Viking: Battle for Asgard (360) - I picked this up used at GameStop for about $6.99.  There were multiple copies on the shelf, and at first glance I thought it was gonna be a stinker.  I was so wrong!  It's a great action, hack 'n slash game, and took me completely by surprise.  The in-game world is beautiful and the battles are epic.  I found the final boss fight to be incredibly difficult, though, and have yet to finish it for that reason.

The game was recently released for PCs, too, but since it was made by the developers of the Total War series, I thought it'd be a boring strategy game.

Not in the slightest.  You should give it a shot!  Especially since it's now been released for PC (didn't know that BTW). 

I loved Viking: Battle For Asgard, as well. And anyone that I've talked to that actually played it seemed to enjoy it, as well. I bought it for under $10 at Gamestop. Best of all there is like no loading times, travelling between areas and going from inside to outside is seamless. Criminally underrated game. However, the combat can get a bit repetitive.

Wow, friendly site. Thanks for the welcomes!

Comic books

Which one? I guess spiderman for sure.
Welcome here.

Too many. I've been reading them for years upon years. I pretty much only read DC & Marvel comics with a few licensed titles here or there. But I read a ton of them! Let's see here: Green Lantern, JSA, JLA, Superman, Avengers, Spider-Man, Venom, Marvel Cosmic titles (Quasar, Nova, Warlock, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc.), Star Trek, and plenty of others but those are the top ones for me.

I stand by my statement that Bionic Commando for 360/PS3 is NOT a bad game. I played it all day long when I first got it and enjoyed it quite a bit actually.  Sure some of the story is wtf, and they totally make Spencer look retarded, but gameplay wise I found it very entertaining.

That's what makes me hate it so much. It is fun for the first few areas. Then it suddenly becomes nearly unplayable in it's difficulty. I mean radiation everywhere to the point that you can like never land, you are just constantly swinging while trying to battle enemies and those damn robot/mech things. Those annoying as hell flying orb things drove me insane, too.

The game just draws you in and then smacks the crap out of you.
