It is based on the novel by Christopher Paolini, and the movie version will be released in theaters this December.

Explore the lands of Alagaesia, battle many different strange creatures, fly on the back of a dragon, and solve puzzles as you fulfill your destiny.
Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty 3 is a must-have game for those who have enjoyed playing this World War-themed series. This time, it is centered around 1944 during the Normandy breakout. The game plays as a series of scenarios, each one with a different character. See the perspective from the armies of four different countries: Britain, Canada, Poland and America. As with the other games in this series, Call of Duty 3 can be played online on Xbox Live with up to 24 players (four per Xbox 360 console). This is a big difference from the measly 8 players that you were limited in the other editions. Consistent with other Xbox 360 titles, the graphics in this game are simply amazing, even if you do not view them in Hi-Def.
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
If you have not experienced Oblivion, you are missing out on one of the most finely detailed, vast, open-ended role-playing games currently available for the Xbox 360. Create your character with a large selection of choices, and specialize in the area of your choosing. Do you desire to be a tough warrior, a powerful wizard, or a stealthy assassin? The story is deep and involving, but you can go anywhere you like, complete various missions, battle tough creatures or just explore your surroundings. It is a game that cannot be completed in a short amount of time, so it is definitely worth it to add to your game collection if you are into role-playing/adventure games.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas
A new edition to the intense shooter game series, Rainbow 6 Vegas will keep you on your toes. Play a squad leader for an anti-terrorist group. The glittery, sin-filled Las Vegas serves as a great backdrop for your missions. The ability to play in third-person at any time of the game is a great new feature, as well as being able to rappel down a tall building to surprise your enemies. True to the series, the sense of realism throughout the game draws you in. The game’s creator, Ubisoft, has taken this next-gen game to the next level by using a motion capture technique to bring more authenticity to all characters' physical movements. Rainbow Six is sure to be a hit with shooter game fans.
