I Want
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)
A beautiful, richly convoluted, sci-fi-tinged romp through the back alleys of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem during the Third Crusade.

Halo Wars (Xbox 360)

Halo fans rejoice! RTS fans grieve!

Prince of Persia (next-gen) (Xbox 360)

I'm playing
Gears of War (Xbox 360)

Master Chief returns to fuel another round of alien-smashing blood-bathery. What are you waiting for? Finish the fight!
Dead or Alive 4 (Xbox 360)

Halo 2 (Xbox)
The sequel to Xbox's biggest game is a multiplayer masterpiece, even if single-player suffers a bit.
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects (Xbox)
We could review this game in one word. And looky there, it's in the game title.
Collecting Dust
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Xbox)
The beach v-ball action is wet and wild, if a bit lacking in depth. But that's not really the point, is it?
