Mix the uber-popular genre of music games like "Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" with more traditional, so-called "hardcore games," and the result is "Brutal Legend." The new title is voiced by comedic actor-musician Jack Black, is about a fighter who uses his guitar as a weapon to do battle with and against creatures voiced by a who's-who of heavy metal musicians, including Ozzy Osbourne.

"You fight monsters and somehow music, especially heavy metal music, has an effect on the surroundings, like creating electricity, fire, and you can use that to battle monsters,' says Kee Chi of Electronic Arts.

Those who think they would prefer a 1940s Parisian brothel can play "Saboteur," a new game that takes place in occupied Paris during World War II. Gamers play Sean Devlin, who takes up the cause of the French Resistance after Nazis kill some of his best friends.

"Any area where the Nazis have occupied and are really oppressing the people, [it] appears in black-and-white, so as Sean starts to perform these acts, he starts to bring color back into the environment," says Greg Borrud of Pandemic Studios. "It kind of acts as a guide. Where you see black-and-white, you know there's trouble over there, so you usually head in that region to look for it."

Finally, the new racing title "Split/Second" takes place inside a reality TV show, and players can sabotage their opponents by triggering minor mishaps like a jumbo jet that comes crashing onto the asphalt.

"You can blow up sections of track, you can place obstacles in the road, create explosions and those kinds of things will give you a race advantage," says Paul Glancey of Blackrock Studio. "We want it to look as spectacular as possible so players will feel like they're driving through an action movie."

When it comes to packing their new titles with action, the video games' developers can say "Mission Accomplished."
