Anyone who's a fan of third person shooters (say, the gears of war series) will probably enjoy Vanquish on the PS3/360. The weapon system is somewhat similar to the one in Gears of War (minus the iconic reload speed timing deal), with ways to upgrade your weapons as you go along. The cover mechanics are also similar and work very well overall.
My only real gripe with it is that I'm ~2/3 of the way through and still have no idea what the story is exactly, mostly because the majority of the story seems to be explained in the loading screens which flash by way too fast to read them at all. That aside, the futuristic sci-fi setting, huge bosses and the abilities your character has definitely makes it worth the $10 you can find it for used 
"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
