Travel to a galaxy far, far away and continue the story of the epic Star Wars saga. Set in the massive unexplored era between episodes III and IV, this storyline has players taking on the role of Darth Vader's secret apprentice ~ the powerful anti-hero, Starkiller. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II takes place in the era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. Assuming the role of Darth Vader's secret apprentice, players must wield lightsabers and utilize unimaginable force powers to fulfill the Sith Lord's dark plans. Will you be seduced by the Dark Side of the Force, or can you fight it to become a powerful Jedi Master?

My thoughts on TFU II is that it could of been better. The gameplay plays the same as the original but with a few new nice tweaks, such as wielding dual lightsabers and decapitating limbs off enemies. Force powers are once again upgraded by earning experience, but the only ones I found to be new were the mind trick and "Force Fury" which increases Starkillers stats and go on an overkill easily. The cons of the game is that its EXTREMELY short, I've beating it the same day I bought it. The other is that they're not many enemies to fight, its mainly storm troopers, guards, and robots..and the boss battles are VERY limited. I have to say only the hardcore Star Wars fanatics should pick this game up for their collection..for others, maybe a rental would be best.
What's great about it: Dual lightsabers, decapitate limbs off enemies
What's not so great: Extremely short, fighting the same enemies over and over

On the edge of known space, entire human colonies have vanished. Once again Commander Shepard must step in, this time to repel the alien abductors, but he can't do it alone. Shepard calls on Cerberus, a ruthless organization dedicated to human survival at all costs. Faced with a common enemy, Shepard and Cerberus unite, assembling an elite squad of fighters from throughout the galaxy. As they board the most powerful ship ever built, this newly formed crew carries with it the hopes of every last human. Embark on a mission to save the human race in Mass Effect 2, the second title in the Mass Effect trilogy. This action-packed thriller takes you to familiar locations, such as the Citadel, as well as to deadly unknown new worlds. As you navigate new planets and go forth on side missions, you'll reveal new secrets in the Mass Effect universe. In battle, defend yourself and your team with an improved combat system and weapons from 19 classes. A new location-based damage system lets you target key weak points, blast off limbs, set enemies ablaze or take down entire enemy troops.

First impression, WOW! Mass Effect 2 is by far better and greater than Mass Effect 1 in all ways. The story is deep and entertaining, my first play through took me around 30 hours to beat (that's including all side guests etc.). The voice acting is well superb, one of the best in today's games. The good and bad moral choices made this time are better than before, just the whole feel of it is better than in the first Mass Effect. The graphics are also beautiful, from character models to the detail on planets. The only problems I found with the game was at first scanning planets, it can be annoying cause at first your scan is horribly slow, though you can upgrade it to be a little faster, just the whole idea can be a pain. The second was during conversations, where you can make a paragon or renegade choice by simply pulling the left or right trigger, however if your not paying attention good enough you can easily miss it, since the choice flashes at either the lower or right corner on your TV. Overall, Mass Effect 2 is very fun to experience and play, a must have for all 360 owners.
What's great about it: graphics, deep storyline, great voice acting, gameplay, length, good/bad moral choices
What's not so great: scanning planets can be a pain, and good/bad interupts can be missed if not paying attention

Another Great Game from Bioware...but With Flaws

After a little over 26 hours of playing Dragon Age, I finally concluded the game. Few things I can say is that the game is pretty good, the story is interesting (though it reminds me of Lord of the Rings in some ways), and the length of the game is pretty long depending if you do a lot of stuff outside the main story. The graphics look a little washed, though not bad, just not jaw dropping for a next gen game. The biggest problem I had with the game was the combat, I found my character just standing around and not attacking, and when I locked on to another enemy my character would run from the fight, which after a while became very annoying. The loading times in the game can be long, but I didn't mind regardless. Overall, a good solid game that delivers entertainment.
What's great about it: Great Story, In Depth Gameplay, Length, Good/Bad Decisions
What's not so great: Long Loading Times, Bugs, Combat

Batman Arkham Asylum is easily one of the best games of this year. The story of the game sucks you right in and is easily one of the best. The graphics are incredible looking due to running on the Unreal Engine. The combat system is flawless and easy to grip on. The voice acting is also one of the games best, Batman and Jokers voice are well superb, as well as the other characters. Once beaten, you can go back and solve The Riddlers 240 challenges he left for you across Arkham Island, as well as playing the Challenges and compete with others for the highest score. The only bad thing the Xbox 360 version did not get was playing as the Joker in the challenge maps, which is PS3 only, but even this little missing piece does not spoil any fun with this game, and is easily one of the titles for Game of the Year in my opinion.
What's great about it: Story sucks you right in, Incredible graphics, Combat system, Great voice acting
What's not so great: Cant play as Joker in challenge maps

The Force Unleashed is one of the greatest Star Wars games made next to Knights of the Old Republic. The gameplay is good, and the use of force powers is excellent, you can finally use powers with a nice display of its use due to its nice graphics. Boss battles are fun in ways, once the boss's health reaches near zero your plunged into a quick button hit/mash, which shows the last seconds of the fight in a nice cinematic way. Also with the announcement of Ultimate Sith Edition will add more gameplay, due to its extra three levels which you become a Sith Lord after the bad ending of the main story and hunt down the last of the Jedi in the rebellion.
What's great about it: Good story, use of force powers, and the annoucement of the Ultimate Sith Edition
What's not so great: little short

I bought this ATI Radeon HD 4350 from being talked into getting an ATI brand and since my computer needed a graphics card anyway. My experience with it has been satisfying for the most part, it runs games and movies at a smooth rate and makes images a little more clearer. Only problem I had with the card was how to set it up, the instructions lack on telling the buyer you have to go into BIOS and command the motherboard to stop looking at the on board video and look at the PCI slot, i.e. this was my problem. However sometime down the road I plan to upgrade to a even better ATI graphics card, but for now this 4350 will do. Other than that a solid card for a solid price.
What's great about it: Easy to install on the motherboard, Good pricing
What's not so great: Instructions

Fallout 3 is one of the greatest RPGs made, the graphics are outstanding, the gameplay is great enough to keep you glued to the seat, large D.C. area to explorer, and the available DLC. The main story in Fallout 3 is interesting, though I found it to be somewhat short, but thats what the DLC is for, adding more hours of gameplay and fun. The enemies you face in the wasteland range from super mutants, ghouls, raiders, deathclaws and some others. The bugs I found in Fallout 3 mainly happens during battle, I experienced some freeze ups, slowdown, and while in VATS my character would totally miss the target, even at a 95% hit chance, but these bugs I easily ignored and still enjoyed the experience. Fallout 3 also offers replay value, will you be the good son? or the evil son? Either case, if you have not played this game, you should play it and go out and buy it.
What's great about it: Graphics, Gameplay, DLC, Large Area to Explorer
What's not so great: Some Bugs
