Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
PlayStation 3
You can take the Winning Eleven Seven out of the Pro Evolution Soccer series' title, but the Pro Evolution... nevermind. It doesn't quite do that either.

Iron Man
Xbox 360
No surprises here: another lousy game based on a great summer movie. Slightly surprising is that it comes from Sega, once a game industry powerhouse, now a peddler of tie-ins and tired sequels as often as not.

Dark Sector
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Dark Sector smacks of familiarity as it peels key gameplay elements from several top-tier 3rd-person shooters like Gears of War, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword et al. But it's not just imitation flattery, Dark Sector utilizes familiar elements in cleverly blended ways and does itself proud in the process.

Wii Fit
Wii
Be skeptical if you must, but Wii Fit really is a game that's good for your health. Better said, it's a great game that's also good for you health.

Grand Theft Auto IV
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
It turns out, sometimes hyped-up things really are all they're cracked up to be. Not often, but sometimes. This is one of those times. If you want to see a monster of a videogame and don't have a new-generation console yet, get one. Then get Grand Theft Auto IV.

Universe at War: Earth Assault
Xbox 360
Brought to you by some of the developers involved with the lovingly campy Command & Conquer games, Universe at War: Earth Assault doesn't quite match C&C's kitschy real-time strategy (RTS) shtick, though its gameplay mechanics and interesting mix of races does offer an engaging, albeit wildly unbalanced take on the whole RTS thing.

Silent Hill Origins
PlayStation 2
If you like your videogaming with mood, polish and some freaky scares, it doesn't get any more consistently stylish or creepy than the Silent Hill series. Silent Hill Origins specifically, meanwhile, is illustrative of why the ol' PS2 is still a relevant game system.

Mario Kart Wii
Wii
Have Kart, will race. Have large noggin, will chortle. Have Mario Kart Wii, will frame Page 13 of the manual and add it to the Princess Peach shrine in the basement next to the holographic likeness Farore, Goddess of Courage, Bane of Ganondorf. Take your pick.

Insecticide
Nintendo DS
If you're left handed, or if you covet subtle humans niceties like, oh, eyesight, you might want to steer clear of Insecticide, even though it's otherwise a pretty good bang at that whole murder mystery action/adventure thing.

Devil May Cry 4
Xbox 360
Long awaited, hotly anticipated, and never understated, Capcom's Devil May Cry 4 for Xbox 360 arrives with all its expected stylishness and glam-goth-garishness intact -- and buffed, in fact, as Cry 4 also marks franchise's first showing in high-def on the new generation consoles, eye-candy for the soul.

NBA Live 09 PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 If you're a basketball fan and a gamer, you probably feel compelled to buy a new NBA game every year for updated rosters if nothing else. This year, the one to buy is not NBA Live 09.
Fallout 3 Windows PC Fallout 3 follows in the auspicious footsteps of role-playing/shooter hybrids before it, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and BioShock, widely accepted as Game of the Year in 2006 and 2007 respectively. '08 just might be the year of the Fallout. But maybe not...
Fallout 3 Xbox 360 Fallout 3 follows in the auspicious footsteps of role-playing/shooter hybrids before it, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and BioShock, widely accepted as Game of the Year in 2006 and 2007 respectively. '08 just might be the year of the Fallout -- on Xbox 360, anyway (the PC version could've been better).
LEGO Batman: The Videogame Xbox 360 Seems this trippin'-the-plastic-fantastic thing just doesn't get old. LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Star Wars Complete, LEGO Indiana Jones and now LEGO Batman. So what's next? LEGO Terminator? LEGO Desperate Housewives? LEGO Jerry Springer?
NBA 2k9 Xbox 360 The battle of the basketball sims between EA Sports and 2K Sports has been going on for several years now and heading into the end of this decade, 2K Sports has edged its way into the lead, surpassing gameplay and presentation every iteration.
