Soul Calibur IV
Xbox 360
"Hrm. My element out of I am. Perhaps all pinball on your exposed buttocks I will go." Okay, Yoda doesn't actually say that, but you know he's thinking it... in Soul Calibur IV anyway.

Battlefield: Bad Company
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Battlefield: Bad Company has you and three military misfit buddies getting tossed to the wolves as disposable manpower. Thankfully, said buddies don't die... but they don't shut up much either.

Top Spin 3
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
If you're a tennis fan, the lack of Rafael Nadal in the Xbox 360 version of Top Spin 3 is probably not enough to make you swap allegiances and become a PlayStation3 loyalist, but it is a stinger. If you're not a tennis fan, Top Spin 3 on either system (and excluding Wii) might make you one.

Wall-E
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Though based on a film from Pixar, the production company that wrote the book on computer generated pathos, Wall-E as a game just can't muster much semblance of similitude, particularly with the "enduring" thing, though it tries admirably.

UEFA Euro 2008
PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Funny how a fanatic can be expected to pay any price for a soccer game. But as UEFA Euro 2008 is basically akin to a single-purpose expansion pack for FIFA soccer, is it so not worth a full $50. Not even close.

Ninja Gaiden II
Xbox 360
If you like your decapitations with a fountainous blood-spurt chaser, your severed limbs to do a little death-throe wiggle, your dismembered torsos to work as projectiles in a pinch, then oh boy, is Ninja Gaiden II for you.

Kung Fu Panda
PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
There's nothing quite like gathering the family together on the couch, firing up the oh-so wholesome Wii and then beating the crap out of all creatures great and small. And cuddly.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360
Swapping Force for Fedora, the plastic fantastic Lego games go grave robbing with some whipsmacking professor named Henry. Mind the snakes.
