If you are a fan of the Armored Core series, AC V is a must have. You'll love the customization, multiplayer mode, and gameplay. If not a fan of the AC titles, I suggest not being intimidated and learn by doing. What is not in the tutorial is not impossible to learn, but takes patience. Playing the game will be rough at first, but after getting into the swing of things, you'll most likely end up enjoying it. Don't let the difficulty stop you. Grab a friend or mercenary and enjoy!

Parts frustrate, other parts satisfy; it's not for everyone. It is arguably a very niche title but it's not a sterile experience akin to a full on flight sim, however, Birds of Steel leans more that way than being a pick up and play, arcadey title. If you're interested in this genre you'll enjoy the experience, but if it's not something you'd be interested in normally then it's probably not for you. Gaijin have done well with this title. It seems to tick all the right boxes but don't expect to have to fight off the masses to get a copy.

It could be a very good game and although it's not specifically been done before it just seems to defeat itself. It's neither a RTS nor a Tower defense game. Defenders of Arcania doesn't do either really well and it doesn't know what it wants to be which is a shame really.

There really isn't much more to say about MLB 2K12. It is basically last year's version of the game albeit with a few minor improvements.

Overall, Digital Extremes has created a sequel to a game they did not make and have successfully made it their own. The Darkness 2 is built on strong foundations, bringing you an experience that is not weakened by half arsed values (with exception to the multiplayer). If you enjoy being led down a corridor blasting everything that gets in your way all the while being given a little sprinkle of RPG style level unlock mechanics then you will not be disappointed by this trip into The Darkness.

Gotham City Impostors looks like it was initially designed to be a "freemium" title and then somewhere along the line they decided to charge for it.

If you are a Need for Speed fan, or a racing fan in general, I would recommend checking this title out. You might want to rent it first though to make sure you enjoy what the game has to offer before spending your hard earned cash.

Dead Island is a really big game and gamers who enjoy open world titles with a ton of missions should really have fun here.

Overall the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection is only ten dollars and is a great deal for that price.

So if you are a FPS fan, a F.E.A.R. nut or merely someone who loves their gore, then pick up F.E.A.R. 3 – you'll have a bloody good time.

However, not many game companies have taken the risk to make a shooter that is as near to realistic as possible, and Red River is not too far from the mark. So if you want a shooter that will challenge you then pick up Operation Flashpoint Red River and lock and load, oorah!

Duke is a competent shooter, however, it didn't grow with the times.

Overall, Brink was a disappointment.

The best thing to do is download the free demo and try it out yourself. If you end up liking it then wait for when it is on sale. Otherwise, simply go back to your shooter of choice and have fun.

Overall, Body and Brain Connection isn't a horrible game but it does have quite a few problems. Your enjoyment of this game will depend on how you can deal with those problems and whether you can overcome them.

Mindjack is a bit of a mixed bag. I really like the concept but I hated the execution of the game.

Overall, Breach had a lot promise but technical shortcomings ruin the experience.

Front Mission Evolved is an enjoyable third person action title.

Overall Hydrophobia is one of the best looking XBLA games that has been released on the system. That said it does have its share of issues that are hopefully ironed out if the game ever sees a sequel.

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a sold title. With that said, there are going to be some people that are disappointed that Neversoft didn't try to push the envelope with anything.

There are 19 levels, scattered with some fairly well structured puzzles, and it seems this will be the first of an intended episodic structure for future Blade Kitten games. Alas, poor Kitty, isn't quite cool enough to be cult, and the game can't quite pull itself up by its bootstraps playability-wise either.

In the end though, when I was done playing, I was satisfied overall with the experience.

This game could have been a lot more fun if a couple of tweaks were made in certain key areas.

If the development team had tightened up the controls and the gunplay this could have been a really fun title.

It is definitely showing its age in some respects as the developers didn't do a whole lot of improvements when they were porting it to the Xbox360. With that said though there aren't a whole lot of games like this on the Xbox360.

There are some really good things about this game. Unfortunately they are marred by other aspects of the game which are a technical mess.

Overall if you are a fan of the Dead to Rights series be sure to check this game out. If you are brand new to the series you should definitely give this title a shot to see if you like it, however, rent before you buy.

Needless to say, if you’ve still got a lot of fond memories of the original Perfect Dark and your clunky old N64, try the demo at least – you might still love it despite its rather old-fashioned look and feel.

Metro 2033 is a title that fans of the genre should definitely give a try. It does have some issues but I enjoyed my experience overall.

The star of the game though is undoubtedly the setting, and though I’ve enjoyed Bioshock 2 a lot less than the first game I am pretty sure that if 2K have got a third game in mind, I’ll be unable to resist the temptation to go back to Rapture once more.

Overall Dante’s Inferno is a pretty fun game. There is nothing really great about it, however, I enjoyed my time with the title.

Overall Matt Hazard Blood Bath and Beyond is a pretty fun title. Whether you like this game or not will depend on whether you enjoyed similar titles like this back in the day.

Overall Alien Breed Evolution is a pretty good title on XBLA, however, it isn’t great. Your experience with this title is going to depend on how you feel about these types of games.

Diner Dash is a classic title and a great addition to XBox Live Arcade.

The idea for Tony Hawk RIDE has merit, it just wasn’t executed very well in this instance.

Overall, I had a lot of fun with Lego Rock Band. Although there should be more music and modes on the disc, the ones that are on there are fantastic.

Overall CSI Deadly Intent doesn’t do anything groundbreaking, however, it is a fun title.

Overall Fairytale Fights has a unique premise and quite a bit of potential. Unfortunately lackluster execution on a couple of key features detracts from the experience.

Overall existing Bakugan fans should have fun with this title. If you aren’t a Bakugan fan or card games aren’t your thing then this title probably won’t change your mind.

Overall, If you are over seven years old you really don’t need to play this game unless you want to get a quick 1,000 points added to your gamerscore.

Overall, if you like point and click adventure games, then I definitely reccommend giving this one a try.

Overall, Cars Race O Rama is simply another licensed game. There isn’t anything that will keep a hardcore gamer interested, however, the younger audience will probably love this title, especially if they are a fan of the movie.

Overall, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising is a competent title, however, it fails to reach the great potential that it had.

Wet is definitely a competent shooter and hopefully it does well enough where Artificial Mind and Movement will get a chance at another title.

Overall, Section 8 is a competent shooter but there really isn’t anything amazing to speak of. If you are one of those people who are all about the multiplayer be sure to give this game a try.

Overall, Wolfenstein is a competent shooter. It doesn’t really do anything to break the mold, however, there are definitely some fun moments and you should enjoy going through the campaign.

Overall Turtles in Time can be a pretty fun title, however, it is incredibly short.

Die-hard fighting game fans only need apply.

Overall, Infernal: Hell’s Vengeance had a lot of potential that it just didn’t reach. If Playlogic had devoted the same energy on designing the game’s heart as it did creating its skin, they could very well have had a surprise, off-season hit. Instead, the game is best taken in short play sessions with countless pause-save breaks for sanity’s sake.

Additionally I could also see really big Transformers fans getting a kick out of playing this title. Just be sure to rent this title before you buy it so you know what you are getting in to. As for everyone else just spend this time catching up on some of your older games before we have more games than we know what to do with this fall.

It can be a little rough around the edges (some of the voice-over work stutters and cuts during scenes, and the framerate is atrocious at times, resembling a minimum-spec PC being forced to run a high-spec game on full detail settings) and it can be more embarrassing than funny at others, but there’s more than enough here for those hankering after a new point-and-click adventure game.

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about this game. It is a cash grab by Activision to see how much money they can still get out of the franchise.

It can become horribly repetitive as you progress through the game. As cool as that idea is they didn’t bother to take the concept any further leaving you doing the same thing over and over again.

Overall, this is definitely a fun game.

RPG games in the past had never been my bag, but lately I have enjoyed playing a steady stream of them and going back to how I opened this review and while I did state Sacred 2 is not perfect… in my view is certainly a game to consider and one you can have a lot of fun playing.

Overall X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a fun game.

Overall Godfather 2 is a Grand Theft Auto clone and a fairly mediocre one at that.

Overall Wheelman is a below average Grand Theft Auto clone.

A missed opportunity at what could have been a great game.

Overall MLB 2K9 is a definite improvement over MLB 2K8, yet there are still issues that need to be addressed.

Overall 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand is an enjoyable game.

When you consider that a fully fledged version of Battlefield 1943 will cost exactly the same as this when it releases later on in the year, Death Tank feels even more like it’s royally taking the mirth.

Overall X-Blades isn’t a horrible game, it is just repetitive.

Overall Lord of the Rings Conquest is a decent game.

A nice relaxing and simple XBLA title that shouldn't offend your Auntie Nellie, and has enough "one more go" appeal to see you right through to the end of the game. Not scintillating and exciting, but certainly not a lame duck either.

As with Assassin’s Creed before it, Prince of Persia suffers from being one of the best looking but worst playing titles on the 360.

If you are a fan of Square Enix and a role playing game fan than I would definitely give this game a try.

Overall this is a fun game. If you are a fan of this genre I would definitely give the game a try.

Need For Speed Undercover has a tremendous premise, however, it feels unfinished in certain areas.

Overall this is a competent fighting game.

All in all, if you had no love for Banjo Kazooie before, this won’t be the game to change your mind – and if you’re new to the characters and are looking for something creative to exercise your imagination on, this doesn’t quite cut the mustard.

If you don’t really care about the Civil War then just move along and go play a better shooter.

Overall this is a pretty average game.

To summarise, love the visuals and explore the fantastic gameworld Ubisoft have created but don’t expect anything ground-breaking or life-changing because this just isn’t as innovative as it wants to be.

If you are a parent looking for a title for your child, then I would definitely say to give this one a try. It has a vibrant, cartoon like appearance that many kids should appreciate.

Silent Hill: Homecoming is without doubt a good game, but it is let down by little problems here and there. The plot twists are generally quite easy to see coming but at least keep you interested, although the deviation from the original Silent Hill games will annoy a lot of people.

So in essence, the game saves itself a touch in multiplayer but if you’re already a massive fan of all things Dynasty Warriors / Orochi, or if you’re a recent platform convert from the Playstation 2 you might well find plenty here to entertain you.

Overall this is a series that has a lot of potential that wasn’t realized in this particular title.

Though the game may feel rushed in places, and very rough around the edges, it does exactly what you’d expect it to – builds on the original game’s idea of a free-roaming gun for hire selling their military expertise to the highest bidder.

Overall, it's a good quality title that does indeed deserve at least a look at the demo.

A brash precocious young upstart of a game kicking its ancestors in the shins impatiently but paying them just enough respect to be worth your time and money.

If you like driving games you'll probably be sold from the word go, but if you've ever enjoyed games like Burnout, Test Drive Unlimited or even some of the Need for Speed Hot Pursuit games, and you fancy a whole parcel of low-budget arcade action then this could be right up your alley.

For what it's worth though, if you gave me a straight choice between this and an absolutely 100% accurate clone of the original, complete with the same sound effects, jaunty tunes and gameplay I'd choose the original Commando every time.

Even too much of a good thing can end up ruining a nice little niche genre, so perhaps if there's one serious criticism to make of Ticket to Ride, it's that it could be one title too many for even the most fervent train fan or board game fanatic.

As film licences go though, WALL-E definitely errs on the side of average and doesn't have enough going for it to work as a standalone title in its own right, leaning far too heavily on its source material and the hope that fans of the flick will pick it up rather than the game attracting players looking for something that little bit different.

Not a game, more a visual toy to keep your wee ones amused but without returning to the same tired old grumble about Xbox Live Arcade titles, 800 points is too high a price for the Xbox equivalent of an interactive screensaver.

It's a little too short on long term appeal, and overpriced too but playing a lunatic science geek hell bent on bringing the world to its knees is always fun so some arcade fans may find a fair bit of enjoyment here.

All in all, approach "The Incredible Hulk" game for what it is, and don't expect miracles even though smashing things never really goes out of fashion and never proves to be anything less than fun.

Overall this game is a fun experience. It is definitely one of the better games that is tied in with a movie.

If you are a fan of the Penny Arcade comics you should definitely enjoy your time in New Arcadia.

Not ground breaking or genre-busting but certainly not completely hideous.

The beauty of Lost Cities is that it’s so tough when you first start out that when you do start to win rounds and rack up those (rather tough and daunting) achievements, you realise that you’re completely and totally addicted.

Slapdash games have produced a pleasing enough title, one that might have rabid Tetris fans foaming at the mouth in anticipation but in all honesty it’s really nothing new or novel, and nothing you haven’t seen a thousand times before.

So in essence then, Dark Sector contains some good ideas, some quite obviously stolen ones and for a game that has spent 4 years in development it feels a tiny bit disappointing and seriously lacking in fine tuning or play-testing.

Viking: Battle for Asgard may lack a bit of spit and polish in places, but the combat is incredibly addictive despite its relative simplicity.

Uncomplicated, and great for younger gamers and Sega fanboys alike. Instantly playable and with plenty to wave your racket at.

Overall it's a decent effort but disappointingly there are only six missions/episodes in the game which can feel like it's all over just as you're just getting into it.

If you are new to the series then I would say that this is the title you should test to see if you are a lover or hater… but if you have been here before and left last time with disappointment, then nothing much has changed.
