    What a dodgy list. You left out WOW and Spore, the top 2 selling games of 08. AND WHERE'S GOTY COD4!? COD5 even? Why are there 360 and PS3 images on a PC list?

    I like playing simpler games which are really enjoyable like Gemsweeper or Arcade Lines from http://www.lobstersoft.com

    Thanks for the reviews guys! :)

    Could I make a suggestion - it'd be great to have system requirements in there somewhere, maybe under specifications? I know they're easy to google, but why not have them with the review?
