    It certainly ranges from being far too easy, to extremely difficult, especially for the newer Poker players.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    At the end of the game, the final character that is unlocked, has a terrible power, and a strength that can only be matched by the last enemy, and that is why it is worth playing to the last minute.

    The controls are iffy at best. The d-pad on the Xbox 360 controller isn’t suited for 2d gaming. It’s definitely harder to perform Ryu’s fireballs, Sagat’s leaping uppercut, and Guile’s sonic boom with the d-pad that is offered.

    The very best Live Arcade title to be released so far. Its simple but intuitive gameplay with have a gamer of any age hooked for quite sometime, and it was re-written the book on how to make your game original and innovative.

    The story may not be all that, but the presentation is pretty good and the graphics certainly aren't shabby, especially the outdoor environments with the bloom lighting.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The story, the graphics, and the audio are all there and really not that bad but, they just can't stand up to the very impressive gameplay.

    With no actual way of finishing the game, Gamers can find hundreds and hundreds of things to do, and still not be able to put it down. [Beta review: to be updated]

    All in all Dreamfall: The Longest Journey is an adventure that everyone should definitely look into just because of how amazingly well done the characters and the story are.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    I am going to play this on Xbox Live to death.

    With all the gameplay mechanics still there, and good graphics, PAM have offered a ‘faster’ sequel, and one that should not be passed up.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The game overall has a sort of gloom to it that you would expect from a game based on mafia families, and while at times the visuals of the current-gen systems can show there age, for a game as big as this, it is quite impressive.

    Oblivion is so deep it is hard to escape its grasp. Few things keep it down, such as loading times, and a few problems with visuals and sound, but the gameplay, the most important piece is dead-on.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The RTS share is fun fun fun! The single-player is inexcusable.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Sure the controls are a little clunky and the soundtrack is awkward, but Advanced Warfighter shines on the 360 with it's graphics.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A fantastic title that delivers what people expect in presentation and gameplay—nothing more nothing less.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Black holds a very well done audio and visual presentation but quickly fails in gameplay and story which drags it down to "just another" FPS.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Fight Night is a fantastic game that even after the short career mode, will keep you going with it’s hard hitting and intense multiplayer.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Visually the game is very crisp, clean, and quite frankly the best-looking Live Arcade title we have seen yet.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It is definitely the finest of the series, and is an achievement with the online modes, and the best looking fighter out on the market to date. It isn’t exactly for everyone though, as it can be difficult in single and multiplayer portions of the game.

    Story wise, The Two Thrones wraps up the Prince's tale with killer progression and the ending everyone has been waiting for. The game play is the best of best yet again and truly redefines the action-adventure genre of today, paving a path for greatness to come.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Amazing fun, with fantastic but simple visuals that anybody can get into, but not everyone can be good at.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It is a welcomed change from the other Xbox Live Arcade games, and despite the difficulty of the game in later levels in has an addictive, almost municipal quality to it.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Zuma Deluxe is a enjoyable and hearty title, and the perfect time killer.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The game is too short but for how much you put into it, you'll get a lot out of the experience.
    • 75 Metascore

    Quake IV needs co-op badly. It needed splitscreen badly too. What we are stuck with is 2-8 players on system link and on Xbox Live.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    It just doesn’t feel like the huge leap it could have been, but it is still a pretty good experience while it last.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A fantastic game, with a few shortcomings that keeps it from being the "Halo" of the Xbox 360 launch.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It allows up to sixteen players to take the battle online and delivers on all accounts a satisfying WWII shooter. If you do happen to have Xbox Live (which I hope every Xbox 360 owner at least attempts to get), go immediately to the ‘headquarters’ mode and play that to death.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Condemned is going to stay in my 360 collection forever. It will always creep me out and Monolith did an excellent job with the game.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It is the perfect blend of style, substance, visuals, and sound you will find on any system... but you will blow through the game very quickly, it is a bit on the easy side sometimes, and without HDTV you can’t truly experience it.
