This game is terrible for the typical hard-core halo fan, who in previous Halo games played competitively in playlists like MLG. I'm not so much saying this is a bad game, it's just that they ripped off a huge amount of the Halo community by turning this game into a casual, unlike previous Halo games.
What's great about it: it's decent for a non-competitive player
What's not so great: a large amount of people will refuse to play this casual and switch to medal of honor or COD
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was skeptical at first because Bioshock 2 is made by a different company than Bioshock 1, but since I loved the first one so much i decided to take the risk. It was the best decision ever. I've already played through the campaign twice, it always keeps my heart racing, it's amazing. Theres new enemies and the storyline is so easy to get into. So the single player is awesome, but how about the multiplayer? I never really imagined a game like Bioshock to have a multiplayer that would run smoothly, but they pulled it off. Except for the occasional lag, the multiplayer is great. There's leaderboard's which most shooters have which is good, so you can compare your stats to your friends and so on. The max level is 40, and as you rank up you unlock new weapons such as the nail gun which is amazing. In addition to that, the multiplayer still includes hacking and abilities that the single player has. The multiplayer is overall great, and make sure to explore all the gametype's such as civil war and capture the sister. This game is by far the best game I've ever bought and I recommend it to everyone!
What's great about it: Amazing Gamplay, even multiplayer is impressive
What's not so great: multiplayer can be slightly laggy at times
I would recommend this to a friend!

Continents erupt in flames and hails of gunfire as war breaks out on an unprecedented scale. This is World War II, where a massive conflict rages on two fronts: Europe and the South Pacific. Answer your nation's call and travel to distant lands where you'll take part in devastating battles that gripped a generation and laid the foundation for the world as we know it today. Do you have the courage, the cunning and the commitment to fulfill your duties and see the war through to its harrowing end?Prepare for global conflict presented in all its terrible grit and immediacy. In Call of Duty: World at War, you assume the role of a U.S. Marine or a Russian soldier in the waning days of the Second World War. Travel to the far reaches of the conflict, from war-plagued Berlin to the dense jungles of the Pacific theater, as you confront enemies who refuse to contemplate surrender or retreat and who fight all the more desperately ~ and more dangerously ~ knowing the end is near. Employ the weapons at your disposal, including a flamethrower and other new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, and fight to complete your mission as battles explode around you with all the terrible chaos of real war.

Hmm. Seems the same problem I had with call of duty 4 persists in COD5. The problem is that, you die instantly. Lets see, you die from 1 shot from an ordinary weapon like a rifle, long range. That's so dumb, that means, this game will just be all camping, and whoever see's the other person first gets the kill. This means its a no-skill game, and not worth paying for. I don't know how many people play with their volume up on their tv, obviously most, but your not going to want to with this game. Every few seconds their will be screeching and VERY ANNOYING mortars. You can also expect to get spawn-killed, over and over and over, another thing they didn't correct when I am sure its possible to correct, if only they would spawn you in a safe area. Another thing that's stupid about it is, theirs no more helicopter when you get 5 kills in a row, instead, you just gain the ability to release dogs, that more then half the time don't even attack anyone, they run in circles and glitch to walls. The makers of this game really embarrassed themselves with this one, don't know why people are rating it good, maybe they haven't played the beta yet. Anyways, I wouldn't recommend buying this at all, unless your just doing it for more gamer-score points rather then having fun.
What's great about it: The graphics are decent, better then most games.
What's not so great: alot of things.... listed below

I've been buying these for years now, and yes, they break after about 3 weeks. I've gotten maybe 30 of them over time, seem to have a similar lifespan. It's really apparent how cheaply made they are, as when it dies, its NEVER from physical damage, it looks like i just took it out of the box, but it just stops working at random. I don't want to buy a wireless one, but i do want one made by Microsoft- specifically for the xbox 360, so this is my only option unfortunately.....
What's great about it: Lets me talk for about 3 weeks
What's not so great: Lasts 3 weeks on average

Just an amazing software. Definitely worth the money. Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 can detect and REMOVE the toughest of malware, not just the easy stuff. It now has IPS, which categorizes known files and unknown and rates their behavior, making it drastically improve detection of brand new unknown malware. Possibly one of the best things about it is the integrated tools. Say you have malware that's removed, but it has damaged your settings, or disabled you from using Task manager, it has built in tools that removes all restrictions and damage malware may have done. It also has an AVZ tool built in, so say it missed some malware(very rare), you can contact live chat support which is free and VERY fast, and they will write you a script to remove the malware from your computer, when at the same time they are now adding protection against those newly discovered malicious files. The Antispam NEVER missmarks any mail on default settings after creating a whitelist of your friends and familys emails. Blocks all the spam, and lets in the mail that you want. And for parents this is great too, as its parental controls work perfectly on blocking my kids from you know what, and lets me view what sites it blocked them from and what it allowed. And its Firewall is fantastic, it is clearly much better then the standard windows firewall, it will block every network attack keeping you safe, and once in a while I get to see it in action blocking a Helkern attack, which my windows firewall missed completely. All in all, this is the clear choice for a security suite, I will never go near a Symantec (Norton) product again after being so blown away with this cutting edge technology security suite!
What's great about it: The best in its class at anti-malware. Kicks Nortons butt
What's not so great: Nothing at all!!

Best protection you can get! I had ESET NOD32 for a month, and realized my computer was way slower then normal. I had heard about Kaspersky, and decided to run their online scan. Sure enough, it found 18 Trojans on my laptop that NOD32 had missed. I am really impressed. So i went out and bought Kaspersky Internet Security, and completley dis infected my laptop. This is an amazing product. The only thing that might bother people about it is the little messages you get when the firewall setting is on high. If you leave it on default you'l still get very good protection without getting those temperary messages. It doesn't bother me because i know its just temperary. The hourly updates are nice too!Overall, this is the best protection you can get, I would recomend it to everyone.
What's great about it: Incredible protection
What's not so great: Not much
