Batman Arkham Asylum

Wow. If you've ever wanted to be Batman, this is the game to play. They totally nailed what Batman is about, The World's Greatest Detective. You look for clues, follow "forensic trails", and solve The Riddlers challenges on Arkham Island.

You also get to take on some of Gotham's Most Wanted. From Poision Ivy, Harley Quinn, Bane, Killer Croc and The Scarecrow to the Joker's goons and lunatics at the asylum. The Scarecrow levels were my favorite and can get quite creepy.

This is the perfect Batman game and is easily the best. I've played quite a few of them in the past with Batman for the Sega Genesis, and Batman Returns on the SNES being my favorites before this masterpiece.

Guitar Hero 5

Guitar Hero 5 is pretty much more of the same. The added Avatar support is pretty cool. I had fun rocking with my "Captain Morgan" avatar. The song creation stuff isn't for me but I can see how someone could get caught up in it.

I played through every song in the set list and that is the games big problem. The song selection is horrible. Why is Stevie Wonder(Superstitious) and Wild Cherry(Play That Funky Music) in a GUITAR HERO game? It makes no sense. The best thing to come out of this was Megadeth's Sweating Bullets. I bought the mp3 as soon as I finished playing through that song.

It's worth a rental for a few hundred easy achievements and some good songs(Sublime's What I got), but it's not worth buying if you have previous Guitar Hero games.

Wolfenstein

I'm not a huge Wolfenstein fan. I have only played the SNES version and the XBLA port of the original.

The single player campaign is pretty decent. If you're a huge Wolfenstein fan, you might really enjoy exploring through the game. I couldn't bring myself to finish the campaign, though. It just got a little too boring for me.

The multiplayer is what I was really excited for, so I decided to give it a try. Wow, what a flashback to 1999. Horrible connection issues, lag, and only a few modes to play. There isn't even a Free For All mode. I had to stop playing after a few maps because I have better games to waste my time on. In fact, I would rather have been playing the XBLA port of the original than to continue suffering through this.

Kodu Game Lab

Kodu lets you make your own game levels. It's in the indie games section on the Xbox dashboard. If you've ever wanted to try to make your own games you NEED Kodu!

You create your levels from scratch, give your bots some pretty easy commands, and can have a game running in minutes. You decide if you want a 2-d or 3-d game and can make whatever genre you want.

In the newest update they have added a lot of fixes but the best addition is the Kodu Game Share. You connect to a room and share and download other users games. It's very fun playing the games and they can give you ideas for your own games.

Buy this now! It's only $5.00!

Battlefield 1943

Battlefield 1943 is fantastic! Epic battles with planes flying(and sometimes crashing) right above you, while tanks, jeeps and infantry all try to stop you from taking the flag. I don't like playing capture the flag in COD but I love playing it in BF. There is also an air raid that is really fun to use. I got 8 kills on one drop once.

Flying the planes has a learning curve that can be overcome by playing the tutorial. Then there's Coral Sea, the all plane mode of the game. It can be really fun.....except when your teammates camp at the planes and blow them up or just stand around shooting each other. Pretty lame.

It's definitely worth the $15.00.

Terminator Slavation

I wanted to like this game so much. I read the reviews but reviews and me don't always agree. But trust me this game is horrible. It was fun for the first couple of levels. But that was it. You run into the same enemies over and over.....and over.

The battles with the actual Terminators were frustrating. Die...load.....respawn....die.....load. I gave up.

The achievement points were coming pretty easy but playing through the whole game just wasn't worth it. Terminator Salvation is one of the most painful movie tie in games that I've played lately.

Not worth renting and definitely not worth buying.

Space Invaders Extreme

Space Invaders extreme is kind of like Pac Man Championship Edition. HD graphics of an old school classic with flashy explosions and a techno soundtrack. I love this game! It's hard in an old school way and I can't get the music out of my head.

If you couldn't tell, it's definitely worth the $10.00.
