Gun Review (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/gun/review.html?)

6.4

The Good:
Terrific voice acting; fun horseback riding; some intense, gory shooting action.

The Bad
Short storyline isn't made up for by shallow side missions; some noticeably undercooked elements of play; some of the violence and profanity feels too gratuitous; visuals don't take advantage of the xbox 360, looking bland and blurry; higher retail price than other versions for no good reason.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland Review (http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/sports/tonyhawksunderground3/review.html?)

6.6

The Good:
Compelling story mode; interesting bmx trick system; game contains a healthy dose of crunk juice; 360 controller's four shoulder buttons are perfect for playing this style of game

The Bad
Character models and textures look pretty bad in HD resolutions; classic mode contains old levels that aren't exactly classic; graphical glitches further mar the game's visuals; story mode holds your hand every step of the way; costs $10 more than other versions for no good reason.

I played Gun on the PC and it was so horrible I uninstalled it instantly. havent done that in awhile. The game is very jerky and the shadows and water effects are so horrid. The characters have paws like GTA guys. The only decent part of the graphics I saw were the faces sometimes, but overall the game looks horrid. It was a bad use of the technology in my opinon.

the game also wasn't very fun. The gunfighting is dull because you have a reticule the size of texas in the middle of your screen which will hit the baddie no matter where you are in the reticule.

oh yeah an even more amusing thing is stupid gamepro gave both of those 360 ports a 4.5/5. I really hate gamepro and even getting it for free sometimes makes me wish I didnt. I want my egm back =/

This is exactly what I did. Ugh, what a waste of hard drive space. As for the X360 reviews, I'm hardly surprised. Seeing as how these were both recently released current-gen games, the X360 ports were obviously just blatant chances for the companies to maximize profits with 60 dollar pricetags.
