The Darkness is a first-person shooter based on the comic book of the same name, although some changes have been made to the story.

Condemned is a first-person survival horror game that places an added emphasis on melee combat and puzzle solving, including searching for fingerprints and gathering evidence.
This is actually considered so violent that all copies were removed from sale in Germany earlier this year, although they did that to Mortal Kombat as well - which seems rather tame these days.

Although it’s quite fair to say that Pure isn’t the most in-depth game ever made, it has to be one of the most exciting. Not only does it look amazing, the tricks and stunts you can pull off look just as good.
It’s an off-road racer, by the way, that can either be played alone or against anyone from across the world via the wireless network. Great fun it is too.
Zavvi have both the PS3 (click here) and XBox 360 (click here) versions of this game available for £17.99 each.
Half-Life 2: The Orange Box is great value for money, as you’re actually getting five games in one box. These are Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal.
The surprise hit from this little lot has to be Portal, which consists of a series of puzzles that are solved by teleporting your character and simple objects using the "portal gun".

The fact that Magical Starsign is the sequel to GameBoy Advance title Magical Vacation is a little bit irrelevant really, as it wasn’t released in the West at all. It’s a pity, because I’m sure that GBA owners would have enjoyed it immensely.
Anyway, you play as a student at a magical academy who must try and rescue both your teacher and your classmates who have mysteriously disappeared. There’s also an extra dungeon to explore when you take part in the multiplayer mode.

Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is an excellent graphic adventure game that has been critically praised for its brilliant storyline and engaging character dialogue. It really is very enjoyable, I must say.

It’s all well and good the next-generation platforms having big fancy versions of Call Of Duty, but we shouldn’t forget how great the original trilogy was as well.
