Battlestations: Midway (Xbox 360)
Customer Review: Worst game I have ever played!!! (except Catwoman…)
I got this game with my 360 yesterday. I had a choice between this game and pro evo 6, as im no fan of football and dont like the games i stupidly chose Battlestation Midway.WHAT A MISTAKE!!! at first i put the disk in and selected US campain. The controls are ok but like someone else has already said u cant move and use binoculars at the same time very well without crashing. The graphics are not really up to my expectations for a 360 game either, the sea is bland and flat and the vehicles dont look anything special although the sky does look pretty realistic. Now for the worst bit the fps (frames per second) On a certain mission u use an aircraft carrier ship and u deploy planes which u can fly. I liked the plane bit the best coz its quite fun flying around but as soon as u deploy a few more planes (like about 3) the fps turns abmisally jerky. You need to drop bombs on a japenese ship but the framerate is so slow that when u hover perfectly over the ship and drop a bomb the framerate cant catch up with u and u end up missing. Also when ur flying, u cant make sudden turns coz its SOOOO slow and jerky. It totally ruined my experience of a first 360 game. DONT BUY!! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY!!! hpfully other 360 games are better and more fluid…
Customer Review: Navy In Your Hand!
Now this techniqually is the first attempt at WW2 naval combat. And they have done this in such an amazing way!
Im a big fan of WW2 games, and even i was getting tired of the same old aerial, and ground combat games like, Call of Duty, and Blazing Angels, so the smart men of Eidos thought, well lets take this to the pacific ocean!
At the height of the war in the pacific where the great nation of America fights the Japanese imperial armies, now i remember theres not even many ground combat games for the war in the pacific, the only one i really remember is MOH Rising Sun, and that in some cases was unsuccessful. Naval Warfare on the other hand can be, if you know what’s going on, now the japanese navy wasn’t amazing, but it was formidable, so that gives some insight into the pacific theatre of war.
Ok then, enough history, now for the fun, the ships are BEAUTIFUL! i love them to bits, from the little torpedo boats, to the aircraft carriers of the amercian navy, re-live the battles you had only seen in Nval warfare films, and footage. Carriers- Without them, USA wouldn’t have done so well, though proving extremly easy targets, they have formidable flak coverage. And Also has the capacity of Fighters, Fighter Bombers, and Dive Bombers!
You send these planes out in three squadrons, of 3, which are unique in there own way!
Battleships-Destroyers- The brunt of the Navy, the Battleship!, powerful guns, and the speed of a turtle, these titans are amazingly powerful in the right tactical way! Remember, these also prove Large targets, but have again a powerful Flak coverage.
The work hourse of the Navy, and my personal fav, the Destroyer, nimble, and powerful, this ship provides accurate, shorter ranged fire, but if stcuj in a difficult postion has the speed, and just about enough fire to get you the hell out!
Submarine- Sneaky, and very powerful, set the sub to a depth and chose your victim, launch upto 4 torpedoe’s a time, but remember, theres and oxygen count, and you will surface, making you very vulnerable.
The planes, useful for attacking airfields, and Naval facilities, Fighters intercept other fighters, or dive bombers, and fighter bombers. The dive bomber, launches a torpedo in the hull of a ship, and remember there’s a squad of three planes with you and they will fire along with you. You can track the torpedo into the hull of the ship. But to do this you must reduce speed, and get to an angle which would hit the ship, making you a sitting duck!
And to finish off, the Fighter Bomber, useful for taking out Aifields and Nval shipyards, like the name you go into a steep dive, and at the right moment release your bomb onto the target, and yes you follow the bomb, and your other teammates will release on time with yours!
Multiplayer!
With great Power comes a great mulitplayer capability, and this is shown on Midway, everyone takes a position on board, like for example, one player, would take one naval shipyard on the amercian team, and another player would take the naval shipyard on next to the first, sending a total of 4 ships out a time! (The same goes for the other side!)
When it all hits off your thinking of what to do, and its hard, no one is following a tactial route, so you must use your units, and find a way to out think, and out match your ememy, this may not always be the case though, overall the multiplayer is fantastic, with an array of vehicles at your disposal!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.
The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game’s real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want.
Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset.
Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know.
The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.

Customer Review: good good
this game is the first game i ever got for the 360 and even today it beats assassins creed and halo 3,because its endless. with this game you don’t have levels and boundarys telling you your going the wrong way,because every way is the right way.you go through the tutorial with simple enemies and understandable story line,you choose your class and when your finished you go where you want you kill,steal,hide from,whoever you want.if you dont feel like doing the main storyline,sod it become an assassin or a thief,or a gladiator.earn money to buy better weapons and armour and become solid and then do the main storyline. as for the battle system one button the block one to magic one to attack all you have to do is move and decide which way to kill them.various magic ability’s can be learned or bought,like your elements ice fire thunder and water,you can unlock doors lock pick or magic,telekinesis,breath under water summon monsters to help out against a tougher opponent. the graphics are very good capturing the environment as you roam around and the faces of different races if there expression towards you is angry or happy.swords axes bows and arrows are all detailed depending on the material,its just a shame about the blood.structures such as houses in town and farms are very good too. with a variety of everything to do its just the best game to come out for years(apart from when fable 2 comes out)for any console,so i recommend you buy this game and cherish it.
Customer Review: Prepare for your social life to end.
If you only get 5 games for Xbox 360 this has to be one of them, maybe even if you only get 1. There are massive pop-up graphical issues, but with a world so large with many different creatures and 100s of missions to do you will not be complaining. Powering up your Character is a lot of fun. Be careful when you start to choose the right creature type for you, because you can’t change that later and you’ll be playing as the same one for many hours. I would put on this game and then check my watch later and realise I’d just spent 4 hours collecting plants, mixing potions and doing a couple of side missions. Just finishing the main story line is to miss the point. Highly recommended to all and sundry.

Customer Review: nyko fans stop working properly after a month
i bought the nyko cooler system, worked for about a month, then started making a strange noise, i felt round the back on xbox and it was nearly on fire, after that had red ring of death and freezing. ALOT of people have had problems with the nyko cooler, gonna try this cooler king out, also it doesnt use the xbox’s power like the nyko. nyko is a dream for a month, after that your back to square 1.
Customer Review: Buy this!
The NIKO is rubbish it does break the xbox 360.. It stops the xbox 360 gettting the power it needs! This dont do that. And it adds to extra fans so more air can go in and out of the xbox! I have one of these and i feel my xbox 360 is doing better than ever, i put my hand on the back and i can actually feel the air blowing my hand not boiling hot air and you think your xbox is on fire!

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.
