If you haven't heard much of bioshock, it is a very great game. The story can be a little confusing at first, but give some time. It's a fantastic shooter that thrills. May look like a horror type game, but it isn't that bad, unless your a whoose. Fantastic graphics, but does not have an online multiplayer. IF your jacked with money, deffentally buy this game, but since it has no online, check if a friend has the game. If you can borrow it and save some money, good for you. The gameplay takes a couple weeks to get through, so it's deffentilly worth the money, and you'll probably want to play the game again, and tie in loose peices that you may have missed because the story has more than one ending.
What's great about it: graphics, story, fun of playing
What's not so great: your not the guy on the front cover

Halo 3 is spectacular game if you are looking to purchase it. The story is fantastic with great graphics, although it is somewhat repetitave. You can play co-op with two people on one console, or four people on two or more consoles. Multiplayer is still the same, with added maps, guns, and ranks. It also comes with a sick forge mode where you can add or take away many parts of the level and replace it with new objects and guns. There is a theater where you can watch your recent campaign performances, as well as the online ones. Take pictures and tape videos to save and share with your friends. The best can be put on Bungie's Favorites board. Overall, the gae is four and a half stars, but not the five because of the repeating in the campaign. Everything else is a solid five out of five.
What's great about it: graphics, multiplayer, co-op, new guns
What's not so great: repetitave, some new guns are stupid

If you are looking for a great collection to add to your WII games, this is deffantely one of them. If you loved the Zelda before, you should look at your face when you will be playing this. The whole story is great, but it takes a while to get into the real action. There are some repetitive parts in temples, etc. but overall it is great fun to play. The controls are suprisingly easy, so get ready to weild your sword and slice up monsters.
What's great about it: Graphics, story, controls aren't hard
What's not so great: no wi-fi, story is a slow in the beggining

Gears of War, or what has come to be known as Gears, is an awsome game with cool weaponry, and some sick campaign. The multiplayer is also great but can get boring after a while. Since the second one doesn't come out for a while, i reccomend you buy it sometime soon to know what you are doing when the jam-packed Gears2 is released.
What's great about it: graphics, multiplayer, story
What's not so great: just a phase of a game you will go through

This shooter has it all. A sick campaign with great twists, and awsome online multiplayer. The ranking is sweet. There is 4-player co-op on xbl and 2 player co-op if you are playing on the same consol. There is also terrorist hunt, which consists of you and your friends going around levels just to eleminate every terrorist in the building, like you are the SWAT team. solid game, but the graphics are a little low-tech for what they have out now like assassin's creed, and call of duty 4. If you love the clancy series, i suggest waiting on buying this game until the second one comes out, in march or April, hopefully. It will probably get pushed back, though, so if you have extra money buy this game

If you are looking for an exceptional skating game, you've found it. You flick the control stick to flick your board, like in real life. It takes a while to get used to it, but it is awsome once your good. Online is great, but sometimes a little laggy. You can upload picturees and videos to skate. Reel which then can post your video on the top vid. section. Awsome game, highly recommended
What's great about it: great and long storyline, great graphics, break some bones, sick ramps, xbox live
What's not so great: sometimes laggy, a little hard at the end
