Four more...

Dead Rising - A relatively good game; it certainly does justice to the genre, but it gets old really, really quick. It's pretty satisfying to beat down some zombie with a baseball bat or run them over with a lawn mower, but after endless hours traipsing back and forth across the enormous and difficult to navigate mega-mall...well, you get tired of it. And saving people...forget it. The AI is horrible. The save system sucks hard as well. If you must play it, rent it.

Gears of War - This game is awesome. Kadath is right, play it with a friend. Hands down one of the better games I've played this year. It's not all that innovative and you won't overwhelmed with new stuff, but it doesn't matter; the game plays that well. If you have a 360 there is absolutely no reason not to have this game. Period.

Superman Returns - Good idea, but man, what a learning curve. "Oh my god! you didn't make the 87 mile journey across town to blow out that fire in less than 2 seconds....tsk tsk tsk..you suck, Supes. Time to penalize you." They give you this amazingly cool city to fly around and pretty tight flight mechanics and not one moment just to cruise around and enjoy them. Not to mention the uber-wooden voice acting of Mr. Routh. You thought he was bad in the movie playing the Man of Steel? Rent this game and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of his marvelous monotone.

Twilight Princess - A very good game. It won't blow you away graphically (even with the better cables and widescreen presentation), but the gameplay will knock your socks off. It's amazing to me that despite 15 some odd years of Zelda games, they're still delivering fantastic games like this. Same old tools of the trade, same Link vs. Gannon to save Zelda storyline, but better with every incarnation. I hear the gamecube version is just as good, but if you can play it on the Wii. So much more satisfying to pull out the Master Sword and smack something with the Wii-mote
