In my opinion this is his best album. I have not heard the third, but it had to be hard to top an album like this. He made an album that is twice as good as his first, as well switching up subject matter. This album definitely has a more mature vibe. Songs such as "You", "Hold Up" and "Gimme Watcha Got" are some of the best songs that I have heard from him. "Help Me", "Lottery", and "Get At Ya" are also great songs, and I have not even mentioned any of the album's singles. If you want Chris at his best before the controversy, buy this album. You will enjoy it.

This is one of the best albums that I have heard in a long while. She writes, and produces all of her own songs. This gives the song a personal feeling that you can hear in her voice. She has a beautiful voice that is best reflected on songs such as "Angel", "Never" and "I Still Love You". She also has uptempo songs with infectious beats, that will almost force you to bob your head. This is a great album from a far underrated singer. Buy this album, and you will not be disappointed.

Adele released a great debut album, and looks to release many more successful albums in the future. From the first song "Daydreamer" to the Last "Hometown Glory", the entire album was put together well and you will not have to skip a single song. Her voice is definitely unique and adds a sound to the music that has not often been heard. Buy this album!
What's great about it: Lyrics, Voice,

I will start by saying that WWE Smackdown vs RAW 2009 was a funner game to play in my opinion. The character models are the best in the series yet in this installment. When you have seen Maryse in game, you will almost mistake the model for the actual person. Some aspects of the Create A Superstar Mode have been improved such as the load times, and being able to create up to 3 alternate costumes for your character. There still is not enough clothing options, and they are the same options that are about three games old. The point of creating a character is doing so in your image. Maybe the developers have not figured that out yet. Alternate threads is a good idea though. You can not change any of the superstars clothes, but you can create 3 alternate colored costumes. It is not very deep, but it at least makes for a different experience sometimes. The story designer mode is deep, but it it not very user friendly. It should be easier to use. Some people do not have the time, or patience to invest in it. The career mode is very bland, and it is very linear. You basically unlock new matches, and wrestle another match. It gets repititive very quickly. If you are looking for a deep, next to real wrestling experience, wait for future installments. It does some things good, but does just as many bad. I would say to rent, or buy later at a low price. I hope this helped. :-)
What's great about it: Graphics, Create A Superstar,
What's not so great: Career mode, Story designer,

I bought Assassin's Creed 2 on a whim having never played the first game, and I was very impressed. The free running is fun, and exhilirating. Throwing guards from the rooftops never gets old. He also moves a lot faster than Altair. The combat has been improved ten fold. The number of counter kills that he can execute is ridiculous. He has about 32 weapons to choose from. Combat is smoother now, and more often than not you will want to battle instead of running. The story is very good, as it invests in the lead character, and really lets you get to know him personally. The voice acting is good all around. The only minor problem I would say are the physics. After killing a guard, their bodies still move, and their limbs become contourted. That is a very minor hiccup though in an otherwise excellent game. BUY NOW!!!
What's great about it: Free running, combat, story, voice acting
What's not so great: Physics

Carrie has made another great album. Her voice is beautiful, and as usual it is on it's finest display here. Cowboy Casonova is a very good song. It is reminiscent of Before He Cheats. She is at her best on these uptempo songs. She also has slow songs as well. These are when she gets to flex her vocals. I have brought all 3 of her albums, and have not been disappointed yet. I would point out certain good songs, but the entire album is spectacular. BUY IT!!!

This is overall a good album, and is what it was expected to be. Jay-Z has lost some of his steam, but that is no reason to pass this album up. He picked the right songs to be singles. They are the most radio friendly probably. Songs like "On To The Next One", and "Off That" are good non singles. A couple of the songs that I have heard so far are just average, and I think he just wanted to collabarate with certain people. Also. sometimes artists curse just for the sake of it when it is not needed. That is annoying given you could not play it around your family. Overall, it is a new sound for him. If you like him, buy it. If you are not familiar with him, sample it first.

This was a pretty good movie. It had great action. It is a good recreation of a classic name. It benefits from having a lot of big name actors at one time or another. The characters were all beleivable in their personalities. The main thing wrong with it would be Channing Tatum. The guy delivers no conviction, or emotion with his lines. He just talks. There were also no extras on the DVD i got which sucked. If you can stand that, this is a definite buy for your collection.
What's great about it: Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Action

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past.

In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

I will say first that this is a suitable next-gen version of GTA. That does not mean that is any better. In most cases, that just means it has better graphics. It is still the same old GTA, but I guess we love that. The addition of minigames, and dating add some replayability that former titles lacked. The missions are repetitive, but they tie into the storyline. Some missions are a breeze. Others will leave you scratching your head wondering why the developers put it into the game. I will say that the characters are great especially Brucie. If you loved GTA last gen buy this, as it is most of the same. If you are looking for a new GTA experience do not buy it. Rent it. DO NOT LET CHILDREN PLAY, OR WATCH THIS GAME, PLEASE.
What's great about it: Upgraded graphics, Minigames, Storyline
What's not so great: Repitition, Difficulty on certain missions

This is a really fun game to play. It is not going to redefine the survival horror genre, but it is fun. The partner A.I. is actually quite helpful. I just wish that she would not shoot enemies on the ground when I can knife, or stomp them. That is the only gripe with that. I will admit that the storyline kind of threw me at times, but if you know a bout the history of RE it will make sense. The only two that I have played extensively is RE4, and 5. It has a great deal of replay value. You can play as either character, change costumes and much more once you beat it. There is even more to unlock then. If you have played RE4 and loved it. you will love this game.
What's great about it: Graphics, Co-Op Mechanics
What's not so great: Not really scary as should be

Which is best for me?
I want one that's saves lots of data,that doesn't break as much,and it doesn't cost much.
If you are looking to store data, and have a sturdier system the Elite is a better choice, It stores 120GB of data, and has better construction from what I understand. The Arcade is $100 less, but you will have to buy a hard drive for it. When you are done, it will be around the same price as the Elite anyway. The Elite also comes with a wireless headset, and ethernet cable. You are getting those accesories, 120GB and a sturdier system for $300 before tax. You could also look into buying a preowned Elite if you do not mind that. It will cost a lot less, but it will probably not be as easy to trust as a brand new system. The choice is yours. I hope that I helped.

Does PS3 have a Pac Man game?
If so what is the name of the game.
I am not sure if there has been a retail release of Pacman unless it was part of a collection. It would most likely be found on The Playstation Network. You can google "Pacman PS3" AND that should help you in your search.

How much does a ps3 cost with taxes?
Mine was 323.39 I believe. Taxes are different in each city, and state but it should be somewhere around there. That is if you buy the 120 gb version.
