For a few years there it seemed like the SmackDown series was getting stagnant and not really moving forward. That definitely isn't the case with WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2010. There are improvements and additions all over the place, from being able to create your own story to sharing custom characters online to an overall improved gameplay feel, SvR2010 is a big jump from 09. This is, without a doubt, the best wrestling game on the Xbox 360.

Lips: Number One Hits is Microsoft and developer iNiS' follow up to their 2008 karaoke title, Lips. Known as much for having the best microphones on the Xbox 360 as it was for having great party gameplay, Lips was a decently strong contender in the increasingly crowded music/rhythm genre. Number One Hits polishes up the formula a bit to produce a better game, but stumbles when it comes to overall value. Find out all of the details right here.

Whether you grew tired of the Saw franchise four sequels ago or still look forward to each new entry every year, there is no denying that the puzzles and deathtraps that are the trademarks of the series are pretty darn cool. Saw the videogame makes great use of those puzzles and pairs it with the awesomely horrifying atmosphere of the movies and puts you in complete control. Or, at least as much control as Jigsaw wants you to have. Find out all of the details right here in our full review.

I fall pretty much squarely into Brutal Legend's target demographic. I love heavy metal music. I'm a fan of Jack Black. And I still consider developer Double Fine's previous release, Psychonauts, as one of my favorite Xbox games ever. Brutal Legend was basically made for me, so you can imagine my disappointment when the gameplay in between the jokes and general heavy metal awesomeness turned out to only be mediocre. Brutal Legend is a game you'll love on paper, but only like in practice. Find out all of the details right here in our full review.

A little back story - My Dad isn't much of a gamer anymore. He played a bit during the NES and SNES days, but hasn't touched a game controller more than a handful of times since then. It got me thinking, though, about what current Xbox 360 games would I buy for him if I wanted to get him back into gaming. I weighed his interests against how easy it would be to get into each game, and came up with the list. Here are the Top 8 Xbox 360 Games I'd Totally Buy My Dad, and maybe you'd want to buy your Dad as well. The idea is to get them playing something they're already familiar with in the hopes that you can introduce them to more complicated stuff down the line.

What about Mom? How about a Nintendo DS? Worked for me a few years ago!
