Games
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
The meathead marine Marcus Fenix returns to blast the shit out of the malevolent Locust Horde.
Midnight Club: LA (Xbox 360, PS3)
There may be a plethora of titles offering a street racing experience, but none do it as well as this free-roaming speed-fest.
James Bond 007 Quantum of Solace (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC, DS)
Forgive the scepticism, but multi-port film tie-in games are usually a big pile of shit.
Skate It (Wii)
Thanks to the Wii’s unique controls, the digital skating experience gets a whole lot more real.
Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360, PS3)
The original Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast was one of the best games ever. With its tactical fighting, upgradeable weapons and beautiful graphics, it was sublime.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP)
Marking a new episode in both the George Lucas cash cow and gaming technology, The Force Unleashed utilises a new game engine that simulates real-world physics to the smallest detail.
SEGA Bass Fishing (Wii)
What could be better than a nice relaxing day spent catching virtual fish with your virtual rod on a virtual boat? Not much according to SEGA.
Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360, PS3)
As an unfortunate understudy to the GTA series, Saints Row will win no prizes for originality. But it’s still rather good.
