Never fear, dear reader(s), I always come back after a while. Real life took priority over gaming (and reviewing by extension), so no, this time was not spent simply writing a Steven Seagal spec script.

Santa Claus gave me an XBox 360 last December. An honest-to-Christ Christmas miracle! I have been indulging in and beating some of the finest the system has to offer:

Dead Rising
Burnout Revenge
Call of Duty 2
" " " 3
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Dead or Alive 4
Gears of War (orgasmic!)
Civil War: A Nation Divided (execrable!)

Which of the above should I review first?
