#11: Eye Pet on Playstation 3.

We said: “If Eye Pet is a sneak peak at the future of Sony’s motion control plans, consider us very, very excited indeed. Despite primarily targeting a younger audience, Eye Pet’s forward-thinking technology, interesting gameplay mechanics and nauseatingly cute presentation should please anyone with a pulse.”

#12: Colin McRae: DiRT 2 on Playstation 3.

We said: “Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is a masterclass of engaging pacing, enjoyable racing and innovative presentation. A real spectacle.”

#13: Modern Warfare 2 on Playstation 3.

We said: “In trying to outdo Call Of Duty 4’s monstrous setpieces, Modern Warfare 2’s narrative becomes cluttered. Despite that though, Modern Warfare 2 is a prime showcase of Infinity Ward’s ability to create tight shooting and interesting mission design. It does nothing to drive the genre forward, and it’ll fail to surprise you like CoD4, but it’s still absolutely worth playing.”

#14: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on Playstation Portable.

We said: “Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is a delightful package of tuned gameplay and inspired mission design wrapped together in a bow of cynical, dry writing.”

#15: Killzone 2 on Playstation 3.

We said: “Killzone 2 is an audio-visual tour-de-force which defines a saturated genre without ever adding anything new to the recipe.”
