Table Tennis (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
A next generation game of Ping Pong doesn’t necessarily sound like the best use of your Xbox 360’s abilities - no matter how good the graphics are. Just a few quick plays though will turn apathy into addiction.
The lowdown:
You might come for the budget price but you’ll stay for the gameplay in what must be the most engrossing new sports game in years. Although the realism is probably going to be beside the point for most people this looks and plays exactly like the real thing. That means the controls basically work like a normal tennis sim, with four basic shot types on the face buttons and some easy to apply aftertouch available on the left stick. You can mix and match shots by holding down multiple buttons and there’s a handy warning rumble when you starting getting your returns too near the edge of the table. Although the presentation is a little dry, especially for a Rockstar game, sports games don’t get much more fun than this.
Most exciting moment:
Although it’s a shame there’s no doubles matches the game is still at its best online in multiplayer mode. If you don’t have Xbox Live though you’ll find the computer players are very realistic, with their own quirks and specialities that make them seem far more like real people.
Since you ask:
The game features seven extra playable characters to unlock by beating the single player tournaments. The nationalities of these players are Brazilian, Irish, German, South Korean, Japanese, English and Egyptian.
The bottom line:
It may sound an odd idea but this could be the most addictive game yet for the 360.

Customer Review: Quick Overview
I recently purchased this game due to the fact it looked good and was incredibly cheap. the game itself is easy to get to grips with, you can understand the basics after only about ten minutes of play, once you have those it is pure experimentational play which improves your game. i am a table tennis fan, however, even my sister loves the game too ( for both sexes: thumbs up). you can unlock new arenas, characters and clothes ( oooh the joy) but overall this is such an amazing game to play. the graphics are top notch and so is the RAGE engine’s capabilities. it looks amazingly realistic and caters for hours of fun. A must buy for anyone looking to have a little fun on their own or with their pals. Great Game!!

Customer Review: Tell me about XNA not Agile Project Management Methods
Pointless book where the author has used it as a soapbox to promote completely unrelated subjects like Agile project management. The text is error prone and hard to follow. Wait for a better book.
Customer Review: Hard to read - keep Google and Wikipedia handy
It’s obvious that the author knows what he’s doing. The games that he’s produced and are described in this book are amazing. There was a real buzz around XNA Racer on the community forums at the start of the year. However, I buy a book to read offline with occasional keyboard time and as such, I find this book difficult to recommend. There is too little exposition around the key concepts and the book lurches from over-explaining the basics to assuming black belt matrix algebra knowledge. A few examples: * This book is about 3D games programming but has way too few explanatory diagrams. * The author mentions point sprites as an alternative to billboards. OK, so what’s a point sprite? What are the pros and cons of point sprites vs billboards? This is a minor example but a good editor would surely have demanded an explanatory paragraph or two. * Did the author think the book would be published in colour? The text often refers to coloured elements in black and white diagrams. * The sample code contains too much of the author’s own engine library code, making it difficult to incorporate into your own efforts. * If it’s a bad idea (and it is) to use foreach in game loops, NEVER use foreach in code samples. Probably the most frustrating thing about the book is the prose style that is at times unreadable and occasionally nonsensical. The book also has an extraordinarily high number of mistakes in the text - I’m guessing this was rushed to market to beat the inevitable XNA book rush. A very talented developer let down by his publisher (and apparent lack of proofreading effort). When does Petzold’s XNA book come out?!

Play together today with Xbox 360™ Arcade, including the Xbox 360 console, wireless controller, and memory unit for game saves. Get ready for fun right out of the box with five Xbox LIVE? Arcade games, including PAC-MAN and UNO?.
Choose from hundreds of games like LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Viva Pi?ata: Party Animals, and Scene It?? Light, Camera, Action and play together with family and friends. Watch your favorite DVDs and play CDs through your Xbox 360. Restrict kids’ access to teen-rated and mature-rated game and DVD content with Family Settings.
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.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
The world’s most popular football sim returns with numerous tweaks and additions to make it even more realistic in both gameplay and graphics. If England don’t win the World Cup you can always take solace in the latest Pro Evo.
The lowdown:
This latest sequel sees one of the biggest overhauls in the game’s history with the new improvements to the already impressive animation directly affecting the way you play. Dribbling with the ball is now easier but the quality of your passing and shooting now depends on the position of a player’s body in terms of both accuracy and power. Make a shot straight after a sharp turn, for example, and your chances of hitting the target are slim. Opponent and team artificial intelligence has also been greatly increased, to the point where every man on the pitch is thinking independently. Apart from the animation, the graphics in general have also been upgraded with much better player likenesses.
Most exciting moment:
Thanks to the new changes Pro Evo 6 plays a much more attacking game than previously, with counter attacks after a fluffed shot on goal made much easier than previously.
Since you ask:
Although the game doesn’t have the official FIFA World Cup license it does simulate an unofficial international tournament, including both qualifying rounds and the finals.
The bottom line:
The best just keeps getting better with the most beautiful virtual game ever.

Customer Review: Addictive, but bad for you
OK the first thing is, as a lot of people have already pointed out, that there’s is loads missing from other versions of this game, if you’ve got a PS2, buy that version and add another star. Second thing, as each passing year the difference between the outgoing pro and new one becomes more difficult to spot. Pro 6’s graphics are slightly sharper, but the game seems to run at a slower pace. Third thing, the game AI. Pro ecourages you as a player to keep it a short passing game as much as possible, I’m sure this is the reason it is so difficult to make long passes and overhead through balls, so you adjust your tactics accordingly. But occasionally a dog kickingly frustrating bit of rubbish AI pop up out of nowhere. Defenders run away from attackers when you take control of them. The game constantly switches team members when you’re trying to defend. Attackers inexpicaply slow down when trying to get to long balls. These don’t happen too often, but when they do … Finally online, it’s not bad, creating a custom match can take forever when trying to find someone to play, but the patches that have been release over the last year seem to have sorted that one out. Should you buy it ? If you’ve got pro 5 on ps2, no keep your money. If you’ve got a 360, it’s better than FIFA (If I want proper names and kits I’ll buy a sticker album), so I’d say possibly, wait and see what the reviews on pro 2008 are like.
Customer Review: Good but doesn’t live to expectations
pro evo 6 is overall pretty good for the xbox 360 however there are many places in the game where it is basically a stripped down version of the PS2 version just with better graphics. For example the edit mode is taken out nearly all together and some Master League features are taken out. However in the 360 version the physics, player movement, AI and graphics are much better and in HD.

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!

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.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Xbox 360) In a nutshell:
The surprise hit of 2005 is back and this time it’s moved on from the prequels and onto “proper” Star Wars. It may sound like one of the worst excesses of marketing hell but this is good enough to rejuvenate your love for both video games and Star Wars (and Lego)!
The lowdown:
As ridiculous as the idea sounds this is one of the few games that really can be played by all ages, from tots to grandparents - the game even adjusts its difficultly level on the fly depending how well you’re doing. The graphics are absolutely hilarious as the game pokes gentle fun at all the films and characters and uses the Lego motif so you can build new structures and objects as you go. With more playable characters than ever each now has their own special move, such as Chewbacca’s ability to pull the arms off Stormtroopers, and you can get in and out of vehicles whenever you want in some levels.
Most exciting moment:
The game features a large number of vehicles to drive, including landspeeders and AT-STs. You can also ride a Dewback which excretes an ominous looking brown Lego stud if you press a button…
Since you ask:
The all important two player co-op mode from the first game is still in the sequel, plus you can now design your own characters out of component Lego pieces. Darth Greedo, anyone?
The bottom line:
The Force is strong with this one.

Customer Review: Superb fun
As a boy growing up in the 80’s star wars was a huge part of my life and this was the decade when the toys associated with the film really took off. Sadly, star wars toys made of Lego were 20 years away and now, as a 30 year old, trying to persuade my wife that buying Lego is a good idea is just not happening. Thankfully the genius’s at Lego and Lucas arts have come up with this cracker of a game which I can just about get away with buying. The premise is simple in that it follows the last three films (or first 3 depending on your age!!) and you are taken through virtually every major set piece, in each film, playing as various Lego/star wars characters. The learning curve is perfect for both kids and adults alike. The cut scenes in between each level are hilarious. My first play of the game was with the “help” of an 8 and a 6 year old and we all spent most of the time in hysterics. The animation is superb and the controls are very cleverly done. Just push gently on the left stick and watching the characters “creeping” is very funny. This is a game which provides excellent family entertainment and really fits the category of “suitable for all ages”. If you are a fan of the first Lego star wars game then this comes highly recommended.
Customer Review: Fun to play…Incredibly Frustrating To Save!
I like this game a lot. It’s a laugh to play as you go through the various famous Star Wars scenes and stuff as a Lego character (the Lego Boombox that blasts out a heavy metal version of the Imperial March, making Gamorrean guards rock out is one of the best things I’ve seen!) However, I find trying to save your progress in this game EXTREMELY frustrating! For some reason when you clear a chapter and your autosave kicks in, it doesn’t save your progress properly and you end up right back at the Mos Eisley cantina when you reload your game. Not cool.
I plan to keep playing this game and figure out what’s going wrong, but that in itself is something no gamer should have to do. In short, great game, LOUSY saving system!

Customer Review: Cheaper, but noticeably worse than the official controller.
I wanted an extra controller for when playing with buddies at home. Since this only happens occasionally, I didn’t want to spend more money than necessary. For the purpose of this review I will compare with the official controller. Overall feel and design - sits well in my hands, and feels comfortable in general. I don’t like the placement of the back/start buttons though, as it feels a bit awkward reaching them. Still, there is less risk of pressing them by accident like this. Buttons - feel a bit hard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I suspect that button-mashing games will make your fingers hurt though. Sensitivy is on par with the official controller. D-pad - this actually feels more precise. I always had a wee bit of problems with the official D-pad, and especially the diagonals feel imprecise. This one’s better, and should be good for fighting games. Triggers - firmer and with more resistance than the official controller. Neither better nor worse for any practical purpose. With driving games I actually think it’s easier to maintain exactly the right level of acceleration. If you need to repeatedly press the triggers fast, they can feel a little too tough. Analog sticks - these feel flip-floppy, imprecise, and not that analog. They are too soft, and movement often becomes all-or-nothing. On shooters this can be compensated by turning overall sensitivity down, and it’s ok. But play any game which recquires precise sequences of movements (trick games, driving, FNR3) and it becomes a major pain. It is a noticeable handicap playing with this controller, which is not how I want my coop or vs games at home. Conclusions - if a good D-pad is crucial for you, to the point of not caring that much about the sticks, buy it at good value. Otherwise, wait until you can afford a better controller, or you will regret your buy like I did.
Customer Review: Do not buy!
after my friend got his 360 we put our cash 2gether to buy a cheap controller and we brought this. what a mistake, the anaolog sticks are way to sensitive and are not accuarate, the sticks feel very delayed and are a pain when playing driving games as your constantly trying to keep your car in line. The trigger were very tough too but im guessing thats because it was new. the 360 button did work and all the player lights were correct. Buy the official controller's! its worth the extra cash trust me!

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!

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!
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter: Premium Edition (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Mexico City has been overrun by terrorists and only the Ghost Recon team can restore order – through the use of extreme violence. You command not just your three team mates but a high-tech array of weapons, armoured vehicles and aircraft.
The lowdown:
Although it still plays very similarly to the last Ghost Recon game this is easily the most impressive of the series so far. The graphics, particularly on the Xbox 360, are extraordinary with a whole city sprawling out in front of you at a previously unimaginable level of detail. Unlike some squad based shooters the controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to take part in the action and order about soldiers and vehicles at the same time with the minimum of fuss. The questionable artificial intelligence of your allies is the only serious flaw, but the ability to explore the city and plan your attack from any angle usually overcomes this problem.
Most exciting moment:
Calling in a helicopter gunship as you and your men are pinned down by a dozen terrorists, snipers and tanks.
Since you ask:
The game is set in 2013 and all of the high-tech weaponry is based on equipment the U.S. expects to have in operation by then – even the Metal Gear Solid style flying recon drones.
The bottom line:
Incredible graphics and one of the best squad based shooters ever.

Customer Review: Nice
As the 360 is my first console since the megadrive(!) and having played the rainbow six games on PC with mouse etc I was wondering how on earth you could translate a complex squad tactical shooter to a gamepad with only a few buttons. I was pleasantly suprised. The controls do take getting used to, but by the end of the first misson it was all coming quite naturally. It plays brilliantly too, If you ever stop and take a look around at this city its graphically brilliant, light shimmering off the high rise skyscrapers etc. The AI is fairly intelligent, focussing fire in chokeholes, making you work your way round, taking cover and reacting nicely although i’ve yet to encounter one that uses grenades. hat impressed me most though was the non stop aspect. You complete a mission and immediately go into your black hawk and have to use the gun to clear the landing position for your next mission…you’re in enemy territory and the game makes you feel that, theres no safe place to rest up. All in all impressed, four stars though because of a few minor gripes with the cross com controls and with the sightly linear maps, but overall a damn good buy
Customer Review: What a letdown.
This was one of the games that came with my Xbox 360 and after reading reviews online I had high hopes. The graphics are alright, not as good as I was expecting though and I can’t understand why there’s a quote on the box that says “a masterclass in what the Xbox 360 can do.” The gameplay is incredibly complicated. There are so many controls you have to remember and that sucks a lot of fun out of the game. It’s not much fun in the first place. The worst thing about this game is that you can barely take any damage. OK, this is realistic but it makes the game needlessly hard. Especially when your squadmates have been hit and you’re trying to revive them with bullets flying at you. The level of damage makes it very hard to take cover and return fire as well because every time you stick your head out to fire, there’s a very high chance you’ll get hit. I’ve only played this game on the easiest setting and it’s still proving annoyingly difficult. I’m really surprised it’s got all the hype it has when only one other game I’ve ever owned has been this disappointing.

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!
Crackdown (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Crapdown? Hell no!
What can i say for this game? That it constantly surprises me at every turn? the graphics and sound are second to none? Whatever you think, these statements are true.
Though Crackdown has no paticular story, it makes up for that with intense action and non-stop thrills. The array of guns were unparalled by none. One minute you are eating a Subway sandwich in the park, and the next you are waging terrible war with bloodthirsty criminals!
To put it simply, Crackdown is simply astonishing. The freeform jumping and chasing sequences are bound to exhilerate even the most boring of people. If you are hesitating to buy this game, i order you not to, or you will never find the apparent “perfect game”
Customer Review: I like it, but it’s not quite as good as I thought it would be
As my title says, I did enjoy this game but am kinda disappointed by it. After hearing about the great reviews it got & a ex gf of mine saying it was really good I decided to buy it. So let’s move onto reviweing the different elements of the game.
Graphically, it’s a nice game with graphic novel (aka cell shaded) graphics & I like the designs for the agency pistol & assault rifle & it makes a nice change since I’m more use to Bioshock, Lost Planet, Gears Of War etc in those terms.
Gameplay wise, it is a lot like other sandbox genre games in terms of shooting but there is the ability of being able to leap great distances like The Incredible Hulk which is quite easy to get to grips with, only negative point is that being able to leap 30 feet across the city in a single bound makes simple jumps quite tricky sometimes & sometimes guns would lock onto vehicles or dead bodies which doesn’t help much.
The presentation is nice, the boxart is quite ok to look at & the manual is as another review mentions done like a hand manual which I always quite like as it makes you feel more part of the game, but this game has a big problem with involvement which I’ll get onto shortly.
Storyline, is well, about 0.01% existent. It is as simple as kill bad guys to make city safe, your agent has no story or past except that he’s there to crush gang members with guns, his foot & the odd car or so if you feel like it. So unfortunately having an instruction manual that reads like you are the agent rather than a gamer is a bit pointless in a game that doesn’t really involve you in a story.
Lifespan is short, shorter than I expected it to be. I recieved it yesterday & completed it today & I wasn’t even that good at it sometimes & spent a lot of time messing about. It didn’t help that I managed to take down one of the last generals in a space of a few minutes & killed very few guards & just knocked him over with a kick & stomped on him till he was dead like most the other ones. I would have also liked to have seen more than 3 agency weapons, I would have liked an agency sniper rifle & rocket launcher at least. Having completed it, I’ve realised how much I’ve missed games like The Darkness, Bioshock, Gears Of War & even Halo 3. Sure, I’ll play this again from time to time but it won’t be something I’ll be really playing like I would other games.
So in a nutshell, not a bad game it just is a bit disappointing & not quite as good as a filler I thought it would be, it’s gonna be a while before I fire it up again.

Customer Review: How Will You Play?
Well first off, I need to say I am a hardcore wrestling fan, and so this review is from a fan’s point of view. SmackDown 2008 is the most recent installment of the highly successful franchise, and it’s second visit to the Xbox 360 easily surpasses last years’ game. The most notable differences are the graphics, which have been improved ten-fold. The animations have also been modified - something that has needed to be done for the last few years - and whilst some moves still look insanely unrealistic (West Coast Pop on the Great Khali, anyone?) you can appreciate the changes that have been done. As is the standard for each years’ installment, a selection of good - and not-so-good - songs by low-profile and well known artists have been included within the game. The modes of last year have also seen some alterations, such as the combinations of the GM and Season modes into the new 24/7 mode; oddly enough, despite the new label, you have to choose whether to play as a superstar or a GM when you begin, and so in actuality you are still playing Season and GM Modes. The latest grappler also includes the use of fighting styles, such as Powerhouse, Brawler, High-Flyer and Showman. This is perhaps the best feature of the new game, as it adds the need for tactics when playing. No longer can you play as Rey Mysterio and defeat the Great Khali, because you will get flattened if you try and just beat your way to the victory. For me its a good feature, but for others it may cause disapointment. Also, there are no different styles depending on the console; the 360 has the same styles as all SVR08 on the other platforms. On the topic of the 360, THQ have finally answered one of the much-requested features in the game: the use of your own music as entrance themes for pre-existing and created superstars. This is incredibly useful for when you want to update a superstars entrance theme, i.e. Johnny Nitro’s MNM theme to the now-used John Morrison theme, and whilst it is a little tricky to work it allows extra customisation within the game. By now you probably have either heard or read about the ECW presence within the game, and so I won’t go too far into this except to say that the use of ECW and the new Extreme Rules match is both good and bad. The good side of the ECW superstars is that THQ have now included some ECW legends, such as Sabu and Terry Funk. What’s bad is that the roster for the new brand is unbelievably limited. In the Extreme Rules match we can now set-alight tables and 2X4 ‘Barbies’, and also choose from a much wider selection of weapons to deal the damage. The bad side is that you can only have this match in the ECW arena, not on a PPV, and also the new weapon-wheel often slows down the action in the ring, as all other action stops whilst the player or CPU decides. The roster is slightly smaller than last year, and is also outdated, but since there is the possibility of downloading new content (superstars, arenas and match-types) via Xbox Live, I’ll leave this section alone until more info is revealed by THQ. Xbox Live remains active for SVR08, however the same lagging and quiting issues remain from the last game. Players often still quit in the middle of a match, ending your session, and don’t get punished for it. THQ needs to introduce a method of demotion in rank for frequent quiters. What I find the most frustrating about this game is the fact that, for the third year, THQ has used the same commentary. I got this game for X-Mas and from the first match I could almost talk along word-by-word what the commentators were saying. It just suggests that THQ are lazy and don’t consider their buyers worthy of more quality. Overall, I think that most WWE/ wrestling fans will find this game to be enjoyable, particularly for those who have player SVR2007 to death over the last year. However, for players who just want to have some fun and don’t have any of the other installments, I would have to recommend either renting this and then deciding, or just buying either the 2006 or 2007 edition to be on the safe side.
Customer Review: What a waste of potential
I am a big fan of the smackdown franchise and have been for a long time, smackdown vs raw 2007 was an ace game for all the right reasons and with smackdown 2008 in my hands i thought its going to be the 2007 game with way more things to do, an even better title…..how wrong i was. The game lacks and forgets to improove on a number of things that made the 2007 game what it was, such as: 1. When your ontop of the hell in a cell on 2008 there is an invisible field around the edge now so u cant accidentally fall off due to your mistakes. In 2007 it was nerve racking and tense being up on the cell wondering if u make 1 false move you will fall off and your down for the count. 2. They have not removed the ridiculous spam moves that online players constantly use and toaly ruin the experience, anybody who played frequently on the 2007 will know about the instant headbutt move that players would just spam onto you untill your red and pin you as this move was 99% effiecient and out of my year playing the game i think i managed to reverse it once, and among my friends im known for being the reversal king. 3. not only have they left the old spamming moves in such as the instant heabutt they have also added new ways that the online players can ruin the experience, such as the diving roll trait from a high flyer which can escape 99% of any tricky situations for them leaving you open again to be spam headbutted over and over. 4. The fragility of wrestlers on this game is pathetic my grandmother could take more of a beating than the wrestlers on this game, do 3 moves and your on red body status just about. now in comparison to smackdown 2007 that is truly feeble and this made the game boring rather than challenging. Smackdown vs raw 2008 had so much potential with uploading your own theme tunes and smoother gameplay, even the traits were a good potential move, but THQ and co. could not have gone more wrong with this title its slow and boring with wrestlers that take less beating than a wet paper bag can. if your after a challenging fast paced adreneline rush wrestling game then smackdown 2007 is the ultimate choice (if you look up youll notice the game has already halfed in price and its only been out a few month, that speaks a thousand words in my opinion) wise words: dont buy this because its the newest one.

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.

The game features a newly built game engine, new weapons and vehicles, new multi-player maps, and a storyline that picks up after the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. There are different games in the multiplayer mode, including Slayer, Juggernaut, Capture the Flag, Assault, Oddball, King of the Hill and Territories.
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.

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.

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.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Xbox 360) Customer Review: Truly brilliant racing game.
NFS Most Wanted is a total success, because it manages to be exciting, addictive & this 360 version looks amazing. The city of Rockport is huge & it has a gritty & grimy look that’s very realistic.
The choice of cars is very extensive, & the career mode is the main part of the game where you work your way through, win races, earning money as you go & meeting new challengers in the game’s “blacklist”. I must also mention the movie scenes in between the races. These look absolutely superb & have real people in them, & not CGI characters !!
Finally, the police element in the game is wonderful. It’s huge fun to have the chance to make a getaway & have several police cruisers on your tail !!! Awesome.
A racing game that’s really special !!!
Customer Review: The best NFS for ages
Owning and completing this game on PS2 was a lotta fun so now owning a 360 I had to get it and play.
Let me start by saying I own both Carbon and Most wanted and most wanted is a far better game in every department.
For starters it the first one I can remember that actually races in the day allowing you to take in the beautiful graphics and overall design of the game.
The police chases A huge huge bonus they actaully make you feel tense as your wanted level goes up as you cause more chaos whilst racing.
The story is brilliant with hilarous FMV;s brilliantly cheesy and a lot of fun to watch. - Not sure if they where supposed to be comical to start with but by half they are cracking to watch.
The Cars themselves are good in number and choice, with the usual upgrade options on visuals/performance etc, with special limited parts becoming available as you win races from the main characters in the game.
An extra challenge series of some 50 set races allowing adds to the single player mode - but generally I would say getting all 100% will set you back 30+ hrs.
This is an excellent arcade racer for a good price that has an open play style of racing and the speed/panic it brings that only a few racers could hope for and in my view is only beaten by Burnour Revenge(at current time) as being king of the arcade racers.
