This game is a must buy for fans of FPS's who own an Xbox 360. With a tight control scheme, engrossing campaign, and addictive multiplayer it is sure to be an instant classic. Never have I had more fun playing a game together with someone than playing terrorist hunt on realistic with a friend. The enemy AI is smart and vicious, some of the best I've seen in any game. At times they'll charge you when you least expect it and others they'll take cover and let others flank you while drawing your fire. The graphics are solid and the in game audio when played on surround sound is absolutley amazing. Easily one of the best first person tactical shooters out there, so check it out, you won't be disappointed.
What's great about it: Great graphics, campaign, and multiplayer

Compared to Death Proof, this is easily the best part of the Grindhouse. Flesh eating zombies, evil doctors, gun toting truck drivers with mysterious pasts, Planet Terror has it all. With its gore driven plot, sick humor, and one of the most outrageous female characters to ever grace the screen, Planet Terror is a perfect choice for fans of Robert Rodriguez's work. Some might find it over the top, too violent, a story with gaping holes, but thats how it was meant to be, a tribute to the Grindhouse films of the past, and in that sense it suceeds wonderfully.
What's great about it: Action packed, campy, and fun.
From director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg comes a thrilling battle between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons. When their epic struggle comes to Earth, all that stands between the Decepticons and ultimate power is a clue held by young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf). Unaware that he is mankind's last chance for survival, Sam and Bumblebee, his robot disguised as a car, are in a heart-pounding race against an enemy unlike anything anyone has seen before.

This movie isn't going to be an Oscar winner, but nonetheless it's still a movie worth seeing if you enjoy good action, the always great Michael Bay special effects, and robots fighting robots. The story is fairly simple, but the plot isn't "dull." Theres a lot of shooting and explosions, with great car/robot fighting scenes. I don't think anyone could have done a better job with making Transformers into a movie, so in that regards this movie is a success. If you liked any other movie Michael Bay did; Bad Boys 1&2, The Rock, Armageddon etc, then this movie will probably appeal to your tastes.

The first Fantastic Four had the potential to be a great film, but that potential was never seen. With it's lack of action and goofy attempts at funny dialogue, it bombed. The second installment defnitely improves upon those two points where the first failed, but this was still not enough to make a good movie. There is more action and the funny parts are somewhat funnier, but the character depth, interesting plot, and action a comic book movie should have are still missing. Silver Surfer is not a bad movie, it simply lacks the things to make it a good movie.
What's great about it: An improvement on the first film.
What's not so great: Still a medicore comic book movie.

For no one familiar with Tarantino's other works, this film might appeal to their tastes, but for anyone who has seen Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown etc, they'll soon realize that this is only a shell of what those movies were. Tarantino based this movie off of the "grindhouse" movie theater experience and in that regards he suceeds, but if you expect this to live up to some of his better works it will not. A true fan of his might spot some of the witty and rough dialogue he's famous for, or some of his unique filming styles, but great characters and a thick plot are not to be found. The reason I did recommend this movie is because while it is not his best work, he has succeeded in what he tried to do. He did not claim this would be a Pulp Fiction or a Kill Bill, he simply tried to make a film reminiscent of the ones he enjoyed watching in the past. The movie has some good scenes and all in all it is certainly not a bad film, but as far as movies he's made that will be remembered well into the future, this most likely will not be one of them.

For all that were worried about Halo 3 not living up to their expectations, worry no more. Halo 3 has built upon what Halo 2 was and made it better ten fold. The single player game is engrossing, yet some may say too short on the easier difficulty levels. The story is well told, but could be explained a little better, everything can be figured out just by paying close attention though, so no worries there. The game itself has many new weapons and as far as multiplayer goes many new things have been incorporated. There are a few of the old maps from Halo 2 which have been given a graphical overhaul and some of the layout has been changed. The new maps are well designed and will be sure to keep players finding new things well after the game was originally purchased. The new ranking systems for multiplayer are very easy to understand and the in-game menus are user friendly. The glitches that existed in Halo 2 have been eliminated and overall Bungie has created the perfect game to end the series.
What's great about it: Excellent graphics, good campaign, and amazing multiplayer.
What's not so great: None really, overall improvement on Halo 2.
