Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the PlayStation 3 system. Grand Theft Auto V ships on one disc and will install content as soon as you insert the game. The install is roughly 8GB, and players will be able to play as soon as the install is complete.

Huge Map! But still limited....

Overall the game is outstanding! By far the best GTA to date 5 stars all the way! But I feel Rockstar could've done more with the little things with the game because, whether you agree with me or not, the little things in GTA are what make the game different from other sandbox adventures. First off, why are not all planes flyable? You go to LS International and you can fly the private jet and the 747. How come you can't fly the 737?? Ok sure, how many times are you going to pick that plane but the option would be nice for whatever your reasons are (fun, getaway, etc.) It's another plane to fly in a series that BROUGHT BACK FLYING and you can only look at it! Same thing goes for TRAINS and TRAMS! Sure you can only control speed but it was always fun to hijack to get away or just hijack for fun and derail! It's a way to travel in a game where there's a lot of traveling!! You can drive a freight train for maybe 20 seconds in a mission with the view inside the cabin. I think train driving would be a great componont to add to free roam. Lastly, in a game where it's plot centers around robbery, the map should allow more access to buisnesses and buildings to rob! THAT"S THE POINT OF THE GAME ISN'T IT!? Ok you can rob the convience stores and a few other places but I'm talking about walking your character down the street and being able to walk into several building/buisnesses and being able to interact!! That being said, the game is awesome I'll recomment it to anyone! It is a HUGE improvment from GTA IV! Please rockstar send out updates to fix little things!!
What's great about it: Map size/environment
What's not so great: Too many limits in free roam

Amid the post-war boom of Hollywood's Golden Age, newly minted detective Cole Phelps is thrown headfirst into a city drowning in violence and corruption. Utilizing groundbreaking new technology that captures an actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, L.A. Noire is a violent crime thriller that blends breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience. Interrogate witnesses, search for clues and chase down suspects as you struggle to find the truth in a city where everyone has something to hide.Against an overarching plot of violence and betrayal, L.A. Noire challenges players to solve a series of self-contained cases as they work their way through the ranks of the LAPD. Each case features a distinct storyline with a beginning, middle and end, and each successfully solved case brings new challenges and leads Cole closer to the true story at the dark heart of the Los Angeles criminal underworld.

Rock Star games never let you down! In L.A. Noire you play as a detective and work through different divisions in the LAPD set in the 1940s. The game is a very long campaign mission where you will solve crimes by collecting/analyzing evidence and interviewing suspects and witnesses. The facial animation is very well done. This helps when interviewing because you can see advanced facial expression which help you determine if a suspect is telling the truth, lying or stalling, which you will have to determine. Collected evidence connects with interviewing tecniques, you cannot accuse someone of lying if you don't have the evidence to back it up. It is an open-world environment, but when on missions it mostly like going from one point to the other with less time for free roam. You can free roam at the end of each promotion, but you're restricted in things you can do like drawing weapons at will. Overall, I think free roam is much more restricted in this game as opposed to other Rock Star games. But that doesn't mean the game isn't fun. The story is excellent. Keeps you addicted and wanting to keep playing. This game is almost like a TV show in the way that it is designed. The missions are like the "episodes". The game can offer you a good challenge at times. But overall I think LA Noire is the first step in video game story telling and animation. The story mode alone takes up 3 Xbox 360 discs. A must own if you enjoy a good mix of open-world, action, story, and problem-solving! Highly recommened!
What's great about it: New step in complex video game story telling and animation.
What's not so great: Driving controls are very sensitive, and limited free roam and abilities

SynopsisFasten your seatbelt and get ready to drive like your life depends on it. Perilous mountains, arid deserts and thick forests threaten your safety at every turn as you speed through the extreme Seacrest County landscape ~ but the biggest hazard is hot on your tail. A cop chases you in reckless pursuit ~ a friend of yours until you turned away from the law. You feel the bullets from his high-power weapons shattering your glass and whizzing past your ear, but you stare at the course ahead as you twist the steering wheel and throttle ahead. It's a heart-stopping Hot Pursuit and your life's in danger at every moment. But you can't slow down now ~ freedom is just a few maneuvers away, and you have just one concern: the Need for Speed.You've raced before, but you've never been in a chase like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. This time, you can experience both the thrill of the chase and the rush of the escape all in one day as you get behind the wheel as both a cop and a law-breaking racer. All your races can be real-life competitions when you connect with your friends for online multiplayer action and compare performance and stats to up the stakes. Who will come out on top? In this Hot Pursuit, you have to prove you have the ability, guts and the Need for Speed.

Finally NFS comes out with a game that's fun again! Going back to the Hot Pursuit setting was a great idea for EA with the improved graphics and all. The controls aren't too hard at all. But what made the game for me was going back to the kind of tropical/forest race tracks again and ouf course being able to play as the cop again! The game offers a good variety of races/missions both as a racer and a cop plus open-world play for when you want to do what you want. A very good fast-paced racing game!
What's great about it: Open-world free play, great tracks, playing as the COP again!
What's not so great: No car customization, but oh well...

SynopsisLive and breathe as Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, in his enduring struggle against the powerful Templar Order.

Your mission is to defeat the corrupt tyrants there, requiring not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire Brotherhood who will rally to his side. Only by working together can the Assassins defeat their mortal enemies.Assassin's Creed Brotherhood introduces a never-before-seen multiplayer layer that allows you to choose from a wide range of unique characters, each with their own signature weapons and assassination techniques, and match your skills against other players from around the world. Experience more than 15 hours of single-player gameplay centered in the magnificent city of Rome. It's time to join the Brotherhood.

Overall, AC Brotherhood is a good game but it doesn't live up to its predecessor, AC 2. Certain gameplay tactics and missions keep the game from being enjoyable. For instance, TOO MANY undercover missions where you must remain undetected can get aggravating after a while. AC Brotherhood is a good game that doesn't disappoint, but it's just one of those games where you know it could be SO much better than it actually is...
What's great about it: Graphics, Open-world environment,

In the lawless West, nowhere is safe. Between rebellious outlaws, crooked government and of course, the zombie hordes, it seems that a frontiersman just can't catch a break. That's right ~ unrelenting legions of the undead have invaded that already-wild landscape of the Western badlands, wreaking total havoc through towns and outposts normally only plagued by rogue gunfights and robberies. Once again, that rugged former outlaw, John Marston, finds himself caught in the action and fighting for survival ~ only this time, he's not just up against the bad guys, he'll have to take down the dead guys, too.Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare propels you back to the American West with a terrifying new twist. Arm yourself with powerful new Tomahawk and Explosive Rifle, venture into the graveyard and return to the role of John Marston as he faces dangerous, decaying enemies from four grotesque zombie classes and even undead and mythological animals. The corpse-conquering mayhem is monstrously intense in online multiplayer action that teams you up with or pits you against friends in Land Grab and Stronghold modes, as well as a variety of challenges, including Poker, Liar's Dice and Horse Racing. Play as your favorite iconic characters from Red Dead Revolver or as the legends from Red Dead Redemption. You may have tamed the Wild West before, but can you put the walking dead to rest?

I definite download if you are a hugh Red Dead Redemption fan like I am! An infectious disease has broken out across New Austin where the dead are rising and feeding on the living turning most of the population across the land into ZOMBIES!!! It's great because our good friend John Marston is back so we don't have to play as his whimpy kid anymore! It's a whole new storyline with new achievments and a few new weapons including a torch. The story takes you all across the land where you'll encounter zombies as well as survivors and cleanse and defend your favorite towns against them. It seems like every other game recently is just zombies, zombies, zombies... and they get boring after awhile. But trust me, this one is fun! So again, Red Dead Redemption fan... Download it!! 800 MS points I think??? Also there's one that includes Liars & Cheats and Legends & Heroes with it too for 1600... good add-ons to have!!!
What's great about it: Great alternate storyline, and FUN zombie gameplay!!!

I just bought this game recently and I can't get away from it! I'm a huge fan of "open world" or "sandbox" style video games and this one, for me, stands close to the top!!! I love the story taking place in the late 1400's, it's a time period not usually depicted in video games and the graphic design and gameplay really give you a great and realistic feel of Italy in that time period. The storyline is excellent, great characters, beautifully written with emotional intensity. Of course combat variety really gives the game a powerful edge. And the abilty to free run and explore makes the game more accessable because you don't have to follow the story everytime you play, you can do side mission or explore the land... up to you!!! Overall, excellent game! 5 stars all the way!!! Can't wait for the next one coming soon!!! Highly recommended!

Just bought a PS3 not too long ago mainly because I wanted to play this game. I played MLB 2K10 on Xbox 360 which I also liked after 2K Spots failed miserably with 2K9. Overall MLB 2K10 is a greatly improved but it doesn't even match up to MLB 10 The Show. Of course, gameplay and graphics are always the biggest things between two rival games, but for me it's the little things that I see that The Show does, for instance, more realistic franchise gameplay, more ballparks including spring training, grey away pants for alternate uniforms (2K doesn't do, drives me crazy), and realistic player action/reactions example: player high fives and after game celebrations. MLB 10 The Show beats MLB 2K10 in every category except for one... in detail! MLB 10 The Show adds tremendous detail that makes the game feel REAL!!! That one category by the way is "catchers gear". The future MLB 11 The Show needs to fix the graphics for catchers equipment as well as being able to customize the masks and protective gear. MLB 2K10 has more "realistic" looking catchers". Overall the Show is the Best basball game out there!!!
What's great about it: Gameplay, Graphics... Realism!!!
What's not so great: Little Improvments always needed...

If you enjoyed Fallout 3, then you'll love Fallout: New Vegas. You don't have to learn Fallout all over again because it sticks to the same controls and concepts, they just added stuff that makes the game more enjoyable! Just a side note... huge geckos that you'll occasionally run into in the desert that attack you are awesome! Unfortunately there are graphic bugs and glitches more so than Fallout 3. But hey, they'll probably be fixed wih future updates. If you want a nice long challenging game with lots of exploration, BUY IT!!!
What's great about it: Great storyline, many quests, Mojave Desert exploration, new weapons/customization, improved aiming
What's not so great: Bugs, graphic/control glitches, occasional freezing

First of all if your reading this, please remember that Rock Band games require atleast one mircophone to play, headsets are not an option for Xbox 360. Buying the whole Rock Band kit, if you don't already own it, would be the the best option to get the full effect of the game. I already own the Beatles Rock Band drums, guitar, etc so it's fully compatible with all Rock Band games and I'm pretty sure if you have the Guitar Hero bundle, you can use that too. Okay, here's the deal with the game. It is incredibly fun if you are a Green Day fan. The singing and instrument gameplay can get very addicting and the game includes a great soundtrack. I know it's hard if your a fan because there's always that one song you love and it's not there, but I'm sure the majority are pleased with the soundtrack. Now, if your not a Green Day fan, I'm warning you to be cautious if your thinking about purchasing it. Remember, all 50 or so songs in the game are ALL Green Day, so if you don't nkow their songs very well, you may find the game frustrating at times. But overall, this is really a must own if you are a Green Day fan.
What's great about it: Great songs. Great instrument gameplay. Great vocals
What's not so great: Really designed to attract Green Day fans only....

This game has probably the most fun free roam I've ever played. It's a liitle something lie that game G.U.N. but with the GTA creators. Big open world environments, great weapons and variety of horses are a great foundation for the game. The storyline is gripping and addictive almost like an old west movie, and the side missions give the game a great addition with hunting, gang shootouts, wanted posters, duels and much more. Only a few minor irratations are no swimming and no train hijacking, but other than that, the game is worth it!
What's great about it: BEST FREE ROAM!
What's not so great: Can't swim or hijack trains

If I get the xbox 360 with the kinect it plays the kinect games but can it also play the regular xbox 360 games?
The Kinect will only "kinect specific games" but your Xbox 360 console will play any Xbox 360 games. The kinect is controller-less, it's all motion gameplay. All standard Xbox 360 (i.e. "Call of Duty" "Halo" "Madden") require a Xbox 360 controller to play...

I want to buy an Xbox360, but I have an old TV. What di I need to convert to hook it up.
You can go to any electronic store and buy and AV adapter (Yellow, White, Red) cable. Plug it in to your antenna cable on your old tv and plug you Xbox AV cables into the adapter and it should work just fine.
