    Halo 3
    Billions of hours are destined to be lost online as it slowly takes over the world because the multiplayer alone covers the retail price, and features such as Forge and Saved Film only further justify the purchase.

    DmC: Devil May Cry
    Regardless of what you think of Devil May Cry, or Ninja Theory as a developer, or Capcom as a publisher – DmC: Devil May Cry is a fun game.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike
    The graphics and sound are some of the best on Xbox.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Guitar Hero 5
    In the end of the day, it's still Guitar Hero, the uglier, sometimes less pleasing brother of Rock Band.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
    The return to more trick based gameplay is welcome, but there doesn't seem to be much more they can do with the series.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
    The boss battles, the furious action, the Vital Suits and the fun online modes all contribute to make Lost Planet one of the surprise sleeper hits on the 360 so far.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
    The awesome production values put into EON easily make it the best modern Bond game yet and even without Xbox Live support is still definitely worth your money.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
    While there aren't necessarily any revolutionary additions, this is a finely polished game that will please golf fanatics and casual gamers alike.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Destroy All Humans!
    It may not be the deepest gaming experience, and much of the game's objectives are exactly the same (although placed in differing contexts) but it is also the most fun I've had on my Xbox in a very, very long time.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Plants vs. Zombies
    If you've played through the game previously on another platform then it's dependent on how much you love the game as to whether the console upgrade is worth it. However, if you're someone who has never experienced the humble joys of a Popcap gem such as this then it's a more-than-worthy purchase.

    • 87 Critic Score
    FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
    FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is fun. Immense fun. It's hectic, action packed, violent and features plenty of stuff that no other series offers.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Dead or Alive Ultimate
    Character models are another stand out point. The characters look fantastic and perform animations brilliantly.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Cloning Clyde
    What you end up getting with Cloning Clyde is an excellent example of a classic style puzzler remade and infused with just enough cheek and humour to definitely be worth the asking price of 800 Microsoft Points.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
    An argument could be made that Continuum Shift only offers true value to those who missed out on the 360 release of BlazBlue the first time around.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
    Lords Of Shadow is the revitalization Castlevania needed and deserved.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Saints Row 2
    And while the graphics may not be the best around and the game may be a little rough around the edges, when you factor in the great cooperative play and the ridiculously frantic multiplayer, Saint's Row 2 is a criminally good game.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends
    It manages to provide not only an extremely satisfying hack'n'slash experience, but also a solid story and non-combat component that adds a little depth to the usual shallow, button-mashing gameplay.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2
    Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is a great game. It captures the Rainbow Six ‘feel' and delivers high intensity gameplay both on and offline.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
    There simply is no other game that comes as close to not only recreating a film, but also making you feel like you're in control of the action rather than just a part of it.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
    By combining the same addictive button-mashing core of its predecessor with better visuals, better level design, more dynamic gameplay (thanks to the scripted events that drive the levels), and a multiplayer co-op mode, Return of the King is an exceptionally well-produced game.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Condemned: Criminal Origins
    Condemned: Criminal Origins is one of the finest horror games to date, managing to mix the traditional scares with action-packed, enjoyable combat. The atmosphere is palpable, the audio downright chilling, and the storyline is compelling and well executed.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Fable II
    Provided you aren't expecting an in-depth, stat-heavy RPG, Fable 2 can be a wonderful experience, and it's exactly the sort of game you make it, which is exactly what the developers want it to be.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
    In terms of laying the groundwork for future iterations, Reckoning does an incredible job of establishing the lore as well as the world of Amalur itself. On the other hand, it fails to dish up a compelling single-player narrative, as the main plotline lacks substance and culminates in an almost cliché boss encounter by today's standards.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
    A solid sequel to a solid debut...it makes smart, incremental changes to the gameplay without messing with what made it work so well.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Burnout Revenge
    But with the gameplay improvements, enhanced Xbox Live, ear-blowing audio and jaw-dropping visuals, it's still a pretty attractive prospect.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
    Guitar Hero III offers few surprises and it feels like NeverSoft decided to ‘tread lightly' and not upset the apple cart (so to speak).
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The Warriors
    Too varied to be comfortably squeezed into the beat-'em-up genre, The Warriors will have you laughing in pleasure and wincing in mock sympathy for your on-screen victims.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Tomb Raider: Legend
    If you can ignore the sloppy motorbike sequences and often unsatisfying combat, you'll have no trouble fitting into Lara's skimpy outfits and immersing yourself in the most enjoyable action-adventure on the Xbox 360 to date.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    DiRT
    DiRT does plenty right and features the most realistic forest and desert environments ever seen in an Xbox racing game.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: Episode 1 - A New Day
    Running for a short and sweet couple of hours, "A New Day" is a damn cool introduction for what promises to be another sprawling saga from those talented guys and girls at Telltale Games. The cast is brought to life by intelligent writing and just about forces us, in no time at all, to find a soft spot for just about each and every one of them.
