Great set of tools but didn't seem to be essential-Proved more useful with time. I want to update this review based upon additional use. Biggest criticism was that I didn't find much use for most of the tools while disassembling the 360S model. I picked up a 360E and wanted to make sure it was clean, dust free and co...

LOVE Kinection! (Xbox Kinect. Just received my Xbox 360 "KINECT SENSOR WITH KINECT ADVENTURES" and I'm addicted already!!

Well worth the money. This product works just fine. I read lots of reviews before buying the Mad Catz Throat Comm, so I will try to address many of the issues that people had with the comm. First of all, a few people said that it didn't hear them at all. I don't see how that's possible, considering that the comm seem...

Nothing but an expansion pack. I rented this game a couple of days ago and the title says it all; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is nothing but an expansion pack. I believe it would have made more sense (to the consumer anyway) to have all the songs as DLC for Guitar Hero III rather than charging full price for virtually a ha...

If I only knew. Being a long time Xbox 360 owner (until about 6 months ago) it was difficult to adjust to the smaller size PS3 controller and the analog sticks placement, so it was imperative I found a controller that not only worked well at a decent price BUT was designed to look and feel like a 360 controller.

Great, if overlooked Xbox 360 Mech sim. To be completely honest, I Purchased this game because I loved the Mech Warrior games. Seeing as this was the closest thing to those games on the 360, I decided to give it a shot. I personally enjoyed this game quite a bit, though it has a pretty steep difficulty curve. If you...

A fitting homage to director Tony Scott. Dark, gritty, and incredibly violent, "Max Payne 3" was clearly inspired by the works of the late, great Tony Scott.

War Is Hell, but Call of Duty is Heaven. I'm not sure where to begin.

Best used as a modification for your old drum kit. Overall, the quality of this product is top notch. I'll start with the bad and work into the good.

Excellent Action Game. I am referring to the PC version in this review, where a mouse and keyboard are used for controlling the game.

2 Words to Sum Up This Game. System Exclusives. As an avid fan of the first game, I was really hoping they would drop this ridiculous idea in the sequel.

The Halo 5 of Gears. Be wary, some spoilers below so read on at your own discretion. The campaign is a pretty big disappoint to say the least.

343 Industries have taken the Halo franchise over and proven that they can handle the challenge. It's been 5 years since we last saw Master Chief as he and Cortana were left in a empty ship awaiting a rescue team. Within that period two Halo games were released before Bungie left the series in the hands of a new studio...

Pandora tomorrow addresses the majority of the gripes about...

If you thought 4 was great and wanted more, don't go back to 3 *spoilers. I made the above mistake. Mea culpa. I liked the open sandbox world of 4 and the freedom to do what you wanted, up to and including using the weapons you purchased. In the case of 3 though, you work your ways towards getting the better weapons...
