If you like fallout 3 you have to purchase all the addons to the game. This game is by far the best game i have played this year. Anchorage and The Pitt are great sidequests and easy achievements. You get new perks and weapons in the expansions which keeps it interesting. If you like shooters and exploring worlds you will find yourself glued to your seat till you beat this game and all of its expansions. What you waiting for go get it?
What's great about it: Everything. It's flawless
What's not so great: Nothing. It's perfect.

Another easy achievement game.

This game is horrible other than the fact that you can attain all the achievements in less than 5 hours. I would recommend renting this one. I think the graphics are decent and the gameplay is ok. The weapons are pretty decent but overall it's a very short game and very easy.
What's great about it: Easy achievements
What's not so great: Challenge, Gameplay

This game is the worst game I have ever put into my xbox. This game is so choppy and the moves are rediculous. The cover fire is annoying. You basically have to stick your body out to shoot someone. This game isn't really a shooter. You do more jumping and falling than you will ever do shooting. Trust me if you try this out for yourself you have wasted a hard earned 60 bucks.

Best 360 Multiplayer Experience Yet
on February 4, 2008
Posted by: slmshade
Do not buy this unless you have xbox live. I started playing this game about 2 days ago and i am so hooked. The gameplay is about like counterstrike with better graphics and more characters. The weapons, magic and extra abilities you can use in this game are unbelievable. I played the training missions and gave up on it real quick till one day i had a friend invite me to a multiplayer map and once i got a real feel for the controls and weapons it was on. I played it over 12 hours just yesterday alone. This is a must for competitive gamers and is very cheap on the budget. Just buy it u will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Everything about this game is amazing
What's not so great: no campaign, but u really dont need one

I just could not get into this game. The controls and movements were a bit sluggish to me. I jumped on the Splinter Cell Double Agent wagon and all is better now. I would recommend if you like this type of game to stick with the splinter cells and rainbow six's.

Red Rings...

Lets see yesterday I turned on my xbox for like one min. and then accidently turned it off. So I turned it on again and I got 2 Red Rings. Does anyone know why this happend. I really doubt it's overheated. I play it like 3 times a week so it's not like im playing it consistently. Im not going to try the "towel trick" either because that just messes it up more. Any suggestion on what happened or any tips to make it better. Thanks!
As always in this case check to see if you have a cable unplugged and make sure your power brick is lighted up green when the xbox is on. If thats not the fix contact Microsoft. It could be hard-drive failure.

how can I fix an "unreadable disk"?

i have an xbox 360 and about 2 months ago i tried to play a game but when i put it on the disk tray and closed it, it showed a sign saying "unreadable disk" this message was displayed at the main screen of the xbox 360. i tried calling microsoft but they didnt really help me.
resurface the disk and try to play it again. If that don't work try another game to make sure it's not your disk drive. If that dont fix the problem replace the disk.

Okay, if i get an xbox 360 pro 60 gig's is this good for beginers?

I play xbox constantly and i have 95 GB left on my 120. I think 60 would be perfect for a beginner.
