I recently purchased this CD for my little sister. I'll admit that many of his songs that are on the radio are catchy and that I have no problem towards him what-so-ever. The only thing that I would have to say about this CD is that there are a lot of love songs. For such a young singer, with a young general artist, I feel as if it's full of too many love songs. Regardless, the songs are still pretty good haha. I would definitely recommend this CD to those into his music. Usher has done a great job with this kid.

Bioshock 2 has improved the overall game-play from the original Bioshock. Dual-wielding with plasmids and weapons add a whole new element to the game. This makes it a whole lot easier and faster for the plasmid/weapon attack combo. 2k Sports has also changed the hacking system of machines. I felt that the way to hack machines in the original Bioshock was too time consuming that took away a bit from the game. They made the process a lot faster to hack. Also you can hack from a distance with the new hack dart tool. I feel that the story line lacks and strays away from the original Bioshock a bit. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy to add to an already great storyline from the original. Although I didn't find this as scary/shocking, they still found a way to keep it interesting. The addition of online play did nothing but help expand the game-play. You can now fight against others in different game modes. The more you play the higher rank you become. The higher rank that you become, the more abilities and upgrades you have available. This is a great shooter game which it sure to please.
What's great about it: Dual Wield, Online Play, Graphics

Fight Night 4 took a step up with this game. The graphics are a lot better than Fight Night 3 with the all-new physics system. Although this game is missing some key boxers, they started to make downloadable updates through xbox live. You might get through Legacy mode a bit faster than you would like, but it's a great game for online play.

One of the best games ever. It has a great storyline with 3 different ending depending on your choices during the game. It's not a hard game to play either, it's pretty easy to catch on. You'll find yourself playing this game constantly until you beat it. It's scary enough to a point that you would jump out of your seat a couple of times, but not so much that you wouldn't want to play this game. It's one of the must have shooter games.

This is a really fun game right off the back. As soon as you start the game you get introduced to many different characters and you slowly get attached to the way they treat you. Then just as any other school, there comes a lot of drama and twists and turns. Don't expect any blood out of this game, only wedgies and stink bombs. Any one who likes to play around school and just mess with people and get away with it, this is your type of game.

This is the most realistic Skateboarding game that I've played. Unlike Tony Hawk, you're able to perform tricks that are possible in real life. The best thing about this game is that by using your thumb to perform the tricks with the Flickit feature, you actually have to think about your trick and practice is like you would do in real life.
What's great about it: Gameplay,
What's not so great: Only Single Player, Not an Easy Game
