    Mafia II
    For such an intricate setup, Mafia II doesn't quite deliver on the promise of making you feel like a gangster until the last few chapters. You spend a lot of the game watching things develop slowly from behind the glass, as Vito makes a name for himself in action sequences separated by a little too much downtime.

    Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
    It's by no means a terrible game, but it simply isn't any better than its older brethren.

    Shadowbane
    If the idea of politics, sieges and large-scale warfare in your MMORPG appeal to you, and you're willing to wait out the stability and lag issues, Shadowbane may be just the game you're looking for.

    Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile
    When taken as a whole, Children of the Nile is a disappointment. It's not that it's a bad game. In fact, buried under the rubble of the game's interface is the germ of a classic.

    Test Drive Unlimited
    The unique inter-weaving of online and offline play alone makes it worth checking out. Add to that the solid look and the open-ended gameplay and you've got another disc that'll put a smile on current-gen gamers living in a next-gen world.

    Elebits
    While the cute little Elebits may not pack quite enough power to shine a spotlight on the game, there's at least enough juice to warrant some attention.

    River City Ransom EX
    Fans of River City Ransom on the NES and brawlers as a whole will love this version.

    Folklore
    A long and satisfying exercise in combat experimentation, character development, and heady mythology. The curious mechanics and calculated, indirect combat won't appeal to everyone, but anyone that appreciates outlandish character design and trippy visuals should at least give it a try.

    Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers
    Duels of the Planeswalkers sacrifices that customizability in order to present a friendlier, easier brand of Magic to Xbox Live Arcade. Without deckbuilding, and with such a limited card pool, this is ultimately going to be a novelty for any serious Magic player.

    Frontlines: Fuel of War
    While the single-player game is worth playing through, you should play Frontlines: Fuel of War because it brings to bear the best of what made the Battlefield series so popular. Big maps, plenty of weaponry, and many different ways to approach combat make this a solid choice for multiplayer enthusiasts.

    The Typing of the Dead
    The word challenges and speed are challenging, and often funny, but the challenge level won't stop even a mediocre typist from finishing the game in just a few hours.

    Spider-Man: The Movie
    Although Spider-Man contains no multiplayer options, the game is filled with extras.

    Kessen
    If you want a strategic military simulation with immense amounts of depth, coupled with incredible visuals, Kessen is your game.

    Dark Age of Camelot: Trials of Atlantis
    The most striking aspect of the new environments is how skilled Mythic is at art direction.

    Front Mission 4
    The customization element is a definitely a high point, but without interesting and rewarding missions built around them, they just aren't as meaningful as they could be.

    Me & My Katamari
    There's plenty of ball-rolling fun to be had here, as long as you keep it to brief intervals, or as often as the pain in your hands will allow.

    The Lost Vikings
    A surprisingly good remake of an unsung classic.

    All-Star Baseball 2005
    Acclaim's long-running series continues to get on base with its fundamentals, yet strike out when it comes to flash.

    Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
    A respectable effort, but disappointing reminder that when you swap content from platform to platform, something often gets lost in the transition.

    The Sims 2
    There's still something addictive about this game once you get past the initially slow start. There are dozens and dozens of things to unlock, and charting your progress through the title really sucks you in.

    Culdcept Saga
    The visuals and story aren't going to bring anyone new to the fold, and you have to be a very dedicated sort to want to invest the incredible amount of time necessary to play a single game from start to finish. At $39.99 dollars, though, you do get a lot of game for your money.

    LEGO Rock Band
    I'm left wondering who Lego Rock Band is really for. It seems to be trying to cater to everyone, but it ends up simply unfocused, and occasionally outright sloppy. It doesn't actively offend, but it's nowhere near a must-have, even for serious music-game fans.

    Scarface: The World Is Yours
    A long-lasting experience that's simply a lot of fun. Part guilty pleasure, part blazingly successful experiment in game design, Scarface: The World is Yours is definitely worth a shot.

    Top Spin 3
    The learning curve is steep, but those who enjoy a challenge might just end up embracing the greater level of realistic gameplay that only Top Spin 3 can offer.

    Uplink: Hacker Elite
    Solid, immersive gameplay that sadly does lose some steam after extended periods of time. But, it's a fun ride for those looking something a little different from the norm.

    Quake 4
    There aren't a lot of nice things to say about the single-player experience, which fails to deliver on multiple fronts. Still, if you want to check out one of the best multiplayer experiences the Xbox 360 has to offer, look no further.

    Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced
    An amusing romp through the bizarre Crash Bandicoot universe. It's not the best game of its kind, but it's certainly worth a visit.

    Dead Head Fred
    One of the most entertaining games to hit the PSP this year.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Darkwatch
    A truly remarkable experience. And, while the game itself may not have broken any new ground, the world it introduces more than makes up for that. It will leave gamers hungry for more.
