Stranglehold (Xbox 360) Companies are always going on about the synergy between movies and video games, but all this really ever seems to mean is lots of dreadful movie tie-ins where all the money has been spent on celebrity voiceovers. Stranglehold is different though, in that it’s essentially a sequel to 1992’s classic movie Hard Boiled, made purely for video games. This time Inspector “Tequila” Yuen is unleashing his unorthodox policing methods on Russian crime bosses in both Hong Kong and Chicago. It stars the likeness of original lead Chow Yun Fat and has been developed with hands-on help from director John Woo - who it turns out does seem to know a thing or two about video games.

Of course video games have been ripping off John Woo for years, particularly his trademark slow motion shots of two-handed pistol action. As a result this initially seems dangerously similar to Max Payne et al., but the graphical power of the next generation consoles and PC ensures that this is a far more dynamic and interactive affair. Not only can you make use of a bullet time effect (call “Tequila time” here) to slow down time around you but almost all of the scenery can be used too, from sliding down banisters guns firing to scooting across the room on top of a waiter’s trolley. The damage done as you go is truly impressive, with tiles shattering off the walls, chandeliers impaling bad guys as they fall and electric wires and water mains unhinging themselves everywhere. Making a mess has never been so much fun.
HARRISON DENT
Customer Review: Great game, poisoned by the storyline.
This Game is fantastic for first time players. Great visuals, a Max Payne like presence all around when you utilize some of the fantastic mouth watering special attacks.

You play as well renowned actor Chow Yun Fat, and the game is intended to be a sequel to the hit movie: “Hard Boiled”. The game achieves this to some extent, as i can see the definate similarities from film to game, however the joy ends when one focuses on the storyline.

The storyline suffers with its lack of depth, and its somewhat incoherent and frustrating jumps between places. The game on a whole is a joy to play, but the average gamer may feel asif the fun has ended a little too early.

Another thing which brings the game off its pedestal is the Frustrating difficulty level, you could find yourself dead within seconds in some areas, or you might not die at all, it all depends on how you play the game, i decided to use the special attacks less throughout the game.

The “barrage” attack can dispense bosses on even the hardest difficulty level which can be frustrating for the die hard shoot-em-up fan, because in my opinion the bosses fall short of the challenge intended. One of the special attacks i enjoyed to utilize frequently was the “Precision Aim”, where the character fires a bullet with pinpoint accuracy from a helpful zoom screen, the enemy which is struck with the bullet then reacts accordingly with where they were struck.

Overall i would recommend this game to people who are looking for action over depth, Stranglehold in its entirety is a diamond in the rough, which has been let down by badly structured storylines and a disappointing ending.
Customer Review: True Woo Style gameplay - challenging but not too difficult - shame about multiplayer though
For those of you who love John Woo films and his artistic style, this game is for you. The game character Tequila is the character from the movie Hard Boiled (played by Chow Yun Fat) - a badass cop who doesn’t mind bending the rules to put bad guys away. As in the movie Hard Boiled, the action scenes are wonderfully played out with a mix of slow motion and manic gun fights or exposions. In this game Stranglehold, this is no exception.

The feature of the game is that you can slow time down for a limited period of time allowing you to aim more precisely and kill more bad guys. You’ll find that you want to dive often where time is automatically slowed down (just like in Hard Boiled!!).
You can also run along banisers, chairs, walls etc which is great fun and I really like being able to jump off a wall, kick it and fire my guns falling backwards and also jumping onto a trolley and killing peole as your coast along (also in Hard Boiled in the Hospital). John Woo’s trademark is the used throughout the game like the use of two pistols, Woo time (slow motion) and close encouter gunfights, and sliding across tables etc. In the extra’s, you can go to a shop with John Woo as the salesman and buy extras after earning them during gameplay.

Similar to Devil May Cry for the PS2, you have Style points and combo points, so the more you kill people with style (e.g. sliding down a banister and killing guys) the more points you gain. Your points are contributed to ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ that fills up. As you progress along the game you unlock 4 specials. When the first quarter fills, you have the option of a health boost; the second precision aim (allows a zoom in to bad guys for distance shots); the third quarter allows Tequila to fill up with bullets on whatever weapon he is holding and then blast away very, very quickly without diminishing your ammo count; the final quarter filled up allows Tequila to do a special move, spinning on the spot to kill bad guys (which is really cool to watch).

As in Hard Boiled paper cranes make an appearance. You can collect these throughout the game to increase the ‘Tequila Bomb gauge’ immediately to help you get to those special moves quickly.

There is a multiplayer option but so far I don’t think I’ve come across anyone on it yet. Maybe I’ll take a look on the XBOX forums to see who’s interested in some gaming.

All in all a very enjoyable game. The movement for gameplay is easy to get used to and intuitive. The game is not too difficult to play but in places, hard enough to be a challenge. In addition, at any checkpoint, you can play on easy, casual and hard, so if you get stuck, just start the game again and continue the gameplay on an easier level.

If you always wanted to play Tequila and kick some butt, then get this game as you’ll have a blast doing the slow motion, jumping over chairs, kicking tables etc. in true Woo style.

Customer Review: Better Than The Pro
The arcade is better than the core and comes with a 256mb memory card which is enough to save games and if your not going online then this the console for you. If you do need a bit more space you can buy a memory card 64mb, 256mb or 512mb or just get a hard drive from ?50 which is 20gb or ?100 for the 120gb (in my mind to much memory). Also dont worry about the red ring of death if you keep your 360 in a well ventilated area and give it breaks when it gets hot you wont have to worry.

Top Games:

Saints Row, Command and Conquer 3, Halo 3, Fifa 08, The Simpsons Game

All in all a very good console better than the PS3 which i also have so enjoy your gaming.

Customer Review: The Cable to own if you want HD gaming
I just recently bought a 32″ HD tv and was unsure to go with this cable or the VGA one. After reading many reviews I opted for the component cable and it works perfectly. The HD quality of the 360 games is amazing. I have also heard that the other third party cables dont have the proper protection so it is most likely best to go with this official microsoft one. If you are after a cable to make the transition to HD gaming this is the one to get. Gears of War and Fight night look like stunning. Cant wait for Mass Effect and Halo 3.
Customer Review: Great cable…..
This is an excellent pick if you have a HDTV. It does what it says on the box & I was surprised between the difference from the RGB scart cable to the HD AV cable (ofcourse keeping in mind that HD graphics have a much higher resolution than standard). There is a connection for an optical out which is useful, and the HD setting control on one side of the cable. So to sum it up….don’t think twice if yo have a HD capable TV!

Customer Review: Xbox 360 with HDMI PORT!
This is now the cheapest Xbox 360 that you can buy, however it does come guaranteed with a HDMI port so you can get the best possible connection to your HD ready TV. If you was to buy a premium online then it would not be guaranteed to come with this port, so your best connection would be to use the Component setup. If you dont plan to go online then this package is ideal, as you probably wouldnt need a hard drive. You do get a memory card to save your save game files, which will probably be enough for the everyday gamer. Also a good thing with this package, is that it is fully upgradeable so if you did want to buy a hard drive, 20gb or 120gb you just attach it on as normal. Same goes with a HD DVD drive which can also be attached and again with the best possible connection at present. Loads of decent games available and coming out for the 360, which cannot be said about other consoles!!! Alternatively you could buy a blu ray player, sorry I mean a PS3…..
Customer Review: Arcade is good for me now
Well I’ve been a pretty hardcore gamer over the years and spent lots of time on Live. Just moved house and have no phone line for a while so took the plunge with an Arcade and I’m so glad I did. (Left my other Xbox360 at the family home) Though there is no harddrive the memory stick has ample space for save games as I won’t be downloading etc for a good 12 months. I have already ordered a HDMI cable ready for my Samsung LCD and I’ve had no problems pulling my saved games over to the new console…. AND ITS SO MUCH QUIETER!!! The 360 Arcade has everything I need and ?10 has got me the HDMI cable I have used before. Perfect! A brilliant purchase and such a good idea from Microsoft, not all of us can go online and don’t need that huge hardrive and expense. If and when I do need it I can buy a harddrive easily enough so I’m very happy. Definitely worth the money savings for more games, and thats what its all about :) Can’t stress enough how happy I am with the HDMI connection as standard and the lack of fan noise….. such an improvement! A++++

I bought this as an alternative to my headset, This thing is useless for the following reasons: 1) The speaker constantly buzzes. 2) You have to hold a button whenever you want to talk. 3) you cannot talk/listen at the same time, when you hold the button to talk, it cuts the speaker. 4) other people cannot understand you, all they can hear is buzzing. 5) You can just get a wired/wireless headset. 6) It drains battery very quickly DO NOT BUY!

Im not sure about this game. The graphics are awesome but you oversteer at every corner and the only difference between the cars is their top speed. I think this game is good for first time players in all car games. I wouldnt reccomend it to experienced gamers. It isnt anything special.
Customer Review: Top Gear!!
I was a huge fan of Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast, so when I found out that PGR3 was in the pipeline I was excited, VERY excited! MSR was unique in the way you were awarded for how you drove, not how fast you drove. PGR3 is everything MSR was and so much more. Everything about this game oozes class. Graphically it’s gorgeous! everything from the hands on Big Bens clock face to the gravel on Las Vegas strip is beautiful but it’s the gameplay where this game excels. You are actually awarded for how you drive fast, not how fast you drive, and thats what makes this game so brilliantly unique. Drifting your Ferrari around a 90 degree bend and leaving the pack in your own tyre smoke, breathtaking!

Customer Review: Quick and Easy
Straight out of the box and playing within minutes. The only reason I got an Xbox was to play Halo 3 with pals and online. I paid the extra ?20 quid or so for the halo edition becuase it stands out and is different and is a newer version and less likly to over heat or have problems. (not sure if this is correct but what I have heard).

You are only getting half of the game if you do not use Xbox Live!

Enjoy! I know I am……

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox 360)

January 18, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: What no Achievement Points
I initially downloaded Tiger Woods 07 on XBOX Live and really enjoyed the demo. Unfortunately I couldn’t find this version in Malaysia, however I did manage to locate the 06 version and decided to buy. The big difference, in fact the only difference, that I noticed between the two versions is the graphics. Whilst the graphics on 06 are very good - on 07 they are simply stunning with a huge improvement in face detail.

The game itself - I have really enjoyed playing. I notice that there have been complaints about the Power boost being on the left bumper button - I don’t have a general problem with this and have got used to the swing with my left thumb and bashing the bumber with my index finger of my right hand. The only issue I have is due to the button configuration if you use power boost it is virtually impossible to use the right hand joystick to draw or fade the shot. It is like some bizzarre form of finger twister!

For me the two drawbacks have been that I have yet to find anyone playing online (I have had the game a month). I do not know if this is because everyone has upgraded to the newer versions or there is a problem with the EA server. The other drawback is that despite having played this game for going on 30 hours I have not achieved any Achievement Points - I have completed most of the challenges - I have completed a round 4 under par. I have 8 holes in One, over 100 birdies - this is frustrating as it appears the level set to get Achievements has been set ridicuously high.

Despite all the above comments - I do enjoy the game - and I suppose if you are looking for a golf experience i.e difficult, frustrating and requiring lots and lots of practice - this is the game for you.

Customer Review: Decent golf game in HD
Not much more needs to be said about the drawbacks of this version - fewer courses than the xbox version, fewer game modes.

I’d like to say that the game is still a decent way to spend a few hours. The graphics look way better than the previous generation, there are regular tournaments on Xbox Live, and it has all the modes I would realistically expect from a golf game.

The one gripe is the use of the Left Bumper for the power shot and spin button - this requires some finger acrobatics for a right handed person and can frustratingly interfere with the swing.

All in all, worth a play, especially at the bargain prices this is now available at. For a full price game, go for the 07 version, which has more features and better controls and targetting.

WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 (Xbox 360) Customer Review: The “King” of all wrestling games is here!
What a great wrestling game! Now I’m not saying its a perfect game…. it certainly has one or two stupid bugs but this game has so much to offer. Whether or not you are a wrestling fan this game has a lot to make it attractive for several weeks off hard playing.

Firstly the roster of stars is great and it is a nice touch that you can “unlock” legendary stars such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock etc. Also you can create your own superstar and this is fantastic, everything from height, weight, skin tone, tattoos and much more can go into making you superstar with of course their own special set of wrestling moves. With fight experience your superstar improves and will eventually challenge for a title match!

The fights themselves are very varied with at least 12 - 16 match types, wrestlers having different styles, strenghts and weaknesses. The moves will take some time to master but then this makes the game more enjoyable and challenging.

The season mode is fun if limited and is a good way to get involved in the “story side” of wrestling. It is also a greta way of improving your wrestling skills. Although the story is pretty simple it is still entertaining.

If you like wrestling then this game will knock you down and pin you for a three count!
Customer Review: Very good, but not perfect
This games is actually good once you get into it.

I want to talk about the cons first because I consider them quite major.

This game loads like a Playstation game (long), it can get annoying.

More importantly though, when this game was developed, I think they forgot people might play it, who have never actually played a “Smackdown vs Raw” game before, especially since this is the first one for an Xbox branded console. So what I really found frustrating is that this game more than any other previous WWE game, was the lack of a practice and tutorial mode.

A tutorial mode such as the one featured in the “WWE Day or Reckoning” games on the GameCube would have been perfect.

Even the instruction book is mostly catered to those who have played a previous version.

There is so much to learn, to the point where after playing one and a half way through the season mode, I am still discovering new controls, moves and tactics.

While I like deciding upon my own in ring tactics, I don’t appreciate having to learn so many controls without help.

If you’re a casual gamer like me, this will frustrate. I don’t think I can really put into words how much a tutorial mode was needed in this.

Other than this, the problems are a bit minor. Such as: there could be more wrestlers and for some reason you can’t use WWE Legends (unlocked wrestlers, such as Bret Hart) in season mode.

On the plus side some of the modes are really good, the graphics are great and it flows quite well, but leads to button bashing when your being attacked or your on the ground trying to recover.

Steel Cage matches are as frustrating as in every wrestling game.

Money in the bank matches (6 man ladder match) while initially quite good, turns into a real struggle and can take 30min or more for someone to win.

Royal Rumble isn’t that fun, its just a survival/struggle match.

And my God the referee is always in the way, can’t he stand back a bit.

These are just a few matches though.

It’s not clear how to win these matches at first (going back to my lack of tutorial or practice complaint).

I have been playing this for over a week solid play, still enjoying it for the most part, once you have learnt it though it’s worth it.

But initially its so overwhelming, having to learn the moves customizing everything from your locker room (which is cool) to options and create character mode is quite vast and can be over complicated.

It’s almost impossible to review this with out writing forever. I haven’t even touched the online mode or create a belt mode for that reason and I only scraped the surface in the “create a character” mode.

So is it worth it? Yes it is, right now it’s the best wresting game out there. But don’t expect an easy play, only if you are willing to give it time.

For all you who know what im talking about, is it better than the legendary N64 No Mercy in terms of gameplay? erm it comes very close, but it isn’t quite as satisfying, and my God did I play that to death. This isn’t quite as balanced and doesn’t flow quite as well. It’s still more about winning than actually taking your time in ring.

The presentation is flawless and watching the entrance to Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan (old school before he made himself look silly) makes you feel nostalgic about WWF in the old days when we were kids.

Customer Review: Perfection
Brilliant, am using to play gears of war on my pc. Absolutely no lag. If you already own a xbox 360 controller look no further. Just a note; it is only designed to work with games for windows games.
Customer Review: Great item
I have had my xbox 360 for a while now and have 2 wireless controllers. I used to have 1 wired which I used on my PC but traded that in for a wireless one. I really missed the 360 controller on my PC which is why I bought this item. It is really worth the money. Of course it would have been nice to be able to use my built in bluetooth if they were bluetooth, but that has nothing to do with this product really. It was really easy to set up and I am really pleased playing all my emulators and pc games with it. The downside to this product is that when I connect my controllers, they are disconnected from my 360, so I need to re-sync them to both PC and 360 whenever I switch between the 2. Also, I haven’t found a way to switch the controller off when using on the PC.

Wireless Headset (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Pretty good
It really is amazing how much more comfortable this is. I was chatting with a mate for half an hour and when I took the wired headset off my left ear was aching all day. Clip this on and it’s great! You don’t have to take it off to go to the kitchen or anywhere else and it’s cool letting a friend talk while you play without fumbling and having to set right beside them. You remember when you first got a wireless controller and whenever anyone walked in front you would move it to stop it snagging when you didn’t need to? It feels just like that.
Unfortunately my friend trod on mine in a huge hiking boot, but it does mean I can get the Halo 3 one!
Customer Review: Better than the normal headset!
I was wary about buying this headset seeing you get a free one with the xbox and I also had bought the camera which gives you another wired headset. But I bought it on recommendation from a friend. It’s very clear and crisp and the audio is so much better than the wired headset. I’ve toggled between using the two and the difference really is notable. And you can go quite far giving you the freedom to move about. And it’s more comfortable. The only annoying thing, as with all wireless equipment is the recharging but it the batteries do last quite a while. Definately worth buying.

Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
The Halo games were always the best reason to by an Xbox and now the final part in the initial trilogy of ground breaking first person shooters is set to raise the bar for all Xbox 360 games. Well known for their secrecy, Bungie have officially revealed little about Halo 3, but what is known is that the new game features an Earth completely overtaken and controlled by the Covenant, as they seek a secret hidden Forerunner weapon.

Although little is known about the single player mode, more has been seen of the multiplayer, with various beta testing schemes going on in both secret and in public. A number of new weapons and vehicles have already been revealed including a new assault rifle, the new Spartan laser anti-vehicle weapon and a new hand held shield device for Master Chief that can create a far more effective protective shield around you. New vehicles include the ATV-like Mongoose, a new variant of the Warthog and the new, more powerful, Brute Ghost.

Of course the most important new feature that every new fan is interested in is the graphics, and they are looking predictably fantastic. With lots of technobabble, new features like high dynamic range lightning and pre-computed radiance transfer means the game will not only play great but looks amazing too.

Customer Review: A must buy
Halo 3 is the third game set in the world of Halo, and it was one of if not the most hyped games ever. It was deliberately hyped and Microsoft knew it would be their money maker, and so gave every single Live member, wheteher GOLD or SILVER membership an entire weekend to play Halo and any other game online for free. All I can say is that Halo, wehile being almost thwe same as Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, is amazing and bering the same is brilliant as it is what people fin so enjoyable and fun to play including myself. Multiplayer is the best part as it is so much fun to pllay with friends and finally you can play with friends in ranked matches.
Customer Review: good stuff
Ive had this game for a while now but have avoided playing it in favour of fifa and fight night. Ive got myself hooked up to xbox live at last and i thought id give the old slayer matches a go online. After getting my ass handed to me on several occasions by all and sundry, i decided to give the campaign mode a whirl to hopefully improve. Ive seen many varied reviews, but ive got to say I really like the game. It looks great, its not massively difficult, there are very regular checkpoints (which i really like) and its ideal for xbox live like most first person shooters. Obviously this game isnt gonna please everybody, but its been a long time since ive played a first person shooter that I like and enjoy, so I have to recommend this game strongly to any 360 owners who have not yet got it.

Customer Review: Not an arcade game
People who bought this expecting an ace combat alternative are going to be disappointed, because in this game you won’t be firing missiles ten at a time shooting hundreds of targets, this is more of a simulation type game where if your in the wrong place at the wrong time your going to get shot down alot. I agree with others that the planes could be less sluggish and the enemy should enter the battle field naturally rather than popping into existence unexpectedly, But the cockpits and planes are very nicely done, and evading an attack or making a carrier landing is more satisfying for it’s increased difficulty, if you want a shooter get ace combat6 but if you want some realism get this.
Customer Review: Its not easy!
This game is class, once u set it on hard (cuz easy’s ridiculus) and figure out how to dodge a missile (not luck based, there are moves that work 100% of the time) and ignore the story line (its boardering non existant). its a simulation of military fighters n that, the realism is top notch and if u can find a multiplayer game with ppl in it, ppl who are better than the NPC opponents, ur in for a great time. Its a love it/hate it game that most people with the patience to learn to ‘fly’ love, the ppl bad mouthing it probably didnt give it more than a week. get it so i can shoot u down >D !

Customer Review: Never was going to live up to the hype
very dissapointing end to the trilogy. it was never going to live up to the hype but the sheer level of dissapointment is a big loss. now don’t get me wrong it is a good fun game, but it is a lot worse than it could have been. the campaign is way too short. on legendary mode me and a mate did it in 5 hours! that is not good enough. the graphics are rather dissapointing and the online multiplayer is to. it is good fun online but with only 3 or 4 good maps you are left with little to do in terms of replay value. i don’t really reccoment this game unless you are a huge halo fan in which case you would already own the game.

if you want to buy a FPS but don’t have Halo3 get COD4 instead, it has much better graphics, a wider range of weaponary, more reallistic and satisfying kills and an exellent campaign.

GET COD4!

Customer Review: Above expectations
A nice way to end the halo trilogy cut scenes aren’t over used and its an incredible game. If you complete it on legendary and see the extended ending after the credits then you should feel satisfied. Complete it at least twice to take in the game in more detail. A must have game for anyones gaming collection.

Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360)

January 18, 2008 | By Doug In Xbox360 | Comments(0)


Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Hapless antihero Jack Carver starts on his first ever Xbox 360 adventure, featuring advanced graphics and enemy artificial intelligence that rival even the original PC version.

The lowdown:
More than any other first person shooter the Far Cry games have been a perverse combination of beautiful graphics (in this case a gorgeous tropical island) and uncompromising violence. This new Xbox 360 version includes a revamped version of the highly rated Xbox game, as well as an all-new expansion named Evolution. You start Evolution with all the bestial powers you gained in Instincts, including one hit kills and night vision, and as you’d expect the graphics have been given a serious overhaul - not just in terms of resolution but also the complexity and detail of everything in the game from enemy soldiers to the beautifully rolling sea.

Most exciting moment:
Taking out bad guys from your jet ski as you use it to jump ashore, run into the jungle, and quickly set-up a booby trap to stop pursuing bad guys.

Since you ask:
The new single player campaign Evolution will also be made available for the Xbox as a budget priced stand alone expansion.

The bottom line:
The best looking console Far Cry yet, with almost two games in one.- Harrison Dent

Customer Review: In parts can be the most fun xbox game I’ve played
Now, I had the Original Far Cry for the PC and that game was fantastic. Great gameplay, gorgeous environments and a large sense of freedom. First Person Shooters had always been about dark and gloomy factory corridors and other boring environments. It gave you fun gameplay in an environment that you’d naturally want to explore and play in regardless.

Skip to Far Cry Instincts: Predator. A port from the Original xbox game, as it failed to meet the backwards compatibility list. Taking the Far Cry core mechanics and adding a bunch of feral powers such as Extreme running, tracking by smell and a lethal claw attack. These additions can be huge amounts of fun both on/offline. The game includes the original Instincts storyline and adds a second story mode called evolution. This extends the life of the game and gives you quite a lot for your money.

The Online mode is pretty fun. Predator mode, where one person is a feral beast with all the powers against a group of helpless mercenaries. Included with depth map editor that can be a lot of fun to use online, aswell as the actual building.

To sum it up..

I loved the original Far Cry. This game doesn’t quite feel like the original, it loses something in the process. BUT it adds so much more and can be great fun just like the original. If you had the original xbox game, there isn’t enough here to have paid the full release price, but for a cheaper price is worth checking out. Are you a fan of FPS games? If so you owe it to yourself to play this game. It’s been a highly underrated xbox 360 title and I would advise anyone to make their own decision about it, rather than accepting some of the dire reviews.

Customer Review: Best to avoid
Personnel opinion but this is a godawfull game, the AI is incredibly and stupid and the way the game plays is so ugly and repetitive. It would seem that the only thing going for it is the graphics which are very pretty but thats about it. Also playing the through the single player, the AI has the very annoying ability to always know exactly where you are, even hiding behind buildings and plantation

Would honestly save the money and buy dead rising or better yet splintercell (better graphics and more fun than this)

Sorry but a big thumbs down for this

Customer Review: The best accessory for any 360 owner
This is absolute essential if you bought a premium pack or a wireless controller. Your 360 control pad will last 30 hours on fresh AA batteries but, what you don’t want, is to be in the middle of a battle on your favourite game only for a “Please reconnect controller” message to pop up. This simple cable completely removes the need to buy batteries ever again. Your on screen battery indicator (Guide blade) will tell you when your pad is running low then you simply plug one end of the cable into an available USB port on your console and the other in the top of the controller to recharge your battery whilst playing! Simply brilliant!

Prey (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Although it was announced more than a decade ago this demonstrates that the best things really do come to those that wait, with the most original and technically advanced first person shoot `em-up in years.

The lowdown:
Although it was conceived at a time when 3D graphics cards were still optional the basic idea behind the Prey portal technology is still the same as it ever was, allowing you to instantly step from one world to another in the game. You can even create the portals yourself as you battle grotesque enemy bosses in one area and jump back to another to recover. The game casts you as a Cherokee Indian with a number of magical powers such as spirit walking that let you explore the game world as a spirit, and deathwalk which replaces the normal need for intrusive quick saves with an innovative mini-game set between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Most exciting moment:
Not only is the portal technology amazing but the game’s use of gravity is equally inspired with gravity escalators that run up and across ceilings and some excellent zero gravity sections where you pilot spaceship pods and explore a tiny rotating planetoid.

Since you ask:
Originally intended only for the PC, the Xbox 360 version is being developed by British team Venom Games, who previously created Rocky Legends for Ubisoft, and features an 8 player multiplayer mode.

The bottom line:
Looks like being one of the top predators in the shoot `em-up world.

Customer Review: You get what you pay for.
So Ive played about half of the game and its far too dull to keep me engrossed. Theres nothing spectacular about this game I can think of that makes me want to play it anymore, if it wouldn’t cost me more too return it than the money I’d get back I would no longer own the title.
Customer Review: well worth the money
Before buying the game it might be a good idea to play the demo which is available at the XBox Live marketplace. Looks like many elements of the game are borrowed from science fiction movies dating back as far as ‘Dark Star’ (the bouncing beach ball in the movie). I think the story is nice and there is some surprising little puzzles in the game. If you like Scifi and saving the world from time to time then you should consider buying this game, I think it’s worth the money.

Customer Review: An Essential Piece of 360 Kit
If you have wireless controllers for your Xbox 360, this is a must buy. The kit comprises a charger, mains cable and one rechargeable battery pack.

The charger can take two battery packs at any one time and will charge both in around four hours, or a single battery in about two hours. The battery pack lasts ages in your controller so charges shouldn’t be too frequent. There are status lights on the front indicating if the batteries are still charging or have finished.

There is also a separate Play & Charge Kit for the 360, which plugs your controller into the console’s USB port to charge the battery. All well and good, but it doesn’t charge as quickly and the cable defeats the object of having a wireless pad. For these reasons, the Quick Charge Kit is a better bet.

Extra battery packs cost about ?9-10 and are worth the investment. The whole set-up will pay for itself within a matter of weeks compared to the equivalent cost in AA alkaline batteries, so get one today!

Customer Review: Good but be careful!
I got this peice of kit for xmas and it works brilliantly. It charges full in about 1 hour and lasts for 25 hours of play which is ruddy good. Here comes the but, the battery pack has small metal strips to connect it to the charger and if you charge alot the metal strips where away and you cant charge anymore (like mine). Im going to try the play and charge kit as i dont have to take out the battery therefore wearing away the strips.
