For the most part, this game is awesome because of many reasons. The graphics are an obvious. But the important part, the play, is also a winner...for the most part. The level play is great, but mostly easy, with a few exceptions. However, the game takes a swing when you fight a boss. It can be a challenge just to figure out what the boss' weakness is before you actually attack the specific way you need to in order to win. It is rewarding when you defeat each boss, but it's after sometime of being rather frustrated. It's a really good game other than that.
What's great about it: It's wicked fun to learn the many types of attacks + the graphics and speed
What's not so great: boss battles are so challenging, but the level play is so easy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Yes, I found this game boring. I would watch my friends play the first Halo game and wonder why they liked it so much. I never had the first XBox, so I never got around buying it. I didn't hear too much about Halo 2, but when Halo 3 came out and had all this attention with my owning a XBox 360, i thought, what the heck, why not. At first it seemed like it had potential, but then what seemed to be fund, just kept repeating itself. All you do is walk in one direction, then you turn around and head back. Every level is like that. And the same thing happens. All this flashing lights (aka, weapons) keep going off. I have no interest anymore in these dull Halo games. Now Half-Life, that's a series.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: It was soooo boring.

Dexter is a crime drama about Dexter Morgan, a man who leads a double life as an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Police Department and as an emotionless vigilante serial killer. Taught by his foster father to harness his lust for blood and killing, Dexter lives by his own strict moral code - he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice. Dexter is a killer who grapples with fitting into society while, at the same time, he struggles with his inability to feel emotion. The irony of Dexter's life is that he works closely as a blood splatter analyst with the very people who hunt his kind - the homicide departments.

This will be blunt. This show has great character depth. The twists help in wanting more. Michael Hall does a great job with his role, and so does everyone else. The ending is great. Anyone who likes thrillers will enjoy this product.
What's great about it: Original
What's not so great: Only 12 Episodes

Harrison Ford dusts off his infamous brown fedora for another Indiana Jones film, which is once again made by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. The year is 1957, and Indy is on the run from a team of Russian spies led by a rapier-wielding Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett). The Russians want Indy to help them locate an ancient artifact that they believe can be used as the ultimate military weapon. Indy manages a narrow escape, and tries to return to his life as a professor of archaeology, but he soon bumps into a '50s greaser named Mutt (Shia LeBeouf). Mutt's mother as well as one of Indy's longtime friends have been captured somewhere in Peru. Mutt and Indy hop a plane, where they manage to track down both Mutt's mother, Marian (Karen Allen), and Professor Oxley (John Hurt), but they also find themselves surrounded by the same scheming Russians. The Russians have found the artifact they were seeking, but Indy now knows it's secret and dangerous powers. With the help of Mutt, Marian, and Oxley, he races to return it to it's rightful resting place. Director Steven Spielberg Star Harrison Ford, Ray Winstone, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Special Features 2-disc set Widescreen Audio Dolby Digital English Running Time 122 minutes.

Horrible plot. Really bad acting. Completely not like the other great indy movies. CGI proves again why not it shouldn't be used. Kid actor is terrible. Monkeys?...come on now, that scene was terrible. Whole movie was simply made to make money off of the other indy movie's success. Don't watch this one, it should be considered the poster movie of good series gone bad.
What's great about it: It Ended
What's not so great: It Existed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
