    Tropico 3

    A lazy-sunday sofa game. Undemanding and easy but enjoyable nonetheless.

    Reviewing tropico 3 for the xbox360 is difficult. Should the game be compared to its predecessors if it is moving to a new console? Or should it be stood against the competition for that platform and rated? Two very diff... Read Full Review

    Not perfect, not dark but certainly a worthy game. An entertaining shoot'em up with plenty of diversity.

    Perfect Dark Zero

    Not perfect, not dark but certainly a worthy game. An entertaining shoot'em up with plenty of diversity.

    There isn't that much that can be said for this game, either good or bad. Its merely a shooter from start to finish. The plot isn't deep or clever but just gives the player plenty of reasons and locations from which to u... Read Full Review

    They took away the best elements of the original C&C and added trash.

    An xbox game on the xbox360 - More than meets the eye, fun and long but sadly underestimated. Don't expect Next Gen.

    This game bombed on the Xbox 360 and for the silliest reasons. While the game is called Farcry, gamers should not mistake this for a console version of the PC game. Farcry is the PC game whereas Farcry instincts, Farcry ... Read Full Review

    Far from the best but far from bad. It takes the series new directions and takes risks only players can judge.

    Splinter Cell: DA is the 4th instalment in the Sam Fisher series and takes the stealth game in new directions. This time around, Sam Fisher is going off the rails slightly. At the start of the game, Fisher's daughter (wh... Read Full Review

    A boring shooter that tries so hard to be scary and tense, that its boring, mediocre and repetitive.

    This game had potential, but fell a long way short of the line. I spent almost the entire game wandering around, bored out of my mind as the levels all looked the same, you always knew when you were about to be attacked,... Read Full Review

    Has little to offer, but what it does is fun and entertaining.

    Viking is far from being as interesting as it sounds. While the concept of taking control of a Viking and running around an open world, hacking and slashing beasts sounds fun, it isn't really. The game's main selling poi... Read Full Review
