I'm not sure why you bothered to post this...

Anyway, Ultimate Alliance is very good, if a bit repetitive. The character powers and animations make up for it though. I'd give it a solid 7 on a REAL 10 point scale.

Forza 2 - Great if you love unlta-realism in driving games.

Halo 3 - Must have if you own an Xbox 360, if only for the multiplayer.

Orange Box - Uh, YEAH. Get it. Three great games in one package.

Gears of War - Yep, get it. Its bloody, visceral experience.
