THE GAMES

TITLE: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
RELEASE DATE:  November 11, 2009
GENRE:                       First Person Shooter

NOTES: This may have been the single most anticipated title in the history of gaming.  Never have I seen so much hype.  Coming on the heels of the success of COD 4: Modern Warfare, the bar was set unfathomably high for Infinity Ward.  They deliver in nearly every aspect (minus some glaring plot holes in the campaign).  If you or someone you know has been holding out on this game for some reason,  please do yourself or them a huge favor and get them a copy of this game.  I’m not sure what else I have to say, this broke nearly every entertainment release in sales figures across all mediums.  The title alone speaks for itself.

TITLE:                        Assassin’s Creed II
RELEASE DATE:  November 17, 2009
GENRE:                      Action-Adventure

NOTES: Parkour style movement has become the fad in all action-adventure games these days.  The first iteration of Assassin’s Creed, however, was the first to throw you into a huge, immersive environment and give you unprecedented control and freedom of your character… as he went on a killing spree.  This time around you’ll see a higher level of polish from top to bottom.  More toys, weapons, moves and tricks to aid you in taking out your targets.  Definitely a candidate for Game of the Year.

TITLE:                        Left 4 Dead 2
RELEASE DATE:  November 17, 2009
GENRE:                       First Person Shooter

NOTES: A lot has been made over the quick release of a second title in this series.  While there are those that will tell you more DLC packs should have been released prior to this game, I beg to differ.  The polish on this game far surpasses that of the original.  An addictive game that brings new meaning to co-op play.  There are plenty of new weapons and zombie types to fulfill your fantasy of destroying hordes of flesh eating undead.

TITLE:                        Borderlands
RELEASE DATE:  September 25, 2009
GENRE:                       First Person Shooter

NOTES: With a DLC already out (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned), a good sign for the strong support this title will garner, expect many more to come.  Strong gameplay and customization will leave you with hours of hands on time.  Never has it been more fun to be a mercenary.

TITLE:                          Forza Motorsport 3
RELEASE DATE:   October 27th, 2009
GENRE:                         Racing Simulation

NOTES: This series is the pinnacle of racing in the 360 World.  I can confidently say this is the best racing game I have ever played (and I’ve played through dozens).  A massive collection of cars to race coupled with the most realistic simulation to date make this a must buy for gearheads.

TITLE:                         Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City
RELEASE DATE:   October 29, 2009
GENRE:                        Action-Adventure

NOTES: This will most likely end up being the best bargain of this holiday season.  You will get ’The Lost and Damned’ along with ’The Ballad of Gay Tony’ expansions for the retail price of $39.99 (even cheaper at places like Amazon).  Each title is a stand-alone, with hours of gameplay in the violent playground that is Liberty City.  If you own or have played GTA IV, this is the perfect expansion pack to send you off from the world of Liberty City, as the next GTA (whenever that is) will move on to another locale.

TITLE:                        NBA 2K10
RELEASE DATE:  October 6, 2009
GENRE:                       Basketball Simulation

NOTES: My personal favorite, I highly recommend this to any ballers out there.  Don’t bother with NBA Live, this is the King of the basketball world.  By far the most realistic and immersive basketball experience to hit the consoles.  Signature style, NBA Today and the ease of access to online matchmaking keep this game at the top.

TITLE:                         Dragon Age: Origins
RELEASE DATE:  November 3, 2009
GENRE:                       Role Playing Game

NOTES: Well, Bioware has done it once again.  Known for their impressive RPG’s, they take a step back from space and go back in time to bring you this epic fantasy tale.  With a deep combat system and unforgettable world, you’ll spend hours entrenched in the game.  Multiple play throughs are encouraged giving you some of the best bang for your buck.

TITLE:                        Batman: Arkham Asylum
RELEASE DATE:  August 25, 2009
GENRE:                       Action-Adventure

NOTES: If Assassin’s Creed 2 is candidate 1A for Game of the Year, then Batman: Arkham Asylum would be 1B.  An original story along with a great combat  and predator system make this a title worthy of the Bat mantle.  With the recent announcement of the next Batman game (release date TBA, likely 2011), now is the time to get this game to see what all the hype is about.

TITLE:                        DJ Hero
RELEASE DATE:  October 27, 2009
GENRE:                       Music

NOTES: The next evolution in the rhythm based music genre.  Get on your 1’s and 2’s and be prepared to cut, mix, scratch and break.  All the custom mixes are top notch as they are done by some of the best DJs.
