it's a good game that captures the feel of skateboarding but get the second one because it is the same game but all of the bad things of the 1st skate are gone and good things are added
What's great about it: you can skate up a spot and actually TRY the tricks instead of mashing buttons
What's not so great: bad online play
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

innovative, fun game at first, does get old though

I played this game until there was nothing to do but kill pigeons, then I got bored, and moved on with other games. Worth playing, but don't expect the endless kind of entertainment that comes from Halo 3 or COD
What's great about it: environment, story line, being able to jump out helicopters and do all that kind of stuff
What's not so great: gameplay gets old after a while, online sucks

i bought this game for 35 dollars because all of my friends were buying it, and after playing halo 3 for nearly a year i forgot all about it after my 3rd multiplayer match. this is the best multiplayer game for the 360 and i have had GTA IV, Halo 3, Gears 2, Bad Company, but this game beats all by a longshot
What's great about it: the best game ever
What's not so great: guns are ok, some campaign on veteran difficulty is like impossible

What type of xbox 360 does he need?

My son has a PS2 and loves it! Now he wants an xbox 360 because it has more games. We're looking at the $199 console and the $299 console. What is the difference? He will not be playing "online" games or downloading anything. What about memory sticks -- does he need those? What is the red ring of death? He does leave his PS2 on (turns tv off), so that it will save his place on the games. Should I be watching for special deals since it is close to Christmas? I'm just really stupid when it comes to video games.
the $299 version comes with a 20GB Hard Drive, which is required to save games. If you bought the $199 version, you would have to buy a 512MB memory stick for $50 at the least to save the games, and then if you have a HDTV, you would have to purchase separate cables to get the full experience. The $299 version comes with HD cables and the Hard Drive. Microsoft just lowered their consoles down by $50, so I don't think there will be any deals. If you leave the 360 on for a while, it can get really hot and have a small chance of getting the red ring of death, but if this happens you can send your xbox 360 to microsoft for free repairs.

What do I need to get for an Xbox 360?

I'm thinking of getting a 360 (Arcade), but if I do, what else would I need to get? I know that I would need a Hard Drive, but is there anything else needed, like any extra cables?
No unless you want to get component/HDMI cables to connect to a HDTV. If you would buy an Xbox 360 Arcade, Hard Drive, and component or HDMI cables, the price would probably be the same as of a Xbox 360 Pro. The pro also has a HDMI output, and a more attractive, chrome disc drive.
