I loved the first Gears and knew Gears of War 2 was going to be great too. I got this game on the midnight release and it was the limited edition one too. The story is done very well and the gameplay never gets old. All of the executions are a blast to do too. Also, the weapons are all fun to use and the cover system is pefect. The graphics are amazing you will love this game in HD gurranted. Plus, horde mode with friends is fun everytime and makes the game so much better. Even the story playing it on co-op or by yourself is a great time. One issue I have is the matchmaking for online I just don't see a point in it. I liked the lobby system from the first game better. Its annoying because if I want to play one gametype I have to hope others vote for the same one, which most of the time doesnt happen. Also, same with the map its always the one I dont want. Where as in the first game they let you pick where you wanted to play and the gametype you wanted too. They are coming out with a title update next week that will add a cool ranking system and maps. Epic has supplied tons of maps and good amount of DLC since it came out, which makes me happy. Overall its an awesome game and even fighting the bots in multiplayer is fun so trust me buy it.

First of all I am a big fan of the Halo series. Halo 3 is not a let down at all. I got the game on its launch day and still play it to this day. The guns are fun to use and it has great graphics. Also, with the right surround sound the games audio is great too. The single player is fun to play and is also nice that they let you system link, online co-op up to four players too. Multiplayer is also fun to do too. I love having halo parties at my house and playing with friends and family members. The online is fun to play too. Two issues I do have with online is the gernades do way too much damage and the distance you can beat someone down from is ridiculious at times. Overall it is a fantastic game and should be in your collection.
What's great about it: Story, Gameplay
What's not so great: Some things in multiplayer can be annoying
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.

I truely do not see why people rave about this game so much I think it is very boring. Trust me I like GTA I am not a peson against it, but this game is not to fun. First of all the story is very boring and has no appeal, I found myself skipping the cutscenes after I got tired of it. Also, the begining is a way to lose gamers, because all you do is drive people around you don't even get a gun! Plus, to run tapping A is very annoying. Next, controling the cars is bad enough its a pain. Another thing I don't understand is why people talk about the graphics the character models look horrible, the only good looking stuff would be the city. Finally the health system and missions are poorly done. The missions are boring and the finding stands to gain health are a pain to find. Sad to say GTA4 is just flat out bad, if you want an fun open world game check out the Saints Row series you will find more fun in those games.

This game looks great in high defintion and sounds good too. However, its too much like world war games which in my opinion has been over done. I really like how COD4 changed it up and made it more modern and this game just put it back to all the others. The gameplay is still pretty good though and the controls are good too. Online play is good too, but its just to repetative which is why I did not enjoy the game as much.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Tired of the old world war kind of games

I got this headset when I bought my console and it was a good headset. I never had any voice issues and it was easy to use. The cord was a bit annoying at times thought. One day I got mad at a game and threw it and it broke so I decide to buy the wireless one. The twenty dollar price is good on it though.
What's great about it: Comes with system or only twenty dollars
