Xbox 360 owners will have the merriest holidays this year with an almost unparalleled season of high-profile, high-quality titles. The games on this list have garnered four B+'s, five A-'s, and one A. I must be hallucinating. This is supposed to be GR, right?

BioShock
|
|
|
| Publisher: 2K Games |
| Genre: First-Person Shooter |
MSRP: $59.99
|
| Underwater cities are usually paradises. But the city of Rapture is far from there. Streets are rampant with genetically altered splicers and debris, with blood running off 1940s neon signs. What an eden for the freedom of capitalism! Surely, I bid you welcome to BioShock. Have a nice day. |

MSRP: $59.99

| Amidst the dying trend of console exclusives, Mass Effect proves just how alive and important they can be. As Commander Shepard, you will embark on an intergalactic adventure that will test your mettle, your ethics, and the naïve belief that games can't be serious and fun. |

| From among the daily crowd - the woman carrying a pot on her head, the robed man preaching Allah, the vigilante standing in the street with his arms crossed - you are hidden. You have no name.

skate.
|
|
|
| Publisher: EA |
| Genre: Sports |
MSRP: $59.99
|
| Admire Tony Hawk all you want, but his arcady franchise has gotten stale lately, especially when compared to skate. Ollieing around San Vanelona is a gnarly trip, a sensation that can only be matched by, you know, real skating. |

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...
