In terms of gamepads, the XBox 360 controller is as close to perfect as you can buy. Outside of the subpar d-pad, it gets everything right. The size is perfect and it's very comfortable to hold. The cord is surprisingly long and connecting it to a PC is as easy as you can get (plug and play, no installation or drivers required).

What's great about it: Well-built, comfortable to hold, excellent button placement, extra long cord

An excellent old-school style FPS. So much fun to use the leash and execute creative kills. Visually stunning at times. Some great environment design. Enemies are fun to fight, especially bosses. Story isn't much but it gets the job done. Very over-the-top gameplay and story that helps create a very solid game.
My Best Buy number: 056483175
What's great about it: Visuals, good musical score, impressive set-pieces, point system rewards creativity, leash is awesome
What's not so great: A little short, multiplayer feels tacked on.

A disappointing follow-up to the much superior Red Faction: Guerilla. The game looks nice and the weapon variety is solid (love the Magnet gun), but almost everything else is weak. Poor story, far too linear. Progressing through the game felt more like a chore than anything. You're better off playing Guerilla and avoiding Armageddon.
My Best Buy number: 056483175
What's great about it: Strong visuals/audio, good physics system, Magnet gun is lots of fun to use
What's not so great: Poor storyline, linear levels, tedious gameplay, environments are overly dark and dreary
