    Forza Motorsport 4
    Whether you're a casual player or someone who is hardcore and looking to top the leaderboards, Forza 4's great controls, ton of game modes, and endless options make it a racing game that is very playable for all who take to the virtual road. Sure, it isn't perfect as I take exception to some of the AI tactics and how the force feedback through the Xbox 360 Wheel feels excessive and artificial. Despite the shortcomings though Forza 4 is the ultimate playground for car and driving aficionados.

    Spider-Man: Edge of Time
    Much like Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time features some sharp looking visuals, solid voice work, nicely presented cinematic cut scenes, and core gameplay that works well in short bursts.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2012
    PES 2012 is definitely a great game and deserves to be looked at by sports fans and soccer fans alike. Sure, the lack of an official FIFA license kind of sucks, but the solid visuals, good sound, and easy to pick up, but tough to master controls make this a virtual soccer game worth playing.

    Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
    Overall, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is one of the more innovative gaming experiences I have played on the Xbox 360 to date. Its cross-platforming abilities, slick looking toy figures, and enjoyable gameplay all make for a game which should not only please long time Spyro fans, but will surely satisfy the games younger target audience.

    Tetris Axis
    Aside from the 3D, the core gameplay mechanics have stayed the same, while we do get to see some new gameplay variants – ultimately you can't change a classic.

    SQUIDS
    SQUIDS is a fantastically fun game with a great, whimsical feel.
    • 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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    RAGE
    Although Rage has some cookie cutter moments, and the fetch quests can feel a bit too much, the visuals, control, and sound make up for this in spades.

    Shadowgun
    Shadowgun really blew me away. It's one of the best games I've played on the iPhone, and it's one you can really show off!

    Off-Road Drive
    Off-Road Drive is the type of game that I think should be enjoyed without necessarily having a goal in mind.

    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.

    NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
    If you are a fan of the previous NBA Jam games you can download this one without hesitation but even for those new to the scene, NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is money well spent.
    • 84 Metascore

    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.

    Nuclear Dawn
    So, overall, FPS fans rejoice, for this is a darned good game for the price. However, definitely keep in mind my previous advice: Get a headset, work together, play the tutorials. If all you care about is a high score and a KDR, don't bother, this isn't your type of game. If you truly care about teamwork, and love games which encourage it, this is definitely your thing.

    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.

    Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2
    Overall this title offers a lot in single player and multi-player area and does the RPG dynasty justice keeping fans happy and busy until a new Dragon Quest title comes along.

    Child of Eden
    Child of Eden is one of the most unique games you will play on the PS3. The addictive gameplay, vibrant visuals, solid sound and challenging level designs all make for game PlayStation Move owners should strongly consider. Just be aware, it is a short single player only experience that does not offer up much in the way of replay value.

    FIFA Soccer 12
    Coming off a disappointing outing last year, the EA Sports FIFA franchise has bounced back in a big way. The amped up presentation, new physics engine, new tactical defending, and other new additions make for a game that is truly better than ever. There is no question FIFA Soccer 12 is the soccer (or football for you Europeans) game to own for FIFA fans and sports fans alike this year.

    Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
    Tripwire has created a very awesome game. They succeeded in making a realistic, strategic, first-person shooter. It isn't a game designed with a single-player campaign in mind. It isn't for people wanting a twitchy, run-and-gun FPS. It's designed for PC gamers who want a complex shooter.

    Gears of War 3
    Very few games offer as much as Gears of War 3 does, and even fewer manage to do it this successfully. I would say that this is easily the best Gears of War to date. Once again, Epic has successfully iterated on a series what most other developers are still desperately trying to imitate. What a fitting end to a most fantastic trilogy.

    Kirby Mass Attack
    With some great visuals, typical sound, and some addictive gameplay, "Nintendo-holics" can't go wrong here.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    God of War: Origins Collection
    With enhanced, but somewhat dated graphics, solid sound, and some great God of War gameplay, you really can't go wrong picking this one up. The cheaper price is even more of a reason too as $40.00 isn't that bad for all the gameplay action you'll get out of it
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    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.

    The Gunstringer
    The Gunstringer is a simple Kinect shooter affair, yet it is one of the more enjoyable Kinect games you will play. Its' unique gameplay is a hoot and much of that has to do with the seamless controls. The game is presented in a charming yet goofy manner that is engaging and entertaining.

    Rise of Nightmares
    Overall, Sega's Rise of Nightmares makes valiant attempt at a creepy matured rated action horror game for the Kinect.

    Burn it All - Journey to the Sun
    It builds complex and incredibly fun levels based on simple mechanics.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Resistance 3
    With solid graphics, great sound, and some very addictive gameplay, including the multiplayer component, Resistance 3 is a great way for the PS3 to start the fall/winter season of gaming
    • 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).
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Men of War: Vietnam
    I know I'm not great at this genre, and I think it's my lack of skill, not the game. 1C always pour in the details and expects you to give back the same effort to succeed. However, it'd be nice if the game accounted for people like me! Men of War: Vietnam is a very full game for a bargain price.
