DOPE. Great combatives and overall eerie, gloomy atmosphere to the game. All other Batman games are obsolete. Replay value is definitely solid.
BorderlandsBorderlands
Buy new: $52.99 / Used from: $44.98
Trippy comic book graphics (real glossy yet the characters and 'Mad Max-esque' environment look very defined). Violence-a-plenty, and as the commercial advertises, their are about "87 Bazillion guns" to be had. RPG/1st Person Shooter-Hybrid.Great Game.
Dead SpaceDead Space
Buy new: $19.96 / Used from: $15.94
Sci-Fi Horror game in the vein of the Aliens movie series. Simply put, your the hero battling your way thru a Space Station infiltrated by human corpse-turned-to Alien Monsters. Great to look at and creepy soundtrack. The suspense will have your heart pounding, and that my friend, is no cheesy game hype!

Cinematic FPS gameplay that is enhanced with Offline/'Live' co-op. A group of survivors must make their way thru a series of levels battling undead monstrosities. Great replay value(I dont care what they say!)
Call of Duty: World at WarCall of Duty: World at War
Buy new: $54.99 / Used from: $21.99
Easily one of the best Video Game series..ever. Historical accuracy and cinematic storyline and violence is top-notch. If you dont own any-go out and get a copy(any in the series)
Mortal Kombat vs. DC UniverseMortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
Buy new: $28.99 / Used from: $14.93
While not as brutal as a straight-MK game(Marvel wouldn't go for an 'M' rating?)-the game is STILL fun. Storyline involves both universes-and is only interupted to allow the fight to begin(Joker v. Scorpion? Superman v. Kano?). Or pop it in for a straight exhibition with a friend. FUN.
Street Fighter IVStreet Fighter IV
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $14.51
Cheesy Anime environment and music but still great eye candy. Same synopsis as MK v. DC, however more family friendly. All your favorite fighters with some new faces thrown in-Ready? Fight!

If you dont know this series yet-go and ask somebody. The reigning king in video game Football.
NCAA Football 10NCAA Football 10
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $36.46
While the gameplay engine is not as 'loose' as the Madden series-that can not take away from the excellent gameplay of your favorite Division-1 school's franchise/co-op play. Draft your franchise onto the corresponding Madden roster(NCAA 10 will only be compatible with Madden 10). Have Fun! Go USC!!
Gears Of WarGears Of War

Over-the-shoulder 3rd person shooter. The 1st of 2 in this Sci-Fi Action Horror series. Ultra-violent and gritty cinematic style gameplay make this a winner. Highly recommended.
Brutal LegendBrutal Legend

Jack Black voices 'Riggs the Roadie' who is trapped in a Devilish, Heavy Metal-themed underworld. Battle freakish, muscle-headed drones and drive thru roads in his Dragula-esque Hot-Rod. Humorous, adventure for the Metal-Head not wanting to fiddle a toy guitar.
Resident Evil 5Resident Evil 5
Buy new: $36.99 / Used from: $19.40
Latest installment in the Resident Evil series. A fun, captivating adventure game. Further enhanced when joined by a buddy thru co-op playing(your human partner can hear you yell for ammo-an AI can not). Has the classic 'R.E' engine with amazing graphics and a pretty decent storyline-must play!
Need for Speed: ShiftNeed for Speed: Shift
Buy new: $39.99 / Used from: $32.26
The 'Need for Speed' series-A tad more realistic in driving control(sorry, no Mario Kart here buddy!). Practice makes decent, so learn how to control, and you'll have a blast..I promise.
