Based on there numbers, they published a list of titles any gamer would enjoy having.
We took a gander over the must have video games list and selected a few of the games we thought would be sure hits.

There is a single player campaign and multiplayer, along with two confirmed Zombie storylines. Multiplayer mode is going to feature a new momentum-based movement system where players will get to use thruster packs to alter their movement.
