10. Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360, PS3)

With its enormous world and incredible parkour-like control scheme, Ubisoft's medieval murderer is a sight to behold. Though some deride the game's repetitive missions, most critics applaud the game's visual flair and unique setting. A killer app, indeed.

9. Gears of War (PC)

Remember me? I'm your favorite Xbox 360 game from last year. And now I'm on the PC, and it turns out I still rock, although you probably didn't notice because you're too busy playing that other big Microsoft shooter over on the 360. *Sigh*

8. Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (PSP) - 87.7%

Sneaking into the month's top 10 is the latest in this shamefully ignored role-playing series. Its cute characters belie deep strategy gameplay, making this a rare PSP sleeper in a season filled with higher-profile titles.

7. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)

From the developers of the great Jak & Daxter series comes a wild ride through an uncharted desert isle (no sign of the Skipper, though). Zippy dialogue, gorgeous graphics and fun action gameplay keep this Indiana Jones-esque adventurer a step ahead of the natives.

6. Crysis (PC)

Gearheads have had their eyes on this prize for a while now thanks to its revolutionary graphics and staggeringly cool engine. Luckily, Crysis has the gameplay to back up its tech. It's the preeminent PC first-person shooter this season and shouldn't be missed - provided you have the horsepower to play it.
