    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.

    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.

    Full Auto could have been much more than the measly arcade shooter it is. It doesn’t have a soul like I thought it would have.

    Like a boring, lazy summer time day, where all you do is sit around and drink lemonade but there is no lemonade with Crystal Quest.

    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.

    The price is right, and the game is a fantastic history lesson in shooters.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    It isn’t quite the best puzzle game out there, but if you want something completely different then it might be right up your alley.
    • 62 Metascore

    If you are really into strategically thinking board games, or already into Backgammon then this is the perfect game for you. It has some pretty good single player, and even better Xbox Live play.

    You can definitely find better options on your computer for free, so unless you are feinting for a Spades title on your TV, or are hardcore into Hearts, you might want to look elsewhere.

    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.

    A great game that is extremely hardcore, and for only five bucks it is just cheap enough for newcomers try.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 28 Critic Score
    The only saving grace of the game is the leader boards, the ability to play with another player on your system, or online. Still, it is a pretty boring proposition and most billiards fans will probably get rather annoyed by the game.

    If puzzle games are your thing, it is definitely worth it. Otherwise the price may be to steep for you to warrant a buy.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    The game is priced right at 400 points (or $5) but then again, you can find "Midway Arcade Classic" titles in bargain bins for $10, and they include more.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Amazing fun, with fantastic but simple visuals that anybody can get into, but not everyone can be good at.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Joust is a pretty good game, but it is strictly only for those who were actually gaming when the game was still out in the arcades, and at 400 points or five bucks you can’t go wrong.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Visually the game has a gelled look to it, with very balloony environments, that are pretty unique. The only bad thing about Mutant Storm is that it is 800 points, or ten bucks when a slightly better and similar game, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is 400 points, or five bucks.

    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.

    • 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
    • 79 Critic Score
    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.

    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The strange thing is, there is something different about this one, like it was a bit rushed, and that doesn’t reward you at all.
    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    The A.I. in the game is alarmingly bad sometimes though, and you can score against A.I. opponents like a hot knife cutting through butter, or is that ice?
