Many games have promised a no limits playing experience, and many have failed to deliver this. However, Just Cause 2 has easily achieved this allowing you to travel to the remotest of locations and play the game in an extremely creative way, which makes it very easy to over look the repetitive nature of the mission.

No matter what Eurocom did, it's Wii version of GoldenEye 007 was never destined to be the iconic title the N64 original was. However, that doesn't mean the game should be dismissed, as it is by far the best shooter available on the Nintendo console and probably the best Wii game I've played to date.

Despite many improvements Battlefield: Bad Company 2 single player campaign still doesn’t serve up a truly great playing experience, its perfectly playable, solid and even quite enjoyable but just lacks something special. However, the games weaknesses in this department like so many other great shooters can be overlooked by an absolutely brilliant multiplayer experience that is simply unmissable, if you like intense online action you could be in worse company, than Bad Company.

Pretty amazingly, Doom 3 looks, by and large, exactly the same as its PC brother, which is a quite outstanding achievement.

It’s not a huge amount, and is ultimately worth it (it is more L4D, after all) but dwelling upon the injustice of it all can’t help but leave a bitter taste.

As you would expect from a Call of Duty title, Modern Warfare 2 offers an intense and exhilarating single player experience with the only disappointment that it doesn’t last very long.

Colin McRae’s Dirt 2 has made the transition from console to PC incredibly well, offering much the same in terms of play as before. However, the PC version has also brought some excellent tweaks which have added an edge to the experience, making Colin McRae’s Dirt 2 an unrivalled and unmissable off road racing experience.

Bayonetta may not be the easiest game to follow or be to everyone’s taste, but is full of original ideas.

The result being FIFA 10 now offers the most realistic and intense experience in the franchises history making it a must have for any football fan.

Despite a number of small disappointments, Forza Motorsport 3 is definitely the definitive racing title on Xbox 360.

This is not only one of the best superhero games ever, but one the best action games I’ve played in a long time. A definite contender for game of the year with the Dark Knight detective at his best.

Despite many improvements Battlefield: Bad Company 2 single player campaign still doesn’t serve up a truly great playing experience, its perfectly playable, solid and even quite enjoyable but just lacks something special.

This is the best Sims game ever and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to play the previous titles after experiencing the realism and freedom of The Sims 3.

The AI of the other drivers is extremely good and can almost have you believing that you are racing against other humans.

Mind boggling in size.

The aging system coupled with the aspiration system just makes The Sims 2 more addictive than ever.

The most shockingly-under hyped game of the year.

Unlike many tactical focused titles the game doesn’t bog you down with unnecessary commands, the interface has been kept simple and this accessibility only adds to the enjoyment of an action packed strategy title that’s packed with loads of missions.

One of the better adventure games produced in recent years, and thoroughly deserves to rub shoulders with the likes of "Myst." It’s just a shame it didn’t come up with the idea first.

The most unique looking graphics to come to any console.

With its ease of accessibility, it will appeal to most fans of the film with the exception perhaps, of only the hardcore strategists out there.

Enemies are by far not the smartest to grace a game and will often run towards you while you shower them in a hail of bullets.

Presentation wise Burnout 3 looks great, despite the fact that car models aren't the best looking or most detailed to grace the Xbox, also it's probably worth noting that none of the cars in Burnout 3: Takedown are real cars although a few do look like some well known cars.

Each non-playable character was highly unique in their appearance, voice, accent and behaviour which helps to get across the notion that the prison is truly teeming with life, individual personalities, groups of friends, rivals and enemies.

A truly exhilarating playing experience, the sheer size of the game means that almost every experience of the game is unique.

Cut-scenes too are of the highest quality and other effects such as explosions and fire have been created brilliantly.

There is just so much here that it really doesn’t feel like an add on pack, it feels like the other half of The Sims 2!

Although Multiplay is probably the largest part of the appeal, single play also works well and races are kept fun and varied if not a little easy to win.
