    Animal Crossing tends to take over your imagination and you start wondering what is happening in your town at all hours of the day and night, because life never stops in Animal Crossing. Be warned, it can become an obsession.

    The latest addition is on par with the previous releases and is a definite must have for any fan of the nimble, fleet footed prince.

    It also ends up being around twenty hours, so there is plenty of fun to be had in it.

    "Nothing new" is the mantra for Legion Arena. It’s fun, has good strategy, is multi-player enabled, but really nothing new. Just another solid title from Strategy First.

    The music was sub-par, and the menus seemed too cumbersome.

    It’s a shame there couldn’t be a multiplayer for this game as it might have been fun, but for 400 Microsoft points, what do you expect. It’s a great little pick up and play game that you can play with a little time to kill.

    Zuma is another Xbox Live Arcade game that is highly recommended. It’s only $10, and you’ll make that back quickly with the amount of time you spend with it.

    Because of the technical problems, it's tough to solely recommend the PC version of Kong over the other platform versions.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    King Kong offers solid gameplay and production values that will appeal to almost every gamer.

    The game captures the magic of Jackson's film (and steps a little beyond it), looks great and gives you a gameplay ride that is lots of fun.

    Easily the best college basketball game of the year and one that every college hoop fan needs to own.

    With the storyline mode alone, it adds many hours to the game play. You will not just sit down and play it through on a single sitting rather you will be drawn back over and over to play it.

    "Call of Duty 2" and "Perfect Dark Zero" are far better games in almost every way. Even "King Kong" supplies a better FPS single-player experience.

    While the game is rather short, and the love/hate activations of the some of the Viewtiful powers, this is an extremely fun game.

    Fans of simulation racers are going to crap a brick when they see this game: the physics are incredibly implausible. Arcade-racing fans will be more forgiving.

    Visually and from an audio point of view, the game is spectacular. Nice textures throughout. Great wrap- around sound.
    • 89 Metascore

    As you play the game you just can’t help dropping your jaw in amazement at what you’re seeing and getting to do.

    While it is a worthy first survival horror game for the Xbox 360, Condemned: Criminal Origins is a bit of a one-trick pony. Once the campaign is over, the player can go back to unlock more extras, but the game is pretty much done, and it has probably gotten repetitive to the average player by then anyway.

    Tony Hawk fans will probably find Tony Hawk's American Wasteland a must-buy, but I really think the franchise is starting to get as overexposed as Mega Man.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The game has a 100 percent pure Tony Hawk pedigree. For gamers looking for more innovative experiences for their innovative little system, it probably should be a rental-before-purchase situation.

    The lack of gameplay innovation in the series keeps it from soaring into the stratosphere, but for shear driving fun, Project Gotham Racing delivers.

    Gun
    The gameplay mechanics in Gun are a lot of fun, and can be picked up and learned pretty easily with a little tiny bit of practice.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    A major disappointment. It’s another game where you can see the potential for the console but instead you’re stuck with a game that was rushed out to stores.

    The Xbox 360 makes NFS: MW an even better game and it should absolutely, positively be one of your first titles with the console.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    The onfield action is enjoyable but it’s tough to recommend when the game is not realistic in the least and so many options are removed from other console versions of the game.

    Starship Troopers just doesn't have any soul. It's a generic first-person shooter, with gameplay that isn't very much fun and doesn't do justice with the license its based on.
    • 89 Metascore

    The ease of play and deep gaming experience are a perfect blend for whiling away far too many hours, and marathon sessions with this game are going to be commonplace. It is just really hard to put down.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    A game that’s easy to pick up and hard to put down, with a substantial amount of realistic action crammed into every high speed pursuit you engage in.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The pace of the game does start slow for the first few racers on the blacklist, but once you start to win races and are able to upgrade your ride, the game quickly ramps up the speed and difficulty and provides for some fantastic racing action. That is, until the cops arrive and ruin all the fun, literally.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    While playable, True Crime: New York City really isn't worth buying, with clipping bugs and a bad story line and the game being somewhat too easy the game just isn't worth it.
