The Saboteur (Xbox 360)

The Saboteur is a charming mess. Yes, the unpolished gameplay can be frustrating and, yes, the storytelling can be silly. But as soon as we drove through the gorgeously stylized ...

MAG (PS3)

Kudos to Zipper for being trailblazers in terms of how many people you can cram into a game but beyond this USP, MAG is a fairly generic affair. It all ...

Let’s keep it good and simple: Modern Warfare 2 is this year’s must-buy first-person shooter.

I've Beaten
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS3)

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow (PSP)
Gabe Logan returns to action yet again, this time to track down his missing partner, Lian Xing.
Gears of War (Xbox 360)
When the gears start grinding, the cogs best come strapped ... firepower and tactics collide in Gears of War
Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
How to better the GameCube's best game? Just add more of everything.
Medal of Honor Heroes (PSP)
A nice in-between of PS1 and PS2-level shooting, with a truly impressive online battlefield to balance out the irksome solo player issues.
Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3)
Battlefield shifts its focus to a single-player experience and the results are thrilling, immersive and just plain fun. Multiplayer's still no slouch, though. Also: tanks!
Collecting Dust
Resistance 2 (PS3)

This amazing sequel expands in scope and action everything that was great about the first.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
The second instalment of Nathan Drake's archaelogical adventuring.
The Godfather (PS2)
A great (if repetitive) car-crime game that immerses you in the movie's 1940s gangster drama.

Another PSP round of carjacking, gangster-blasting, drug-running and everything else-ing, this time in the pastel-and-neon, thong-watching capital of the USA, Vice City.
Dark Sector (PS3)
There's a good game here - but it looks so much like Resident Evil 4, you might miss it.
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

While fixing the tiny problems of Gears, the sequel gives you all you wanted and more, occasionally feeling like too much more. Still this is the explosive bloodfest you've ...

Coded Arms Contagion (PSP)
A by-the-numbers FPS that does nothing special to separate itself from the pack.
