#6 Twisted Metal
Originally intended as a downloadable PSN title, this reboot of the classic vehicular combat series soon grew to gargantuan enough proportions to warrant a full retail release. With original creator David Jaffe at the helm, you can be sure that Twisted Metal will be staying true to its roots, albeit with some sizeable gameplay updates and a brand new look.
You'll enter combat as one of several factions based on characters from the old Twisted Metal games: the Clowns are led by Sweet Tooth, the Dolls by Dollface, the Skulls by Mr. Grimm, and the Preachers by the Preacher. You'll take part in 16-player online battles, attempting to kill your enemies or accomplish objectives in the new game modes. With the help of massively destructible environments, deep customization, and a new co-op mode, Twisted Metal should provide a criminally overlooked genre with a welcome revival.
