Reviews of Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Fury Gaming Headset

Great headset! Fits very comfortably for long periods of time. Sounds quality is amazing, as always! The amount of pre-set profiles, especially those from pro and former pro players is a great feature. The build quality is sold and for the price you cannot beat this headset if you're a gamer!

It took a little time getting used to using a headset, but now, I find it to be comfortable. The sounds coming through the headset, particularly gaming sounds, are really great. The only problem I've had with it is the microphone keeps coming loose and sometimes falls out. Thus, only 4 stars.

Reviews of World in Conflict - Complete Edition

Customer Ratings:

As other reviews have mentioned, the Soviet Assault add-on adds six Soviet missions interspersed within the original World in Conflict singleplayer campaign. This particular package includes the original World in Conflict, plus the new Soviet missions. For those who missed this excellent strategy game when it was first released in 2007, this is the perfect package for you! The new missions add in new characters, cutscenes, and some very intense fights. It's great to see the Soviet side of the war fleshed out more, the campaign definitely feels much more complete now.

For those who already have the original game, you can find the six new singleplayer missions from Soviet Assault separately for $14.99-$19.99. If you liked the singleplayer, these missions are even better, and in my opinion, well worth it.

If you already have the original World in Conflict, and you don't care about singleplayer, Massive Entertainment released all of the multiplayer additions from Soviet Assault (two new maps, tweaks, etc) COMPLETELY FREE, all you have to do is download Patch #10.

Even you enjoy strategy games, and you haven't tried World in Conflict before, now is your chance!

This is not the kind of strategy game where you can sit back and plot away. You have to move quickly. I quickly learned this fact from this intense game. The graphics and story line are very good. If you liked "Red Dawn" you'll like the game. I've only played a couple of missions, but there seems to be a lot of variability to the missions. I like the use of control points.

I didn't give it all 5 stars because it is so fast paced it can be frustrating to manage your units, your fire support, your resupply options all while trying to hold one point that is being attacked while trying to take another.

I recently purchased a new computer, and after seeing some trailers and noticing that this was only $20 I decided to throw it in my Amazon cart. I was anxiously awaiting this game, but when I received it I must admit I was a bit disappointed.

Graphics and audio in this game are, quite frankly, awesome. Units are modeled in extreme detail and the environment is amazing. Cutscenes are done excellently and the story-line is actually believable. I've also heard of CTDs and other performance issues, but for me it has run smooth as butter.

Gameplay, on the other hand, is completely not what I had anticipated. Whereas I expected a Close Combat style game, I got a Command & Conquer. They call it a Real-Time Strategy, but there is no strategy involved in this game. It's basically throwing your units into combat as fast as you can replace them and ordering air and artillery strikes and...well, that's it.

It's fun for a little while, but any serious war-gamer will be bored after an hour or two.

Honest reviews on World in Conflict - Complete Edition

Hello Folks,

I agree with 3D Viking's statements, with a slight tweak.

I would say that if you have the original game, getting this complete edition is really not worth it. But, if you are new to the game, this complete package is well worth it!

This game has a very simple/slick interface, fantastic graphics and sound. Don't expect this to be the COH series, where you have to base build, and take many little control points (circles). This is more of a real time tactical game. The SP campaigns are fun, but MP, especially where you communicate with your teammates, makes the game very fun. Do not look to this game for using the deep reaches of your intellect, or to have your micromanagement needs met. For that go to Men of War, and its clunky interface.

This game is really a "keep it simple stupid" in its interface and gameplay. Simple is not dumb, it is fun when you talk to your teammates, or are SPing, and want to relax a bit

Regards,

John

For those struggling to play World of Conflict on Windows 7. I found if I installed it normally then it would not function correctly. However I found it worked correctly if I installed it in a non-system directory such as c:worldinconflict (choose custom when you install). This may also apply to Vista because they are fundamentally the same operating systems.

As for the game, it is excellent and full of atmosphere plus easy to get into to. The Complete Edition has all the campaigns from the original World in Conflict plus all 6 campaigns from the Soviet Assault Expansion. It plays out as one whole game which you mainly play as the US forces but also gives you the chance to see the game from the Russian point of view and also play it as the Russians. This adds even more atmosphere and gives a whole new depth to the game.

If you haven't played this game then go ahead and give it a try!

Pro System Selector Black 2.0 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I got this to help make life simpler for my home theater. I don't have DVI or HDMI so that was not an issue. This box has 5 component inputs (which also have S and composite). In addition it has optical inputs for the first 3 inputs and coaxial for all 5. Now with my Comcast, DVD. Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube, switching the TV and audio receiver is a snap. One input on the TV and one auto switching input on my receiver is all I need. The remote is small (but not as small as the first version of this box). The signals are clean coming out of the box and my wife is happy that she does not need a cheat sheet to work the TV!

The box is nice looking (I got black). The only (very) small drawback is that all the optical jacks are a too little close so one of my older cables had a big plastic (cosmetic) housing on it and it did not play nice with the other connectors. I replaced it and I was all good.

This is a great box!

This product is great if you have too many devices and not enough inputs on your television. It functions extremely well as a multi system selection device with no detectable distortion to sound and picture quality. If you don't have the money to go all out and purchase the top of the line this product definitely gives you your money's worth. For other gamers out there like me, this is an absolute must for quick and effortless transition between any and all gaming systems you may have. If you have several gaming systems that can utilize online broadband there is even two lan ports that can be used to hook up two separate devices to a single ethernet connection. It also has a remote which stops the constant back and forth to select the next system. If you are struggling with constant plugging and un-plugging of devices with the only input on your television, your days of struggle are over!

Cheap 250GB Hard Drive HDD for Xbox 360 - Fast Speed 7200RPM

Customer Ratings:

Ok, so I had recently left a bad review. I had worked with the seller to get my item and now it works quite well. The customer service was amazing although when I had sent back the drive they shipped a xbox360 slim drive to me instead of the original 360 drive I had ordered. Through the time I bought it and the time I had finally been able to use it was about 2-3 weeks. The drive works fine and is quite quiet. I haven't noticed a BIG difference in load times but I feel downloading your 360 games to your hard drive is a bit faster now. I would like to say that this is a good company and will work with you if you have any problems with a product. My experience with them has led me to change my bad review to a better one and I hope to see this company improve.

All the time I've owned my xbox 360, I've been underwhelmed by both the load times AND rpms. The stock rpms were completely unacceptable to say the least, and for years I cursed microsoft for sticking me and countless other users with such an inadequate platter speed >:(. Fortunately with the new Fastspeed hdd, i can have MAXIMUM rpms for slightly more than the cost of a decent gaming pc, so my (and our) rpm-related woes are over forever. Be careful though. If you aren't used to high rpms, your xbox can get out of control pretty quick.

Hey everyone, this game is an awesome game that any true fantasy RPG fan would love. If you're an Oblivion fanatic, then don't get this game because you'll never be satisfied with anything else. I am so sick of all the negative reviews because all these people have to say is that it isn't as good as Oblivion. Stop comparing it to Oblivion! Hey, here's an idea. Why not review this game based on its own merits and the fantasy RPG genre as a whole rather than telling us why it's not as good as Oblivion. Personally, I haven't played Oblivion. But I have been playing fantasy RPG games on computer now for about 15 years, so I know what I am talking about. So here is my review which I originally posted on Amazon.com on the 24th when the game first came out (with a few revisions). I also want to say that I bought this game because I am waiting for the Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion pack Mask of the Betrayer to come out, so I wanted something to keep me busy in the meantime (and I don't want to pay $15 a month to play World of Warcraft). I am also happy that this game looks good and runs well on my computer.

This is one of the best role-laying games that I have played in a long time. And the graphics and sound are great too! If you like fantasy RPG games such as Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, and Icewind Dale, then you're going to love this game. You can get the demo from the Two Worlds web site at You should get the demo first to see if it will run on your computer and to make sure you like it. This game is made for dual-core processors with a modern graphics card, so if you have an old computer then you probably shouldn't get this game until you upgrade your system (or you can get it for Xbox 360 if you have one).

What I like most about this game is that it is an open-class system for developing your character. What this means is that unlike most RPGs, your character is not restricted to just one class. When you create your character, you don't choose a class. Your character is free to develop any skills from any class as you advance levels. So you can wield magic, be a powerful fighter, and be a skilled thief all at the same time. And there are no class restrictions. In Dungeons and Dragons games, you often have restrictions based on your chosen class. Such as wizards can't have full plate armor. And fighters can't cast magic. The only restrictions I have found are practical things like you can't swim or use a bow in heavy armor. You can also fight with two weapons once you learn that skill.

Two Worlds is a huge game, so traveling on foot is not the best way to get around. Therefore, you can travel in faster ways. You can either use the teleport system. Or you can ride on horses or other animals. The box says that you can have six different mounts in this game. You can also fight from your horse which does more damage. And as far as I understand, you can't fight from horseback in Oblivion. But in this game you can (except with 2-handed weapons).

There is a main storyline that you have to follow, but you can follow it at your own pace (and there may be different outcomes based on your choices). If you want, you can just explore the world talking to people, fighting monsters, leveling up your character, buying and selling equipment, and completing various optional side quests for different NPCs. And there is no good or evil in this game, so you can make your own choices however you want. But your choices will have consequences in the game world. For example, if you break into someone's house, the guards in town will be alerted and will attack you. Or if you steal someone's things in their home, they will attack you. This is very different from most RPG games as you usually have to choose an alignment such as good, evil, or neutral, and then you have to make choices based on your chosen alignment. In D&D games, you are even more restricted because your chosen class may force you into a certain alignment (paladins have to be lawful good, assassins have to be evil, druids have to be neutral, monks have to be lawful, etc.) So this is a very welcome change from what I am used to. Also, there are different organizations and guilds in the game that you can gain influence in as you complete tasks for them which can prove useful. For example, if you have gained influence in the Merchant's Guild, you will get a discount at their stores. And at one point in the game, you have to gain influence in a certain clan to be able to speak with their leader.

The graphics in this game totally blew me away! Much better than Neverwinter Nights 2. When I bought Neverwinter Nights 2 for my PC, I had to also buy a graphics card to play it. Then after installing the graphics card, I was expecting something amazing. But I was totally let down. The game barely ran on my HP a1600n with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core 2 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and NVidia 7600 GS with 512 MB of RAM. The skies in that game totally suck. And I had to turn down many of the settings like the shadow quality to have an acceptable frame rate. But Two Worlds was a totally different experience. In Two Worlds, I had beautiful skies and landscapes, trees that blow in the wind, rain and lightning, glistening armor, moving shadows, night and day cycles, and rippling water with reflections.

The sound quality of this game was top notch too. The best part was the music which was done by Harold Faltermeyer who composed music to movies such as Top Gun and "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop. For a video game to have a movie composer is pretty remarkable. One thing I didn't like, though, is the music can get repetitive. In one part of the game there is a rock/Gothic/Celtic song with a beautiful female singer. The first time I heard the song, I thought "Wow! I really like this song." But after 10 times in a row I started to get a headache and went to the settings and turned the music off. Once I turned the music off, I was able to better hear the sound effects such as the leaves rustling in the wind when outdoors and water dripping and echoing when underground.

I love the magic system in this game too. Unlike D&D games where you have to memorize a spell and then it is used up once you cast it, this game has a much more flexible magic system. There are five realms of magic: earth, air, fire, water, and necromancy. And you have so many points of mana that you can use to cast your magic. Each spell costs a certain amount of mana when cast. This way, you can keep casting fireball as many times as you want until you run out of mana. I had my right mouse button mapped to my fireball spell, so I could left-click to attack with my sword and right-click to cast my fireball. There are a total of 100 spells in game, and don't forget that any character can learn any spell. This system of magic casting I found to be far more flexible and fun than D&D based games. There is also an extensive alchemy system for creating potions, gems, and traps, but I haven't tried it yet.

Another really cool feature of this game is what is called stacking. If you find more than one sword of the same type, then instead of selling the ones you don't need, you can stack them. What this means is that if you stack one sword on top of the other, it merges into one sword that is suddenly more powerful and can do more damage. You can also stack armor and spells. I have never played a RPG game that let you do this before, and I just love this feature. This way you can create really powerful items from a very simple item. I ended up stacking my bow to create a super powerful bow. I bought over 30 of the same bow and stacked them all to create a bow that could cause over 300 points of damage!

Finally, there is a multiplayer mode to this game. The box says that you can play online with others in a MMO setting with arena duels and cooperative play all for free. But I wouldn't buy this game for the multiplayer mode. If you really want a multiplayer game, then I would recommend World of Warcraft, Star Wars Battlefront 2, or Halo 3 (for the 360). But if you are a fan of single player fantasy RPGs, then get this game.

Two Worlds is an excellent fantasy RPG game, but it is not perfect. Like any game, there are some things that could be better. In the multiplayer mode you have more choices when starting out with your main character. You can choose male or female humans as well as other races and classes. But in the single player mode, your only choice is a human male. I think a lot of girls out there will be upset that they can't create a female character. Neverwinter Nights 2 has this game beat in that respect with a huge amount of choices for races and classes with male and female versions of every one. In NWN2, you could spend hours just creating your character. But in this game, your only choices are appearance such as eye color, hair color, and a few other things.

The interactions with NPCs were kind of limited. When you talked with someone, it locks you in to a cut-scene like interaction where your character can have a conversation. But your choices for conversation were kind of limited. Also, a lot of the NPCs looked the same. And where were all the women? The few women I found didn't even want to talk to me. They just told me to go away. The only woman I could talk to was the main character's sister, who is the hot chick on the front of the box.

Probably the thing that most needs improvement in this game is the voice acting. Unlike Oblivion where they used professional actors like Patrick Stewart to do the voices, this game's voice acting is really bad. I should have given this game a four star rating instead because of the bad voice acting. Many of the characters all sound (and look) the same, and the main character has a monotone voice (in Neverwinter Nights you can choose what kind of voice you want your character to have). This makes you just want to skip through the dialogue and then check your journal to see what your new quests are. The good thing is that you can skip through the dialogue. You only need to press escape or the space bar. Also, I am so sick of hearing the words, "methinks," "mayhap," "perchance," and other archaic Old English words.

Finally, there is one other thing that is really annoying me about this game. Even though my character has really high strength, my inventory quickly fills up and I end up having to drop many items because I can't carry them all. This has forced me to put more and more points in strength every time I advance in levels just so I can carry more equipment even though I wanted to put points in my other attributes. What good is it to find really awesome armor and weapons if I can't even carry them without having to drop other things in my inventory? As it turns out, the multiplayer version lets your horse carry an unlimited amount of items. But this feature is not available in the single player game.

When I first heard about this game, I thought "Okay, here's another RPG game with orcs, elves, and dwarfs. This has all been done before. Nothing new here." But after trying the demo, this game far surpassed my expectations. I feel like this is the RPG game that I have always wanted to play on my computer. So hopefully this review will convince you to buy this game. Despite the few things that I didn't like, Two Worlds is an excellent RPG game that is worth playing.

After buying this game, I still love it and think it is an excellent RPG game for the PC. My thanks to the people at Reality Pump for making a really good game. But the game clearly loses points for the bad voice acting and the lack of character creation choices in the single player game. Other than that, this game will keep you entertained for a long time with the open character development system, great magic system, great graphics and sound, and a huge expansive world to explore. It is definitely worth your 50 bucks. And unlike World of Warcraft and some other games, you don't have to pay an extra $15 a month to play it.

In the future, I hope that Reality Pump comes out with some updates to this game to fix the limitations and an expansion pack to add more content. I would like to see all the multiplayer options in the single player game (more character creation choices and mounts that can carry your stuff), and I would love to see flying mounts that can be ridden on. Can you imagine having a flying dragon as your mount? And to be able to fight from your dragon with a lance like in Dragonlance? One of the spells you cast is "summon wyvern," but unfortunately you can't ride on it.

PROS:

open-class character advancement system (you can learn any skill from any class)

huge world to explore with an open-ended non-linear quest

great magic system with an extensive alchemy system

the best graphics I have seen in a RPG game yet

the best sound I have heard in a RPG game yet

weapons, armor, and spells can be stacked to create more powerful versions

6 different mounts to ride and fight from

free online multiplayer

CONS:

limited character creation options in the single player mode (human male only)

horse can carry unlimited items, but this feature is only in the multiplayer version

limited choices when interacting with NPCs and bad voice acting

most NPCs were men, hardly any women! (more hot chicks please)

This game had a lot of hype attached to it when I was first told about it in gamestop. The clerk there had asked if I liked Oblivion or any other RPGs. I had said yes. He told me it would be a little bit like Oblivion but 3rd person. I won't be discussing the similarities and differences based on Oblivion. I am just letting everyone know how I came to hear of this game.

My girlfriend had pre-ordered this for me as a gift. When I got it, I played it for hours until I beat it. Even if I do not enjoy a game, I still try my best to play it to the end, to have the full experience and full opinion. I have played a variety of games. Anything from Hitman, to Diablo, to STALKER, to Startopia, Warhammer, Fallout, all sorts of games and I enjoy every variety.

I wasn't too impressed with this. The official site had promised a change in the world of the game, based on whether you are good or evil. It talked about necromancy not being available until you discover it, along with no zombies until you "activate" the necromancy branch.

I was led on to believe many things about this game before I played it. And I would actually point out that the official site lied a LOT.

There were many pros and cons to this game.

Pros:

1. You start off weak, you really need to work on your character to fight the numerous creatures throughout the game.

2. Many different types of enemies, up to the end of the game.

3. You can kill anything. If a villager tells you about a reward and wants you to do a quest, you can actually just kill them and take it. Or anyone else for that matter.

4. You can stack weapons and armor to create stronger versions. This is great when you enjoy the look of an armor or if you want to keep a specific weapon style.

5. Very large map to play in

6. Beautiful HDR lighting to the point of realism to sun sensitivity

Cons:

1. You have a predefined character as a human male, warrior. To be anything else takes quite a few hours to actually be much of anything.

2. Bows were practically useless, as was most magic. The hack and slash way of fighting was most effective.

3. Misleading info on the actual SITE. When you end the game, whether you choose good or bad, only determines the end cutscene, after that, you are done playing.

4. Phone activation

5. So so voice acting

6. Not much to the fighting style, you swing, you swing, you swing. No combos, no variety to fighting moves.

7. Blood is horribly rendered, just a small red splotch on the screen.

8. Horse riding is very inefficent, not worth fighting on the horse itself. Hard to control while riding

9. At times the missions tended to be confusing.

Conclusion:

In the end, if I had not payed the $50 and payed around $10, I would had been happy with it. You get what you pay for. It isn't the best game out there, but it isn't the worse. I give it 4/10 overall. Not for me, even though I have played huge varieties of games, and have played many RPGs even.

Best Deals for Two Worlds - PC

Seriously, this game is loads of fun. First let me say I love Morrowind, and have put over 200 hours into Morrowind. Oblivion is like a super polished Morrowind and so after 10 hours of Oblivion I bailed, just can't do a repeat of essentially Morrowind on steroids. Now after 14 hours of Two Worlds, PC version, I'm having so much fun. It's a different feel from Morrowind and Oblivion. A somewhat more complex and interative adventure. I love how all the creatures have rather unique attacking methods. You do have to work on differing strategies. I love the magic system based on cards you find all over the world or purchase at select merchants. Cards offering you various spell casting abilities. Air, Water, Earth, Fire & Necromancy. Casting spells is easily handled with hot keys. So yes, you can hack and slash with a wide assortment of weapons via the left mouse button and cast your main spell with the right mouse button or various hotkeys. And you can rotate up to 3 weapons with the R key. The alchemy system is intuitive and darn near all ingredients can be mixed into a potion. This is loads of fun. The travel system is great, you can go by foot, by horse (buy or steal one) or by portal. You can even battle while on horseback if you level up correctly. Plus of course the horse can hold inventory. I currently have 3 horses. Horse riding is quite realistic. The map on the game is huge, but not as huge as Morrowind. In Morrowind you could take 20 minutes real time to walk from town to town. In this game no more than 4-8 minutes. Hey if that's too long, get a darn horse. The game world is inhabited by various wild animals like wolves (which attack in packs) and bears (which attack solo). That for the first 6-7 hours are pretty hard to defeat. They even respawn at night in limited numbers as ghosts (if you killed them) which is an interesting twist. The characters you meet all speak in their own voices, which is cool. Of course there are varied quests and different guilds you can join. But really the fun is in the fighting which is spaced out just enough to keep it lively and never a bore. But never overwhelming (so far no more than 8 opponents at a time.) And the terrain is very hilly, which has a nice effect. No just flat plains. And instead of just swords, arrows, knives, clubs and magic, you can learn to set various traps for your enemy like fire bombs which is a blast. Another thing I like about combat is that your opponent can knock your weapon out of your hand. This happened to me while fighting a group of skelton warriors. And caught me totally by surpise. Fighting is best handled in 3rd person, as you can easily be surrounded by enemy. But you can play the game in first person too. Overall the world has a realness to it, and since when you die your character will respawn at the nearest health temple, you don't have to play the game saving just before all major battles. Even though you can save anywhere and the autosave happens automatically before any major event takes place. Also it's cool how you can upgrade your equipment by finding the exact same equipment and putting them together as one. Works with everyting including the magic cards. Anyway, this game is lots of fun. I admit I do have a top of the line system with a Geforce 7800, and have no problems playing at 1280x960 all effects on max. I can't speak for lesser systems, but, I'm done... and expect to be having fun for another 50 hours!

Honest reviews on Two Worlds - PC

As one of the reviewers recommended, I tried out the demo version. Based on the demo, I purchased the game and have not regretted it. Incidentally, the game is better than the demo. Although reviews for Two Worlds tend to reflect two extremes, it seems that most of those people who don't like the game have either played the game on a console or not read the game manual. If the reader can avoid falling into either of those categories, this game is definitely worth considering. This review is based on the PC version, release 1.6. I've played it about 10 hours at this point.

Environment: The game environment is very realistic. Clothing, weapons, buildings, roads, and plant life all show that someone put a lot of time into the design. This is one of those games that you enjoy just walking around and looking at the scenery.

Unfortunately, you will not do much looking at scenery in the beginning, since you are almost constantly being attacked by something or someone. Although the towns appear to be populated at realistic levels, the wilderness is filled with wolves, boars, bears, bandits, and a variety of other hostiles. There always seems to be something nipping at your heels. As you travel further from the game's starting point, this seems to become less of a problem.

The game provides regular day/night cycles along with frequent weather changes. Some of the weather, such as thunderstorms, is very realistic. The only minor issue here is that the weather tends to change too fast. In Two Worlds you may have several different types of weather each day.

The game world is large--not Morrowind large, but it will take you a long time to travel from one end to the other on foot. Fortunately, there are portals that allow you to teleport between places you have already been.

There are a lot of items in this game world. The plethora of minerals, plants, objects, weapons, and other items will have you making constant decisions regarding what to do with them. This adds a lot of depth to the game, so if you like experimenting with alchemy, magic, or weapon power-ups Two Worlds is a great sandbox to play in.

Control: Character control is excellent. If you do not have a weapon readied, you can play in a first or third person perspective. When you ready a weapon, the game will switch you to third person perspective. You can zoom the camera in third person mode to select a view you prefer. In this respect the game is nearly perfect. I cannot recall an instance where I could not see and control the character exactly as I wanted to.

I rode several horses and fought from them as well. I have read that the horse control is bad, but it does not seem to be the case with the 1.6 version. I would be more critical if this was a horse racing game or something, but as an interesting diversion in a fantasy-based RPG, the horses are OK.

The game controls character stats, inventory, magic, maps and quest logs, etc. in its own way. As I mentioned before, this is one game where you really should take the time to read the manual. Although the manual is large (130 pages), it is easy reading and the information it contains will clear up a lot of potential confusion.

Game mechanics: Unlike some RPGs, this one is not a click fest. Your character needs to move and deliver combinations of blows and magic spells to survive. In this sense, Two Worlds is a "fighting game." There are a lot of possible combination moves and fighting techniques, but the player does not have many of them at the beginning. You have to meet "trainers" to unlock these skills. Those who find themselves getting killed a lot in the beginning are probably trying to "mouse click" their way to victory and only use ¼ of their character's fighting capabilities. I had some practice by playing the demo, so by the time I started playing the full game, I had little difficulty keeping my character alive. I would guess it will take most people anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours of game play to get proficient with the combat system.

The magic system is excellent and flexible. The player starts out having basic training in two of the five schools of magic. The player can then level up in a school of magic rather than leveling up a particular spell so whole groups of spells can be enhanced. Incidentally, there is a lot of "overlap" in the spells used by the different schools, so in practical terms the 5 schools are more like 2 schools. Using a card system, the spells in the same school can be combined in various ways to form different spells. Further, "booster" spells, which can apply to spells of all schools, can be added to gain enhanced effects.

Storyline: I have spent very little time playing the main quest as yet, but most of the side quests seem to tie into events that spin off of the main quest.

There are many factions in the game. As a generalization, everyone claims that their group is the good guys. The game employs a "political intrigue" sub-plot, so it is difficult to know who you should trust.

Sound: The music is great, although there is not enough of it to keep from repeating quite a bit. If you get tired of it, the solution is easy: turn down the music volume.

Some critics have complained about the dialog, but it is no worse than many dubbed movies. If anything is lacking, it is the character animation during the dialog, and it was good enough to advance the plot.

So how good is the game overall? I rate it 5 out of 5 even though the game has a mildly steep learning curve and some unconventional ways of doing things. If you have a reasonably strong PC and read the game manual, you should enjoy the experience.

I was all hyped by this game after reading about it on the net. I foolishly pre-ordered it thinking it might be a fun hack'n'slash like Diablo or Sacred.

I was wrong.

For an RPG, you have one choice and one choice only in the singleplayer game. Male. Human. That's it.

There are no classes. No races. You can allocate points to different skills but your combat will come down to this for every fight, I'm not kidding. Right click (fireball), rclick, rclick, rclick. Out of mana. Sword/staff L click, L click, L click.

You can't target mobs. You can't change targets. The game targets for you. You cant click a body to loot it. You have to walk up to it, an 'eye' appears and you hit the spacebar to interact with it. There is no mouse pointer on the screen at all. I hate not having control over what I want to do in a game. Let me choose my target, please.

The mobs, and boy the variety you'll see (wolves, bears, and boars), all come in packs of 5 or more. You won't find a single mob in this game it seems. The graphics are subpar. I read somewhere this graphics engine was being developed in 1998. Believe me, it shows.

The sound..I could go on and on about the sound. Suffice it to say, if you have a Creative card, GOOD LUCK getting it to work. I finally manged to, don't ask me how. The FAQ suggests (get this), removing your Creative driver and going back and using the ol' MS generic drivers as a fix. I guess they really are thinking in 1998, eh?

The quests aren't fun, the voiceovers are horrid, and fighting from mounts? Good luck controlling your mount or steering it. You'll dismount for ALL of your combat you'll get so fed up with it.

I'm not trusting any new SOUTHPEAK for any games again. No more eastern european game designers for me. I'm done with them. They've always dissapointed me (Beyond Divinity anyone?)

Trust me..pass this one by.

Review of Wii U Deluxe Set with New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U

Customer Ratings:

I'm mostly writing this review to counter balance a 1-star review written by someone complaining about price. NOTE: Currently the item is overpriced, but that is because Amazon no longer sells Nintendo consoles directly. Do some research and you will see why. Basically the prices on here are being manipulated by third party sellers. The MSRP is $299.99, and if you look elsewhere and you should be able to find it at that price. Regardless of the pricing on here though, there really is no reason to bash the product itself.

Anyways, this is a great bundle, for anyone who likes Mario games and wants to step up from the previous generation. In the box you'll receive a Wii U (well, duh!) & a gamepad, both in the sleek color of black. It also includes the latest New Super Mario Bros. games + DLC on one disc, along with power/HDMI cables, and stands for standing the Wii U vertically, charging station for gamepad, a sensor bar, manuals, ect.

The value is amazing (though I wish they had thrown in a pro controller :P) I bought this for my brother for Christmas at Target. He'll love it. Hope you enjoy it too. Don't listen to the one star reviews. Wii U is awesome, I've played it many times.

Bought this Wii U bundle at Target November 1st for $292. I had a 5% discount card from my pharmacy awards that I used on top of my 5% Red Card savings. The retail price at places like Target and Best Buy is $299.99. This is a great bundle with two great games. I waited to purchase a Wii U for a year so that more games would be out and the price be lower. Trust me, now is the time to get a Wii U. Buy it now so that you can play it with friends and family this Thanksgiving and Christmas. The new game pad with built in touch screen is awesome. One warning, it took me about 3 hours to hook everything up, download the latest software update to version 4.0, and transfer my data from my old Wii to the new Wii U. Transferring data from your Wii to the Wii U is pretty cumbersome and annoying. You will want to make sure you have at least a 512 MB SD card on hand to do the transfer. Just follow the instructions and remain patient.

I love this so much. I honestly wouldn't buy it from Amazon, they have it for a higher price than Nintendo is selling it, through other vendors. If I were going to buy it again, I'd buy it from GameStop, like I did the first time.

Pros:

1) Nintendo exclusives are VERY well made, especially the ones that will be coming in the future.

2) This is the deluxe edition, meaning you get a larger hard drive than the regular one, stands for your Wii U and GamePad, and you get it in black!

3) You get both, New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi Bros. U with this, which is about an $80-$90 value, which is free with this bundle.

4) The GamePad is a great way to see other things without having to switch to another screen on the actual TV, like a map or an inventory.

5) You can switch from the TV to the GamePad in certain games, that way people can watch a TV show while you or your kids can continue their game.

Cons:

1) It's talked down about for the above reasons, which I like and seem to think are pros. Negative reviews almost turned me away from this, which sucks.

Please, don't let the negative reviews change your mind about this. I really like it and I think it's pretty cool for a next gen. gaming console.

Honest reviews on Wii U Deluxe Set with New Super Mario Bros U and New Super Luigi U

This set is an exceptional value. I had been holding out on the Wii U for a while, waiting for something like this to come up.

After working a few 60 hour weeks, I paid for my PS4 and decided to upgrade the old lady's Wii to a Wii U. And? Wise decision.

While I'm still not a fan of the massive Game Pad, the sheer amount of enjoyment you can get out of this package is incredible. Two (well, one and a half) games included and you can use your old Wii Remotes (even the non-Motion Plus remotes! Score!). New Super Mario Bros. U is mindless fun with friends and the addition of Luigi U means that you're set up for a sizable amount of gameplay out of the box.

The system is easy to set up (physically and software-wise), but the software setup is a chore. Nintendo still hasn't figured out networking. I have no idea why download speeds on Nintendo platforms are so slow, but the update took over an hour to download. After the update was installed, getting everything connected to various accounts was also a hassle. But after all of THAT tomfoolery, the system was really enjoyable to work with. As much as I'm not a fan of the Game Pad, it's really pretty awesome to control the menus on a tablet over using the screen interface.

I'm really happy I decided to pick this up. Anyone who has been on the fence about Wii U now has the benefit of this package (or the Zelda package... which I was going to get, but the lady likes her Mario games). I would argue that, despite the PS4 and Xbox One launching this year, Nintendo now has the most compelling system on the market. Just my opinion. But I'm probably going to go play Skyrim after writing this.

+ You can use the non-Motion Plus Wii Remotes.

+ HDMI cable included; graphics look super sharp. Finally, Nintendo!

+ Included games will keep you busy for quite some time.

+ System is small, fits easily into entertainment center.

+ Netflix and TV controls are pretty snazzy.

Game Pad is a clunky means of control; look, I get ityou can take the game with you, etc. But I don't have kids and it just gets in the way.

Setting up the system takes much more time than is necessary. Nintendo Network/Club Nintendo stuff needs to be bundled together.

We're going to get next to nothing for the old Wii.

I bought this at bestbuy for $299. I'm not sure why the price is higher here but much cheaper than xbox and ps4 regardless. As always, Nintendo has a quality system here. Much better than other systems that recently launched from ms and sony. Getting super mario bros U and the luigi expansion makes it worth it since that is lot of wasted money if you buy it seperately. Yes I am kinda a nintendo fanboy but there are no problems I can report at this time. Saved a lot of money getting the bundle too.

Very happy with this system.

While i can say a bit was taken away from the story as a whole most major points are covered and of course more stories are told not included in the other two games.The graphics ars stunning as always and combat is really fun!

Best Deals for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations - Playstation 3

The creators of the Ultimate Storm video game series seemed to shoot themselves in the feet with UNS: Generations. This game appeared to be, at least to me, a sort of buffer between UNS: 2 and UNS: 3. The fact that Generations came right in the middle of the Storm 2 and Storm 3, combined with the lower quality of this game, makes it obvious that developers were trying to keep fans of the video game series interested while waiting patiently for the 3rd installment. Unfortunately, as a fan of the series, I was not satisfied with this game as I anticipated to be.

PROBLEM AREAS: (Sadly, there are many.)

-Lack of story mode: Obviously because developers were putting Naruto Shippuden UNS: 3 into process, and did not have the money to spend and the time to promote a more extensive game with longer game play and larger worlds. Taking away a key component of the game series to be able to move around as Naruto, Sasuke and other characters in a story mode where one can gather items and interact with the environment is a HUGE draw back to me. It'll lead me into my next point...

-Fixed, narrated story mode: This made up for the lack of free play. To me, the narration was inconsistent and the individuals used for narration in the Japanese version, which I vastly prefer over the dub did not seem to mesh well with the personalities/storylines of the characters they were narrating for. That's just an opinion, but for example, the Japanese narration for Sasuke's arc was heavy, drawn-out and awkward sounding. Not to mention that I didn't feel like sitting through a lengthy, verbose narration about things I already knew well of the characters in the game! With this new and mediocre mode, one unlocks new arcs without free play by finishing initial arcs first if you beat Sasuke's tale, you unlock Itachi's, and so on and so forth. To me, this didn't seem challenging.

-Lack of difficulty: Again, this game did not have a difficult layout. You beat one arc, you unlock another, and if you are very bored of watching 5-10 minute narrations about things you already know [if you've watched the show or read up to date what is happening], you skip the cutscenes, head into battles we've sometimes even seen before in previous games, and then move onto another narration/cutscene. The game itself is very FLAT.

-Some CGI glitches: Just something I noticed. Movement could get awkward at times. The developers aimed high to make character movement more fluid but now and then it becomes difficult to maneuver the characters and how they move. Hopefully it will be better in UNS: 3.

-Poor concept art: I might be picky with this since I am an artist myself, but I found the art for this game the drawings of characters as we select them for battle in the free play arena/computer vs. player, etc. mode to be poorer than previous concept art we have seen with the UNS series. I found the new drawings of our favorite characters to be somewhat... off, and not as aligned to Kishimoto's vision. Essentially they seemed like a fan artist's version of these characters, a very good version, but not the Kishimoto version. This irked me, and seemed to reinforce that the time put into this makes it a cheap buffer game and nothing more.

-New substitution meter: For some reason, developers put in a substitution bar for doing substitutions that makes it impossible for one to do an unlimited number as we could in Storm: 2. You have a certain number of substitutions available and if the bar runs out, even if you have chakra at your demand, well... good luck! This was annoying. Substitution is a huge win factor in the Storm series. Without it, you could very well die...all the time.

POSITIVE AREAS: (Yes, this game does have some positives, but not many!)

-An attempt at more fluid game play. Stated in the above. It was a major improvement from the last game and I appreciate this despite some glitches.

-Very attractive visuals, which is always a huge plus for this game series.

-A wide range of characters to unlock and play... but perhaps too many? It's really a matter of opinion. I see the 'generations' theme they were going for though. I think that the wide range of characters could be fun for individuals who are newer to the Naruto/Shippuden series.

-Some interesting new battle areas. Not fabulous, but the effort is put in and you can tell. They were going for variety here.

VERDICT: This game is definitely a buffer game, and take that as you will. You will NOT find the high quality, free play story mode of Storm 2 and previous games, and this might make some of you out there, if you're anything like me, very frustrated. The visuals are excellent, but is that worth paying even 27 or 28 dollars for this game, when you could save up to pre-order Ultimate Ninja Storm: 3? Absolutely not. If you're a big fan of this series you're bound to face disappointment.

Don't waste the cash. Even though I was thinking of giving this 1 star, the effort put into SOME areas, like visuals, more fluid game play, and a greater variety prevented me from giving this game 1 star, but it still not worth paying the money for. It's only so-so.

Honest reviews on Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations - Playstation 3

I'm pretty sure I've played most, if not all, of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games. While this one is my favorite (mainly because of the new characters you can use), there are some things of the past I wished this game had.

Game Modes: There's no explore Konoha and surrouding areas RPG mode! While this aspect isn't necessary in a fighting game, and I've seen other recent fighting games also eliniate this part, it definitely allows the player to take a break from the sometimes monotony of continuously battling. I'm not a big online battler either, so an RPG mode would have been greatly appreciated. The story mode is interesting as it takes you through the perspectives of different characters. I was definitely looking forward to the new Anime scenes that were being promoted, but, honestly, only a couple of them were of any real worth or fun to watch. Another downside to the story mode is that, even though you do get to play as different characters, some of them have intertwining stories, and therefore it's possible for you to fight the same battle two or three times...just as different people. That to me became too monotonous to a point. Also, the lack of "cinematic/quick time" battles leaves the mode a bit lacking. Free Battle Mode has your typical VS, Online Battle, and Training. There's also a Survival Mode and Tournament Mode. I have tried Tournament yet, but I do like the survival. It provides a good amount of chalenge at times, and I'm only at the intermmediate level right now. You have to start at Basic or Beginner Level (can't remember what it's called) and work your way up. The other modes are the Store and Collection, which are all self-explanatory.

Gameplay: The battle system really hasn't change from the past couple games. The attack, jump, item, and chakra charge buttons are all the same. Every character has one jutsu attack and one Ultimate Jutsu (which, sadly, were all recycled from the last game except for the new characters). This is actually one of the things I hate the most about the last couple games. in the past, although you could still use only one Ultimate Jutsu, but at least almost every character had a few of them to chose from. There's still Awakening Mode. For those new to the series, this mode becomes available when your HP gets below 50%. You charge your chakra to the max, and your characters gain heightened defense, attack, etc. You also still have to support characters, each with pre-assigned characteristics (attack, defense, or balance). You have a team gauge, and the more you use your support characters, the more the gauge fills. When you fill the gauge up once, it automatically activates your supports' passive abilities. If the ability is Attack, your support will join you for a few hits when you attack your opponent with regular attacks, and when you knock and opponent back (either with a jutsu or regular attack) your support will appear to knock them back for an extra hit. If their ability is defense, your support will protect you while you chakra charge or when an opponent tries to dash at you in order to stun you. Finally, if their ability is balance then your support will join you when you when you chakra charge and throw shuriken and they will also take your opponent's Ultimate's Jutsu instead of you getting hit (which can be useful but it also knocks out that support for the remainder of the battle). Now, if you fill the gauge up a second time, it allows you to do a team attack, which is always fun to watch and can take away almost 50% of the enemy's HP. The one thing I wish the game implemented was switching out your team of characters during battle, kind of like Marvel vs Capcom instead of having one main fighter and two supports. The only really big change that I noticed was that you can't spam the subtitution jutsu. You have a gauge that lets you do it a maximum of four times, and then you'll have to wait for the gauge to refill any of the four bars before you can use it again. This definitely adds more strategy to the game, which is good.

Characters: Yes, there are over 70 characters that span from the beginning of the Naruto timeline to the 5 Hokage Summit Arc. Here's my beef though. Only like 20 of those characters are from before Shippuuden, which is disappointing to me because I was really looking forward to playing as characters that they stopped using in the recent games like (Anko, Kurenai, the Sound 4) and maybe even some new ones from that generation like (Genma, Raido, Ibiki). Oh, but it's not that those characters don't appear in the game, they're just support only. So not only are there less characters from teh first generation, the ones you can use are just younger versions of Naruto and his friends. More diversity would have been nice.

The only other thing I can think to comment on are the stages. There's a good number of them, but there is also some repetition. A few of the stages are the same place just different times of day or different weather.

Despite all of the things that I found to be a downside (they are all personal opinions), this game is a ton of fun, and the new characters are a definite welcome addition.

Well, I bought this like three months ago, I usually don't care about online playing so I just spend my playing time against the computer or completing the story modes, so for a fighting game is the same than all the others naruto games for ps3 very repetitive, so the only way you enjoy this game is if you love this tv show otherwise it doesn't have much to offer, besides the big character roster.

I will by ultimate ninja storm 3 when the price drops because even if it's like the second part which was very good, naruto games don't deserve to be so expensive. They are too silly for being so expensive :P

Cheap Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 - Xbox

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $7.28
Today's Bonus: 76% Off

If you are deciding between Tiger Woods 2004 or Links 2004, I will tell you the differences.

GAMEPLAY:

Both games are set up very nicely. Both have the great analog swing. The only problem with Tiger Woods is once you have your player stats maxed out it becomes unrealistic because your drives go 370 yards consistently, which makes the game too easy. Links, it takes awhile to max your stats, and once you do its still realistic, meaning you'll need a good drive and good second shot to make it on the Green in 2 on a par 5. As far as putting, Links has Tiger beat by a huge margain. On Links you get a nice chart layout and the analog putting feels so real. On Tiger it gives you a caddy tip and the grid really stinks. To spin the ball, Tiger still has the arcade feel where you spin the ball after its hit. On Links you choose the spin before you hit it, just like in real life.

ADVANTAGE: LINKS 2004

COURSES/GOLFERS/ITEMS(UNLOCKABLES):

Tiger Woods has a ton more courses, compared to only 9 on Links. Tiger also has a lot more PGA Golfers on the game, like Tiger, Vijay, Daly, Furyk, and more compared to Links 3 golfers. Tiger Woods has THE BEST create a golfer ever!!!! Links you choose a player model and change his clothes. In Tiger you can create your player (identical to you!) and have all kinds of unlockables to fit to him including clubs, shoes, gloves, hats, etc. There is just so much.

ADVANTAGE: TIGER WOODS by far!!

CAREER MODE:

In Links you play in a series of Tournaments to earn cash to buy attributes. In Tiger you can play through an entire "almost real" PGA Tour season with the real events, like at Kapalua (the Merceds Championship) starting in January in Hawaii. Also included are the 4 majors, just named something different. This gives Tiger a major advantage as far as replay value.

ADVANTAGE: TIGER

OVERALL:

Tiger Woods has a ton more options, courses, golfers, unlockables. The gameplay is a little more unrealistic (not like Mario Golf or Hot Shots Golf though) and the putting is not as good as Links. The create a player and career mode is awesome.

Links has the better gameplay but lacks the options and unlockables cool stuff found in Tiger. The gameplay is so much more realistic than Tigers though, and the graphics are better.

If you are looking for a game with better gameplay and don't care about the options, get Links. If you are someone who loves the all the good unlockables and true PGA Tour season play, get Tiger.

I must first say that the create-a-player is by far the best one I've ever seen on any video game. So if you're like me, that's a huge selling point. You can customize everything on the guy, down to their socks and bling-bling earrings.

Gameplay is really quite easy to learn and quite easy to be good at. This may be a problem for some of the purists/realists, but for people who just want to pick up the game, play and be good, it works well. Unlike real golf, the gameplay isn't frustrating!

But what is agonizingly frustrating is the putting. You get virtually no idea of what way the green is going. All you have to go by is the Caddy's Advice, who tells you to aim 2 feet left and 3 feet long. How far is a foot? I have no idea! It's usually just pure luck if you knock down a put of any distance.

I think the old "Golf" game on Nintendo had a better putting gameplay (and that was 15 years ago).

If you can get past the putting, this game is great fun. The career mode seems quite lengthy and will probably keep me entertained for hours upon hours. I'd recommend this game for my money.

The programmers at EA Sports have out done themselves: I must first say that the create-a-player is fantastic. It is fun to make your player as normal or as bizarre as you want. You can customize everything on the character, from their socks to the bling-bling.

Gameplay is really quite easy to learn. For people who just want to pick up golf,it can be good experience. Unlike real golf, the gameplay isn't frustrating!

Putting can be a challenge. Once you do it a few times, you can get the hang of it.

Your character can quickly earn money and endorsements. It lets you unlock different aspects of the game from favorite golf holes to different clothes to purchase.

FUN FUN FUN! This game is great fun. The career mode seems quite lengthy and will probably be entertaining for hours upon hours. I'd highly recommend this game. After I wear this game out, I will buy 2005.

Honest reviews on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 - Xbox

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 has its greats and it has its downers. The best thing about Tiger Woods is the create a golfer mode. It is the best out of every game where you can create a player. You can go from choosing your complexion to changing your eye set. The great create a golfer mode is why people love this game.

As for the modes, you can play a PGA Tour season, a World Tour where you face a bunch of real and fake golfers and get cash if you beat them. You can also play scenerios, where maybe you have to make a very long putt to get a better putter.

As for the gameplay, your left thumbstick is like the backswing and downswing of your club. If you swing the stick staright up and down, you will hit it straight. If you move the stick accidentally in other directions, you will hit it into the rough.

But, just like real golf, the putting is impossible. You dont take a full swing. The caddy advice says to aim it maybe 3 inches left but it is very frustrating.

Overall, Tiger Woods is a good game. With extras like getting sponsors like Nike and Adidas, you could select any club and get money. Tiger Woods 2005 will probably be better, so try that one out before anything.

The game is way too easy. It is very difficult to miss a fairway. Chip shots stop unrealistically quick. Putting simple as well. Graphics are great though. A good looking game but not realistic.

Cheap Iron Man - Xbox 360

the good-

big levels

good replay value

good powers

the bad-

sub par graphics(terrible at times)

bad sound quality on the battlefield

no lock on system

bad enemy ai

-(you can hide behind a rock and they seem to forget they even saw you)

----------------------------------------------

they really get the feel of iron man down in this game, probably better than any other superhero game, besides of course Spiderman 1-3 and Incredible Hulk Ulitmate Destruction. you can hover, fly, use turbo thrusters for high-speed flight. you have various long range attacks from small lazers to the uni-beam. to those of you who arent familiar, its a huge beam that shoots from the circle on his chest, usually obliterating all in its path. you can also take great advantage of Iron Man's strength, ripping helicopters and tanks in half. you can also upgrade and customize all abilities.

the controls could've been a little more solid, but they're far beyond those of Superman the game, which is really the only base for comparison. there are very few games out there utilizing such an epic powerset. Marvel Ultimate Alliance(as amazing as it is) doesnt really count, its more of a dungeon crawler. a lock on system would've made combat a lot more headache-free. especially against the fighter jets.

in the end, its the only game that truly makes you feel like Iron Man. its honestly epic in every way, there were just a few bad design choices and a rushed release, which would explain the poor enviromental graphics(iron man himself looks good)

so any fan of Iron Man, or super heroes in general should try it. DEFFINITELY RENT before buying. just dont set your hopes too high.

The demo of IronMan was quite entertaining and fun. It didn't take long to get the hang of the flying controlls and the action was implemented quite well. The graphics were not the most impressive I have seen but the demo got me excited enough to buy the game. The opening sequence of the game where Stark builds his first nonflyable suit was good, but after that it went into a "training sequence" to aquaint you with flying and your "super powers" and everything was going so so till I was to grab hold of drones and shown a red button, well I did it but it kept doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over. Basically this has taken a lot of oomph out the game and made me wonder if Sega used playtesters or beta testers to critique repeitive parts like this. I had hopes that IronMan would be the exception to movie tie in games and I think I was wrong. So if you want to avoid frustation you may want to rent it before plunking down the full monty. If the game experience was at least as good as the demo it might have been a different story for me. I don't like to pay to be frustrated

This game has been getting a lot of flak lately. Some of it is deserved (the environmental graphics do leave a little to desire, especially since Iron man himself is so well rendered) but there is fun to be had here. To be sure, there are times when the game gets frustrating because it's so hard (I played through the first time on medium difficulty) but as time goes by you realize you have to use your brain in a lot of levels and not just try to blast through them. This involves a lot of dodging and ducking and hiding between objects and choosing your shots. Once you master this the game gets much easier. I suggest using the easy mode if you're looking for a more casual experience.

I've completed the whole game and really have to say it's fun in a fairly mindless way. Sure, the missions do become a bit repetitive in that you're usually going to point A to blow something up and then point B to blow up something else, but the locales are varied. And the actual act of flying around and blowing stuff up in various ways is very fun. In a way, it's not that different from a game like Katamari, where you're basically performing the same task in different places. In this way, it harkens back to some of the more old-school games and is probably best appreciated this way, as the story is somewhat negligible.

The ability to unlock suits is fun, however be warned if you go through a second run of the game be sure to unlock any suits you didn't get to the first time before restarting! If you don't, all the suits in the One Man Army games go back to their original, unmodified versions and it makes it much harder. I learned this the hard way.

This will never win any awards, but it can be vicarious fun.

Honest reviews on Iron Man - Xbox 360

Whenever there's a big budget movie on the horizon, especially one adapted from a comic book, you can almost always bet on a video game tie-in being somewhere in the distance as well. Well, here's Iron Man, and yes, it is nothing else but another lame cash-in attempt that fails to do its comic and movie counterparts any kind of justice. Playing as 'ol shellhead, you take down wave after wave of baddies, with an occasional boss battle thrown in now and then for good measure. Naturally, what kills Iron Man is the fact that the game as a whole is a tedious bore. You have objectives, you take down the bad guys, etc, etc. The whole game is just so repetitive that it pretty much kills anything good about it. Combine this with some frustrating controls and disappointing graphics (and some just plain awful cut-scenes), and you get what we have here. There are some good points to be found, including the fact that the moments of flying around are pretty okay, there's unlockable extra armors, and film stars Robert Downey Jr. and Terrance Howard provide their own voices as well. All in all, whether you are a fan of the comic or the film, the Iron Man video game may be worth a look, but in the end, the game is best left on the shelf.

Bought this since I liked the movie and was very dissapointed in the game...barely follows it at all and plays horribly.

Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I absolutely love Cave's bullet hell games and I nearly got em all for Xbox360

So here is a little review for Ketsui.

This game is real hard, at least for me and I 1cc DDP BL so yeah.

To everyone who loves shmups go and buy it, its worth every cent, you can learn your route through the bullet hell(heaven) and make it to the finish.

The level design is lovely, IGS style, many enemies coming down the way and there are no noticeable slowdown though the game.

The music is metalish and just perfect for this military designed shmup.

Replay value is medium to high.

If you're into shmups go buy it.

Discount POWER A DualShock 4 Controller Charging Station for PlayStation 4

Customer Ratings:

Bought this the other day with my PS4. It looked like the officially sanctioned version, so I thought I'd go for it. I still think it is official, the boxing etc. is exactly the same as the other accessories (camera, controller etc.). A couple things I love about it:

-It comes with an AC cord to plug into the wall, so it doesn't take up a USB spot on the PS4

-It's a great place to simply hang your controllers, without charging them if you want (leave the cradle in the 'up' position)

-If you want to charge it, press the controller down, and the cradle drops a little allowing the charging bit to go in the controller and start charging.

I always hate things that charge ALL the time as it ends up conditioning the battery for shorter work sessions. With this, it allows me to have a spot to hang my controllers without worry about charging when I want, then when they are in need of some juice you can press them down.

So far, they've been doing great.

It is pretty solid. I am very happy with this charger stand. They have made some great improvements over the PS3 DualShock Charging station. No adapters required.

This stand has two positions, so, you can just store your controller without charging it. It is very simple to use. Just click into place, then the controller light comes on and stays on till it is done charging. Once it is done, the light on the controller shuts off.

Works as expected. I can get both controllers charged in a little under 2 hours. It's small and compact, and I love the fact that it has a push release that holds the controllers in place.

Honest reviews on POWER A DualShock 4 Controller Charging Station for PlayStation 4

This is nice and secure for putting the controllers into the dock and getting them charged. The power cord tucks nicely into the base so it all sits level. Overall, it does what it should and the clicking in and undocking of the controllers is very smooth. It's also compact and doesn't take up a ton of room. The controller itself tells you when it's charged, so there are no annoying blue or red lights that glow when it's on, just the controllers.

This product is great. I purchased it along with a dualshock 4 before the PS4 came out. I was a little nervous about the spring mechanism where basically you put the controller on the charger, and to complete the connection and begin charging, you push the spring-loaded connector downwards and it locks in.

It charges my controllers quickly and displays a yellow color on the controller's lightbar to show that it's charging. As soon as the charging finishes, the light goes off. Charges my controllers quickly, takes up very little to no space, and looks great too! As soon as you realize that the controllers have to be totally vertical for them to click in, plugging them in without light or in the dark is no problem, and it's not a problem to do it one-handed either.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars instead of 4, is because I feel that the entire thing is a little lightweight. You want this not to move and to be a (slightly) heavy and solid piece of equipment. It's made of 100% plastic, looks great, and functions just fine, however if it had a bit more of a solid feel to it, I'd be glad to change this to a 5 star review.

Overall it's a great charger.

Reviews of Unreal Tournament III - Xbox 360

Customer Ratings:

UT3 is probably the fastest FPS on the consoles at this time. With lightning fast gameplay and stunning visuals. 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 the best looking,best performing game currently on the 360 to date.

With the addition of 5 New Maps for the 360 version, 3 of which are wholly new and 2 are reinvisioned versions of the PS3/PC version with Necris themes. All of the maps look quite good and some are fantastic looking.

I've noticed that they improved the 360's version , by tweaking the core controls with a 'minor' aim assist , I noticed that the bullets track a little better and behave more realisticly. I don't prefer aim assist myself ,BUT , I will say the 360 version is the most refined version yet ,aside from the HUGE GAP ,of not supporting user created mods, it is the most polished port.

The split-screen is fun,if your into that, UT3 360 supports split-screen online multi,co-op,local,and System Link. (no split-screen ranked matches though)

All DLC that's available for the PS3 is included in the 360 version (ASIDE FROM USER created mods)

(If your still into UT 'fast twitch'style gameplay)

The multiplayer is liquid fast and fun, with Game Modes DeathMatch ,Team DeathMatch,CTF,Vehicle CTF,Duel, and last but not least Warfare which is a team based mode involving Capturing and linking together 'nodes' with your orbs ,so you can destroy the enemies core. Warfare adds a little strategy to the twitch gameplay mechanics of UT3.

UT3 is so fast,so frenetic , you'll barely have time to come up for air .

I was playing UT3 for about 7 hours and didn't even realize it, there's definitely no down times in UT3.

The single player campaign ,is little more than glorified BOT matches, but that's not such a bad thing as the enemy AI are really about as close as you can get to real humans, (sometimes better) especially on the harder settings.

There isn't much of a story in the campaign,but that's ok I don't wanna watch a bunch of mini-movies anyways. But It would've been nice to have a deeper 'in-game' story mode,instead you get the occasional little cutscenes in between matches. AT least you have access to all online matches offline as well. Some of the MAPS are absolutley stunning as you progress into the game,these maps by far look superior to just about any game on the 360. There were quite a few 'jaw dropping' moments in the maps. When EPIC said in there early interviews with various magazines that UT3 'makes Gears look ugly' , They weren't kidding. But the comparison ends there,don't expect a Gears style cover system. UT3 is pure unadulterated lightning fast gameplay. I can't get over how fast this game performs. Other games like Gears,RSV, move at snails pace compared to this game,its insanely fast. You know some games slow down your player to help the graphics perform better, BUT UT3 , turns the dial past 11 and it still looks smooth as butter.

Switching weapons are mapped to the RB and LB respectively and of course all have some form of alternate fire (LT),

at first I would've preferred a quicker layout of weapon toggle, BUT , the controls are really easy for any 360 FPS veteran ,you shouldn't have any problems jumping right in and playing.

The vehicles all drive and perform closely to Halo's Warthog ,there quite easy and intuitive as well ,with a little learning curve ,that's a perfect time to check out the campaign's offline BOT matches to hone up your skills for online.Especially sharpening your skills for capturing nodes and learning the best routes in the maps.There's also tons of unique flying vehicles .

UT3 is a fantastic game on the 360 ,with the only real downside to the 360 version is the lack of 'user created mods' and the lack of a 'real' story in the campaign , BUT THERE IS TONS of game content offline with the BOTS.

I've seen from interviews from EPIC you can expect some solution for user created mods most likely in the form of DLC ? who knows? . But the 360 is so meaty ,so full of game content it really is an exciting game and the lack of user created mods should'nt detour you from picking up a copy for yourself. If your looking for a deep single player story campaign and don't have LIVE access I would suggest renting it first, as there's no real deep story here ,BUT , even offline the BOT matches can be fun. There's just no match though for human counterparts online,UT3 true shining feature is the Multi-player and it's one of the best looking ,best performing games on the 360 to date, if not THE BEST.

I got through the camapaign's single player in about 17 hours. I gotta admit the BOTS are extremely impressive on the harder settings and you get (8) difficulty settings from Novice to Godlike. Trust me these BOTS will test even the most skilled players. You can even play 'instant action' offline ,and manually set Bot skill levels,number of combatants,Goal Score,Time Limit,Opposing Bot Faction,and Force Respawn toggle. WOW what can I say ,stuff usually reserved for online play only is ALL available to the non-LIVE players. Very nice indeed.

Overall UT3 is much better than I had expected. EPIC really knows what there doing when it comes to Unreal Tournament style gameplay and they tweaked the 360 to its maxium limits and to my surprise ,the game is exceptionally smooth,clean,and fast paced with out so much as a hiccup or a very rare framedrop on the 360. Definitley pick this game up a very,very solid FPS.

PEACE

Ahhh! Finally a 360 game that measures up to the original PC version of Unreal Tournament. It's lightening fast, gorgeous, and like greeting an old friend.

All the UT favorite weapons are here, the nuclear redeemer, sniper rifle, shock rifle, flak cannon, and bio gun. Sadly the only one that's missing is The Ripper, which used to shoot saw blades and had an alternate fire option that would let you bounce them off walls and around corners. As in the PC version the Redeemer can be fired guided or unguided, and you bet you can use the alt fire on a shock rifle to launch a ball of plasma that you can then shoot to cause an explosion.

The game includes many multiplayer maps to choose from including an updated version of the classic Deck 16! You can play these via system link or on Xbox Live. Maps are beautiful in HD and play like greased lightening on Live. No more tactical sorts of slow moving action or rechargeable shields. Its a welcome return to old school twitch gaming previously only seen on the PC. You need to earn your armor and fight for health packs to stay alive. There's many game types to have hours and hours of fun which including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF and a couple of new variations like "Warfare" and a one on one "Duel" mode.

The interface for multipayer hosting is very much like the original Unreal Tournament where you can make a subset of the list of maps and arrange them in any order you'd like to play them in and the game will automatically queue them up. The manual also mentions being able to add "Mutators" to the game, like the original, though I've not played with that option yet.

UT3 also includes a single player campaign that can be played either as a single player or in a co-op format with friends. For the most part the campaign mode is designed as a collection of the different multiplayer game formats and more like a tutorial on how to play the different game types simulating online play with bots. It's fun but it's not where the real action in UT3 is, which is online multiplayer playing against real thinking people. You will, however, learn about many of the new game types and features like the numerous new vehicles that are available. There are flying craft, tanks, and even war of the worlds style tripod walkers.

Graphically the game has a similar look to Gears of War, but is much cleaner and sharper. Depth of picture on a 1080i HDTV is amazing. I've played on Live with my settings all set to max and encountered no issues with frame rates or slowing. Like the original PC version it runs like greased lightening but also looks amazing.

If you're into old school, high action, fast paced, online multiplayer fragfests THIS is the game for you. If you're into slower paced duck and cover strategy gameplay this probably won't be for you. Fans of the original Unreal Tournament will enjoy it.

Honest reviews on Unreal Tournament III - Xbox 360

It seems that most people I've talked too are/were very familiar with all of the old computer versions of Unreal. But my review is for the Xbox 360, which, like many of us, had never played any version up until buying this one for the 360.

This game will have you hooked. It is super fun, and the gameplay on plasmas and lcd screens is amazing. There are LOTS of things to do, including the main campaign, and random fun instant action levels.

NOTE: The best part about this game is that the initial campaign is basically just a training mode to get you online (great idea!). The game is designed for online play. So, by just going through the campaign and having fun, you are now ready to hook up Xbox live and you'll fit right in.

The 1up.com review of a "C" grade is absurd, and I've read it. If only because every reviewer is comparing it to all the other releases dating back years and years. As a new player to this great xbox 360 game, I was very impressed.

IMO, this beats Halo 3 in a heartbeat. Why? Because there are, among others, two specific 'mutators' (which modify the game play) that you can turn on together. One is Speed Freak, and the other in Low Gravity. Now, imagine this. Playing the fastest Xbox 360 character ever made, and then being able to jump the equivalent of about 300 feet in the air while looking down at flying machines, tanks, other aliens and firing your crazy alien gun at everything! THAT is what I call fun. I put Halo 3 away, and simply love hosting matches with these mutators on.

This is by far one of the years most underrated games, without a doubt. The 'maps' that you can play are beautiful. There's something for everybody here, trust me.

Kids LOVE it! (Forget the M rating, it's ridiculous, and based on a few bad words ONLY in the campaign) And older dads will love this too. Plus, the best part is that there are no Halo 3 GODS for the most part. Meaning that when you join Halo 3 online, you usually get clobbered. With Unreal Tournament 3, I've met some of the nicer people online, and there is plenty of space for the average gamer to grow his/her talent, including the BOTS that you can set up in "Novice" mode to help you along.

This is a GREAT game, and I only wish the gamer magazines would've reviewed this with fresh eyes specifically for the Xbox 360.

I'll admit I was waiting for the Xbox 360 verson because all my friends have Live. Of course, this game is optimal on PC, but it is still pretty darn awesome on Xbox.

I've been a big Unreal fan since the first game, and this one doesn't disappoint. As the previous reviewer said, the graphics are stunning in 1080p and I have noticed no texture pop-in or frame rate hiccups in the single player campaign. Online, I've found a few games that lag a bit, but the great thing is that Epic hosts dedicated servers for this game. Those don't lag at all, and that's just friggin' sweet.

I adjusted the turn sensitivity all the way up and this game is smokin' fast. The action is nonstop and plays out at a breakneck pace online. This is the fastest FPS you'll ever play on a console and the whole thing runs without a single hiccup. Epic did an awesome job optimizing this for 360.

The controls are almost flawless. The only things I don't like are that (1) you have to hold the D-pad right to voice chat. That's a pain when the pace is so fast, and (2) you can only cycle weapons forward (using RB). The LB brings up a radial menu that you can select weapons from, but again, with the pace as fast as it is, this will get you fragged over and over again. You'll just be mashing the RB as you cycle through weapons. Let's just hope that you don't miss that Flak cannon because if you do, you'll be cycling through them all again.

Online is the way to play, as the single player campaign is dry and little more than a series of tutorials. The warfare mode is totally awesome online. This is the mode to play. Also Vehicle Capture the Flag is freakin' sweet too. Team deathmatch is my favorite. Matches go to 300 kills and when you've got 16 people fragging each other on a small map the action is literally non-stop.

Sucks that there's no Modding or User Generated Content, but I'm sure there will be DLC on the marketplace. Epic even said they might develop and release the most popular maps that users have generated. I'm not holding my breath for that, but I'm sure there will be at least some DLC, and there are alread tons of maps to play.

Final words: Buy it, and meet me online.
