Perhaps it could've built on a few features found in V8 Supercars 2 to make it a more complete package, but it still makes great strides for the genre with smart gameplay ideas, great graphics and pitch-perfect car physics ensuring countless hours of enjoyment for genre fans.

Clearly the best rugby title every made and a vast improvement on what was seen in the series' two previous outings. Sure there are still some frustrations and plenty of room for growth, but Rugby 2005 stands as a worthy virtual alternative to the stud-happy reality.

It wins out on style, showcasing some of the very best storytelling in gaming, a likable hero and compelling gameplay in an atmosphere and tone that sits comfortably with its Gen-X audience.

Inspired Beat 'em Up action with some quality stealth mixed in to boot, just a shame that it lacks the polish to extrapolate its full potential.

AOE proudly champions these genre cliches, but in doing so, buries the old-school for good.

Marks a return of the series that should thoroughly satisfy fans as well as newcomers and silence the criticism that MGS2 received.

No other game has ever lived up to six years of hype and then left gamers so glued to their PCs that 24 hours later.

Perhaps if "Burnout 3" didn't exist, Crash 'n' Burn might have had a better chance. However, this is still an immensely enjoyable game for all destruction fans out there.

A solid game that is a dream for animal lovers and younger players. It is well laid out and well-presented. It just isn't challenging enough for older gamers.

A worthy title in the Medal of Honour series and probably the best representation of that campaign so far, but it can't quite beat "Call of Duty: United Offensive."

Has everything (and a bit more) that made last year's game such a huge hit. A must for all wrestling junkies.
