The sequel to the title that won last year's BAFTA GAME Award, Modern Warfare 2 was always going to make the shortlist if Infinity Ward delivered as promised – and boy, did they ever!

As a singleplayer experience, Modern Warfare 2 is the flame that burns half as long but five times brighter; a short, but utterly explosive campaign packed with fraught scoped-in shooting, death-defying duck-and-cover bits and jaw-droopingly gorgeous set pieces in battlegrounds the globe over - not to mention THAT airport scene, which wasn't afraid to court controversy in order to raise the kinds of moral questions TV and film have been addressing for years, but videogames have often shied away from.

Co-op fans meanwhile were catered for with the awesome Spec Ops mode, while the award-winning online multiplayer of CoD4 also returned, packed with brand new maps and tweaked to emphasise killstreaks. The upshot was that, for many dedicated FPS fans, this was the year's most complete package.

"There is a major flaw with this game... it's so good it's ruined my enjoyment of other FPS games as they're just not up to scratch compared to COD. The graphics are excellent and more importantly the game engine means there is no slow down in those hectic moments. Without doubt this is the best FPS game on the 360."

"Absolutely brilliant, would recommend to anybody and everybody. Multiplayer is the most addictive thing on Xbox since COD4 I dare say....."

"This is by far the best game I have ever played and im sure the best game ever! I loved the amazing graphics and epic campaign and nothing could compare to the outstanding online play with more things than ever. If you get bored of them then there is an awsome option to do some special operations which are like small missions doing various things like guiding a friend whilst you are in a powerful AC130 (gunner plane). I recomend this to anyone who has any sense in what a good game is! 5/5"
