SOCOM: US Navy SEALs: Tactical Strike
The SOCOM series has gained notoriety not only for having game titles as long as some term papers, but also for producing quality shooters in modern settings. It's not much of a stretch, then, that the franchise would wade into the squad-based tactical shooter arena as they have with Tactical Strike. Luckily for fans of the series, this first entry is a worthy enjoyable first foray into the genre.
Monster Hunter Freedom 2
"Once you get a grip on how to kill and not be killed, the flood gates will open for you. Monster Hunter Freedom 2 has more content than you will ever know what to do with. There are no experience levels in Monster Hunter, and your primary means of advancement are through improving your gear by crafting materials obtained from downed foes, the environment, mining, farming, or fishing."
Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command
Whether you're new to the Warhammer 40k universe or a hardcore vet, you owe it to yourself to check out Squad Command. This turn-based strategy game is a great addition to the franchise and should tide you over until the inevitable release of Dawn of War 2.
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology
"Honestly, Radiant Mythology does absolutely nothing new--especially if you've played Tales games before--but I found myself having a lot of fun hacking and slashing away through beautiful dungeons. Also, the story is more than serviceable, thanks to the new characters and the fun of crossover characters. RPG fans who have been looking for something to take on the road should definitely try out Radiant Mythology."
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron
"The Battlefront games can quickly be summed up as a beefy Battlefield 1942 mod with a coat of Star Wars paint over the battlefields of Europe. Unique to the Battlefront games are the space battles, which pit two opposing fleets against each other and offer much TIE fighter vs. X-wing goodness."
