…For the cute - but deadly: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
With his giant eyes and fuzzy ears, Ratchet looks like he could star in a Disney movie – heck, he’s practically a tiger-striped Stitch who’s learned to talk. But together with his endearingly diminutive (usually) robot sidekick Clank, he collects an arsenal that would have Batman, Iron Man, and Marvin the Martian slaughtering each other just for his cast-offs. Then he uses it to atomize about ten thousand bad dudes across the galaxy.
Second option: Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
You should know by now that any little girl who wanders into a dungeon carrying a giant, drill-headed club she shouldn’t even be able to lift is not to be messed with. Buy her damn cookies and get away before she demonstrates to you what “trepanation” means.
For the online commando: Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron
Already one of the most compelling online shooters thanks to light sabers, Jedi, and spacecraft, Renegade Squadron ups the ante with more player customization, more spaceships to fly, another great single-player story, and some weird new 16-player multiplayer modes. You think other games are tough? Try capturing the enemy flag when its “home base” position is mounted to Darth Vader’s back (hint: He’d rather not give it to you).
Second option: SOCOM US Navy SEALs: Tactical Strike
With only four-player support, you might think this is an easier experience – you’d be wrong, as it only takes one highly-trained soldier to place a hot, high-veolocity metal sphere between your eyes.
