Battlefield: Bad Company Gold Edition

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i really wanted to like this game more, but something about the gameplay didn't do it for me.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't really make the game terribly difficult, it just makes it a bit boring.
from www.amazon.com
when i first got this game i thought it was going to be just a decent game but it turns out the realism of total destruction of the world around you is really good.
from www.amazon.com
this game is a real fun game try it you might like it.
from www.amazon.com
i realize that war games aren't supposed to be wacky good-times, but the commercials made it sound like humor was going to be more a part of the game than it was.

it's a real time strategy game with amazing, elaborate graphics.

the soundtrack really helps with the game system and you will be glad to heard it
from www.amazon.com
it's really a shame that game reviewers have started reviewing japanese rpgs from the perspective of mainstream american gamers recently.
from www.amazon.com

THQ, Inc. Red Faction Guerilla - Complete package

$48.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
you actually feel like it's a real challange.
from www.amazon.com
it's this level of destruction that drives the main hook of red faction but it also comes with its issues as well which makes this a fun romp but not really anything substantial.

Gears of War 2

$35.00 Est. at Amazon

from Gerry from Laurel, MS, www.circuitcity.com
it seemed a bit short, but i really enjoyed the intensity of game play.
from chino from georgia, www.circuitcity.com
this is really the best game i have ever palyed.
from customer from Dupage County, IL, www.circuitcity.com
although, they did change the matchmaking which takes longer (because there are no longer hosts) and is dissapointing, but many people fail to realize that the connection is a million times better
from www.amazon.com
i don't play, but i watched, and the game looks so real it's amazing what the graphics have come around to.
from Sergey, www.newegg.com
the physics are much more believable now, there are even realistically modeled bullet paths unlike the cartoony drawings in the first game.

Resident Evil 5

$46.00 Est. at Amazon

from t13monkeys, www.shopping.com
review: i’d hate to beat down one of my favorite horror-video game series ever- but re5 is really just re4 with a new visual makeover and the much desired co-op mode.?
from www.amazon.com
the game has some minor issues, but overall it is a really fun and rewarding gaming experience.
from www.amazon.com
it was hard to make an introduction because frankly, im not really sure if there was a story to this game.
from www.amazon.com
everybody let on like you could play this game like it was gears of war [which was inspired in part by re4]but it realy doesn't work well with the overall control layout.
from www.amazon.com
the game could be a little longer but i mean, when you are playing through it multiple times it really doesn't matter.

VIVA Piata Trouble in PARADISE

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from all4jcvette, www.newegg.com
the whole family just loves this games cons: you really don't know when the game has reached it's max level.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: despite being really deep, the game is very family friendly and children could enjoy it as well.
from www.amazon.com
is it really necessary to have a new faceplate for your xbox 360?
from www.amazon.com
it gives a fun contemporary feel to the 360 and really does look like actual wood.
from www.amazon.com
it's not something i needed, and making my xbox match the rest of my electronics like my black tv and black reciever wasn't really worth 20 bucks.

Race Driver GRID

$29.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
caution: this game is realistic and takes a little getting used to!
from www.amazon.com
but if you give it a month or so of getting use to it, it's really fun.
from www.amazon.com
at the end of each season you will have a chance to race in lemans, it's really hard but the good thing is that you can skip it and jump to the next season.
from www.amazon.com
if you are looking for a more realistic racing game with more than the standard races, this is for you!
from www.amazon.com
the cars all look great, the tracks look amazing, and the game really gives a feeling that you have a race team.

UFC 2009 Undisputed

$69.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this was obviously a very hard game to make because it's based on real fighting technique's and has to be grounded in reality.
from www.amazon.com
but i suppose that makes it more realistic, since i'm pretty unlikely to get in the octagon in real life...
from www.amazon.com
the game lacks if you really pay attention but for fans of the ufc or fighting games its a good buy much better than any raw vs smackdown game.
from www.amazon.com
regardless of that fact, ufc undisputed 2009 is so realistic and engaging; i have found myself playing it for hours on end.
from www.amazon.com
you really have to work your skills and strategy to get ahead in this game and doing so is extremely rewarding and give you a sense of elation with every victory.

from www.amazon.com
this might be surprising to someone new to the franchise but it works really well in the game.
from www.amazon.com
i only noticed very minor texture pop ins and the occasional framerate dips but really i'm being nitpicky here, ut3 looks and plays fantastic, near perfection for it's style of gameplay and probably
from www.amazon.com
it's a double edged sword really.
from www.amazon.com
it's fun but it's not where the real action in ut3 is, which is online multiplayer playing against real thinking people.

Brothers in Arms: Hell''s Highway

$26.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i've spent the whole weekend playing this game and i'm amazed at the vastness and realism it brings to the table.
from www.amazon.com
this game has to be one of the most intense shooters i've ever played, mainly because it's so realistic and graphic.
from www.amazon.com
the single player campaign is incredibly short, i was able to finish it in 3 days time, and i really only played for 2-3 hours per day.
from www.amazon.com
noone really plays it, only two servers came up when i searched, both with 4 or less people.
from www.amazon.com
i will admit that run and gun is fun for a while, but realism is what makes a tactical shooter game, especially a wwii-based game, more appealing to me.

Guitar Hero Metallica

$67.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
there are also many more neat little surprises in the game, for example, being able to give your character a variety of different metallica shirts (many of which i own in real life).
from www.amazon.com
personally i feel this game really is a 4 star game, but seeing other idiots have chosen to rate this game with 1 star...
from www.amazon.com
i'm not really into their newer stuff, but their older stuff is great, and luckily this game is primarily comprised of their older music.
from www.amazon.com
really great job on this one.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't really played any career except guitar, which is ten times more fun than ghwt's guitar career.

one thing i dont really care for too much is after you grab an interception (in a 2player game) it asks what defense they thought you ran..

i bought this game for a gift so i really can't say much about how fun it is.
