Return to Liberty City and the cruel streets in this second take of Grand Theft Auto IV. Customizable cars let you design Niko Bellic's ride as he travels the city in search of his fortune and an escape from his past. Intricate maps and the hottest music available on the stereo make Grand Theft Auto IV a wild adventure.

Best GTA I've ever played. Driving on this one is a little harder than before, but you'll easily get past that as I did. The missions are more action packed, and the fact that you can actually go out drinking, to the strip club, play pool or even take your girls out on dates makes this the most interactive GTA yet. Straight 10 hands down... Online play is a whole other review. Can't wait for downloadable content. A most have game for any system.
What's great about it: Story, graphics, more detailed...
What's not so great: Driving takes some getting used to...

The Covenant rules the Earth ~ the Flood has been unleashed ~ and the fate of life everywhere hangs in the balance. Master Chief, a genetically engineered super soldier, is the last chance for humanity's survival. Stowed away on a Forerunner ship, he rushes back to Earth to defeat the Covenant once and for all. Hopelessly outnumbered, his outlook is bleak. But when you are bred for battle, you fight past the breaking point and bow to no one. It's all been building to this ~ a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Help this incredible hero stop the Covenant, destroy the Flood and save the lives of every person on the planet.The third chapter in the critically acclaimed franchise features insane battles with an arsenal of alien and human weaponry. Discover all-new armaments and characters as you fight to the finish. You can even play online with Xbox Live and battle in pulse-pounding multiplayer action. Next-generation graphics and technological advances, such as enhanced artificial intelligence and a beefed-up real-time lighting engine, make Halo 3 shine with stunning realism.

I never played Halo before but this game is pretty good. It can be repetitive when playing ranked matches because you play the same 4 maps over and over... There is a new map pack downlaod available though if your willing to pay for it. I would recommend Call Of Duty4 before i would this game...
What's great about it: Graphics are nice
What's not so great: Slow game play compared to COD4

Once you've created your character, an open progression plan lets you choose how you want to roll.No matter what crazy moves you try, the intuitive Flickit dual analog control system makes every movement feel authentic. Ride around town with the sickest Skaters on the planet, such as Danny Way, Mark Gonzales and others. Design your own tricks, string them in a row and, if you're good enough, all your hard work will pay off with coverage of your talents in Thrasher or The Skateboard Mag. Prove that it's not all hype by capturing your sick in-game moves and editing the footage to create your own Skate video.

If you like a button pusher game, this game isn't for you. Setup every part of your trick starting with the jump to your landing with the analog sticks. I think this may be the most realistic skate board game out there. A lot of diffrent challenges keep you hooked for hours trying to get sponsors to sign you. Great game to have...
What's great about it: Awesome graphics

SynopsisContinue the legendary mad hoops action in NBA 2K8, featuring New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul on the cover. Now in its ninth year, the series presents extreme on-the-court excitement and the intensity found only in the realm of the NBA. Sport your gravity-defying moves from city to city in Dunk Contest challenges, where only the baddest and the best can unlock new dunks, props and players in multiplayer and online modes. Keep the screaming crowds interested or say goodbye to your career. The groundbreaking Signature Style feature returns, this time with hundreds of new shooting, dribbling and passing animations. Change the playing style of your favorite team members and create custom moves and dunk packages to send the fans into a frenzy. Control players all over the court to call for alley-oops, jostle for post position and set screens. Scoring isn't the only consideration; new defensive controls enable you to play tighter defense on the ball handler and run other defensive sets that shut down the offense. For additional thrills, up to six players can compete in the NBA 3-Point Shootout.

I've been a NBA Live fan since the game has been out but have been disapointed for the last 2 years. This year i made the switch to 2K8 and i can honestly say i'll never play Live again. The game play is so smooth and the graphics are awesome... it's like watching a really basketball game. A PS3 must have game!!

Another must have PS3 game... A lot of PSN add-on's are available for this game too including new maps and vehicles. Fast pace off road racing with no boundaries as far as tracks... Go right if you have a bike or buggy to stay out the mud, or go left and blow through the mud if your in a truck. Great game to have...
