da questo punto di vista poche critiche si possono muovere al racing made in Sega, primo vero esponente della categoria arcade in questa seconda generazione di software ludico. Resta il fatto che il prodotto ha ben poco di “rivelatorio” (anzi è perfettamente in linea con gli standard odierni), così come l'inevitabile ammissione che, per quanto godibile, Sega Rally sia anche dannatamente limitato. Da una parte dalla sua stessa natura, dall'altra da uno scarso numero di tracciati che conduce per mano l'utente alla monotonia. Adatto al gioco veloce e disimpegnato di qualche pomeriggio, del tutto inadeguato per sessioni prolungate o approfondite, Sega Rally resta un divertimento spicciolo. Un prodotto dunque tutt'altro che universale, anzi dedicato ai fan di una filosofia oramai in decadenza. Provatelo attentamente (sono disponibili demo su Ps Store e Marketplace) prima di valutare l'acquisto, sapendo che il pacchetto completo non offre molte soddisfazioni che vadano oltre la gara singola.

Orange Box is a terrific package and truly more than the sum of its parts. We highly recommend this to anyone who loves games. If you haven't played any Half-Life 2, this is a must buy. If you've played Half-Life 2 and are looking forward to Ep 2 and wouldn't mind checking out the other two games, we say go for it. If you only want Team Fortress 2 and have no interest in the others, you may want to get it individually. Any way you slice it, this is one hell of a deal.
