My next obsession comes out in just under a month. Developed by People Can Fly (Painkiller, Gears of War 2 PC), a small Polish team that impressed Epic Games so much with Painkiller they bought them outright and handed the port of Gears of War 2 to them, Bulletstorm is going to be FUCKING BALLS TO THE WALL AWESOME.
If you don't like shooters, you might as well stop reading now, as Bulletstorm is a shooter through-and-through. But it does something radically different than most shooters; it integrates a skill-based system to the proceedings. Your kills are worth points, and there are several modes (beyond the campaign) that integrate the points into the social aspects of the game.
Not a fan of multiplayer games, but still enjoy proving that you're better than your friends? Echoes mode lets you run through every level of the game, trying to best your friends, and your own, high scores. Enjoy co-op? Work with your friends to get the CRAZIEST kills possible, chaining together kills in new and inventive ways.
Can you tell I'm excited?

-I'm getting it for the X-Box 360 in case anyone wants to compete.
