Left 4 Dead 2 dumps 4 new survivors into the zombie invested New Orleans. Team up with these complete strangers, pick up your rifle, chain saws, baseball bats and frying pans and run off to safety. With more game modes this time, you get to see things in the zombies perspective.

God of War 3 will end Kratos's strife, but before you play the grand finale, you should go through the hell once again and experience the horror with new eyes. With graphics upgraded to Blu-Ray Disc quality and PlayStation Network Trophy Support system, the God of War Collection will update your memory.

Get yourself out of hell and to the place closest to heaven in Assassin's Creed II. Visit Italy in the 1500 where Leonardo Da Vinci and Botticelli reigned the art worlds. Avenge your family and join the ranks of the Assassin, with the many daggers and rapiers, you are off to kill some historical people.
