1. Braid

Score = 93%   Rated E10+   (2008)   [Download]

live-logo-h29w70.jpgBraid is a celebrated single player puzzle-platformer for play on the Xbox 360 gaming system. Drawn in a dreamlike painterly style, in the world of Braid the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways to traverse the dangerous levels and solve puzzles in order to rescue an abducted princess. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world and story, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.

Originally only available only as a download through Xbox LIVE Arcade using Microsoft Points, Braid can now be yours via online game code. Players will still need both an Xbox 360 console connected to broadband Internet and an Xbox LIVE account game download for play.

"Braid is one of the top three games available on Xbox Live Arcade. While it LOOKS like a platformer, it is actually a time bending puzzle game that will challenge and entertain you every step of the way. As an added bonus, the gameplay reveals a multi-layered story which can lead to some insightful, if not down right philosophical discussion, if you so choose. I highly recommend it."

2. Street Fighter IV

Score = 93%   Rated: Teen   (2009)

Street Fighter IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter II, and infusing them with Capcom's latest advancements in next generation technology. The result is a truly extraordinary experience destined to reintroduce players, both familiar with the Street Fighter series and those coming to the game for the first time, to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.

Amazon Price: $10.95 (as of 02/12/2012)Buy Now

"Street fighter IV is a must-have title for any self-respecting fighting fan. Period. What I like most in Street Fighter IV is the mechanics. The controls feel smooth doing Hudokens and Tiger uppercuts never felt better. SF IV is fun to play alone, on couch with friends or online making it have high replay value."

3. Guitar Hero II

Score = 92%   Rated: Teen   (2007)

Guitar Hero II comes to Xbox 360 and features a huge track list, more venues and new play modes than in the original game, and a goal to rock longer and harder than its predecessor. In this new release RedOctane has once again teamed up with veteran music game developer Harmonix for the sequel, and is using famed recording studio WaveGroup for its music production, who also recorded the covers for the licensed tracks in the original Guitar Hero. Bundle includes wired X-Plorer style guitar controller, guitar strap and decals.

Amazon Price: $146.00 (as of 02/12/2012)Buy Now

"Guitar Hero for the Xbox 360 brings out the animal in any Xbox 360 owner who has ambitions to be like their rock heroes. The gameplay follows suit like it did with the Playstation 2 edition, as you strum your guitar through over 50 classic rock songs. What seperates this one nicely though is that you can actually download songs from Xbox live and use those songs on this game as well to add to the fun."

4. Rock Band 2

Score = 92%   Rated: Teen   (2008)

Rock Band 2 is an all-new platform for gamers ready to take on the challenges of the Rock & Roll lifestyle.

This is a truly great game, and if you play it you will know how good it is."

live-logo-h29w70.jpgSet in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.

Portal: Still Alive [Online Game Code]

Amazon Price: (as of 02/12/2012)Buy Now

"The stand-alone arcade version of Portal is a terrific little game and well worth the modest cost. If you've got the Orange Box retail game, skip this. But if not, or if you absolutely LOVED it in OB and want to get the extra challenges, go for it. Such a simple concept gets used in so many different ways that the entire game."
