Seriously? If you're a gamer you need one of these first and foremost. I'm sorry. I know: money. red ring of death, Microsoft sucks, etc, etc. I know, I know. There, there... Xbox 360 will make it all better. It's the best. New users will need an ethernet bridge for Wifi, an extra wireless controller, the VGA or HDMI cable, and a play and charge kit for the full experience.

Forget the moaning and groaning from Halo 2 fans - this game is rock solid and leaves little to be desired. Think the graphics could be better? They're not photorealistic, but explain yourself, please. This game brings it in spades and when it's connected to Xbox Live is an instant cure for boredom.

Ok, I'm not even going to bother. If you own a Wii and don't have this game then you're either not a gamer or may have a troubled past with a moustache'd (?) man named "Mario."

It feels a lot like God of War and has stellar cut-scenes, graphics, voice acting... it's a bit short and like all PS3 games is more of a renter than a keeper... but someone's gotta buy it so their friends can borrow, right? So pick it up if it's you're only option.

Everything you've ever wanted (minus any form of gun) in a single-player game. Steal whatever you want. Kill whoever you want. Go wherever you want. And it could literally go on forever, it seems, if you so desired it to.

See text for Ghost Recon 2. Play this one first.

Okay, it may seema bit biased that my three games from the racing genre are all off-road, but you know what? They're better games than the on-road ones; at least, at the moment.

No excuses this time! The controls are so easy a four-year-old could do it. So now what? Why aren't you playing Metroid yet?

There's really no one who doesn't love beating the crap out of a virtual human tank. No one I've ever met, at least.

Umm, there's 4 single-player games on this disc. Some of the best ever made. This is a no-brainer even at full MSRP.

Nothing can be said about this masterpiece.

Like Tiger Woods on the console, but minus celebrity endorsements, EA Sports, and super powers. Therefor, slightly better.

There's a PSP one that I need to do some looking into, may be worth buying a PSP (again). Regardless, you can put this sucker in your DS and play one of the best strategy games ever, and you'll be a lucky gamer for doing so.
