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 your other half is anything like mine, this type of game is like catnip to ‘em so if you don’t want to lose your 360 for hours at a time, best to keep this one quiet.

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.

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.

There is so much to do in Smackdown vs Raw 2010 that you will be kept busy for a very long time and it is well worth the price of admission.

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.

An unsettling horror-laden rollercoaster ride of a game, and possibly a contender for "best sequel of the year so far". Don't play it alone at night without a change of underwear!

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.

Innovative, extremely slick and thoroughly enjoyable. If you fancy something that feels like a gamer’s game, and are tired of disappointingly shallow XBLA releases, then Darwinia + should be on the top of your purchase list.

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.

Thoroughly recommended for plank stompers everywhere.

Ultimately, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a game for the nerdiest RPG aficionado AND the regular Joe who wants just a splash of fantasy. Featuring wonderfully original graphics, gameplay that is fun and approachable, and a story that entertains without entrapment, this game is definitely worth a spin. But even in light of all it does right, Amalur's greatest accomplishment is boasting a very complex and intricate game while giving the appearance of something straightforward and effortless.

Remedy has a masterpiece with Alan Wake and with each new installment I enjoy the universe more and more.

Overall, Lazy Raiders is definitely a fun title.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Overall, Skylanders Spyro's Adventure is a really fun title. The game is aimed at a younger demographic and kids should have a lot of fun with this adventure. If you are a Spyro fan you should still play this game no matter how old you are. If the game is properly marketed by Activision I can see this becoming a hot item for kids this holiday season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Gunstringer is a fantastic title and definitely one of my favorite titles for Kinect. I was impressed with how well it controlled and how the whole package came together. It has the standard Twisted Pixel humor throughout the game so if you have enjoyed their previous titles then you should enjoy this one as well.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Even if you have grown tired of World War II be sure to give this game a try as the whole squad mentality does tend to change things up a bit. It is an enjoyable title that every fan of the genre should experience.

Overall a pleasing little game even for a complete novice such as myself, but there are a couple of jarring annoyances here and there dropping the score a notch.

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

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.

The high replay value is central to The Club’s game play mechanic, as is the ability to play online with other people. Perfectly suited to those late night, competitive sessions where you fight to achieve the highest score.

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.

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

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

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a really fun title.

The Signal downloadable content is essentially a brand new episode for you to go through and enjoy. The great work that Remedy did with the original game was definitely brought over to The Signal.

Overall, this is a fantastic off road racing title.

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

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.

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

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.

Whether you want a blast from the past or an introduction to the genre, Hard Corps Uprising is worth a shot.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

SBK X is a fantastic racing title from Deep Silver.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is clearly the best Lego game to date.

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

An excellent throwback to arcade games when we loved them the most: terribly difficult, oozing charm and Eastern art and level design.

For short sharp bursts though CAOTG is quite a neat little strategic title let down by a succinct lack of depth and some naff presentation here and there.

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 this is a competent fighting game.

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

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.

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.

The original GoldenEye came out on the Nintendo 64 many years ago and GoldenEye 007 Reloaded is a worthy successor. The development team over at Eurocom did a fantastic job bringing the game into 2011 and the game is still fun to go through.

The cooperative system that EA have put in place works, and looks superb in action. Add to that, the fact that the enemy AI is intelligent and is not just going to roll over and die, and the fact that you can spend just as much time modifying weapons as you can do playing the game.

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.

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 Shank is one of the best beat 'em up titles to come out in a long time

If you are a WWE fan then this game belongs in your library. If you aren't a WWE fan you should definitely still check out this title. Even if you have no interest in watching the product on television this is a really fun title that you might find yourself enjoying. This is a title that has something for everyone. Be sure not to miss out.

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

To summarise then, all the ingredients for a shooter are here, but they've been cooked at the wrong gas mark for a ludicrously short time resulting in a shoot 'em up pie that's only half baked and lacks the tasty moreishness that any good game in the genre should have from the word go.

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

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.
