Mafia II (PC, PS3, X360)
Developer: 2K Czech
Publisher: 2K Games
Genre: Action/Shooter
9/10
Summary: Mafia II is not perfect. Too short, does not contain much replay value and sometimes the transportation lengths are a little too long. At the same time it's skillfully told, incredibly good-looking and close to unimaginably atmospheric.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (PC, Mac)
Developer: Blizzard
Publisher: Activision
Genre: Strategy
9/10

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Platforming
10/10
Summary: Yes, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best Wii game so far. A perfect sequel where the finished, fantastic formula has been spiced up with several exciting news. This is one single big explosion of colors, playfulness and good ideas that will keep you entertained throughout the whole summer.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Genre: Stealth/Action
8/10
Summary: A meaty agent adventure that usually, but not always, makes you forget the limitations of the portable hardware. The production values are huge and the joy of playing is always there.
UFC 2010 Undisputed (PS3, X360)
Developer: Yuke's
Publisher: THQ
Genre: Sports
8/10
Summary: I was expecting the exact same game as last year. I got something more. UFC 2010 Undisputed is a way better game than last year's first try and it's nice to see how closely Yuke's and THQ listened to the fans. This fall we'll see if EA can match this.

Developer: Rockstar San Diego
Publisher: Rockstar
Genre: Action
10/10

Developer: Remedy
Publisher: Remedy
Genre: Horror/Thriller
7/10

Split/Second (PC, PS3, X360)
Developer: Black Rock Studios
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Genre: Racing/Action
6/10
Summary: Although it has some good modes and lots of big explosions, Split/Second feels like a racing game that depends way too much on a gimmick that's not very interesting. Good chaos also needs good order, and even though Split/Second isn't a total disaster, the promised carnage is pretty weak.
ModNation Racers (PS3)
Developer: United Front Studios
Publisher: Sony
Genre: Racing
6/10
Summary: Lots of content and a well-done online support are of course nice parts of ModNation Racers. Loose controls and boring kart-physics make this an average speed thrill.

Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Genre: Shooter/Action
