This year has been a dam fine year for gaming, the quality of games has been outstanding.2007 has been one the most memorable gaming years for me.
Early 2007 starting strong straight out of the blocks with LOST PLANET,superb shooter with great graphics amazing boss battles & fantastic multilayer maps i will never forget the map where you start submerged underwater brilliant.
CRACKDOWN what a wonderful unexpected surprise, a complete riot & a joy to play taking on gang members or climbing buildings collecting orbs or juggling trucks with your firefly rocket launcher, coop is amazing to as you could be at either ends of the city a complete blast.
GHOST RECON WARFIGHTER 2 & RAINBOW SIX VEGAS two world class shooter,s also took so much of my time ghost recon solid single player campaign stunning visuals but must admit the multilayer side needs to move on.rainbow six vegas was blazing on both counts brilliant single player campaign with multiplayer pushing the bouderies way to go ubisoft.
FORZA MOTOSPORT 2 WOW!what a game, this stunning racer is so comprehensive its making my head spin just typing it,over 300 cars including cars packs & tracks to download, comprehensive car customisation to deep to go into,built in market place trade, buy, paint & auction house even give a car as a gift what the hell! Crisp detailed vibrant graphics with stunning physics & crash damage which really effects the way you drive, stunning a.i. too all running at 60fps the mind boggles, i could go on but you my drift lol..
GOTHEM 4 is off the chain is as simple as that, the weather effect,s are gorgeous & its not just not for show either it really has an impact on the way you drive puddles will slow you down & so on, awesome handling great cockpit view, great online mode amazing tracks & cities to rip your car around & the graphics are truly firing.
BIOSHOCK one of the best first person shooters to arrive on the scene since the mighty halflife, amazing use of the unreal engine stunning water effects compelling storyline, fantastic atmoshpere, big daddies.
F.E.A.R EXPANSION PACK What game do you know where you can approach your enemy slow down time perform a fly kick to the chest & pump them full of bullets at the same time yep its f.e.a.r, why is it so good well it has the best a.i. i have ever seen in a first person shooter its that's simple, they flank you they speak to each other verbal & with hand signals, enemy animation is superb as well as voice overs, atmosphere is also brilliant with great shadow effects for good measure a quality scfi horror.As for the weapons they could be the best ever.

STRANGLEHOLD This game is a good old fashioned now brainer 3rd person shooter but boy is fun, just sit back and let those bullets fly john woo style, brilliant arcade action slick visuals destructable enviroments & a fun multiplayer riot to cap it all off, a satisfying blast indeed, the tequila gains are tops , you get precision aiming, bombs, & barrage, barrage being the best as you spin around in slow mow as doves fly dropping enemy at will exiting & fun.
MEDAL OF HONOUR AIRBORNE, Is this the best game in the world? hell no! is it fun play hell yes! a solid shooter indeed a nice blend of quality graphics open sandbox world where you can parachute in and start your campaign from anywhere along with great lighting gives this game its appeal, i enjoyed this one hats of EA.
ORANGE BOX This is the best bargain ever in gaming history, halflife 2 episode 1&2 plus portal & team fortress on disc stunning, in my humble opinion halflife 2 & the episodes are simply the best single player first person shooters i have ever played, no other game has ever got be so involved & gripped in a game like this one, the story, atmoshpere, visuals gameplay are the best, the pacing & set pieces & puzzles are great, character & enemies are so memorable, the last section in episode is just incredible, if your into first person shooters you must play this its a must.
HALO 3 the biggest game of the year & rightfully so. the best multplayer on the xbox 360 by a good stretch sure COD4 comes close but not closer enough in my opinion.
Brilliant visuals superb lighting, stunning 4 player coop campaign, the forge, huge levels, great enemy a.i, for those in the loop there,s no need to say much it just awesome online where it will be played for years to come, & its still got one thing now other online game has & that's match making! plus the amazing ability to watch all your games recorded at any angle, & send them to your mates.i love the theatre lobby where can all join in and watch a memorable frag fest OUTSTANDING!!!
CALL OF DUTY 4 Let me just start by saying the graphics are remarkable!! maybe the best this year, amazing multiplayer game which is deep & rewarding, the single player mode offers a compelling & exiting & engaging gaming experience, the effects & lighting are outstanding along with great particle effects really stand out.WOULD YOU BELIEVE THIS GAME IS ONLY 600P!! yep..

BioWare Confirms Mass Effect Sequel

BioWare (accidentally?) announced today the title of the second volume in the Mass Effect series of novels, confirming also that there will be a sequel to the Xbox 360 exclusive.

Del-Rey Books and author Drew Karpyshyn have announced the title of the second volume in the Mass Effect series of novels: Mass Effect: Ascension. Set between the first and second game, the novel will arrive in Summer 2008.

When EA acquired BioWare, the future of the Mass Effect trilogy was in peril, but with the developer now confirming that there will be a second game, we are pretty sure the companies involved have come to an agreement.
