Kill.Switch - I rented this title. It wasn't bad, but the story seemed hollow. I read that a lot of the duck and shoot behind things that are in KS are going to be in 360's Gears of War.

Hitman 2, Contracts- The stealth in the game is about wearing disguises and trying not to get too close to people so they will not notice you. That part of the game was kind of weak for me, and really brought the series down a peg or two. The rest, aka shooting, was pretty solid and the mission objectives were kind of unique.

Alter Echo- I played a demo from THQ, and I thought it sucked. The character design was awful, the color scheme of the game was hideous, and ....that's the only things I remember from the game.

ManHunt- If you played GTA: SA, then the controls on foot for that game is similar to Manhunt, except Manhunt controls better. Can't remember too much more.

I've always wanted to play DotHack, since my impressions of the games are like action-rpgs. I was interested in Siberia, but it looks more like a point N click game than being able to control the character, but I may be wrong.

Only two have I played.

* I-Ninja (PS2) - I really like this game. Lately I've been purging games left and right, but this game I can't get rid of. The main character is a supreme dork and the story is really hokey but the gameplay is great; and there's tons of variety to it. There's fighting and rolling and shooting and, of course, platforming. The platforming is sublime. And the fighting is quite decent. What else is there...? Oh yeah, combos, upgrades, weapons, magic, special-moves and powers, humor... and really neat boss fights.

* Haven - Is a b**ch. Of course, you and I are on opposite sides of the skill spectrum, so you might like it. I'd put it up there with the other uber-difficult adventure/platformers Maximo and Jak II. So, needless to say, I didn't get very far in it. But from what I did play I thought it was a pretty solid game, and were it not for the difficulty, and subsequent frustration, I'd call it worthwhile.
