    Saints Row: The Third
    Saints Row: The Third takes everything your teenage self found awesome and distills it into a single, outrageous game.

    Shift 2: Unleashed
    Shift 2: Unleashed doesn't offer the experience that so much of the preview footage was based on. That being said, it's still a great racing game.

    Iron Brigade
    Schafer hasn't been able to crack the finer details of blending a story with action and strategy, but Trenched is definitely a step in the right direction, opening up a myriad of possibilities.

    Unreal Tournament III
    Though it lacks the modability of the PS3 and PC ports, it makes up with the excellent implementation of split-screen and is a game sure to please multiplayer gamers in search of something new.

    Neverwinter Nights 2
    NWN2 doesn’t even come close to matching the high caliber that has been reached with other recent action-RPGs on the market, and is ultimately a poorly executed finish.

    Mega Man Powered Up
    Mega Man Powered Up is easily one of the best titles on the PSP at this point in time - a must-buy for all fans of the Blue Bomber.

    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    A unqiue, exciting and thoroughly enjoyable game that provides an experience that you won't get anywhere else. It also happens to be one of the best games based on a movie since "Goldeneye."

    Gradius V
    Quite simply put - this is the finest horizontal shooter on the PlayStation 2. In fact, it’s the finest horizontal shooter on any of the next-generation systems.

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    Simply great fun to play. It embodies everything in the Marvel universe, which is a legendary license unto itself, while simultaneously providing an extremely solid Action RPG experience.

    The Darkness
    The Darkness is an experience first and something you play second. If you can get your head around that you’ll find plenty here for your hard earned cash.

    Test Drive Unlimited
    Test Drive Unlimited breathes quality in almost every area and is arguably one of the biggest surprises of the year.

    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 3: Lair of the Leviathan
    Too much of the game may be spent back-and-forthing between two locations, but the pace eventually picks up. This combined with the re-appearance of Murray make this episode worth checking out for Monkey Island fans.

    Blur
    Bizzare hasn't broken any rules, instead choosing to fine-tune and streamline Blur into something that every racing fan should experience.

    Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of The Betrayer
    Not since Planescape Torment has the AD&D rule set shone so brightly. It's just a shame that all the fantastic elements of Mask of the Betrayer had to be contained within the same awkward engine that Neverwinter Nights was.

    Darksiders
    Darksiders is a fantastic debut for Vigil Games and an addictive adventure destined to spawn a cult of worshipers.

    SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
    SOCOM 3 is everything a sequel should be. On-line and off, SOCOM 3 is a rewarding experience.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
    It's amazing that a slightly buggy game that was originally slated for a 2003 release can provide such fantastic gaming. It's almost scary to think just how influential S.T.A.L.K.E.R. could have been, had it been released 3-4 years ago with completely polished code.

    Okamiden
    There is little lacking and so much right within Okamiden. A great sequel, a suitable DS send-off and an outstanding game in its own right.

    Hitman: Blood Money
    The most robust and refined Hitman experience to date.

    Castle Crashers
    A benchmark in downloadable content, even with all of its launch issues around online multiplayer.

    Tomb Raider: Legend
    While Tomb Raider: Legend is a solid game, Crystal Dynamics just haven’t taken any chances with it – all of the design choices throughout the game feel too safe.

    Sonic Rush
    Sega have successfully blended basic 3D and amazing 2D into the game, anyone who has moved away from Sonic in recent years has a great reason to come back to the series now.

    Prince of Persia Classic
    Prince of Persia Classic ought to serve as a template for all future XBLA remakes. It had great potential but needed a little extra refinement to broaden its appeal.

    Call of Duty 3
    As a single player it’s a disappointment and something that would be better played when found cheaper. However, if you’re after a multiplayer game look no further.

    Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free
    A tighter and more interesting instalment than the first episode, and a step in the right direction for this oddball series.

    Mario Kart Wii
    One thing Mario Kart Wii features a lot of is multiplayer options.

    Split/Second
    Split / Second: Velocity is frenetic, exciting and gorgeous, but beneath the glittering surface lays a repetitive, shallow arcade racer that is ultimately encumbered by an unfair level of difficulty which discourages long-term investment.

    Sega Genesis Collection
    One of the best compilations ever, we're just hoping that Sega bring out some compilations for the Sega Saturn and the Sega Master System.

    Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
    It might not deal with terrorists or modern combat, but Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary remains a downright enjoyable experience from start to finish that most gamers should experience.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo
    Fireteam Bravo is a slightly flawed gem, but it’s a gem nonetheless and its gameplay online and off shines bright enough on the PSP’s widescreen to capture the hearts and minds of the SOCOM faithful and all PSP gamers who have been long starved of first-class gaming entertainment.
