Winterbottom is a nearly perfect little game. It aspires to be everything you could hope for in a downloadable game: intelligent, artistic, charming, and polished.

Mass Effect 2 Is a science fiction blockbuster of a game almost from start to finish, with action sure to set your pulse pounding and character interaction that often transcends anything we’ve seen previously, especially in terms of interactivity. Despite everything that’s right with the game, there are still a few issues we hope to see perfected for the third and final game of the trilogy.

They’ve also found the time to reference their Capcom related past as well. Why else what your friendly arms trader utter the phrase “Whatcha buying?” before you hand over your hard earned cash?

Yes, it looks an awful lot like demon themed roaming beat em up Devil May Cry. Yes, the driving force behind this game is the creator of Devil May Cry. Most of us at CG aren’t huge DMC fans however; and yet Bayonetta has grabbed our attention with both hands.

DiRT 2 is the seventh instalment in the long running Colin McRae series and despite the Rally legend’s untimely death in 2007, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down.

The original Dead Space was essentially a refinement of Resident Evil 4. In that sense, Dead Space Extraction is a more ambitious title, opting to tackle an entire genre. In almost every way it succeeds, offering up the finest light-gun shooter yet.

For some PC gamers, Dragon Age has been a long time coming, in fact they might argue that they’ve been waiting since 2001, when Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal was released. Dragon Age you see, was billed as a spiritual successor to the much loved Baldur’s Gate series.

Well here it is, the Playstation 3’s biggest exclusive game of the year, and the return of its most charismatic character in Nathan Drake. The original was well received, but was a flawed experience. Have Naughty Dog found the golden idol, or is it a leap too far?

When it isn’t challenging your morals or way of life, Modern Warfare 2 plays out like the most intense summer action movie of all time.

Forza Motorsport 3: review
