There are many good games coming out in time for this holiday season. Here are my top 5 recommendations. They are not in any particular order.

Super Mario Galaxy- If you like Mario or platforming games, get this. If you couldn't tell from the title, you play as Mario in space. You use gravity to your advantage in this game.

(This game is delayed until February. Buy Zack and Wiki instead. I need say no more.) Super Smash Bros. Brawl- If you're a Nintendo fan, you know this series. Get it for online play, a huge selection of characters, and intense fighting action with popular and unpopular Nintendo characters. Did I mention that Solid Snake is in it?

Halo 3- If you love console shooters, this is the game to get. Plus, it's already out.

Bioshock- Get this too if you love console or PC shooters. It's arguably better than Halo 3. This is out now as well.

Metroid Prime 3- If you love games about exploration, or console shooters with great controls, get this game. You don't even need experience with Prime 1 or 2. You just point to shoot. Make sure to turn sensitivity to the highest available in the options menu to get the full experience. This is out as well.

Use my recommendations if you want, and make sure to get the right games for you or someone special this holiday. Or don't get games at all. I'm not making any money off of your purchases...or am I? (Queue maniacal laughter.)
