A remake of Ninja Gaiden — a popular arcade action game, very successful on arcade machines as well as on most major gaming platforms during the late 80s and early 90s — developed with Xbox in mind. In the game, we assume the role of the eponymous warrior named Ryu who seeks revenge on the mysterious organization called Vigoor Empire and its leader, the man responsible for murdering the protagonist’s clan and stealing the magical sword Ryuken. Fighting subsequent hordes of enemies is, as you could expect, the key gameplay element, although the Xbox version, in contrast to the original, offers fully 3D graphics with dynamic camera. The game also comes with a larger arsenal of melee weapons as well as a simple progression system, which allows us to learn new techniques and upgrade our armaments.

A stand-alone expansion to the bestselling racing game Forza Horizon 2. The expansion was developed by Turn 10 in cooperation with the creators of the film franchise Fast and Furious. Its main objective is to promote the seventh installment of this very popular movie series. In the game the player assumes the role of a driver hired by Tej Parker, a character known from the movies (played by Ludacris). He must deliver selected cars to his employer. The mechanics of the game are similar to the ones from the original Forza Horizon 2. The main difference is the option to use nitro during some races. The player can participate in series of races by using 10 cars from Furious 7 and previous movies. Among them there are Dodge Charger R/T, Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra. Each car was recreated in detail based on the materials obtained from the creators of the film.

The third installment in a series of popular, open-world futuristic action games. Crackdown 3 introduces the franchise to the eighth-gen consoles. The game was created by Cloudgine – a British studio led by David Jones, who is the father of the series. Similar to the previous installments, the player is taken to a futuristic city of an open structure, assuming the role of a futuristic officer of the law who faces organized crime. The player has a wide variety of cutting-edge weapons and parts of equipment at their disposal, though in terms of the mechanics, the game follows the successful patterns of the predeceasing titles. As usual, the story campaign is an open-world experience here and it can be played in the co-op mode as well.

Another installment in a series of popular arcade fighting games developed by Team Ninja. It is the first installment to be released on Xbox 360. The game features three new playable characters, including Eliot (a Xing Yi Quan fighter - the style is based on rapid punches with open palms), Kokoro (a black-haired beauty using the style of Virtua Fighter's Akira) and a female wrestler wearing a mask. Apart from the new characters, the game offers various fighters from previous installments, such as Ryu Hayabusa or Kasumi. When it comes to the mechanics, it is an old-school fighting game - two opponents face each other in a fight which lasts until one of them is defeated. Counter-attack mechanics were improved in this installment in order to maintain a healthy balance between attack and defense. Fighting takes place on multi-leveled arenas filled with destructible objects and surprises, such as cars passing by, which can be used against the opponent. The game offers an extensive online component, featuring clans and international tournaments. Additionally, both the graphics and character physics were improved.
