Wheelman (Xbox 360)

As good as a ridiculously silly action game starring Vin Diesel deserves to be, which means it is okay.

Tomb Raider: Underworld (Xbox 360)

Fixing some of the issues that made Legend only pretty good, Underworld's focus is entirely on platforming, and it's all the better for it.

Collecting Dust
Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360)

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility (Wii)
