Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Conveniently timed to come out when the Prince of Persia film is released in theaters, this game ignores the last franchise release and takes place in the Sands of Time mythology which the film is based on.

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors

Nov 17, 2009

Based on the popular kids show and card game, this action-RPG expands the show's universe with a plot by writers from the TV series.

Axel & Pixel

Oct 14, 2009

An artist (Axel) and his dog (Pixel) enter a strange world and must work together to solve puzzles in this XBLA release. The engrossing adventure is a bit short, but a decent selection of collectibles will drag you back once you’re done.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

This strange looking game based around a Victorian-era world and one gentleman's search for pies is coming to XBLA real soon.

Brave: A Warrior's Tale

Aug 4, 2009

Brave might've been a solid platformer on PlayStation 2, but A Warrior's Tale is a careless port rife with buggy gameplay, poor visuals, and haphazardly-implemented bonus stages.

CSI: Deadly Intent

Oct 27, 2009

This adventure game based on the CBS Drama is an open and shut case of weak visuals and weaker logic puzzles. Seems like this particular sample of the crop (puts on sunglasses) just wasn’t the cream.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition

Jul 15, 2009

This classic adventure game returns to XBLA so a whole new audience can enjoy the world-class humor, but with a graphical update that's easy on the eyes.

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4

Taking the insanely popular LEGO franchise and combining it with the insanely popular Harry Potter franchise, we are left with LEGO Harry Potter and a game that covers the first four books/films.

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City

Oct 29, 2009

Enjoy GTA IV but don't have the internets to get the DLC? Well just in time for the second episode, here's a disc that contains both DLC episodes (The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) and you don't even need GTA IV to play it. Taken together, these give a new and amazing experience based around an already phenomenal game.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

May 13, 2009

It’s solid and glossy, but difficulty is engineered towards the most simple-minded of kids, and the "collect parts of an ancient amulet" plot, allied to obvious challenges, doesn’t make for a hugely satisfying game.

G-Force

Jul 21, 2009

Like the kinda-okay Bolt before it, G-Force makes its transition from movies to the world of video games with ease. That doesn’t mean it’s worth playing, however.

Sam & Max Save the World

The chaotic animal duo takes their first season of episodic adventures to Xbox Live Arcade, so even more gamers can laugh at their odd exploits.

Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space

Oct 14, 2009

This XBLA collection of the second season of Sam and Max is another superb addition to the much loved series. If you’re a fan of the duo, go get it.

American McGee's Alice (2009)

After the less than spectacular Grimm titles, American McGee returns to one of his most successful properties.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009

Sep 23, 2008

The long running, consistently crappy, simulated animal killing series makes the jump to current-gen and is still atrocious.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode Two

Oct 29, 2008

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

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Nov 4, 2008

As the Dreamworks Animation machine releases another money collector on film, so too must a game be made for that property. Thus lurches another empty exercise filled with dull celebrity voices and simple gameplay. It will then sell a million copies.

Overlord II

Jun 23, 2009

The cult hit now returns full force in this sequel which allows for more mayhem than before with expanded abilities for your minions. Still, the inventive premise and genuine humor is held back by some glaring technical flaws.

Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures Episode 1

May 27, 2009

While being predictable and just as quick to finish as the short films, Wallace and Gromit's episodic content is easily accessible to casual gamers and fans.

I Am Alive

This mysterious new title from Ubisoft is set in a modern-day Chicago devastated by a unkown force.
