ASIN: B00006JC48
Medal of Honor Frontline marks the debut of the best-selling and award-winning Medal of Honor franchise on the Microsoft Xboxª. In Frontline, you go behind enemy lines as Lt. Jimmy Patterson. Your missions range from the D-Day assault on Omaha Beach, to surveilance of your Nazi nemesis aboard and atop a speeding armored train, to the epic battle for control of Nijmegen Bridge, a strategic choke point in the Allied drive into the heart of Nazi Germany. It all culminates in a top-secret, high-risk mission to steal the HO-IX flying wing, an experimental Nazi jet fighter so powerful it could turn the tide of World War II.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
by Electronic Arts
Platform: PlayStation2
ASIN: B00006GSNZ
Dear Peter Jackson and company: Please accept this thank-you for making the last couple of weeks feel like Christmas. Your game The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is such an unbelievable treat that we've been playing it nonstop. Every person who has seen the spectacular graphics agrees: whereas others may have created a crappy movie tie-in game, you folks have made a game that captivates and frustrates us in all the right ways. It was especially nice of you to let us play as either Aragorn, Gimli, or (our favorite) Legolas. Having the actors--including Sir Ian!--voice all the battle cries really makes a huge difference. The first time we got to unlock one of the video extras (an interview with Elijah Wood), we thought, "This is as much fun as eating candy." [ more on The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ]
