I Want
Aliens vs Predator (PS3)

This revival of the classic FPS is deliriously gory, unwaveringly confident and spectacular fun. And, at the very least, it’s far better than the horrid AvP films.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (Xbox 360)

With meticulously detailed realism applied to some great modern warfare and an amazing co-op mode, this one differentiates itself enough from others shooters for players to make room for it ...

Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PS3)

This game has so many problems, but it also has so much stupid fun inside that it's the guilty pleasure of the season.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360)

With only an average single-player mode, this looked to be the latest in a long line of forgettable movie games. However, solid multiplayer action with lots of giant robot explodination ...

Army of Two: The 40th Day (Xbox 360)

This deadly duo of hetero life mates are back, this time fighting their way out of Shanghai. As a third-person action game it's not as polished or consistently entertaining ...

Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

Battlefield 1943 (PS3)

Go back to WWII via PlayStation Network, with 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations: Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. With its through-the-gun and vehicle warfare ...

Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360)

More maps, more enemies, more weapons, more glorious spectacle than the original, and that’s just the co-op. Fresh versus modes and intense violence make this the apocalypse to beat.

Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360)

This sequel to PS2's excellent Wild West outing looks like being a superb open-world experience in the beautiful expanses of the western frontier.

An incredibly tense multiplayer experience like no other. A must buy for shooter fans.

The Sims 3 (PC)
