Games of the year etc

It's that time of year again - no, not Southampton FC's annual attempt to throw away a 3-0 lead - when the games of the year are chosen. Today's Technology supplement has picked out the best and worst games of 2006 - Gamesblog will be doing a similar roundup next month - with three games chosen across most formats. As you'd expect the likes of Gears of War, Nintendogs and Company of Heroes get chosen while Superman Returns is the highest profile stinker. I pitched in with what I considered to be the three best current-gen games released in 2006 - Pro Evo 6, Psychonauts and Black - plus I chose Okami and Burning Crusade as two to watch in 2007.

Elsewhere the reviews are in with Cricket 2007, Guitar Hero 2 and Happy Feet all getting three stars, while Aleks talks Second Life and Copybot.
