First game you should definitely take a look at Monster Hunter Tribe for the Nintendo Wii. Takes gamers to a world of adventure where they're hunting down enormous creatures, very cool, it's very big in Japan, and now it's made its way state side, definitely recommend you guys checking that out.

Alan Wake due out very soon. It's a psychological thriller game, very intense action, uncovering a story about a small mountain town. Definitely recommend Alan Wake for anyone who's ready for a scare for sure. Another game you guys should definitely check out for the Xbox 360 is Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sins. Prince of Persia is back. It's one of the strongest game [inaudible] of all time. This time around the Prince has all of the elements at his disposal, so he can freeze water, climb up waterfalls, do all kinds of very interesting stuff with the elements of the earth. ^M00:02:00 Definitely worth checking out if you've got an Xbox 360. Now let's go check out what we can look forward to on the PlayStation 3. First game we want you guys to check out on the PlayStation 3 is Red Dead Redemption made by Rockstar games, the people behind Grand Theft Auto. Red Dead Redemption is a western open world game. Think Grand Theft Auto but out in the old west. Next game everyone with a PlayStation 3 should be checking out is Mod Nation Racers, an exclusive game for PlayStation 3 where gamers can create their own players and tracks, race them with friends, and share these tracks online with other gamers around the world.
