Rallisport Challenge 2

I picked this one up on a friend's recommendation. He said that Rallisport Challenge 2 has the "best controller vibration design of any game" he's ever played. With such high praise, I had to check it out. And, truly, the depth of design that went into the vibration feature...

Xyanide

This was a very nice 2-player co-op shooter. It mixed 3D art and gameplay with 2D controls in a way that I never would have tried, but which ended up working out quite well. The game puts you in control of an organic spaceship with Robotron controls and...

Justice League Heroes

I bought this because it was the only co-op game I could find in a store that was liquidating all their Xbox games. It sold for $20, so my expectations were low from the start. But then, all I really wanted was a passably fun co-op game to...

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse

This game was one of those rare original IPs that comes out of nowhere and impresses on nearly every front when considering my expectations of the title. I picked this game up because I'm a fan of new trends in gaming, and flipping the zombie genre around and having...

kill. switch

It's a decent game. The final level is pretty hard. The final boss is a piece of cake. Bad stuff: Enemies can occasionally spawn right in front of you, especially if you "run-and-gun" through the level (instead of playing it through using cover). You have a variety of gun types, but...

Karaoke Revolution Party

It has about 50 songs (I haven't unlocked them all yet) with another 100 or so downloadable via Xbox Live if you're inclined to play $5 for each song pack. What sets this game apart (and arguably makes it the best Karaoke game yet) are the multiplayer options and the DDR...

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball

So, DOAX. Ok, now this is a good game. Quite a good game, but the reason it only gets a 7.0 is because of these omissions that in my opinion, would have boosted the game from good to effing great. *There's no 4 player mode *There's no 2 player co-op mode even though...

Advent Rising

Advent Rising is a mixed bag. On one hand, there's a lot of good in this game. It has, hands down, the best story I've seen in a video game in a long, long time. As well it should, since the screenplay was written by Orson Scott Card, one of...

Doom

Hey there everybody. I imagine that many of you are rolling your eyes at my Game-O-Meter score for this game, and as such, I feel that I must explain myself a bit. The first thing to realize is that I've never really liked the first Doom game, even when it...
