Alone in the Dark was one of the best horror PC games for its time, which was over a decade ago. The 360 version tries to update the classic with episodic content and improve environmental effects. |

Armored Core, one of the greatest mech franchises ever released, hits the 360. It's a sign of the times as the Xbox rips aways another franchise from the Playstation's heart. And we love it. Read our review to find out why. |

You're an army of two mercenaries who have to go around fighting terrorists. Shakespeare couldn't come up with a better plot. It's like Romeo and Juliet, if they were both men and had to fight like a thousand terrorists. So let the violence commence in this week's review of Army of Two. |

Assassin's Creed finally arrives on the 360 after much hoopla and the hottest looking producer in videogame history. And no, the producer is not a guy. But getting back to the game, you play the hitman of 1191 who must execute people in cool fashion. |

Another Battlefield game. This one centers around hunting for gold. But do we need another Battlefield game? Our review says it like it is, although as you would expect from Battlefield, it's built for online gameplay. |

Katamari has come to the Xbox! And it's still as puzzling as ever, although the biggest puzzle is why is it exclusive to the 360? Because there's nothing in this game that requires the 360. However, it's still a one of a kind experience. |

It's been a very long time since we've played an Olympic sports related game, mainly because we don't play these games that often. Usually, these games hit bargain bin status faster than throwing a rock off a cliff. But here's our review of Beijing 2008 anyway. |

Bioshock is here. After spending the weekend finishing this game, we were left in shock and awe. It's just amazing. We haven't been this impressed since Oblivion. This game just blows away everything else on the 360 in terms of being able to pull you into a different world. Read our review to find out why. |

From the creators of Gundam Musou, comes Bladestorm, or European Musou as we like to call it. It lives up to the Koei standard of beatemup, which isn't saying much since their standard was set in 2000 when Dynasty Warriors 2 was released. |

Finally, the most Japanese game ever created besides Schoolgirl Panty Fighter 2 has hit the 360 and it's Blue Dragon, a game made for people who are turning Japanese. If that's you, read our review. |

His name is Bourne, Jason Bourne. He's like James Bond meets the 6 million dollar man plus 24 more million, which adds up to alot of anger issues. Luckily for Bourne, he's able to resolve all his issues through violence. Here's our review of Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy as Jason goes on a violent rampage against his handlers. |

The cult PS2 game Bully comes to the 360 with somewhat improved graphics, more stuff to do, and a little multiplayer gaming. But is it enough for a 360 title? We tell you in our review of Bully Scholarship Edition. |

Burnout is back again on the 360 with another round of traffic crashing, car wrecking, road rage madness that leaves us wanting for more. No matter how many times we play it, there's just something great about knocking another car into a wall that leaves us wanting for more. |

It's time once again to fight the Nazis. Every year or so, we got to fight them. And no, we don't have a time machine. But sometimes we feel like making one so we can go back and tell the game developers to stop making sequels like Call of Duty 3 that really don't add anything new to the fomula. |

We should have been a cowboy. Walking around with a bottle of whiskey and some beef jerky saying words like you'all and reckon. That's why we were real excited to review Call of Juarez, a FPS set in the Old West. |

What is it about mechs we like? The explosions? Guys named Hunter? Anything that walks around with missiles and guns out of every orifice has got to be cool. Because we all know the more weapons you have on something, the cooler it becomes. So read our review for the coolest game on the planet weaponwise. |

Jericho is one of those packaged games that they make from a list of what elements gamers like. You got demons, time travel, superpowers, and of course, a whole lot of people in leather saying badass stuff you can find in a New York bathroom stall. |

We're headed back to a time of high adventure with Conan, the Barbarian. Although this version of Conan talks too much. But we'll excuse this since he does kill more, and he does get to see topless women. |

This week, we review the survival FPS called Condemned, which is kind of ironic, because that's what we feel like after playing this thing. If there was a hell for FPS gamers, it would involve playing this game. And we'll tell you why in our review. |

The Condemned 2 arrives on the 360. The story continues where the first one left off. Although at times, the Comdemned 2 feels more like a Troma movie with ridiculous characters and over the top violence that even the original lacked. |

Crackdown is a little different from most sandbox games. Not only can you steal cars, but you can also throw them! Say what? That's right. And throwing them is more fun than stealing them in our Crackdown review. |

The legendary Might and Magic series hits the 360 in Dark Messiah: Elements, a port of the PC game that was released the previous year. The graphics are better, but is the game itself? |

Dark Sector gets high marks for coolness. You play some guy that has been infected by a virus that turns his arm into a metal weapon that he can control. |

The fast-paced action packed series is back along with its selection of babes, buff dudes, and the Ninja. But is it next-gen enough for the Xbox 360? It sure is franchise enough for any franchise gamer. But let's find out with this review. |

Are we street enough for this review of Def Jam Icon? The answer is yes, we think. It's kinda like Def Jam Comedy, but with more violence and less swearing. So put your baseball cap on sideways, watch an episode of Martin Lawrence, and read this review. |

Guess who's back in town causing trouble and getting the demons all excited? It's Dante. But he didn't come alone. There's a new hunter named Nero. It's hunter versus hunter in the battle royale to save humanity in this week's review of Devil May Cry 4. |

Dragonball Z lives on in the 360. It's Dragonball Z Burst Limit, a game that is simple in terms of graphics and gameplay. You'd think it was for kids. You would be thinking correctly. |

You have to stop giant insects, giant robots, and giant aliens all in one game. Luckily, the Earth Defense Force has given you a helmet and rocket launcher and told you to run around and blow whatever you want up. Real smart move there. So read our review of Earth Defense Force 2017. |

Seems like the generic Japanese RPGs are hitting the 360 full force. Eternal Sonata is as played out as Blue Dragon when it comes to original gameplay. Luckily, the developers put a ridiculous amount of detail in the game's visual. Read our review and you'll be amazed at the polish they put in this game. |

Euro 2008 comes to America after hitting Europe first. And it's done by EA Sports of course, buyer of all sports franchises known to man. EA gives soccer fans (or as the Euros like to call it football) another reason to buy soccer games. Because it's soccer season. |

Every generation, there is a game about rocket something or another racing over rivers and through canyons. Yes, it's time for one of those games. But does it live up to the games that came before it? Our review of Fatal Inertia answers that question. |

The horror FPS genre gets another great title with FEAR Files, kinda like X-Files, except with more violence and less talking, which is the way we like it. And while this may be an expansion set, it still has enough FPS goodness for us to enjoy. |

Finally, EA releases Fifa Street for the 360. Considering the two previous games showed up on the Xbox, it's kinda surprising it took EA this long for a 360 version. |

Here's an idea. Take a racing game with a great physics engine like Flatout 2, then put it on the 360 with better graphics and better physics and call it Ultimate. Works for us. Read our review and see why. |

We review Forza Motorsport 2. Prepare to be dazzled by the sheer excitement of . . . who are we kidding? Prepare to be franchised by this solid franchise racer. It's everything you'd expect from a Forza game. As predictable as the last Forza game, but with new cars and tweaks. Can we say Madden? |

This is the game that really showcases the power of the Xbox 360. It's also the game that ruined the PS3 launch and had an army of fanboys shout about how great the 360 was compared to the overpriced PS3. If you want drop dead gorgeous graphics, then prepare for this review. |

We finally get our hands on Grand Theft Auto IV. After all the hype, non-hype, and hype again, does the game live up to the GTA franchise high standards of gaming fun? Hell yeah. So read our review of GTA4 and see why. |

Codemasters, the creators of great racing games like Colin McRae and Race Driver, have released Grid, an arcade based racer with a much easier learning curve than Colin McRae. Grid is designed for a more casual race gamer. |

We finally get to live our rockstar dreams. Jet planes, supermodels, plenty of coke (the drink that is). If only someone would pay to listen to us play Guitar Hero II, all these illusions of greatness would become true. |

Combine franchise gaming and generic Japanese anime and you'll get Dynasty Warriors Gundam, a game full of more stale cheesy gameplay than a bag of Cheese Puffs opened two months ago and left outdoors. |

We had to spend a ton of time playing Halo 3 before we could give it a proper review. The Microsoft PR department should receive an award for the work in overhyping this game to beyond reason. The PR is truely legendary, but the game, not so much. |

It's another WWII FPS. Aaarrrgh! But at least, it covers the Pacific Theatre. If you like the old Medal of Honor series, or the old Call of Duty series, here's your chance to play more of the same in History Channel: Battle for the Pacific. |

It's not surprising Iron Man is published by Sega because the game is just plain overblown with arcade gameplay that will leave your fingers sore and your head wondering if this game is fun. |

Yup. It's another movie turned game. King Kong has always been a great movie, but amazingly enough, it makes a great game too. We review this FPS for you. Who knew a game about King Kong could be made into a FPS and that it would be good? |
