Sexy Football! PRO EVO SOCCER 6 PS2, X360, PC, PSP, DS The ultimate beautiful game sim just keeps on getting more ultimate, making it the ultimatiest ultimate football game ever! A new shooting system means scoring goals is straightforward, even playing as Spurs! |
 |
Sci-Fi Blockheads! LEGO STAR WARS II PS2, Xb, GC, PC, PSP, DS It's the original Star Wars trilogy, airlifted into toyland with totally top shooty, puzzley gameplay! It's probably the most fun game of the year despite making us sweat embarrassingly over Leia's Lego bikini |
 |
Zombie Genocide! DEAD RISING X360 The first game in the world ever that lets you chop up millions of zombies with shopping carts, lawnmowers and plant pots in a shopping mall, while dressed in under 5's kiddie wear! If it weren't so hard, we'd be excited enough to have sex with the case |
 |
Retro Plumbing! NEW SUPER MARIO BROS DS Mario might not be able to flash plumber crack in those baggy dungarees, but he sure jumps a mean platform. This sideways jobbie is a superb old skool-style jaunt, beefed up with 3D characters and totally mental power-ups. We love! |

Spandex Gaming! GUITAR HERO PS2 Air geetarring to Steps at office Xmas parties doesn't work, but leaping about like a loon with a guitar peripheral to lots of devil-saluting songs, certainly does. Guitar Hero is the most original game ever. We love it. It rocks. Literally! |
 |
Schoolboy Rascalry! CANIS CANEM EDIT PS2
Great because you get to wedgie bullies and pull heaving great 6th form heffers. It's Grange Hill meets GTA, and even the classroom lessons are fun, which is strange, because the lessons we remember from school were s**t |
 |
Amazing Racing! TOCA RACE DRIVER 3 PS2, Xb, PC TOCA 3 features tip-top action in just about every motorsport ever, and the wheels don't fly off Micras if you take them past 180mph either, which is what happened to us on the M25 last year. The year's sexiest racer! |
 |
Grim Reaping! HITMAN: BLOOD MONEY PS2, X360, Xb, PC The baldie assassin who could improvise a kill out of a Kit-Kat, unloads his calculated war on street carnivals and classy operahouses. This is his best adventure yet, although we're surprised no-one asked us to pick off Pete Doherty in the rehab clinic level |

Deadly Warring! GHOST RECON ADVANCED WARFIGHTER PS2, X360, Xb, PC The irony of playing as 'ghosts' in this gritty tactical squad shooter, was that we got shot so many times, we may as well played as real ghosts. Really scary ones, with big teeth! A rock hard game with bomb-sized testicles |
 |
Mammoth RPGing! THE ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION X360, PC A ridiculously sized RPG epic of near limitless possibilities. Not only did it cost us our girlfriends, but it also nearly starved us to death by making us forget about our real lives! (Despite ability to harbour biscuit crumbs in our beards) |
 |
War Conquering! COMPANY OF HEROES PC
Most strategy games leave us in comas, but this fast-paced WW2 epic had us yelling pasionately at our little computer men, until all the veins in our forehead exploded in a very horrible manner. We're suckers for punishment! |
 |
Shrunken Fighting! TEKKEN: DARK RESURRECTION PSP Watching these athletic meatheads pound the absolute crap out of each other in one of the best Tekken games ever is amazing, and it's all been magically miniaturised on the PSP too, which makes it triply amazing! Plus, 9/10 for the lady perving |
