I really really like this game. Definitly in my top 2 of best games for PS3 and i will tell you why. First, driving in the cockpit of the car with a Logitech GT Force feedback steering wheel with the gas pedals is so unreal, you really feel like your in the car racing, I can feel my heart rate go up as soon as the start light starts changing. The sound is incredible as are the graphics. Saturdays and Sundays I turn the volume way up with the 7.1 surround sound and its just rediculous how good it sounds it really adds so much to the intensity. Graphics are surreal and i feel they did a masterful job with everything except for the pointlees helicopter that flies in a circle after races(jeez i know i gotta find something to complain about). But seriously the edges are very smooth and the tires actually look like they are on the asphalt. I can go on all day so ill skip to the bottom line. BOTTOM LINE: This is by far one of the best games so far for the ps3(top 3 easily), Intensity is greatly increased with the Logitech GT Force Steering Wheel and Pedals, seemless internet play(when i say seemless i mean flawless and my connection is bad most of the time), great graphics, loads of fun and I highly highly highly reccommend this game. Its one of those game you can spend $400 dollars on between the steering wheel $150, the game $60, and the steering wheel stand $150(all this if you really want to immerse).
What's great about it: I have never felt like I was actually in a car racing until this game!
What's not so great: Playstations fault, sometimes screen gets a little jerky cause of graphics.

Im not quite sure went wrong with this game, its very repetitive and the way the missions are laid out seems as though the effort wasn't there. The graphics are average and the story line is as bad as the movie Mid Summer Murders. I figured since the actual game wasnt great I would give online play a shot. After trying to join games a few times the game could not find ANY servers which was puzzling so i created my own game. You can choose from something along the lines of death match and a search and destroy mission as well as a few other type of missions. Everything goes smooth to this point then people start joining my match very quickly and after about 15 minutes of fighting poof you have been disconnected.(I know for a fact its not my connection because all other games run like the wind flowing over a Boeing 747). At least I got enough time to review the online play which I must say was very primitive. Controls are weak, switching weapons requires using R2 then the analog stick to select the weapons which in my opinion should always be one step not two or three for that matter. Bottom line is this is a rent don't buy game where gameplay is primitive and the game servers are garbage(for whatever reason). Somebody please take this game which had potential and give it to Infinity Ward which might be able to save it in the sequel which they gloriously did with Call of Duty!!!
What's great about it: It had the right idea...
What's not so great: They gave the right idea to the wrong people.

Ill start off with the soundtrack, I particularly like drum and bass and this games soundtracks are all drum and bass and they don't repeat too often. The SFX are decent but pretty generic. The graphics are rediculoso. Lots and lots of different types of races. 4 different worlds Air Gap, Water World, Fire World, and Earth world with each world having at least 15 races in it. Not sure how many different cars there are but at least 15 as well. Bottom Line: MSPR is a great pick up and play game which offers fun for multiple players including online play or split screen. But as with most racing games they can get boring.
What's great about it: Graphics are insanely good
What's not so great: As with all racing games including GT5 it can get boring.

SynopsisIn the year 2012, the era of the nation-state is drawing to a close. The nations of the future increasingly have turned to private military companies, also known as PMCs, to aid in their defense. These elite mercenaries provide clear benefits to the nations that engage them, but they also tend to take a rather lax view of the law. Even so, the Reykjavik Accords have authorized the PMCs' right to serve in every aspect of military operations. As the PMCs' role is further legitimized and their influence grows, concerns have begun to mount. Have the PMCs been granted too much power? And, if so, what will the consequences be for the world?Tom Clancy's HAWX puts you in the pilot's seat for revolutionary aerial combat action in an all-too-realistic world of the near-future. Engage in intense high-altitude warfare, complete with cutting-edge technology and devastating firepower. Become an elite pilot of the future through use of the game's unique Enhanced Reality System, which provides a incredibly realistic flight experience, including radars and incoming missile detection, weapons trajectory control, an anti-crash system and more. Take the throttle of more than 50 authentic aircraft as you prove your skills in dogfights over war-scarred modern landscapes. In HAWX, you're at the controls for stunningly rendered air combat.

Ill start with flight characteristics. You cannot fly slower than 500knots in any plane and when you go from 500 to say 2000 there is absolutely no difference in flight except that its a little harder to turn. When you go 2000 it still seems your are going 500. Dog fighting is non existent as you cannot really even see the other planes unless your really close, even then it seems like a UFO. Unlimited missiles? Give me a break thats so arcadeish! There is 0 sense of realism in this game and it reminds me of a game I played for xbox back in 2000. basically the same exact game but with a little better graphics. Its really hard to explain all the things that are terrible about this game. Bottom line is if you like flying around shooting repetitive targets, puzzling nme formations that would never work on a battle field, and never being able to takeoff or land this game is for you. For ppl who want true simulation pass on this game as it is like every other terrible jet game you have ever bought for PS1 and PS2 and all the other consoles. Trust me, this game is just there for the company to make a quick buck of Clancys name!
What's great about it: Lots of planes
What's not so great: Horrible flight characteristics!

I would have never gotten to where I need to go had it not been for this GPS. First time I put 100% trust in the GPS. The GPS had no problem in miami figuring my current position but after my trip ended in Tampa i was ready to go home and was looking for a button just to reverse the directions to get back home. It didnt have one but i dont think any of them do. They really need to add that feature. Anyways, i was ready to go, entered my address and waited and waited for this thing to calculate where i was. I had to drive about 2 miles oblivious to where i was going hoping it would figure it out where it was. It eventually did after about 10 minutes wandering aimlessly. It eventually got me exactly where i needed to be to get home but after further review and 20 mins on google maps i found out the GPS actually had taken my about 20-30 mins out of the way. It got me where i needed to go albeit not the fastest way. Maybe it was avoiding something i dont know about but never the less im home and safe.
What's great about it: Ease of use, nice size display, battery life is average.
What's not so great: Hard time calculating my position, no button to reverse directions.

Graphics good, story line is good, 2 player co-op is great, but the controls were extremely frustrating and the game jumps into a boss from the very beginning when you have no clue about any of the controls. My girlfriend wanted to quit she was so frustrated. Eventually we beat the first level but we were too annoyed to continue so we turned it off for another time. I guess it could be fun once you get used to everything because it is thick in the story line so you can immerse yourself in the world of Spyro.
What's great about it: 2 player co-op!
What's not so great: Funky controls!

Interface in game is very easy to navigate and you dont have to beat anything to play the other games. Not much to say about this game, it is what it is. It gets boring quick. PLaying with a friend of mine this is kind of how the game play goes... I throw a dart you throw a dart both miss taget, i throw a dart and miss he throws a dart and misses(first to 15 wins), this can go on and on until your like screw it next game. Then you go to next game, play that and the same thing until youve played all the games in about 30 mins. Bottom line is there is abosultely no substance to this game that would make me wanna play it again.
What's great about it: 11 games
What's not so great: 11 games that get old quick

I am not sure if it is the drivers or the unit, but it will occasionally cut out in a game. For the first month or so, it had no problems. I am not sure if it is the drivers, Windows 8.1 or what. Time will tell.

If they could just figure out why it cuts for about a second about 5% of the total time you wear them that would be great. It is annoying but not a deal killer.

what do i do when game disks are ejecting on their own?
If they are ejecting on their own you will need to send your Wii to Nintendo for repair. This is of course only if you've tried everything else. eg: update software get a DVD disk cleaner from radio shack or something (this is to clean the optics on the inside that read your games). If you have tried that to no avail its time to send it in. Hope this helps.

Please explain Garmin features?
For Garmin with 4.3 inch screens & no bluetooth or traffic features, the only difference shown in the specs is the price. From $200 to $600. What is the difference in features?
Maybe a higher resolution screen, out of country maps, or voice recognition. I recently used a Garmin Nuvi 200 series model(maybe $200) on a trip from Miami to Tampa and it did everything i could possibly ask for. Screen looked great, volume can be set loud enough that you can hear it with the windows down. In a nutshell if your traveling through the USA you would be fine getting anywhere with a simple cheap one.
