Ghostbusters The Video Game (Xbox 360)

Simultaneously a new Ghostbusters movie and an enjoyable videogame. Rough around the edges, but the superb scripting and unique humor make this a breath of fresh air.

I'm playing
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GameCube)
It's the same Zelda we've been playing since 1998, tweaked and balanced to perfection.
BioShock (PC)
Dive beneath the ocean's surface for a dark masterpiece of gameplay design. Scaring you is just the first of many, many things BioShock does spectacularly right.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Xbox 360)

Spidey is back on track after a pretty lackluster couple of games. Not perfect, but a real good time.

Rise of the Argonauts (Xbox 360)
An action-RPG where the player leads a party through a life of brutal combat in ancient Greece.
Fable II (Xbox 360)

This is role-playing in the child's sense: dress up and pretend. Despite the long load times and clunky inventory screens you can be who you want and have a ...

Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)

Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360)

A unique and enjoyable re-imagining of the First-Person Action Adventure genre, though a little rough in some small bits (also be wary if you suffer from motion sickness).

Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)
The fifth installment to the series arrives promising "a truly next-generation game" and a seamless open-world environment.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Xbox 360)
With Tomb Raider Legend having reminded us why Tomb Raider rocks, it's a fine time to revisit one of Lara's earlier adventures.

Featuring one of the best AI sidekicks around, this new edition of a Persian Prince is a great time, if a little on the easy side.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
Snake's next adventure takes him out of the jungles and corridors he's used to, dropping him into the middle of full-on futuristic battlefields as a mercenary superspy.
Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
It's got looks, it's got brains, it's got a lot of stuff to shoot. It doesn't revolutionize the genre or even introduce much new, but Resistance ...
Collecting Dust
Gears of War (Xbox 360)
When the gears start grinding, the cogs best come strapped ... firepower and tactics collide in Gears of War
Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360)
Battlefield shifts its focus to a single-player experience and the results are thrilling, immersive and just plain fun. Multiplayer's still no slouch, though. Also: tanks!
Prince of Persia Classic - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
One of the best values to be found on Xbox Live Arcade.
Metal Gear Online (PS3)
Test your super-spy killing skills in this online 16-player extravaganza. It's spy vs spy vs 14 other spies.
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

LittleBigPlanet is a game that’s virtually infinite in its content, and the platforming isn’t too bad either. PS3 finally has its killer app.

Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)
The highly-anticipated sequel to the carjack-fest of the century is sure to satisfy all your mob and hooker related fantasy. Okay, maybe not ALL your hooker fantasies.
I Love
