The only reason a Wii owner has to not invest in Rock Band is if they already own the 360 or PS3 version; otherwise, it's a no-brainer for sure.

Outstanding online gameplay, great visuals, solid racing mechanics, lengthy career mode and customisation options help make this a slick racer.

Colin McRae DIRT is much more than the customary quickie paint job that other racing games churn out. Instead, it reinvents the wheel for off-road racing, offering the best, most complex and thoroughly enjoyable game we've played in ages.

The graphics is not mind-blowing and the damage model has no middle ground, but between the pleasurable addiction of the long career mode, and the undeniable pull of bottomless online play, Forza Motorsport 2 isn't just money well-spent, it's the best Xbox 360 racer you can buy.

It's no surprise that NHL 08 is this years best hockey game offering. Adding vastly improved gameplay to last years impressive control scheme ensures EA's hold on the title of Best Hockey Game Yet Devised. 2K Sports is relegated to a distant second-place, plagued by overly complicated controls, a badly designed interface, and sub par gameplay. Another year will have to pass before we can see if 2K can turn the tide once again in their favour.
