Two squads of hired mercenaries parachute into the jungle to rescue a kidnapped VIP from guerrilla forces. It sounds like a cliched setting for another run-of-the-mill first-person shooter, but developer Atomic Motion is adding one key twist that it hopes will help Raven Squad stand out from the crowd. In addition to running and gunning in first-person view, you will be able to pull back to an overhead satellite view and issue orders to your squads as if they were units in a real-time strategy game. Gamespot checked out publisher SouthPeak Interactive's booth at E3 2008 and got a look at this interesting new hybrid game in action.
MMGN: The Xbox 360 doesn’t have an unblemished record. There have been some shocking games released on 360, as there are on any platform, and many of them were before Kinect launched.
As we did with the PlayStation 3 earlier this year, let’s take a look at six of the worst exclusives released on Xbox 360.
how perfect dark zero has an 81 metascore is beyond me. it just shows how lenient critics are towards xbox games. They all jumped on haze, when really the only problem was that it was "bland" and "mediocre." Perfect dark zero is a broken, primitive, ugly mess.
The Xbox has 6 exclusives?
I kid, I kid. Don't flame me lol.
But I I thought perfect dark zero was a good one since some of my friends said they enjoyed it. But since I don't own the console I can't say for my self. A couple of these games I haven't even heard of tbh.
I bought Two Human for about £1.75 used... About 7 months after release
For the price I paid it was "okay" but if I had bought it brand new, I'd be pretty miffed.
The rest look like junk and glad I've not played them.
I quite liked Too Human and perfect Dark Zero, maybe I just have lower standards? Havent played the rest though.
Watch the Game Reactor presentation and learn more at the game, Raven Squad.

It's a wonder nobody has capitalized on using that ever-popular tropical jungle setting for a campy action title. That is until now! Raven Squad lets you lead two groups of commandos (to I guess it should really be called Raven Squads) in to the jungle, possibly involving Jesse Ventura. The game attempts to combine the action of first person shooters and the planning of real time strategy games into a cohesive package of awesomeness. Though we have mostly seen use of role-playing elements in other genres, a FPS-RTS combination is almost unique. How does it all work out?"
