Whatever your take on the fusion of hip-hop and games, Def Jam Fight for NY: The Takeover is an impressive feat. Its deep customizability and visceral biff-bam-pow make it crazy addictive, and it doesn't get old; aside from the story mode, the game also packs in six freestyle match types that can be played alone or against a friend via Wi-Fi. And hey, there's nothing quite like being able to brain your least-favorite hip-hop celebrity with a tire iron and shove him or her through a plate-glass window. That's just awesome.
