If Oblivion didn't win game of the year 10 times over, the judges were out of their minds. This was one of the most interactive and imense games I have ever played, if not the most. From the first time picking up that controller to the very end, this game keeps your attention, fascination, wits, and eye-popping eyes to the fullest ability about you the whole way. This game is like Fable The Lost Chapters x250. And thats why I'm not giving up on this title any time soon.
What's great about it: Length, Graphics, Extremely Fun, Interactive To The Max!
What's not so great: There is an ending, somewhere.

This game was lacking in almost everything I find amusing about Silent Hill. By now we should have jaw dropping graphics and should have learned that gameplay needs to be more productive and less irritating. From the start of the game to the end this game serves nothing but load after load of disappointment and failure. From the button mashing over and over again for one simple task to the fact that it doesn't hold onto you like all other Silent Hills. I almost laughed playing this, not once was I scared. And it was too short to become even remotely interesting. I would rather play an atari game then this game anyday, and thats saying something.
What's great about it: Its a Silent Hill game.
What's not so great: Terrible combat. Lacking in length and graphics.

From the beginning of star wars, up till now, it has always had a huge fan base. I would recommend this game to anyone that loves and enjoys Star Wars. Non Star Wars fans should look otherwise though. The mechanics of this game are at first amazing, but become dull. The story holds you, but does it softly. The game is fun and exciting up to the very end but the end is right around the next corner. I found this game to be one of the best star wars action games I have ever played in a long time. But to be honest, it doesn't cut it close to being a great game. One, it lacks a great story telling atmosphere. Two, it lacks on adventure and exploration qualities. And three, which in my opinion was the worse part of this game, it isn't long at all. Good for a fan, bad for a noobie. All in all, this game is fun, but it doesn't hold as long as it could have.
What's great about it: Graphics, Story, Its Star Wars.

I am a big Family Guy fan. I enjoy every single episode that comes out. I would have to say this is a great buy for any Family Guy fan or anyone who loves comedy and needs a good laugh. Family Guy pushes to the limits and sometimes pushes right over them. This 5th season is by far one of the best I would have to say. Family Guy is still hilarious and still growing. A definite buy.

Forget about Gears of War, and all those other "great games". Its all right here in Bioshock. This game is truly, truly amazing. The graphics, the sound, everything about Bioshock is perfect. Its not just your every day shooter. It adds a twist with having different upgrades and using the plasmids against your enemies which brings in so many different strategies. If I could, I would rate this a 100. But, if your a serious Xbox 360 gamer, this is the game to buy.
