I just bought Batman: Arkham Asylum. I cannot put it down. The game reminds me of a mix of Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed. It is very well done and the graphics and voice acting is top notch. The review I read called it this year's Bioshock, which considering Bioshock is a high compliment
Walking around the crazy house that is Arkham Asylum, it definitely reminded me of Bioshock.

Arkham is a pretty freaky place, especially with the Scarecrow making you hallucinate. Just a trivia thing, did you know Gotham City was built on an evil indian burial ground as well as the final resting place of a millenia old sorcerer? Explains a lot, huh?

Wii retail- Wii Sports Resort (high recomendation)
Wiiware- NyxQuest and LiT (both highly recommended, especially NyxQuest)
Wii Virtual Console- Super Metroid (can't believe it took me this long to get it, but it's pretty awesome)
Xbox 360- Dead Space (awesome game if you're a fan of horror)
Xbox Live Arcade- The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (recommended for fans of adventure games) and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (if you love Metroid, you'll love this)
I also just purchased a Microsoft Points card worth 1600 points so I'm prepared to download "Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony" when it comes out next month.
Nintendo DS- The World Ends With You (one of the most unique RPGs I've played in some time, I highly recommend it)

Now it's scribblenauts. The core concept is great, but some of the puzzles are stupid, the controls can be annoying, and it's frustrating trying to figure out when edjectives do anything.
