Space Siege
60
This click-happy sci-fi dungeon crawler is neither aggressively bad nor especially remarkable. In other words, it's OK.
1942: Joint Strike
60
1942: Joint Strike is a decent shooter that offers some replay value--but only if you're into moving up online leaderboards.
Fable II: Pub Games
20
A crappy gambling game that also doubles as a parable about the dangers of downloadable content.
SoulCalibur IV
60
Soulcalibur IV's sharp fighting is offset by a dull set of single-player modes and lame guest characters.
Unreal Tournament III
60
Unreal Tournament 3 is a competent Xbox 360 shooter that can be exciting and very fast-paced, but it occasionally feels like some kind of creepy history lesson on the way games used to be.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith
40
Even if you are a hardcore Aerosmith fan, this game's short and spotty track list makes it hard to recommend.
It's not a seamless transition, but Civilization Revolution is a mostly successful effort to bring Sid Meier's celebrated strategy series to consoles.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 adds new modes and elements that make it significantly better than both its predecessor and the scads of dual-joystick shooters that were released in its wake.
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit
60
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is by far and away the best looking Dragon Ball Z game available today. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't match the visuals in terms of recreating the action and appeal of the source material.
SoulCalibur
40
Soul Calibur gets the fighting right, but without online play or the single-player mission mode that made it fun to play alone, this XBLA re-release is a flimsy package.
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is a flashy action game that's sabotaged by a brief runtime and a lack of depth.
Lego Indy is an endearing romp through the classic swashbuckling films, but the Lego gameplay's rough edges are starting to show.
Wii Fit
60
Wii Fit's simple workouts run out of charm pretty quickly, but for some, the subtle nudge to get on a better workout plan will be worth the price of admission.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is a fitting coda to the series and the single best reason to own a PS3 so far.
Commando 3 makes a pretty good first impression, but the rest of the game doesn't offer enough excitement to carry you through to the end.
Defend Your Castle
60
Defend Your Castle's charming visuals and low price tag help compensate for some simple gameplay.
Boom Blox
80
You might not enjoy every single game type that Boom Blox offers, but most of them are a lot of fun, especially if you're playing with friends.
Target: Terror
40
Target: Terror looks like it was a lot of fun to make, but that doesn't mean it was a lot of fun to play.
Mario Kart Wii
60
Mario Kart Wii lives up to series expectations in the safest ways imaginable.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
60
It provides a promising glimpse into the future of Gran Turismo, but the content doesn't justify the $39.99 price tag.
