MGS4 is a must-have. For you other game I'd go with Uncharted or Killzone 2. You'd be best off choosing from those last based on genre preference.

My new and improved gaming setup
Having moved into a swanky new apartment a couple of weeks ago I decided the gaming setup needed some tweaking. The result of which is shown in the image below.That's a 32" 1080p Samsung LCD with all of the current consoles hooked up. Some PS3 games under the TV and the orange crate contains about 30 Xbox 360 games The rest of my 250-ish strong collection is in some drawers in another part of the apartment, with some older games (Mega Drive etc.) remaining at my parents' house for now.What kind of setups are you guys rocking?

added a review of Space Invaders Extreme
8-bit meets HD in a remade classic
Space Invaders Extreme was originally released on the PSP and DS in 2008 to mark the 30th anniversary of the arcade classic and it quickly found its niche as a superb pick-up-and-play action title for the portable systems. Taito has breathed new life into the game this year by hiring emulation specialists Backbone Entertainment to give it a fresh coat of HD paint for Xbox Live Arcade. "A familiar look and sound" The look of the game closely resembles other high intensity games on XBLA, such as Rez HD, Geometry Wars and Every Extend Extra Extreme. Space Invaders makes itself ...

A year or two ago when the Metal Gear Solid movie was announced I made an extensive list of casting ideas (which was read out on GameSpot's HotSpot podcast by Jeff when he was still there). So, I figured I'd have a go at Uncharted casting ideas as well. Below you'll see the characters names with the actors I think would be a good fit listed underneath.
Nathan Drake
Matthew Fox
Elana Fisher
Scarlett Johannson
Victor "Sully" Sullivan
Pierce Brosnan (look at him in The Matador - a perfect fit!)
Gabriel Roman
Alan Rickman
Atoq Navarro
A relatively new/unknown actor
Eddie Raja
