(360, PS3, $60, Mature) — The lack of an NFL license actually benefits Midway's over-the-top football farce, which is nearly as enjoyable as the series was in its late-1990s arcade heyday.

The game is filled with dirty players, elaborate celebrations and off-the-field shenanigans — exactly the type of stuff the NFL likes to sweep underneath the FieldTurf.

Late hits abound in the frenetic onfield action, and occasionally during tackles time freezes so you can aim for specific body parts to injure. It's sadistic yet satisfying. Online play is there, as are a series of minigames, but the meat of the game is the campaign mode, which lets you guide a star player through endorsements, triumphs, setbacks and, of course, girlfriends.

You rack up money and prestige as you go, weighing whether to value your star's well-being over that of the team.

(360, $60, Mature) — A genre-melding near masterpiece, "Fable II" lets you live the life through the eyes of a hero who starts out as a young street scamp and evolves into . . . whatever you choose.

The realm of possibilities in the fantasy world is tantalizing. You could become a do-gooder real estate mogul or a Robin Hood figure who robs from the rich and helps out the poor. Or you can be a vile megalomaniac who seizes power with violence and intimidation. You can get married, have children, cheat on that wife, be cheated on, or visit a friend's world online to cause mayhem. Your actions — and inactions — shape not only who you become, but the world around you.

All along, you've got a helpful dog in tow, digging up treasures and helping you fend off enemies.

"Fable II" is set in a vast world, with loads of hidden treasures to unearth. A virtual "bread crumb trail" that works like a GPS system helps point you in the right direction, but most of the game's fun comes in veering off course just to mess around. "Fable" lets you feel freedom to do whatever you like.

(360, PS3, $60, Mature,) — Some of the most riveting first few hours I've ever spent with a game came with "Fallout 3," the sprawling, psyche-shaking first-person role-playing title set in a world ravaged by nuclear war.

You start off as your character is born inside a fallout shelter. You select your gender and how you want your character to look, and the image is displayed as a computer estimation of how you will look like when you're grown. You then play through childhood vignettes, including your 10th birthday party, when you learn how to shoot a BB gun, and age 16, when you confront bullies and take an aptitude test that will determine your profession.

Finally you escape the shelter in search of your father and are off on a long, involved voyage that tests not only your combat skills but moral rectitude. You travel between settlements, either helping others with their problems or creating more from them. Epic in scale, "Fallout 3" provides countless weeks of intrigue. Even after playing several hours I feel as though I've barely scratched the surface.

(360, PS3, $60, Mature) — Blending the sensibilities of a first-person shooter like "Call of Duty" with the open-world mayhem of "Grand Theft Auto," "Far Cry 2" sends you to war-torn Africa, where you can play one faction against another, form allegiances with mercenaries you meet along the way and scrounge up bags of diamonds to help you buy better weapons.

The game is set in a sprawling world, with winding roads that instill ever-present fears of an ambush. Well-founded fears, as well. Your opponents come at you with brutal and clever tactics, and in many fire fight it's all you can do to keep your wits about you as you scamper away to cover, hoping you aren't cut down by a hail of bullets.

Some may find the nature of the game too hard-core and unforgiving, but shooter lovers will find themselves in a hellish version of heaven. Online battles are deep and varied, and a map level designing tool lets you create, upload and download new theaters of war.

FIFA Soccer 09

(360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP, $30-$60, Everyone) — Each year the "FIFA" franchise inches closer toward capturing the chaotic nuances of the game. By now the gameplay has evolved to a point where you feel as though you're really making your little guys kick a little ball around on the field, rather than facilitating tractor-beam-like passes and shots.

If you're more of a hands-off player you can spend your time in manager mode, taking control of your favorite club — nearly every high-profile squad in the world is in the game — and manipulating salaries, transfers and lineups in hopes of building a contender.

The 360 version, as usual, is the flagship game, but the game also sparkles on Wii, with smooth online play, which is all too rare in Wii games in general.

(360, PS3, $60, Teen) — An open world in the vein of "Burnout Paradise," "Midnight Club" lets you speed through a convincing replica of L.A.

As an underground street racer, you challenge opponents on the fly, scoot over to preselected racing hubs and upgrade your car and buy new rides.

You can even make your own races by driving through the streets in whatever crazy path you choose, placing checkpoints with the click of a button along the way.

Cars handle spectacularly well, driving with the feel of "Grand Theft Auto IV." The online integration is superb, allowing you to meet random strangers as you drive by, setting up impromptu challenges. You can also upload virtual photo albums and sell customized vehicles.
