The majority of console titles being released nowadays are either first person shooters or sandbox games. Isometric Action RPGs, a genre so basic, so essential, I never thought would become scarce, hasn't seen a decent release on the current console generation in almost 7 years. Not one. Back in the PS2 era, the golden age of console action RPGs, we had the holy grail. Baldur's Gate: Dark alliance, and its more than worthy successor, Dark alliance II. The genre was so in vogue, even the Everquest universe brought a worthy contender to the table with the release of Champions of Norrath, and Champions of Norrath 2: Return to Arms. Oh, those were the days. I used to sit on the couch with my girlfriend (nowadays my wife) and play together for hours on end. Just us, exploring dungeons, marveling at the prospect of a dropped piece of armor or sword, which we would immediately pick up and analyze in order to compare to the one we were wearing. Since the current generation of consoles was released, we have waited, and waited, and waited for a worthy successor of one of these games. And there hasn't been any. There have been flops like Sacred, or Dungeon Siege's console version but none that were remotely decent (with the exception perhaps of Lord of The Rings: War in the North. Technically NOT an isometric RPG but a brilliant coop action RPG game nonetheless, which filled somehow the void we carried as gamers for over 6 years). Enter The Lord of Destruction.

The wait is finally over. Diablo III is that game. That worthy successor to Baldur's Gate: Dark alliance we had waited for (for more than half a decade mind you). From the moment you pick up the controller you can tell Blizzard nailed this port. It doesn't even feel like a port. It's like the game was designed with this control scheme in mind from scratch. Movement is fluid, combat satisfying. Everything is there. The search for better and shinier loot is just as fun as it was back in the PS2 with Baldur's. The co-op action is flawless. Minimap, skill trees, chests, weapon racks, everything you may have possibly missed is there, and then some.

If there is maybe one department where the game takes a hit vs. the PC version are the graphics. They're not bad. They do feel a bit...cartoonish. But they're totally current gen. You just can't compare the graphics of a current PC (even a mid-range one) with the graphics of a game, running in 720p on a console like the PS3, released 7 years ago, and already on it's way out. If you have never seen the PC graphics, these will look totally OK to you. Nothing to write home about but not bad by any stretch of the imagination. And my only other gripe with the game (now, this is a minor thing and I'm definitely nitpicking), is that I wish 2 players playing local co-op could enter their inventory at the same time instead of player 1 having to wait while player 2 compares 10 different kinds of armor in order to be able to enter his inventory, or at least, there should be an option to enable this. I'm rocking a 55 inch screen, there's plenty of room for both player's inventories. If a player has a small screen they could disable this option. The upside is when my wife is going through her inventory, I get to see everything she's carrying and sometimes a weapon or piece of armor catches my eye so she gives it to me and viceversa so it's not like it's super boring or anything like that. Like I said, I'm definitely nitpicking. This game is seriously awesome. I can't wait to see what Blizzard does with this game on the PS4. Even if it's just a graphics overhaul, I'll buy the PS4 version in a New York minute and play it all over again (Heck I intend to play the PS3 version all over again several times). Just take my money Blizzard. Keep releasing games like this on the console and keep taking my money. And I hope this game sells like hotcakes so publishers realize there IS a market for this genre on the consoles, and that gamers like us will buy anything you release in this genre as long as it plays this nicely.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love first person shooters as much as the next guy, but sometimes a gamer needs a break from that. No online lobbies, no 8 years olds yelling at the top of their lungs threatening to quickscope me or anything like that. Just me, my girl, the couch and the dungeons (wait, that sounded a bit kinky. But I digress). Sometimes you just want to sit on the couch with a friend, relax, and just have some fun. Sometimes, we need to get back to basics. And what a glorious playground Diablo III is for that purpose. Welcome home Lord of Destruction. What is thy bidding my master?

As ports from PC to systems go, there haven't been too many successful examples. Most games suffer from trying to take the PC/Mouse controls and set them up on a system controller. Or suffer from the limited graphic capability on systems. (Or are like Starcraft on the N64, one of the very worst PC to console ports of all time, and the last time Blizzard tried to do this).

I'm happy to report, Diablo III bucks this trend in a BIG way, and is a must-purchase for RPG and loot fans.

Controls can't get much simplier then what Blizzard accomplished on the PS3. Move with the left stick. Look around with the right. Attack buttons are mapped to the face buttons on the controller. No gaming mouse required! You'll get into the flow of battle and wonder how you ever survived using a gaming mouse or keyboard; it's that intuative.

Naturally, the graphics do take a hit, but it still looks better than you would expect a port has any right to.

Another thing you will notice is the Inventory interface is a little clunky, but that's a minor gripe.

If by some chance you've never played any Diablo games, it's a very simple concept. Slash and hack anything that gets in your way. Mix in a little magic. Grab the loot that drops at random. Rinse and repeat.

The bottom line is this game has at least 30-50 hours (or more) of gameplay and if they release the PC expansion as DLC you can take another 5-10 onto it as well.

As I stated in the open, most PC to console conversions are poor or worst, a complete abomination of the game. Diablo III is neither of those, and if you're the type who love Borderlands for the loot, you will adore Diablo III as well.

Presentation: 8

Graphics: 8

Of course this game is going to get bouts of negative reviews. Because it sucks right? No. No it does not.

Diablo III has been a huge subject of gaming controversy since its release last year on PC. A lot of people were sorely disappointed and as a result, the Diablo fanbase has turned into a giant swarm of hate. And thus, because this is Diablo III, the negative reviews are piling up.

Please ignore the negative reviews. They are not credible. Why? Because even if someone hates the PC version of D3 for completely legitimate reasons, THIS IS NOT THE PC VERSION. The console version of Diablo III is not a mere port of the PC game.

This version has been touched up and fine tuned specifically for consoles. Not only that, but every single PC patch that was released to enhance the original game has been include in the console game's content. Thus, the console version is a far more polished game and is undoubtedly a five-star experience.

The two biggest topics of controversy on the PC version (the Real Money Auction House and the Always-Online connectivity) have been completely removed from this version of the game. Now, the main reason for this was because neither of those things were even possible to replicate on consoles, but nevertheless, they are gone. And because of this, there is no more lag or server errors. And the loot drops have been fine tuned and enhanced since the Auction House can no longer be used to buy better gear.

Believe me, I've heard the countless stories about how much of a let down the PC version was. I'm not saying that I don't believe the players who have the PC version that it isn't a let down. But to come onto a product page of a revamped version of the game and give it a 1 star rating just because you are upset at Blizzard is not only childish, but it's about as silly as those people who negatively review products because of a late delivery from their mail provider.

Enough. Diablo III is a great game. If you hate it, more power to you. But don't review this one poorly just because you're offended by Blizzard's mistakes.

(Now if you ACTUALLY hate the console version for legitimate reasons, then that's another story...)

Honest reviews on Diablo III - Playstation 3

Whew, it has been a long wait! I thought Dungeon Siege 3 would be the best we could hope for on the PS3. This is a terrific game from the company that invented the "Diablo" genre. I have not played it on my Macintosh and I am glad that I waited. A few pros and cons:

Pros:

*Multiplayer is great with no dumbing down of secondary (not player 1) players.

*Eight difficulty levels within each "Master" difficulty level (Normal, Hell, Nightmare, and Inferno) that can be changed at any time.

*Lore is audio based as well as text based.

*No two button finger maneuvers for effects. I have never seen a game do the button mapping better.

*Intelligently designed-this is an understatement.

*Fun (another understatement).

*Random dungeons, leveling up, and replay-ability.

*Thank goodness we did not have to wait for the PS4 version.

Cons:

*Local multiplayer only allows one player at a time in their wonderfully engineered and easy to understand inventory screen.

*Expansions will be delayed for the console.

*No in-game keyboard chat like Diablo 2.

I love this game-it does so much right and is a kick in the pants to play. My two recommendations for future patches:

1.) Allow 2 players in inventory at the same time.

2.)Allow USB keyboard chat.

Thank You Blizzard for bringing this masterpiece to the Playstation 3--I appreciate your outstanding product.

First Impressions

I wanted to share some of my findings with the Console version of Diablo 3 since I've been playing on the PC version since beta. On my pc Diablo 3 account, I've leveled each class to 60 (except my wiz who is 57) and have played my monk and witch doctor to paragon levels above 60. I share this info because I feel it's important that you know that I speak from some level of familiarity with the game.

I am a PS3 Noob

Diablo 3 is the very first game I've played on a PS3 console. Frankly, I purchased the PS3 and the game on the same day. I read some reviews on the console version of the game and wanted to try it out. I know, it's a lot to spend for a simple game play-thru, but I figure since I'm single and don't need the money to buy jewelry, I can use it for Beer and video gaming.

Control

I found controlling the characters quite simple. The controller layout is shown in the game menus so you can see how it's originally laid out. You can set the game (in menus) to elective mode, which allows you to assign any spell or ability to any controller button. I found this a big help. On PC, D3 is a point and click title where you hit the spells and special abilities with buttons 1 thru 4 if they're not bound to your mouse. With the Console version, you pound on X for your primary attack. Blizz did an admirable job of making the transition from keyboard to controller as it relates to PS3. There is no keyboard mode for this game that I'm aware of on PS3, so keep that in mind. Moving your characters (at least to me) was extremely intuitive. I found using the joystick to move your character to be simple, smooth and accurate. No complaints. I was also pleased to find an "evasion" ability added to each class that is bound to the second control stick. Each character can now roll or strafe to avoid damage.

Graphics

I've read a number of comments where people were displeased with the graphics on the TV. I'm actually glad I read those before firing up my copy because I was pleasantly surprised by how good the game looked. I was expecting something less than HD quality, but found extremely good color, contrast and visual effects. I'm playing on a 42 inch 1080P TV. Nothing special, I think I paid $500 for it. All the lines were smooth and all the colors sharp and crisp. I am using the HDMI cable directly into my TV.

Sound

I love the game sounds of Diablo 3. Many go all the way back to the very first Diablo for PlayStation (which I still have by the way, and no. .you can't have it). The voice characterizations, background sounds and other audio candy is wonderful in this game. Having the surround sound on your TV certainly makes this game come to life.

Game Play

The play through itself has been a blast. The learning curve (for me) on the controller ended when I got through Act 1. After that, I was hammering buttons and firing off skills like I actually knew what I was doing. The monster fights are very similar (to pc) with some modest exceptions. The differences are subtle and noticeable if you've played on PC, but not largely different, and equally as fun. Quest rewards sometimes provide gear due to the lack of an auction house as was available (and will be till March 2014) on PC. Crafting is also much the same except the requirements have been reduced to compensate for lower drop rates of items you salvage for crafting materials.

Item Drops

This has been a huge point of discussion which led me to want to try the title myself. "Magic Find" or "Farming" is a significant part of the game play with the Diablo franchise. The quest for better items and increasing your character stats can quickly become an obsession. The PS3 version of Diablo 3 doesn't disappoint in the item drop category. Granted, you don't get as many items as you do on the PC, but from my limited experience I can tell you that the items are better suited for your character and for the level of your characters progression on the console than on the PC. I did not have to buy any items for my character from the vendors (although you certainly can) for leveling. I was able to play comfortably and effectively with items that I found on my play through. The key difference here between the PC and the console (for me) was that with PC, you rarely (if ever) found a direct upgrade for a piece you were wearing after you got past level 30 or so. With the console version, the upgrades don't fall like rain, but they will fall. I had a great deal of luck exploring every nook and cranny of each zone before leaving to the next. And for those that were waiting for it, yes. . . unique items do drop on the console version. And they aren't what I would consider over-blown for your level. My experience (yours will vary) was the unique items I found were level appropriate and replaced within 3 or 4 more levels with better blue or yellow gear. I got my first unique at level 13. It was a 15 dps upgrade and I used it for 2 levels. Finding shiny items is why we play Diablo 3, and the console version delivers. I've not played at level 60 yet because I'm still leveling. My hardcore monk is level 22 and my hardcore witch doctor is level 57.

Vendors

Some vendors sell yellow items mixed in with the typical blues. This is random so each game the items and vendors selling them will vary. The farther you proceed into the game, the more items they seemingly offer. Again, I didn't need to purchase any (and gold is still tough to get) so I didn't bother. But I can confirm they are there.

Followers

These guys seem to do more damage in the Console version, but I can't be certain. I did let my follower pound on some mobs a few times and they did die, so I definitely think there's something to this. Another neat feature is that you can respec your follower. So if you want to try other follower talents, feel free. You can change them whenever you like. On a personal note, the Scoundrel is still the funniest one to listen to when you're questing.

Game performance

This is a bit of a sticking point with me. I bought a brand new PS3 and a brand new copy of D3. There seems to be a great deal of disc thrashing with this game, but I'm not sure if it's this title or just the PS3 in general. I have a 250GB hard drive so space isn't an issue. Since D3 is the only game I've played on it, the drive is empty, less the space taken by saved characters. It doesn't make the game unplayable, and it's not a rubber-banding type of issue, but my game does hesitate at times when the mob density is highest. It recovers quickly and moves on, so I don't know if this is something to do with the game or the system. I did a little research and from what I've read, the game plays strictly from the DVD and cannot be uploaded to the hard drive (I've not verified this) so that may be a factor. Although since it can be downloaded from the PSN store, I'm not sure why you cant upload it to your drive from the DVD. Again, I'm a PS3 noob so I could be wrong here.

Crafting

This seemed to turn out more upgrades than I typically experienced on the PC version. Granted, all of my crafting has been done below level 60 so far (57 and 22) but I did have some luck.

Character Leveling

This part of the game on the PC became a chore, but it's pretty fun on the console. The difference here really lies in the ability to find level specific upgrades for your character. On the PC, my experience was that all upgrades need to be purchased from the auction house or needed to be crafted. With the console version, my experience so far (both toons I'm playing) have been able to manage very well with the gear they find on their journey. Again, unique items did drop for me, making leveling seem more like low level magic finding than an actual grind to level 60.

Loot 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 ?

I've read too much on this topic so I'll just summarize. More item drops (while leveling) are usable in the console version than the PC version. Unique items don't drop like rain on the console, but you will find them. As I shared, I got my first at 13. Used it for a few levels and dusted it for a yellow. The game (per blizz) was made to allow you to level without the need for an external source to obtain items and gear. So far, I've found this to be an accurate account based on my limited experience. Again, we play Diablo 3 for the pretty glowing items that drop in the hopes that they will benefit our toon (or at least one of them). So far, my loot experience has been fun. I am not worried about obtaining upgrades because I know that I will. So far so good.

TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) Review

Like many, the luster of the PC version wore off for me. I was reluctant at first to try the PS3 version of Diablo 3, but I'm very glad I did. Diablo 3 for the console is fun. Loot falls and in many cases was an upgrade for my toon (yes. unique items drop too). Using the controller is simple and intuitive. I play Hardcore, but losing a character doesn't hold the same negative connotations as it does on the PC because I know I can find gear to replace what I've lost during the course of leveling up. The sound and graphics were quite enjoyable for me. If you've enjoyed this title on the PC, you'll really enjoy it on the console. The game itself is very much the same, with the added benefit of knowing that you will find shiny new items. Feel free to comment or ask questions.

Halo Special Edition Xbox Game System Review

Customer Ratings:

Yep, that's right, it's an awesome limited edition bundle.

This bundle came packaged with 1 see-through green XBox, 1 Controller, which has HALO as the label vs other controllers, which have the letter "X," as well as the necessary hookups. This bundle also included a copy of Halo. The box was of course different as well, since this was a limited edition run. It had Halo related material (Master Chief, etc.) splashed around here and there. This is a nice machine for what it is. I've personally been using mine for years and both the XBox and controller still work like new (I've kinda kept the controller in somewhat "unused" condition, since I didn't want to mess it up). If you're a collector, like Halo, or enjoy video games in general, this is a nice bundle, especially since it's quite different from most XBox systems.

Xbox was ahead of it's time back in 2001 when it was released, & was a nice graphical improvement over the PS2. My original Xbox was damaged by lightning so when I found this at the great price, & green, I had to snatch it up. The product arrived, in great condition, & now I can continue playing many of my Xbox games which are not back compatible with the Xbox 360. I am a console collector & the Xbox is among my favorite consoles, ever. Love it..

What a wonderful First Person Shooter. First--the Single Player takes a solid 20 plus hours (indoors, outdoors, in the air, and on) to play with the use of Slow, Reverse, and Stop time and your ability to literally gib--and reverse, gib and reverse, and play with your enemies. The game is technically astonishing with a depth of dynamic shadows, incredibly detailed environs and a butt-kicking (no-slow-down) frame-rate. Then when you get great at it--you can play it again against AI that is better than first rate and makes great use of your ability to confuse them (temporarily) with the time powers.

The Multiplayer though?

It puts other games to shame. I have never seen more game types--faster play for up to sixteen, and had such fun with everything from Rocket Arena to Team Deathmatch. There are new modes like King of Time (get the player with the time powers and you become the target) and Meltdown Madness where you use your four time grenades (Multiplayer has weaponized time bubbles) to slow the coolant to your enemies reactors. This is more fun than Halo 3, Half-Life Orange Box, and Bioshock combined (and actually longer than the new content in the three of them if you include multiplayer. Highly recommended.

How games like this get overlooked while mediocre games like Rainbow Six Vegas get all the hype, I'll never know. What a little gem of a game. If you're a fan of Sci Fi shooters, you'll like Timeshift. First the bad. The story is almost non existent. But what it lacks in story, it makes up for in gameplay. In the beginning, I found using the time shifting abilities a little cumbersome. But once you get used to it, boy does this game get fun. The graphics are excellent, the guns are cool. The environments are varied and challenging. The enemies are smart and will flank you fast. The game never feels redundant. One of Timeshift's greatest assets however is the checkpoint system. I HATE games where if you die, you have to repeat the last 6-10 minutes of gameplay you just finished before you died. This can ruin what might be an otherwise decent game. That never happens in Timeshift. The checkpoints are perfectly placed. It becomes apparent that the developers put autosaves just before really challenging parts. A huge plus! All I can say is don't let this game pass you by. I am a fan of shooters like Resistance, Halo, Call Of Duty franchise, and in my opinion Timeshift is just as worthy a shooter.

The ability to manipulate time is but one of the many interesting and fun facets of this FPS. Not unlike F.E.A.R. you can slow down time (bullet time) and rush your enemies in order to take them out before they can even draw their weapons. Timeshift takes that a step further by giving you the ability to stop time alltogether or to reverse time. It's a novel concept, but it is starting to get a little tired. That being said, it doesn't necessarily detract from the overall experience of Timeshift. The graphics look pretty polished (still not as good as Gears of War) and it's pretty amazing to watch explosions in reverse time. I experienced some mild framerate issues during one timeshift, but it hasn't happened again. There are many situations that require you to manipulate time in order to get through the level. For example, a hallway might get decimated before you have a chance to walk through it. No problem. Simply reverse time, watch the hallway reassemble, and you're on your way. There's a little bit of platforming, lots of shooting, and plenty of bodies flying to satisfy most FPS fans. I guess the only real downside is that it resembles F.E.A.R. too much in it's gameplay. There isn't any real horror element to speak of though. The plot of Timeshift does mirror F.E.A.R. in that you are pursuing a crazed leader bent on domination, just in an alternate reality so to speak. Despite it's similarities to F.E.A.R. I still recommend this title. The ability to manipulate time is enough to keep you satisfied and intrigued.

I'm amazed that this game hasn't gotten better reviews! The story is literally the only weak portion of the game, it has superb graphics with no frame rate issues or jaggies, super fun and diverse gameplay, and competent AI to make your stay enjoyable. I've beaten it on Easy and I can definitely see playing it at LEAST one more time on a harder difficulty. Big thumbs up from someone who plays a lot of console FPS. $29.99 from Amazon? A steal....

The story mode on this game is actually fun and challenging. I have to wonder what game people are comparing this to (most likely COD4), but when comparing it to the Halo series it blows them out of the water. (I wish the main character could jump a little like master chief tho.) The destructable environments look great, the gameplay is very difficult, and at times you will be stuck and can't figure out where to go or what to do, and all of these things combined make TimeShift a fun and welcome challenge.

When it comes to fps games there isn't much that we haven't seen. The ability to control time is seemingly all thats really left. Sierra (whom I've never heard of) did a very good job developing a 4D game, and I'm very excited to see what they can do with their sophomore effort. So if people can drop $20 and buy this game new like I did I think that the next TimeShift will be one of the best FPS games ever.

Headphones were immersive and muffled the outside noise almost as well as my Boss headset. The real surprise was the the quality of the mic boom.

Cheap Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14: Masters Historic Edition -Xbox 360

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $69.99

Today's Bonus: 37% Off

The Tiger Woods PGA Tour series has been solid if unspectacular this generation carrying with it somewhat limited appeal. Hampered by a heavy reliance on downloadable content the justification to purchase yearly has waned considerably.

That won't necessarily change with Tiger Woods 14. People who play yearly may not find as much value as novices. However for those who have skipped recent versions or who would be new to the series it can be easily recommended.

While Tiger Woods 12 had the compelling draw of The Masters for the first time, and Tiger 13 attempted to create a new experience with the Legacy Challenge, it would take travelling many years farther in the past to find a golf game that captured my attention in the way that Tiger 14 has. Any assumption that a gimmicky element would be needed to create interest has been proven wrong by a product that simply delivers realistic and satisfying gameplay as accompanied by a rich and involving feature set. Feel free to check out a few gameplay videos (Career, Legends of the Majors, Live Tournament) on the Pastapadre Youtube Channel.

One very successful element introduced in Tiger 14 is the "Swing Style" feature which gives each current golfer a more personalized feel along with the ability to craft a swing style when creating new golfers. Now each individual is classified in the following categories: Type (Power or Control), Shape (Draw or Fade), Trajectory (Low, Medium, or High), and Handedness (Left or Right). The tutorial helps in getting a feel for some of the differences and the selection screen explains the choices. They can be changed later if so desired. Draws and fades are manageable this year but it can still be difficult to nail that stick movement.

Legends of the Majors is the flashy new mode for this year. It involves playing through events from history within the confines of the time they took place. That means playing with the legends, old course designs, and equipment. The visual filter defines those time periods but feels out of place in a sense given the experience is otherwise all from the golfer's perspective.

Some of the challenges are fairly easy like re-creating a shot, while others take more work such as matching a performance over several holes or a round. Whether they are overly frustrating or just tough remains to be determined. There are 62 challenges overall and most are worthwhile but there are some that clearly could have been omitted. Why am I being asked to play in 1922 as Rory McIlroy against Keegan Bradley? Legends of the Majors is a decent distraction and going through the history of the sport is a valuable journey but it's not something that will hold much value outside of the initial play through.

The Live Tournaments online have been enhanced by adding more of the social element that had been lacking last year. There is of course still the traditional ways to play online but the Tournaments now offer the ability to see the shot arcs for up to an active 24 players on a hole and include group voice chat. I have no expectation of ever winning a public tournament, and that can still be discouraging in a sense, but setting them up with Clubs or friends makes for a fun experience regardless of performance level. Country Clubs have been expanded to 100 members and that too now features chat functionality.

Other additions of note are the LPGA tour, "Simulation" difficulty, and varied tee times that include night golf. Playing in nighttime conditions is more than just the darkness as the sound effects from the environment like the chirping birds are gone. It just has a new feel to it like playing on the historic courses provides in Legends of the Majors. EA probably should have taken sunglasses off golfers who wear them though when it turns dark out. I would not be the right person to assess the "Simulation" setting but from all other accounts it appears to provide the experience very talented players have been looking for.

Presentation would appear to be the weakness of Tiger 14. The commentary is bland, overly generic, and occasionally incorrect. The camera angles range from satisfactory to downright horrible. Quite often after taking a shot particularly when putting it immediately cuts to a camera angle that makes it impossible to actually tell what is happening. They may be meant to enhance the drama but all they do is remove oneself from the moment. The on-screen informational displays do well to communicate information with the leaderboard, scorecards, and Country Club stats but others seem pretty pointless especially when the statistical leaders for a category are all the people who have yet to tee off.

Last year's method of being able to earn DLC courses through time spent playing has been removed due to heavy criticism and problems with the implementation on the PS3. Though not necessarily the wrong decision EA should have provided some alternate method that worked instead of falling back on the old way of doing things where the only way to obtain them is by spending significant chunks of money.

While the enjoyment being had with Tiger 14 may be partially attributed to having not invested much time with the series over the course of the generation and particularly last year which just fell flat and was pushed aside quickly it can't be discounted due to just that. The addictive nature of the gameplay and strong depth of content could be realized by many. Tiger 14′s additions and improvements have the merit to be appreciated by the both the hardcore and more casual crowds and that is a balance that has been tough to come by in the past.

***HISTORIC EDITION*** Includes six courses and a playable Bobby Jones not found in the standard version. For the $10 difference the value is there if the courses are important or would have been bought as downloadable content otherwise as the Historic Upgrade package is $20 through Xbox Live Marketplace/PlayStation Network Store.

I've played Tiger Woods PGA Tour games on my Xbox for many years. There have been some ups and some downs (yeck...remember the caddie?) So I went into this not expecting to be impressed, given some of the things I've read about servers being down and game bugs galore. I can honestly say that, a month after the official release, I've experienced none of that.

Instead, I found a golf game that's quite possibly the best Tiger Woods PGA Tour game, ever! Yep, I really really like this game. It combines all the good parts of past TW PGA Tour games and none of the bad. You even get--count 'em--a generous serving of 25 golf courses included (in the Historic Edition)! Better still, unlike the last Masters edition I bought, if you don't have the course that's next on the tour, no problem. You're not forced to buy the course, you can simply substitute an existing one to your tournament.

Pin Packs, which are collectible pins that boost your stats for a round, are available at the Store, but you don't have to buy them if you don't want to, and you don't have to feel you're missing out on something if you don't. In fact, after I purchased a Pin Pack just to see what it was, I haven't bought any since. I don't need them to play. You can purchase Pin Packs with either MS points, or with game coins earned from playing.

Country Clubs are back. Start your own or join an existing one, reap the benefits of club bonuses with friends. Plus now, Night Golf! There's even an achievement called "Find the Werewolf"! (google this for a Youtube video)

I find the golf mechanics are pretty much perfect this time around, from the swing meter to the putting, although sometimes the camera on the putting surface is in the wrong position. There's a demo available on Xbox live so you can see for yourself. By far, the best feature of the Historic Edition is the ability to play against legends from the past. This is presented in scratchy sepia tone and is just so much fun to see the old courses, clothes and of course, golf clubs--cleeks, jiggers, and baffing spoons etc.

If you're an armchair golfer who has played past TW PGA Tour games and are on the fence with this one, give the demo a try. I did, then I came right back to Amazon to purchase it! Great golf game!

Game play is great, but the game is plagued with a lot of bugs at this point. I have read that a patch has been sent to Xbox for approval. Hopefully this fixes some of the bugs. One of the major bugs is that when you equip coins during online matches you don't get the benefit of the boosts. Not a big deal for me since I don't use pins. That being said, I receive negative XP every time I play an online match it doesn't amount to much, but it is annoying. I have also heard of a lot of people having issues with the game freezing. I have only had the game freeze 3 times all 3 times were during loading screens while not in a match. Another issue when playing online matches is the view of your opponent's shot. All you can see if the back of their golfer it does not follow the flight of their golf ball. There are few others that have had other issues that I have not experienced.

The game play itself is very good not much different from last year's though. The biggest difference I have noticed is with the putting. It seems that you have to hit your putts a little harder than in years past. I do like you can choose from a power golfer or a control golfer. In addition, you can choose whether your golfer hits fades or draws.

After approximately 100 rounds played I'm really enjoying the game even with the bugs. One really negative thing is that EA has removed the ability to 'earn' courses with your coins like you could in last year's game. Now all extra courses have to be purchased. If you purchase all courses, you're looking at over $50, not including the price of the game. If you're like me and play this game a lot, you'll probably break down and buy the courses.

I'll update my review after the patch is implemented on Xbox Live.

Honest reviews on Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14: Masters Historic Edition -Xbox 360

Picked this up for the 1st time in a couple years, absolutely so much fun to play. I'd read a few negative reviews on the standard edition, one guy complained about career mode and said he couldn't hit it more that 200 yards to begin with this isn't true. Within 5 hours of gameplay, my guy can bomb it 280 290 yards and they give you an option to get the masters brand clubset early on so that your stats are actually better than clubs you can't get until level 60 or more. If you like golf video games, pick this up. There is so much to do and the legends mode is incredible, I wish they would do some realistic legends teams in madden similar to this (69 Jets, 75 Vikings, etc). I couldn't recommend this game any higher, just get it.

We finally upgraded from our old PS2 to the Xbox 360 so my husband can play against his sons online. This was our first purchase with our new system and we are already addicted to it. And based on their growing stats I'd say they're completely addicted to it too.

My husband and I are total Xbox newbies so we can't compare this game against any other version. What I can say is that after playing it pretty much non-stop for the entire weekend our only complaint is that when we strike a putt the view immediately changes to a far away shot, as if you are now a spectator watching the play from way too far away. It bugs. The problem with this is, I can't watch my own putt from my own perspective so I can't pick up any tips if I miss the shot. This feature is rather frustrating, most likely because we're avid golfers. If the viewing angle was closer I might not be so bothered by it but it's way too far away to help me in any way and that part sucks. It may be a setting I can tweak but I doubt it. I've been through most of the menus by now and haven't seen such an option, at least not yet.

So far though that is my only complaint to report. The graphics are amazing, and for avid golfers it is really cool to be able to 'play' such revered courses like Augusta, Pebble Beach, and St. Andrews. This is as close as I'll probably ever get to 'playing' them so I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing what these courses look like with no spectators and grandstands and scoreboards all over the place. I know it's simulated but still, if you like golf this is pretty darn cool!

Update: After playing this game for several months now I can say that my opinion of it is still very high but I do notice a lot of glitches that are starting to bother me. I think the most frustrating is when the clubs in my golf bag revert back to the Starter set before you start a new round of golf. Since no one thinks of checking their clubs before each round, this glitch can really upset you when you think you have your 8 degree Nike driver (and all its attributes) only to realize you're now stuck using their default 11.5 degree starter club and it's extremely limited attributes. When your gaming profile is up to 90+, losing your upgraded clubs can really hinder your skills! I've also noticed several other little glitches that are apparently known issues if you check out the blogs on EA Sports. For example, if I select my female golfer as my profile player sometimes a warning pops up that says my other profile golfer will be removed from my console. So then if I want to use my male player later, I have to completely log out of EA Sports and log back in to get both profiles back. I am using my local hard drive for storage instead of their cloud storage so I don't know if that is why this keeps happening or not. One other issue is when I recently tried to enter a sponsored tournament their registration servers were unavailable every time I tried.

This case is really cool looking on my Xbox 360. The plastic seems to be durable. The only thing that disappointed me about the product was that when ordering it the pictures shows the colors as (blue, green, and red) and you do not get an option to pick what color you want. Mine came with blue thankfully. I think the product needs to say what color lights it comes with. Also, there is NO directions on how to install anything or how to take anything apart. So, if you have never done anything to your Xbox I would recommend watching a video on YouTube on how to take apart Xbox 360 and how to install GhostCase. FYI there are a few things on the Xbox 360 that are tricky to get apart.

This product is ok, but I don't think its worth the money. As others have said this case states it comes with blue, red, and green LEDs. However it in fact only comes with blue LEDs. Also I would like to state that the pictures show that is a clear case. That too is incorrect, if I had to say it's more of a black case which the inside can't be seen clearly until it is turned on and the LEDs are on. Overall this product looks great and was a fun install. Recommend if you don't mind blue LEDs and a darker case.

Great case but it is a bit difficult to install as the screw pegs are not per-threaded to the xbox360 long pin screws. As a result of this it can result in stripped screws. But after the case is properly installed it is amazing to look at and is beautiful to look at when lit up. Also the light kit that is sent with the case could be a but better shielded other then these small discrepancy the case is great.

Best Turtle Beach Ear Force DX11 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound Headset Bundle Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this headset from Best Buy when it first came out. My brother has the Turtle Beach X41, and I've gotta say, I love the DX11 so much more! This headset is much better than the X41s because you don't have to worry about charging multiple batteries since they only last a few hours of playing. The DSS Module is also much smaller than the X41's, and there is only one extra cord you have to worry about (connecting the headset itself to the DSS), but it's incredibly long so you don't have to worry about having to sit too close.

The headset itself is very similar to the X41, but it's not the exact same. This one feels a little lighter and actually stays on my head a little nicer than the X41. There are also no controls on the headset itself, as the bass boost and volume are moved to the DSS Module, while the chat and game volume controls are shown in the picture, which is about a foot and a half down wire from the headset. The mic is the standard mic on Turtle Beach headsets, allowing for near unlimited flexibility.

The sound quality is unbelievable. The bass the DSS Processor produces is amazing. In games, you can hear people's footsteps from far far away. I'm a Call of Duty player, and paired with Ninja/Pro, you can be unstoppable because you can figure out where everyone is. The only problem is that it also makes your footsteps quite loud, so Ninja is almost a necessity. I also plug this headset into my PC to listen to music. Listening to the Final Fantasy XIII OST on here conjures quite possibly the most soothing, amazing, awesome, uplifting, inspiring, straight-up emotional feelings you can get from any music period. The headset is worth the money just by its amazing ability to make any music you listen to so much better.

In all, this headset was the best investment I've ever made! Beautiful music/sound quality paired with being incredibly useful in video games make this headset worth well more than $140. I would also say that after shopping around for months trying to find the perfect headset, this could possibly be the one. Great buy, 5 stars.

I was a tritton 5.1 ax360 owner for 2 years. My headphone band snapped so I needed a new pair. I came across these and was a little worried. They are only have 2 speakers in the headphones vs my ax360 who had 4 in each ear.

Does not matter. These things sound so much better and event he surround effect is much better. I can pinpoint sounds much better and the headphones overall is much more comfortable.

The beauty is that is your headphones ever break you can buy another pair for $40 and plug it into the box and you are good to go. This is my first Turtle beach headphone and am very impressed when it's connected to the DX11 box. Fantastic product.

This is a great pair of headphones. Beware, when buying, though: make sure that your X-Box360 is a new model that has an optical port. Without it, or an adapter (sold separately), you will not be able to connect the DSS that gives you the full Dolby 7.1 experience advertised. Without the DSS, these are literally just a $50 pair of X11s.

Also, with regards to price, the $130 tag on Amazon is ridiculous. Best Buy has them on sale for $109 in their B&M stores so, until the prices change, I'd suggest looking locally to buy rather than buying on Amazon.

Honest reviews on Turtle Beach Ear Force DX11 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound Headset Bundle

I bought these because I didn't want to disturb my family at night while i game and compute. These things are loud and sound great. They feel great and i can wear them comfortably for hours and hours. Build quality isn't bad. I've had them for months and they're still just as good as they were when i bought them. The surround sound is great for pinpointing enemy locations if you're playing a shooter like MW3. You can tell exactly which direction the action is taking place at. The microphone works perfect and I can hear the chat convos perfectly. You can adjust the chat volume and game volume independently of each other, which is great if i want to hear more footsteps and less whining. The only things i didn't like about these was that they were white when my xbox is black. I wouldn't recommend it, but i took mine headset a part and spray painted the white parts black and they're just as black and shiny as my xbox now. Looks great, sounds great, feels great. Definite buy.

I bought these at Best Buy with some gift cards that I was saving. If I didn't have the gift cards, I am not sure I would have spent $99 to buy them..... BUT they are totally worth it. The sound is amazing! You can hear everything. They are also very light & comfortable. I gamed for hours as well as watched movies with them and they didn't bother me a bit.

I can't compare them to any other headphones but from my experience with these, I wouldn't buy any other ones. The only downfall is the wires but I would rather have to deal with wires than buying batteries all the time. Even rechargeable ones. I don't have to worry about sound cutting out in the middle of a heated battle.

The first time I played with the headphones, I was blown away. I even got some achievements that I don't think I would have gotten without them. My gaming experience has totally changed. You can hear people trying to creep up on you, bullets flying from the left or right side. It feels like you are in the game. You can even control how loud you want the voice chat.

Overall, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Cheap Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

Customer Ratings:

I rented this game and a few days later bought it. This is nearly a perfect Mortal Kombat game. I had lost interest in MK after it's many sequels and same ol, same ol. A new fighting system, weaponry and multiple fighting styles make this not only a challenge to master but a lot of fun as well. Plenty of Gore and Blood and plenty of moves where you have no choice but to say "that HAD to hurt". You have to love impaling your opponent.

Graphics and sound are top notch and the added Konquest mode and the Krypt add a new level to this game the previous titles didn't have.Konquest mode to unlock Blaze and Mokap can be cruelly frustrating, just TRY and do Raiden's Chain Lightning Branch Style Combo, i've been at it for two days now. They couldn't have made Konquest mode just a "tad" easier. certain characters in Konquest mode are far easier than others.Sometimes i could swear there's a glitch where you do the combo right but the game insists you didn't, and as other times you do it by mashing buttons as fast as you can and it decides to let you have it. The old favorites are back with some great new characters as well. It's a interesting concept mixing a fighting game with Kurrency to unlock hidden characters, arenas and alternate costumes to name a few. I've been playing it non stop since i got it. The only problems i can find with this game are the "cheese" factor of Moloch and certain moves or combinations of moves that a human player wouldn't be able to pull off, but the AI pulls off flawlessly, like blocking and attacking at the same time as well as perfectly timed reversals into a 15 hit Branch Style Combo that goes through all three fighting styles LOL.The rounded directional pad makes some of the moves harder to pull off than on say a playstation controller and that can get annoying at times, hitting down back to perform a "special move" only to jump in the air unintentionaly. The range of difficulty should have been spread out a little more as well, you go from your first fighting being a flawless victory in every round,to your third and fourth giving you a seriously AI sided fight.Staring at the screen going what the heck happened, i guess i blinked. I would have liked to have seen more than ONE fatality per character and maybe even a few arena fatalities as well. Some of the Branch Style Kombos seem next to impossible to pull off and having to do them to beat Konquest mode to unlock even more characters is frustrating, although die hard MK fans wll surely have no problems LOL. It's a great game and i can't wait to see the sequel. Plenty of morbid entertainment for your dollars.From what i've herd and seen the Xbox version is the BEST version of this game on a console. If you have an Xbox definetly pick this up or rent it. One final thing, Midway would have been smart to make this game Xbox LIVE compatible so you could play with other people online in VS mode, that would have been most excellent.

I feel like a party pooper here, with all the great reviews being wrote, but I need to add my opinion to help others who may have a similar taste in fighting games i have.

First off, I have never been a 'major' mortal kombat fan, I however have felt it to be one of the best series out there. The characters have always been intresting and entertaining and the gameplay has always been upbeat, fast, and bloody. This game has all 3 of those. Fast gameplay, very bloody, and always seeming to say 'go go go go' Each battle seems to take only seconds sometimes, as combos and massive beat downs are recieved and given back.

But here is my complaint in what flaw I see... this is no DOA 3. Some may say "YES!" but for those like me, I loved DOA realistic martial arts, and fluid animation. Some moves were so realistic and to the art, I recongized them from movies and my own limited martial arts training. From the rythmatic stance of Jeet Kune Do to the blocks and solid punches of Karate. Mortal Kombat lacks this, and to a hurting. Johny Cage is such a slug he is an embrassment to both styles he uses in the game. *jeet kune do and karate i think, plus chucks as weapons* Before those of you that are die hards say "Well you just don't know how to string combos together!" I reply, that is fairly true, I am not the best at remembering things like Y Y Y X up + X Left trigger A A... All fights began to look like they all came out of the same can.. as the same combos are repeated over and over for if you use anything else, you may only get 3 hits before you character decides to take a breather. I lack the words to explain exactly how I feel about the animation, not because its "that bad!" but because I honestly dont know how to describe it. When some characters jump, they float up, pause, then float back down. Some flying punches or kicks look like they cut back on animation time by having the whole body hold still other than the arms or feet that are hitting. This leads to less fun for me, because I want to watch realistic and enjoyable fictional fight moves. If someone throws a punch, and they dont even move a shoulder, or waist, or hip, it begins to look dull. All I suggest is rent it first, to see if you have similar view as me. For those who are fans of the arcade, then I dont think you will mind the game at all. Dead or Alive 3 however I feel has much much more fluid animation and realistic styles. The things the mortal kombat characters often look hoky and fake. *not bashing fire balls and the like, speaking only of punches and kicks*

Hope this helps with your purchase or rental.

I have always been a big Mortal Combat fan right from the beginning. This new version did not let me down at all. There's so much to do in this new version. You get to train with different characters and learn their moves. Once you do so, you earn Koins that will allow you to open up 'Koffins'. Hidden in the koffins are new characters, backgrounds and some silly stuff. The movement and graphics are amazing. If you're a Mortal Combat fan, you will not be disappointed with this game.

Honest reviews on Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance

Yeah, I know. Scary concept.

I got this baby in an attempt to make sense of Deception. And let me tell you, it is everything that Mortal Kombat: Deception is. Maybe a little more here and a little less there, but it is pretty equal in all resepcts.

Speaking of Deception, I've got to admit that this game made me like Deception's konquest mode a little more. Maybe because this game's konquest was a little annoying at times (although quite funny at others, and nessecary in the long run); maybe because, once I knew the plot of Deadly Alliance, I had some idea of what was going on in the other.

Deadly Alliance's fight-play has, in fact, a little, tiny bit more depth to it. This is because of the little black button, which allows you to, depending on your style of kung fu, grab an opponent, or regain some health (via taunting, how else?) or impale an enemy with your weapon. Depending on the weapon. A dissapointment comes from the fact that you have to use the d-pad to kontrol your character; other than that, it's cool. The graphics are crisp and clean, except when your opponent is covered in blood.

The extra features are a little less than Deception's, but that's "okay," since this wasn't supposed to be a grab-bag. And what extras are there are fun anyway, so, who's complaining?

As I said before, this made me appreciate konquest a little more. It's nice to know that there can be plot in a Mortal Kombat game (I found, by the way, the plot to be tight and focused, although I prefer Deception's plot). Basically, this Mortal Kombat is for anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Deception. No previous knowledge of Mortal Kombat is really nessecary, but it can't hurt to know who Scorpion and Sub-Zero are.

I must say that I have been a long time fan of the mk series. This version is great I think Midway did the right thing when they got rid of all those peripherial characters and superfluous fatalities, animalities, ect. Frankly I would be happy to figure out one. This game is clean and crisp with responsive controls. The weapon aspect is cool because if you do decide to use it you also take greater damage if hit; although if you are a weak player AI's at higher diffuculty levels will repeatedly use their weapons to slice and dice you.

The ONLY gripes I have with this game is that it totally sucks that all the players are not available to start with; although I must admit that having to buy them gives the game more replay value. Also a major gripe is that this game is NOT Xbox Live compatable. I imagine all those suckers I could be pummeling with scorpion all the trash talking I am being denyed, so disappointing.

Anyway this IS a solid game worth having for ANYONE who appreciates fighters. Check out the blood and gore!

Cheap Freedom Fighters: Battle for Liberty Island

Customer Ratings:

I was a little hesitant to pick up this title. The name had changed several times and they pushed the game back all the way up to the release. For instance it was supposed to be released in the end of Sept but it was pushed back till Oct for some reason. I heard some mixed reviews about the game so I almost didn't buy it. But I'm glad I changed my mind. I have had a blast playing this game. Honestly my only major complaint is that I want more. It just seems that if they added just a touch more than this game would be one of the top games to get for the xbox. The multiplayer aspect is fun but if they really need to add at least three more maps. Also some variations on the objectives instead of only playing their version of capture the flag. This game is screaming for xbox live support. The maps could've been downloadable content. But it seems that microsoft and EA can never play nice when it comes to xbox live. Other than my couple of complaints this game is a lot of fun. I like switching between areas to complete various objectives such as blowing up helicopters and destroying bridges. Which makes other missions easier. I do have another complaint in the mini objectives though. There should be a variety to the mini objectives instead of the same three over and over. Instead they just increase the number of objectives. So in one mission you may have to blow up a bridge. Then in the second mission you have to blow up two bridges or three bridges. And there always seems to be a helipad to blow up too. A larger variety in weapons would be nice as well. Sure there are rocket launchers but if you have one then you don't have a machine gun. And if you find a sub machine gun then good luck finding enough ammo. So you end up just using the assault rifle 95% of the time. All of this would have really helped this game but its still a ton of fun. It will definitely keep you busy until the big releases of the year start coming out in late oct through the holiday season.

This game has alot of fun elements. Both the single player and multiplayer I enjoyed.

Graphics: The graphics are good. They border on cell-shading.

Sound: Again, it's good. The people will say some funny things to you like "I'm not your huckleberry" when you try to recruit them without enough spots on your squad.

Camera View: 3rd person. It's easy to move around with it, no complaints.

Weapons: On multiplayers the soviets get grenades, pistol, and an ak-47; Americans get rebel weapons like molotov cocktails, pistol, and a shotgun. Other guns you get are a rocket launcher, sniper rifle, gun turrets, and flamethrower.

Single Player: I have always liked movies like 'Red Dawn' that dealt with the Soviets invading us and I was pretty satisfied with the plot. Not much strategy is needed on the levels on easy but on higher difficulties you do. The cut scenes are interesting.

Multiplayer: Some people who reviewed this game didn't think much of the multiplayer, but I really enjoyed it. Some flaws are that there are only three levels, taking over bunkers doesn't always work right, and three player multiplayer is always a lopsided fight no matter who is fighting.

Best Deals for Freedom Fighters: Battle for Liberty Island

I usually am a game snob, I only get into the "big blockbuster" games that are the best of the best, things like Splinter Cell, Halo, etc...but at Freedom Fighters new sub-20 dollar price, I decided to give it a try while waiting for Shellshock to release and I am glad I did!

Another reviewer was right, this game could be called Red Dawn. The premise is that the Russians have invaded New York, and you decide to start kicking butt and taking names. I won't go into the story, but in between game play is a highly entertaining story going on, that adds a lot to the gameplay.

The variety of weapons, and the quest to gain "charisma" so you can have more troops with you, is very cool. The controls take some getting used to, but once you have played for a few hours they became a real pleasure (i play with the "big" xbox controller). Great fighting, non-stop (really!) action, and since you don't get a ton of troops helping you until later in the game it just keeps getting better.

One thing that most surprised me was the great music and really good graphics. The music is perfect for this game, just the right amount of Russian music and it really blends into the game well. The graphics are nice, too. Even when fighting DOZENS of Russians with 12 troops of my own the frame rate never stuttered.

Overall, I give it 5 stars because of the price now and the FUN factor! If it was 50 bucks I would probably give it a 3.75 stars, but at 20 bucks or less pick it up if you enjoy shooters/military games/or love the movie Red Dawn and watched it relentlessly as a kid like I did! A nice surprise for the Xbox!

Honest reviews on Freedom Fighters: Battle for Liberty Island

I'll start off by saying that this is a very enjoyable game. From start to finish the story pulls you in and the gameplay is just great. The voice acting is some of the best I've heard in a long time. I will also agree with the reviewer that says you will actually care about the characters and what happens to them. The only poblem with this premise is that you do not connect with your recruits, just the main characters. The gameplay is good, the characters reminded me a lot of the pedestrians from State of Emergency. Along with the gameplay is the problem of commanding your recruits. Pretty much all that there is is hold position and follow. With games like Conflict: Desert Storm, you would think that developers would make it more in depth and be able to better control your fellow 'uprisers.' A really cool thing is how the lead character changes as the game progresses and according to the weather. In the beginning he is a clean cut plumber, at the end he's got long scraggly (is that a word?) hair and his clothes actually make you think he lives underground scavenging clothes. Sorry, I guess I'm getting a little too indepth. All in all it's a fun and enjoyable experience. I beat it within a week.

I bought this game on sunday, 10/5/03. I am playing through the single player campaign right now. It is pure genius!!! The plot is deep and one you may actually care about, a bit. The recruit and command function is greatly done, and so is the charisma system. The multiplayer is awesome, the only drawback is not having LIVE, at least system link (yes, I bought it for XBOX). If it had that, this would make a great game complete. This is fun and the graphics are superb. I love this game and recommend it to you. Even beginner action gamers will enjoy the simplistic controls, nonstop action, and fluent gameplay. There, now would you like Freedom Fighters as a game permenant in your game library?

Xbox 360 Official NFL Tennessee Titans Controller Faceplate Review

Customer Ratings:

This controller faceplate was the first one I had seen or used. The good is that it looks nice and your hands quickly get used to the added bulk. The bad is that it adds some bulk to the controller that feels thicker than what it really is. we almost took it off right after trying it, because it felt like the buttons were too deeply recessed. One game later and we were basically used to the difference in feel. When snapping it into place it felt like it would just fall right back off with any use since the 'tabs' are very small. My son and I have used it for about two weeks and it has stayed attached. My son likes it because he had a favorite controller and now he can easily identify it.

Camo, Warnado, and others are starting to come out a lot more in stores now, I just picked one up at Game Crazy for $10. I can't tell if the crazies are serious about the high prices or not but you should start to see more coming out soon. I can't imagine anyone buying this for more than $15, but I guess you just don't know.
