Hey everyone, here's my next part of the list:
#4 - X-Men Origins Wolverine
I thought this was a very well made game based on the movie. Unlike the movie, this shows off Wolverines bloodthirsty side, and you can chop limbs off and spill tonnes of blood. Suitably gory though, since what else would you expect with blades coming out your knuckles ;) As you could probably tell, its all about the combat, lots of various moves, powers and finishing kills. Its not really about the story even though it does vaguely follow it. The movie is what thats for :)
Gamespot rating - 7/10
My rating - 8.5/10

#3 - SAW
I wanted this game before christmas, but when I saw reviews for it, I became unsure. Thankfully, I ignored them, and SAW turned out to be a great game. I'm a huge fan of the SAW movies, so really, this was a must-buy. It has familiar characters if you've seen SAW 1 & 2, and the story focuses on Detective Tapp, stuck in a booby trapped asylum. Sadly, Danny Glover didn't play the voice in the game, but someone who did return was much more important - Tobin Bell. His voice over the TV monitors, asking you to play a game is seriously creepy, and makes you feel like your in one of the movies. The puzzles are good fun, and at the end of each level is kind of like a boss fight, except its done where you have to save someone in a big trap. If you fail, you get splendidly gory results. This game definitely follows in SAW's footsteps. There are lots of familiar traps from the films, and of course, horrifically violent scenes. The combat is poor, and thats a shame, because this game has a great haunting atmosphere filled with bloody imagery, and Jigsaw's terrifying voice.

#2 - Dark Sector
Haha, I may have tricked a few of you, since a couple may have expected this to be number 1. :P
But anyway, this game is really underrated. I thought it was very good, and it has one of the best weapons in any game I've played - The Glaive. Thats the 4 bladed disc stuck to his hand, which acts basically like a boomerang. You can dismember enemies in great gory fashion, and even turn it into other forms using the resources around you. Fire, Ice electricity. Awesome to be honest! The story is quite good, I've seen better, but this one wasn't bad. But the main focus is on the gameplay anyway, which is a completely brilliant experience full of human panic and screams :twisted:
