Definitely worth the money. Essential points: Graphics - 5 stars Character Design - 4 stars Ease of Use - 3.5 stars Battle System - 4 stars Story - 5 stars Enjoyment Factor - 5 stars I don't have a very big game budget, so I have to choose my titles with care. After doing a bunch of research and reading all the review...

Great adventure game. This was my introduction to the Far Cry universe of gaming, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised. The graphics during gameplay are beautiful, and the game itself is really fun to play -- you genuinely feel like a person against nature. I've quite enjoyed the freedom to roam around and select mission...

Premium price for not Premium Support. I purchased the A30 headset along with Astro's mixAmp and life was great. The A30s come with everything you need to use them with your PC, PS3, and XBox. Finally, one head set for everything. No expense was spared and these beauties come with all the fixings including a very well ...

A sequel..... but really only in name. While this is a second installment to the franchise, it really merely feels like a continuation of the first. Now there is a solo quest line that can garner coins and progression, but even still it doesn't quite have a sense that you are really accomplishing much in the process ot...

Campaign is Great, But The Competetive Multiplayer Is BROKEN. As the title of this review mentions, the single player and co-op campaign is great, but if you enjoyed the multiplayer in the first game be prepared to be disappointed beyond belief. 1) MULTIPLAYER IS BROKEN: At the time of this writing, it takes at least...

A Must-Have for Every XBox Owner. If you have a wireless controller for your XBox 360, then you MUST get a play and charge unit.

Started off great and ended in disappointment . . . I enjoyed the first Two Worlds and I really enjoyed Two Worlds 2 at the beginning.

Black Ops 2 Uprising DLC. This map pack is in line with just about every other map pack that's been released as of late. You get what's advertised: 4 maps and a new Zombies mode. Personally, I never play zombies, so I bought this DLC purely for the multiplayer maps. I have had a few hours experience with the map pac...

Are ya kidding. I was thinking this was going to be another WWII arcade style flight-sim, similar to "Secret Weapons Over Normandy", but the developers must've had a screw loose when they put togther the control system.

Constantly breaking, and atrocious customer support. No more than 3 months ago I purchased a set of the AX pro headset.

Not really all that Xtreme. Rather strange game. There are many of these infamous DOA Beach Volleyball games now. This first one is actually pretty tame. Sort of sim/volleyball game. The game is a two week vacation where you get to choose from a variety of DOA girls. During those two weeks you can play volleyball, a po...

Just plain fun. I just recently got this game after reading many of the pros and cons of others. Quite simply this is one of the most FUN games I've ever played. The most common complaints I've seen have been "not enough levels" or "too easy". To the latter, I say, try upping the difficulty level. This game is *anythin...

NO. Blops 2 is by the far the worst game in the whole series. I have been a faithful COD player since COD 3 and 4. COD4 was an easy five star, probably one of the best, if not THE BEST multiplayer experience/game ever; even the campaign was amazing and innovative. I never played WAW. Then there was MW2, an obvious step...

Bioware=sleep deprivation. There are a large number of well thought out (and long ;)) posted reviews of "Dragon Age: Origins", so I will be brief. First, let's get this out of the way.

Final Chapter to the Stories of Altair and Ezio. I'm AC fan, yet I am still critical of the games I play. I liked this game, but I didn't completely fall in love.

2014 -- Seven Years Later and I'd Rather Play This. Owning an XBOX 360 exclusively, I'm pretty jealous of Playstation 3 owners who get to play the amazing MLB: The Show series.

My favorite Suda 51 game, and an underrated gem. Lollipop Chainsaw plays like an old school beat 'em up from a bygone era.

Don't expect that modern, new school, Bayonetta style combat from t...

12 year old game and they cut it to pieces. You SUCK, Rockstar. They ruined our favorite game.

Brilliant. I have just finished the game after spending about 25 hours on it.

Best NBA Live Ever. I really don't know what happened this year. Reports claim that a lead game designer for NBA 2K left the company and is now with EA.

A blast. First off, It's sad that some of these people are giving this a bad review because they were the first ones up to buy the console even though they knew the risk that the first editions were faulty.

Multipurpose accessory that is a must-have for XB1 owners. I purchased one of these last week from a local retailer, as supplies were very limited everywhere.

A solid game. For anyone who's never played the original star wars lego game - it's a tongue-in-cheek take on the star wars franchise. The characters never have spoken dialogue, and the re-created cut-scenes are "modified" to be a little more funny (like R2-D2 falling off the back of Luke's land speeder). The game pl...

The most realistic yet. First let me say this is NOT a first person shooter, the camera is placed in a third person view directly over whichever team you happen to be controlling at the time. If you can get past that, you're in for a good time. With that said, I'll say this is the most tactically solid war game I've y...

Fun Game with a few issues. Generally speaking, this is a fun game. I purchased this much after the original release date after a friend recommended it.

Great game. I believe that this game has been largely under-appreciated because many people got lost and confused in the beginning of the game.

Too much to pay for only 8MB. $21.95 for 8MB of memory??!! This is unacceptable. 8MB equates to around 500 blocks of space for the XBOX. 500 blocks would only hold one Splinter Cell save, there are some games (KOTOR) that you can't even save because the file is too big. Sure the XBOX has a massive hard drive, but w...

Decent Game but Not revolutionary to the genre. Let me say first, my hats off to MS for the massive marketing campaign they did for this game.

Unbiased Review for an Unmatched Game. Despite what many think, Medal of Honor set the stage for the begining of the Call of Duty series.

I had to solder four wires. Be aware that you will have to take the circuit board off your old, defective DVD drive. Xbox 360 units come with three or four different drive brands inside - if you, like me, had a DVD drive stop reading and you cleaned the laser to no effect, then check your brand.
