Bungie Sends the Halo Franchise Out in Style with Halo: Reach It's a big, deep Halo game on all fronts. With the exception of the AI issues I ran into through-out the campaign, it's one of the most solid and polished games you can play.
Spartans Can’t Drive for Shit There have been a few low points in the campaign so far, but there's been a common factor in each case - some form of motorized vehicle.
I Thoroughly Enjoyed Transformers: War for Cybertron While it may not be perfect, it's pretty damn good, and definitely satisfied my thirst for some retro Transformers action.
Skate 3 is Rad (no but!) While some of the same annoyances from the first game are still present in Skate 3, there are many improvements across the board that make Skate 3 a more solid experience than its predecessors.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I enjoy BF:BC2 multiplayer immensely. And for a guy that doesn't spend much time playing games online, that's saying a lot.

Let’s Not Forget About Halo 3: ODST If you're a fan of the Halo series and enjoy the fictional lore, Halo 3: ODST is a no-brainer.
X’09 – Microsoft’s Holiday Preview Event It was great to get out and get my hands and see some of this year's most anticipated games months before their release.
Need for Speed: Shift is the Bastard Child of Sim Racers NFS: Shift is the best game the series has seen in recent years. But it's not quite as good as other games in the genre.
