    Superby detailed licensed cars, stunning visual effects, multiple modes and top draw sountrack makes this one a winner.

    The missions are a lot more complex then they were in GTA3, which means you will get more into the character as well as the plot, which means even more fun.

    What is so amazing about Burnout 3 is not so much its excellent modes but instead its amazing gameplay.

    Perfection is redefined in Link's latest adventure, and making it easily the best game ever, bar none.

    Grand Theft Auto IV is by far the most complete package I have seen in the last five to ten years.
    • Metascore: 88
    • Critic Score 100
    This is not only one of the best games of the year, it is the best game on the PS3 thus far as well.
    • Metascore: 91
    • Critic Score 100
    What ends up happening is that the first few versions were great, but the Wii version is what the original game wanted to be, a truly exceptional find. A must own Wii title.

    The best game I've played all year. It is an extremely fun platformer with stunning graphics not to mention the most extensive level creation tool I've ever seen.
    • Metascore: 85

    Dawn of War II is an easy recommendation for me to make it is one of the best PC games in recent year.
    • Metascore: 90

    Fallout 3 is a fantastic game that was well worth the hype and the wait.

    If you own GTAIV for the Xbox 360 you would be crazy not to go on Xbox Live and buy this game.

    The whole Wild West has been a huge missed opportunity for the video game industry, until now where we finally have a game that has put the Wild West back on the map.

    If there is one game for the Playstation 3 this year that I would say is a "must buy" Uncharted 2 is that game, it truly is one of the best games in years and could very well be the best Playstation 3 game of 2009.
    • Metascore: 84
    • Critic Score 100
    Just Cause 2 sets a new standard in the sandbox genre, and will be difficult to top due to its incredible graphics, expansive world, and extremely fun gameplay.
    • Metascore: 94
    • Critic Score 100
    What impresses me so much about this game is not only that it has a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it which it does, but that it delivers even through all of that.

    Civilization V is one of the best strategy games I have ever played.
    • Metascore: 87
    • Critic Score 100
    Undead Nightmare is an amazing experience that when you factor in the low price truly raises the bar over anything I have seen in terms of DLC packs in the last couple of years. Keep the zombies coming!

    It's hard for me to find a bad thing to say about Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it's just an amazing game. I remember thinking last year before we knew there was even going to be an AC: Brotherhood that it was going to be hard for Ubisoft to top AC2, but I am happy to say Brotherhood does in every single way. This is flat out a great game.

    We are finally beginning to see innovation within sports video games and Fight Night Champion truly is step forward not only for boxing but sports video games in general. It not only proves that stories can be an integral part of a sports video game but can be one of it's best. Fight Night Champion is the best boxing game out and in the conversation of best sports game of this generation.

    A great refreshing change in pace from your other run of the mill rpgs. It truly is a classic one of the best I strongly urge anyone who doesn't mind less than stellar game play graphics to go out and find a copy.

    There has been such precise and accurate detail placed on this game that it would be near impossible to point out any faults.

    This game goes where no Xbox Live enabled game has gone before.

    The hard-as-nails Ninja Gaiden is back, with improved camera system, a new mission mode and bonus game. At a budget price, you'd be crazy not let own this gem.
    • Metascore: 97

    Metroid Prime's strengths are so overwhelmingly impressive that its minor faults quickly become an afterthought. It's quite simply a remarkable game, and a stunning achievement.
    • Metascore: 96

    The navigation, the combat, the dungeons, the characters, and the peril you must face as that young elf boy in green are all fantastic.
