Video game reviews:
The best of 2008 Next week, gaming's biggest names will gather in Los Angeles for the 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). It is the industry's premier showcase, where these superpowers will lay out their plans for the coming year and beyond. This Christmas will be critical for Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony as they hope to capitalise on a record breaking 2007. Last year's holiday period saw an incredible amount of top quality games released, but, unusually, it wasn't a trend that wavered as we moved into 2008.
Here, we pick up the 25 best games released in the last 6 months, before we once again begin to look forward to a bumper fourth quarter

7. Okami (Wii) Buy Okami
Last year, Okami appeared on the PS2 to critical acclaim but little commercial success. The tale of Japanese sun-god Amaterasu, who controls the elements using her celestial brush was a wonderful piece of work.
The game leant itself perfectly to a Wii remake, and we sincerely hope that more people pick this version up now Okami has found its spiritual home. Presented in a truly beautiful Japanese ink-illustration art style, Okami's game mechanics closest resemble The Legend of Zelda and comfortably rubs shoulders with Nintendo's most revered of series. Divine.
