Bioshock is an absolutely amazing and original game. The originality is unparalleled and game play is so much fun. The controls needing to use your weapons in conjunction with your plasmids for a successful attack adds to the skill of the game and strategy needed to imobilize and attack an enemy. It has a creepy setting that gives playing a whole new feel. The storyline is amazing with having to travel all overthe underwater world to come out alive. becareful with the controls you can use health capsules and energy capsules even if your at full health/energy. Buy this game you will not be sorry it is phenominal.

This game got a lot of hype and awards and deserved it completely. Just an amazing game totally blew the first away and set the standard that has lead us to COD 4. If you want to play xbox live then you really cant buy this but if you dont care and like a good single player game definetly get it it is so worth it and it really is very fun to play as different countries through a lot of tough missions.
What's great about it: amazing game

World War II changed lives, changed countries and changed history. The Normandy Breakout Campaign was the most intense and dangerous action of the entire conflict, as young soldiers from America, Britain, Canada and Poland struggled with the fear and the fatal force of the Nazi army. It was a time when the world held its breath as tyranny was confronted. Bravery was tested, tactical expertise meant the difference between life and death, and battle was often up close and personal. Bold heroes were needed as Europe fell under the shadow of death. Step back into that world, if you dare, and see how you would perform in this time of crisis. The Germans are marching toward world domination ~ will you step up and stop this assault against the free world? Will you answer the Call of Duty?Call of Duty 3: Gold Edition thrusts you into the thrilling landscape of the second World War and gives you a bonus DVD packed with features and a token for a free map pack. This latest addition to the popular Call of Duty franchise features all-new close-quarters combat, environmental physics and a host of ways for you to take down your enemies. Vivid graphics immerse you into a realistic world, where special tactics must be employed against your enemy if you expect to forge a path to victory. Intense, team-based multiplayer options offer multiple-occupancy vehicle combat, so climb aboard a tank or Jeep with your friends and team up to take down the Nazi forces once and for all.

Not above the COD average

One would expect something to greatly surpass the Game of the year Call of Duty 2, this was not the case. Call Of DUty 3 is more of an expansion of COD 2 in that everything is pretty much the same with the acception of single player cause missions are different. Online play is exactly the same and frankly lack luster. this game is not bad at all if you dont have live and want a nice single player game to work on. but if your a live gamer or want the full COD experience pass this one up get Modern Warfar
What's great about it: Singel player
What's not so great: Familiar

It is hard to find a game that is truely original. Well Gears of War is about as original as you can get with the world in chaos it is up to you and your team to kill the locust infestation. This game is awesome the single player has such a good storyline and the graphics and characters are so different from anything you may have seen. Game play is relatively easy and you can look at something that pops up and see where you have to go opposed to aimlessly wandering like in most games. On top of it all this game has amazing online play and game modes. I love this game if it wasn't for call of duty 4 this game would be the most popular game out there. with out a doubt buy thius game even if you want the new one its just that good.
What's great about it: Game play, single player, online play
What's not so great: Learning curve

Amazing game

This game was fantastic, through and through amazing. NCAA 08 is not only a blast to play because of its depth of dynasty mode but its the most durable game I have ever had. I have played it for many straight hours on many straight days and its just as good as the day i picked it up. Dynasty is as good as ever and recruting is somuch fun. The new feature, trophy room is sick you have your favorite teams logo on the floor as your best plays loop and your favorite snap shots are shown, and you can veiw all of your trophies. Be careful when saving highlighs and pictures, they take up a lot of space. I always say this but if you dont like buying the brand new game this game is perfect and 100% worth it. Overall Best NCAA game up 08 basketball or football. Buy it without even considering anything else.

not bad.....but still needs work
on July 18, 2008
Posted by: dVARSITYshiznit

Contrary to many other reviews this game is not that bad. Madden 08 is exactly what was expected madden with better graphics and more and less features than the previous edition. This games graphics are great with out a doubt and the AI is not as bad as some would say. the AI for cornerbacks and saftys is very high and they do take a lot of balls. However they do not get nearly as many if you mix it up. This game needs to be played like a team you cant run the same play six times a drive all game and get 50 catches for 650 yards it wont happen. Having said that the receivers AI is very very bad, as usual balls or catches that can be reached out for are not and they are just running through routes. If you have NCAA 08 and like drafting your players and developing them this really is a great game. The 'Train Active Team' before franchise games is great for young players to develop and decent and good players to make them great. However my biggest pet peeve is the freezing in my fourth or fifth season I kept freezing trying to load a game for no reason. I tried two separate madden 08 disks on three consoles and every time I would freeze. The freezing is not only annoying but makes you wanna stop playing the game. If your not one to spend money on the newest version of the game this is not a bad choice if you want to fool around with player and teams or play with other people. But if you like going into multi years of franchise its not really worth it once the disk starts freezing out. Overall its a good rental or a game you'll only want to play for a few months other wise its not really worth it.
What's great about it: Graphics, AI, Train Active team
What's not so great: AI, Freezing
