    Battlefield 2: Modern Combat

    An ambitious title, but for any First Person Shooter fan this will rock your socks!

    Battlefield 2: Modern Combat hasn't really undergone too many changes in the transition to the Xbox 360 from the original Xbox. The major change comes with the visuals and it really feels like the war grounds have been g... Read Full Review

    Not as good as the legendary Doom 3, but it still packs a punch to draw Doom fans in for the fight!

    Whereas Doom 3 had a decent enough plot, memorable PDA voice messages and moments of shear exhilaration, RoE has a throw away story, text based messages and few moments of shear joy. Luckily, the game isn't as long eithe... Read Full Review

    Sadly recycled from the previous game, BF2 takes players even deeper into the story, but doesn't do it's right justice.

    A long time ago in a gaming universe right next door most Star Wars games were truly lackluster. Simply slapping the name on anything and everything to make a quick dollar really tarnished the franchise's reputation, as ... Read Full Review

    Battlefront takes one of the most popular sci fi universes and combines it with one hell of a gameplay system and creates an addictive game that lets many Star Wars junkies live out some of their wildest dreams. The g...
