"Why don't I like Fallout 3? I just am not getting into it. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm supposed to be looking for a radio station. I am taking my time, doing some exploring and really trying to enjoy it. While I'm playing though, all I can think about is wanting to play something else."

Heads Up — 7/31
WORDS BY: Ryan Loren
Welcome to our new weekly online column, Heads Up. If you’ve ever searched around the internet looking for a current report on everything the Xbox 360 has to offer, you’ve no doubt hit numerous dead-ends. Heads Up attempts to alleviate your frustrations by offering a quick and complete guide to what you may have missed over the past week, online and in stores.
A very special issue of Heads Up reviews the last half-month of what you may have missed. E3 fervor took over the offices last week, sending our already busy lives into a desperate tailspin of frenzied labor. The releases never disappoint though and if you kept your ear to the ground, you noticed the high quality of recent titles: Soulcalibur IV and Geometry Wars 2 both snagged Editors' Choice honors!
JEWEL OF THE WEEK:
FaceBreaker Demo
It’s not often a demo makes it into this space and even less often it does so over two Editors' Choice titles. Take that blessing alone as reason to try out this game. While any official review score is still months away from being unveiled, the demo is packed full of bloody humor and bone-crunching gameplay. Get ready to turn your LOL’s into genuine laughs, and your FTW’s into actual pwnage!

Why isn't Ninja Gaiden 2's Mission Mode listed there? It came out this week that just passed. Please fix, if you can.

It's a strategy RPG. My buddy has been playing it and he said it was alright. He just really likes strategy RPG's and since the only other one on the 360 is crap he settled with this one.

I thought I was pretty in tune with gaming... But what the hell is Spectral Force 3?
