Ubisoft

It may have brought us some great games in 2007 with GRAW2, Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six Vegas (PS3), but Ubisoft really has filled the gaps with plenty of distressingly mediocre fluff - such as Surf's Up, CSI: Hard Evidence, Blazing Angels and Rayman Raving Rabbids. A worrying amount of garbage has also been hoisted upon us by the publisher/developer, with TMNT, Beowulf, The Settlers, America's Army: True Soldiers and Asphalt: Urban GT 2 all making critics cry small numerical tears.

Highest ranked game of the year: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (PS3)/Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (360) 86%

Lowest ranked game of the year: TMNT (PSP) 37%

Average review score for 2007: 63.6%

Above: Despite dividing opinion, overall Assassin's Creed notched up a favourable review score average

Vivendi

Yet another master of mediocrity, Vivendi hasn't soured us with anything dreadful in 2007, but with games like TimeShift, Crash of the Titans, Battlestar Galactica and The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night it's certainly drip-fed us a whole lot of average. WOW expansion pack The Burning Crusade and World in Conflict were the definite highlights in an otherwise comprehensively 'couldn't-care-less' kind of line-up.

Highest ranked game of the year: World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (PC) 91%

Lowest ranked game of the year: Empire Earth III (PC) 48%

Average review score for 2007: 68.8%
