If you like fighting games, I definitely recommend BlazBlue. The combat system seems relatively simple at first glance and has a remarkable amount of depth to it if you really want to sit down and master it.
The characters are all incredibly cool and each has their own "drive" mechanic that gives them unique abilities. The "main" character, for example, Ragna absorbs small amounts of life with each drive attack he does. The anti-hero, Jin, can freeze someone in place for a couple seconds, which gives all kinds of openings. Other characters can create gusts of wind that affect everything else on the screen, control marrionettes, activate or disable weapons, and more stuff.
It's also fairly fast-paced fighting, which is something I consider a plus. SFIV and SCIV both feel slow. They're not, necessarily, but BlazBlue doesn't suffer from that. It's also drop-dead gorgeous if you care about that kind of thing.
