some examples are:

Star Wars – The Force Unleashed:  a third person, kill everything game where you play (finally) a  sith, Darth Vaders secret apprentice to be exact. You are instructed by the sith lord to hunt down Jedi for the Empire.The first thing you notice about this game is the graphics, they are quite excellent. From the way the back of your cloak ruffles as you walk to the battle scratches on an enemy’s armor, it is all quite awesome. What this game is focused on is the Force powers. I had the most fun I’ve had in ages with the force grip power, and lightning, and saber throw.

Left For Dead: Set in a modern day apocalyptic landscape, where you and 3 other survivors pit yourselves against your friends or the AI, as you fight through levels to escape the apocalypse. In my opinion this game has to be one of my favorites (If u have a chace pick this up right away). A great atmosphere and story,  very believable characters which were extremely well done, and are a great fit for a zombie apocalypse, its 5 maps, which offer competitive and single player zombie killing action. Best of all, you get to kill zombies, now who doesnt like that.  It’s a lot of fun with your mates hanging around to play with you.
