Gears of War (Limited Collector's Edition)
I can sum up this game in one word. Amazing. This is one of the best Xbox 360 and Xbox Live games I've ever played. The single player is pretty good. I personally enjoyed the storyline, although it is a bit on the short side, there is always co-op and the insane difficulty mode which is as exactly as the difficulty description says: insane. The real star of this game is the online multiplayer. It is very tactical and very fun. Gameplay consists of two squads of five players. One team is the C.O.G. and the other team is the Locusts. There are three different multiplayer modes: Warzone is the standard team deathmatch mode. Execution is like warzone except you have to kill your opponent with a execution move. Assassination is a VIP team game in which you have to protect your leader. There is also a fourth mode called annex which is basically a king of the hill/control mode. This mode is availiable as DLC (of which there are two packs, both free). Excellent game that will provide you with countless hours of multiplayer mayhem.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas (Limited Edition)
Rainbow Six: Vegas is a excellent game for the Xbox 360. The graphics are very good, even though it is an older game. The gameplay is awesome, and very realistic, which is to be expected of a Tom Clancy game. The online play is great, and still has a good amount of people playing it. Keep in mind though, this is a reality based tactical shooter. Run and gun tactics won't work here. The game is very good, and I highly recommend it to fans of tactical shooters, or the Rainbow Six series.

Def Jam: Icon
As a big fan of Def Jam: Vendetta and Def Jam: Fight for New York, I have mixed feelings about Icon. The game takes a little time to learn the control scheme since it has been changed from Fight for New York. The graphics are really good, and there are some great new characters such as T.I. and Lil Jon. The game also features some great environmental interaction as you can slam your opponent into all kinds of objects on each level. There is also online multiplayer, although I haven't really gotten around to that part of the game, I'm sure it's just like the versus mode, only online. Again my main complaint of the game is the controls, which take some getting used to, but once you do, the game becomes a lot more enjoyable.
