Getting a little newer with this weeks GTTBYD this week. I have always enjoyed a thrilling game that keeps you on your toes. Silent Hill and the Resident Evil series are like that! This game came out VERY early in the Xbox 360 life span, and is considered 'not that good' of a game. Give it a break though, it was a launch title!

What: The game begins with the protagonist, SCU agent Ethan Thomas, arriving at the scene of a murder. He and his fellow officers go into an abandoned building that is surrounded by psychopaths and criminals. The crime scene they investigate is one of a young woman. She is on the floor with strangulation wounds, sitting across a table from a male mannequin. Ethan, along with his colleagues, agree that the murder was most likely committed by the Match Maker, a serial killer that Ethan has been investigating. After they collect evidence from the scene, one of the officers smells cigarette smoke. Believing that the smoke must be coming from their suspect, they decide to split up and go after him. While searching for the suspect, Ethan tries to restore power from an electrical box. Due to an electrical surge, Ethan is shocked, and drops to the floor, causing his weapon to be thrown from his hand. A man hiding in the shadows takes it and flees. Ethan manages to chase the man into a small, dead-end room, where the man holds Ethan at gunpoint and tells him they have similar goals. Ethan's colleagues enter the room and tell the man to drop his weapon, and are promptly shot by the man with Ethan's gun, who then shoves Ethan out a window onto the street. (Cited from Wikipedia)

Why: What was really unique about this game was that it's considered a FPS (First Person Shooter), but there really isn't much gun play involved in this game. It focuses more on the melee combat, using items found and killing enemies with them. One of my favorite things to do is shove someones head into a working television set and killing them that way. Whatever melee weapons that you have also deteriorate after time, giving it a more realistic vibe to the game.

Besides game play, this was a game that was still considered a survival horror before it basically became an 'Action Genre.' This game was really creepy! Seeing your enemies emerge from the shadows always gave you a jump and the environments were something that made you want to turn the lights on in the room.

You can find this game for dirt cheap these days. Remember, it's a launch title, so don't expect the greatest game of all time out of it.
