It won’t keep those with short attention spans entertained, however, as this game requires patience and has only limited action.

Unbelievably detailed graphics that capture the entire NASCAR experience and earth shaking sound effects that still capture the guttural growls of high-performance engines.

A unique little racer that packs quite a visual punch. Its game play is at once rewarding and frustrating.

Vexx toes the party line for platform games but at least adds more style then most.

Not only gives you a realistic fighting challenge, but also manages to make it look really good while doing so. However, it does suffer from some setbacks, like a poor selection of moves, and a very steep learning curve.

A solid game that will appeal more to those who play multiplayer games. Although the single player modes aren’t bad, the simple gameplay won’t be able to compete with other soccer games on the market.

The fact that this so closely mirrors the world we find ourselves in today and the dangers we face, both in the Middle East and North Korea, instills both a sense of horror to the game and grudging respect for EA.

The interface is simple and easy to learn, and thanks to a few good decisions on laying out the controller, you won’t get lost in a haze of menus.

Ghost Recon’s biggest problem is an apparent lobotomy from the PC version.

Uninteresting gameplay.

A generic, rest on your laurels title from developer Epic that, while beautiful to look at, is a bloated (3GB mandatory install), largely plotless shooter that is disappointing given the pleasant surprise that the original "Unreal" was.

Continues the success and balanced gameplay that was found in the original.

One of the biggest stumbling blocks to this fun throw-back is the over-abundance of these random fights.

With nothing beyond the gameplay to support it, and weak gameplay at that, I can’t recommend Black & Bruised.

Issues like an AI that is a non-factor while racing and gameplay that appears borrowed without any improvements or updates all chip away at its appeal.

Although entertaining enough initially, it becomes repetitive rather quickly and once the story lines are finished, the bulk of the game’s appeal will be too.

While the game looks great, from the meticulous gothic locations to the finely detailed demons you encounter, the game play itself was only mediocre.

Some of the game’s courses are a bit on the bland side. To me this is entirely unacceptable, as the developers had obviously proven that beautiful course design was possible with the power of the Xbox.

Despite its similarities to other extreme-type racers, it offers enough of a difference in physics and control to provide a fresh experience.

The graphics are stunning and character movements, in the game and cut sequences, have a fluidity and realness that immerses you in the game action.

Aquila has an intuitive interface that keeps you heading toward the enemy, blazing away. With four different craft configurations and a variety of weapons with which to fight the enemy, there’s plenty to blaze away with.

While I wouldn’t call this title really high quality, it rests on the strength of good gameplay and a proven console game style.

PC users may be disappointed, however, as the core of the game is still essentially the same.

With racing that’s both difficult and hard to control, as well a poor trick system, I’d be quick to pass this up.

It’s been a long time since a title kept me up till 4 am and this one has done so on two separate occasions. Interesting characters, excellent graphics and addictive gameplay make this one a winner.

The graphics are nothing short of fantastic. Whether viewing the city from a bird’s eye perspective or up close and personal to homes, businesses, or traffic, the level of detail and finesse are obvious.

The graphics are beautifully rendered, offering enough scenery to nearly distract from the utter chaos that makes up much of the game and the sound supports Dolby 5.1 which means a surround sound that actually helps you locate enemies in gameplay.

Simply put, great graphics, sounds, control, gameplay, and variety in levels all make for a great game playing experience.
