old school games

if you like playing games like pac man and other old classics that used to be in araces from that era, you will enjoy this game. i do think that pac-man and the rest are a little outdated but it does bring back memories for those who used to blow money in the arcades, a nice step back into time.
What's great about it: classics like pac-man
What's not so great: a little old and has been recreated a hundred times already

great game

this game is fun and you can unlock other characters with different abilities to play through a level with after you "unlock" it for free play. the benefit to using other characters to go through a stage is they can access areas other characters can not.
the game is fun to play, even if you are not a star wars fan. it is similar to hack and slash games but set in a lego world with lego people. as a kid i liked legos and liked building stuff which also adds to the fun factor. it is a really great game and to be honest, probably one of the most fun games on ds.
What's great about it: action packed and unloakcables

very poor game

the review that stated all you do it water plants has almost hit the nail on the head. the game is very disappointing and you do not get to play as the animals as the name suggests, you can interact with them somewhat but it isnt anything major. the game is not very fun and it is really repatative. i would recommend the game for kids to young to understand a complex game or as a first game, but for anyone who is looking for an action packed game or a neat way to play with animals you would be better to get teh ds version of viva pinata.

ea messed up another NFS game

need for speed used to be a great game franchise but since the underground series the game has forgotten what was cool and have cut out alot of customization features out of even thier console games. this game is better than the prostreet nfs game. this game isnt very much fun and they have added another lame story to the series and there are not a whole lot of options for your car. very disapointing. if you are looking for a racign game for ds i would recommend grid, it is a really good racing game.

good port of classic city building fun

from joplin, mo
if you grew up with the sim city franchise and enjoyed it you will like this game. the goal of the game is you are the mayor of a city starting out, you have to develop the city with residential, commercial and industrial zones, you also have to provide transportation systems, water lines, electric lines to provide your city with water, power and ways to travel back an fourth. as simple as it sounds it does require some thought in how to develope a prosperous city and also to what ratio to build the different zones in (ie too many houses and not enough work is bad) the game is fun if you enjoy building simulations and can be very challengind, i have alsways enjoyed the sim city franchise and it is still fun to toy with after all the years it has been around.
What's great about it: build your own city
What's not so great: graphics could be better but it is DS

a great FPS port

call of duty is an awsome FPS game that requires strategy and skill yet is really addictive and fun. call of duty is the best first person shooter franchise on the market. yea, better than HALO becuase the enemies dont run away from you or sound like little munchkins saying "hes here" "oh no, run". the game really brings realism to war and and does a pretty good job for a handheld system, definatly worth buying and it will keep you playing over and over again, even after you conquer it.

just like the show

if you like the tv show you will like the game, it is set up the same way. also the game is relativly short which makes sence considering the tv show is 30 minutes long. it makes it easy to pick up and play, also the questions can really rattle your brain. some questions are really easy and some can be really tricky. it is a good game and a good fast way to possibly learn some small trivia. it is a game that can last as little as 10 minutes which makes it convinient to play if you are limited on time and can breeze through the questions. overall a great port if you like this type of game.

Adrenaline surges, and with a burst of speed you launch yourself into the air. With a bone-crushing "WHAM" your opponent is slammed to the mat. His body flails under yours, but you've got him pinned. You grin at the knowledge of certain victory ~ and then bash him into the mat once more for good measure.WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 slams you with all the excitement and intensity of pro wrestling. With graphics so realistic you'll practically smell the fear on your opponent, you'll experience the thrill of the ring in a whole new way. An increased roster and new match types, including Steel Cage, give you plenty of ways to increase the intensity. The redesigned Season mode offers a role-playing approach that lets you interact with superstars, upgrade abilities and complete missions on a quest toward lofty goals. With WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, the ring will never be the same again.

needs work, pass this one up

this game should have been worked on more for the handheld version before release. teh controls make the game almost impossible to play, but take away from the enjoyment of the game. i personally wasnt a fan of the xbox or playstation version of 2009, but this version makes those look absolutly perfect. my opinion is to pass this game up or borrow it..if you have to buy it get it used so you can return it when you find out what everyone else has said about it.
What's great about it: wrestling
What's not so great: horrid control scheme that makes the game impossible to play

finally a descent sonic game
on May 23, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this game reminded me a bit of super mario RPG but not nearly as good. i was getting so tired of seeing sonic games, a franchise that needed to quit a long time ago but still found money to keep making poor games. this sonic game still is not great but it is a better improvement over past games. they made it into an rpg type game, so if you like rpg games along the lines of super mario brothers rpg you will like this game. you get items and you get to level up of course, the game however is controlled with the stylus for movement and it isnt a fast pased speed through rings type sonic game. it is a good twist on a dying franchise to help stabalize sonic for a few more horrible sequels.
the game is fun to play, easy to learn, and is RPG based which makes it easy to pick up and play, and easy to master. there is however alot of dialogue in the game so if you are buying it for a child who can not read, they will need assistance playing (but hey, dont let that deter you, i learned to read playing final fantasy 1 and used words in school my teacher didnt think i could possibly know, and i could spell most of them, even words like scientific, battle axe, traditional ect.) rpg games are a great way to learn spelling and reading if you have a child that can grasp on to concepts at an early age, atleast in my opinion.
anyhow, this is a descent sonic game that may keep you playing till the end with its new rpg elements and lack of redundant levels that resemble a pinball machine make it worth playing.
What's great about it: its sonic, rpg style
What's not so great: not very action packed

AWSOME CLASSIC RPG
on May 23, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
chrono trigger if you were not around for the snes era, is a classic rpg game where you play chrono, the hero of the game and travel back in forth between time, meeting new team mates, trying to prevent the world from being detroyed from lavos. the game has plenty of armor, items and weopons along with some great characters and NEW cutscnenes not in the origional game. The game also features multiple endings depending on how you play the game, actions you take and when you choose to fight the main boss. for its time the graphics were great, even in the snes era. it is a direct port with some new cutscenes and an option for a new DS style instead of the classic style i am used to seeing. the game brings back fond memories and is still a great rpg to play. in my opinion it is one of the top 10 games of all time and worth purchasing.
also new to ds cartriges, this game is one of the first to feature anti-copyright protection, meaning it locks up on the screen when you go through the time portal the first time (lucas invention) if you downloaded the game.
overall squaresoft/squareenix has always been one my all time favorite game producers due to their great storylines, inventive characters, imaginative enemies and rememorabel classics that todays games dont come close to anymore. it is a great game and is worth purchasing brand new.
What's great about it: its a classic from the SNES era remade for ds
What's not so great: not a thing, PERFECT

How do you set up windows media to your xbox 360 with windows xp software?

I am using an xbox 360 elite limited editon (resident evil 5 one), and i wanted to put media center on it.

How to I set it up with a wireless network?
To set up Windows Media Center:
If you use Windows XP, first go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup and click Setup to download the latest Windows Media Center software update to your PC running Windows Media Center.

Note
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition come pre-installed with Windows Media Center.
Connect your Xbox 360 console to your PC using one of the connection types described in "Connect to Xbox LIVE."
On your Xbox 360 console, go to My Xbox and open Windows Media Center . Follow the on-screen instructions to finish Windows Media Center setup.

Along with standard DVD remote control functions, the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote features a Windows Media Center button that lets you access a connected PC running Windows Media Center.

Xbox 360 can connect to an 802.11g or an 802.11a router with an optional wireless adapter such as the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter. Optimal performance is possible only when your Xbox 360 console connects to your network using the 802.11a standard. Other wireless devices, such as portable computers or desktop computers, connect with 802.11g.

Note
If you use wireless networking equipment that is not "Designed for Media Center Edition" (DfMCE) logo certified, you may experience poor wireless performance when you connect to PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Center.

To guarantee compatibility with current gear and to provide additional uninterrupted bandwidth for Xbox 360, replace an older 802.11g-only router with a newer, dual-band 802.11g and 802.11a router that is DfMCE certified.

Media Center Remote Control
The Xbox 360 console can be configured for use with your Media Center Remote Control. With this you can use familiar remote features to control the Windows Media Center features that are available with Xbox 360.

To use a Media Center remote control together with the Xbox 360:
Go to the My Xbox and select System Settings.
Select Console Settings.
Scroll down and select Remote Control.
Select Both Remotes.
Press Back (B) a few times to return to the Xbox Dashboard.

If the Xbox 360 console is turned off, press Start to turn it on and to start Media Center. When the system is on, you can press Start from any area of the Xbox Dashboard to jump straight to Media Center.

Note
The Media Center remote control cannot adjust the volume level for Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 Universal Remote is the best way to access the features of Media Center on the Xbox 360 system. You can control your Xbox 360 experience with an ergonomic design that includes backlit buttons, TV controls, and integrated Media Center controls.

For More Info
For detailed, Xbox 360–specific information about Windows Media Center (including everything from feature explanations to firewall troubleshooting), visit www.microsoft.com/extender.

ps3

2.0 usb flash drive. will it work on the ps3
most flash drives will work on ps3, some however you will have to format into either a ntfs or fat 32 drive (cant remember which) you can do this on your computer by plugging the device in, and going to the drive itself to view folders and click formatt ( on win xp it is on the left side bar as an option) it will however delete anything on the card. to get the ps3 to read items on it ,as an example a movie, you would go to movies on the media bar in ps3, highlight (do not push x to select the thumbdrive) the thumbdrive under movies and press triangle and select veiw all. other wise the ps3 will act like there is nothing on the drive.

i have this sprint USB thing and i dont know how to set it up to my PS3

i have it working on my laptop perfectly...just plug it in and go. but when i plug it in the ps3 it wont even show up.
the ps3 doesnt pick up some items in the usb ports (it wont detect a digital camera that i have from kodak) you may need to re-ask the question and state what the item is, what does it do. is it a phone (majic jack, vonage type device, wireless internet device (ps3 is wireless out of the box) is it a memory device of some kind) without know what the device is and does it is rather difficult to find a solution.

Is Sony going to have a price cut for ps3 like the rumors are saying

to be honest rumors of this nature have been going on for a while, i was told of a price cut in april that never happened. it is unclear at this time unless sony announces it themselves. i do know that sony takes a hit on every system they sale right now, meaning it costs more to make them than what they sale them for becuase of their own chipset they had made for the system. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon, and if it happens with-in 30 days of your ps3 purchase i know most stores will honor the new price and will provide a refund. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon unless sony becomes desperate to sell, especially since a descent blue ray player alone is running $300.00 by itself. i woudlnt count on a price cut due to that alone, if you are debating on buying one, i will tell you that overall it is worth the $400 price tag considering you dont have to buy accessories like you do with xbox 360 (wireless adapter is 99 dollars alone on 360 and ps3 is wireless right out of the box, and it comes with a rechargable controller which is another $20 on xbox and the online is free and xbox 360 is $60 a year plus you cant browse the internet like with ps3, considering all that ps3 is cheaper than xbox 360 in the long run already)

I am looking to buy an xbox for the first time and the elite seems like a pretty good deal. Is it worth $400 plus a year of live 2 games + controller

to be honest when you consider you have to buy the system, xbox live, a play and charge kit (unless you like batteries) a $99 wireless adapter you are actually paying more than you would for a more reliable ps3 which is ready to go out of the box. the only thing i purchased with my ps3 was a headset (any blue tooth headset that utilizes bluetooth 2.0 or later will work) and a controller for my fiance (and a seperate usb cable to charge it or you can get a charges that charges multiple controllers at the same time) you do get a chance to win a free game on xbox 360 called RED RING OF DEATH as well. the system reliability for xbox 360 is below standard. i myself have had a total of 4 360's, 3 of which have been since march of 2009. i woudl advise against xbox but that is just my opinion. do keep in mind im not a playstation fan boy, i just want a system that works and i got it and more with PS3
