    The changes to the graphics showed significant improvement as well. Hopefully next year there will be some great draft picks and continued improvements.

    It’s simply a real hockey fans dream game.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Hands down this has to be the worst game I have seen on any Xbox system.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There is no sugar coating it: Madden 07 is not the Madden die-hard fans expected. However, it shows big changes overall from last year’s version and for that I give the team credit.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    NCAA 07 certainly has the right idea and just needs to be slightly tweaked and a bit more balanced.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The fact that up to 20 players can compete against each other at one time with no lag is impressive.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The spirit-walking and the gravity-changing was a great idea. For a week rental, this one is great but unless you’re the type of gamer that loves death matches, most will play it once, beat it and then let it sit for awhile before wanting to play it again.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    This is a great MotoGP game loaded with game modes. No one is going to breeze through the classes or unlock every achievement quickly. It’s a game that will take anyone a long time to beat.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It captures everything that makes the game fun as well as frustrating and is certainly worth every penny.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 56 Critic Score
    While I can appreciate trying to take the series in a new direction, it just does not work well at all. Comic book games work best when fans feel like they are in the world and in complete control. This one takes that away right from the start. What is left is a long “Brawler” instead of the first next-gen comic-themed game that allows fans to be part of the action. At best this one is a week rental even for die hard fans.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is a great looking wrestling game but focuses a little too much on the eye candy and not enough of the real wrestling angle.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    There is a real strategy in playing the game the right way and with every action comes a reaction which is perhaps the best part of the game.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    There is so much you can do on this game that will keep any player coming back for more even after you have completed the main quest.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    An achievement in tactical first person shooters. Ubisoft did a great job balancing the intense action on the screen with the high tech gadgetry needed to make it through in one piece.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Burnout Revenge will take days to beat and maybe longer in the single-player. Throw in the achievements and the game really is loaded with replay value.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Black is a great stress reliever and a great game to destroy and blow things up. It takes thinking and skill to get through certain points.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    I never thought after the first attempt I could be open minded but this is a major improvement.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Fight Night 3 is loaded with replay since you can retire a fighter and change weight classes and create a new boxer.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    Fans of combat and racing will enjoy it and it has some cool features and tough competition. It's just not the type of game that you will play for hours.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    You may need to be open minded to enjoy it and the story is a little far fetched but interesting. Overall, not a bad game.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It has that feeling of being more realistic and a wider range of controls.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    While the game would have benefited from more enhanced graphics and sound effects, it's a solid title. It's fun and addictive and offers a chance to not just complete the single player and be done but compete against friends and others in a faster paced setting.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    You may need to adjust your fighting style in the single-player mode to get the most out of this one but its fun and challenging. With a good online mode and lag free playing, this one is great for any fighting fan to pick up, just not as polished as some others.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The most impressive, realistic game I have seen in a long time. It won't dazzle you with graphics or great sound but it works together well.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The way they mixed in the Halo angle really made sense with the ongoing story and not just thrown in for the sake of a cheap promotion.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The Dark Prince probably could have been implemented better, as he can often be more of an annoyance rather than a joy to play with, which is fortunately countered by the downright coolness of the daggertail weapon.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Just downright fun and a blast to play.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The new courses, the chance to race online and the new cars make this one a must for any fan of the old Ridge Racing series.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A true next generation game let down with some very flimsy cut scenes and lack lustre storyline.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Not perfect but it is well done and provides enough tense moments that will mess with anyone's mind.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A step in the right direction for the series and certainly plays well enough on the 360.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The amount of cars to buy and collect is staggering. PGR 3 proves that sequels can be better if time is taken and its done right.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It does take time to learn the controls and coaching commands but it is worth the time.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Gun
    On the one hand, it's a great adventure game and yes certain areas could have been polished. The problem is that they only enhanced the graphics and the audio a bit for the 360 version. In other words, for those who already own it for the Xbox system, aside from enhanced graphics and 360 acievements there isn't much of a difference.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    Here is hoping the next one will feature a full franchise mode and is a little more polished overall.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    For the right gamers this one will provide laughter and the snowboarding experience, just not in the normal way you may be used to.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The solid story, the twists, the great graphics and excellent audio make this still a solid game and one that will remain in my 360 collection forever.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It looks amazing and shows promise. It can only get better and if they add a few things.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The levels were well thought out and most have more than one way through them which is refreshing to see.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    The load times are quick and the games are fun and are sure to bring back memories for those old enough to remember when they first were released.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    A very good game if you can get past things like the perspective issues and you don't mind dying often.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    It tends to follow a point A to B concept and the story needed more depth overall. Enjoyable and at times, very funny but mainly geared for fans of the series.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    You will also get frustrated that the A.I seems to have an advantage but that to some just makes it more of a challenge.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    I did miss Bam, because I thought the two fit together well. It may be time for the developers and Tony to give the series a rest and come back with something totally new.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    The amount of equipment and accessories to earn are impressive and the editor allowing you to change the playing fields is a nice touch and easy to use.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    I enjoyed playing the game again and seeing things that were not available the first time around.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Has a few balance issues but plays so well that no one will really care.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It has a deep story and a solid fighting engine.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    This one is fun and a blast to get out your frustrations, but the fun seems to stop sooner than I would have liked.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    It's just bogged down and tries too much to throw gamers into the story and then into the arcade style races. Players may enjoy this one as I did, but then may get bored and want more of a real racing game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Each event is well laid out and the voices, shortcuts and special snapshot opportunities will have fans saying wow.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Despite a few areas in the dynasty mode, the game is solid and well balanced.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The voice acting is outstanding and the missions were well thought out.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Although the camera does make a few of the levels a bit more frustrating, fans will still want to add it to their collection and those into turn base games may find Worms a refreshing break form the other games out there right now.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It's the solid gameplay and the balanced addition of a revamped game engine and player controls that makes this one a treat to play for fans of soccer.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I would have liked to see a few different modes or options on the online mode.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    This game has already proven itself popular on Xbox Live, and I've already spent the equivalent of days playing the predator mode.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 61 Critic Score
    You could spend hours playing Hydro Thunder and the two other Rush games alone.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I was looking forward to seeing the stealth genre taken in a new direction with Cold War. Sadly it didn't quite meet the expectations I had for it.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Yes, it is arcade-like, for some this may be a turnoff but throw in all the modes and the online aspect and this one has plenty to keep basketball fans happy.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    They attempted something risky and for the most part pulled it off well. I would have liked to see bigger levels.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's great to pop it in, play a battle and then save the game or keep going into the wee hours of the night.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The really interesting part of the story is the direct impact that your actions have on it. The choices you make during the game could make a substantial difference in the overall story.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A blast to play and features a story that has more twists and turns then any I have played before.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    This has to be one of the slickest, brutal, most breath taking games I have ever played! Frustration factor can be high when you start the game, but once you stop button mashing and start using the combo system as it was meant to be the game becomes very rewarding.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The new so called additions only result in a new way to exploit an aging game engine that has suffered from day one.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The controls are laid out well and you won't need a six button controller to be good at it.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I still wonder why Ninja Gaiden is missing and a few other games from the classic Tecmo days come to mind that should have been on this one.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    I loved the new challenges the multiple routes and the revenge weapons. I would have liked to see a version come out without any issue with the online mode but again the game is too good and it's something that will be fixed.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There is a ton of things to unlock in the way of interviews, trailers and other goodies in the game.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Lockdown really deserves two separate reviews; one for hardcore tactical shooter types of gamers, and another for run and gun gamers. While it would score well for the second group, the first group will be sorely disappointed by the game's transition to an arcade type shooter.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    NHL 06 may not have the right to claim the most improved version, however, it has tons of modes and the updated rules and players. It has great controls and adjusts to any skill level.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    While it suffers a bit, it does allow players to have more realistic controls and shots that were not there before.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    It would have been great if the first game did not have issues but it's not to the point that it will hurt the gameplay for fans.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    If there is just one more game you want to purchase before you get yourself an Xbox 360, make it Moto GP 3: Ultimate Racing Technology. Insane speed, fantastic competition and pounding sounds will make your heart beat just that little faster.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    The team control aspect does get addicting and hard to put down. The fact that the game can be adjusted for each level of experience is also an added bonus.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    I enjoyed the games and will play them again, but have seen Namco bring out better collections and know they can add special features, this has none of them included.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    I had a few laughs with Big Mutha Truckers 2, but even I had a hard time finishing. It shows that a game can go wrong when you try to change the best parts and this one had me shaking my head many times throughout the whole story.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The Hulk has always been described as an unstoppable force and this game really captures that experience. The controls do take a little getting used to but don't really have a negative impact on the game.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Great for fans who want to collect the better older games and be able to play them whenever they want without hooking up a Neo-Geo or finding an arcade that has this one in it.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    The new options certainly were needed but some may need to be tweaked a bit in future version to retain the true football gamers.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 62 Critic Score
    The game had the makings of a great game, but with its quirks and outdated look it is simply average at best.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    A credible tennis title not trying to compete with the cream of excellence in Tennis titles like "Top Spin," but instead aiming for a more crazy, fun loving audience which this game achieves when playing human opponents.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pirates is one of those games, like "GTA: San Andreas" or "Everquest," that eats into your life and stops you from being that social butterfly that you usually are.

    Football fans have begged for more options and features and the newest NCAA Football 06 delivers!
    • 62 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    While the game would have been better if it had less of that Beat-Em-Up element added, it still is entertaining and has some surprises.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The single player mode is challenging and fun but can be a little short depending on your skills at this type of game.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 71 Critic Score
    One of the most fun, enjoyable and hilarious games of the modern age and it's a crying shame to see such a rarity soiled by a few glaring issues.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    I wish the old Batmobile was unlocked and in the game but instead gamers will get to drive the prototype instead. For fans of Batman it is safe to say there is plenty of replay value.

    If only Juiced had come out last year rather than now, it would have been much better received and wouldn't have to compare to NFSU2, Forza and Burnout 3 to name a few.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The realistic feeling created in this game is something fans of war games should experience.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    Gamers will see that the load times are fast, the cut-scenes are well done, and the story is filled with twists that you won't see coming.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    For some it may be a bit short but the cinematic scenes and the artwork are something to see.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    It offers replay in every aspect and no other racing game found on the Xbox has ever come close to offering as much as this title has.
    • 72 Metascore

    The gameplay is fantastic, it's a solid, fast paced shooter that will give you your fix for shooting the hell out of some aliens.

    I would buy the game just for the Mini-Golf alone. Like I said, every now and then a game comes along that renews my faith in companies making something fresh and also taking a risk.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    A mixed bag of greatness, and blandness.

    Dead to Rights II doesn't exactly disappoint me, as the first installment was really no better, but I would've liked to see a more marked improvement after this development time.

    DOOM 3 proves that with time and effort a PC game can be brought to the Xbox and look and play well.
