This futuristic first-person shooter is so visceral it'll leave you cringing with every impact. The raw processing power of the Xbox 360 ensures that humanity's fight against frothing monstrosities the Locust Horde is delivered in heart-stopping HD and pants-soiling 5.1 surround sound. Melding a tactical combat title's cerebral action with a horror-themed game's flair for the dramatic, it's a heady blend of gore and gray matter.

You're former war hero Marcus Fenix. Tote experimental arms and fight for survival when a genocidal horde of ravening beasts springs from the bowels of the planet. Tag-teaming with friends or computer-controlled allies, only you can save mankind by blowing enemies away in a haze of spurting blood or sawing open their chest cavities using gut-wrenching, close-range attacks. If the Unreal 3 engine-powered special effects don't get your heart racing, well, the thrill of sprinting for a chopper as a stories-tall, insect-like abomination bursts from the ground certainly will.

Designed exclusively for the platform, the game's photorealistic characters and destructible environments, wherein duck-and-cover tactics play an essential role, easily top today's titles in terms of sheer cinematic value.
