I Want
Tomb Raider: Underworld (Xbox 360)

Fixing some of the issues that made Legend only pretty good, Underworld's focus is entirely on platforming, and it's all the better for it.

Far Cry Instincts Predator (Xbox 360)
Beautiful, challening and fun. Though not without flaws, this stalker's still waters run deep.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot (Xbox 360)
This sequel combines mutated beasts, sewer-crawling, forensic investigation, and the fun of being an alcoholic with great atmosphere to create an incredibly dark, and horrifically violent adventure.
Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

This anti-GTA IV doesn't have the technical niceties (graphical hiccups abound) or Oscar-worthy story of Rockstar's magnum opus, but wins on pure fun factor and gleeful silliness. Co-op ...

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One (Xbox 360)
Though not set in the world of the strip, this simple, but hilarious, RPG has all its trademark humor. If you happen to not like the strip (philistine) then you ...
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode Two (Xbox 360)

The electronic adventures of Gabe and Tycho continue with improvements from the already quality time of Episode 1.

I'm playing
Bejeweled 2 - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
The mild enhancements to Bejeweled 2 don't overcome that been-there feeling. There are better puzzle games for the money in the Xbox Live Arcade.
Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)

Once you get past Far Cry 2’s huge learning curve, you will find a lovely looking and intricately strategic shooter.

Dead Rising (Xbox 360)
It might look like a simple game of Whack-A-Zombie, but Dead Rising brings multi-layered gameplay and tough decisions that hardcore gamers will love making.
I've Beaten
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas (Xbox 360)
Clean the filth out of Vegas - one headshot at a time - in this deep, strategic and intense team-based shooter.
Jewel Quest - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
Yet another game that presents us with an infinite supply of highly unstable, combustible jewels ... whee!
Eragon (Xbox 360)
A predictably hacky, slashy, sadly repetitive jaunt through a magical kingdom filled with swords and magic, with a little dragon riding on the side. The book has to be better.
Ratatouille (Xbox 360)
The videogame version of Ratatouille has all the great looks of Pixar, but only half the heart.
Two Worlds (Xbox 360)
Three warring factions, two worlds, one hero... Sounds like a lot of stuff.
Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix (Xbox 360)
Harry's back for another movie based adventure, this time with a more mission based structure.
Collecting Dust
Saints Row (Xbox 360)
A Grand Theft Auto wannabe packing two concepts we can't get enough of: crime-based freeform gameplay and zoot suits.
Hexic HD - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
Utterly addictive and unusually deep, Hexic HD sits proudly alongside puzzle classics like Tetris and Lumines.
Phantasy Star Universe (Xbox 360)
What are you looking for in the Phantasy Star Universe experience? If it's an online dungeon crawler, then this will do the trick. If it's a compelling story ...
Galaga - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
This arcade classic still plays great, but we're not forgiving the creators for taking away all the two-player modes.
Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360)
This sequel to the open world, super-powered romp hopes to ramp up the awesome.
Super Contra - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
Super Contra really is just more of the same, and if that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.
I Love
Far Cry Instincts Predator (Xbox 360)
Beautiful, challening and fun. Though not without flaws, this stalker's still waters run deep.
The Orange Box (Xbox 360)
The Orange Box has five big sections - Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2: Episode One - and they're juicy, delicious, and priced to ...
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
It's the RPG puzzle gamers never knew they wanted!
Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

Treyarch ditches the number subtitle and expectedly returns to WWII and the Pacific theatre of war. World at War has extremely brutal gunplay and amazing online multiplayer and co-op modes ...

The Godfather (Xbox 360)
A markedly beefed-up and improved version of the movie-themed Grand Theft Auto clone that casts you as a foot soldier in the Corleone crime family.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
The fourth Elder Scrolls entry is utterly brilliant and should not be missed by any adventure-spirited gamer.
I Hate
Eragon (Xbox 360)
A predictably hacky, slashy, sadly repetitive jaunt through a magical kingdom filled with swords and magic, with a little dragon riding on the side. The book has to be better.
Yaris - Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360)
Buy the car. Live the game. Better yet, don't.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (Xbox 360)
The squad-based military shooter returns with a better story, better graphics, better multiplayer and, of course, better explosions.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360)
Blackhawk down, under fire from every angle, a Mexican Army with rocket launchers ... Where do we sign up?
