    For future reference, post a topic like this in the "Gaming" section. Hopefully a moderator can move this one for you.

    Hm... from your list you appear to like FPS games o.o Try the upcoming Battlefield Bad Company 2.

    If you don't mind RTS games, I highly suggest Company of Heroes + it's expansions and Dawn of War 2

    Most of people suggest Batman Arkham Asylum, how is this game? I have read a little bit about it. And I know there is no multiplayer, maybe I should add it to my GFWL games list.

    You should ! 1st superhero game I've ever enjoyed playing , a little bit on the short side if I'm allowed to say that but everything else is simply picture perfect.

    A must have ;)

    wow, that's a GREAT deal, thanks for the link. Already have Batman, and love it, but now excited to see what else they put on sale.

    Definitely get Batman, and at that price, don't even think twice!

    Batman AA, the only game where you really feel like Batman when you play it. Seriously, you will feel like the Batman so be careful you don't start believing you really are. I can't recommend that game enough and I am on my second play through and enjoying it just as much, if not more because I am so much more controlled and in command of techniques and abilities.
