    Divinity II: Ego Draconis
    If you can put up with its flaws and want to lose yourself playing a game for hours then this is for you but if your the kind of person who gets annoyed easily and who wants a truly immersive RPG then stay well away.

    Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
    Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, whilst having a ridiculous name, sadly falls into the pile of games best avoided (achievement junkies look in your bargain bin!).

    BlackSite: Area 51
    Blacksite: Area 51 is a decent game overall, however it feels like a game that is a shooter by numbers; offering very little that we've not seen before in other games.

    DreamWorks Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
    There isn’t much left to say about Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. It’s a kids-only game in my book, but a decent kid-friendly game that shouldn’t frustrate the younger player.

    Nat Geo Challenge! Wild Life
    A unique title for days and evenings where you'd rather show who's the most knowledgeable as opposed to the most skilled at killing and pressing buttons quickly.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
    If I were to make any major complaints then it would have to be the overall simplicity level of the game and the horrendous loading that occurs after every activity.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Splatterhouse
    There's simply not enough variety to hold your interest beyond the first few hours, and only fans and die-hards will likely want to play beyond this.

    Tower Bloxx Deluxe
    For 800 Microsoft points, Digital Chocolate delivers an incredibly fun and intuitive game that will stand out on an already impressive roster of games on the Xbox Live Marketplace. If it fits into your list of favorite genres, Tower Bloxx Deluxe is definitely worth your money.

    Blood Stone: 007
    So, is there any reason to dive into Blood Stone? Well, if you're a Bond fan and like the genre of stealth/action that Splinter Cell has perfected, and have a spare weekend to fill, then you will find that the 5 hours you spend playing the game will be enjoyable enough to warrant a rental.

    Fantastic 4
    Not so fantastic and a game that I would say is disappointing considering the possibilities of the characters.

    Bakugan: Defenders of the Core
    The inclusion of stealth gameplay is surprising and welcome, but the fighting is the main event here and works well enough.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Blacklight: Tango Down
    Blacklight Tango Down is one of the best looking XBLA titles to hit the marketplace and players will find that it may even surpass some retail games they have previously bought.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Disney/Pixar Up
    In closing, UP is a solid game for youngsters, short and to the point, there's some easy to manage gameplay that is neither taxing or overly complex.

    Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
    I think graphics junkies will probably feel a little let down when presented with the game’s visuals.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blood Bowl
    Overall, Blood Bowl is a game that will appeal to fans and non-fans alike, providing the later stick with it and give it a chance. Unfortunately, most won't, and understandably, will look elsewhere soon after loading the game up.

    Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
    With its no nonsense game play I recommend this title for those bored of the Tom Clancy approach to gaming.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dead to Rights: Retribution
    Dead to Rights: Retribution is a solid game which looks pretty good based on a fictitious NYC. The combat whilst dynamic, does get a bit repetitious and by mission 10 you'll be glad it's over rather than begging for more.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Surf's Up
    Surf’s Up could have been another crappy shovelware title based on yet another animated movie license. Instead it turned out to be one hell of a fun ride, albeit an extremely short one.

    Moon Diver
    This game is a complete mess from start to finish.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is, for the most part, an enjoyable action game that is sadly short lived due to its overall length and un-realised, poorly crafted story.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
    Anyone expecting a game similar to the N64 version will be greatly disappointed because at the end of the day Rogue Agent is simply a mindless run and gun fest against reasonably smart AI.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
    Transformers 2 is undoubtedly a game aimed squarely at pleasing both fans of the films as well as the original series, and Luxoflux’s effort to deliver a solid game experience nearly succeeds, but an inexplicably clumsy control scheme and questionable gameplay mechanics such as the always-on timer and meaningless secondary objectives hinder a great deal of the enjoyment that the game has to offer.

    Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
    As it stands you have a hit and miss campaign which yes, is very Hollywood and fairly engaging but on the other hand can be rather lacklustre at times.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Kinect Adventures!
    Kinect Adventures does a wonderful job at showing off the tech. It is a game that can be played for some quick solo fun, but the fast paced action is better enjoyed with a friend.

    James Cameron's Avatar: The Game
    Avatar feels like a lost opportunity. While the jungle and background scenery of the Pandora world are lush and vibrant, it feels like most of the game's budget was put into this one aspect of the title.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Metal Slug XX
    The bottom line is, 1200 points is just too steep a price to pay for a flawed, frustrating, unbalanced and vastly dated shooter.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Playboy: The Mansion
    Much like the real Playboy magazine in that it is simply more than a cheap gimmick of pert breasts and tight peachy buttocks.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Voodoo Dice
    All in all, the time I spent playing this game I enjoyed, especially the more challenging levels that required a bit of thinking to finish. However at 800 MS points it's hard to justify spending that much when there are so many better games out there.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
    It's another film license gone to waste.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hunted: The Demon's Forge
    Hunted: The Demon's Forge isn't going to win any awards for originality or for its looks, but what it does provide is a welcome action adventure game that can be enjoyed by most gamers willing to overlook the somewhat dated presentation. The gameplay is solid and the characters likeable enough to encourage players to stick with it. If you're after a co-op or solo game that rests in the done to death fantasy realm, then you'd do well to have a look at Hunted as it's enjoyable and well worth the price of entry.
