Warning: Avoid. Avoid this controller like a virus! I gave it a shot and learned about the stuck left trigger" issue AFTER I purchased it. My search for a solution brought me here. I seriously cannot for the life of me understand how companies can release such a defective product. Does the controller work good when it ...

about as "intelligent" as a 3-year-old with a cellphone. I bought this product at my local video games store because they were out of the standard Xbox 360 Universal Remote. In the box it looked great, boasting programmable keys and all but when I got it home and opened it I found that only the LOWER HALF is programmab...

Stinks. I never write reviews but had to make an exception in this case. The team who created this episode (of the best game ever) has completely lost their way. And that's really too bad. I didn't finish the game. Instead, i boxed it up and returned it to the store so as to not contribute to their bottom line and vote...

Need For Speed meets Mario Kart. After a run of declining sales and increasingly poor reviews, the Need for Speed series shifted developers in 2010 from the overworked team at BlackBox to Criterion, developers of the Burnout series of action-oriented arcade racers. I've personally never played any of the Burnout games...

Almost perfect. Pro - Intense and diverse Gameplay all sorts of crazy combos where you are fighting mid air or throwing a boss 3 times your size. Always getting new powers/upgrades.

Gears of War 2 Review. I'll start by saying that I'm writing this review in lieu of hurling my controller through the wall- so I guess the first comment is that the later stages of Gears of War 2 can get a bit rough. I guess my first clue should have been when I accidentally discovered that you can go "down but not ou...

Frustrating gameplay that kept me coming back for more. I have never been as frustrated with a game as I was playing Watch Dogs. The controls often do not respond as they should, the gameplay is entirely too difficult at times, and the plot line often went way over my head. With all of that being said, I still found ...

Brutal Legend is a Brutaly good Game. Well I will start off by saying that this is my first review of a product on Amazon so it might not be up to par. Now I will get onto my review.

A Ton Of Fun. As someone who takes their game purchases rather seriously, I did quite a bit of homework before I purchased this game.

Kodak Moments. The first Splinter Cell created some of videogames' most memorable moments. Pandora Tomorrow creates them in spades. Among them: -- More spotlight-avoidance madness.

Its time has come and gone. The Gamester Pro Racer Wheel is an old style wheel controller that bases your turns on how one wheel half moves in relationship to the other half.

Rent First. Dark Sector is a horror / combat game featuring dark, moody scenery, people being tortured, and a hero who wields a glaive - the spinning, razor-sharped boomerang a la Krull.

Slam the controller to the floor frustrating. This game gets incredibly frustrating at times. However, it's also too addictive to quit. The challenges are, for the most part, fairly short, from 1 to 5 minutes, though there are some longer ones at the higher levels, and it's easy enough to restart after screwing up. ...

tedious parkour and button-mashing; for Tron fans only. There's no way I would have continued playing this game if I wasn't a Tron fan.
