Max Payne 3 Review (X360)

It has been nine years since the last Max Payne game. Can Max overcome the long layover and completely new developer to return to his old glory? Yeah, pretty much. Check out our full Max Payne 3 review for all of the details.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition Review (X360)

CD Projekt's wonderful PC RPG series finally comes to the Xbox 360. Did The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings port make it to Xbox 360 intact? Intact and then some! Find out all of the details here.

Ridge Racer Unbounded Review (X360)

The latest Ridge Racer isn't really a Ridge Racer, but we're okay with that. The blend of racing and destruction in Ridge Racer Unbounded is interesting enough to stand on its own. Our full review has all of the details.

Ninja Gaiden 3 Review (X360)

A new Ninja Gaiden without Itagaki at the helm. What is the worst that could happen? A lot, apparently. Find out all of the details in our full Ninja Gaiden 3 review.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 Review (X360)

This year's Tiger Woods PGA Tour isn't just the same game with a 13 instead of a 12 on the box. It is full of new gameplay controls, new features and modes, and even a Kinect mode. Find out all of the details right here.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review (X360)

A more action-oriented take on Resident Evil isn't a bad idea, but Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City definitely isn't the way to do it. We have all of the details here in our full review.

Armored Core V Review (X360)

From Software's latest Armored Core series reboot is a solid giant robot shooter that fans of the genre will enjoy. Our full review covers all of the details.

FIFA Street Review (X360)

EA took a few years off to reboot the FIFA Street franchise. The results are a better game than the previous entries, but still not anything that will tear you away from proper soccer games. Our full review has all of the details.

Mass Effect 3 Review (X360)

Mass Effect 3 delivers everything gamers could have wanted. Well, everything except a satisfying ending. The disappointing final 5 minutes isn't enough to tarnish the preceding 30 great hours, though, and Mass Effect 3 is still well worth playing and highly recommended.

Street Fighter X Tekken Review (X360)

What happens when Street Fighter and Tekken characters meet in the same game? Overwhelming awesomeness, of course! Capcom's Street Fighter X Tekken is a fresh and fun take on 2D fighting and shouldn't be missed.

Major League Baseball 2K12 Review (X360)

Simulation baseball is a perfect balancing act in videogames. Either you get the multiple mechanics all just right, or things are just a bit off and the end product isn't as fun as it should be. That is sort of where MLB 2K12 lies - parts of it are great, but other parts struggle, and the end result is only so-so. We have all of the details here in our full review.

SSX Review (X360)

EA's beloved SSX series makes its first appearance on the Xbox 360. Does this new entry have the right stuff, or does it fall into an obnoxiously placed death hole? Find out all of the details here in our full review.

Binary Domain Review (X360)

Shooters are a dime-a-dozen these days, but occasionally you'll find one that pops up out of nowhere and actually manages to impress you in new ways. SEGA's Binary Domain is a great playing, innovative, and just plain fun third-person-shooter that you shouldn't miss.

Asura's Wrath Review (X360)

What do you get when you cross a beat-em-up with Rez, Heavy Rain, and shounen anime? Asura's Wrath, of course. This is a crazy over the top hybrid game with an anime sense of style that is hard to resist. Check out our full review for more.

Syndicate Review (X360)

Electronic Arts took some criticism for bringing back a beloved PC strategy game in the form of yet another FPS, but EA's new Syndicate is more than just a cash in on an established brand. It plays extremely well and has the presentation to make it stand out in the crowded FPS genre. Find out all of the details right here.

UFC Undisputed 3 Review (X360)

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.

Grand Slam Tennis 2 Review (X360)

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 V Review (X360)

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

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review (X360)

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.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Review (X360)

If you love Aerosmith, you’ll love this game. If you hate Aerosmith, you’ll hate this game. It really is as simple as that when recommending Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. For everyone in the gray area in between, however, it becomes a bit harder. You have to look at things like overall value and how well Aerosmith songs actually work in the Guitar Hero format, and then things slip from “buy” into “rental” territory. Find out all of the details right here.

Guitar Hero 5 Review (X360)

As far as features go, Guitar Hero 5 seems like the best music/rhythm game yet. For casual players and GH veterans alike, there is a lot of nifty stuff in Guitar Hero 5 that makes you want to play it. The song list isn’t quite as strong as the features, but for every bland, boring, stinker in the 85 song list there is a catchy, addictive, fun one or two you’ll keep coming back to, which is all you can really ask for. Find out all of the details here in our full review.

Jurassic Park: The Game Review (X360)

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.

WWE '12 Review (X360)

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 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review (X360)

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 Review (X360)

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.
