    Need For Speed Most Wanted

    Need For Speed Most Wanted is somewhat of a sleeper title for the Xbox 360 launch, considering how fast EA Games can crank these ones out.  However, this one is most definatly worth taking a look at.  After having your Beamer tampered with you lose in a pink slip race and lose your ride to Razor Callahan, to win your ride back you're going to have to climb a blacklist of 15 racers, and put your ride on the line each and every time you race. 
     
     
    However, the blacklist is the least of your troubles when you hit the pavement; the true difficulty in this game comes from evading the Police which will be required often.  Roadblocks, spike strips, rouge helicopters you know the usuall.  Once you earn your ride back you might want to check into the other elements of the game such as the challenge serries or take your ride online for bragging rights.  The game features a variety of cars, varrying from domestic to import cars.  From the Chrevrolet Cobalt to a Lamborgini Gallardo, you can find something that catches your eye.

    Madden NFL 06

    Madden NFL 06 for the Xbox 360 is probably the most unexpected flops for the 360's Winter Launch.  The game seems to be a scale back in playability, customizations, online play, audio.  Actually the game is a step back in many ways except for the graphical components which are the best EA sports has ever produced. 
     
     
    Unfortunatly for this title the steps backwards far outweigh the steps forwards.  In fact the game only contains Madden 2002 contect; which is the Franchise mode... actually this version is a step backwards as there are no "Create A Player," or "Create A Team," options.  While it may look great it looks like EA has rushed a product onto the shelves for launch, better luck with Madden 07.

    Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

    I recently bought the only current Xbox 360 title that is currently worth sixty dollars.  Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is by far the most intriging and realistic FPS I have ever had the priveledge of playing.  The game is set in the streets of Mexico torn and broken into factions as a result of American weaponry "Guardrail 9," it's your job to eliminate this technology.
     
     
    The only critisism of this game is that the single player campaign can be completed in about six, to seven hours which is relativly short for a sixty dollar game.  However, the online play and Co-op campaign which is expected to have downloadable missions and other content would be sure to keep any player busy.

    K. Collins Is Gone

    Well, the worst quarterback in Raiders history is gone, maybe he could get a job selling peanuts because I'm pretty sure no NFL team is going to want him... except maybe Baltimore.
