Broken passing game holds the title from becoming a great game.

Top of the class AI and Physics. Forza 5 is an excellent racing sim. I have and still do play MANY racing "sims". Whether it's on PC, Playstation, or Xbox I've probably played it or still do play it. My focus is on physics, AI and the quality of what I get when it comes to this particular series. Typically PC sims del...

A Fanastic Tale of Brothers in Arms that Truly Turn the Gears of War. In a nutshell, gears of war is a great game.

The weapons are diverse and unique, ...

May not be the most original, but still a lot of fun. I was looking forward to this game for a long time and it did not disappoint me. Most people compare this game to the God of War games, but I haven't played any of those games so I can't comment on that. All I know is that this is a very solid action title that sh...

Without the extreme gore, it's generic as ever.

Zank's Review. Story: Aside from the aspect of everything being Chopin's dream, the story is pretty decent.

Challenging, fun and atmospheric...but it could had been better. Pros: -One of the most difficult games this generation.

The fun of The Sims 3 on your 360, if you can stomach the glitches. I'm going to admit that I haven't had a ton of face time with this game.

Good Stuff. This is a great headset. To start off its compatible with the PS3, 360, and PC. I use it with my PS3 and my PC.

Brilliant improvement- Upgraded D-pad, Impulse triggers, and ridiculously and comfortably slick. Ok, first, let me get one thing out of the way.

Fun until the pads fall off. First things first, these are definitely better than the Rock Band 1 drums, as the heads don't crack and the pedal doesn't split in two.

Not as Good as First Medal of Honor. I was extremely excited to receive this game in the mail since I loved the first Medal of Honor.

Way over hyped, but. I'll start off by saying that this game is way over hyped, with the whole "redefines all shooters" thing. It's a good game, and worth $60, but isn't THAT revolutionary.

Sad excuse of a Halo game. For fans of the older Halo games, and even the newer ones such as Halo: Reach, expecting something better or at least up to par than the previous Halo games, this game is not for you.

Expensive Thrills and Cheap Tricks. "Ninja Gaiden 2" probably will not be remembered very fondly.

A surprisingly fun movie tie-in. It's hard to say exactly where Enter the Matrix, avaible on X-Box as well as three other platforms, got it's main inspiration. The first impulse is to name The Matrix Reloaded, to which it ties in to, but more careful thought will trace it to Max Payne, the first 3rd-person shooter to u...
