I'm Suzabbe! I'm a 28 year-old female gamer, horror and sci-fi lover... I used to be the Manager of IT at my last job, now I'm the Project Administrator for the IT Dept at a software development company. Yes, you guessed it, total Dork Queen, but that's fine with me. I came to that conclusion years ago after a long period of denial. I came to GameSpot in a semi-weird way... if you want to know just check out my UCB. I love survival horror, action-adventure, FPS, RTS and the occasional RPG. My favorites are the Resident Evil and Tomb Raider series and almost anything Star Wars! I've recently picked up on the Silent Hill series and am enjoying that as well. I've been a member of the Gamer Advisory Panel for a few years now (where I get my freebies, demos and betas! Thanks Sony!) I love my PC but if I had to go the console route it would be Sony all the way! I've loved them for as long as I can remember and the PS3 is the ONLY next gen for me despite my PC loyalty to Microsoft! I enjoy writing reviews to share my opinion on games and maybe help someone with a purchasing decision here and there. I enjoy playing around in Illustrator and Photoshop but not to the extent I should! Outside of the electronic world I enjoy swimming and bike riding but am in no way athletic, it's a good day if I stay afloat! I'm an avid Ebayer who sells a lot of good games at low prices and do not believe in "trade-ins"! I don't like Union Invites at all and you can send me a friend request but I only accept them after I've read your profile/reviews/blog posts and find you mildly tolerable! :p

If you're not looking for a FPS game, XBLA is probably your best bet. TMNT and Streets of Rage 2 are good, cheap side scrolling beat 'em ups. Aegis Wing is a nice (and FREE) space shooter. \
Oh, and there's always Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
Kane and Lynch is a nice shooter that starts out a bit disorientating. But that's done deliberately. Wait till you advance in the game. Then pass judgement.
Rainbowsix Vegas has an adictive leveling system. You can precatice and level in the terorist hunt missions to get that new weapon or improve a skill (like sniping) Plus the game feels very differetn in veteran after having played on normal. Normal is more open combat. Veteran is sneeking round corners. GRAW is a challenge. No doubt about it. Army of two plays nice. But the real shooting starts after you've upgaded your weapon. If you play this game. Buy a few weapons you like and upgrade them fully before you start enlarging your collection. An upgraded weapon is much better then a standard one. Gear of War = Bloody .. need I say more.
