If Grand Theft Auto created the open-world genre, Saints Row for the Xbox 360 has taken some bold steps to refine it. The fictional city of Stilwater is plagued by violence. Four rival gangs compete for turf through a series of petty crimes, street races, and vicious urban gun fights. One of these gangs is the 3rd Street Saints. As the newest initiate to the Saints, it’s your job to earn respect and street credit by accomplishing missions and running rival gangs out of your territory. Saints Row features a robust character creation system and allows you to take the fight online in a collection of multiplayer modes. Saints Row is available exclusively for the Xbox 360. Less

Ever since the first mention of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, we’ve been seeing tech demos of Epic Games’ masterpiece, Gears of War. Now that the game has hit store shelves, it’s obvious that the hype couldn’t exceed the brilliance that is the Unreal Engine 3.0. In Gears of War, you play as Marcus Fenix, a former war hero wrongly imprisoned by the government and now, the world’s lone hope. Combat the Locust Horde on the dilapidated streets of the planet Sera using a variety of machine guns, pistols, and grenades. Take the fight online in one of five unique multiplayer modes, and tackle the main campaign with a friend using online or split-screen coop. Less

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is the one game that caused me to defect from PC gaming to console gaming. I bought my Playstation 2 back in December of 2002 and the rest is history. Given the success of the GTA franchise, many have looked to imitate the style in many different ways. And some games... Read full review »

Saint's Row, by THQ and Volition, is the latest phenomenon on the Xbox 360, rushing to the top of the charts and generating a distinctive buzz among gamers. Any fan of the Grand Theft Auto series will recognize most of the elements, and it can be hard to separate the two franchises (assuming... Read full review »

Pros deep gameplay, great online multiplayer, tremendous graphics and sound
Cons story could use more depth, could use some more diverse multiplayer options
Recommended it? Yes

Gears of War is the title to have if you own an Xbox 360 this Christmas. Still one wonders whether this title is just a placeholder until Halo 3 comes out. Ironically this would be similar to a situation last generation where Epic released a surprisingly solid Unreal Championship for the original... Read full review »

Cons Story needs some explaining, single campaign is short, no replay value.
Recommended it? Yes

I do not want to sound like a prick. I do not want to sound like a bastard. But I must tell you the truth. So here it goes: Gears Of War is fun as hell and whoever that doesn't have it...should well, let's say you'll be missing out on a lot! Gears Of War has been highly anticipated over the year...
