Soulcalibur IV

Genre: 3-D fighting

Something Like: D.O.A. with swords (and more clothes)

Rundown: Even with the most pretentious announcer in the biz, this is still the best brawler around. Plus the tight controls make it easy to pull off killer moves. New this year is a playable Yoda (360 only) and Darth Vader (PS3 only), plus sweet online modes.
