It has been a while since a game who accompanied a new hardware launch produced such positive reactions , especially considering the fact that Wii Sports is distributed for free in U.S. and Europe (only if you buy a Nintendo Wii console), in comparison with Japan ,where the game has to be bought separately due to marketing issues that shouldn't affect you, unless you're a Japanese folk.

In 2000, Sunflowers released the first episode from the Anno series. Named Anno 1602 or 1602 A.D., it was one of the best city builder simulation games. You were one of the explorers determined to uncover as many secrets and to settle many islands. On your journey you will encounter different natives which can help you on your quests or not. Games like The Settlers, Caesar III, and SimCity, 1602 A.D. combine god-game and real-time-strategy elements to create an interesting blend of real-time and city-building gameplay.

In 2001, JoWood released the first Gothic game. After 5 years, Gothic 3 is coming with a new story and new adventures in its already known and superb universe.

This Need for Speed doesn't play by the rules of its consoles brothers. Own the City brings an entirely new story to Need for Speed: Carbon

Three years of total domination. This is what EA Games achieved with Need for Speed Underground series. Although the last two games didn't had the Underground name anymore, they were still clones of the same concept. Taking in consideration the fact that the FIFA series still exists and comes out with a new release every year, NFS is likely to become a new contender for the longevity price.

The yearly Electronic Arts sport titles releases are surely among the most awaited sport -simulation games available for pc's and game consoles. It's the case for Tiger Woods PGA Tour '07 too, who with this occasion makes its debut on Sony's Playstation 3 console. There is no doubt that a evolutionary step was made with this release regarding the gameplay, at least. Don' t know if next generation consoles are at the origin, but we like the current trend from EA sports.

The world of Ridge Racer has come a long way since its initial debut in 1993, and it seems that besides the ever increasing hardware speeds and gaming graphics progress that affect the visual part of the game,the gameplay in R.R. is oddly similar to what we tasted throughout the decade. With this new installment (which numbered among PlayStation 3 debut titles), the game presents itself as a more than OK game if you are a fan to the arcadish-surrealist driving style, while for the other category (lets say the Gran Turismo ) it is there just to show PS 3 muscles, which in this case it does , but only just. This is because Ridge Racer 6 on Xbox 360 actually looked a bit more polished, so on this issue the game doesn't score very well.

This is the second racing game based on Chrome graphical engine. This means GTI Racing is the result of Techland developers. It could be considered as a sequel to Xpand Rally which is the first racing game to use the Chrome technology. Beginning with the menu design, everything causes a deja-vu in your brain (taking in consideration that you have already played Xpand Rally). Same game progression, same tuning modes, same graphics. If there was any need of creating this game! The good news is that this game has some good elements making it much better than its predecessor.

Genji: Days of the Blade picks up from where it's predecessor Genji: Dawn of the Samurai left off on Playstation 2 console. The game was one of the bunch that accompanied Sony's Playstation 3 console launch,and it kinda shows why. It seems that the idea was to reveal some of the capabilities(mainly from the graphic point of view) of which Playstation 3 is capable off. The HD graphics and sounds are really amazing,but that won't solve some of the gameplay flaws ,that in my opinion bring the title rank down a bit.
