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.

Blue Dragon is a great addition to any RPG fan's games selection. It's a tentative call, but even Final Fantasy regulars might be impressed.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is an excellent addition to the Naruto franchise and it's sure to please fans of the series.

Untamed is a pup past its prime. The multiplayer mode holds potential overall but the uninspired off-road racing and bland presentation means you should only consider it if you're a die-hard franchise fan or an off-road racing junkie.

It might be a good rental if your seven year old has a weekend slumber-party or something but don't waste anything more than a couple of bucks on this one.

For all its flaws, Legacy deserves recognition as a commendable and entertaining attempt at capturing the essence of Star Trek's grandiose combat.

Back in the day of the Dreamcast, the excuse that the gameplay was just going through growing pains held water, but frankly, Sonic's time has run out. We're holding out hope that the Sixaxis control for the PS3 version will shake some life out of this franchise, but the prospects for this franchise are bleak.

Oh, what could have been! An RPG with this kind of pedigree should have been something Xbox 360 owners could be proud of; instead, it disappoints and is yet more proof that the 360 needs more quality RPGs and fast. Keep your fingers crossed, 360 fans, that Final Fantasy XIII delivers the goods

Any fan of hockey owes it to themselves to grab a copy of this instant classic.

While never quite proving itself as the penultimate virtual rock experience, Guitar Hero: World Tour is a blast in its own right that definitely deserves a look from both veterans of the series and newcomers alike.

If you're up for a challenging arcade-style racer that's light on tuning and heavy on adrenaline-pumping action, Midnight Club: Los Angeles won't disappoint.
