Ricochet Xtreme [Game Download] Get it now!


This game isn't exactly on the cutting edge of new technology, but its a pretty decent game. If you just want a game to shoot the breeze, then this is the way to go, it gives you a brick breaker style game, just amped up a little. If you don't have any games on your pc, or little netbook, give this one a go.Get more detail about Ricochet Xtreme [Game Download].

Burnout Paradise Buy Now


I have to admit upfront, that racing games are not my first choice in gaming. I'm far more likely to take up a role playing or first person shooter option, but, I wanted to give this a chance and overall I found it to be entertaining but difficult to enter into any sense of progression to where I'd want to keep coming back for more.

My sons, who like racing games, found the experience average and didn't compare it strongly against other games that they have played.

So all I can say is that it's fun in small doses.

3 stars.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 Order Now


(This review is long-winded, but I guarantee it will serve you.)
Can't decide whether to buy Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 or Fifa 2010 on Wii? Comparing the 2010 PES and Fifa versions for Wii leaves little to argument: if you're looking for an authentic soccer experience, PES is far superior.

Read other Amazon reviews and you readily discern that Fifa has tried something new by opting for a kiddy, arcade feel. It's as if an ignoramus in Nintendo's or EA Sports' boardroom ordered the programmers to alter a tried and true formula. The result? Like altering a long-standing Thanksgiving tradition, EA has, by analogy, brought a tofu "turkey" to dinner, and long time Fifa fans will be drastically disappointed with EA's miserable product (though young gamers may like the simple play).

Aiming to please the casual Wii sports fan, EA revamped Fifa graphics, options, and gameplay--but all for the worse. Some may think the graphics an improvement as character faces are more life-like than ever, but objectively the players look much like an out of proportioned Quasimodo. As regarding the game's options, Fifa fans will be irate that, when playing a season, there is no option to change from 2 minutes halves. Fifa's game play also suffers from such unbearable new "features" as the shooting slow-mo (The game goes into slow-mo nearly every time a shot is made.) and the corner/free-kick green ball. (You might be letting in 3 free kicks per game on the higher levels.). Fifa did significantly correct one astonishing oversight from Fifa 2009: they assigned different buttons for ground and air passes, whereas last year's version only had one button for both passes, leaving the 2009 game unplayable except with the Gamecube controller. (Fifa 2009 with the GameCube controller is a far superior game than the newer version.)

How does PES compare? My ideal Wii football game is one that takes advantage of the Wii's point to the screen abilities, allows you to play accurate/realistic passes, challenges you with life-like computer AI, and allows you to develop a team/players over a season. PES 2010 on Wii excels in all these areas, and once you read the below tips to correct some of the ostensible errors, the true fan of the beautiful game will be loving PES 2010.

As with Fifa 2010, PES 2010 allows you to point to the screen to make a pass to any specific location. While both games still need to improve the accuracy of through balls and balls over the top (In both games you will occasionally find yourself passing to the feet/chest of a teammates instead of in front of the teammate.), it is much easier to intentionally play a pass in front of the receptor in PES than in Fifa. (If you cannot figure out how to make a long, air pass in PES 2010, know the instructions in the booklet are wrong: to play a long, air pass, double tap B in rapid succession.) The brilliantly refined invention in PES 2010 is the point and drag a teammate option which allows you to make off-the-balls runs in any direction. In other words, with the control stick you can run the ball handler in one direction, while pointing and dragging a teammate to make a run in completely the opposite direction. As a result, I can finally make "el Chino" David Silva cut outside with the ball and play the perfect through pass to inside cutting "el Guage" Villa who is perfectly on-side.) At first the controls, dribbling and zone marking on defense, will seem overly complicated--and perhaps not suitable to the casual gamer or gamers under age 10--but be patient, play a season, and the wonderful instructional videos will have you executing the inspired moves within a week. (For instance, for eternity, football games have only allowed you to play give-and-go passes where the "goer" runs straight down the field. Utilizing the Wii's capacities, PES 2010 allows give-and-go passes in any direction.) As for the AI, PES 2010 is really the first football game I have ever played where the computer, on the advanced settings, does not try to dribble down the center of the field, but rather plays the ball around the field: tic-y, tac-y. Regarding options, though PES lacks the licenses on some Premiership teams and does not carry second division teams in any of the European leagues, you can play a full season with Champions League, compete in just the Champions League, dispute a country cup with any major European/South American club or national team, or create your own team--even with Mii characters. PES also features a menu in multiple-languages, as well as commentary in multiple-languages: English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese. (Me gusta más el comentario en español que en inglés, con la excepción de que los comentaristas confuden los nombres de algunos jugadores. A Silva le llaman Xabi Alonso.)

The comparison is easy. Once you master PES's complex controls (Don't forget that an air-pass in double B. Also, if you find your players asininely standing still and waiting for the ball to come to them, press C, the cancel button to make receiving players run to the ball.), you will use the Wii's point and play capabilities to make more authentic runs and passes than with any other football game on any other system. PES' only drawback is a significant one: using the Wii controller and Nunchuck, you cannot play on the same team as a friend. Nevertheless, PES far outshines the pitiful Fifa 2010, and this written by someone who has purchased 7 Fifa games on different systems in his many years. Unless you are the parent of a young child looking for an easily playable game, don't waste your money on Fifa 2010 when such a better option as PES 2010 exists.Get more detail about Pro Evolution Soccer 2010.

Arcade Shooting Gallery Decide Now


The Wii is sadly lacking in arcade type shooting games, so when this was released we ordered it. Turns out it's likely targeted toward a very young audience. We did give it a chance, but for anyone over 8-10 years old it will seem very simplistic. It would have been good to have seen an age group referenced for the intended audience.

On the other hand, it is very colorful and would appeal to the younger players.Get more detail about Arcade Shooting Gallery.

Baldur's Gate 4 in 1 Boxset Right now


Baldur's Gate is an epic classic that all gamers should play at least once! This game is amazing, and while obviously digitally and graphically challenged compared to our games of today, still very much worth playing if you can get past that fact. Classic ROPG in a D&D style gaming. Seriously, this boxset is a pretty great deal so you can have all of the original collection.Get more detail about Baldur's Gate 4 in 1 Boxset.

Lowest Price Logitech Precision Gamepad


Seems to work good, however response time isn't what I thought it would be, could be my computer speed since it's kind of on the cusp of minimum performance for game playing. Also the way it detects compatible games on your pc and lists them is cool. For as much as I play games, which isn't that much, I think it's great and a super bargain at $10, and free shipping satified my cheapo inner child.Get more detail about Logitech Precision Gamepad.

Save Hasbro Family Game Night


Board games are one of the greatest family group activities of modern times. Getting the board out, finding the pieces, rembering all the rules, deciding who sits where and goes when, and finally to end up with someone quiting over a dice roll that slid off the board. Yup good times!! Just think after all that fun you get to throw most of the pieces back in the box and shove it in the corner of the closet, for another 6 months. OR YOU COULD JUST BUY FAMILY GAME NIGHT FOR 360!! Thank goodness someone from EA finally figured out buying these games seperately from Xbox live at $10 a piece was ridiculous. With Black friday, and a slow economy you should be able to pick up this game for around $20, and that is part of the reason why I rated this game so high. Not only can you play the classic games with all the rules intact and "a rule/move" assist from the game, but you can play the wildcard variations as well. Again the game shows you what moves are allowed (or not) based on the game mode your playing so there is no cheating. You can play local or over Xbox Live and your Xbox live Avatars become your representatives in the game. The number of people that can play is based on the game your playing, and there is no split screen everyone plays the same board. My wife and Kids actually play this game without me (4 players max) so you know it must be good if my wife is picking up an Xbox controller. Here is the official list/ write up.

Join your host Mr. Potato Head as you play your favorite Hasbro games including CONNECT FOUR, SCRABBLE, BATTLESHIP, YAHTZEE, BOGGLE, as well as exciting new versions created for Xbox LIVE® Arcade in Hasbro Family Game Night.

The only thing that could make this game any better is more addon games and lower Xbox live prices. I understand the game developers need to make money, so they should add more games to the title via Xbox live but limit the price to $5 a game. The only game they should make 800 points or 10 bucks is monopoly and they should totally rework that failed stand alone version to play as the current games on Family Game night works now.

Pros: Should be able to get it for $20, Games are fun and everyone in the family can play, all the other stuff I wrote earlier.

Cons: Family playing 360 takes up all your valuable first person shooter time, forcing you to watch reality TV.Get more detail about Hasbro Family Game Night.

Discount Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes


I rented and stopped playing it after about an hour. The controls and game play were simplistic and boring. It felt like I was playing the asteroids game on an old atari. Your character is really tiny on the screen and you either move the control stick to crudely aim or move to slash at enemies. Pretty shocking at how basic this game was for the 360; felt more like a really cheap demo than a full fledged game. I definitely wouldn't buy and certainly won't be renting again.

Cheapest Fear 2: Project Origin


I really enjoyed the game a lot different scenarios and buildings to enter which added to the excitement and being able to climb into a robot and use all the fire power it has was just a blast. I do agree it was a short game to play but the graphics and characters were a lot more fun to kill and some are more difficult then others to kill like the robots.Get more detail about Fear 2: Project Origin.

Cheap Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues


I feel cheated by this latest addition of Lego game. Indiana Jones 2 is not at all like it's predecessor on the PSP. The beautiful eye-popping backgrounds are missing, and in their place are lackluster ones with minimal appeal. Funny video cutting-scenes have devolved to unappealing static images with plain text to fill in the story. Other than severe visual downgrade, character animation suffer from stiffness and repetition. The game mechanics is reduced further with unresponsive control to add frustration on top of disappointment. Lastly the challenging puzzle element that made the previous title fun is absolutely nonexistent. The whole of game play is down to getting from point A to point B by solving embarrassingly easy puzzles. Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues to a failure on the PSP. Unlike the preceding Lego titles ported from PS2, this is a cheep adaptation of the DS version to conclude my review.Get more detail about Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues.

Buying Hasbro Classic Game Collection


I have old versions of Monopoly and Risk (originally for Windows 98) and I've kept them working up through XP, but it was time to upgrade. My review is a little mixed because there is A LOT missing from this version of Risk that was in my older version. There were two different ways to play the game and a lot options for different play within each game, whereas this has just one very basic version. It is fine, and it is the version closes to the board game, but I really liked some of the alternative versions better. So I'm disappointed in Risk and not playing it much.

The two versions of Monopoly, on the the other hand, are great. I really enjoy them and they have even more features than my old computer version. Plus, I like the updated Here and Now Monopoly version even better than the regular because it has new properties and more realistic prices. (Monopoly was due for an update...can't buy property for a couple thousand dollars anymore!)

While I mark it down for the fact that this version of Risk is a disappointment, I give it four stars because I really enjoy the Monopoly, and because the prices is very affordable for four classic games. (I'm not a Scrabble player so I can't really compare it to other versions.)Get more detail about Hasbro Classic Game Collection.

Where To Buy Wii Fit Workout Kit


Over-all this was a good purchase since we got it on a Video Games Deal. The mat, weights and rechargeable batteries are by far the best parts. With hardwood floors the mat comes in very handy and the rechargeable batteries are a cost saver. It would be nice if the 2 lb. weights were 5 lb. but we understand and over-all this adds nicely to our Wii fit. Get more detail about Wii Fit Workout Kit.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe


I was all hype about purchasing this game when I first heard about its arrival. I was expecting a much better display of gameplay than that which was produced. It has great graphics, interesting attacks, and realistic stages. It was too much of a rush job over all and needs alot more tweaking in my opinion. It's great to have if your collecting Mortal Kombat games, but I personally wouldn't recommend buying it.Get more detail about Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.

Madden NFL 09 Review


I've bought madden since they first came around back in the early 90s. Recent years, I commited to only buying a copy if my team wins the superbowl... and what do ya know... BOOM! Grats Steelers. Previous to that I've been playing Madden 2006 on the Wii.

From 2006 to 2009, I expected better graphics, and selection menus. This game is only a year old, and I feel that they could have gone a lot further in polishing up what they already had from the previous year. The reason I still give it a good rating is that it is still fun to play, and has that good fun factor of beating up your friends and their teams when they come over. However; if you're expecting much more from the previous year, you might want to just commit to 2010 or beyond.

Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle This instant


My daughter has been having lots of fun with Band Hero & rated it as a four star game. Once she calibrated the game to our TV, she had more fun with it. She likes the music a lot better than the music that came with her Guitar Hero game. Being a Taylor Swift fan, she says even though there's only 3 Taylor Swift songs included, it's better than none. Another feature she has fun with, is customizing her band.

Speaking from a parent's point of view, the wireless guitar, wired microphone and drums have a nice weight to them, are nicely constructed, & not flimsy. I expect them to last with normal usage. The weight of the drum pedal, along with the non-skid material on the bottom, prevent the pedal from moving around the floor. She hasn't had any problems with the cymbals moving out of position & sits on an ottoman when she plays the drums. I'd like to see a microphone stand included so she could sing and play an instrument at the same time. Get more detail about Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Super Bundle.

I purchased a DS Lite from a lightning deal and have been searching high and low for good games for my 5 year old daughter. I thought this would be cute for her because she is excited about the release of the movie. However, it is very HEAVY on the reading. If your child cannot read or is struggling with reading, DO NOT purchase this game. Thankfully, my daughter reads exceptionally well so she shouldn't have too much trouble in that area. But I am wondering if she will possibly get bored with it. Seems like there should be more game to it. I guess we shall see once Christmas arrives. I will be looking to update then.Get more detail about Princess and the Frog.

My French Coach made learning vocabulary fun. My only complaint is the minimal practice with sentence structure, and the absence of revisiting old lessons. It's too easy to learn a lesson by memorization, and then forget two lessons later.

Save Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive


This product (the 120gb xbox 360 hard drive) was a good deal and works wonderfully! however, buyers should be CAREFUL as the cheaper deals do NOT INCLUDE the transfer cable necessary to move your content from your old 20gb or 60gb drive to the new one. If you don't have saved games and other downloaded content then don't worry, you are saving money for sure. If you do have data saves and media then you need at least a memory card (I suggest a 512mb card - about $20-30) so you can copy your offline profiles and saves. Most online content can be re-downloaded for free if you can stand the wait. With all that in mind, Great Buy!Get more detail about Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive.

Order Game Party 3


We have played nearly every game on Game party 3 and so far have not had any problems with the controls. I had originally purchased the original Game Party when it had come out and found it enjoyable for what it is. These are nice games to sit down with friends and family and play together, the graphics aren't amazing but the game in itself is enjoyable, and this version has a lot included. I gave my original Game Party to a friend that really liked it since this edition has all of the games included from the other previous editions- which I think is a good value.
I am pretty certain that the publishers intent was not to win game of the year with this title, it is a family game, and it does that pretty well.
The youngest person to play this with us was ten, the oldest fifty-six and so far everyone has enjoyed it and been able to work the controls just fine.
If you don't own any of the other Game Party games than this is a good buy, I bought it already owning the original version and feel that we have got our money out of it, and will definitely continue to play it.Get more detail about Game Party 3.

Be forewarned that this product does not work well for the "Fishing World Tour" game. For that game, you need to be able to move the remote and the nunchuck independently, not as a unit.

Go Play Lumberjacks Review


I bought this game on a whim, and was totally surprised at how much fun the game is. We have fun playing two-player, and the action can be quite hillarious.

There are several things I like about this game:

(A) Getting into a game (or a tournament of games) is trivially easy, and unlike many other similar games, they don't make you wait for ever, nor do you have to navigate through a bunch of lame, tedious filler to get to the core of the fun.

(B) The games are fun. They are not earth-shattering, nor even unique. Some involve aiming, some timing, some about pressing button sequences quickly, some about how quickly you can jostle the controller. But the games are varied and fun, especially in competition with others. You can "free play" through the games, you can choose from small, medium or large tournaments (the large cycles through all of the available games).

(C) You can choose between 3 skill levels. All of the games are inherently 4 player, so the computer plays the empty slots, and the computer's competence is determined by the skill level you chose. While most of the games themselves are the same at the different skill settings (the computer players just get better), a few of the games get intrinsically harder based on the skill setting. I'm a hard-core, old-school arcade gamer, so I can still beat the computer in most of the games on the the hard level, only one or two are crazy-difficult on the hard skill level, while the easiest level lets everyone enjoy the game.

A fun, satisfying family game, especially for the money.Get more detail about Go Play Lumberjacks.

Mass Effect Top Quality


Here we have more RPG excellence from the company that helped define it with groundbreaking titles like Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age: Origins, and the older Baldur's Gate games. For those gamers out there who know and love Bioware games, this one will not disappoint you, particularly if you like science fiction and thought provoking types of games or movies.

Having gone over the positive aspects of this game, I should say that the flaws it has are pretty inconsequential. One of them is the DRM method. While this game does employ a method of DRM that can give a person quite a hassle, this can be avoided for those who dislike such invasive DRM measures (SecuROM, and similar DRM methods) by simply playing the Steam version of the game since that version doesn't include those invasive DRM programs.

All in all, this is a fantastic game with wonderful graphics and an intriguing storyline. Don't let the retail version's DRM prevent you from enjoying one of the most interesting military sci-fi epics of this decade.Get more detail about Mass Effect.

Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote This instant


I purchased this remote since we started using our Xbox 360 as a Windows 7 Media Extender. It is light, buttons are easy to press and nicely spaced. Buttons are back-lit as well. For a basic remote, it works. However, it will control ONLY your TV and XBOX. It will not control any other A/V accessories, which these days, should be a requirement. If we start using the Xbox for the Media Center function extensively, this remote will probably get replaced with a more advanced remote.

(For people with a more advanced A/V setup, consider the Logitech® Harmony Advanced Universal Remote For Xbox 360 instead. It is more pricey but will control everything under the sun.)Get more detail about Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote.

Super Collapse 3 Immediately


This game is so much fun!!! If you like Tetris, you'll "love" this game! I am in my 50's and I have a hard time putting this one down! My daughters and my grandkids love playing it too!! I've had to buy more copies of it so everyone can have a chance to play! There are so many different levels and challanges, so much more interesting than Tetris. You can play the long version of going around to different lands and passing all the challenges to move on to the next land, or if your not in the mood for a long game, you can choose to play quick picks, and there are so many different games in that with different levels. The great thing about this game from Tetris is how you can earn or buy bombs to use. At first, I thought that was going to be confusing from being an avid Tetris player, but I have found out that it is quite easy to understand and is so much more helpful when you can't seem to match up the blocks and they are climbing to the top, you can use a bomb and get rid of them all (as long as you have a bomb to use). This game is great fun! Don't miss out on it!!Get more detail about Super Collapse 3.

PS3 Power Media Kit Best Quality


The HDMI cable works flawlessly on a 1080p monitor. Very durable build.

The remote is not bluetooth, so you need to plug an adapter into one of the USB ports.
A USB hub with three ports is included in the pack, so it's not much of an issue. But I found it interesting that it did not come with the memory card reader as is the case with the individual unit. Snapped right onto my 80gb PS3.

The charge base is my favourite part of the pack. About the size of a stapler, all you have to do is plug a plastic adapter onto the controller's USB port and drop it in either of the slots on the charge base. (The controller's face should be facing the lights.) You can even keep the adapters on while playing. Two indicator lights let you know either of the controller's charge status. Green = fully charged/empty slot. Red = charging. I do feel that the lights are a little cheap-looking, but that's no problem. Oh, and a handy little power button on the opposite end of the charge base. Perfectly sized and easily depressed.

If you just bought a PS3, this is the perfect pack to accompany your purchase.

NHL 2K10 Get it now!


I have stuck with the NHL 2K series over the last few years because the $19.99 price tag is tough to beat. That being said, I was more than a little disappointed with the transition from 2K9 to 2K10. It is quite literally the exact same game. I know they rush these games out early, and updates are available on-line, but the rosters did a poor job of reflecting off-season signings & acquisitions. AI feels the same, controls are identical, announcers repeat most of the same repetitive one-liners from last season, visual appearance is the same, and I think the music took a step back. When I purchase any sports game, I do so with the hope that it will build upon the previous year, move forward, and add a few new features. I don't think that was really the case here. I was disappointed to see that EA abandoned the PS2 this season, so it looks like I'm stuck with a near carbon copy of last year's 2K until I upgrade to PS3 at some point.

It took a few minutes to get hooked on this turn based strategy game but after the initial break in it has become very addicting for myself, and my two children.It is not quite as educational regarding world history as I hoped (you do get to select a great ruler from a number of cultures to play as) but it does force you to think and develop a strategy (especially on the higher difficulties). I have not played the PC versions but it seems to work well with the X-box interface (plus, playing on the big screen is always nice). I would recommend it for all members of the family (after the kids have finished their homework, of course).Get more detail about Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution.

Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone Order Now


I think this mic is the best mic to own.

Pros:
1. Picks up sound easily
2. wireless (no chords!!)

Cons:
1. slight lag

One reviewer sad it would be hard to sing on hard or expert with this mic. I beg to differ. I tried hard mode with this mic and got a 99%. So the lag doesn't really take away from the game.Get more detail about Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone.

Wii Energizer Flat Panel 2x Induction Charger Right now


I've tried other rechargeable battery inserts to no avail. This one is great! It's easy to use and I've never had the batteries run out during game play yet. Also, unlike other flat panel induction chargers, there are no weird clips or attachments to put onto the remote while it's charging - you just drop the controller off and walk away.
It's perfect. Well worth the price.Get more detail about Wii Energizer Flat Panel 2x Induction Charger.

Low Price Imagine: Salon Stylist


I would recommend this game for girls age 7-12. I'm glad there are games for girls to explore and have fun. My daughter sure seems to like it. Get more detail about Imagine: Salon Stylist.

Save Dirt 2


I enjoyed the control and ralley like exerience that the first Dirt game presented. This game feels too much like an arcade game for me to take seriously. They stripped out a lot of the car set-up controls, and you have to now use the time trials modes to practice on different tracks. This is confusing because the event names don't line up with the course names. I just wish there was a simple practice option before each event, instead of having to guess what track the event will be run on.

The game has also lost a lot of its international flair, and has too many 'x-game' type events.

On the positive side, the graphics are very good, and the logic that controls the replays has been improved, and they are enjoyable to watch.Get more detail about Dirt 2.

Discount DS Lite Nerf Armor - Black/White


This has been on my sons ds lite for a year. Now I want to sell the DS Lite and I am trying to remove from the case.. I read this a long time ago and I see it it true. It is almost impossible to remove with doing damage to the DS itself or destroying the Nerf case. I will have to be cut off. Because of the I will lower my rating. My son DS lie has one of the rare pokemon special addition prints that I would like to show when selling so I don't a a single scratch on it. Now I can't offer the case in the sale because it has to be cut off. I will look for other protective casees in the future because of this.

Other wise I have seen several claims regarding this unit smelling. Sounds crazy. Case serves it's purpose.

******UPDATE. AFTER WRITING THIS REVIEW I WENT BACK TO TRYING TO REMOVE CASE. FOUND SITE WHERE A GUY DESCRIBES HOW HE DID IT. I TRIED HIS METHOD AND I JUST CRACKED THE TOP OF THE DS LITE. (not his fault) THE HINGE BROKE ON THE DS LITE RIGHT OFF IN MY HAND. IT IS RUINED! I will not buy another Nerf case again. NO MATTER WHAT. I do not recomemmend this product. Impossoble to remove without damage. The ds i was selling to offset the price of the new dsi is worthless now. Get more detail about DS Lite Nerf Armor - Black/White.
