SynopsisWhen it comes to thwarting a massive Communist conspiracy, sometimes it doesn't pay to play by the rules. Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko is on a mission to disrupt a suspected North Korean ballistic missile program. Soon, however, he uncovers a terrifying secret: a vast conspiracy that could turn the tide of the Cold War in the Communists' favor. Now he must infiltrate the USSR, taking the mission into his own hands in order to destroy a potentially game-changing technology ~ not to mention anything else that gets in his way.Rogue Warrior immerses you in the real-life story of "Demo Dick" Marcinko: defiant, ruthless, crude and legendary. Live out the actions that have earned Marcinko both glory and infamy in the history books as you break the rules of conventional warfare to see your mission through to the end. Eliminate targets that could potentially serve as advantages to the enemy, and do whatever it takes to take out the enemy, performing more than 25 uniquely brutal kill moves. Scatter the secret world behind the Iron Curtain with a trail of destruction as you do anything and everything to guarantee mission success.

Luckily I rented this, but seeing there charging $60 for this terrible game I thought maybe a review would save someone from buying this dreadfulness. I played for an hour which was painful. I read at IGN that it takes 2 hours to beat it and no one is online to play. Also IGN gave it a 1.5!!! LOL! If you do play get ready to hear terrible cheesy dialogue with more "F-bombs" than you've ever heard in a game. Seroiusly. Also the graphics look PS2 at best. The stealth is super easy because the AI is so dumb they don't react to you running at them at a knife or when there buddy was just killed. Most have the back turned and don't move. Your gum aim is off and some enemys refuse to die with a clip into them, actually they wont even flinch. Simply the worst game I've played, even worse than Infernal Vengeance...
What's great about it: Micky Rourke, Cool Cover & Name.
What's not so great: Short, Glitchy, Cheesy Dialogue, Easy, Stupid AI
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Keep your important computer components running with this 400-watt ATX power supply that features a 6-pin PCI Express connector.

I needed a PSU after mine on my Dell 4700 blew out. This unit is the exact size of my original so installation was a snap. Cables are very long so I had no problem. The only thing that took awhile was neatly running them. Total intsallation took about 15-20 minutes. As long as you label or keep track of where you pulled the connector out of a novice can do this install. Compared to similiar 400 watt units from online retailers this is a bit expensive, but I wanted to buy something locally in store just in case I ran into problems and needed to return. The larger fan keeps my case much cooler and its so much quiter than my orignal fan. 400 watts is fine for me with the system, but if you have a modified computer you may need a more powerful unit. There are online calculators that can help you find the power you need. I would be wary of pushing any Power unit to its max. Very happy with the purchase overall!
What's great about it: Powerful Fan, Easy Install, Wires Wrapped & Long
What's not so great: A bit on the expensive side
I would recommend this to a friend!

I can't believe this game is $60.If you play this game staright you'll finish in about 4-5 hours and probably never play it again. It has no Live, but it does have 2 player Local Co-Op. You only fight 4 different enemies the whole game over and over so its quite repetitive. Loading times are very long and the Cutscenes are not that great. They tried to make the game longer by having alot of un-needed cutscenes. The cover system is pretty good and graphics are nice, especially the post-nuclear surroundings but that barely makes up for the price, length and poor story. It is easy to get nearly all the acheivements since playing it one time thru on Normal gets you about 900 (80 after every level). Save your money till this game is under $20
What's great about it: Good cover system
What's not so great: Short, Repetetive, No Live, Only 11 Acheivements
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not sure how someone can play for 5 minutes then give a review. In 5 minutes I doubt he even made it out of the Fallout Vault. Don't expect just a shooter with mutants running at you nonstop. There's way more to this game. Yes there's alot of people & mutants to blow away with cool weapons, sick targeting system, and skills you leveled up to, but the game isn't just that. Its more a Role Playing Adventure with Shooting. You can do what you want as you want. Want to be a Nice, or do you want to be a Post Apocalyptic Bad guy, blowing away everyone in sight and dining on them (yes, you can do that). I've played about 12 hours and I have'nt even scratched the surface of this world. Its HUGE! Most games in my opinion are to short and have little appeal to play again. This is the complete opposite. Game of the Year so far!
What's great about it: Looks Great, Huge World to Explore, You Decide How To Play
What's not so great: Not much. A few graphic glitches
I would recommend this to a friend!

Another T2 release. Being a huge T2 fan I was a bit dissappointed with this being a bar bones release. Its low price makes it worth it simply for the Picture Quality & Sound (but for a full out, amazing compilation I went with the HD DVD Steelbook Import.) James Cameron insisted on using Super35 process which has some advantages, but leaves the picture with much more "Grain" which is apparent on this and all T2 releases. But for $15 this should be in every ones Blu-Ray collection until Lionsgate releases the Ultimate Blu-Ray compilation which y ou can bet will be released one day. If you have a HD DVD player too though, get the T2 steelbook import.
What's great about it: Looks & Sounds great
What's not so great: Bare Bones, only Commentary, that its for extras
I would recommend this to a friend!
