Xbox 360 Reviews

THQ took a couple of years off after UFC Undisputed 2010, and the extra time really shows in UFC Undisputed 3. It looks and plays great and is as fully-featured of a game as you'll find. Find out all of the details in our full review.

Tennis games aren't new to the Xbox 360, but a new tennis title from EA Sports is pretty big news. Pair EA's unmatched presentation with interesting new analog stick controls, and you have a winner with Grand Slam Tennis 2.

SoulCalibur is reinvented and reinvigorated with SoulCalibur V. It looks and plays better than ever. Find out all of the details right here.

Square Enix tries to right the wrongs of Final Fantasy XIII with Final Fantasy XIII-2. There are actual towns, it isn't one long linear corridor, and it doesn't take 25 hours to get good, so we figure they did a decent job. Our full review has all of the details.

The Metal Gear Solid series finally appears on the Xbox 360. The MGS HD Collection packs three great MGS games with updated graphics all for a reasonable MSRP. You can't go wrong. We have all the details you need here in our info article.

Telltale's Jurassic Park: The Game takes you back to Isla Nublar in a new story in Jurassic Park. It is basically an interactive movie full of Quick-Time-Events, but for fans of JP, it is worth a look. Check out the details here.

THQ dropped the Smackdown vs. Raw name in favor of something leaner and meaner and the result if WWE '12, one of the best wrestling games of recent memory. Great gameplay and fantastic creation options are the keys here. Find out the details here in our full review.

The follow-up to Oblivion is just as big and fantastic and wonderful as anyone could have hoped. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the best RPGs on Xbox 360. Our full review has all of the details.

Need for Speed: The Run squanders an awesome concept with a pointless mess of a story and sloppy gameplay. Racing across the U.S. should be fun. This, well, isn't. Find out all of the details here.

Some people love to hate it, but most people just love it, Call of Duty is definitely the most popular franchise in gaming right now. The latest COD is the climax of the Modern Warfare trilogy. Modern Warfare 3 delivers a solid story and great multiplayer we've come to expect. We have all of the details here.

Nope, we're still not tired of LEGO games. Collecting millions of studs, finding hundreds of hidden items - it hasn't gotten old yet. LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 is a solid entry in the series that is better than the Years 1-4 game. Find out all of the details here.

Classic Gradius gameplay matched with cute anime girls. Sounds good to us. But it isn't good. Not at all. The gameplay is bland and boring and even moe moe anime girls aren't enough to make it interesting. We have all of the details here in our full review.

THQ's uDraw tablet was a hit on the Wii, now it is coming to Xbox 360. Now kids can draw and create art on the Xbox 360 in HD. The tablet works remarkably well and is great for kids. Find out all of the details here.

The Saints Row series has always been a lighter and funnier open world game compared to the oh so serious competition. It just wants to let you have fun, not tell you a big dramatic story, and it definitely succeeds. Saints Row The Third is crazy fun.

Capcom's bigger and better version of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 got here a little faster than most gamers wanted, but they packed a lot of new content and changes here so you can't complain too much. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is definitely the best MvC3 game, and one of the best fighters overall on Xbox 360.

To celebrate the ten year anniversary of the launch of the original Xbox as well as the birth of the Halo franchise, Microsoft brings us a remastered version of the classic Halo called Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It looks great thanks to nifty new graphics, and plays just as well as we all remember. Check our review for all of the details.

NASCAR Unleashed is an arcade-style release calendar filler from Activision. It is bare bones, mediocre, ugly, and not worth your time. Move along. Or find out all of the details right here.

Remaking a classic is no easy feat, but Activision and Eurocom not only captured the feel of the classic James Bond game GoldenEye, but brought it up to date with a few tweaks to the story and gameplay. Our full review has all of the details.

Guitar videogames aren't dead yet. Well, maybe plastic baby guitar, but thanks to Ubisoft's Rocksmith, real big boy guitar is here to stay. Rocksmith is a great learning tool for guitar players, and we highly recommend it. We have all the details here.

The toy craze that is sweeping the nation is Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Take neat little toys, sit them on a portal, and "BAM" they are put into your game. Very cool. The game itself, not so much. But the toys are great. Find out all of the details here.

Lord of the Rings pretty much inspired every RPG on the planet, so it is always sort of fun when an actual LotR RPG shows up. War in the North follows a new Fellowship, fighting a war far in the North from Frodo and the Ring. The hack and slash, loot heavy gameplay is fun and satisfying and worth a look. We have all of the details here.

EA is back at it again with another attempt to de-throne Call of Duty from the top of the military shooter heap. Battlefield 3 is definitely their best attempt yet with multiplayer among the best you'll find in the genre. The campaign isn't so good, though. If you love multi, however, BF3 is worth a look. Find out all of the details here in...

How do you follow up the greatest super hero game of all time? Make it bigger, give it deeper combat, toss in more villains used in more interesting ways, and polish up the presentation. Batman: Arkham City takes everything that made Arkham Asylum great and kicks it up a few notches. This is a great game.

Change is hard, especially when the thing changing is a beloved Japanese gaming franchise and it is turning into a bro'd out Westernized "Call of Duty in the skies"-type of experience. But you know what? Sometimes change is good. Ace Combat: Assault Horizon might be bro'd out and dumbed down, but it is also still pretty fun. Find out all of...

How do you follow up a great game like Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions? Probably not like this. Edge of Time is an okay game, but struggles to get out of the shadow of it's predecessor thanks to repetitive, well, everything. It does look pretty, though. Find out all of the details here.

Fans asked for it, and Capcom delivered. Frank West is back in a new Dead Rising game. Too bad this new game is mostly the same as last year's Dead Rising 2. Still fum, but awfully familiar. Find out all of the details here in our full review.

X-Men Destiny is a bland, shallow, unambitious action beat-em-up that takes something amazing and interesting - super powered mutants - and manages to make them boring. Find out all of the details here.

Some sports games have up years and down years. One year might see tons of improvements while the next year is more safe and subdued. NBA 2K12 isn't one of those games. NBA 2K11 raised the bar extremely high, but NBA 2K12 jumps over it and dunks in its face. The new boss in NBA games on Xbox 360 is the same as the old boss. Find out all of...

Forza 3 was a fantastic sim racer in 2009. It looked great. It played great. I had tons of features. Most people thought it would be a hard game to top. Which is why we're happy to say that Turn 10 somehow managed it. Forza 4 is an amazing next step for the series and is the best racing game on the market. Find out all of the details...

It seems obvious - mix MMA-style fights with traditional fighting game mechanics. The execution, however, doesn't quite live up to expectations. Supremacy MMA is a novel idea, but not all that fun to actually play. See our full review for more.

Codemasters' F1 2010 had a few too many glitches going on to truly be a standing racing title. With F1 2011 however, all of those little problems have been solved and everything else has been polished and improved, and the result is a much better game. We have all of the details here in our full review.

Warhammer 40k fans have been waiting a long time for a console videogame to really do the franchise justice. Space Marine should fit the bill quite nicely.

NCAA Football 12 is a solid game of college football that fans will enjoy. The gameplay is solid and the feature set has seen some nice improvements. And it has awesome looking grass. Find out all of the details here in our full review.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 polishes up the rough edges of the series and gives you a more straightforward progression system, and the result is pretty darn good. Still mindless and repetitive, but good. Find out all of the details right here.

Action RPGs have traditionally been slim pickings on consoles, but this generation has been different. The latest addictive loot gathering adventure is Dungeon Siege III, and it is pretty solid all around. We have all of the details right here.

L.A. Noire may have the Rockstar logo on the box, but this isn't a typical Rockstar game.

We have all of the details right here.

Take pro wrestling, bulk the wrestlers up even more, give them about 20 Red Bulls, and throw them into the ring. The result is WWE All Stars.

Many of us have fond memories of the SEGA Dreamcast. It is easily the most beloved failed system ever, which is why the announcement of the Dreamcast Collection retail game was so intriguing.

Bright and colorful platforming games are something sorely missing on the Xbox 360, so it is nice to see a title like de Blob 2 hit the system. We love the core idea of having to paint a plain gray world and fill it with color. Is it any good? Find out in our full review.
