    Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter
    On the one hand, the bare bones of the game are there, the potential is there, and I wouldn't trust many devs outside of Kerberos to patch this to a decent state. On the other, regardless, it's going to take at least a few months to patch it to a state where it's not just "sort of playable", it's actually enjoyable. But if you feel like helping nurture a game to completion, by all means fork out. Those of you who are more cautious, hang back a few months, it should be cool by then.

    THE aMAZEing Labyrinth
    With complete single-player and multiplayer modes, it offers a wide-variety of gameplay.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    MotionSports Adrenaline
    I think Motionsports Adrenaline comes up a bit short. At the end of the day it is not a bad game but there are better motion control games out there.

    The Lord of the Rings: War in the North
    Lord of the Rings: War in the North isn't the most innovative or original experience you will play on the Xbox 360, yet the co-op gameplay is very enjoyable. I can certainly see many gamers sitting back with their buddies enjoying mashing away through the games many levels while living out their LOTR fantasies.

    Frogger Decades
    Frogger Decades is an enjoyable reimagining of a gaming classic.

    Kinect Sports: Season Two
    Overall, Kinect Sports Season Two is really just an average game but younger gamers should get a kick out of this one.

    Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012
    When it comes to Hunting games, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 is as good as it gets. So for those of you looking for some arcadish, yet a bit on the simulation side, type of virtual hunting, then search no more as Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 is for you.

    Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012
    Okay, so it was vaguely interesting for me, but, train nuts out there, by all means add a point or two to the score. It's a niche sim, but it does exactly what it says on the tin, does it fairly well, and has only a few bugs, none of which are truly gamebreaking due to the nature of the game and its community.

    RUSH (2010)
    Overall, the concept is good... but it does feel like it needs more polish.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    X-Men: Destiny
    Overall, X-Men Destiny is a game you should avoid. It has little in the way of redeeming qualities and other than racking up some relatively easy Xbox Achievements or PlayStation Trophies, X-Men Destiny comes across as an unfinished product that will likely hit bargain bins come boxing day. Sadly, Silicon Knights' slump continues on.

    Just Dance 3
    Overall, Just Dance 3 is one of the better dance games on the Xbox 360 Kinect.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Classic Trilogy HD
    However, the actual porting of these games just feels sloppy as the omission of online play for Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory is unfortunate and not allowing players to select an inverted control scheme is inexcusable. In the end, this compilation does have some merits, but the negative points really stand out and make this a tough one to recommend.

    The Binding of Isaac
    It's a good game, with a surprising amount of content for the price, but it will definitely turn away those who don't like even cartoon gore, and leave a slightly bitter taste in even the most hardened gamer's mouth... and mind.
    • 49 Metascore

    Supremacy MMA
    There's other games that do MMA better and there's games that do blood and guts better. So is there any real reason to pick this one up? While Supremacy isn't technically all that bad there really isn't all that much reason to grab this one over a licensed MMA game or something even more over the top like Mortal Kombat. Rental? Perhaps but only if you're really strapped for something to play.

    King Arthur: Fallen Champions
    Overall, Fallen Champions could have been good. But I've taken a look at King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame, and found that this really is a bit of a stopgap game, something to keep the players happy between the first and the second. But this probably won't attract any new players, because the first missions are, with the exception of Lady Corighann's, pretty tedious, the CYOA sections could have used more work, and, there are more irritations than good points.

    • 65 Critic Score
    Rise of Nightmares
    Overall, Sega's Rise of Nightmares makes valiant attempt at a creepy matured rated action horror game for the Kinect.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hard Reset
    Overall, this is a game that does exactly what it sets out to do: Be an oldschool manshoot, but with modern elements in the mix that make it more enjoyable, and a suitably bonkers Cyberpunk plot (albeit without any real hacking... ah, well, can't have everything).
    • 53 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    Bodycount
    If you're jonesing for a shooter fix in this end of summer, pre-holiday rush of new games, Bodycount might just fill that void. I'd suggest a rental first though. The idea is there but the execution seems to lack that edge. This one amounts to nothing more than a completely generic shooting gallery. Even though the action is fast paced the controls, graphics, and sound are just okay at best.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Space Pirates and Zombies
    A valiant first effort from MinMax, and worth at least a try. Especially considering that, like many indie devs, they're adding more content post release.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    From Dust
    As such, like I said at the beginning, it's a game I want to like, and, on any other platform except PC, you can quite happily add a couple of points to the overall score. But, on PC at least, Dust doesn't quite push the right buttons for me to consider it the amazing game it could have been.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Chantelise: A Tale of Two Sisters
    Overall, if you have a gamepad, and you like action RPGs with a bit of bite to them, at least give Chantelise a try, because it's fairly cheap, and, thanks to a time attack level feature, it's got some replay value. But if you don't have a gamepad, keep in mind that it's going to be hella difficult until you get one.

    Hearts of Iron III: For the Motherland
    As such, if you're not a hardcore turn based strategy buff, stay away.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Tobe's Vertical Adventure
    It's a short, cheap, and fun game, and the difficulty curve seems just right.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dungeons of Dredmor
    It isn't for everyone. But it is definitely a lot more user friendly than other examples of its genre, and, for the price, is potentially a good introduction to this sort of game.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Supreme Ruler: Cold War
    Supreme Ruler: Cold War is a superb simulator.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
    In short, Jamestown is a fun old school game that, for the price, shows excellent play time, replay value, and variety.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Pride of Nations
    Overall, this is a great strategy game, with a lot of flavour, and it'll only take a bit of work from the developers to make it excellent. And both the devs and the community are working on it, so we look forward to lots of fun!

    Disney/Pixar Cars 2
    Cars 2 for the Nintendo DS is an average title that could have been a whole lot more, considering how well the console versions were executed.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Greg Hastings Paintball 2
    Overall, Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is an enjoyable fast paced game that could prove to be a good time with some friends. Although the game can be a bit of a challenge and has some frustrating moments, the good manages to outweigh the bad.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Transformers: Dark of the Moon
    Overall, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is your typical movie based video game as it is thin on features and is about as mind numbing as the movie itself. Simply put, Dark of the Moon is not as good as last year's War for Cybertron, which is disappointing.
