Crysis
Crytek HITS ANOTHER HOMERUN
FAR CRY was one of the best FPS games ever sold. It created such a following that can only be compared to that of UNREAL and the original HALF-LIFE. CRYTEK, the developer of both FAR CRY and CRYSIS, clearly did not rest on its laurels. CRYSIS is an *EVEN BETTER GAME* in many aspects.
And topping FAR CRY is NOT an easy task...
Graphically the game is GORGEOUS! (Both DX10 and DX9

Gamecube Controller Platinum
Kinda awkward but good for Soul Calibur 2! ^_^
We logged in countless amounts of time, sweat, tears and blood into that game! Animal Crossing and Super Smash Bros. were loved also. Mario Kart: Double Dash was good for multi-player.
Overall, it's not that hard to use but I agree the Z button is kinda hard to reach at times. The layout isn't perfect but it's better than some say.
3.75 stars.

Playstation 3 Charge Base 2
Does what is supposed to do.
One star for fun, because I am not the kind of person who likes sitting in front of a gadget and watch it charge its battery, but if you are so inclined, this is the device for you!!!
It does what is meant to do, nothing more, it has 2 flaws though, first, there is no on/of switch, the lights are way too bright, and they never go off, so you have to unplug it at night, unless you're t

Wii Fit Balance Board Pink Silicone Sleeve
good, but....
I ordered this for my wii fit board because when I used the board bare foot, my feet would get sore. IT helps out a lot to lessen the roughness of the board, however, it does slip around a slight bit with some of the different balancing games so use it carefully. It is nice, but I'm not sure I really needed this accessory.

PlayStation 3 Pro Gamer's Case
Functional but Tight
I'd like to begin by stating that I've been using this case for seven months. That being said, a Playstation 3 setup begins to increase in size. More controllers, more games, more accessories. This case is perfect for carrying around the system, two controllers, power/composite cables, USB cables for the controllers, and two games. If you plan on adding things to the mix, such as extra controllers

Scrabble Champion Edition
Scrabble
I ordered this game several months ago. I have had many hours of fun with it, but over time several problems began to occur. For one thing the game will end and I will get "game over" when I still have letters that I can play and options for playing them. This is especially frustrating when I am only a few points behind! Also it seems like over time the game begins to give me multiples over and ov

Saints Row
Not for kids
This is game is ok. The graphics are more animated (cartoon like) than computer generated like GTA. The language is very, very bad in this game and not suggested for young kids. I have to play the game on mute cause of the youngsters in my household.

Wii Fit Rechargeable Battery Pack for Balance Board
Works well, but comes up a little short
The rechargeable battery pack works well, but it seems like it needs to be plugged in a lot more than I'd like. It would be more helpful if the USB cord was longer so you could actually use the feature of being able to plug it into the Wii console as you work out so it continues to charge. I will have to purchase a USB extension to be able to fully use it.

Army of Two
Okay not Great
We have played Halo, Gears of War and some others and I really feel this game in no way lives up to either of those. The language is a lot stronger than it needs to be to get the message of the game across. I never see how *excess swearing* adds to the fun of a game. Then a lot is based on cooperative mode where one can't do a thing without the other (thus the title 'Army of Two' I guess. I didn't

Two Worlds
Glad I waited for price to come down.
After playing the demo I was eagerly anticipating this game due to the innovative stacking weapon system, the large range of skills, weapons, and items, and the free open-ended character development. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the potential I expected. Perhaps I'm getting too old to be playing video games (37) as there seems to be a distinct decline in games' story quality over the last

Guild Wars: Eye Of The North - Expansion Pack
Not for casual gamers
I'm not a hard core gamer and when I play an RPG I like to explore and do quests without having to die a million times and ended up failing.
This game, although graphically decent looking, is impossibly hard that it always left me cursing and frustrated. Playing a game is supposed to have fun but this one leaves me angry. I wished the developer could have put an option like any other

Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote
Good remote
The remote is pretty much necessary with a couple flaws. This remote should be included with the PS3 or at the very least an IR port should be on the PS3 to allow using a universal remote. This seems a stupid place to cost cut. I also really hate that there is no power button to turn off the PS3 remote. Yes, you can navigate the menu and shut down, but that is really poor design. On the same

Grand Theft Auto IV
Whats really going on?
GTA has been a favorite of mine since GTA III. The game is always fun. I like how they added GPS to the vehicles. The graphics aren't too bad. Its alot of fun...for the most part. I give it a 7 out of 10 I like how they added the cell phone thing into the game, but it can also be a pain. If your a cold blooded killer, your not gonna blow up my cell phone asking me to hang out, and get upset and lo

Disney Classics: Toy Story 2 Active Game
I bought this for my 6 year old grandson. We had a very difficult time at first knowing how to play the game. We gave up after awhile and his dad figured out how to play it and now he loves the game.
There should be a manual with clear directions so anyone can understand how to play the game.

Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride
Not that great
I have two daughters 4 & 6 that did not enjoy this game very much. They found it difficult to move around in certain scenes, was not very user friendly, and did not come with enough instruction on what you can and cannot do in each scene sequence. They tried playing with it 2-3 times and lost thier enthusiasm.

Madden NFL 09
Several steps in the right direction but nowhere n
Madden development has been coasting ever since EA bought the rights to the NFL - that's pretty much understood at this point. But they've now been coasting long enough that the cumulative effect is it is a better game than it was three years ago. The presentation quality is still not as polished or deep as NFL 2K5, but it's gotten better. There are definitely some critical gameplay issues, som

Super Mario Galaxy
Dashed hopes...
After thoroughly enjoying Mario Kart Wii, I decided to give Super Mario Galaxy a try. I started playing the Mario games with the first one, and have played most of the main titles, including Mario 64. I'm not an expert on gaming, but even I could tell that this game was lacking. Here are my top complaints:
This game seems to be made for young children. The plot is weak, the char

Dreamfall Game of the Year
Why mess with perfection?
I loved the first Dreamfall adventure game - this one mucked up the works by trying to add a clunky action game combat system. The good news is, you almost never have to use it. This game still has the atmosphere of the first one with more updated graphics.
Overall, fun to play.

Not Quite
The art style and the dialog is great for kids, the idea is pretty simple, work up the restaurant ladder, get paid, buy more recipes, and propel to being a top restaurateur/chef. Since the idea of a cooking game was originally tried by Cooking Mama, this game borrows a lot of the initial ideas of tasks to complete a dish. The nice part is the ability to re-do portions if the results are Poor and b

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Good, but I miss a few things from Rayman 1
I LOVED the first Wii Rayman game. That was probably the most fun I've had on my Wii to date and I was so happy when I finished it. Being a little Rayman'ed out, I waited several months before getting Rayman 2.
It's defintely easier to play, but I miss a few things.
Pros:
1) Much faster gameply, you don't have to finish all the games to advance to the next level l

Grand Theft Auto IV
It's ok
Well, I was excited for GTA4 to come out and couldn't wait to play it. But as the game progressed I have to say I actually got bored. The storyline didn't grab me as much as other GTA's. The graphics were nice, and it was a fun at first just exploring, but I guess I miss the variety of San Andreas with its forests, deserts, mountains, small villages and big cities.

It's like playing iSpy.
This game is a good way to kill some time, and the graphics are very good, but overall I found the game to be redundant and not something I could really get into.
What you do is go on 14 dive missions to various parts of the Titanic. Your mission is to collect missing "artifacts". Some artifacts might include lizards, pears, and warheads. Other artifacts might include old coins, candl

Heroes of Might & Magic 4
It's...different.
Heroes of Might and Magic III was so great, it left me wondering how they could improve it. This game showed me that they couldn't, so they tried some new ideas. Some were good, like your heroes can actually participate in battle; in fact, you could have a group solely comprised of heroes. The artifacts are just weapons, armor, etc that you can buy for your heroes to improve them in combat...which
