In all Battlefield: Bad Company is a game rich on realism and incredibly satisfying.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 8.5
8th July Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy
All in all, a game that's definitely worth playing and one we recommend as a bit of light-hearted fun after the pub on a Friday night.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.5
24th June Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
Burst Limit is its own worst enemy: there are load of good ideas in there but it suffers due to the fact these aren't really explored fully.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.3
17th June Aces of the Galaxy
No game that has attempted to emulate the gameplay of Star Fox has come close to matching its quality. That is, until Aces of the Galaxy.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 8.2
11th June Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies
The Colonies Edition is not the sequel fans had hoped for, but rather a kind of greatest hits version of the original.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.5
6th June Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
At the end of it all, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is one of those games you want to like, but can’t. You want to say “Hey, it’s not you, it’s me”
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 6.2
4th June Ninja Gaiden 2
Team Ninja has listened to the critics and has somehow managed to improve on what was already one of the best games of the last generation.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 8.0
9th May Iron Man
If you're a fan of the film, don't buy this game. If you like movie tie-ins in general, you'll end up very disappointed by this one.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 4.8
11th April Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Despite the odd pleasing moment, Turning Point is never in danger of being a good game.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 3.8
11th April Condemned 2: Bloodshot
All in all, Condemned 2: Bloodshot is the true definition of what we've come to expect from sequels nowadays.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.3
9th April Rocketmen: Axis of Evil
Rocketman: Axis Of Evil is a dull shooter which tried to be an RPG and barely follows the conventions of the original tabletop game.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 3.5
2nd April Viking: Battle For Asgard
Despite its various flaws and largely unremarkable premise, Viking never leaves you hanging.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.3
1st April Dark Sector
A mixed bag of meh, that was awesome, and shoulda-woulda-couldas
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 6.7
21st March Lost
Lost has proven to be one of the most popular new television series in recent years, mainly due to its serialized storyline which gets ridiculously more complex with each passing season.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 5.0
20th March The Spiderwick Chronicles

Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.7
11th March Army of Two
On the whole, Army of Two is really a stand-out title when it comes to stressing the importance of teamwork.

9th February Devil May Cry 4
In short, if you haven't worked it out by now, Devil May Cry 4 could and should have been so much more than it ultimately was.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.3
6th February The Club
In order to make The Club, you need to take one part Gears of War, add in a dash of Street Fighter, blend with a good dose of Geometry Wars, and sprinkle liberally with PGR.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.8
1st February Rez HD
Rez always represented what games were all about: simple, beautiful and fun to play. The sometimes cell-shaded but mostly wire-frame graphics are all that fill your screen in this rhythm action shooter, but that’s all you need.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 9.7
4th December 2007 Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

20th November 2007 Crash of the Titans
After the lukewarm reception to Twinsanity, can this new game light a fire underneath the once triumphant bandicoot's flagging franchise, or will it cause the whole thing to crash and burn?
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 6.0
29th October 2007 Spider-Man: Friend or Foe
Spiderman: Friend or Foe is a children's title that will put adults to sleep, either through the tedious battles or juvenile dialogue.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 7.0
26th October 2007 The Orange Box
From what started as the game of the year with a short and sweet sequel, the Half-Life franchise is now well known for being the best of the best.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 9.8
1st October 2007 Halo 3
As the previous two games, the story is still as convoluted as ever with twists and turns at every level.

Genre: Shooter | Our score: 9.7
17th July 2007 Armored Core 4
Armoured Core has always been known as a gearheads dream, and whilst version 4 tones down the complexity somewhat, newcomers are still likely to be as baffled as ever.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 5.3
5th July 2007 The Darkness
The real focus of the title has always been to provide a compelling single-player story, and on that level The Darkness deserves nothing but the highest plaudits.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 9.0

Distribution issues aside, Shadowrun is a solidly average shooter that may appeal to hardcore fans looking for something a little bit different.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 5.3
19th February 2007 Battlestations: Midway
The intellectual and the bloodthirsty combine in this mix of strategy and action, as you take control of everything the 1940s navy has to offer.

A great game, but please, please! No more. It was great while it lasted.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 8.3
12th December 2006 The History Channel: Civil War
The biggest lesson that should be learned from this game is that developers should probably never try to tackle the Civil War time period if they plan on making it into an FPS.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 5.2
11th December 2006 Superman Returns: The Videogame
Superman doesn't do much at all to distinguish itself from any other generic adventure title that you could probably pick up in the local bargain bin.
Genre: Shooter | Our score: 5.0
