    • 97 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    By far one of the most appealing titles to play over, and over, and over! By the time you finish the first level, you'll want to play it again.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    The graphics in this game are mind numbing! The use of normal mapping along with bump mapping really makes it shine.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    A great single-player mode and a well thought-out online Co-Op mode makes this one hard to beat in its genre.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Bone jarring impacts, oncoming traffic flying through the air, takedowns, crash junctions, this game is just shy of being perfect. Some of the most awesome, if not the best, crashes you will ever find in a racing game.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It has a solid playbook and the football engine has to be the best out there.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The character models and environments are drop dead gorgeous. This is one of the prettiest games to ever grace a console, on par with some of the high end PC games out there.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    The amazing graphics as well as accurate representation of each of the numerous cars calls for a big round of a applause for Bizarre Creations.
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 93 Critic Score
    The possibilities seem endless if you can dream it you can pull it off with practice.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It has that feeling of being more realistic and a wider range of controls.
    • 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.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's been a long time since I picked a game up and played it straight through to the end. Riddick is a game that once you start you won't want to stop, the action is paced perfectly with the storyline and it keeps you engaged the whole way through.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Arguably the best sports game from Microsoft this year. If you were even a remote fan of "Virtua Tennis" you’ll definitely like this game.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The game has set a new bar for the genre and it plays so smoothly with some practice.
    • 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.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    DOOM 3 proves that with time and effort a PC game can be brought to the Xbox and look and play well.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    For those of you who like action/adventure games, and want to see a great 3rd and 1st person integration, this is for you.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    I love this game. There's just something about your car flipping end over end 5 or six times that brings a great big smile to my face! This is also the first racing game that I have actually saved a replay to the HDD because I had such an awesome wreck in it!
    • 87 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Football fans have begged for more options and features and the newest NCAA Football 06 delivers!
    • 86 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    The game is so loaded with modes and options the replay value is really unlimited.
    • 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.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It's like three or four different games rolled up into one giant playground (NO PUN Intended).
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 95 Critic Score
    This game needs to be in every true racing gamers' library. Hours and hours (and days) of racing excitement, awesomely detailed graphics, and customizeable soundtrack make for a top of the line racer.
    • 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.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    It has a deep story and a solid fighting engine.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The voice acting is outstanding and the missions were well thought out.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    With the sub par physics engine and numerous bugs including a disappearing biomod during the first level, and a crash when I exited a dominated bot just as it was firing, I am starting to feel as though a little more time could have went into testing this title.
    • 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.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Loaded with replay value. It's a massive game to beat.
    • 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.
    • 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
    Weapon sounds are very realistic, and your soldiers have some foul mouthed dialog that will keep you pretty entertained.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    There are so many unlockable characters, challenges, different difficulty setting, multi player modes, potential downloadable content, as well as downloadable user made maps, it would be hard to say there is little in way of replay value.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    I enjoyed playing the game again and seeing things that were not available the first time around.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Playing the game is fun and loaded with bad jokes and some sexual innuendos but nothing that you would not hear in any song on the top 40 radio right now.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    It's slick TV format and the story will keep fans interested and wanting to beat the game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Not perfect but it is well done and provides enough tense moments that will mess with anyone's mind.
    • 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.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    It captures everything that makes the game fun as well as frustrating and is certainly worth every penny.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    Each event is well laid out and the voices, shortcuts and special snapshot opportunities will have fans saying wow.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    Despite the flaws in the controls, fans will like this one a lot more than Deadly Alliance.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A true next generation game let down with some very flimsy cut scenes and lack lustre storyline.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Great for a night of full-on onslaught!
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The controls are as simple as it gets and will require very little time to get used to, 10 minutes at the most.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Just downright fun and a blast to play.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    I'm a big "MTX Mototrax" fan, but I will have to say that this game has won me over with it's multitude of content... its like having two games in one really.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    With the exception of practicing against AI controlled opponents, reply value is almost non-existent for the single player campaigns as there is nothing new on offer. But if you are blessed with Xbox Live or access to LAN play, you will have many hours of Star Wars fun!
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The changes to the graphics showed significant improvement as well. Hopefully next year there will be some great draft picks and continued improvements.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    NCAA 07 certainly has the right idea and just needs to be slightly tweaked and a bit more balanced.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    The sound is probably the best part of the game. The music by Jesper Kyd is, in my opinion, better than "Halo."
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Has a few balance issues but plays so well that no one will really care.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    It’s simply a real hockey fans dream game.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    The game has plenty of modes and things to unlock such as equipment, players and clothing.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    While the details and rendering of Torque and the other main characters such as Dr. Killjoy, Hermes, and most of the monsters are done very well, some of the other enemies and NPCs (non playable characters) suffer a bit from lack of detail.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    The epic adventure is worth completing numerous times with various characters.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I would have liked to see a few different modes or options on the online mode.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    Despite a few areas in the dynasty mode, the game is solid and well balanced.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    It does take time to learn the controls and coaching commands but it is worth the time.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    The voice-overs in game are done well, they sound as if you were watching the movie.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    A step in the right direction for the series and certainly plays well enough on the 360.
    • 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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I hope that EA will adjust the game's camera and offer an online mode in the next installment.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Granted, none of the games are anywhere near today's standards in game play, control, graphics, or sound... but if you're buying this title for the games that are on it, you already know what you're getting.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    It looks amazing and shows promise. It can only get better and if they add a few things.
    • 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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Set in Dolby Digital sound the voice overs are done very well, Voodoo Vince has some excellent one liners, but the creature sounds are pretty much standard fare for a game of this caliber.
