I Want
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.
Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

Treyarch ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII and the Pacific theatre of war. World at War has extremely brutal gunplay and amazing online multiplayer and co-op modes ...

Scribblenauts (DS)

While there are a few puzzles with satisfyingly original solutions, the freedom to write anything you want is outweighed by the limitations of the core mechanic and the lousy controls.

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 ...

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Shivering Isles (Xbox 360)
This 30-hour campaign is the first proper expansion pack for the enormo-adventure, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and a must-play for anyone, even if you didn't finish the main ...
Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360)

An incredibly tense multiplayer experience like no other. A must buy for shooter fans.

I'm playing
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360)

This third-person action game takes Batman inside the iconic, ultra-creepy Arkham Asylum, and this stellar release raises the bar quite high for all future comic book games.

The Darkness (Xbox 360)
Like Chronicles of Riddick, this combines thoughtful, personality-driven adventure with some of the most vicious first-person killing ever seen in a game.
Fallout 3 (Xbox 360)
The freedom may scare people used to more linear shooters and the simplified customization might disappoint hardcore RPGers, but if ever a game was worth broadening your horizons for, this ...
I've Beaten
Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

While fixing the tiny problems of Gears, the sequel gives you all you wanted and more, occasionally feeling like too much more. Still this is the explosive bloodfest you've ...

The Orange Box (Xbox 360)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
The fourth Elder Scrolls entry is utterly brilliant and should not be missed by any adventure-spirited gamer.
Okami (PS2)
An engrossing adventure every bit as good as the best Zelda games. Its visual style, gameplay and humor make it an absolute must-have.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360)
We're still not sure what war this is and the solo campaign could have been longer; but it's the same Call of Duty that we all know and ...
Mass Effect (Xbox 360)
Graphics are sharp and the story is one worth multiple plays - even if it only has one ending. This RPG/Shooter gives an actual sense of space exploration.
Collecting Dust
Crackdown (Xbox 360)
Take control of a futuristic vigilante and rid your city of the criminal element. With guns, explosives, stunt cars and superhuman powers, "by any means necessary" should be implied.
