Medal of Honor: Airborne

Imagine being booted out of a plane at 15,000 feet and having to parachute your way to the ground before you've had a chance to digest that $5 "snack box" you just purchased. No, this isn't Delta's new "no frills" service; it's the latest installment in the Medal of Honor series. While floating toward the ground, you'll have to decide where you land, which subsequently determines which path you take across the battlefield. This gives the game a more organic feel, and it's a clever way to make the stale series feel vital again. Despite the awesome production values—check out the dirt sprays during grenade blasts—the game clocks in at a somewhat brief seven hours later, multiplayer isn't robust enough to keep you playing, and killing Nazis is officially starting to get old.
