Gears of War is a tactical third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games. Developed using the Unreal Engine 3 technology, it was released for Xbox 360 on November 7, 2006 in select stores in the United States and will be released in major retailers on November 12, 2006. It will be released on November 17, 2006 in Europe outside of Germany, where the game was banned after being denied a rating.

Gears of War centers around protagonist Marcus Fenix, and the conflict between the human inhabitants of planet Sera fighting a subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde. The game is available in both standard and limited editions.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent is the fourth installment in the Splinter Cell series of video games developed and published by Ubisoft. The series, created by American author Tom Clancy, follows the character Sam Fisher, a "Splinter Cell" employed by a black-ops division of the National Security Agency, dubbed Third Echelon. This game offers stealthy, intelligent game play but still offers you an enjoyable third person shooter which will keep you entertained even when you’ve completed the game.

Call of Duty 3 is the name of the latest installment in the Call of Duty video game series. This series of games focuses on the Second World War and offers fantastic realism to first-person environments to put you into perspective of a World War II soldier. You play through various levels completing tasks that don’t always involve a shoot-and-move style. You may have to plant mines in certain positions and then evacuate your faction within a certain time limit. Unlike it’s very successful prequel Call of Duty 2 Big Red One, this game offers quicker reload times and offers easier access to very unique and deadly weaponry.

Nintendo WII

The Wii (pronounced as the word "we") is Nintendo's seventh-generation video game console. Its project code name was Revolution.
The key feature of the Wii console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which may be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions. The console also notably features WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while consuming very little electrical power.





Nintendo Wii Remote:
The Wii Remote is a one-handed controller that uses a combination of accelerometers and infrared detection (in conjunction with the sensor bar) to sense its position in 3D space. This allows users to control the game using physical gestures as well as traditional button presses. The controller connects to the Wii console using Bluetooth, and features force feedback, 4KB non-volatile memory and an internal speaker. The controller can connect to other devices through a port at the base of the controller. Perhaps the most important of these is the Nunchuk unit, which features an accelerometer and a traditional analog stick with two trigger buttons.

The Legend Of Zelda
Twilight Princess:

Twilight Princess is the latest instalment in the Legend of Zelda series. With the new generation of wireless, sensor controllers, this game is extremely immersive and very entertaining.
If you’re out to get a Nintendo Wii, make this a game to consider.

My top rated game out of all games is Gears of War because with the fantastic graphics and immersive gameplay, it's an excellent game to sit down and play.
