-For Holiday 2008-
Let's start with the best and work our way down...Shall we?

1. Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion (My Score: 9.5)

It's simply an all around amazing game. I've spent well over 300 hours in this fantastical world and still haven't completed everything there is to do. I doubt anything will top this game for years to come. A must own! (And if you do manage to finish everything, there's plenty of DLC just waiting to consume the little bit of life you have left.)

2. Fallout 3 (My Score: 9.0)

Made by the same people who did Oblivion. It's set in a massive, post apocalyptic world where you can blow people's heads off at point blank range. You can even fire lawn mower blades from a weapon! Go get it! (Also, plenty of DLC!)

3. Gears Of War 2 (My Score: 9.0)

This game is made from pure testosterone. No one should be able to play this and not feel the urge to tear someone apart. Much more refined than the first one. Chainsaws FTW! (DLC makes the multiplayer much better for this one.)

4. Left 4 Dead (My Score: 9.0)

This game has already set a new standard for the horror game genre in my opinion. It's fast paced and will keep you wanting more. It never has the same playthrough twice and the replay value is killer. Pun intended. Simply terrifying. Way better when played with friends! Another title every gamer should own a copy of.

5. Fable II (My Score: 9.0)

This game is a bit short, but super fun. It's got a really nice comedic value that will keep you entertained throughout. It's a great break from more realistic RPGs like Oblivion. (DLC available, as well.)

6. Dead Space (My Score: 9.0)

I cannot play this game alone. Tried to once...with headphones. Didn't sleep for three days. Honestly, a scary game. Which is rare. Go buy it. And grab a new matress on the way home. You'll need it.

7. Spider-Man: Web Of Shadows (My Score: 8.5)

Not the greatest game ever made, but it is the greatest Spider-Man game ever made. It's got a lot of cool features that make the replay value tremendous. Free roaming in this game is unmatched for it's genre. Good to play when you're frustrated with, or tired of FPSs and RPGs.

8. Call Of Duty 4 (My Score: 9.5)

Everyone should already know how amazing this title is. I didn't care for any of the previous Call of Duty games, but this one truly revolutionized the way FPSs should be made and played. Hats off to the Infinity Ward. Now, stop reading this and go buy it!

9. Soul Calibur IV (My Score: 9.0)

One of my favorite fighting game franchises. They really stepped it up with this one. It's graphically inclined and the Create-A-Player will blow you away. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but I enjoy this game to no end. Great replay value. Definately a buyer.

10. Far Cry 2 (My Score: 6.5)

Wasn't as impressed with this game as I'd hoped, but I still like it a lot. It's visually stunning and I like some of the new things they are trying. Keep it up guys. Maybe you'll be higher on the list next time. I'd rent this game before buying it.
