Battlefield Bad Company

Already having mastered the multiplayer first-person shooter with the award winning Battlefield series of games, developer DICE have turned their creative efforts to producing a top-notch single player experience as well.

Battlefield Bad Company details a war between the US and the fictional Russian Federation country of Serdaristan. Playing as one of five soldier classes (assault, demotions, recon, specialist and support), you and your squad of three other teammates run and gun your way through a dramatic storyline to put an end to the nefarious plans of a group of renegade soldiers.

Grand Theft Auto IV

The award winning Grand Theft Auto series finds its way to the new generation of consoles to spectacular results. Featuring state-of-the-art graphics and painstaking attention to detail, the setting of Liberty City has never been this much fun - or as rewarding - to explore on its own.

And within this amazing city, GTAIV focuses on the story of recent immigrant Niko Bellic. Arriving from an unspecified eastern European country for a better life, Niko’s pursuit of the American dream is put on hold when his cousin gets him caught up with the seedy, crime-ridden underbelly of Liberty City.

Ninja Gaiden II

Ryu Hayabusa is a ninja, and a particularly good one at that. When the CIA operative who’s come to visit the renown martial artist is kidnapped, Ryu does what any self-respecting ninja would do: give chase. The catch here is that the chase takes him all over the world and pits him against a horde of demonic soldiers and monsters.

A sequel to the excellent ninja-action game Ninja Gaiden on Xbox, the move to the Xbox 360 has afforded a massive jump in visual detail. But it’s the gameplay that’s the real winner here: easy to pick up and play yet challenging to master, Ninja Gaiden II offers a thrilling action fighter.

Race Driver: GRID

Race Driver: GRID is developer Codemasters’ new generation follow-up to its V8 Supercars series (also known as TOCA Race Driver in the UK). And while it lacks the local angle (sadly, no Bathurst in this one), there’s still plenty to see and do in this world-spanning racing game.

While there are plenty of single races, championship and time-trial drives to be taken, the central experience of GRID revolves around the comprehensive career mode. Here, you start as a newcomer and must win fan and sponsor support to conquer the racing world.

With new high-definition graphics, gorgeous tracks and a huge selection of cars to race in, GRID is a worthy successor to a venerable series.
