Counter-intuitive, inconvenient, & wastes an absurd amount of your life. There are a lot of things done right with this game. However, there are a LOT of little annoying things that just make me so frustrated I have to quit playing. It'll be easier if I just list the pros & cons. Pros: Graphics are great. Multiplayer f...

An immersive experience (spoilers. Lost Odyssey was everything I had heard it would be. More than just the average RPG, Lost Odyssey gives you a intricate storyline, dazzling cinematics and above average voice acting. At times the struggles and heartaches that the characters were experiencing gave me goose bumps and ...

Inviting, great atmosphere,above average gameplay 8/10. I've always wanted to play this game ever since i saw in on xbox live back in 07' or so.

Don`t Try This At Home. Burnout Revenge for XBOX 360 is nothing much more than a prettier remake version of the same game for PS2 and XBOX,yet its still a really entertaining car destruction game.

More Gears Of War. Aside from the graphics, the dodge-ball game mode, and story; there are no new gameplay mechanic that makes this game stand out from the rest of the series Visuals are top notch, and best of the series especially with the weather effects.

Fun but the worst in the series. The game is still fun but there is no challenge at all.

It's Only Business. First off, this review is for the XB Godfather Collector's Edition which I own. Second, for many hard-core GTA fans, they might see this as a rip-off. It's not.

Excellent for the price. This is my first pair of turtle beaches, but not my first pair of expensive headphones. While testing, I listened to game play and music. I was impressed.

Doom with a View. What's good about it? This is simple, old school gaming where you deal out death to the forces of hell with various weapons and even a chainsaw.

No Sports Resort, But Closest I've Found. Lightning only strikes once, and where it comes to video games, that lightning was Wii Sports Resort.

Not a single step forward from earlier versions. I can't say enough bad about this game. My son and I played 2K10 quite a lot. Head to head and taking players through the minors.

A Five Star game BUT. It can be honestly said that GunValkyrie is visually stunning. It's anime style graphics will please all.

Not as good as the PC version. Well, I'm not going to say all of the same stuff as the other reviewers, most of which I agreed with. I did want to add a few comments, tho.

More than EATS the eye. Great potential that goes to the dump. Out of the big titles that were coming out this summer, I think I was most excited for this to come.

Better than the S Model IMO. The reason I say it's better than the S Model is that I've had 3 of the new Slim. The first one refused to read many UHD discs and the fan made a loud clicking sound.

Wow. My god this game was crazy. I got it the Monday after it came out, and I haven't stopped playing it since.

Excellent action game. Dead Space was a very good 3rd-person action title. The graphics and controls were top-notch and very slick and really drew you into the experience.

A glitchy Masterpiece. Every single time I played this game, I experienced some sort of game halting glitch, whether it be the game freezing, an endless loading screen, or falling through the ground.

Arguably the best co-op game to date. Here's why. Overall, if you love co-op games, you'll enjoy this. If you like co-op military shooters, this is a must have in your collection.

The complete package. As technology advances, the expectations for video games has risen to outlandish heights.

A perfect game for 6 to 8 year olds. And Joe Cool. This game is perfect for the 6 to 8 year-old range.

Likely the best since DMC 1 in my opinion. I own EVERY DMC game. I do not know whether or not I should feel embarrassed about that. Yes I have both versions of DMC 3 (Standard and special edition) as well as DMC 2 and DMC 1. A lot of my friends love this series. Well there is good reason to. "Dante" was introduced as ...

Beautifully Chaotic. I've never played any of the Splinter Cell series, but as I await for the release of Splinter Cell: Double Agent, I wanted to prep myself for it. Fortunately, with Xbox 360 backward compatibility, I bought Chaos Theory. This is, by far, one of the most mind-blowing and suspenseful game I've ever pl...

Come on people, stop with the low ratings. OK, I have to vent first, everyone giving these things a 1 or 2 star rating because of the mic is out of their minds! It isn't Polk's fault that Microsoft messed up, Polk did their job and WAS ready to launch WITH the Xbox One in November but Microsoft messed up AGAIN and did...

Stoked is like the fat guy at the limbo, just barely makes it under the bar then scratches his belly on the stick and looses. I've been playing Stoked for a few weeks now and ...

Met my expectations. Well I just completed Crysis 2 on Supersoldier and I didn't experience any of the problems that I've seen people report about not getting the achievements points for completing the campaign on Supersoldier. BUT I did have a problem where after beating the mission "Power Out" my whole screen went bl...

X-cellent. Best X-men game ever. All your favorites are here and then some. This is a brilliant action/RPG that plays like Sudeki if Sudeki was made up of hour-long battles and featured 15 playable characters that you can switch in and out of the action as the situation dictates. You get to assemble teams of four x-...

Bigger and Badder then Before. With each new Tony Hawk release comes higher expectations. Tony Hawk 3 met and exceeded those expectations. More eye-boggling special tricks were added as well as the essential Revert trick, which, like the all powerful Manuel, allows players to link tricks together and create HUGE comboe...

Why So Serious. When I play a GTA game I expect action, over the top violence, and glorious satire. What I don't look for is a morality play. GTA IV, though it carries over many of the elements from prior iterations, has finally acquired one thing it never needed: a conscience. Now I'm not sure if this "evolution" came...
