Gears of War 2

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from Steve from Dayt, www.circuitcity.com
it has all of the great gameplay and action and none of the annoying little bugs.
from J, www.circuitcity.com
over-the-top action, addicting multiplayer, and a terrific campaign.
from 0==[]zzzkonceptzzz>, www.newegg.com
but for a game like this it's always too short for anyone.parts of the game you haveto kill everything within the area or do something specific to unlock futher action.
from www.amazon.com
the action in this game is intense and unyielding.
from Steve, www.newegg.com
it's easily followable and just cuts straight into the action (with a little twist at the very very end).

Resident Evil 5

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

it was as perfect a game as i've seen recently, with amazing pacing, the perfect meaty length, intense action sequences and enough horror to still call it a horror game.

sound/music: the music in the game is pretty good but it's either barely there or it'll show up when things get all action-y but you're so wrapped in the action you might not even notice but when it

Pure for Xbox 360

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my older son was a little miffed about the actions of the game when one rider hits another...some hand gestures...but its a punch gesture and so he got over it when he saw it clearly.
from www.amazon.com
let me tell you i am not even a fan of racing game, or this genre of game, but i highly enjoy and recommend this game to anyone who likes fast pace action or driving.
from www.amazon.com
on my 50" lcd it creates a real sense of height and adrenaline pumping action.
from www.amazon.com
you are rewarded for performing risky actions that contribute to your winning the race, the pure system ultimately drags on the action and makes race format events feel conflicted and confusing.
from www.amazon.com
pure is an excellent game for those who love racing with a lot of action.

Brothers in Arms: Hell''s Highway

$26.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
right when something like this happens, the game will slow down and zoom in on the, ahem, action.
from www.amazon.com
fun game with lots of action.
from www.amazon.com
great blend of fps & squad based action seperates this game from the tired genre.

Unreal Tournament 2007

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
some notes about the game itself: you can play deathmatch, capture the flag, and some other modes like that in single-player "instant action" against bots, like the original unreal.
from www.amazon.com
fast, furious action that is best played with 15 other victims (ur...online players).
from www.amazon.com
unreal tournament is an online multiplayer shooter that serves up over-the-top graphics with non-stop action.
from www.amazon.com
no more tactical sorts of slow moving action or rechargeable shields.
from www.amazon.com
i really like the taunts that your character can say to keep the action going.

Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
while bad company does not push the shooter genre in any new ways, it is a fun game with good, fun action and some well done humor.
from www.amazon.com
in one way it puts you back into the action all the sooner, in another it really cheapens the value of a life.
from TylerVollan, www.newegg.com
large selection of weps and other gadgets, funny and action-full story mode, fun vehicals, not a bad ending if i do say so myself - play it for yourself, no spoilers here...
from www.amazon.com
i thought this game was boring at times and needed more action.
from www.amazon.com
i don't think one needs to have all the reality action to have fun.

UFC 2009 Undisputed

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's best to run through the tutorial or else easy actions like getting up and taking someone down will leave you clueless.
from www.amazon.com
basically, everything is done on a weekly basis and most physical actions take a certain amount of stamina away.

Tales Of Vesperia

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
if you only want action, stay away from this game (though i'm not sure why you would be looking at an rpg in the first place).
from www.amazon.com
tales of vesperia is the newest tales game in bandai-namco's long running series of action rpgs.
from www.amazon.com
every aspect of it is enjoyable, from the fast action combat to the beautiful graphics to the great characters and surprisingly great voice acting (no whiny main characters here!).
from www.amazon.com
if you played symphonia or other tales games, it is action based where you get into battles and you fight in a straight line with your target enemy.
from www.amazon.com
that past tales games suffered from in favor of deeply interesting moral conundrums - a rather daring move, since many players will undoubtedly disagree with the actions of the main character(s).

Halo Wars

$55.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the gameplay is fast and arcadey - it's technically an rts, but i tell people to think of it as an action game with resource and unit management.
from www.amazon.com
the population limit is pretty low (50, i think) but it doesn't detract from the action within the game.
from www.amazon.com
for core fans of the rts genre, however, halo wars may feel a little too action oriented.
from www.amazon.com
the controls are great, and there is still the action of halo, with a strategic twist.
from www.amazon.com
that means there's a lot of action occurring simultaneously on your screen with many characters, vehicles, and explosions.

after a second, sometimes two, the action resumes where it left off, almost like i paused the game!
