I am a huge Gears of War fan. I also use my xbox a lot. So when my girlfriend decided she wanted an xbox, I took the opportunity to upgrade mine so she could inherit my 250gb s model. I picked up the 320gb Gears model. It was a little confusing at first trying to figure what cable I would need to perform a slim to slim data migration. The good people at microsoft support told me what I needed and the AWESOME people on amazon's forums confirmed that this was the correct cable.

The data migration itself is very simple. First plug your new xbox into your tv. Next remove your old hard drive. Then plug one end of the transfer cable into your new USB port and the other end into your old hdd. The screen will automatically prompt you to select what you want to transfer. Finally I went to xbox webpage and searched the license transfer. A few clicks later, my Gears console is loaded with all my movies, music, game saves, game downloads, etc and my girlfriend has a pristine xbox to watch Netflix with (and play Gears!!).

The most difficult part of the process was finding where the slim hdd release was located (a small well disguised latch on the bottom of the xbox). If you can't find the hdd, there are good YouTube tutorials for that.

This cable is good for any transfer between any two xbox 360 consoles.

A word of caution for anyone who needs to transfer over their memory from one Xbox to another; This item will absolutely transfer that memory, but if you or someone you know is planning on still using the memory on that old Xbox then they will no longer have it after the transfer is complete.

With this item there is no copy option, no select these items and copy option, just pick what you want transferred and it will do it. Ironically that's what it is made for, but alas copying information would have been a nice addition to a solid product.

Just realize and note that if you or someone you know plans on keeping the information on that other Xbox you may want to invest in a large GB flash drive instead which has the ability to copy.

This newer Xbox 360 hard drive transfer kit is built well and extremely easy to use. Whether you have a new or old 360, the hard drive plugs in without a hitch, and it can then be used as an external drive to copy data to a different console.

The thing that makes this device well worth the money is that it's not just for the 360 -ANY 2.5-inch laptop hard drive can be connected to it, allowing you to make any drive external. This eliminates the need for a casing of some kind with screws and other small pieces that can get lost easily. Even if you don't have a 360, this is worth the price just to keep it with your PC hardware in case it's needed in the future.

I found it was very easy to use this cable. I transferred about 100 GB from my old 250 GB S Console drive to a new 320 GB S Console drive. I don't remember exactly how long it took but it was probably an hour or longer. The instructions mention that when you plug in the cable and turn your Xbox on you should see a message pop up asking if you want to transfer data using the cable. My Xbox took a really long time to display this message. I actually was able to get to my system settings in my Xbox and start the transfer process before my Xbox ever detected the cable and displayed the message.

This cable will not allow you to transfer any games you have installed on your old hard drive to a new one. You'll have to re-install the games onto your new hard drive using your Xbox console.

Buy Aliens Vs. Predator: Extinction

Customer Ratings:

Aliens vs Predator Extinction is a StarCraft style game pitting the human marines against the classic sci-fi monsters Aliens and Predators. Three separate campaigns await!

There are 7 missions per group, and 20 maps that you explore. Sometimes you are the marines, trying to defend your base against the onslaught of nasties. Sometimes you are the aliens, carefully tending to your nest of eggs and developing a new queen. Each group has its own growth trees, its advancements and goals.

The graphics are good but not excellent. The maps are sometimes quite on the plain side endless caves, endless jungles. The sound is reasonably good and does give you a spooky feeling sometimes, worrying what might be around the next corner.

None of the groups are easy to play, and the game is definitely not an arcade-style shoot-em-up. You have to lay down a well thought out strategy, using each of your unit types to its best advantage, if you're going to win. Anyone who has seen the movies knows that whatever side you're on, there are usually overwhelming odds stacked up against you that usually leave only one man standing. The game is no exception. Don't expect an easy mow-down-the-enemy game. Whichever side you play, you're going to have to play WELL to move along.

I realize that plots are usually rather transparent in these games, but I do still like them. I was disappointed with the plot and cutscenes in here you get a brief 'do this' description in the beginning and if you win, you win. I would really have loved some cinematics to show what was happening and to give you a sense of satisfaction when you win the game. To just have it say "OK, campaign done." wasn't very much fun after many hours of playing.

Probably the most disappointing part was the complete lack of multiplay. We often have friends over the house to play games with us, and this one was a sit-and-watch game only. You can't multiplay in the same house. You can't multiplay over XBox Live. And since there are only 7 missions per group, once you finish those missions, the game is completely over. That's rather short for us we enjoy games that we play for months and months, unlocking new features and missions and playing multiplay. To have a game that just ends after a week of play seems rather short.

A great game for a sci-fi and StarCraft style strategy fan, but be ready to sell it back to the game store for their used shelves when you're done.

First let me start off by saying I absolutely love the Aliens vs. Predator franchise. Its probably one of the best ideas that had ever been conceived. Pitting two of the most popular movie monsters of all time against one another in a fight to the death...what could be more fun? Well, unlike the other Aliens vs.Predator games, AvP:Extinction breaks the First Person Shooter criteria and comes in with a Real-Time Strategy game. Its a nice attempt, but ultimately flawed.

The graphics in the game are sub-par...as far as a strategy game goes they're decent, but just very average...clearly nowhere near the caliber of Warcraft III or Command and Conquer: Generals. However, examining the creatures up close yields further distortions in graphics. Some of the aliens look ridiculous, and the Predators look just plain silly. The design is very cartoonish, just like Aliens vs. Predator 2 for the PC, which many people complained about. The environments are also very drab and dull...nothing really stands out. Some of the jungle environments are nice, but most of the environments, such as interior settings and caves, are just lifeless and boring.

The game itself is very simplistic. While creating endless droves of Aliens is alot of fun, the whole game just lacks substance. Aliens use the Queen to lay eggs, and drag back hosts that they killed (or more likely, just invaded and nearly wiped out your colony the moment the mission started). The Queen is basically the epicenter of the hive...you purchase all upgrades by selecting her, and using 'currency' earned by killing your enemies, you can upgrade your aliens. The basic Alien species are there: the warrior, the drone, the dog alien from Alien 3, the praetorian introduced in the AvP games, and new Aliens called 'Ravagers', which are huge, monstrous aliens with blades for hands that rend and maim opponents. The 'Carrier' is a large Alien that allows facehuggers to attach to its dorsal spines and leap out at enemies as you go. Nice ideas, though the creatures themselves look uninspired. All the aliens have unique abilities, and playing as them was an overall fine experience, but the game is just not executed well.

As for Predators, you are very limited in forces, which is understandable considering how powerful they are. The only building they have is the 'Shrine', where upgrades can be purchased and new Predators summoned. All the Predators have unique abilities and weapons, though some of them look uterly ridiculous...one Predator has a scythe, and it just doesn't go well with the whole Predator look. Cloaking is utterly useless, since it seems that everyone and everything can see you regardless. Predators earn curency by killing, as well as taking trophy skulls of their enemies.

Marines are simple enough to use, though difficult to play. The 'CommTech' is used to purchase upgrades and summon more units from the dropship. If the commtech is killed, you're out of luck. Some of the humans are immensely powerful, which throws the balance of the game off alot. The marines don't have any structures of any kind, just one landing beacon where the drop ship lands. Marines earn currency by fixing 'Atmos' which generate steady income. They must be defended, since Aliens and Predators will try to destroy these every chance they get.

The game is unbeleivably difficult...it should be the Aliens that come in countless swarms...not marines and Predators. The final Alien mission is infuriating...the moment the mission starts out, you are attacked by all three sides (Marine, Predator, Mutant Aliens) and they don't attack each other...they attack you. Some of the earliest Predator missions open up right into the middle of a fire fight...the Predators should be able to decimate marines but the endless swarm of marines and their incredibly strong fire power are too much. The game can end before you even get out of the starting area. As for marines...forget it. Aliens and Predators swarm you so much you won't even know whats going on half the time.

Overall, the game's biggest fault is that it was designed narrowly...with the consoles in mind. All the races, while characteristically different, are fundamentally the same. None have any structures, other than the main population center (Queen, Shrine, Landing Beacon). The game is somewhat unbalanced, with some units just being far too powerful. The idea of Alien procreation is good and is probably one of the best aspects of the game, but this game is just far too basic of an RTS. Perhaps its biggest fault is the complete lack of Multi-player and custom missions. Once you beat the game, that's it. You're done. There is nothing else to do, unless you want to try for a 'medal' by fulfilling all mission requirements in a certain amount of time. The game is virtually devoid of extras, and there are no ending cinematics...when you beat a campaign...that's it...you're just done. You won. Nothing else. There is no downloadable content or anything else...this is strictly a one-player strategy game that, once beaten, has absolutely nothing else going for it. This was a decent attempt to expand the Aliens vs. Predator franchise into a new game genre...but it fails. Perhaps they should've paid more attention to existing strategy games...its utter lack of options and extras throws this game back almost ten years...compared to other RTS games, it is basic and completely mediocre. The game was fun, but it took only about 2 or 3 days to complete, and playing it anymore beyond that became pointless, because there was nothing else to do.

This just further proves that RTS games belong on PCs, not consoles. Had this game been released for the PC, with multi-player options, extra content, and a better game engine overall, then this would have been a winner. As it stands, it was a decent but failed attempt.

Best Deals for Aliens Vs. Predator: Extinction

Okay, I am kind of hesitant playing a strategy game without a mouse, but this game's system is actually really easy to learn and use. All three species very, which keeps you hooked after the first few missions. I would like to say that since each side varies so much, that each side would be really different to play, but it isn't so. You still need large numbers to accomplish much in this game. The upgrades are nice and inventive, and the Predators ripping the heads off of their kills is priceless! The sound effect for that particular event is great.

I did like the soundtrack, even though there was very few background tracks total.

Over all, the game is very hard. But it does have it's perks, and if you can't afford a computer and still love strategy games, this one will definetly fill your plate.

Review of Chulip - PlayStation 2

Customer Ratings:

Chulip is a very interesting game. It's a completely different concept than anything else I've EVER played before, but in a good way. You play as a boy trying to win the girl of his dreams. Earning the trust of the locals means kissing them, and that's a lot of the game.

Positives of the game include that the overall feel of the game is a nice one, and the graphics, though not utterly amazing and realistic, fit the game to a T. The characters are all a little on the weird side, but that's one of the reasons that the game is funny. Earning some of the kisses require you to do odd things, like play on the (very dangerous, as the sign says) playground equipment in the park, riding to all of the train stations, and running out of the bath-house without your clothes on.

A definite con, if you ask me, is that when you're out past curfew (in the town only) and get caught, you are shot and it's game over. However, some of the kisses require you to go out at night, so it adds a little more challenge to the game. Also, because the main character is so poor, it's a little hard to maintain and earn money in the game. Your main source of income is digging in trashcans, where you can find many things from sweet potatoes to poo (which has value in Chulip, oddly enough).

All in all, it's a great game, and I would easily recommend it. Though it's not too bad, you might want to pay attention to the fact that it's "T" for "Teen"

The concept of Chulip is not to beat your enemies up to a pulp, but to simply kiss them. Yes, kiss them. That is what I love the most about this game: It's very innocent and yet also probably one of the most challenging games I've ever played. This game proves that it's not easy to kiss someone. This game will definitely have you addicted. I bought this on a whim because it was so cheap and I've never regretted it ever since.

I really love this game. It is by far the weirdest game I have ever played (and I have played a lot of games!). I mean it, every time I describe this game to someone, they look at me with one eyebrow raised and say "no, you're just kidding." They can never believe that this game is just THAT weird.

**Sorta SPOILER ALERT!!** ("Sorta" because these are things you find out very very soon after starting the game)

Okay, so you go around kissing everyone. And I mean *everyone!!* This includes a lion statue, a dinosaur, and a lady with an onion for a head. In order to complete the game, you truly need to kiss everyone.

You go around streaking, smoke cigarettes (this kid is 13), and disobey the town's curfew. Oh, and if you get caught after curfew by the cop, he shoots you. And I don't mean like a warning shot because he is surprised, he aims at you until you die.

The playground tries to kill you, too.

Also, at night, be careful of the demon doctor. He has a massive needle with him and goes around trying to take all of your blood.

Basically, everything in this game is out to get you (everything!!).

**END OF SPOILERS**

This game is wonderful. It is the most unique, interesting, and creative game ever. The sound effects are infectious, and they're so amusing and strange. They fit perfectly. The game teaches you very clearly how to play the game, but the "puzzles" are quite complex and difficult to figure out. I would've lowered this game's score for this (it is insane how obscure the puzzles are, and it's just a guessing game) if the instruction booklet didn't come with every single answer in it. I have used it quite a lot, and it has everything. This includes every map and secret in the entire game. I assume they knew how complicated this game was, and that they would drive a lot of people to insanity if they did not provide a cheat sheet.

The only reason I took one star off of this score is because there is only one thing to do. It takes a very long time to complete, but it gets a tad repetitive after a while.

All in all, this game is a true gem and I recommend it highly to true video game fans. If you like some games, but are picky, then I strongly suggest you look at something less unusual.

Honest reviews on Chulip - PlayStation 2

It's straight outta Japan, so it's kinda freaky plot-wise. You and your dad move to some town where you are expected to kiss a bunch of people to build your reputation. Strange, but it's fun to play to get a few laughs with a some friends if you have nothing better to do.

Reviews of Xbox 360 LIVE 4000 Points

Customer Ratings:

First off, I'm an otherwise very happy Xbox Live Gold member. Instead of buying a points card from a retailer, I made the mistake of buying the points online from Microsoft through the Xbox. I used my gamer tag account and entered my credit card on the TV and I bought 500 points. I got the email confirmation that I bought the points. I then used the points. So far so good.

Over the next two days, four other Xbox charges totaling $30 mysteriously appeared on my credit card. Someone bought more points and a game subscription using my credit card info. I called Xbox Live supporttheir answer was "we don't give refunds." I explained that it's not a REFUND if my account is used fradulently. They still said no.

Note that clearly the security leak was with them, as no other fraudulent charges appeared on my credit card...just Xbox charges.

I then asked them to delete my credit card info from my Xbox Live account. They said they could not do this. I could not believe this! Given that someone had access to my credit card and they were unwilling to remove my credit card info, I had no choice but to cancel my credit card.

My advicebuy the points from a trusted source like Amazon. Don't ever give Microsoft direct access to your credit card info. I hope this helps.

This is a lot better than doing it through your xbox. For one, no tax. The other reason, for me at least, is that if you put your credit card into xbox live, you cant remove it. You can change it, but it will always have a credit card on file. Buying these points through xbox live would have cost me $54.12. I would rather save that $4.12, thank you.

I've lived overseas in Europe for the past 8 years working with the military. The thing about Xbox live is that they dont accept APO address's for the credit card (Armed Forces Overseas address). Now i can order the code in 5 seconds instead of having to buy a card and have it shipped to me. Thankyou sooooo much Amazon.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 LIVE 4000 Points

This is a great denomination to release Microsoft points in. Since most games on Xbox Live Arcade are purchased in 400 point ($5) increments this card give you the ability to download ten 400 point games or five 800 point games or some other combination (you get the idea). $50 is also a much more acceptable amount than the $62.50 for 5000 points. Since this is on a card it makes this possible to give as a gift or buy without using a credit card. This would be a worthwhile purchase for anyone with an Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.

These reviews show up on the list for all four options, the one, three, and twelve month subscriptions, as well as the marketplace points. Carefully choose the "Size" above, which is where you choose between live "gold" months and marketplace points. Amazon just put all of these different products onto the same page, calling them different sizes.

There is of course a difference between months and points, as you can spend points without a gold subscription (just use the free included "silver" subscription with every XBOX 360), and you can certainly buy gold months without having to get any extra points. So one is not required for the other. The points get you extra content downloads, and the months get you online play time.

Review of Borderlands 2 Mechromancer Pack

Customer Ratings:

(While I played bd2, I played Axton, Zero, Maya, Salvador and Gaige all the way to lvl 50. my total playtime is 330 hours)

To be honest, when I heard about this character I thought it was a cheap copy of Axton with flying turret. I was wrong

She isn't a cheap copy. In fact, I gotta say her skill tree is perhaps the most impressive, fun, and complicated one I have ever seen.

Up for some challenge? Well, here you go!

Best Friends Forever

-the key feature of this tree is making Deathtrap (and you too) harder to kill with additional damage resistance, health, and even a copy of Gaige's shield when maxed out. Also, the tree has a decrease cool down ability that is really helpful since Gaige's skill cool down is way too long (1minute). There are 2 skills in this tree that is a MUST if you decided to go for BFF.

-Close enough: make your missed bullets bounce back to enemies-->good for beginners with trouble with aiming, or even for pros hiding behind cover and shooting at walls for safe, effective attack.

-Explosive Clap: what it says. makes DT drop some heavy AOE explosive damage that deals a moderate amount of damage along with an pulse that pushes enemies around.

Little big trouble

-this tree is often overlooked/ignored for good reasons. This tree focuses on you and DT dealing additional ELECTRIC damage. Although the additional shield capacity for Gaige, and some AOE electric burst every time you reload is pretty cool looking, the element electricity itself is really under powered in borderlands 2 in general compared to fire/corrosive/explosive. Cool looking, but not practical.

-The stacks you get for not attacking for a short time/critical hit bonus, however, could work if you are looking for a sniper play with DT acting as an initiator/tank. Even though Zero was MADE for sniper, I found Gaige with some mastery in this skill tree quite useful when sniping.

ANARCHY

-ah...the signature skill tree of Gaige, and perhaps the most fun/hardcore skill tree in existent yet. This, I believe, is where the fun from playing Gaige comes from. The key feature of this skill tree is very simple: every time you score a kill or reload while in combat you gain stacks that increases your gun damage in trade for accuracy (this tree is not good for snipers). This may sound easy, but it really is ridiculous since it takes a while to collect enough stacks to really make Anarchy shine, while it is one hella easy to suddenly lose all your stacks.

-This skill does have a melee override skill but it sucks really bad.

Gaige pack is a good choice for both solo players and co-op players looking for something new. She might seem a bit under-powered in early game due to her weak robot and insanely high cool-down rate (1 min...the longest CD in borderlands), but I can promise you that you won't be disappointed. Mix up your skill tree. Fight as a sniper or a tank or whatever the heck you want. Your robot got many skills under its sleaves, and so do you. Go use them!

A little tip to maximize your fun, is that since her ultimate skills on each skill tree are somewhat useless, you need to carefully invest points in each tree just to a point of necessity for maximum efficieny.

Gaige's most important and effective skills are usually located at the beginning point of the skill tree.

Me? I invested most points on anarchy but stopped before the Nth bullet, and invested some points on BFF tree for more HP/Defense.

!!!A couple things you should take into account before you purchase!!!

-In BFF the shield recharge skill for DT sometimes glitches, making DT charge your enemy' shield or try to charge your shield even when you are

in the fight-for-your-life state. Still, works properly in most cases.

-DT's AI seems to be having a hard time using multiple active skills.

-The relic is total junk, along with gearbox guns and 2 keys. (You can get keys for free by following Gearbox in twitter)

Gaige and her robot are awesome ! Plus this pack gives you the pre-order bonus guns, relic, and a Golden Key. Make sure you sign up for the SHIFT account under extras in the menu. When you do you will recieve another gold key. These codes still work at the time of this writing.

Honest reviews on Borderlands 2 Mechromancer Pack

This is a nice addition to the game. Her ability works similarly to a moving turret, mowing down enemies with total disregard to what you are doing. You do have to play the same game again to level her up, so if repetition is something you don't enjoy, this probably isn't for you. I play with my friends online and rarely play alone, so that's what makes this game have replay value for me. I gave it four stars because it was fun and inexpensive, but not five stars because it really didn't blow me away. I would say if you have a couple of extra bucks to spare and would like to kill some time, this is not a bad way to do it.

Discount Gel Tabz Universal Silicon Grip

Customer Ratings:

I was hesitant to buy these after seeing reviews mentioning "riding up", "comes right off", and needing "permanent superglue" (yikes!), but I am really glad I gave them a try. Simply put, these things are great! I've had them on my 360 controllers for 2 weeks now, and I will never go back to the stock 360 thumbsticks. I haven't tried them on PS3 controllers yet, so my review is primarily for Xbox 360 use.

Installation: This was a breeze. Invert, place on top of the regular thumbstick, then flip the sides down.

Fit: VERY snug fit on my official 360 controllers. They never move during play (and no, I didn't use any superglue!) In fact, I just tried wildly flailing the sticks around and they still didn't move at all. I don't know why others had trouble I'm curious whether they used aftermarket controllers, or maybe pulled off the original stick coverings before putting these on.

Control/feel: Very comfortable and provides excellent control; precise movements seem easier to make. Each grip has a slightly raised surface with 16 tiny bumps for texture and friction. Also reduces concavity and covers up those 4 big uncomfortable bumps on the 360 sticks (I think those bumps are supposed to be for grip, but they just irritate the skin on my thumbs when I play.)

Overall: A hearty two thumb(stick)s up! Will it double your K/D ratio? Probably not, but for $5 you can hardly go wrong!

Pros:

+ Pleasing to the touch and comfortable to use

+ Gel material provides excellent control for precise movements

+ Fast & easy installation

+ Very snug fit on 360 thumbsticks

+ Reduces concavity and covers the uncomfortable bumps on stock 360 sticks

+ Package includes 2 (black) universal grips for Xbox/Playstation, plus 1 (blue) for the Wii nunchuck

+ Low price

Cons:

Seems to pick up grease from fingers easier than the stock thumbsticks, so keep them clean! (Maybe this is why some found them slippery?)

Clicking in the sticks takes a bit more effort because of the extra gel material

Best Deals for Gel Tabz Universal Silicon Grip

I bought a pack of these online elsewhere and it came with 3 grips, two black ones and a smaller blue one. The black ones are designed for the PS3 and 360 analog sticks while the blue is designed for the Wii Nunchuk (though all 3 can work on any analog stick I believe). The blue one is VERY good for the Nunchuk analog stick which only has one rib on it (unlike the ribbed GC analog stick). The blue Gel Tab has a lot of pronounced bumps which give it a good grip. The black ones are terrible. The bumps are fewer (despite being bigger) and not as raised. I actually found my thumbs slipping more than when I used the PS3 analog sticks without them. That pretty much defeats the purpose of them. I don't think they're necessary for the 360 controller since that has concave analog sticks. I haven't tried since the black ones on a Wii Nunchuk since the blue one is perfect for it.

I'd only recommend this if you really want a grip for your Wii Nunchuk.

I was looking for something to go over the thumbsticks of my 360 controller since my 1 year old son decided to chew off the rubber that was on them. They're pretty easy to put on, they look great, feel great and the price was easy on the wallet. They cover up the exposed plastic on my thumbsticks and now I can play forza 3 without getting a callus on my thumb, and its much cheaper than going out and getting a new controller! I recommend them

Customer Ratings:

I played Skyhawks 1942 back in the ole DOS days when 8ghz was fast, and then played most of the air combat games since then. I really like the graphics and excitement of shooting down the enemy (Or getting shot down). The high learning curve sims like, Janes,

and now DCS Blackshark and the Warthog are great also and I enjoy them too.

The high learn curve games are OK if you want to spend all that time just learning to start the engine or get into the cockpit, but if you want to have real FUN and do it in a reasonable time then I highly recommend this game. After all, this is a computer game, not a military similator. If it weren't for the good ole arcade games, played mostly by a keyboard under a DOS OS, on an 8mghz machine..... All these high learning curve games wouldn't exist. Also, those who make real military similators do not make them available for civilian home use. (They wouldn't be cost effect either,... for the home user).

This game has very nice graphics, you do have instances to land & take off, and you can disable your site reticle if you might be inclined to do so, and you can make it almost impossible to complete a mission, if you would enjoy that. I am 62 years old and I sometimes like to get serious with DCS Blackshark, but I really enjoy Air Conflicts also. It's a good Fun Game that you will enjoy.

You can even choose what side you want to play on. I played a combat flight sim before there was even an internet!

Buy the game! Have some fun! If you are serious about flight games I also recommend DCS Blackshark.

I have seen a few interviewers that actually think they are going to end up at the Air Force Academy or in U.S. Naval flight school by sitting in front of their home computers playing Blackshark or A10 Warthog. WOW, what a world.

I have to say that it's a pretty OK game, at least for the price. Got it on bargain and wanted to use it to try out my PS3definitely worth it. I would say that because you're flying older aircraft the thrill is much higher, since that's when dog-fights were necessary. Controls are super easy to learn, and it lets you focus more on the gameplay than on mechanics. The campaign story is pretty solidalthough there are no cut scenesit's all still comic graphics. But hey, it's not an EA production. =D If you like to fly around without getting too technical, this is a good game to look at.

I was excited to find a flight sim with both WWI & WWII planes for the PS3. I had hoped this would be a mix of Rise of Flight (PC) and IL-2 Sturmovik (PC or PS3) which allow you to customize the gameplay to make it as realistic or arcade like as you prefer. Unfortunately (for me), the customization is minimal and the gameplay is much like an arcade with some wonky flight dynamics and a story thrown in.

The story is told in comic form and fully voiced. Not the best voice acting or story, but still a nice touch.

The graphics and audio are nothing special. There is constant screen tearing regardless if you use 3D mode or not.

It provides 3D gaming which is nice. The text (subtitles & alt/speed) is not done right in 3D and messes with your eyes during missions...otherwise, the 3D effect is pretty well done. I played 2 missions in 3D but preferred non-3D due to the text and comfort.

Online play ... it's in the game, but I tried to find someone to battle online for two nights and found ZERO people. Don't buy this game if you are mostly or even interested in online dogfights.

If you are looking for an arcade plane game with a story and planes from WWI & WWII, then give this a try for cheap. If you are looking for something more realistic or historical, then go with IL-2 Sturmovik or Rise of Flight.

bought this game for my husband, had been looking EVERYWHERE for it and found it readily here. The game itself is beautifuly done, but its quite tricky to master. love playing this and watching husband play it, but still alittle hard for me to enjoy, just not as great as i had hopped. still give it a shot though beautiful, well done game.I give it 5 stars

i was just spoiled by IL2 on the xbox360. so ya, I basically picked it up while waiting for the sequial to IL2, "Birds of Steel".

I understand games are subjective to the person playing, so I cant really fault the previous reviews that rated this game highly. Personally, I kind of found it to be a bit boring. I think the real issue I have with it is it just moves along too slowly. The planes fly slow, the story develops slowly...the whole thing just seems to crawl. Perhaps it is mindful of real planes from the era, but I am not a slow game fan. I cant play Assassins Creed for the same reason. Just paced too slowly for my tastes.

The graphics themselves are sufficient for the game, and the controls are reasonably responsive, but overall, I think this game falls dead center...not horrible, but nothing special. That being said, it is pretty inexpensive, so it might be worth trying it out just to see for yourself.

Review of Nyko Extend Link for Kinect - Xbox 360

Customer Ratings:

I was very skeptical before buying this wire. However, my kinect with my projector is working excellently without any lag. This is the only 15 feet wire available in the market. No more problem for using my kinect with my projector. This has the Kinect customized USB port and NOT the standard flat USB connector. If you have bought Kinect bundle (Xbox and Kinect) then this is what you will need.

I've always wanted to buy a kinect for my xbox360, but the length of the cable it came with seemed to short for my entertainment setup.So One night while searching for a solution to my problem i found this on Amazon.I was a bit hesitant on purchasing this cord because it wasn't made by Microsoft.I went on Gamestop website and looked at another kinect extension cord at about the same cord was coming out on the 18th, when i went into the local store, i asked for a kinect cable and the employee working there walked over with a 2ft extension cable with the price tag of $50.00..I was surprised.So i asked the employee if he had anything that was at least 10-15 ft long, he gave me a very confused face and sputtered out..."why do you need a 15 ft cable for the kinect?" At first i felt it was really none of his business to ask me what the purpose of the cable is. Anyways i told him that i was running it through a Hi-Def projector. I left and ordered this from amazon immediately. This cable works great, there is no lag,everything is nice and fluid. And the LED on the extension lights up when power is going to the kinect which is perfect, i just disconnect the cord half way so i don't have to pull it out of the kinect or my 360, i can leave it in thus..not causing any damage to the ports.

If you have a Kinect and a very interesting entertainment setup..such as a projector..defiantly pull the trigger on this cable..or buy a really long HDMI cable.

All in all great purchase.

Thanks Amazon!

I purchased this to connect the Kinect to the Xbox 360 "slim" I purchased for my kids in December 2011. It didn't work Jill posted a similar review below. The Xbox does not recognize the Kinect and will not update it correctly using this cord. To be clear This is not the correct cord if you need an extension for the newest Xbox and the Nyko customer support never returned my email requesting help.

The correct cord for the black Xbox 360 is the HDE Extension Cable for Xbox 360 Kinect (search Amazon) available March 3 2012 for about $4 and eligible for prime shipping. The $4 HDE cord worked great with NO trouble.

I was skeptical after reading other reviews about the voice recognition not working. That is a feature I like and use a lot. I had to purchase this cable because any other cable would have been too short for my setup.

After getting everything moved and plugged in I went through the Kinect Tuner menu to get the Kinect setup. The voice recognition and visual recognition both work perfectly. The Kinect is performing the same as when it was plugged directly into the XBox. I have the Kinect XBox Bundle.

This cable is used to allow Kinect play from our projector. There is no lag while playing and the kids love the games on a 200" screen. Absolutely incredible. The cord is flat and is easily hidden along the wall. Great price and well made.

I first played this game on the Game Cube and was surprised to find out how addicting it is. Who would have thought that piloting a monkey in a plastic ball through suspended mazes would be fun? And yet, it proved to be one of those rare games that both adults and kids enjoy. Plus, the bonus party games are fun to play, either with others or by yourself. The Xbox version is great, too, because it includes all the content of Monkey Ball 1 and 2, plus extra boards.

My son's Dad brought this back from Army training and at first I laughed at him. Then we had Margarita night (our son was on a road trip with other family) and played Monkey Golf, Monkey Mini Golf, Monkey Racing, and Monkey bowling till the next thing we knew the sun was coming up. We had four grown, responsible adults laughing and having a great (if loud) time.

When our son returned we did it all over again (just without the Margaritas).

This is a game that ANYONE can find something to play and it all makes you laugh. I like to watch the little monkey golfer hitting his golf ball that he happens to be standing inside.

The best PpG video game,bar none! Exciting gameplay, and just about the best PpG graphics of any of the 5 PpG video games available. Looks almost like the tv show!

As to game play, it was a little hard. Adult PpG fans should like it better than the kids for this reason. Too bad that BAM! did not devote as much attention to thier other PpG videogames than they did to this one. A MUST HAVE for the hardcore adult PpG fan.

this is one of my favorites to play! even if you don't like the powerpuffs this game SHOULD change your mind. :P it has beautiful graphics, actual voices from the show, group attacks, the ability to pick up logs and other things, individual special powers, and secret passage ways!!

so you're not disappointed, this is a SIDE-SCROLLING GAME. the powerpuffs fly across streets, cities, and sky as you either dodge or clobber enemies with your fists or eye beams. i recommend buying this!

Ever since I saw the game on Amazon.com,based on my favourite cartoon action series of The Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network,I was impressed and anxious to get it.After I bought it,it was a bit difficult to play at first,but once you get to know the game,where the enemies are,and where the power-ups are,it began to become easy.It took me a long time to get to Level 5 and there was no saving mode on the game,but I did find a way to restart the level I lost,by moving it the right arrow in the right corner on top of the screen until it reaches the right level.You can't save it during the game,but you can come back to the game with which you started.Your video game is the best.Ignore those other reviews of how bored the other customers were,that's their problem,your game is the best and has exciting mind-blowing action.It deserves to be successful.

I don't really like powerpuff girls that much, so I bought this game for my ppg fanatic sister and it turned out that we had problems deciding who could play it at the moment. It has cute graphics, and neat level design. My only down is that it takes a while to get really good at it. (It took me a week to get me to the second level and I am a video-game wiz) but after that I seemed to catch on. I really recomend this.

I don't know about you, but I usually stay away from these kind of games... You know, the kind that use a name or something of a movie, blonde music star, etc.

This one, though, has that R-Type DX feeling, which I wasn't sure about either. What's really cool about this game is that it has the CUTEST LITTLE GIRLS IN THE WORLD. But that's not really all. In the game you fly around and stuff like on the GBC games with the Powerpuff Girls. A side-scrolling game. What's better is that instead of just one character at a time (unless two of them die) you control all three. You can change which character is in front; they have different attacks. Each Girl has a separate life bar thing. You know? So you won't want to keep one Girl out the whole time. A bit of strategy, I guess, in using a certain one for the best situation.

What I thought was awesome was that you can pick up things in the surroundings like a mailbox. Or a tree. That sounds awesome. Having the cutest little girls in the world kick you-know-what.

That's about all I've got. Blossom, the red-head, is a good leader. Bubbles, bright-eyed blonde in blue, is so cute and happy. Buttercup, cute one in green, has that kick-butt attitude.

Buy Driving Simulator - SIMURIDE for car/bus/truck manual/automatic

Customer Ratings:

At first glance, you're probably thinking, "What would I use a driving simulator for?" Even if you've never actually used one, a lot of people try a driving simulator for different reasons. Many people are using them now to teach students about driving conditions and how to control their car on the road. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want someone who doesn't know how to drive to be on the road, and a driving simulator teaches them how to use the car so they can become safe drivers--even without ever getting behind the wheel. Most places are now encouraging driving students to use driving simulators and some driving schools are purchasing them for the benefit of their students.

I think that the driving simulator is an awesome invention and is a really neat item to invest in. Even if you don't think that you need driving instruction, you can just play around on it and have fun. The crazy thing about the driving simulator is how realistic it is. It has three monitors that surround you so you actually feel like you are driving on the road, except you can't hurt anyone if you're inexperienced! The way the driving simulator works makes everything feel so real; it's like you're in your own virtual world. It can make you think you're driving in extreme conditions or on a sunny day.

The driving simulator also lets you choose from different settings so you can practice driving in different conditions. You can make it rain or drive in fog or you can drive in the city or on the highway. There are a lot of different settings you can choose from and they all help you become a better driver. Plus, it gives feedback and tells you what you've done wrong so you can practice for your driving test. It isn't just for teen drivers either.

If you need your bus or semi-truck license, you can use the driving simulator to help you learn. It will get rid of your nerves once you actually make it to the road because you'll already have a feel for how to drive your desired vehicle.

The three monitor driving simulator is really neat and it isn't even that expensive. For less than $1,000 you can get cool items, but how many people have a driving simulator in their home or at their school? It seems expensive at first glance, but when you consider all the features it offers and the benefits of a driving simulator, it is actually quite affordable. It can be more than just a learning tool-it's actually a lot of fun as well.

The Pros:

* A driving simulator is like a video game, but designed for learning purposes it comes with a lot of cool features. You can pick from a variety of road conditions and even decide on different cars to drive. Some of these features include automatic or manual transmissions, small passenger vehicles, bus, or truck, city driving, country driving, or highway driving, and you can even decide what whether conditions you want to drive in such as in fog, at night, in rain, or on a sunny day.

* With three screens on the driving simulator that semi surround you, it feels like you're actually driving in these conditions. It's designed to help you learn how to drive, and it really works! The driving simulator even displays your mistakes and gives a final report. It records when you don't stop at stop signs, don't wear your seat belt, when you speed, and other mistakes you might make.

* What's so cool about this driving simulator is that the army uses software like this to train pilots and teach their soldiers to drive tanks. It actually feels like you're in that situation and it teaches students muscle memory and puts them in situations they might never be in--simply to prepare them for the road.

* The person using the driving simulator can actually feel that they have control of the car. You can use it as a simple at-home video game, or the driving simulator can be used to teach students the rules of the road, how to control a car, and other aspects of driving before actually driving a real car. Plus, a driving simulator speeds up your training and helps you have an advantage to passing your driving test.

The Cons:

* It is slightly expensive but let's face it paying for time to drive a truck is really costly too.

* It isn't the real road. While this game is great for learning, practicing and getting a feel for how things should be, you will still need some practice in a real vehicle.

Is it worth it?

In short: Yes! It is a great way to practice from your own home or school without paying the hefty rental fees to use a real vehicle. It is a great tool to add into your learning process.

Best Deals for Driving Simulator - SIMURIDE for car/bus/truck manual/automatic

I had the privilege of owning its predecessor several years ago, the G25, so I knew mostly what to expect with this new G27, but I was still expecting so much more from Logitech. The expression "Logitech giveth and Logitech taketh away" seems most pertinent.

So, let's start:

Opening the box and getting everything out is very simple. All the parts are well designed, but you're immediately greeted with what I think is the biggest issue with the G25/27 set, the cables. So many cables! 400 cables! (at least it feels like it)

The wheel has a cable coming out of it that goes into your PS3; the pedals have a cable coming out of it; the shifter has a cable coming out of it, and then there's the power brick that has a cable to be plugged in. All these cables plug into the wheel itself, and it's definitely not a pretty sight. I don't know about other people, but I don't have a place where I can leave my steering wheel/shifter/pedals plugged in 24/7, so setting all this up and putting it away again is a COMPLETE pain in the rear.

Putting the cable issue aside, there's a lot to like with the G27. It's an improvement over the G25 in many ways:

1.) The G27 wheel uses helical gears (or diagonal-cut gears) vs the G25's straight-cut gears. What this means is that there's a reduction in noise when turning the wheel, and it's also smoother while maintaing powerful force feedback! Great stuff!

2.) The shifter on the G27 no longer has a sequential mode (i.e. clicks up and down only), which is no big loss to me. I prefer either the regular 6-speed or using the paddle shifts on the wheel. While it may seem that this is still a LOSS compared to the G25's 6-speed AND sequential shifting, the new addition to the G27 is that the gears don't CLICK into place. On the G25, every gear change would greet you with a CLICK as the gear was put into place. Logitech have removed this sound so the gear movements don't hurt your ears with their plastic sounds as the G25 did. Now, some people have modified their G25 shifters to remove this sound, but it voids your warranty and I've read of several people irreparably breaking their shifters by doing this... In any case, for me, the G27 shifter is an improvement over the out-of-the-box G25 shifter.

3.) The pedals are now adjustable, which makes it a joy to heel-and-toe while racing. The pedal layout is a huge deal more comfortable than on the G25 pedals. This, for me, is a huge improvement. My right foot would get very uncomfortable with the G25 layout.

4.) There's a new set of tachometer LEDs on the wheel, though I've yet to play any game that supports them yet... It's a neat little feature, though, if it does as advertised.

5.) The G27 also has some more buttons on the steering wheel, which you can customize, of course.

So how does it play?

VERY well, depending on the software!

Need for Speed: Shift PS3:

I first tried out Need for Speed: Shift on the Playstation 3, and was pleasantly surprised to see that no setup is needed, and the controls just work. In fact, it even shows you a picture of the wheel/pedals on the control screen (albeit just the G25, but still...). It's great to have the wheel work out of the box with no tinkering. THAT said, there's perhaps too much force feedback in Shift to be particularly comfortable. The faster you get, the more the wheel fights with you. At 120mph, it's very hard to keep the wheel straight. I've track-driven several times at near 150mph speeds at times, and I can safely say my steering wheel doesn't fight me in real life like it did in the game...

So, for ease of use with Shift, I'd say 5/10. It's just too hard to keep the wheel straight at relatively high speeds...

Gran Turismo: Prologue PS3:

NOW we're talking. None of the fighting I experienced in Need for Speed: Shift, and plenty of smooth corners and subtle force feedback. It's fair to say the force feedback is a tad muted in Prologue, but it's infinitely more comfortable to play than Shift, and a real joy to hit those apexes time and time again. 9/10.

Overall, this wheel is excellent, but the pain of setting it up is just too much to ignore. It really is a cable nightmare. The wheel, pedals and shifter could easily be wireless by this point, meaning the only cable needed would be a power cable to the steering wheel for the force feedback to work. I suspect the inevitable G29 will remedy this, as the way the G27 currently works is a direct copy of the G25 which is 3 years old as of November, 2009.

Overall, though, a great wheel, if you can be bothered to go through the setting it up...!

4/5

Note: This wheel is for PC AND PS3.
