Kicking Some A(liens)
Monsters vs. Aliens follows the events in the hit animation movie, and does it better than most movie to game tie-in titles. Plus, the characters are pretty darn cool.
Metallica Rocks Guitar Hero
Although built on the Guitar Hero: World Tour engine, Guitar Hero: Metallica adds some new elements to the game, like the ability to play the drums with two foot pedals, if you dare.

Spyro the dragon is one of the hardest working computer game characters these days. He takes to the skies again with The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
Evil Is Resident, Again
The long awaited Resident Evil 5 is finally here, and despite some questionable AI, comes off as a great sequel to good old number four. It’s a spooky, action-packed hit.

Fresh off of Anniversary, Eidos strikes again with Tomb Raider: Underworld. And this time around, Lara is more realistic than ever. Plus it’s a pretty good game.
A Beautiful Fighter
Street Fighter IV is a marvelous addition to the series, combining stunning visuals, great controls and a host of old favorites and new characters. It’s perhaps the best fighting game ever.
