The Gameplay of Nexuiz is fun, refreshing and addictive. There is a variety of cool weapons such as machine guns, rocket launchers, sniper rifles, etc. Each battle starts you off with a shotgun, and as you explore the map, you find many different weapons that you can pick up, without having to drop any of the ones you have. Also, most weapons have two shooting features, short range on the right trigger, and long rang on the left, or vice versa. The main problem I had with the game was the presentation. The graphics are what you would expect from the CryEngine (amazing) and there are many catchy tunes throughout the game, but the menus and leaderboards ruined the experience for me. The menus look like they were taken from a fps made in 1996, and really contrast from the polished feeling of the game. There are no tutorials, besides a picture of a controller and which buttons do what. This would usually not be a problem, but since this game is a lot different from other fps's on the market, there is a very steep learning curve. But my biggest problem with the game is the stats. I have played this game multiple times, but it seems it has only recorded my stats from the first game i have played. I'm lucky, some people's stats say that they have not played a single game. Hopefully they give some patches and updates, but until then, I can not enjoy the game as much as I wish i could.

Imagine Your favorite marble maze game (ex. Super Monkey Ball, Marble Madness). Now imagine that with a blob of thick liquid. Although the main game could be beat in a measly 2 hours, there is many bonus levels and things for the perfectionist to keep playing. And at 5 bucks, this is a steal.

Before reading this, the 360 version of portal 2 is lacking a few of the features that the other systems have. That being said, not only is this one of the best games of the year, it has moved to my #1 favorite game of all time. The puzzles are ingenious, the story is top notch, the voice acting is hilarious, and has the greatest ending in any game i have ever played. But valve did not stop there. They added an extra 12 of content with the newly added co-op mode, which is a blast to play around with friends. You must buy this game

Despite some small flaws, Bastion Is Not only one of the best xbla games this year, but the best xbla game so far. From the exelent narrator, to the upgrading system, to the shrine, this game should be on every xbox hardrive
