    Xbox360 I take it?

    How about Gears of War and Rainbow: 6 Vegas, if you're into the whole shooter thing?

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance looks good.
    I'm enjoying Ninety Nine nights at the moment, very hack and slash - but enjoyable none the less.

    Well I'd suggest Gears of War and CoD3 myself. But out of that list I'm gonna say that CoD2 and PGR3 are the better games - even if they were from launch.

    GoW and Tiger woods 07.

    I've spent so many hours playing the previous versions and after the review Hexus has given it this one should be even better.

    EDIT: If you do decide to go with Fifa RTWC, you can get ithere for only £13.

    I tried the demo for N3, it really had me sucked in, but after joining up with Inpphy my army kinda died and I was left with that Az...what's his name dude. The graphics are stunning, very LOTR like in scale, might pick it up as some point.

    My line up for Xmas are MRVL:UA and GoW

    I would recommend Elder Scrolls : Oblivion. I know its been out a while now and on the PC you need a monster system to see it in all its glory.

    It is very absorbing and you get a good few hours play out of it to say the least. Becomes interesting when you level up and start purchasing houses etc and not forgetting all the guild quests that take you to the op of the guilds.

    Depends on which type of game you are looking for.

    I would say without a doubt one choice will be Gears of war

    After that I would choose any from the following really

    Splinter Cell
    COD 3
    Tiger Woods 07

    I think GOW will be on the list for sure. I'm just about the finish COD2 and am yet to play multiplayer. I find COD2 makes me feel motion sick after about 1 hour of playing so I'm not 100% sure if I will go for COD3.

    Fifa however sounds like a good call.

    edit - just actually ordered Fifa from game for &#163;27.99 so might now be tempted by something else
