It seems mediocrity is the rule these days...

After what could have been an onslaught of great games to choose from, it looks as if the developers gave in to the pressure of having to release the games before the holiday season started.

All ratings from ign.com:
Soldier of Fortune Payback: 6.1 (admittedly, the prior SOF games weren't great, at least consistency is the model in this franchise)
Kane and Lynch: 7.0 (looks like a rental, what a shame, I had high hopes for this one)
Blacksite Area 51: 6.4
Beowulf: 4.0
Cabella's Big Game Hunter: 5.0
Fear Files: 6.7
Clive Barker Jericho: 5.6
Sim City Societies: 5.8
Hellgate London: 6.8
