I bought Buzz: Quiz TV (with the wireless buzzers) for my PS3 a couple years ago and I just loved it. I recently bought a PSP so naturally when I saw this game, I knew I had to have it.
It's a blast to play and the host, Buzz, is simply hilarious. The graphics look great and the game levels are fun.
I just adore playing this game whenever I'm in the mood for brain games. I love movies and this game has plenty of movie-related questions.
I highly, highly recommend this game to anyone with a PSP and I also recommend the other games to people with a PS3.

I had no idea that this game, if that's what you want to call it, would be so tough (in a good way!). I am absolutely delighted that this product exceeded my expectations of how it would function. This game makes me sweat from places on my body that I didn't know had sweat glands, haha.
The running, track, and boxing exercises are what get my heart pumping to the max. I just love the variety of exercises that they offer in the game. I am doing the '30-day Challenge' right now and I just adore that each day I get to do something different in my routine (yesterday I got to dance!). I never get bored. Since the routines are so much fun I end up going through an entire workout, get to the end, but get upset that it's over. It makes me want to do more! I never thought I'd be excited to workout.

The resistance band is a great addition to game. Many have complained that the band that comes with the game is weak. I felt the same way at first but I increased it's resistance by shortening the length of the band between the two handles. Boom! Instant increase in resistance!! How hard was that to do?!!
I really do like the fact that you can also create your own custom workout. As an added cardio blast after a workout with my trainer, I created a routine that's pure running and boxing. How cool is that?
At the end of each workout session I am literally drenched in sweat. I haven't worked up a sweat like that in quite some time. I plan to recommend this game to EVERYONE I know who owns a Wii!
*
************************
P.S. - To everyone complaining about the game not registering your movements, you guys must not be holding the remotes properly, seating the nunchuk in the pocket properly, wearing the leg strap at the proper height, or something. I have yet to have the trainer or game tell me that I'm not standing correctly or holding a pose well. The only time it told me to 'Stand Still' was when I reached to scratch my head in between doing lunges.

P.S.S.. - I don't understand the people who are faulting this game because of the cord on the remotes. That is not EA's fault. They created the game based off of the current way the Wii is constructed. Nintendo should be the one criticized for not making the remotes cordless. In addition, Nintendo needs to upgrade the Wii so I see my games in hi-def.
What's great about it: This will truly make you work up a sweat, works every part of your body, oh and it makes you sweat...
What's not so great: My trainer (the guy) is cute...makes it hard for me to want to stop exercising. Ha ;)

I just loved this crazy movie. I don't want to spoil the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it but I will say that I thought it was pretty frigging cool to see the women turn the tables on their attacker. Too often in movies we see women as the helpless, hopeless victim. This movie had me howling at the movie screen when I saw it. I rooted for them like I was in the car with him. I loved every minute of it!!!! I would love to have this on Blu-Ray!!!
What's great about it: Characters are crazy!, adrenaline filled excitement, you get to see women women prevail for once in cinema
What's not so great: a lot of unecessary dialogue...but that's Tarantino's style...

This is such a good CD. I bought it maybe 2 months after I saw the movie for the fist time at the movie theater. I just love the mix of old Grindhouse-type music. I really love that all the music from the movie was on the soundtrack. I've always hated buying soundtracks because I heard a few songs in the movie that I loved yet, it's not even on the soundtrack. This is not the case with this CD. Every song from the movie that I loved was on the soundtrack. Way to go, Tarantino!!
What's great about it: Random artists, dialogue snippets from movie
What's not so great: nothing

I remember watching the BBC version of this movie in grade school (I'm 26 now) and it used to intrigue me. I absolutely loved the storyline and the characters. I never forgot that movie as I got older.
A few years ago, I heard rumors about the creation of a new 'Chronicles' movie and was elated. I just hoped that a modern day spin on the book wouldn't leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. The day the movie came out at theaters I saw this. It was great and was everything that I had hoped it would be. The action scenes were awesome. This movie was so good that I bought it on DVD the day it came out. Though I already have this on DVD, I am still going to buy it on Blu-Ray. I can't wait to see how good it looks on my big screen tv. I forced my little cousins to watch this one day and they loved it (though the lion & witch scared the youngest one a little bit). I regrettably have still not seen 'Prince Caspian' but I will definitely buy that on Blu-Ray soon.

![My So-Called Life: The Complete Series [5 Discs / With Book] (DVD)](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
When it originally aired in the mid-90s, My So-Called Life was greeted with critical acclaim and a ferociously loyal cult following for its sharp and layered depiction of coming of age as an American teenager at the end of the 20th century. Unfortunately, it was not met with spectacular ratings and was cancelled by ABC after only 19 episodes. Naturally, fans clamored for a proper DVD treatment, and in 2002, a complete series box-set was released. And while it finally allowed viewers to revisit the show, it was an imperfect release. The image quality left something to be desired and there was a lack of bonus features to accompany the episodes. Finally, with the release of this set from Shout! Factory, there is justice. Each episode has been digitally remastered and presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Moreover, there are a wealth of special features, including interviews, featurettes about the characters and music, and--best of all--cast and crew commentary on seven episodes. Once and for all, a dedicated fanbase has gotten what they'd long hoped for. This is the definitive My So-Called Life DVD release.

This is one my favorite and most memorable shows of the 90's. This show came out when I was in junior high. Every girl I knew watched this show and LOVED it. I cannot count how many times I've seen each episode. My all-time favorite episodes were 'So-called Angels' & 'Halloween'. In my mind, Claire Danes will always be Angela & Jared Leto will always be Jordan Catalano. Since MTV never shows music videos anymore, they should start airing reruns of this show again. Their ratings would probably skyrocket!! I would absolutely recommend owning the DVD collection to anyone who loved the show.
What's great about it: Everything!, well casted, great storylines,
What's not so great: Nothing's wrong with this...

Maybe I've just been desensitized by all of the horror movies of the past, but I thought this movie was lame. Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman's acting was on par but the script was lacking. This movie may have disturbed/frightened me if I was 12 or if I hadn't grown up watching the most gross of the sickest horror films.
What's great about it: Scott Speedman looks nice with a short haircut, acting was pretty believable
What's not so great: Storyline was dry, movie seemed like it dragged at times, ending kinda stunk

I just adore this game. I beat the game (in easy mode of course!) and was too excited. I'm now trying to take a stab at the next level. Contorting my fingers to press the 4 fret keys is kind of hard for me but I'm trying my best. The music is my favorite part of the game. I've rocked out to Cherub Rock by the Smashing Pumpkins & Barracuda by Heart so many times!! The game never gets old to me!!!
What's great about it: Awesome songs, easy to learn, tutorials helped me a lot!
What's not so great: none!

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

I love this game. I hadn't played GTA since I had the PS1. This is such a stark contrast to the one that I remember playing years ago. The graphics are great and the characters are so ridiculous that I just fell in love with them. My favorite gameplay moments are when Niko is blown up (his body launches into the air in the funniest way) and being able to shoot missiles and stuff at innocent pedestrians. The music playing on all of the different radio stations is great. What else can I say, I love this crazy game!!
What's great about it: Great graphics, sick storyline, twisted characters
What's not so great: None
