8/10 My first experience with the Burnout franchise turned out to be an addictive and positive experience, but not without flaws. There are some weird glitches in the game you can abuse (like the invulnerability right after a takedown) but overall it's a solid and adrenaline-filled arcade racer.

6/10 To say that CoD2 is a frustrating game is putting it mildly. I played through it on legendary difficulty for the achievements and it was no walk in the park. Mechanically, the game works well, but cheating AI, spawning enemies and a horrible checkpoint system makes it a really painful experience.

6/10 While there are probably better alternatives for this type of game, Conan is a decent way to waste your time ripping dudes to shreds in a brutal fashion. The game is quite rough around the edges, but once I got the hang of the fighting mechanics it became pretty fun. Even though the game can get quite difficult at times it always presents a fair challenge to the player.

6/10 Dark Sector takes a lot of inspiration from Resident Evil 4 and Gears Of War but ultimately fails to achieve the greatness of either game. It isn't scary enough for a horror game and it isn't intense enough for an action game. It's a decent game that has some cool moments here and there but nothing that will stick with you.

8/10 Aside from being an excellent racing sim, Forza 2 is absolutely loaded with licensed cars. I may not be much of a car dude, but having tons of cars to choose from in a car game is probably not a bad thing.

9/10 It's gorgeous, it's gory, it's grim, it's Gears Of War. This game does pretty much everything right in terms of presentation and gameplay mechanics. If it weren't for the average story and the annoying "stickiness" of the cover system this game would be pretty much perfect.

8/10 Set in 1800s America, Gun is a third person action/adventure game with a surprisingly competent story. The gameplay consists mostly you of shooting dudes in the face, but there's enough variation to it that prevents it from getting old. Since Gun is a last-gen game at the core, I won't criticise it for its technical shortcomings compared to other 360 titles.

7/10 Despite the rather lackluster story and clunky controls it's impossible to deny that Kameo is a game with a lot of charm. The lush and colorful visuals together with the goofy but striking art style are easily the best things about the game. Oh, and bonus points for the creative and memorable boss-battles.

7/10 I'm not ashamed to admit it; Kung Fu Panda is a good game and Po is awesome. With its mix of combat, platforming and quick time events the game offers a surprisingly varied experience through the entire campaign. Definately undeserving of the flak it recieves for being "a kid's game".

6/10 The universe of Indiana Jones lends itself rather well to the Lego-formula but as with the other Lego-games it gets old pretty fast. It's fun and goofy at first but sooner or later you start to get bored with it. If you've played one Lego-game you've played them all.

7/10 Lost Planet seems to be a game you either love or hate. There's definately potential for a really great game here - on the surface it looks absolutely gorgeous and has an interesting setting and premise (to me at least) but its quirkiness and frustrating controls drags down the overall experience.

8/10 I may not be a Marvel-nerd in any shape or form so I can't say much about the story of MUA but all I need to know is that I had fun playing it. The campaign is pretty lengthy for what is basically a button-mashing brawler but there's enough depth to the combat to keep things from getting repetitive.

9/10

4/10 It's hard to find anything I like about Perfect Dark Zero. You move slower than a tank, the characters look stiff and lifeless, the weapons are dull and generic, etc. The game simply isn't fun in any way. A big disappointment compared to its N64 predecessor.

8/10 If you ask me, Prey is an undeservingly overlooked game. There are some really cool and original gameplay elements here such as ghostwalking, gravity manipulations, walking on walls and portals that are used to create some really interesting and tricky puzzles. Add to that a great atmosphere and an interesting arsenal of alien weapons and you have a great sci-fi shooter.

8/10 The excellent PGR series continues with more cars, new tracks, prettier graphics and improved gameplay. Everything feels very polished and the game features a good amount of content to keep you playing for a long time.

9/10 Say what you want about fake plastic instruments and music games in general. Rock Band is simply a blast to play, both on your own and with friends. Naturally, the tracklist is the most important aspect of a music game and I overall I think Rock Band contains a pretty good mix of genre classics and mainstream hits. Expecting anything more would be unfair since music taste is about as subjective and personal as it gets.

9/10 The winning gameplay concept found in RB1 remains pretty much unchanged in this sequel (as it should), but finds improvements in the overall presentation and accessibility. Personally, I also like the tracklist in RB2 much more than the one in the first game.

8/10 The over-the-top gangsta-nature of Saints Row is really wacky experience. The game is totally ridiculous both story-wise and in the different activities it offers the player. This is a game that was made for messing around and laughing at all the stupid stuff that happens.

6/10 Aside from the somewhat generic premise and haphazard story there are some good intentions behind Timeshift. The game looks and plays pretty well and the futuristic weapons and time mechanics are really cool and fun to use.

7/10 The Ghost Recon series continues to evolve, this time going even further with the action-oriented approach. The core gameplay is still tactical squad-based combat but this time you fight terrorists with modern weaponry in urban environments. While it's no doubt that GRAW is a good game, it can be frustratingly difficult at times, especially when forced into firefights where the enemies far outnumber your squad.

8/10 The Rainbow Six team takes a trip through the neon-filled Casinos of Las Vegas, and does it with style. The series has always been dear to me and R6V is no exception to this rule. The gameplay is tight and the immersion and intensity high. What more do you need?

7/10 I was never that hyped up for Too Human, so once I finally got around to playing it I was instead expecting it to suck. As it turns out, I ended up mostly liking it. Sure, it's a game that could have been so much more, but if you can look past the flaws you'll find a pretty solid game.

8/10 Beneath Viva Pinata's super colorful and happy visuals there lies a surprisingly deep game. Upon first glance it might look like a kid's game but there's a ton of stuff to keep in mind when growing and culturing your garden. Piñata X require this and that, while piñata Y requires something else entirely and will try to eat piñata Z if possible, and so on. It can be pretty confusing and frustrating at times but how can not like those cute little creatures?
