The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

I Can't, I can't Put it down. 60 Hours In, I'm still going and I just can't Stop. OBLIVION is everything everybody says

The 1st time you're walking along a grassy hill, and Deer suddenly run past you....you'll be hooked. I already have 60 hours into this game, and there still are CITIES that I haven't even been to. The GRAPHICS are ... Read Full Review

Gun

Great Story, Good Voice Acting, Simplistic Gameplay, and Fair Graphics make this GTA Western. Now, where's my HORSE?

I'll admit it. Even though this game was pretty easy. (You wouldn't think twice about just blazing into a bunch of bad guys in a rip roaring Shoot 'em up) It was however enjoyable. There was a really good story wi... Read Full Review

Gears of War

Fantastic Visuals and the best "USE COVER before SHOOTING" system out there makes Gears of War a Must Own.

I had to admit that I was a little bummed that the great commercial where our hero dives into an old building, only to be met by a Giant Corpser coming out of the darkness....didn't actually happen in the game. Oh Well, ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 3

Immersive. Fantastic Visuals and a game that rivals GEARS of WAR for Intensity. Now, how do I shut off those Cut Scenes

Again, the closest thing to war that you'd ever want to experience. Enemies don't just pop out of a certain spot every few seconds....they'll move to flank you, maybe even get a few friends to rush your position. Graphi... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One

High Hopes at the Start with a very good opening mission, only to be let down later. I hope the 360 version is better

This game opens up with some great visuals and intensity. At this point I was really expecting a lot. By the time the game continued it's downward trend in Storytelling, action, excitement and visuals...I found myself ... Read Full Review

BioShock

FANTASTIC, INCREDIBLE, IMMERSIVE, SPINE TINGLING, & every other adjective you can think of. Could be the Best Game

I know, pretty bold claim. I've been playing Video Games since back in the late 70's.....and BIOSHOCK is becoming the best game I've ever played. I haven't even finished it yet, and I can't stop thinking about it. The ... Read Full Review

Kameo: Elements of Power

Fantastic Visuals, Huge Landscapes, and Decent Musical Score. KAMEO is a lot better than I thought it would be.

I've never been one to really get into "Platform" style games, but KAMEO has turned me around. I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this game as much as I did. I thought it would be shorter. I thought it would be very l... Read Full Review

Far Cry Instincts

There's a new 1st PERSON SHOOTER in town, and the boys at Bungie should turn and take notice. FAR CRY is exceptional

Far Car is easily one of the BEST LOOKING GAMES on the XBOX system. The WATER, FOREST, and SMOKE that fills up every screen is intensely beautiful to look at, wade in, and hide behind. Another noticeable upgrade is t... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Who are we kidding! The "Hot Coffee" Mod doesn't make this an "AO" Game. It was already there. Huge Game, Great Story

I'm amazed at the ESRB's "few" ratings on games. How can a game like "HALO and HALO 2" be an "M" Rated game with nothing more than Alien Blood in it, be in the same category as GTA and Leisure Suit Larry? The language... Read Full Review

Jade Empire: Hisui no Teikoku

Best RPG to date for the XBOX. Think KOTOR, only with better graphics, storyline, music and voice acting.

One of the great things about JADE is that you don't have any "preconceived" ideas about how the story "should be." Everything in regards to the storyline is not familiar. From the same company that brought us KOTOR,... Read Full Review

DOOM 3

Anyone who gives this game a "less than stellar" review....has bumped their head. "No" STORY, but great GAMEPLAY

I've tried to watch Hollywood's Scary movies in theatres and at home for over 20 years now, and most of them are just 90 minutes of boring garbage. You rarely jump, and never do you get that sense of "Creepiness" where ... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Could have used more Spine Tingling Moments, but overall, CDO is a good and different gaming experience for the XBOX 360

There were times in this game when the shivers became overwhelming, unfortunately, I WANTED MORE OF THOSE TIMES. The Good Points: Everything's Dark, and you're constantly bumping into Buckets, Bottles and Locker Doo... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Great Graphics, a Few Twists and more Toys make another pretty enjoyable ride. SOLO MODE ONLY REVIEW.

Note: All my reviews come from the SOLO PLAYER standpoint, as I very seldom take on "real people" on XBOX LIVE. SCCT is more of the same, only upgraded. Graphics have improved tremendously, and the new moves makes T... Read Full Review

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

The Graphics, The Storyline, the Music and the Special Effects, are ALL just a little bit off of being labeled as GREAT

This is another of those games where you have incredibly HIGH HOPES, with a slight dose of letdown. The game starts off as a gripping re-enactment of WW2, as your plane full of paratroopers gets shot out of the sky. It... Read Full Review

Marble Blast Ultra

Marble Blast Ultra is a GOOD LOOKIN', CONTROLLER THROWIN,' ADDICTIVE, TURETTE'S INDUCING game for the XBOX 360 Arcade.

They lure you into an addictive trap during the Beginning Stages. Simplistic, Fun, and yet a bit challenging gameplay......filled with little PUZZLE ELEMENTS that could make each level a lot easier to finish during the ... Read Full Review

Project: Snowblind

Fantastic Experience, Great Graphics, Good Storyline. This is everything that most "Hyped Games" never seem to deliver.

It's great when you get a game that you really know nothing about, and find it a very enjoyable experience. (i.e. the 1st HALO) Project Snowblind is a dazzling display of graphics, sound and storyline. The GADGETS ... Read Full Review

The Darkness

Finally, a great story in a Dark World. Finally something as good as Chronicles of Riddick. Starbreeze is my hero

Oh My. That's what I said as this game started. The opening Sequence plays out like a movie, just like Riddick did. You watch a little, you play a little, Credits continue to roll, storyline begins to flesh out. Wh... Read Full Review

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath

Fantastic! The Graphics, the Storyline, the Gameplay. This is the game that so many other "Shooters" wishes they were.

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little hesitant picking this one up, but boy am I glad I did. This game to me is way more satisfying than the HALO 2 Single Player Mission. The GRAPHICS are incredible, fr... Read Full Review

Playboy: The Mansion

Topless Women and Virtual Sex everywhere, does not a "fun game" make. Let's hope HEF's lifestyle is more fun than this.

What was I thinking? When I first started played this game, I was bored right out of the chute. Then, I tried playing it again. Maybe I was hoping that the bevy of beauties running around topless, and the numerous cou... Read Full Review

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction

GTA War! If you can think of it, most likely you can do it in this EXCELLENT GAME that will test your mettle.

Mercenaries is one of those games that you can only play for a little bit, each time. The area you can travel and explore is huge, and riddled with enemies who are conducting nefarious activities. The same enemies that y... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

More Reading, Same Graphics, Interesting at Times, Boring during others. Yes, another 40 Hour, Mediocre Game.

Rent It, Rent It, Rent It. 15 Hours In, and this Game plays exactly like the last one. There will be somewhat interesting times when you're battling enemies, and other hours wasted walking around talking to everyone and... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

Fantastic. This is one of the few games that can make you put down HALO 2 for awhile, just to continue your storyline.

I know, it sounds crazy, but when the immortal day of HALO 2 came around, I set asside the day to play Bungie's next masterpiece. Which indeed it is, BUT, after about an hour in, I went back to the game that keeps haunt... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 2

I don't think that a VIDEO GAME PLAYER, could get any closer to a real "War Like" experience, than COD2. Fastastic!

HUGE explosions, sneaking around in a cloud of smoke, bullets wizzing past your head. Tanks taking out the WALL you're hiding behind, only to leave you dazed and lying on the ground with Blurry Vision and a deadened sen... Read Full Review

The Bard's Tale

10 Hours in, and still waiting for the side splitting humor to start. "Armed and Dangerous" is still the comedy champ.

Admittedly, as I continue to play this game...it is getting better, but I have to also admit that in the 1st hour, I was starting to doze off. I had really bought into all the hype that this was one of the funniest and ... Read Full Review

Perfect Dark Zero

Fantastic Visuals, Great Music and some pretty cool weapons does not make up for the slight lack of fun and NO story.

When I read the GAMESTOP reviews, I thought they were kidding about the CUT SCENES having really nothing to do with the game. Sadly, they weren't. I really wanted to love this game, I really did. Some of the visuals (... Read Full Review

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (Uncut)

Nudity, Cussing, Deviant Acts and more means that this "Pretty Fun" game is not your kids "M" rated HALO.

Don't let your young teenagers talk you into playing this game, just because it has the same "M" Rating as HALO and so many other "M" Rated Games.. In fact, this is more "rank" and "Foul" than those games that really do... Read Full Review

X-Men: Legends

Button Masher, YES, but can you put it down, NO. Think "Balders Gate" with X-Men Powers, and you're pretty much there.

The graphics are not the best, and the story could've been better, and yet still, I couldn't stop playing this game. The Powers keep getting better and better, and I love the fact that this RPG is not a "turn based game... Read Full Review

Second Sight

So much you can do, and Horrible Controls that never take you there.

I was really hopeful as this game started, and then I couldn't SEE if the Bad Guys were coming or not. The Camera gets jammed next to walls, and the only way you can peek around the corner to look into a Room...is to Ba... Read Full Review

Fable

Beautiful, Incredible Sound and Graphics make this a better HACK n' SLASH than Bauder's Gate type Games

Everything you do, affects this game. You may think you're doing the Townspeople a favor by killing a bunch of beetles that are attacking them, but as you do, you're gaining more EVIL POINTS than GOOD. Bust Open a Crat... Read Full Review

Burnout 3: Takedown (Platinum Hits)

Wow! 100% Better Graphics over Burnout 2

Believe the Hype. This is one of those games that you could watch SOMEBODY ELSE PLAY, and still enjoy it. This game is better then the "Fast & Furious" Movies from a Viewiers Standpoint. Multiplayer looks pretty much ... Read Full Review

Deus Ex: Invisible War

Came Back, and I'm glad I did.

Back when this game 1st came out, I Rented it for a few days and then took it back because something BIGGER and BETTER was supposed to be out. Well, in the days waiting for FABLE to come out, I gave this game another tr... Read Full Review

DRIV3R

Did people forget that games should be Fun?

Enough already with the GTA 3 comparisons. Sure you could go anywhere, and kill anybody......but was that game really that FUN? Sometimes it's nice to have things a bit more spelled out for you, as long as the music's ... Read Full Review

Galleon

It's been so long that you forgot the THINGS THAT DROVE YOU CRAZY about Tomb Raider Games. Impossible Leaps, Endless Searching and some of the worlds WORST CONTROLS. In Galleon, the Story is pretty good, but the CONTRO... Read Full Review

ESPN NFL 2K5

Great Graphics. Great Cutscenes and ESPN Effects make you truly feel like you're watching TV, not just playing on it. That is until, the announcers start talking and Stat's start showing up on screen. Like all Footbal... Read Full Review

Sudeki

This game looks and sounds fantastic. The Visuals, Music and Character voices all work great together. Sure the story is more LINEAR and not open ended like Morrowwind or KOTOR, but I kinda like that. I don't like tra... Read Full Review

Spider-Man 2

What a dramatic Change in gaming. I really was not impressed with the 1st Spiderman game, but this one is definately free roaming. You can go anywhere, just like in the Grand Theft Franchise; and you will always find p... Read Full Review

Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie

Great Story Telling. You can tell that the guy behind "BEYOND GOOD and EVIL" was involved. Spills, Chills and Fun.

After hearing and reading all of the "BEFORE XBOX 360" Release Notes on KONG, I deciided to remove my reservation because I heard the game was "So Short." Thankfully, my family didn't listen and I got this for XMAS anywa... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Pirates!

While waiting for an XBOX 360, I was hoping this could fill the VIDEO GAME GAP. Sadly, it doesn't.

At first, I thought this might be a hidden gem. The story was cute, the Ship Battles were Interesting, but after the 100th time that I Danced with some butt ugly Mayor's Daughter, I had enough. The buying and sellin... Read Full Review
