    Pro Evolution Soccer 2012
    Tighter, playable and surprisingly deep, only the stilted visuals and ability to explain its intricacies prevent it from becoming the XBW favorite again. [Dec 2011, p.106]

    Metal Slug 3
    Platform shooters don't get much better, but the plop filter and slowdown problems let it down. [Mar 2008, p.94]

    A Kingdom for Keflings
    Its lethargic pace could put many off, but the mix of strategy and resource management is hard to fault. [Feb 2009, p.104]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
    The chopper and bomber bits just end up getting in the way. [Christmas 2011, p.107]
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Switchball
    One of the most inventive puzzle games on 360, ported from the PC with little love and attention. [Jan 2008, p.92]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    R.U.S.E.
    A smart (occasionally too smart) new take on strategy, teeming with ideas and features.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Every Extend Extra Extreme
    A harmonious blend of light, sound and vibration that even "Space Giraffe" can only dream of. [Christmas 2007, p.98]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 78 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    Pro Evolution Soccer 2010
    One step forward, two steps back. Konami have shot for realism, but sacrificed the fun.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Top Spin 3
    A revolution. The controls alone render the competition obsolete. [Aug 2008, p.82]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Sega Rally Revo
    The best game to carry the name since '95, but more than that - it's the best straight racing game you'll find on this console and indeed one of the best pure racers you'll have played in years...Every second is a second you'll spend on the edge of your seat. Thrilling. [Nov 2007, p.74]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

    RISK: Factions
    Needlessly goofy presentation hurts a game which works well with friends and on a controller. [Sept 2010, p.121]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
    Not totally slick but crammed full of ideas, and the best Western we've played. [Sept 2009, p.82]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Banjo-Kazooie
    The closest to Mario we'll ever get, and instantly the best classic platform game on the Xbox 360. [Feb 2009, p.103]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sonic the Hedgehog (Live Arcade)
    The most bare-bones port imagineable. [Oct 2007, p.96]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Daytona USA
    A slick port of still-great gameplay and distinctive visuals. [Feb 2012, p.111]

    DoDonPachi Resurrection
    Mind-fryingly difficult but extremely well designed score attack game. [Christmas 2011, p.101]

    LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
    In some levels the single player experience feels butchered. So much so, we occasionally found ourselves switching on a second pad, moving the other character into position and then dropping out afterwards.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    A step-forward for the series. [Christmas 2009, p.78]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Stranglehold
    Despite the game's undoubted scope for replayability, it is decidedly low on play time. But in the cold light of day, we're not too bothered with all that - because Stranglehold offers something so raw and so hyper-energetic that the next game you play after it will feel positively tired and lethargic in comparison. Woo hoo.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
    Gleefully naff fun, bristling with good ideas, but it never feels like a 360 game. [Jan 2009, p.71]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
    Hogwarts is the most alive environment TT ever created. [Feb 2012, p.106]

    Mutant Storm Empire
    Another twin-stick shooter, but with a fun twist. [Jan 2008, p.94]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's EndWar
    Endwar is a lesson to all, then. You can make a strategy game work on a console; you just have to speed it up, dumb it down, and somehow keep it smart.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Metro 2033
    A brilliantly atmospheric shooter with forgivably imperfect gunplay. Stick with it.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 69 Critic Score
    Tropico 4
    It's a sprinkling of glitter rather than an overhaul. [Feb 2012, p.109]

    • 77 Metascore

    The Gunstringer
    Suffers from age-old Kinect problems, but more than makes up for it with a totally unique approach and a brilliant brand of freakiness.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 84 Critic Score
    F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
    An impressive FPS from the masters of scares. A great start to 2009. [Mar 2009, p.70]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
    • 77 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    de Blob 2
    Top quality grinworthy action only slightly marred by haste. Not just for the kids. [May 2011, p.90]
    • Xbox World 360 Magazine UK
      • Posted Mar 21, 2011
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
    A multi-directional adventure that plays almost as good as it looks. [Nov 2011, p.110]

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
    Even with its faults, PES 2008 is still unquestionably a better game than its predecessors. It may be lacking in a couple of areas (hell, they needed to justify making next year's PES 2009 after all...), but PES 2008 remains far more than a yearly update; it's the first true next gen iteration of Xbox World's most played game. [Dec 2007, p.64]
