This was the best game that I have yet to play on the 360. From the very beginning I was sucked into the storyline. You think you know what is happening with the story and then they throw you a curve ball. I like the idea of two different endings depending on how you deal with the little sisters, although it doesn't effect much else in the game. The game play gets a little monotonous with how many things you have to hack, but somehow that still didn't take away from the experience. I definitely stayed up way too late playing this game a few times. You're so wrapped up in the game you forget to the look at the clock. The graphics are amazing. If you have an HD TV you'll like the amount of detail they put into everything. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shooters. Caveat: they're serious with the Mature rating, this game is not for kids.
What's great about it: Storyline keeps you interested, Graphics are amazing, Controls are easy to get used to

Although the game play was very much like Halo 2 there are a few key changes and the storyline is more compelling. The changes are a few different weapons, four grenades instead of two, sniper rifle and battle rifle are harder to use(which may sound like a bad thing but it's not), and equipment (bubble shield, trip mine, anti shield generator, etc.). The differences don't seem to change the game all that much. Bungie definitely used the motto 'if it ain't broken why fix it' so if you liked Halo 2 then you're bound to like Halo 3.
What's great about it: Guns equally powerful (not everyone with a BR), Storyline better than Halo 2, campaign scoring, map vetoing online
What's not so great: Still seems to be something lacking with the storyline

I wasn't a huge fan of their first album. There were a few good songs, but overall I wasn't impressed. I wasn't expecting that much from this album, but it surprised me. I listen to this CD all the way through over and over in the car. There isn't a single song that I skip. If you're a fan of the rock genre you should give it a try.

I love everything about this game. It's basically counter strike with magic. Each race it very well balanced. There is no clear cut better race, they all are good with different things depending on what type of player you are. The same goes with the magic spells. Many of the spells counter act each other. Shadowrun has a steep learning curve because you have to figure what combinations of magic with each race works well. But that is part of the fun, playing around with different combinations.
