A huge leap from Saints Row, massive upgrade and hugely impressive. This gets the Saints Row series much closer to it's GTA competitors.
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3)

Personally I found this to be a let down. Graphics: 10/10, Gameplay: 10/10, Storyline: 9/10, Controls: 9/10, Fun: 6/10. It bored me, but an amazing creation nonetheless.

One of the few games to get 10/10 from almost every gaming mag out there. Simply amazing game, and fantastic to see a new way of getting rid of the old HUD!
Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360)Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £10.66 / Used from: £14.79

Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360)Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £9.85 / Used from: £5.41
The XBox 360's first DMC game is one hell of a rollercoaster. I still haven't completed it, a bit stuck haha. Anyway, not on par with DMC 1 or 3, but nowhere near as awful as DMC 2. Worth your money!
Race Driver: GRID (Xbox 360)Race Driver: GRID (Xbox 360)
