The Bottom Line is that even though Road to Glory is an improvement over last years AFL via feature set, the gameplay hasn't received the type of refinement that we would expect.

What can I say, this game is massive, and the expansion adds on even more to the title.

If you have the original title then this expansion does little to add on to the experience and is not worth your money.

The Single player campaign will last you about 10 hours, but with the added and improving multiplayer mode, there is tons of replay value in Lost Planet.

GT is going in a good direction. If they can tighten the AI so the cars aren’t racing in the same line, clean up the catch up AI, add a damage model, and build on the weight physics than "GT5" will be a racing game to reckon with.

The presentation and controls are lacking, but the rest of the package really stands out due to the gameplay department.

If you were a fan of the Katamari or Pikmin titles, then you will enjoy the innovative gameplay that is offered with Elebits.

Take the great graphics and mix it up with the innovative HUD-less fighting system and solid boxing engine and the result is an excellent boxing game that is at the top of its class.

Without a doubt the best Zelda title ever.

The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.

With the graphics aside, this has to be the best version of Madden this year due to the control factor.

This is one of the better single player experiences in 2006 and the multiplayer only helps add to the replayablilty.

All of the changes and new features were all for the better, and any wrestling fan will be happy with this game.

If you already have other DDR games for your Xbox then I am not going to say you need to run out and get this one, but you won't be disappointed if you like the series.

As a word of warning, if you were not ready for a long haul then I would recommend playing the shorter campaign; the big one is an epic.

Unfortunately, in order to unlock cars and tracks, I have to run through a somewhat boring single player game. I say boring because it's too easy.

If you haven’t played the current gen versions, then Blitz for the 360 is worth a pickup at the $39.99 price tag, but if you have played this already then the most you will get out of the game on 360 is XBL Online Leagues and Achievements.

From start to finish, Gears of War is one wild ride and the best game that I have played this year on the 360.

From a top notch graphics engine to some really fun multiplayer, FPS gamers will enjoy this just as much as last year. The only knock I can say on the game is that it is maybe a little too much like "COD2."

A great game that many may end up passing up due to the name and not not enough hype.

Final Fantasy XII revives my love of the Final Fantasy series and proves why the series is one of the best in the world. I would say that this game’s only real competition for RPG of the year would be "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."

The replay value in this game is astronomical.

I applaud Guerilla Games for making a Killzone made specifically for the PSP, not trying to cram the PS2 version in to the portable machine.

It's got more Marvel Superheroes and Villans than I knew even existed. It's got the same rock-solid gameplay I've come to expect. And it's got some nice new team focus additions that make the game even better.

Bully stays true to its content material the way the mission structures are setup.

The environments are beautiful and highly detailed, also are the destructible elements like the vehicles, trees and newspaper stands.

If you love animals or you are playing The Sims 2 and want more, then you should definitely get this expansion.

If you enjoy flight sims (remember, no combat), then I have little doubt that you will enjoy the breadth of options, landscape, airports and aircraft that this game will provide for you.

The environments are beautiful and highly detailed, also are the destructible elements like the vehicles, trees and newspaper stands.

By the time you get to experience the multiplayer, you’ve already hooked enough members of your family that finding a foe will be 2nd nature. If not, the single player mode has enough meat to last even the most driven of gamers, due to the ability to set difficulty and replay beaten levels.

The difficulty settings are well balanced to allow both the novice and veteran to get a good challenge every time they play.

Radical Entertainment did a wonderful job not only keeping Scarface close to the source material, but also creating a sequel to a movie that was never going to see a sequel.

I commend EA for not porting over the XBOX version and just adding a fresh coat of paint. They went ahead and added new Blackhand moves, new executions, upgraded graphics, new side missions, and a host of many new features on your way to becoming the Don of NY.

With all the World War II games out there, it is hard to stand apart from the crowd and make a game that people will notice, play and talk to their friends about. Company of Heroes is one of those rare treasures.

Even though I still prefer the 3/4 view so that I can see my open guys for one-timer setups, the new camera angles literally adds a new perspective of the action.

Minus the graphics, NASCAR '07 is just as solid as it's predecessors. The skill points are nice, as are the driver attributes. And a new story mode is always good.

With the engaging storyline, deep character customization (both at creation and through the game), multiple gameplay options and exploration routes I can’t get enough of this game.

The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.

But at least gamers on the Xbox 360 get a couple of cool features that others don’t get this year like Live Opponent and Madden Gamer Level.

It's a fun Racing game, one of the most fun I have seen on PC in quite some time. If you like racing games and you have a computer then this is a game you might want to take a look at.

If you have been looking for a space combat game this is not the end all game, nor is it the best trade sim ever or exploration game, however it does combine all three of these options better than most of the other games out there that have tried to put them all together.

The save system could have been setup better but other then that; the game play is immensely enjoyable.

Even the Destruction Derby Arenas and Ragdoll Mini Games are all online playable for you!

The reason it falls short of a fantastic expansion is that it does not influence the main single player game as much as I would have liked.

Though this is a nice city building game it lacks enough to make it stand out from the crowd from other city builders, especially from other ancient city building games.

It's fresh, it's a lot of fun, and it's simple. You can't ask for much more than that.

I do think that the player control is a little stiffer on the 360 than on the Xbox.

With the current-gen, you get more bang for your buck.

What starts out as just another "corridor FPS", turned into a game that grows as you play, and sucks you in.

If you are looking at making the game even more authentic, you can play the entire game in Latin. You can either use this to help hone your Latin skills or if you are just going for something different.

A solid game, it will not knock "Diablo 2" off the thrown of greatest Hack ‘n Slash ever, but it definitely made a good showing for itself.

I'll admit, I really would have liked better AI and a jump button. But at the end of the day, I'm still playing this game to try and get the mini-goals.

Metal Gear fans who don’t usually read graphic novels will definitely enjoy the Metal Gear Solid DGN. If you’re willing to work for it, you’ll get lots of information about the games and characters in the Metal Gear universe, which any Metal Gear fan should love.

I'll admit, I really would have liked better AI and a jump button. But at the end of the day, I'm still playing this game to try and get the mini-goals.

If you are a fan of RTS games and are interested in taking a fresh new look at WWII then I highly recommend checking out this game. Great details, fun gameplay, interesting storyline for the German and French Campaigns all combine to make a great title.

Look, the only real downside to this game is that it's pretty much a near identical port of MotoGP 3. A couple new tracks, a couple new bikes. But overall, it's the same game with a new coat of paint. That paint just happens to be the prettiest coat you've ever seen. New MotoGP players are going to drool over this game. Veterans of the series have a reason to trade their current versions in. Even as a near port, this is still one helluva racing game.

This is a great collection for fans of the series out there. For those of you that are new to the games, I have to recommend at least renting this one to give it a shot.

The Movies: Stunts & Effects Expansion Pack gives you the tools to turn your Hollywood hits into blockbuster industry-shaping events.

If you are a fan of City Building Sims than this is a great title for you. Just be warned that the extra need to balance your different social groups will make this one harder to master than some of the other City Building Sims out there.

It's overall a solid title with a couple little glitchy AI issues that don't take too much away from things.

Just sort of middle-of-the-road when it comes to 3rd person shooters. The main reason is the cookie-cutter AI that seems to sort of makes the game a little too easy to play.

Puzzle gamers are going to have a field day with this game.

There are enough countries, enough modes and good enough graphics and sound to make you forget you’re playing a handheld, and the controls should feel very natural (especially if you played on the PS2).

If you ever played ping-pong a day in your life, you will have instant respect for this title. I just wish it had more depth to it.

This is a solid game, nice graphics, great controls, but most importantly, immersive engaging gameplay that makes you forget to sleep and eat.

This is a game that mom or dad can feel safe buying for their child to play.

Not a bad game, especially if you are a parent looking for something other than the latest shoot-em-up or blood-filled monster game.

It was very fun for the first few stages, but didn’t really change enough from level to level.

If you own a DS, buy it. If there is a gaming bone in your body, you will be more than happy with the purchase. I don’t know if I would call Lost Magic a system seller, but put the game together with the new DS Lite and you’ve got a pretty compelling argument.

If you have FIFA from last year, and you're not worried about having the official World Cup Germany licensing and such, or the new Global Challenge mode, then there's isn't that big a reason to upgrade as the gameplay is pretty similar.

This is the first of the fully-featured Xbox 360 sports games from EA, and it's got everything you missed in the launch title. And it's definitely what I would consider to be a "next-generation" game. When you play it, you'll see from the kickoff exactly what I mean.

This is a great game, be you avid rally fan or a novice to the sport, this game offers something fun for all takers. If you have a PC that can handle the game and you like racing games in the least I would have to recommend you take a look at this title.

Tomb Raider fans finally once again have that must-have.

Tomb Raider fans finally once again have that must-have.

I expected more from the single player than I got, especially having time between the current-gen and Xbox 360 version. Weapons upgrades and unlockables are cool, but a storyline that really doesn't go anywhere or suck you in, combined with still lackluster computer AI bring the experience down.

Tomb Raider fans finally once again have that must-have.

But I can tell you that it's an upgrade from the Xbox version, as it should be. It looks better, and it plays better now that the fielding works correctly now.

In the end I must say this game does a great job of simulating the experience of Axis and Allies the board game, just updated and enhanced with the power of a computer.

The game has attitude to it that other games don't. And it looks good too.

But the thing that makes this game just pretty good and not fantastic is the faulty fielding. It's not a deal breaker, but it is noticeable and at times frustrating.

For the most part, From Russia With Love is an enjoyable gaming experience even though it is a rather short one.

But the thing that makes this game just pretty good and not fantastic is the faulty fielding. It's not a deal breaker, but it is noticeable and at times frustrating.

It does look sharp, and the idea of making your own player and taking him online for his own Xbox Live career is intriguing. And the offline career mode is much better than the first game.
