Disturbed is really good, one of their best CD's they have released. But in my mind the song Torn and Divide arent that great. But the others i love. Their songs are stuck in my head every day when im out doing things.
What's great about it: Great Cover, Good songs, Lyrics are good.

Soul Calibur 4 is back and better than ever. I must say that this is one of the better fighting games out there that u will want to play with ur friends a lot.
I've unlocked everything in about a day but the online is fun since the ranking system (even though u dont really unlock anything for ranking up) You will like the graphics since they are pretty amazing for a fighting game. Just some characters are a bit to cheap and the game can get boring at times.
Overall its worth a buy if u really like fighting games, or if u want to try a fighting game for once. But only a rental if ur harsh! :)
What's great about it: Great variety of Characters, Cool finishers, Graphics, Arenas, Customizable characters, Great unlockables
What's not so great: All story modes are 5 fights.

EA has yet again another hit this time taking the place of Faith in the game Mirrors Edge.
Faith being a runner (someone who delivers messages) gets chased by blue suits as they call them if i remember correctly.
Fun game its fast paced. Kind of made me dizzy here and there but u will want this game bad. It is by far a great game its just simply beautiful and i dont think any game will ever be able to pass the innovative creativity. Simply put...Buy the game u won't regret it!
What's great about it: Graphics, story, Innovative FPS, Running is actually fun!

Me and my friend bought this game when it came out because we thought it would be good but turns out it wasnt that good at all!
The story is cool since ur darth vaders apprentice and thats sweet. But they could have done so much more with the game. It just seems like its over way to fast and it seems that the developers were bragging about nothing even though they had 1 hour specials on the G4. I think the music was good though overall but the game just felt to clunky and didnt respond the way that it should
What's great about it: Cool Concept of a story, Darth Vader is always cool, force powers!
What's not so great: 6 hours long, enemies are to tough, Controls are bad.

I Bought Gears of War 2 on friday the day that it came out. I have not let go of that game since it was simply the most impressive game i have ever played.
The story takes place 6 months later following Marcus and Dom to find Dom's wife Maria while trying to stop the war between humans and locusts. Story = FANTASTIC! theres so many good plot points and the game will want u begging for more.
Multiplayer - One aspect alone....horde mode. That is the most significantly fun thing in Gears of War 2 in my opinion. Once u get done beating the story like 12412412412 times then u can have fun and chill with friends playing horde mode its really great.
All in all i think they should have made this game more than 60$ cause its so freaking epic! Best game ive played in years.
What's great about it: Graphics, Story, Multiplayer, EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: Wish there was more Horde Mode Waves.
