80. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Wii (other versions came out earlier and are not counted here)
610K

March/Sports
EA/EA Redwood Shores
Robert Workman (GameDaily): “The course selection, respectable number of modes and solid game play make it worth a rental. To the golfing nuts out there, it could even be worthy of a purchase.”



79. Heavenly Sword
PS3 Exclusive
630K
79%
September/Action
SCE/Ninja Theory
Matt Leone (1Up): “For those looking for the next big triple-A action game, Heavenly Sword is close, but not quite there.”
 

 

 

78. Spongebob’s Atlantis Squarepantis
DS/Wii/PS2/GBA
630K
65%
October/License
THQ/THQ
Jack DeVries (IGN): “The single player has some cool parts, and manages to stay at the right difficulty level for the target audience, but it's still clunky and repetitive. The multiplayer is boring because it's not quite designed to work as a multiplayer game.”



77. Crash of the Titans
PS2/PSP/X360/DS/Wii
630K
70%
October/Action
Sierra/Radical
Cameron Lewis (GameSpy): “There's the usual nonsense about Neo Cortex taking over the world, but the different animal personalities are so charming, and the self-referential humor so relentlessly silly, that you're unlikely to cry foul too loudly.”
 


76. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Wii/DS
630K
67%
November/Other (Minigame)
Ubisoft/Ubisoft Paris
Alex Navarro (GameSpot): “The minigames are mostly decent, but few really inspire the same sort of cackling glee that the first game did.”

 

 

 

75. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2
PS2 Exclusive
660K
73%
June/License
Namco Bandai/CyberConnect2
Greg Miller (IGN): “Although there's a list of moves, as long as you memorize your special technique and then alternate between circle, X and square, you're going to win. While the results look good, they feel empty.”
 


74. The Darkness
360/PS3
660K
82%
June/Shooter
2K Games/Starbreeze Studios
Kristan Reed (Eurogamer): “…any fan of first-person shooters needs to play this game, even though the occasional duff level, and the slightly pedestrian AI disrupts the quality at times.”

 


73. NBA 2K8
PS2/PS3/X360
670K
72%
October/Sports
2K Sports/Visual Concepts
Jeff Haynes (IGN): “NBA 2K8 is one of those titles that barely escapes being a mild roster update. As long as you're willing to accept its flaws, you'll find an enjoyable basketball title here for your PS2.”

 


72. Burnout Paradise
X360/PS3
680K
89%
January/Racing
EA/Criterion
Dan Amrich (Official Xbox Magazine): “Burnout Paradise’s online and offline challenges cram in a lot of value and variety. As long as you’re willing to explore the city’s nooks and crannies, drive offensively, and take a hell of a lot of risks, you’ll find it supremely rewarding.”


71. Dirt
360/PS3/PC
690K
83%
June/Racing
Codemasters/Codemasters
Mike Jackson (CVG): “It's an arcade-style rally game with immense variety in cars and courses, it looks incredible (although still has some choppy frame rate dips) and has the most amazing crash physics. Combine the huge single-player career with the online racing and there's loads of racing pleasure to be had.”
