1.Dead Space 2(360)
Wha t is it? The sequel to survival horror third-person shooter, Dead Space
Release? Late 2010/Early 2011
Why? Dead Space was a shot in the dark(no pun) for EA when they announced the new IP, It took the best elements from other horror shooters and even did things others didn't. It was geniunely creepy and down right fun. I dont think I had a better time playing a single player game in 2008. The sequel will feature returning hero Isaac Clarke with a new,upgraded suit and is set to take place on "The Sprawl." It has also been announced that Dead Space is going to have 'multiplayer'
2.Brink(360)

The action takes place near a floating utopia known as The Ark, where disastrous overcrowding has pushed the population to the brink of civil war. The game allows you to create your own character, and also offers a multiplayer story mode.
Release? Sept 2010
Why? Im a huge FPS fan and the genre is becoming someway stale. Brink looks liek the perfect addition to freshen up the genre. Similar to that of Mirror's Edge, SMART lets players maneuver around environments in dynamic and unique ways all based on player position and immediate need. The story mode which can be played cooperatively online in missions with up to 8 players or by yourself with A.I. partners. Players can create custom characters with additional rewards bought with experience points.

What is it? The fifth title in the Splinter Cell series. Still starring Sam Fisher,this time your a rogue agent in search for your daughters murderer.
