Shadow of the Colossus is experienced as much as it is played.

The sound in the game is also phenomenal. The sound is so well done that you can sit still and listen, and you'll be able to tell the direction that guards' footsteps are coming from and whether or not they are coming towards you.

To really enjoy the game in all it's glory, though, you'll need to play it in dynasty mode.

Crysis has a lot going for it, even though you'll need a pretty powerful computer to get the full experience. It does have its shortcomings though, and among other things I think that it may prove to be pretty frustrating for casual gamers and that a fair number of gamers won't be too pleased with the endgame.

God of War: Chains of Olympus is hands-down one of the best PSP games available.

If you have a high level character, it’s hard to find a reason for you not to buy The Burning Crusade. An entirely new continent filled with great content and with some really imaginative zones to explore make the expansion a must buy.

If you're a college football fan, you can't go wrong with this game - you'll love it.

Games like Killzone 2 don't come down the pike very often, but when they do it is your duty as a gamer to purchase, play and love them. When it comes to action and/or shooting, nothing else even comes close.

Stardock has managed to make a great game even better.

All in all, Mass Effect is every bit a great as we were promised. The story is fantastic, the graphics are unbelievable, sound is fairly good and the music is wonderful, but weird difficulty changes, ridiculous length and a failed ‘run and gun’ battle system keep Mass Effect from its almost perfect score.

On the field of multiplayer shooter combat, Battlefield 2 conquers the competition with shock and awe.

God of War and God of War II are gaming at its best and this collection is recommended to anyone who missed the games the first time around.

Unless you have taken an oath to reject violence in your entertainment, there is no reason to skip Gears of War 3 – it has everything you could ask from a shooter and does them all with first class polish. If the Gears franchise has come to an end, it goes out on top of its game.

Gameplay, presentation, everything about it is about as good as it gets, and I can't really imagine any gamer coming away from this one disappointed.

Smart and sexy, just like its heroine. It is a thoroughly enjoyable, tongue in cheek romp through the world of 1960s espionage.

Dragon Age: Origins might have a few clichés here and there, but for those looking for a RPG to lose themselves in, you need not look any further. Dragon Age: Origins is a winner.

It is indeed a legendary game.

Never has a game so difficult been so rewarding.

Far Cry 3 is a very impressive game, one of the best of 2012, and will certainly make the list of most memorable games that I've played on the Xbox 360.

Even more amazing, and difficult, than Dark Souls.

No game puts you closer to being on a field of battle in World War II than Call of Duty.

PGR2 just doesn't make sure that you meet a race's goal – it will watch how you race and reward good moves.

The Sims 2 takes your sims to a whole new level, making them even more fascinating to watch going about their lives and interacting with other sims than they were in The Sims.

As for control, it is fluid and precise.

Bayonetta is a bizarre game that some will love, but many will hate.

The ultimate action-RPG.

The most advanced military shooter available on any system, bar none.

It's been a while since we've seen a game like this that's been this good.
