Pokemon Black and White (DS)

Coming in 2011 (for US version) and September 2010 (for Japanese version), Game Freak begins to publish another version of Pokemon, as already decided by nintendo that they will continue to develope as much as they can. Like its predecessor, this 5th generation of pokemon will require the players to adventure around the world, while collecting the 8 badges from each gym to challenge the League.

The green one with the grass ability, the red with fire ability, and the blue one with the water ability. Each of them has different moves which they can use to battle against other pokemons and different effectivenesses against every types of ability.

The battle scheme is similiar with the previous generations, with only some new features differ such as the movement of the pokemon during the battle.



The only difference availables between Pokemon Black and White is that the kinds of pokemon which possible to be caught, e.g ; the legendary pokemon.

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (PC)

Some sequels radically reinvent what has come before; others simply buff up a formula that already soars. To suggest that Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty does only the latter and not the former would be to sell short the fresh ideas and exciting gameplay that makes this superb real-time strategy sequel so enjoyable. This package delivers more than simple fun--it serves up incredible amounts of variety, from the cinematic and multifaceted campaign to the competitive and tightly balanced multiplayer. You might scoff at the fact that the game only includes a single campaign and, perhaps, at the high price point (the game retails at $59.99; $10 higher than the average PC game). But these are nitpicks, forgivable quibbles in a high-quality game that provides plenty of bang for the buck. Starcraft II is the natural next step for the series: it both embraces and updates the core components that made the first game a huge hit while layering on important features that give the game endless replay value, both online and off. This is one of the finest real-time strategy games in years, and whether you're new to the genre or have been studying Protoss build orders for the past decade, there's something here to delight you.



The campaign is the first of many of these delights. You may have heard that Starcraft II features only a single campaign: that of the human faction known as the Terrans. One of the game's few disappointments is that the other two factions--the Protoss and the Zerg--don't get their day in the sun, so if you're a newcomer who wants to prove your superiority (or inferiority) online, don't expect the campaign to prepare you for the potential onslaught. But the campaign is hardly a one-note wonder, offering loads of variety, including an entire set of missions that divulges important story elements from an entirely different perspective. Yet even outside of those devious missions, you accomplish diverse and interesting tasks throughout the story. In one early mission, lava periodically rises onto the mainland, posing a threat to any units not positioned on high ground. In another, an exploding sun causes a deadly wall of flame to steadily push you across the map. From one mission to the next, there's an intriguing new development that keeps you devoted to seeing what surprise is waiting for you next.

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)

A cocky self-proclaimed hero with a charming sneer and a heart of gold. A sultry, no-nonsense ally you can rely on for a sly quip and a warm hug. These characters sound like standard role-playing stereotypes, but to Final Fantasy XIII's credit, they transcend formula and wriggle into your heart. Like many other Final Fantasy ensemble casts, the misfits at the center of this tale feel like old friends, and like old friends, they will excite your spirit, move your heart, and sometimes exasperate you. Their story is grand and compelling--as absorbing as you could hope for in a long role-playing game. That's just as well, given the fun but flawed game woven around this excellent tale. This is an intensely focused, exceptionally linear adventure that offers a few illusions of choice but never makes good on them. Fortunately, the battle system is fun and engaging once all of its elements fall into place, and it will keep you pushing forward even when the story lulls in the second half. Yet don't let the flaws dissuade you from playing and enjoying Final Fantasy XIII. It's a gorgeous RPG that delivers the emotional poignancy and slick production values you expect from this beloved series.

Red Dead Redemption (PS3) 18++

As you ride the train west from the northern city of Blackwater, you have no idea what's waiting for you in the frontier town of Armadillo at the end of Red Dead Redemption's intro sequence. Conversations between other passengers clue you in to the state of the nation, and a quick look out of the window tells you that the territories are as untamed as they are beautiful. But it's not until you step off the train in the well-worn boots of protagonist John Marston and have to sidestep a drunk staggering out of the saloon that you realize how alive the world feels, and how much fun you're going to have exploring it. Similarities with recent Grand Theft Auto games are immediately apparent in the controls and the HUD, though both have been improved in subtle but important ways. Those basics, in conjunction with excellent gameplay, a great story, and a sizable multiplayer suite make Red Dead Redemption something very special.

Marston is an impressively detailed character whose scarred face and default outfit play big parts in making him wholly believable as a 30-something gunslinger. Other than donning a bandana that covers much of your face (and hides your identity so that you don't affect your fame or honor while performing certain actions), there's nothing you can do about the scars, but by putting on a different outfit you can change how certain people react to you. There are more than a dozen different outfits to discover and unlock. Some of them, like the duster jacket and the poncho, are easy to unlock and offer no real benefit other than making you look even more dangerous. Others, though, such as military and gang uniforms, can be obtained only after completing multiple challenges, and wearing them makes certain factions more accepting of you. There are even a couple of outfits that can make gambling more fun: one gives you the option to cheat anytime you deal in a game of poker, and another--acquired by signing up for the Rockstar Social Club--grants you access to a high-stakes game.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (NDS)

The third game in the Professor Layton series is finally here and will be available in North America in the fall. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is part of the first trilogy, but it won't be the last Professor Layton game that we'll see, given that we saw a 3D version in the works under the name of Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle.



We learn from the start that Luke has received a letter from his future self, and this is just one of the many mysteries that the duo will eventually have to solve. The pair head off to London to see the unveiling of a time machine, invented by a Dr. Alain Strahngun. Of course the presentation goes horribly wrong, and now Luke must follow directions that were given by his future self to see where it all leads.

Those who are familiar with the series will feel right at home with the game. You still navigate with the stylus by tapping on the shoe in the corner, and you click around the touch screen to find coins, talk to people, and solve puzzles. There is now a super hint that costs two hint coins if you want the answer to the puzzle once you've exhausted your three initial clues. This is not a bad option, as long as you have the coins to spare. It will at least save you the time of resetting the game if you're keen on getting the maximum number of picarats.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (PSP)

Before Roxas and even Sora, there was Ventus, a young boy with spiky blonde hair who looked just like Roxas. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep takes place 10 years before the events of the original Kingdom Hearts, where Sora was chosen by his keyblade to rid the world of darkness. Birth by Sleep tells the story of three characters, Aqua, Terra and Ventus, who are a trio of friends training to become keyblade masters of their own. While fans have been eagerly waiting for word on Kingdom Hearts 3, it looks like for now, we're going to have to go back in history to see how it all began



If you've played the kingdom heart series before, the control will be fairly similiar with the exception that you now lack an analog stick and need to rely on the shoulder buttons to move the camera. Also, though the gameplay is still similiar, there have been added some new combat features such as customizing the skills in the deck and meld them to make the new one. Like it predecessors, Birth by Sleep is an action RPG game, and depending on which character you choose to play as, the control will be slightly different.

There're 3 characters which you can choose to focus on; Tera, Ventus, or Aqua, with the separate story and separate save game for each. The story will told through the eyes of the character you choose, the progress of the story will be vary. The worlds and locations of each are the same, but you can get the full story by playing all of them.
