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.

Review: Wordplay Games Get New Twists
FOX News - Two stars. — ” Word Puzzle ” (Microsoft, for the Xbox 360, $10): The word search (or word seek, or word find, whatever you prefer) is kind of the slack-jawed cousin of the crossword, but this Xbox Live Arcade game livens it up a little by adding time

Neo Se Advanced Controller (Xbox 360)
Amazon Price: ?19.99
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!

Guitar Hero II with X-Plorer Guitar Controller (Xbox 360) Customer Review: thinking about the whole price??
I bought this game on a impulse buy and it really paid off. being able to rock out to beauties like R.A.T.M - killing in the name and guns and rose - sweet child of mine. what you have to look at is the price is it really worth it?? the answer is always yes! how much does a new game cost these days? around 40 to 50 quid. so for a extra 30 on top you get the guitar aswell. if you can’t play the guitar for real this game will compensate for that. And guitar heroes 3 is almost out and that seems even better. buy now you wont be disappointed.
Customer Review: If I could give it 6 stars I would
This game is utterly utterly brilliant you MUST buy it!!! Totally addictive and throughly enjoyable. Get your mates round, get the beers in and ROCK ON!!!
