Best Action Game - Gears of War 2

It's pretty hard to top the first Gears of War, and while GoW 2 doesn't exactly re-write the shooter playbook as dramatically as its predecessor, it does seem to provide the upgrades needed to make it well worth your time. The visuals are easily the best we've seen running on the 360 so far, and the addition of Horde, an extremely fun 5-player co-op mode against armies of bots, makes GoW2 a definite blood-pumper.
