Set in the world of a deadly underground bloodsport, “The Club,” is a violent arcade style first-person shooter. Short on story, “The Club” relies heavily on fast-paced, timed action. Players choose from eight different characters, each with their own unique skills and fighting style, and set them loose in a variety of urban environments with a singular agenda: kill or be killed. As the body count piles up, points are assessed for accuracy and “flair.” Definitely NOT recommended for the younger crowd. (Rated M for Mature; 360, PC and PS3)
Experience intense, futuristic battles on the open-world battlefield of “Frontlines: Fuel of War.” Players can choose from one of two fictional nations as they battle for global supremacy in gameplay that combines first-person shooter action with capture-the-flag tactics. While reviews have been critical of the game’s single-player action, it has received high marks for it’s multiplayer mode which is capable of handling up to 50 players at once via Xbox Live or Games for Windows. (Rated M for Mature; 360 and PC)
