Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl ($50) is the "fastest-selling video game in Nintendo of America's history" for a reason. It's fun as hell. The third installment of the cartoon fighting game, released for the Wii, features tons of Nintendo characters, along with new superstars like Sonic the Hedgehog, Solid Snake from Metal Gear, and Pit from Kid Icarus. Head-to-head and multiplayer battles remain, plus an original soundtrack from 36 different artists, and new special moves, including a brand-new super attack called Final Smash.
