    NeverDead had some interesting ideas, but they play out badly here, between the loose, flawed gameplay and the problematic presentation, not to mention the lack of any significant replay value, despite a few decent game moments and the presence of co-op.

    Conflict is not a terrible game, but there is no hook here to set it apart from the countless other (and better) first-person military shooters already available.

    By correcting the glaring issues with the classic, Atari has delivered the kind of product gamers have wanted from them all along. The quality of Warlords fuels excitement for the other damaged gems they could find and polish in their vault.

    • 77 Critic Score
    It lacks in complexity, so those expecting the next great action game will probably be disappointed. Otherwise, if it's an arcade romp you want for 800 Microsoft points, take a stab at it.

    All true CSI fans, turn your speakers up, put the kettle on and switch off your phone, as you get comfortable in your favourite chair.

    While it is great that EA was able to get all the actors to provide their voices for Superman Returns: The Videogame it is a shame that they turned out the way they did, flat and boring.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    The chaos is fun to be a part of for the first few hours, but it becomes redundant too quick to recommend for anyone who isn’t looking for a title to play online or offline cooperatively with a family member or friend.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Ultimately though, for those who enjoy the niche quality of retro titles, there is something enjoyable and genuinely fun here for you.

    Cabela's Big Game Hunt is fails to deliver on all fronts, failing to provide a realistic hunting simulation or at least compelling gameplay.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Wing Commander Arena attempts to revive the past with a lukewarm effort that many fans might find to be blasphemous. WCA was built around the multiplayer experience, but the inability to keep your group of gamers together in player matches goes against the spirit of Xbox Live.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 32 Critic Score
    Really, it is a damn shame that it does not currently work. When/if the game's online functionality is fixed, it appears to be a rather rich, ambitious online experience.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The game will only take most gamers five hours, at most, to complete, but it does offer a little bonus replay value in the way of same-console multiplayer modes.

    • 45 Critic Score
    Poor controls ultimately doom it, making you feel even clumsier at kung fu than Po ever did. Skip this drudge and go see the movie instead. You'll have more fun, and enough money left over afterwards to take a karate class.

    If you are a complete demented whack job, hey, this might be the game for you but for those looking for solid gameplay via both SP and MP, Soldier of Fortune: Payback is not worthy of a rent let alone a $60 purchase.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The presentation is pretty awful; it looks to be straight out of a Playstation 1 game, not a next-gen console.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The graphics look good, and the anime structure is loyal, but the gameplay just fails to keep up on any end. Drunken anime lunatics and kids are sure to love this, but everyone else should proceed with caution. You'll be going "Kamehame-HUH?!" in no time, assured.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    It falls short in all areas, and even its over-the-top brutality can't save it from being a mundane effort.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The game has been stripped of it’s former glory and is now just a below-average sports game in an already over-crowded genre.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    With 43 mini-games it includes enough substance to warrant a purchase, especially if you like the “party game” genre. While the offline modes may lack in terms of a single-player experience, games like FF2 really succeed because they are fun to play with other people.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Is Duke Nukem Forever as awful as some folks are saying? No. But is it a project that's been worth waiting for over the last decade? Also no. It's disappointing that Gearbox couldn't quite make the whole experience a worthwhile effort for someone like Duke, while, by the same token, it sticks to its retro guns fittingly in some parts, enough to make the game worth a rental.
    • 48 Metascore

    Terminator Salvation is only worth a weekend rental if you have a few friends coming over to play cooperative with.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    CSI: Hard Evidence makes Phoenix Wright look like Sherlock Holmes. The game's limited cases and mind numbingly bland gameplay makes this a questionable rental, at best.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    For fans of hunting games only. The graphics and sound are not even close to what 360 gamers deserve. The gameplay is less than inspiring, and there are some absolutely awful minigames you must complete to progress in your career.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game's character models, voice-acting, and sweeping fantasy score are the only items that hold-up throughout the experience, with the combat system loosing its luster early due to overly repetitive gameplay.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The sloppy gameplay and missing long-term replayability leave it being stuck in the "Kinect gimmick game" pile, rather than standing out.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 53 Critic Score
    It's almost as if Techland rushed this through testing merely to get back on Dead Island development…which would make sense if they had an idea how bad this game was getting.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    The only reasoning I can see behind playing Legendary is to see the awe-inspired mythological creatures in action.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The presentation's just below overage, thanks to a number of glitches and uninspired level designs. It just generally falls apart – like some sort of scheme that Naughty Bear has hatched up.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Its presentation goes the distance, but the cruddy gameplay and unbalanced AI keep this ride firmly grounded. Get your cruising kicks elsewhere.
    • 47 Metascore

    Silicon Knights may not be treading into its Eternal Darkness territory here, but at least it's steering clear of its Too Human regime. This Destiny's got some weight behind it.

    What can gamers take away from their experience with Zoids Assault? Well, first off, the strategy role-playing genre is still in need of a worthy candidate to make the genre look extraordinary again. Secondly, the developers need to hire better writers to create a campaign truly worthy of our time.

    This review is not about nitpicking specific mechanics, it’s about the creation of something new and enjoyable; Tony Hawk: Ride brings a whole lot of fun to the rehashed video game market.

    Thanks to its great concept and terrible execution, Operation Darkness is the very definition of a guilty pleasure game.
    • 46 Metascore

    I feel that the gameplay variety is worth a look. Then again, maybe I’m just overly nostalgic when I remember how fun and addictive the Genesis game was.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 57 Critic Score
    While there was a lot of potential here for a quality licensed video game, it ended up being marred with problems with the controls, frustrating difficulty and lame environments.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 46 Critic Score
    Beast Rider deserves a place in the gaming hall of shame, easily one of the worst titles on 360 and with an obscene price-point to boot.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 52 Critic Score
    Everything in the game is sloppily executed; the plot, the visuals, the multiplayer, everything in the game feels broken in some form or another. Even if you enjoyed the first, I implore you to avoid N3II.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    In essence, 007 Legends falls flat on so many levels, it does a disservice to Bond instead of paying tribute to him. It's sloppy in some places, inconsistent and bland with its gameplay, and not really as well put together as it should've been.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you’re an insane fan of the series, you have already bought it and if you like action games like X-Men Legends and Ultimate Alliance you should definitely check this out at your local Blockbuster (or GameFly). Otherwise steer clear of what turns out to be the worst of the video games based on movies so far in 2007.
    • 43 Metascore

    Resist the urge for the cheap points, as your 400 Microsoft Points would be better spent purchasing horse armor for "Oblivion."
    • 43 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    In total, the whole Basic Training experience lives up to the 'basic' in the title, and will take you an hour to complete.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    A disappointing experience. Leave this one in your childhood memories, where you did not mind how shallow it was.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 64 Critic Score
    Hot Wheels: Beat That is the kind of battle racing game that will score well with the younger crowd that the 360 too often forgets about. If you are still of the age where you enjoy the occasional spin around the room with a die-cast car, this will be right up your alley. For the rest, the shallow, repetitive gameplay will wear on you after a few hours.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Normally I wouldn't mind graphics that weren't state-of-the-art if they had a unique style to them, but Mindjack's style is just too bland to excuse.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    The game is a much better rental or title that is best left to borrowing from a friend who was fooled into buying it due to their ‘80’s nostalgia.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 41 Critic Score
    Sadly, you will battle nearly as many bugs as Nazis through the course of Turning Point. For all the game gets wrong, which marks about ninety-eight percent of the game, they deserve credit for at least writing a solid, heroic ending to the game. The trick is plodding through four to five hours of bad to get to the thirty-seconds of goodness.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The game fails to impress for the most part, but its one glowing achievement is the fact that I could play through it and didn’t ever really find myself hating my time with it.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Dragon's Lair is a heralded classic that, in some forms, still stands the test of time, but Digital Leisure kind of flubbed this version by overpricing it at ten bucks and trying to make it "new tech" by adding useless Kinect controls.
    • 39 Metascore

    If you haven’t had your fill of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, I’d recommend picking up Onechanbara for the absurd storyline and characters alone.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Battleship the Video Game is just as forgettable as the movie. It's lacking any sort of replay value, outside of hunting down little Battleship pegs or playing through on a harder difficulty – but why punish yourself? The graphics fail to deliver, as does the audio and the set-up.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 33 Critic Score
    If mind-numbingly easy repetition is what you enjoy in a game, knock yourself out.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 54 Critic Score
    Fails to deliver as both an action game and as a Thor game. Sega clearly put effort into incorporating Thor's background lore and they did an admirable job of incorporating a rogue's gallery pulled straight from the Marvel comics, but they ultimately failed in delivering a fun gaming experience. I cannot even recommend this game to fellow Thor fans, as the repetitive combat, unmemorable puzzles, and shoddy platforming prevent this adventure from even achieving rentable status.

    Kengo has the right idea, but fails miserably to deliver a solid experience, substituting game modes and substance with repetition.

    Rock Revolution is a disaster.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The game gets increasingly difficult, so much that you probably won't want to play through the game upon completing it once or twice except to snag some elusive achievements.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 35 Critic Score
    Quantum Theory can hardly be congratulated for infringing on other games, as it is hardly even capable of doing that properly. Albeit all attempts to be Gears of War, Quantum Theory is no more fun than burning $60 dollars and to be honest, burning money isn't exactly a lucrative or entertaining hobby.

    What at first sounds like 'fun for the whole family' turns out to be a bad case of 'fun for nobody.' Rocky And Bullwinkle is an unfortunate case of a good license slapped on a terrible excuse for a game.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 51 Critic Score
    With the wealth of FPS options for 360 owners, Battle For The Pacific is hardly worth a passing thought.

    • 52 Critic Score
    Bomberman Act: Zero has cleverly tricked me into thinking it was a full fledged triple-A title with its price tag of $50, but after playing the game for five minutes I realized that this game is more like something you would pay 400 Microsoft Points for to download off of the Xbox Live Arcade.

    Honestly, Fighters Uncaged simply isn't worth breaking a sweat over. You'd be better off facing a real challenge, like trying to play Super Street Fighter IV one-handed or trying to play the boxing game in Kinect Sports blind-folded. No one should subject himself or herself to the pain of Fighters Uncaged. Avoid it.

    Jumper's redeeming quality is its overwhelmingly easy Achievement Points. Be warned, however, this is no Avatar; you will have to play through the game to get all of them, perhaps even twice.

    To be completely honest and brutal, there is nothing to like about Box Office Bust. It is hard to find any game that is completely worthless, but this is thankfully one of a kind.

    This is one of the worst games of the year, and we're not even at the end of the first month yet. It's poorly realized and a huge technical failure, and no one – not even die-hard survival horror fans – should touch it. Someone banish this kid to a private school and never send her my way again.

    Let's Dance is a fun game that does what it sets out to do. The game provides a fun and friendly atmosphere that is great for parties with friends or even learning a few steps in private to take with you to the club.
