Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto V will ship on two discs; Disc 1 will be used for a one-time mandatory install and Disc 2 will be used to play the game. After the install, players will be able to enjoy both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online without any need to switch discs. This initial install will require an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive (sold separately) with at least 8GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive, it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimal performance.

GTA V launched with such high expectations due to developer Rockstar's history for creating awesome, breathing worlds with past games. Even with the bar already set so high, it is amazing to see that not only were their previous high standards met, but exceeded in every way imaginable. GTA V is a true classic and will blow your mind with all the content packed on this game disc. Even if GTA Online fails when it launches Oct. 1, which I highly doubt considering the care taken to craft such a masterpiece with the single player campaign, this game will deserve a 5/5 rating based off of the offline content. Highly Recommended (for anyone 18+ years old).

After years of hearing of Fight Club and so many pop culture references, I decided to finally watch it. By the title, I was expecting one thing, but by the end, I was totally blown away by the plot, acting and characters in this awesome film. If you haven't seen it, see it. If you have seen it before, watch it again! Highly recommended.

Rainbow 6: Vegas is non stop action from beginning to end with a very high replay value. Whether you are playing online thru Co-Op or Multiplayer, the fun does not stall. The Solo campaign is challenging enough to keep you busy for 10 - 15 hours, but the you'll spend countless hours experiencing all that Multiplayer thru XBox Live has to offer. There are several fantastic game modes that it's fairly easy to say that there is likely something for everyone here.
If you like FPS, Rainbow 6: Vegas is definitely worth every penny.
What's great about it: Multiplayer, Co-Op, AI, Difficulty, Replay Value
What's not so great: A Few Glitches in Multiplayer Mode

One of the Year's best albums of any genre, and definitely the best R&B album so far this year. Keyisha Cole's newest project will make a perfect addition to anyone's collection.
"Just Like You" is a must buy!
What's great about it: Beautiful Voice, Well Written, Great Performance

I was torn between givng "As I Am" a 4 or 5 star rating. I have decided to give Alicia Key's most recent ceative venture 4 stars based off the fact that, even though a tremendously great album, I feel that this album does not live up to the standard that has been set by her previous 2 albums. "As I Am" is a very diverse album that shows off her skills and musical talent, as well as her creativity.
Where the album falls short is on the vocals. I felt her passion from the words she was singing, not from the (lack of) emotion she was singing with. Also, A. Keys made a name for herself by establishing herself as a singer, who also plays the piano. Well, in "As I Am", these piano based ballads are missing. The piano is still being used, but not in the complexity and significance as her ealier works.
With all that said, it's still a very great and addictive album, one of the year's best. Definitely worth buying, you will not regret it!
What's great about it: Consistently Good Album From Beginning to End
What's not so great: Where's the Piano, Cornrows (lol), and Emotion

This is a very fast paced, exciting game from beginning to end. As soon as the game is inserted into your XBox, you'll be faced with non-stop action. There really isn't much of a story behind the game other than you being a supercop sent to rid the city of gangs. However, as your skills progress thoughout the game, explosions become bigger, your aim becomes more accurate, and the fun increases.
Co-op is great, especially through Xbox Live. Weapon selection is adequate (thogh I love the rocket and grenade lauchers a lot). There are tons of bad guys to gaurantee you won't get bored. And above all, the price makes in extremely affordable. Crackdown is definitely a must buy for fans of the "sandbox" genre.
What's great about it: Gameplay is Fast, Furious and affordable
