    Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack
    If you remember the originals (fondly of course), you will definitely want to pick this up. If this is your first time packing a six-shooter in the Wild West, you might want to consider a rental first.

    Fear Factor: Unleashed
    Can I describe Fear Factor: Unleashed in one simple word? Sure I can: crap.
    • 28 Metascore

    Godzilla: Unleashed - Double Smash
    Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash feels like something is missing. The game had the potential of being an excellent fighting title but in the end, this monster is feeling rather hollow.

    Sneakers
    The shame is that the lousy and simplistic gameplay takes away from the fact that this is actually a nice-looking Xbox title.

    The Incredible Maze
    The Incredible Maze doesn’t quite live up to its name but it does offer some fun in short bursts.

    Druuna: Morbus Gravis
    There is a split-second delay from your button press to Druuna actually performing an action. So the most mundane action -- such as crouching to avoid a big piece of machinery that will take Druuna's head off -- turns out to be near impossible.

    Space Empires IV Gold
    After installing SE4G my addiction has gotten worse.

    Mutant Storm
    I've experienced "null-time" before - entering that state of pure concentration when everything falls out of your peripheral vision and time no longer exists - but MS consistently put me into that null-time zone.

    Wings of Honor
    Credit has to be given to City Interactive for venturing into an era that is most commonly avoided and creating a game that will please historians; though not grab the attention of many gamers.

    Medieval: Total War Battle Collection
    This compilation pack may not be a recommended title for beginners because it is so complex.

    Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long, Attack of the Dark Dragon
    I know that I don't fall in the demographic that American Dragon: Jake Long is aimed at, but even I can recognize a bad game, even if it is sprinkled with one or two points of interest.

    Burn (2007)
    The name should clue gamers in right away – it’s about the same emotion you’d feel if you bought Burn, installed it and found it to be a sub-par experience even if it was 1999 when Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament were the kings of Deathmatch. Burned!

    Chainz Galaxy
    With plenty of hours of casual gaming fun and a variety of modes that range from stress-free, go-at-your-own-pace, to timed arcade to mind-teasers, Chainz Galaxy is a very good puzzler that borrows from its Tetris inspiration while bringing a new element to the classic "connect three-or-more colored shapes/items" gameplay.

    Drakensang: The River of Time
    While The River of Time has its fair share of technical flaws, the story, and combat in the game more than make up for this. Also, the game is only $20 which helps one overlook its shortcomings. The game quietly slipped onto the market at the start of the year, which is a shame because it certainly deserves the attention of RPG fans.

    Big Bass Fishing
    It’s been a long time since I played a fishing game that didn’t allow you to tool the boat around the lake to find a good fishing spot. Even free Shockwave fishing games tend to include this feature.

    Europa Universalis III Chronicles
    Europa Universalis III represents an older and more thoughtful style of gaming. It's easy to pick up, and very easy to get your head handed to you. For those who persevere, you'll find a deep strategy game that will challenge your skill as a statesman and a general.

    Crysis 2: Decimation Pack
    The Decimation Pack retails at $9.99 and while there is a decent amount of content, the scarce online community as well as the familiarity of the maps make this additional content passable.

    Gatling Gears
    I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Gatling Gears is some sort of transcendent gaming experience. What it does is remind us why we started playing games in the first place: to have fun. No pretense of artistic or literary value. No outlandish attempt to make your GPU melt down from the number of polygons being thrown at you. Just pure and unadulterated fun.

    Active Life: Magical Carnival
    This game is not an exercise game per se but you will get up and moving and have fun with it. I am happy to say that with the inclusion of some of the extra modes it looks like the developers cared enough to put some other extras into it. Overall, it's a good game (but not a great one) and if you already have the Active Life mat then this is a no-brainer.

    Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances
    It's free, sure, but that doesn't mean it's good.

    Jewel Master: Cradle of Egypt 2 3D
    There's absolutely nothing wrong here, just nothing unexpected.

    BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
    Visually appealing and off-kilter enough to remind even the worst cynics that games can actually have a fun core and work out from there — rather than building something then trying to figure out the fun part — BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger offers an interesting distraction, which might not be enough for hardcore fighting fans (who probably played the game to exhaustion years ago), but I'm not one of those people so I actually had some fun with the game.
