The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is phenomenal, Burnout Revenge is great, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is good, too.

As for upcoming games, keep in mind: Mass Effect from Bioware, Too Human from Silicon Knights, Gears of War from Epic, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey from Mistwalker (headed by Final Fantasy creator Sakaguchi), Huxley, Ninety-Nine Nights, and Halo 3.
