BioShock - Xbox 360

Description
Not being the most die-hard FPS fan, I honestly was not sure what to expect with Bioshock. I was shocked (pardon the pun) that I found myself playing this game into the wee hours of the morning the first time I picked it up. This game has a 5 star rating IMO, in spite of it being a 2007 hit, I believe it still remains probably the best, or one of the best games today in the genre.
Graphics are superb, and really draw you into being paranoid with the dark, gloomy environments. coupled with the wonderful immersive sound (I used headphones with my video game chair) You always feel something could jump out at you, and they do that constantly! More than a few times I found myself virtually out of breath running away and/or trying to kill the genetically-modified monsters... The story telling is probably the most interesting I've come across in a long time in a video game. The narrative is told in such a great way, with sound clips you pick up from different items, each part spoken by another character of the unfolding and creepy story. Most games I skip a lot of what would normally be boring storyline but not so with bioshock. It is all very interesting, albeit disturbing beyond imagination... its a book you can't put dow n

Fallout 3 - Xbox 360

Description
Fallout 3, the newest addition to the Fallout game series is a great follow up to 2 of the best retro-future, post-nuclear war style games. Although that was a mouthful to say, I have to say that the description fits. This series, for those unfamilar, is based on an alternate reality of our world that is in the future chronologically, but in the past, culturally. What that means is, that Fallout has been known for its 1950s style environment in a post nuclear war era in the future. Its an odd, twisted environment but a very creative one. The two first games set the series to be a cult-hit and the 3rd by far is the best yet, and bound to take the game out of the cult following and into the mainstream, IMO.

Kung Fu Panda - Xbox 360

Description
I normally loathe any games related to movies. Most of them seem to be a way for the franchise to make an additional quick buck on the popularity of the movie in question and it seems they usually do so in a quick and dirty way with lame game mechanics and generic game plots - sometimes even only loosely related to the movie itself. Thats not the case with Kung Fu Panda.
Ok so maybe they did just want to cash in on their franchise, but fact is, I think they did a pretty good job of it. Not having seen the movie itself, I can't speak for how it follows the story, but I can say that the plot in-game is fun, interesting and has a nice flow to it, keeping you engaged the whole time. The game play itself is relatively typical platformer style but with enough fun moves and character animations, voices and humor to keep it very interesting. Its always fun to listen to the commentary and the narrative in between levels is funny enough to make me listen to the whole thing.
Granted this is NOT your Ninja Gaiden or Halo 3 but definitely a fun game when you're not interested in the intensity that those kinds of games give you.
