I really only consider Ratchet: Deadlocked as a bonus game in the series, but it's a great bonus game with a heavy combat emphasis and the same style of televised humor that the franchise is known for.

Fans of the first two should pick it up for sure, and other RTS fans would be smart to do the same.

The graphics, sound and controls are all very solid. The controls specifically are easy to pickup, but hard to master making Hot Shots a game you’ll go back to years after its release.

Despite the lack of multiplayer options, there are plenty of things to do in the single-player tour mode, and its steady progression in difficulty is wholly satisfying.

The game features terrific controls, graphics and plenty to do both online and off.

Offers a lot for players and if you like wrestling or enjoy the series, this is definitely a game to grapple with for a while.

If you're an Xbox Live gunplay junkie, this game is for you. If you want something to match the story and immersion of Perfect Dark, you might not be impressed.

The game features plenty of content, solid audio and terrific AI. Without question the game does have some deficiencies in relation to its slightly awkward controls and graphics, but The Warriors is a terrific game no matter the console and it comes in at an affordable price making it a sure fire recommendation.

It just does not have the impact that the first had thanks to a plethora of action titles available now for the Xbox.

While it can get monotonous at times, there is plenty of fuel in the tank of OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast.

The gameplay is accurate and fun and the wealth of options in the Franchise and Career modes will keep players busy throughout the summer and well into the fall.

Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs hits its target pretty accurately – representing a healthy addition to what’s already there.

Despite the lack of multiplayer options, there are plenty of things to do in the single-player tour mode, and its steady progression in difficulty is wholly satisfying.

It isn’t perfect, but at least it’s a little different from all of the others we’ve been seeing, and that’s good enough for me.

The result – a fantastic action RPG that fans of the Marvel universe and non-fans alike should enjoy sinking their teeth into for more than a couple of hours.

For gamers who aren't particularly picky or demanding, there's still fun to be had and progression to be enjoyed in Spellforce 2.

FIFA 06 is a great game for both soccer novices and enthusiastic players alike, and is a worthy investment to a soccer fan's entertainment library.

One of the best basketball titles in recent memory.

The game is especially entertaining the first time gamers sit down and play it. Unfortunately, unless gamers are fans of the karaoke genre, the game does lose its novelty quickly.

As pretty much the only non-shooter/non-sports game on the Xbox 360, you have to get this game just for the change of pace, if not for the fantastic platformer/adventure experience.

It has great presentation; fantastic voice work; fun gun- and horseplay; and a free-roaming world that lets you do almost anything you want. However, even with all these great elements, it's too short to enjoy it all.

In Black there's beautiful graphics and incredible details, tight controls, but as a whole it's an experience you may not feel like completing even the first time through.

From a technical standpoint, how the framerate stays so smooth with all the action on screen is amazing, and the spot-on controls are icing on the cake.

Lego Star Wars is a fun, adventurous one or two-player game for the whole family, and it features all the recent Star Wars lore and more active scenes for those who just love a good, old fashioned Star Wars fight. It's a quick trip, though, and the game is quite easy to play, even with the few difficult puzzles and racing/shooting sequences.
