The sequel to 2006's action smash hit, Gears of War, Gears of War 2 offers much of the same, only ramped up to 11. If you like your action thick, fast and over-the-top - this is a game you need to check out...

Dead Space is one gaming's great achievements; a fully realised game-world with so much to confront and do, plus more than enough to scare the absolute pants off you. If you like your games horror in foundation, you'll love this...

Fable 2 is finally upon us with all the promised dynamic gameplay more than intact. With a massive and lush game-world to explore and live in, the minor technical and interface problems we have are easily overlooked, provided you're a fan of all things sword-swinging and fantastical...

A 50sqkm game-world with stunning visuals, unbelievable freedom and fire that spreads and destroys all in its path make Far Cry 2 a stand-out achievement for 2008 gaming. Is it too ambitious for its own good though, or does it balance everything just right?

Fracture applies terrain deformation as its main draw in a future where the United States has become divided into two warring factions. Unfortunately a laughable plot, bad design, an uninspiring multiplayer mode and the worst charcter name this side of Jospeh Turok leave very little to be desired here...

Another LEGO videogame entrant in the form of the Caped Crusader, Batman. Team up with Robin to tackle Gotham's worst criminals upon their escape from the notorious Arkham Asylum. And if playing the good-guys isn't your thing, you can also play as Batman's greatest foes from Poison Ivy and The Riddler to The Penguin and The Joker...

Pure is just as its name suggests; a 'pure' arcade racing experience across various tracks of equally varying skill and style. Build and race quad-bikes to launch off massive jumps, plough through mud and beat the opposition!

A similar game to those that have come before, Soul Calibur IV's biggest offerings are frustrating online gameplay and Star Wars characters fans don't seem to want. Is it time for the series to undergo a big change?

One of the deepest and most rewarding tennis games ever crafted that might just be too ambitious for its own good. For all the depth of the game's mechanics, picking it up and learning to play can be a real challenge that will likely scare many away. Check out our review to see if it's the sort of game you're willing to invest in...

EA and DICE have done a commendable job of compacting the best parts of the popular Battlefield series and bundling it with an entertaining narrative. Battlefield Bad Company is a much more attractive console game than any straight-up port of a PC Battlefield title could be; A worthwhile purchase for any first person shooter fan looking for a bit of light-hearted fast-paced explosive action.

For those holding out for that one must have PlayStation 3 exclusive title to justify the shiny machine's unfaltering price, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots may or may not be the answer. While it may be an exceptional work of art and a material example of the PS3's technical capabilities, you'll either enjoy it, or you won’t.

Square-Enix retool the Japanese RPG blueprint here with an action/RPG hybris riddled with Japanese pop music that may or may not be the death of you. Looking past a questionable soundtrack reveals an interesting game that works pretty well on the DS with a funky art-style and great story...
