I have found that NFSMW is highly addictive and the return to the roots of the series with the pursuit mode is a more than a welcome inclusion over the recent underground titles.

I say this time and time again, if you don’t own a previous version of Madden than this game will have everything you want to play football.

I wouldn't class this as a game that belongs within the Sonic franchise but as a unique game featuring Shadow and all his friends including Sonic.

The freedom to roam and undertake missions works well and the story is gripping and entertaining at the same time.

The game play is solid throughout and never overly complicated. The combat is fluid and intuitive especially if you scratch beneath the surface to find a rewarding combo system in place.

Not the longest of games by any means but still offers plenty of replay value.

A decent albeit an average 3rd person action game, which although showing some flaws, most noticeably the AI at times; remains engaging and fun.

I enjoyed the shooting action on foot but found the driving to be a little lacklustre.

With over 20 new battlefronts on land and in space, this is a great sequel with a lot more added features improving the original tenfold.

The game is fun and well worth a play if you are into all things war.

Battlefield 2 should be the benchmark for any future first person war shooter on the Xbox.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game and although its nature won't appeal to the John Rambo type players, it will appeal to the players that love sniping.

The sheer novelty factor of the game wears quite thin very quickly as the game is basically the same throughout bar some minor deviances here and there.

A solid game that although is simple remains good yet dirty fun at the same time.

A linear yet fun experience and whilst it will not win awards for being complex in any way, and this includes the simple story; it does get the job done in an old school way.

LA Rush isn't a bad game per se because at times it's quite fun. The problem is that there are other racers on the market that do the same thing but are much less frustrating.

SSX On Tour is not for the feint hearted as there are plenty of challenges that range from very easy to extremely tough.

If you were disappointed by the multiplayer options of the original game you should be more than satisfied with the bolstered options on offer in Earned in Blood.

I found that some of the controls were also rather horrid especially the first person aiming with some weapons.

The controls are fluid and the combat easy to get into which means players can jump right in and focus on completing the objectives without having to worry about fiddly controls.

Far Cry offers an extensive single player that begs to be played more than once despite not having a difficulty select from the offset. The game is as tough or as easy as you make it depending on how you decide to play.

The single player is reasonable length and with some replay options such as playing as a good or dark character means that you will get to experience a slightly different game depending on your actions.

This is truly a benchmark game for all future comic adaptations. The slick comic style is superb with a fantastic storyline making this game a must-buy/rent for any Spiderman fans.

On paper this should have been one of the best, but it has fallen well short of the mark and I can only recommend this game as a hire title because that is all the time you will need to finish the game and realise how repetitive it is.

The biggest change is the inclusion of the custom mode and as mentioned earlier I think this adds a great deal to the game.

This psychological thriller will keep players hooked from start to finish as it has that "I must find out what happens next" feel to it.

Minor (and understandable) technical complaints aside, this is a gem of an Xbox game.

The enjoyment of driving at breakneck speeds and smashing cars into walls is nothing short of pure bliss.
