You've got about 60 hours before reporting to work on Monday. Spend them wisely with these Maxim-approved video games.
Prototype (PS3, Xbox 360)
Publisher: Activision
Amnesiac Alex Mercer wakes up dumbfounded by his ability to take the shape of anything around him. You, on the other hand, are an evil bastard and will use said powers to kill New Yorkers and find out why a virus is infecting the area.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii)
Publisher: EA Sports
The man who single-leggedly defeated his competition last year returns in the series' latest iteration. The biggest changes are dynamic weather changes (if it's raining at a specific location in real-life, you'll play a rainy round of golf) and the ability to finally play the U.S. Open. The Wii version will have full use of the Wii Motion Plus, which means breakable objects adorning your pad have a 36 percent better chance at surviving.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game (DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii)
Publisher: Atari
If busting makes you feel good, then you're going to have one helluva smile on your face next week when this game finally makes it out into the wilderness. In development for what has seemed forever, Ghosbusters brings together all of the characters from the movie franchise, minus Rick Moranis who has opted to swim in the Money Bin he's built from his Honey, I Shrunk the Kid residual checks. The PS3 version features two snazzy behind-the-scenes videos showing the creation of the game and the refurbishment of the classic Ecto-1 car (called Ecto-1B in the game).
Virtua Tennis 2009 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)
Publisher: Sega
The Super Bowl of tennis, Wimbledon, gets going on June 22, but you don't have to wait until then to get your fix of furry balls and grunting women. The No. 1 tennis game returns with a revised roster, sharper graphics, and a whole slew of new minigames to keep you fistpumping throughout the 2009 tour season.
