    Samurai Warriors 2
    Koei tries to breathe new life into its declining hack and slasher, but find no such love on the 360. Prepare for more repetitive combat, poor Live support and washed out visuals.

    IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix
    Tons of potentials here, but spoiled by overly simplistic controls and horribly sluggish frame rates.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NHL 07
    The hockey season's here again, and the "old" console can still offer something for the fans, albeit with just an updated roster and slightly tweaked controls.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    NASCAR 07
    EA builds on the success of previous NASCAR franchise with improved visuals, a more friendly control and interesting RPG-like elements.

    Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run
    Midway seeks to revitalize the classic arcade game, but the transition is plagued by terribly dated visuals, frustrating controls and an overall unpolished product.

    Test Drive Unlimited
    Test Drive turns the racing genre on its head with this superb multiplayer online racer. Great track customizations and the lower price makes this an easy choice.

    Yakuza
    Fast unarmed combat system and lush visuals complete the package.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    LocoRoco
    Simplistic but addictive gameplay and bright visuals makes this an easy choice.

    Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover
    EA's fighter has done well on the consoles, and really shines on the handheld with reworked controls, refined gameplay and slick visuals.

    Enchanted Arms
    Ubisoft brings the Japanese RPG experience to the 360, but sadly doesn't dazzle us with truly next-gen visuals and revolutionary gameplay.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Super Monkey Ball Adventure
    The always fun monkey balls rolls onto the PSP, but this time disappoints us with uneven gameplay, dull environments and lack of challenge.

    Saints Row
    Sharing some similarities with the celebrated GTA franchise, THQ's actioner adds some original elements and some fluid controls to make this a winner on the 360.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Star Fox Command
    It never completely captures the intensity or fun of previous Starfox titles and the strategy elements don’t offer enough depth to completely make up for it.

    Madden NFL 07
    There is plenty of depth in Madden 07 to make this game a good solid purchase.
    • 51 Metascore

    Pac-Man World Rally
    It's about time the iconic Pac-Man gets his own cart racing game, but we're hard done by the game's generic racing action and bland tracks.

    Ninety-Nine Nights
    Far from revolutionizing the genre, it falls victim to the same fault of "Dynasty Warriors" - repetitive gameplay.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dead Rising
    Taking out hordes of zombies has never been this fun, as Capcom gives you the freedom to bash away with solid controls and luscious next-gen visuals.

    Cloning Clyde
    Just when games are becoming too complex to be enjoyable, here comes a simple platformer that recaptures the fun of the genre. A nice gem on the Xbox Live Arcade.

    NCAA Football 07
    Featur[es] a perfected kicking controls and updated visuals.

    Chromehounds
    Mech games are pretty scarce on the consoles, and this one fills the void nicely with plenty of customization options, fun multiplayer mode and spectacular visuals.

    Prey
    Although the game is lacking a deeper online game, the single player manages to make up for it with a very good story and good solid action.

    • 80 Critic Score
    The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II
    RTS based on the LOTR franchise seems like a perfect fit, and the fact that it plays so good on a console makes this one a clear winner.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hitman: Blood Money
    Agent 47 makes his debut on the 360, with a crafty action game that manages to blend all the different genre elements into one solid offering.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Jaws Unleashed
    Cashing in on the Jaws franchise may have been a brilliant idea on paper, but this game struggles to entertain with a poor storyline and frustrating controls.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Lemmings
    With the DS rapidly gaining more following, PSP finally gets some break with this re-invented classic. A perfect fit for fun mobile gaming.

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis
    Rockstar bounces back from their Hot-Coffee fiasco in style, with a fresh take on table tennis. Think of it as Pong for the 360, a truly fluid and fun budget title.

    • 50 Critic Score
    The Da Vinci Code
    Better stick to the book as this game proves to be too simplistic and dull to be of any fun.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
    Namco improves upon their possibly last current-gen flight-sim with multiplayer support, but fails to add anything new to the formula.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    WinBack 2: Project Poseidon
    Koei tries to revive the Winback franchise, but with limited success, thanks to a bare-boned story, simplistic gameplay and the lack of a challenging AI.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast
    Sega seeks to reenergize the arcade racing genre, but just slaps some rehashed tracks from OutRun2 and nothing much else.
