If you were a wrestling fan at any point in your life then you need to have this game in your library.

As I mentioned above, Rage runs incredibly smooth on the 360 and it is definitely one of the most beautiful games to hit the console. I enjoyed the variety the gameplay had to offer and I thought the game was paced pretty well. Id Software has created a fun new universe and I can't wait to experience the next chapter.

If you are a WWE fan or a wrestling fan in generally you owe it to yourself to check out this title. You won't be disappointed and you'll be surprised how much fun it is to throw your friends over the top rope.

Overall I have had a lot of fun with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13. Despite my complaint about the way some of the courses are handled this is a great golfing title.

Overall de Blob 2 is a fantastic title. It took the concepts from its predecessor and expanded upon them with great results.

I thought the game's pacing was good and I never got bored going through the campaign. I think the weapon variety helped with that as well as the fact that half way through the campaign I was still learning new ways to take out my opponent.

Saints Row The Third is a tremendous amount of fun.

Overall FIFA Street is a fantastic title for those who are looking to get their soccer fix.

The action is fast, brutal and completely absurd, the story a blend of Asian mythology and Sci-Fi epic. If you like action in its purest form or are partial to enjoying anime then Asura's Wrath is something you will not want to miss!

SBK X is a fantastic racing title from Deep Silver.

Mirror’s Edge seems to be yet another game marking EA’s gaming renaissance. Rather than churning out endless sequels, it’s encouraging to see that they’re willing to take a leap of faith (pardon the pun) and let ace developers such as DICE try out new IPs and ideas.

In fact it just goes to show that quality titles can be brought back from the dead and released on XBLA, and with a whole slew of fantastic titles waiting in the wings from the Dreamcast's back catalogue let's hope that releases like SoulCalibur HD are the shape of things to come, and we can dispense with all that nasty shovelware that's blighted the marketplace recently once and for all.

Overall UFC 2009 Undisputed is a fantastic title. If you are a UFC fan you owe it to yourself to at least try this game out.

Your enjoyment of Battlefield 3 will be dependent on what you want out of it. If you are the type of gamer who only wants to play the game for its story then I would highly suggest you rent this game first so that you know what you are getting in to. The multiplayer is really where the fun is here and if you have been a fan of the franchise in the past then you should have a great time here.

Overall, Transformers: War For Cybertron is a fun title. I was a little nervous when I heard about yet another Transformers title but High Moon Studios has done a tremendous job here.

In the end, Band Hero is a lot of fun. Your enjoyment of this title will depend on the track list.

Overall, Lazy Raiders is definitely a fun title.

This is one of those games where it can be a lot of fun to play with your friends and relive the experience that you had in arcades years ago.

Nevertheless, it’s one of the best retro retreads you can find on XBLA and Tozai should be applauded for doing the original game justice without trying to get too clever with it.

Despite some of the flaws the game has I had a really great time going through it.

At full price it’s definitely a case of try before you buy but if you’re like me and you like a game to offer plenty of content and longevity then you might find what you’re looking for, particularly if you liked the original Saints Row.

If you are a fan of the series or of j-rpg’s in general be sure to try this one out.

If you enjoyed the movies Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace then I would definitely recommend giving this game a try.

If you are a fan of the rhythm genre I would say to definitely give this game a try. If you are a music aficionado then I would definitely recommend giving the music studio feature a try. There is definitely something for everyone.

Overall, Army of Two The 40th Day is a much more polished experience than the first game and greater care was exercised in trying to address the concerns everyone had from the original title.

The DMC series was and is still worth your time. If you haven't played these gems then you have no excuse, as for the first time Xbox 360 players have it. The HD remake looks lush.

Overall Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is still a fantastic fighter.

When most companies try to mix a bunch of different genres into one title it usually results in a complete mess. Double Fine did a fantastic job of balancing it here though and everyone should find something to like in this title, regardless of their favorite genre.

The game may feel like it’s treading an extremely well-worn path but with a plethora of races on offer, so many customisation options and a superb online mode, Midnight Club L.A sets a high standard for other street racers to follow, and EA’s Need for Speed could have a lot of catching up to do.

Overall, Petroglyph have proved that console-based RTS games can work successfully. PC owners might not think that there's much to crow about but for 360 owners this is a genuine step forward.

The multiplayer is fun when you can connect, the Achievements are fun to get and you should definitely enjoy the single player story. You will only wish it was longer and had a little more to it.

A breath of fresh air to see a vertical scrolling shooter that actually adapts to the players skill set.

The Ghost Recon series has changed over the years and if you are fan of what Ghost Recon used to be then this isn't the game for you. For others you'll find a fun shooter that you can enjoy with friends.

A good game, but there is definite room for improvement. It is a good jumping off point for a potential sequel.

Overall Guitar Hero Metallica is a fun game. If you are a fan of Metallica you should definitely pick it up as this game is total fan service.

Be sure you don’t miss out on this trip down memory lane.

The few bugs and annoyances you’ll encounter are vastly outweighed by the amount of fun you can have with this, so strap on your grapple arm and get busy!

Exit 2 is as nicely presented here as it was on the PSP, and it’s the perfect fodder for the Xbox Live arcade.

Overall, Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team is a fun title. If you are a fan of the Warhammer universe you should have fun controlling the Space Marines and if you aren't familiar with the franchise you should still have fun killing a lot of enemies and blowing stuff up.

This title does do a tremendous job of showcasing how brutal nature can truly be and the helplessness that you feel when you can't do anything about it. If you are a fan of "god" games then I urge you to give From Dust a chance.

Thoroughly recommended for plank stompers everywhere.

If you are an MMA fan be sure to give this title a shot. If you aren't an MMA fan then you should still give this game a chance because it can be a good fighting game too.

The game is a lot of fun and there is something satisfying about shooting your enemy out of the air and watching a big mid-air explosion.

Take it for what it is and you will enjoy it. Back in the days of some of these games the plot lines and depth of gameplay weren't there, it was just pure unadulterated entertainment. That remains today, just don't expect Mass Effect 3 storylines or Gears of War visuals. Just pick up the gamepad and enjoy.

It’s certainly not perfect, but the impressive visuals, straightforward yet complex gameplay and range of different game types ensure there’s something for everyone to get their teeth into.

So far the Xbox Live Arcade has treated us to some stunning games this year, and Scrap Metal is no exception. Tons of fun in single and multiplayer, and beautifully put together (there’s even a 3D Anaglyph mode if you’re the sort of person who can stand to play 3D games without developing a blinding headache).

A thrilling ride hampered by some original but overall annoying design choices.

Nail'd doesn't have all the hype that some of the recent releases have enjoyed but it is just as much fun.

The look and feel of Naruto is spot on and coupled with gaming moments such as being able to leap from branch to branch with timed button presses and looking sexy as hell in the process, then moments like in the heat of battle pulling off an amazing jutsu, make this game what it is.

A really fun title. I enjoyed the western setting as well as a couple of the twists that were in the story. In addition the fact that I can go through the campaign a second time and get a slightly different view of events is a great idea.

Where Blur scores highly is in the variety of races and the challenges you'll find at each tier of the game's career mode.

Despite the complaints that I mentioned above if you are a fan of Alan Wake then you should really play this game. It is a beautiful looking title and Remedy has raised the bar for XBLA games going forward. You really should play the original first though so that you can properly grasp what is going on and what Alan is fighting against.

To round off, as a game in itself, Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a fantastic game, even for people who haven't seen the movies.

Overall this is a fun title to play this holiday season. While I had fun going through the campaign and seeing how the story unfolded I still prefer the modern warfare setting and weapons.

Nice as it is to see old Atari VCS titles revived and preserved, give me a stonking slice of beat ‘em up action like Final Fight every time.

This is more of a game for hardcore fans I will suggest, and those fans will love this. However casual gamers should not hold back and give this a try, there is a highly addictive nature to it that most will like.

Anomaly Warzone Earth was a fun game when it came out last year for the PC and the development team has done an exceptional job bringing it over to the Xbox 360.

It is always fun to play as Master Chief and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is a good way to spend some of your gaming time until Halo 4 hits next year.

Overall, I personally had a lot of fun with this title. What kept me going through this game was the humor I found throughout the game whether I was at my base or plowing through an episode.

Fans of the previous Lego efforts are going to be in hog heaven with this one.

Overall, Madden NFL 11 is a really fun title. As I outlined above it does have its share of issues, however, when you look at the experience as a whole you should have a lot of fun here.

Button bashers and proficient veteran ninja's alike will find this a worthy reason to revisit the Naruto universe.

The mechanics of the game are such that both newcomers and seasoned veterans should be comfortable in the ring. For the more hardcore player you can manage a fighter in Legacy mode or go online and challenge the world. For the more casual fan they will get a kick out of Champion mode as well challenging their friends to a bout.

Shuggy is able to take a gamer back to their roots of gaming, with a fun and jazzy soundtrack and brilliantly bright colours in a much more simplistic looking environment as opposed to today's games. Shuggy offers a nostalgic journey to the past in a game that is both addictive and enjoyable to the end.

Generally speaking Dead Space is a fantastic experience.

While it still has some problems it is a much better title than the original and is a step in the right direction.

While the gameplay does tend to get a bit repetitive at the end kids should have fun controlling their favorite characters throughout the whole adventure.

Overall, if you are into this type of game than Battlestations Pacific will be a tremendous title.

When you’re in those tween-game moments where you need an ocean of calm, and you can’t afford your own personal masseuse or steam bath, Chime is the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern gaming.

If you are already a Madden fan you will enjoy this title. If not, rent before you buy.

If you were a fan of the original I would definitely say to download this sequel and enjoy. If you are new to the series, download the demo and you will be hooked in no time.

This is a casual golf title that everyone can enjoy.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is a memorable title during a summer of incredible arcade games.

Overall though this is a great game and a great RTS for consoles. Be sure to give this game a try.

Overall I enjoyed my time with Alien Breed 2: Assault. It's a fun title to go through and going through it with a friend only increases the fun factor.

The world may still be waiting for the perfect gritty World War 1 game, but Toy Soldiers is a rollickingly entertaining game, superbly produced and definitely one of the high points of the XBLA releases seen so far this year.

In essence then, the utterly superb gameplay and unrivalled feel of this iteration of the Street Fighter series makes it a nigh-on essential purchase, despite the slightly naff reworked graphics.

It's tough at times, and some moments will have you gnashing your teeth in frustration in the early stages of the game when Chuck has less health and inventory slots to play with. But stick with it, and soon you'll be sucked into a world of zombies, sinister plots and downright good gory fun.

If you’re a hardcore golf gamer then it is worth going out and picking up the game, the same applies for if you’re a US Open and USGA Championship nut who welcomes the inclusion of the prestigious tournaments in the game. Otherwise, rent the game and then see what you think.

This was a great Bond adventure with some classic Bond moments.

EA has kept the base of the popular game from the nineties and given it a modern twist which works. In a time where there are a plethora of first person shooters it's difficult to really stand out from the rest and it would be a lie to say it's a ground breaker but if you're tired of Modern Warfare and just want an enjoyable and rewarding experience then try Syndicate. You won't be disappointed.

I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend this game to anyone who faithfully follows the televised wrestling bouts, as once again THQ and Yukes have delivered a punishing final blow to anyone else even considering developing a wrestling title.

Ikaruga on XBLA is a smooth, fantastic looking version of the game.

If you are a fan of platforming titles then you really should play this game. Don't let it slip under your radar and be sure to be careful the next time you are eating candy…unless you want to deal with evil, deranged candy out to get you.

All told though it's a solid performer, typical EA fare really, but that's just its problem. Yes it's a decent game; yes the graphical representations of the characters are excellent, yes in the main it does what you tell the game to and the controls are easy to follow after a game or so but it's just missing that something special.

If you are on the fence about this game I would definitely suggest that you rent it before you buy it. If you happen to be a big fan of the franchise then there should be enough here to satisfy you as long as you like fighting online.

Overall, Space Ark is an enjoyable title and a great addition to Xbox Live Arcade. It’s a new take on an old formula and the developer has succeeded in creating a enjoyable title.

Get past the fact that a lot of problems Madden has had for years are still there and you should have a great time with Madden NFL 12.

Two Worlds II is a pretty amazing turnaround from the first game so please don't let the reputation of the original title keep you from this game. Be sure to try it out for yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised.

This is a great family title if you are a parent who is concerned about some of the more violent titles on the market. If you are a fan of the film (or have kids that are) be sure to give this game a shot.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

FIFA Street 3 dazzles like thrift-store bling round a pit bull terrier’s neck. Shallow but reasonably satisfying, the best is still yet to come from the FIFA Street series.

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