Halo: Reach (Xbox 360)

Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360)

I'm playing
Super Mario Strikers (GameCube)
Another souped-up sports outing for the Mario posse that stumbles solo but explodes with friends.
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

Pokemon Diamond / Pearl (DS)
The biggest series in handheld gaming comes to the DS with 3D graphics, plenty of new monsters and the same turn-based battling and exploration that originally made its fortunes.
