Dead Space is a game that starts with a lot of promise but ultimately fails due to many bad gameplay decisions and frustrating situations.

Though it’s a successor to Far Cry in name, Far Cry 2 is a very different experience to the last. You play as a new character and have been moved from the tropical island of the first game to the African savannah and you are placed in the middle of a fierce faction war that has been lasting for years, acting as a gun for hire. It’s a new and unexplored area of the world for games, and while it could make more of the overall setting and circumstances of your visit, you are treated to some of the most enjoyable combat in a first person shooter yet.

Titan Quest attempts to copy the Diablo formula of hack and slash while adding its own unique spin to the genre. While the game will likely be perfect for fans of the genre looking for something to tide them over until Diablo 3 lands, the areas where it attempts to differentiate itself tend to fall flat.

The Brothers in Arms series has always stood out from other WWII shooters by offering a more story driven, squad based experience rather than the usual run-and-gun, punch-Hitler-in-the-face type of game. Hell’s Highway is no exception to that formula, and while it doesn’t exactly pioneer anything new for the series, it does a fairly good job of refining the experience, and though a few faults remain, you are left with a compelling movie-like experience that any fan of the series won’t soon forget.

Last year Crytek released Crysis on the PC and computers all over the globe suffered hours of pain as we PC gamers desperately tried to get it running at a steady frame rate. Since then, technology has changed, and so have Crytek as this time they have actually tried to make the game run “well” on a range of machines. Crysis Warhead not only furthers the graphics on the PC, but brings these visuals to a wider audience of gamers which is a great thing because this game definitely deserves a play through.

Audiosurf is a game made by a small indie development team that has no right to be as damn good as it is!

 Team Fortress 2 is Valve's latest Multiplayer FPS, the most successful part of their amazing Orange Box collection, and it's been a long time coming. 

It's a fantastic game, and more importantly, it has a unique idea behind it which seperates it from the rest of the multiplayer shooters of the world. It's just a shame that nobody plays it!

While It's arguably not a true MMO in that there isn't a persistent world, It's a fantastic and engaging RPG that you can have great fun with either on your own, or with friends

Eternity's Child shows a lot of promise, but numerous small mistakes and some frustrating level design spoils what is otherwise an enjoyable game.

Mass Effect for the PC is an epic, amazing experience that is only marred by its numerous technical problems.

Call of Duty 4 offers a fantastic campaign, an addictive multiplayer suite and some really pretty graphics. If there is only one shooter from 2007 to buy, this should be it.

While the initial impressions may be high, Assassin's Creed doesn't do much in terms of variety and the formula can ware thin quickly, that said, with its impressive visuals and exciting gameplay you are bound to find a few hours of fun in this game.
