I Want
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

Little is known about this just announced Zelda game, though rumors say that it will focus on Link's sword (that's not a euphemism).

I'm playing
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (PS3)

A spinoff sequel to Assassin's Creed II that will star Ezio as he leads the order of Assassins to conquer Rome.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PS3)
The fourth Elder Scrolls entry is utterly brilliant and should not be missed by any adventure-spirited gamer.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
A hell of a lot of fun, even when the cops are chasing you around town.
I've Beaten
Okami (Wii)
Despite its gorgeous updated visuals, the otherwise great Okami fumbles with its awkward implementation of the Wii controls.
Gears of War (Xbox 360)
When the gears start grinding, the cogs best come strapped ... firepower and tactics collide in Gears of War
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
This Wind Waker sequel spells success on the high seas with a DS stylus. Goodbye end-of-the-world plot device and hello good times in (sorta) tough dungeons.
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gaming comes to the DS with 3D graphics, plenty of new monsters and the same turn-based battling and exploration that originally made its fortunes.
No More Heroes (Wii)
This action-driven, lightsaber-whirling game steals liberally from the best of other genres. Even with its less-than-perfect presentation, it works wonderfully on the Wii.
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 ...

Collecting Dust
Unsolved Crimes (DS)

Has some nice puzzles and a good story, but a bit too easy for most.

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.
Afro Samurai (Xbox 360)

Its cute, bloody gimmicks are fun at first, but can't mask a repetitive action title and its many quality control issues.

Retro Game Challenge (DS)
An inventive collection of brand new old games that will charm every old school gamer.
Viva Pinata (Xbox 360)
Living pinatas ... yes, pinatas. And they're alive. But with the power of a TV show behind it, could everybody crave candy this holiday?
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.
I Love
Okami (Wii)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Virtual Console (Wii)
This was a near perfect game in 1998, worthy of the highest praise. But today, after the advancements of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Ocarina feels like a stepping stone.
