60. Medal of Honor: Vanguard
PS2/Wii
820K
63%
March/Shooter
EA/EA LA
Matt Richards (GamingTrend): “Still, if you're an avid WWII fan, enjoy FPS games, only own a PS2, don't like Call of Duty, and/or don't mind dropping $40 for around a 7 hour journey with the 82nd Airbourne, this game could be worth picking up.”
 


59. Spectrobes
DS Exclusive
820K
63%
March/RPG
Disney Interactive (the Buena Vista)/Jupiter Corp
D.F. Smith (G4 TV): “Spectrobes is hampered by some downright weird design decisions, and for something you’d think would be aimed at a younger market, it’s confusing enough that even veteran gamers might wonder which button does what.”



58. Pokemon Battle Revolution
Wii Exclusive
850K
53%
June/Action
Nintendo/Genius Sonority
Michael Vreeland (Yahoo! Games): “Pokemon Battle Revolution is a deeply conflicted product - its complete lack of compelling single player content is somewhat mitigated by the impressive production values and multiplayer extensions, but in the end it's hard justifying spending $50 for an extra coat of paint.”
 


57. Hannah Montana: Music Jam
DS Exclusive
890K
60%
November/License
Disney Interactive/Gorilla Games
Matthew Keast (GamesRadar): “There are non-music minigames thrown in, but they’re half-assed and the music minigames, which are semi-Guitar Hero-style, are fun, but there’s no way to access them outside the story.”
 


56. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Wii Exclusive
900K
91%
June/Action
Capcom/Capcom
Kevin VanOrd (GameSpot): “This is the definitive version of a modern classic and a must-play, even if you've already experienced the unique thrill of Resident Evil 4 on another platform.”

 



55. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
PS2/Wii
920K
73%
November/License
Atari/Namco Bandai, Spike
Brandon Lindsey (Gamernode): “It's not a game most fighting game players will enjoy due to the simplicity of combat, but it's the best yet in terms of capturing that special DBZ essence.”
 

 


54. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground
PS2/PS3/Wii/DS/X360
950K
65%
October/Sports
Activision/Neversoft
Chris Roper (IGN): “We've seen all of the good parts from the game multiple, multiple times now, and it really just feels like we're playing a large expansion pack.”

 


53. Football Manager 2008 (Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008 in America)
PC/X360/PSP
1M
86%
October/Sports
SEGA/Sports Interactive
Chris Buxton (PC Gamer UK): “Whatever the case, it's hard to escape the feeling that FM 2008 is treading water - it's still immensely absorbing but there's nothing to grab new converts, and some of the duff stuff is still in there.”
 


52. Motorstorm
PS3 Exclusive
1M
82%
March/Racing
SCE/Evolution Studios
Jim Cordeira (Gaming Age): “While it's not a killer app, the gorgeous visuals, chaotic off-road racing action and 12-player online multiplayer support are definitely worth it.”

 




51. Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s
PS2 Exclusive
1M
69%
July/Other (Music)
Activision/Harmonix
John Benyamine (GameDaily): “As an expansion, Encore performs adequately, with Harmonix delivering more Guitar Hero to the masses. With more effort, however, it could've been the ultimate 80s party game, a disappointing thought, given the average song list and the exorbitant $49.99 price tag.”
