What's great about it: Fast, easy to oc, affordable
What's not so great: Installation is easy, but CPU can be easily damaged if not extremely careful, stock fan is weak

definately a fun game would recommend to anyone, main storyline didnt take very long to complete but i guess the online features and other modes make up for it
What's great about it: game play is great, storyline is decent graphics are unreal
What's not so great: pretty easy to beat, only took between 10 and 15 hours to beat it
