10. No One Lives Forever - 2000

It's true, no-one lives forever - but if you make a big impression, people tend not to forget about you. So it was with wonder spy Cate Archer - the Liz Hurley-like star of No One Lives Forever. With its tongue wedged firmly in its cheek, NOLF owed more to Austin Powers than to James Bond. Your arsenal included lethal perfumes, exploding lipsticks, and a robotic poodle that could seduce guard dogs, but the game had other tricks up its sleeve too - notably an AI system that allowed enemies to hear your movements. At the time, this seemed pretty darn impressive. Technology has moved on, but NOLF's pithy script and sharp humour has leant the game a certain timeless quality.

9. Company of Heroes - 2006

The real-time strategy genre isn't for everyone, but that hasn't stopped Relic from having a jolly good go at making it so. Company of Heroes, set during World War II, is easily one of the greatest RTS games of all time. It's simple to grasp and easy to use - two qualities the genre isn't well known for. The lack of resource gathering might put off some hardcore fans, but everyone else will be too busy marvelling at the game's stupendous brilliance to care. The explosions are spectacular, the action is fast and frantic, and there's never a dull moment. The RTS for non-RTS players.
