LA Noire

A detective noir thriller from the combined creators of Grand Theft Auto and The Getaway, L.A. Noire promises the gritty crime and corruption we expect in a classic setting we totally didn't.

The Last Remnant

20/11/2008

Square Enix gives the 360 a go using the Unreal 3 engine, and after a rocky start, it comes together for a good time.

Left 4 Dead

18/11/2008

An incredibly tense multiplayer experience like no other. A must buy for shooter fans.

Left 4 Dead 2

More maps, more enemies, more weapons, more glorious spectacle than the original, and that’s just the co-op. Fresh versus modes and intense violence make this the apocalypse to beat.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

21/11/2008

Once again Spyro can do no better than be too boring and difficult for the kids it wants to sell to, while being too kiddy for adults. On the other hand the drop-in/drop-out co-op is good, and Elijah Wood is good as Spyro's voice actor.

Legendary

24/10/2008

Filled with good ideas, Legendary falters in execution, featuring repetition and average FPS mechanics.

LEGO Batman: The Videogame

Indy was about paying homage; Batman is about embracing the dizzying, if essentially silly scope of his universe. Sure, it may not revolutionize the LEGO formula, but if this is the price to see Batman finally done some virtual justice, then so be it.

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.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

20/11/2009

Continuing the LEGO-ized adventures of Indiana Jones, it improves on the previous formula, though it has some low points, mostly involving levels from the Crystal Skull.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

6/06/2008

Indy hits the small screen in block form. It's fun in small doses, but not as consistently entertaining as LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO Rock Band

27/11/2009

Rock Band wasn’t that complex to begin with, but this kid-friendly rhythm action title deserves to exist simply because it’s nearly as fun and far cuter.

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

A blocky empire strikes back in this sequel to the surprisingly enjoyable lite actioner Lego Star Wars.

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

LEGO Star Wars is one of the most joyous, unpretentious, brilliant games you'll play on your newest console.

Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust

Awful graphics and frustrating controls make this game a bust of box office proportions.

Lips

21/11/2008

The 360 attempts to move in on SingStar's territory with Lips, which is a fine competitor, but only has a leg up on the champ in the mic department.

Lips: Number One Hits

This release in Microsoft's karaoke series focuses on hits spanning several decades, with songs by Coldplay, MC Hammer, Culture Club and Roy Orbison.

LMA Manager 2007

Codemasters' popular management sim goes from strength to strength

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal

This is one unfunny adventure game that's not even worth the energy to come up with a Porky the Pig pun.

Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle-earth II

The only thing better than hacking orcs to pieces? Commanding an army of screaming, blood-crazed elves to do it for you.

Lord of the Rings: Conquest

16/01/2009

We had high hopes for this game, but it gets everything wrong: poor mechanics, horrible presentation, dull combat, worthless maps, and total contempt for the mythology. Don't waste your time.
