Dead Space 2
It hasn't taken too long to have a game of the year contender. Dead Space 2 is one of the most thrilling titles released in a long time. It is just generally eerie from start to finish.
For all of the time I played it, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next swarm of necromorphs, to see what form they would take or even just wondering why there was a large amount of dead bodies littered on the dark ground.
Stuff like that was only a small touch, but it all adds up and makes this such a thriller. In truth it is the whole experience that messes with your mind and has you wondering why the curtain is twitching in your living room and what the unexpected noise upstairs is.
Call of Duty Black Ops
There are not many games that hold the stature and appeal of 'Call of Duty'. 'Black Ops' was always going to be one of the biggest releases of the year because of the cult following for the series.
It's competing with some major brand names in other entertainment genres, and that can only be a good thing for the gaming industry.
Luckily, all the hype is justified. It's a spectacular shooter and another welcome addition to the series.
FIFA 11
FIFA 11 made a little bit of history this week when EA Sports revealed the game had become the fastest-selling sports game ever.
The FIFA series is one of the most consistent and best-selling in the industry but even this performance is slightly staggering.
Around 2.6 million copies were sold in North America and Europe in the few days since its release. It is an astounding figure when you consider FIFA releases can be quite similar, and there was the 2010 World Cup edition a few months back.
