Forza 4 Review (X360) PG1
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 here in our full review.

Speedster 3 Wheel Review
Playing racing games with a wheel is one of the most exciting and satisfying ways to play games that I can think of. When you play with a high-end wheel like the Fanatec Speedster 3, the experience gets even that much better. This is hands down the best wheel you can get for the Xbox. It is a bit expensive, but the nearly perfect design and performance make the $150 price tag much easier to swallow. Read all about it right here.

Rapala Pro Bass Fishing Review (X360)
We weren't fans of the last Rapala game, Rapala Fishing Frenzy 2009, but we were hopeful that the new Rapala Pro Bass Fishing would somehow be good. Activision's hunting games have greatly improved the last couple of years, after all, so we hoped that trend would carry over to fishing as well. The good news is that it is much better than Fishing Frenzy 2009. The bad news is that it still isn't very good, and not even a specialized fishing pole motion controller can save it.

Xbox 360 Wireless Speed Wheel
Hardcore gamers have laughed at motion controls even as the Wii and now Kinect is selling like gangbusters, so it is no surprise that most gamers see the Wireless Speed Wheel - Microsoft's version of Wii-style motion controls for racing games - and ignore it. Casual gamers, though, will absolutely love it. The Wireless Speed Wheel works great, feels good, and is worth a look.

XboxLive Survival Tips 4 Gals

Tekken 6 Review (X360)
Tekken 6 offers 40 characters, plenty of modes, and the great Tekken gameplay that the series has always been known for.

BioShock Review (X360)
BioShock is a great game. It is the best game that the Xbox brand, not just the Xbox 360, has ever seen, and will likely go down as one of the best games ever on any system.

Xbox 360 Family Settings FAQ
When talking about kids and videogames, my philosophy is that it is usually better to play games with your younger kids rather than to just let them loose on their own. I can guarantee that it is going to be more fun for both of you if you can play together. As kids get older, though, you might not always be able to monitor what they are playing and for how long. That is where the parental control features of the Xbox 360 can step in to lend you a hand.

Cabela's NAA Rev (X360)
Hunting games tend to be a little half-assed. Sorry, but someone needed to say it. The presentation is usually poor and there generally isn't much content available even if the core gameplay might be decent. Cabela's North American Adventures isn't like those other hunting games. It has solid presentation, fun gameplay, and actually has a ton of modes to enjoy. Without a doubt, Cabela's North American Adventures is the best hunting game on Xbox 360.
Hunting games tend to be a little half-assed. Sorry, but someone needed to say it. The presentation is usually poor and there generally isn't much content available even if the core gameplay might be decent. Cabela's North American Adventures isn't like those other hunting games. It has solid presentation, fun gameplay, and actually has a ton of modes to enjoy. Without a doubt, Cabela's North American Adventures is the best hunting game on Xbox 360.
The Dark Side of Achievements
We all love achievements. Unless you only have a very small GamerScore, in which case you are likely one of the “cool kids” on forums everywhere that whine that they are pointless and stupid. But for those of us that love them, achievements are one of the greatest new features of the current console generation. There are some out there that have twisted and corrupted achievements into something that isn't about fun anymore. They are cheaters. And here is how to find them.

EarForceX2 Headphone Rev(360)
Turtle Beach is back with a new set of headphones designed for use with the Xbox and Xbox 360. The Ear Force X2 headphones are wireless, lightweight, and come in a lovely white color to match the 360. Most importantly, the sound quality is surprisingly good and the headset is very comfortable for long play sessions. They’ll set you back about $100, but for the quality and features you get with the Ear Force X2 I highly recommend them.

Tales of Vesperia Review X360
If the Xbox 360 hasn't already been firmly established as the RPG system of this generation, it definitely should be now. Tales of Vesperia is yet another great JRPG that is only available on the 360. It looks good, sounds phenomenal, tells a decent story, features great characters, and offers a nice real-time combat system that makes fighting fun rather than a chore. Tales of Vesperia is a great game that no RPG fan should miss.

The BIGS 2 Review (X360)
Crazy, simple, fast, fun – these are just a few good ways to describe The BIGS 2. It is like a fan edit of your favorite movie that just shows the good parts. It is a dessert with a mound of frosting and a tiny sliver of cake. It is an all Rush mixtape collection.

GRID Review (X360)
Just like it revitalized the Colin McRae Rally series with DIRT, Codemasters has tweaked and tuned the Pro Race Driver series into GRID and turned an enjoyable but niche series into one of the best racers on the market. It straddles the line between simulation and arcade to produce a racer that rewards you for driving correctly, but also doesn’t penalize you if you want to break the wheels loose and throw the car around corners. GRID is just plain fun.
