While Codemasters did lean more towards attracting casual players with F1 2012, we can't help but feel that those most familiar to the series – or the sport in general – will be better catered by it.

Worth the investment to both appreciate its unique graphical style and just plain have fun beating the ever-loving snot out of pitied fools, made all the more visceral from first-person.

Even with the lack of multiplayer and some occasionally repetitive gameplay, Lollipop Chainsaw is a sleazily good plate of video game junk food, one with all sorts of carnage and hotness to go around.

While the overall look and feel of the game is certainly next generation, the lack of some industry standard play modes has caused us some head scratching.

London 2012 is a nice step forward for Olympic games, and it's got us wondering just what Sega will do next when the 2014 Winter Olympics come about. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

While it won’t blow your mind away, it’ll at least make you appreciate your Xbox 360 a little more than you did the day before.

Though some of the puzzles are unnerving and the lack of online play is noticeable, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes still stands as one of the better efforts from the team at Travellers Tales.

Newcomers will find tons to enjoy here, with countless hours of replay value, and over the top action that will make you wonder why you haven't checked the series out before. The only faults to be found here are that none of the FMVs in the game have been altered, making their low-resolution compression look extremely out of place.

Visually, this is the best Resident Evil to date, but some might agree it's a bit too far over the top.

How to Train Your Dragon plays like it has the potential to be a great family game as well as one of the better movie tie-ins releasing this year, especially for the fantasy-driven children in your family.

Along with the great stage design, Raskulls also has excellent character design.

Despite its flaws, Lost Odyssey is hands-down the best turn-based RPG on Xbox 360.

Disney Interactive Studios' Pure is still the front-pack leader when it comes to dirt-racing greatness in video games, but if there were room for a close second place candidate, Nail'd easily takes that spot. What the game lacks in complexity, it makes up for with thrill-a-minute racing action and a slick presentation.

The repetition may test your ability to keep your controller from flying across the room but the patience pays off when you finish that hard-ass scene without one strike against you, and the director comes up tossing smiles and praises your way.

It is very nice to know that RTS games are very much so playable on the 360, and this can only mean that the trend will be upward.

While I may not look back at it much in the coming years, right here and now, Majin is easily one of favorites of 2010 easily worth the measly $40 it takes to lock down one of the best buddy/puzzle games I've played all year.

The minor tweaks and abundant features packed into this game make it worth the upgrade, at least for hardcore fans of the sport and those who can't live without seeing their beloved team take it all. The online functionality is still surprisingly vast, and the other modes, though mostly unchanged, will certainly keep you busy until Madden's arrival, and maybe even beyond that

A bad game it isn't, it just takes time to adjust to. Once you get the hang of abilities and figure out the right tempo for puzzle solving, you're in for one moderately enjoyable trek.

SFII:HF really does bring you back to the good ol’ days, and with new arcade classics being re-introduced every week with Xbox Live Wednesdays, Microsoft really is letting the good times roll!

There are some slight issues here that weigh the game down, and, let's face it, D3 Publisher wasn't looking to dethrone any kings. Now, that said, it's a romp and a half, a bug-killing fest that has plenty of destructive flair to spare.

Doesn't take huge strides to be the best game in the series, and could use several tweaks – namely AI and visuals – in an upcoming patch. That said, as the default baseball title for Xbox 360, it's a good one, and fans should immediately invest.

Fundamental to those dedicated enough to play it, but I can clearly see why Konami's still running behind EA Sports, due to the dated content and the small pieces of sloppiness in the presentation.

Tony Hawk is finally moving in a good direction again, and that's enough to give Pro Skater HD a solid thumbs up. Perfect it's not, but it retains a lot of the goodness that made the original games such a hit, and for us, close definitely counts.

The quirky, lovable design and mounting (but never frustrating) gameplay will keep you coming back until the quest is finished, and the touches of humor spread throughout make it a lighthearted romp for all ages to enjoy.

This year’s installment however will not disappoint as 2K Sports have made numerous adjustments and added several features that makes this installment a true contender in this year’s NBA title bout.

The game has been made less-realistic in an effort to appeal to a younger demographic and I applaud Activision for this decision.

Overall the different modes and multiple options make Juiced 2 my favorite racing game on the Xbox 360 of this style. It doesn’t compare to PGR4 or Forza but it is not meant to.
