    Star Wars: Battlefront
    There are better shooters around, but if you’ve long hankered for vehicular Star Wars mayhem, Battlefront was made for you.

    Quake 4
    Quake 4 is a fun game to play. The action is beautiful and fast paced, and Raven did a great job creating a foreboding atmosphere. However, it does not belong in the current FPS upper echelon.

    Ratchet: Deadlocked
    If you're a Ratchet fan, Deadlocked is still worth picking up, but rather than being a meaty new adventure in the series, it will probably serve mostly to deepen your nostalgia for its predecessors...not that that's a bad thing. That co-op play sure is nifty, though.

    Phantom Brave
    Innovates itself into a corner. Tactical RPG fans are going to dig on the creative character development but they'll be the only ones interested in putting up with the awkward controls and even more awkward gridless combat.

    The Sims Bustin' Out
    It's not the "best" version, but it's the most complete. If that makes any sense.

    Mega Man Anniversary Collection
    A scintillating package of retro Capcom goodness; there’s something for everyone to love here, and the low price makes it a killer buy.

    Mega Man Zero 2
    All the GBA's power is utilized here to make a truly gorgeous little outing.

    Age of Empires III
    A nice update to the series. But especially with the way other historical RTS games have advanced the genre, I was expecting more innovation from the game (and developer) that started it all.

    The Sims Bustin' Out
    Worth a look-see, but memory card requirements effectively banish this one to the realm of "Either buy it, or don't bother."

    Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee
    Definitely buy this if you have buddies with whom to play it. Even if you don't, you just might have enough fun with it to make it worth the $40.

    Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders
    The difficulty and audio make the price of entry a bit high, but the story and scale are worth it if you're looking for something a bit different.

    The Sims Bustin' Out
    If you’re a fan of The Sims on the PC or on the console, you must buy Bustin’ Out. Consider the game to be the last ‘must buy’ Sims title before the upcoming sequel, since the experience differs so much from the usual Sims gameplay.

    Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra
    Easily the best title in the series and it’s most likely the result of having to cram content in to the final episode.

    NBA 2K6
    I cannot say enough about this game. It is hands down the best basketball game I've ever played on any system.

    Perfect Dark Zero
    12 hours ain't bad for a single-player campaign, but I hope that's not going to become the standard for solo action on 360, especially wth that 20% markup in game prices for third-party titles.

    Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
    This is the last title that can come out using the old engine before significant reworking is needed, but Jedi Academy still places a performance that deserves a purpose.

    Ghost Master (2003)
    A borderline purchase, mainly pushed over the edge because it's quite fun and inventive.

    NFL Street
    It fits the party game build perfectly, but unlike "NFL Blitz," has the brains and the depth to stick around. The addictive NFL Challenge Mode alone has kept me busy for almost a month.

    Bowl Bound College Football
    The game is a solid career sim.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2
    Just as the SNES is frequently called the "RPGers' console," games like Ghost Recon 2 are giving Xbox an enduring reputation as the "shooters console."

    Madden NFL 07
    If the fatigue bug had been fixed the way EA promised it would be, and the game had the same options that other versions had, I’d give the game the same score I gave last year's version: a 7. As it stands, with the lack of features, the lack of innovation with the game play and the higher price tag; I don’t feel comfortable giving this game anything higher than a 5.

    Hot Shots Golf Fore!
    Worth a play if you didn’t snag the last one. Otherwise, how valuable is online play to you?

    Spider-Man 2
    The funny thing about that is that there are probably enough sub-par things in this game to come down on it a little harder than I did, but the game is one of those deals where the complete work is greater than the sum of its parts.

    NFL Street
    The audio, on the other hand, is nearly an unmitigated disaster.

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
    A wealth of multiplayer gameplay, but only after spending yourself poor on hardware.

    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    By tying the graphics in so closely with the gameplay, King Kong actually makes strong visuals an integral part of the cinematic experience, and naturally the Xbox 360 port gets the edge over the other platforms.

    Cloning Clyde
    It's over too soon, but that speaks more to Clyde's addictiveness than to the brevity of the game.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
    The true value of Battlefield 2 is in how nicely it panders to a crowd that may never have cared for the military shooter genre before.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Links 2004
    Not as deep, feature-wise, as "Tiger Woods," but more realistic, and with a community aspect that Tiger's Xbox version can't match.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Spider-Man 2
    Like a breath of fresh air in the GCN's action lineup. Sure, the fighting can be a little mash-happy at times, and the textures can be a little blurry, and the variety of random tasks can be repetitive...but the first time you leap off the top of the Empire State Building, pull off some aerial tricks while plummeting 90 stories down at high speed, sling yourself via webline around some lampposts, and hurtle into the back of an enemy to begin a merciless web-juggle combo, you'll experience a rush unlike most anything you've felt while playing on the six-sided system.
