Resident Evil 4: If you have never played Resident Evil, 4 is not a bad place to start. I know, because the first one I played was Resident Evil Zero. I remember all of the plot like it was seventeen years ago, in that I don't remember the plot. There were leeches and a giant scorpion somewhere. But Resident Evil 4 was crazy good. They greatly improved the control scheme that had hindered the series, and they took away almost everything that could have kept new gamers out plotwise.
They also won points in Japan by adding tentacles to EVERYTHING.
Metroid Prime: A polished game if ever there was one in the last generation. It put Retro Studios on the map, and turned Metroid into a spectacular First-Person Shooter (or First-Person Adventure if you're a tool). This game really brought the scenery to life, and with the lost transmissions of the Chozo and the Space Pirates, they added a great dimension of mystery to the story. I can also vouch for the second game as being way cool.
Or maybe I just have a thing for games with tentacles.
Call of Duty: Black Ops: I don't get to play much online multiplayer in first-person shooters much anymore, and whenever I try to get into COD, I get wrecked by everyone else in the world. But it is a good, tight game which is based heavily on skill. I really do enjoy the single-player experiences, though. It's rare that a game which gets so well-known for its multiplayer to take so much care for their single-player experiences. Modern Warfare 2 was so good to me that I could get past the bullshit deaths I kept experiencing and try again over and over and over and over and over and over
Left 4 Dead: I loved Left 4 Dead. When I heard about the concept for the game, I was immediately on board. 4 survivors who have to use communication and teamwork to make their way through a zombie-infested wasteland? Amazing. Good job again, Valve. OHMYGAWD IGETTOPLAYASTHEZOMBIES WHAAAAAAAAAT?
Also one of my favorite covers in the business.
