GamesRadar - Xbox 360 Screenshots

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (Screenshots)

Aug 28, 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.

Madagascar Kartz (Screenshots)

Nov 11, 2009

We're surprised it took this long for the merchandised crap machine to squeeze this one out, but this licensed "kartz" racer is as by the numbers and lifeless as you'd expect. On the plus side, you can race as Shrek!

Madballs in Babo: Invasion (Screenshots)

May 28, 2009

The roll-and-gun gameplay is easy to pick up and offers a surprising amount of fun for ten bucks on XBLA - the intense multiplayer is the highlight.

Madden NFL 07 (Screenshots)

Aug 22, 2006

Football's perennial all-star is back again. The 360 version is obviously the prettiest, but it still lags slightly behind the PS2 and Xbox versions in the gameplay department.

Madden NFL 08 (Screenshots)

Aug 2, 2007

There's nothing quite like going high for a concussive knockout or low to ruin a knee or two.

Madden NFL 09 (Screenshots)

Jul 15, 2008

Like a 13-10 overtime win, Madden 09 doesn't totally wow us but definitely gets the job done. Saddle us up for another season, even though we're a tad underwhelmed.

Madden NFL 10 (Screenshots)

Sep 25, 2009

The gameplay has been honed to near-perfection, but the erratic presentation hiccups get more irritating with each passing day.

Madden NFL Arcade (Screenshots)

Nov 19, 2009

A pick-up-and-play, 5-on-5 football game for both casual and diehard NFL fans, available via Xbox Live Arcade.

Mafia II (Screenshots)

Aug 20, 2009

The sequel to the best-selling game Mafia again takes place in a time when gangsters were cool, liquor was something you could smuggle and everybody wore cool hats.

Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (Screenshots)

Aug 17, 2009

Planeswalkers for XBLA is a great choice for re-living moments of nerdy nostalgia or diving into the card game for the first time. It’s certainly a hell of a lot cheaper.

Magnacarta 2 (Screenshots)

Oct 13, 2009

This 360-exclusive has a unique mix of strategy and real-time gameplay with nice graphics, but it's got so little that makes it any more special than every other JRPG.

Major League Baseball 2K6 (Screenshots)

Mar 17, 2006

Sure, the 360 version looks a little better, but it doesn't play any better and even introduces a few bugs. Save your $20 and stick with the current gen release

Major League Baseball 2K7 (Screenshots)

Jan 31, 2007

This year's overhauled slugger is on deck to offer one of the best baseball experiences ever seen.

Major League Baseball 2K8 (Screenshots)

Feb 15, 2008

The slick visuals and smooth gameplay of last year have been struck out and sent to the bench.

Major League Baseball 2K9 (Screenshots)

Mar 3, 2009

Hitting, pitching, and fielding are (mostly) easier than ever, making 2K9 much more accessible than its predecessors. Sadly, the scads of visual hiccups keep it from legendary status.

Marathon: Durandal - Xbox Live Arcade (Screenshots)

Jul 27, 2007

The reason people want to play this game again is that it's Bungie's first FPS - those are the guys who made Halo, and that's a very good reason.

Marble Blast Ultra - Xbox Live Arcade (Screenshots)

Dec 5, 2007

Roll your ass around 60 thumb-crushing levels or jump online to go ball to ball with up to seven other marble madmen.

Mars (Screenshots)

Apr 16, 2009

This new franchise promises an RPG with satisfying action. We hope it can deliver.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Screenshots)

Apr 2, 2007

Comic-book fanboys will love this universe-spanning adventure featuring a ridiculous amount of Marvel superheroes and villains.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (Screenshots)

Sep 8, 2009

Gaming's biggest collection of Marvel heroes in one place returns with some new tricks, but mostly feels too similar to the last version.
