Burnout Paradise
Redefines what an arcade racer can be.
The Good: Open-ended world and gameplay; Amazing graphics; Races and crashes are better than ever; Seamless and fun online play; Excellent soundtrack. The Bad: Open world means that races are a little harder... Read Full Review

TMNT
TMNT isn't bad for kids or die-hard fans, but it feels unfinished.
The Good: Good visual design and presentation; Voice acting is well done; Solid controls; Slick animation; Story expands well upon the movie. The Bad: Graphics aren't up to 360 standards; Combat and AI is too s... Read Full Review

Rayman Raving Rabbids
Crazy Rabbids, shallow party game.
I’d be lying if I told you I had played the Rayman games before Raving Rabbids came out. Nothing had really peaked my interest in the series until now. With the addition of Raving Rabbids to the Rayman franchise, the g... Read Full Review

Kameo: Elements of Power
A new standard for the adventure genre.
Kameo was the first adventure game released for the Xbox 360, and it has set some new standards for what is possible in a video game. It has a few flaws, and is a little short, but overall this is a great game for playe... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
One of the best RPGs of all time is even better on the PC.
I first played Oblivion on the Xbox 360, and loved it. In fact, I almost gave it a perfect score. The only thing holding me back was some minor flaws, and the fact that the game felt a little easy, and incomplete in so... Read Full Review

Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank
A throwback to the side scrolling shooter days.
One of the genres that’s been lacking on XBL Arcade has been the classic side-scrolling shooter. Popcap Games is looking to change that with Heavy Weapon. Although it was released several years ago on the PC, it’s stil... Read Full Review

Burnout Revenge
Burnout Revenge returns on the 360, but will be familar to those that played it before.
I played Burnout Revenge extensively on the Xbox when it was released last year. Now EA has re-released their popular arcade racer for the Xbox 360. They’ve changed a few things, and added some new features, but overal... Read Full Review

Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi

To be honest, I had never heard of the Dragon Quest/Warrior series of games until this game started to get hyped. My experience with Japanese RPGs hasn’t been good. Final Fantasy 3 back in the SNES days was great. But... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Single player game is great, but it's over too soon.
When the Xbox 360 was announced last year, one of the most highly anticipated, and best looking titles shown was Ghost Recon. After missing the launch, the 360 now has it’s first tactical shooter, and it’s easily one of... Read Full Review

Dead or Alive Xtreme 2
Big breasts and small bikinis: two of the best things in life.
The Dead or Alive series is known for its beautiful women, and their large, bouncy breasts. Therefore it would seem like a no-brainer to make a game featuring just these girls. That’s the idea behind Dead or Alive Xtre... Read Full Review

Gears of War
Better than Halo.
When I first heard about Gears of War, I thought it was another Halo-clone. I’m going to get flamed for this, but I never thought Halo was that great of a game. Sure it was good for a console FPS, but there were better... Read Full Review

Project Gotham Racing 3
Looks great, but boring when it comes to the racing.
I’m a huge racing fan. Every Sunday you can find me watching NASCAR, and worshiping at the church of speed. So needless to say I love racing games. In general I prefer sim-racing games to arcade racing. When I picked... Read Full Review

What's best in life? Bloody combat, and topless maidens.

Halo 3
Fun game, but doesn't do anything new for the series or the genre.
The Good – Fun multi-player, tons of options, epic single-player campaign, lots of replay, excellent music, tight controls. The Bad – Horrible online community, story isn’t told well, hit-or-miss next-gen visuals, bla... Read Full Review

Dead or Alive 4 (Platinum Hits)
Looks great, but takes a step back from earlier DOA games.
I’ll be honest: fighting games are probably one of my least favorite genres. This is mostly because they require you to remember a long list of moves and combos. Thus making the game less accessible, and more like a sc... Read Full Review

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
One of the best games of all-time, and best RPG so far this year.

Gun
Good attempt at a western shooter, but misses on a few key points.
Since I'm a western movie fan, I got caught up in the hype of Gun. Much like last year's Red Dead Revolver, Gun is a good game but could have been a lot better. The main thing it suffers from is being so short. You ca... Read Full Review

Fallout
One of the greatest RPGs of all-time.

Madden NFL 07
A little better than last year, but probably not enough to buy it if you already own '06.
I’m not the biggest “mainstream” sports fan. As such, I’ve never been into the Madden games much. When Madden 07 came out, I passed me by like all the other ones before it. Then my nephew (who owns Madden 03 on the GC... Read Full Review
