This was a gift for a grandson who uses it at a cottage where he doesn't have a gaming system. He finds it potable and uses it frequently when he is there. It stays there and is a new game to play when he is away from home. He seems to enjoy the variety of games.

Before this game was released I was somewhat looking forward to it, but not with a great interest. Well thats until I actually played it. The first thing to blow me away were the graphics. They are absolutely breathtaking. The CG movies, the in game graphics, special effects, just amazing. But the game isn't all graphics and no gameplay. Believe it or not, the gameplay is actually better than the graphics. You can do everything you've seen ninjas do in movies. Swinging, climbing, wall running and of course slashing peoples limbs off. And it all just looks so real. The moves and weapons are also fantastic. Some of the coolest moves I've seen in any game for awhile. They are also easy for beginners, but hardcore gamers can spend alot of time on perfecting them. The stages are very varied and very large, the sound is nice and the enemies and weapons are also very varied. One problem that many people may have is the game's difficulty. It is very hard. The first boss, for example, is exceptionally difficult. If you persist, however, you will be greatly rewarded.

To start Tecmo & Team Ninja have really out done themselves with this one as the graphics in this game are simply a wonder to behold.

The game is hard, but not unfairly as it rewards intelligent playing as the better you make use of the combo system the more essence you receive from defeating enemies which helps to unlock more features.

The camera can be a little annoying, but its never much of a problem if you remember to use the right thumbstick especially when coming through new doorways. There are only really two spots when the camera is a bit more of a problem when facing multiple enemies usually more than three it tends to have a difficult time keeping a good focus on the action. It seems to be a bit lessened though if you can keep moving around. The second is when going through narrow passageways, but this can usually be resolved by using the right thumbstick.

The different moves look great and handle extremely well and are fairly simple to learn, but some are bit more difficult to master. The story is good though not to original, but fits the game well. The voice acting is good and fits the respective characters well, but some of the dialogue seems a bit dry probably just something lost in translation. The varied environments are simply stunning and the music fits each level well. The cutscenes are superb and simply the best around. The character designs are amazing as they are the best out there.

In all Ninja Gaiden is one of best games ever as it raises the bar for action/adventure games. If you play videogames and just want to mash buttons this is probably not the game for you, but if you like games that are good challenge which reward intelligent creative gameplay then you should love this. The game is not perfect, but is probably as close as a action/adventure game will come until the next wave of game systems come out.

Best Deals for Ninja Gaiden

Ninja Gaiden is simply one of the deepest, most rewarding video games I have ever played. I should explain that it took me a while to realize this depth and appreciate its greatness. I'm also writing this review minus one XBOX controller--smashed into oblivion in a less than Zen-like moment of game play. But in a way, the level of emotion that the game elicited was one of the signs of its greatness. For any other game that had frustrated me in this way, I would have simply quit playing, written a scathing review, then gathered the morning leavings of my dog, put them in a bag, and set them in front of Team Ninja's offices. Ninja Gaiden is good enough to make you want to get past your own frustrations.

In terms of game play, it seems to be an amalgam of a few different classics: Onimusha, Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia all come to mind. Third-person combat, minor platforming, boss fights and CG cut scenes drive the game. Each element is incorporated expertly and handled with style. At its core, however, this game is about combat. The fluidity, depth, and excitement in the combat persist as you play. The elevated difficulty of your enemies is partly responsible for this, as is the mood appropriate music, but I think my own satisfaction was also based on recognizing how I was improving as the game progressed. Although I try to incorporate a firm no-learning policy in my life, Ninja Gaiden managed to surreptitiously make me learn certain rhythmic button combinations. Don't let this scare you. It's not English class. You learn how to separate limbs and heads from bodies--not how to separate phrases and clauses. There are probably fifteen to two dozen moves to learn for each melee weapon. In addition, there are numerous projectile weapons and elemental spells that can be used to lay waste to opponents. Enemy grunts that are easily dispatched in other games are skilled opponents in Ninja Gaiden. And the boss fights you engage in are, to put it mildly, punishing.

Ninja Gaiden is also, hands-down, the best-looking console game I've ever played. The environments are spectacular and the character models look great. Not once did I detect a graphical glitch or imperfection of any kind. The collision detection was spot-on and there was no hint of graphical slowdown in this rapidly paced and highly detailed game. The only real complaint I had was with camera angles; in any other action adventure game, minor camera issues would be a simple nuisance. In Ninja Gaiden, with game speed and difficulty so elevated, less than perfect camera angles detract from the game and cause unneeded frustration. It doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to be noticeable.

The audio was another outstanding element. There was tremendous variation to the music and it seemed to fit the mood perfectly. Sound effects were also well done, with both combat and environment audio adding to the player's immersion level. The voice acting in the cut scenes was definitely over the top, but didn't take away from the game.

It should be pointed out that this game definitely deserves its M rating; it is bloody and chock full of decapitations, and Rachel, the most prominent and very memorable female character, looks like she's a porn queen and outfitted by some S&M fetishist. So it goes without saying that the cut scenes held my interest intently. Just keep young children away--unless you let them watch Brittney Spears. Then it's nothing they haven't seen beofre.

If you are able to stomach the punishing difficulty, this is one of the most polished and rewarding games for any system.

Honest reviews on Ninja Gaiden

I like to think of myself as a patient man. I read the reviews of this game and I'll admit it,I dismissed the reviewers that complained about this title's difficulty as whiners without the patience and/or tenacity to appreciate a challenge. How wrong I was. This game is an exercise in futility and frustration that would send even a zen monk on a red-faced, seething tyrade of hatred against the cruel developers. Yes, it is beautifully rendered (though I think previous reviewers might have overstated it's beauty; the cutscenes are amazing, but the in-game graphics are simply avarage), the storyline is intriguing and when a stretch of gameplay lasts more than five or so minutes (rare; repeated deaths followed by endless repeating of the same stretch of game is more the norm) one can almost appreciate the game's intent. I've given up somewhere in the 5th level, however, as rival ninjas repeatedly hurl seemingly inescapable bombs at me. I have a headache. This is not what I call amusement; it's torturous and I give up.

Upon reading others reviews it is impossible to rate this game because it is still in development. There isn't even a possible demo yet. I saw the game at Tokyo Game Show 2003 on Sept 27 Sunday a week ago ( I live in Japan). It really erks me when people rate a game that isn't done yet. I have seen about a 4 to 7 minute demo which is what I based this reveiw off of. In this game, which includes the main character running up walls and utilizing a variety of weapons including nun chucks, bow and arrows, and a sword there is smooth transition and interaction. The enemies are well developed characters also which includes a white haired buff guy that sports nun chucks, a dinosaur skeleton and zombie like creatures. I have to tell you that out of all of the games at the game show this game was the most impressive action game there. It was the only fast paced (unlike the stealthy Metal Gear Solid 3) action game that wasn't a devil may cry rip off, unlike cy girls which is a devil may cry slash metal gear rip off that I somehow managed to like anyway. This is the breakdown of the 10 best games at the show:

1. Half Life 2 (PC)

3. Ninja Gaiden (X Box)

2. Metal Gear Solid 3/Twin Snakes (PS2/ Gamecube)

3. Gran Turismo 4 ( PS2 sorry not a big racer fan)

4. Berserk (New PS2 game)

5. Shadow Hearts 2 (PS2)

5. True Fantasy Online (X Box)

6. Dinosaur Hunter (PS2)

7. Resident Evil Online (PS2)

8. Otogi 2 (X Box)

9. Suikoden 4 (PS2)

10. Eye Toy (PS2)

There will be a lot of Devil May cry clones coming out, so be on the look out. I never take time to write review but when I saw the rating for this game at a three star and it isn't even out yet I was upset because I know a lot of people buy games on Amazon and other online marketplaces, and they use the star review to buy their games, so trust me when I say this, this game is hot. But maybe you should wait for a professional review, but I aint, because this game along with other Tecmo titles convinced me to buy an X Box. nuff said.

Triple packs are the way to go when building your Skylanders collection. Since Swap Force was released, it is getting increasingly difficult to find the original Series 1 or Series 2 Skylanders. Keep in mind, all figures are forward-compatible but not backward compatible. I started my 5 year old on Spyro's Adventure over the summer. He is playing the Giants game now and will probably be ready for Swap Force by December. This gives the figures a longer playing life.

The great thing about these figures is they are pretty durable. My 2 and 5 year old play with them offline more often than not, and not one has broken (yet).

This triple pack contains a Fire, Life and Earth Skylander.

Best Shaun White Snowboarding - Xbox 360 Deals

Customer Ratings:

As an avid gamer and snowboarder, I felt that this game has been unfairly assessed by critics and gamers. For the reviewers who gave Shaun White a low score, I often wonder have they ever even snowboarded before?

If you're a gamer looking for a snowboarding game in the vein of SSX you're going to be dissapointed. Luckily, that isn't what this game is about. I've been snowboarding for 7 years, and have been waiting for a game that captures the spirit of what snowboarding is all about. To date of the 3 most popular snowboarding games: SSX, Amped, and 1080, they focus on either one or the other: racing or obtaining the highest score possible on a linear path.

Here's a quick summary of what you should expect:

Gamers will hate:

the controls (they take a while to get used to) and they should be customizable

half pipes and impossible tricks are missing

runs have no straightforward path

Snowboarders will love:

+ you can choose any path on the mountain you want (almost no boundaries)

+ Graphics are the best yet with the Assasin's Creed Engine

+ Hitting challenges with friends over xbox live or psn

+ Having a plethora of real merchandise to customize your character to match the gear you actually wear

+ No fake tricks (ie SSX), pulling 360 rodeos in the game feel realistic and fulfilling

+ 4 mountains to choose from (Europe, Park City, Japan, Alaska) that allow you to carve down the entire mountain any way you please

+ backcountry, gaps, and lips to explore

+ physics are for the most part accurate. Uses havoc technology for the momentum of the tricks, and speed (gravity) you travel down a mountain. Characters have a weight to them.

In the end, this isn't the perfect snowboarding game that it could have been. There could be a bit more polish (controls should be completely customizable, interface and animation could have been a bit smoother) But, this is by far the best snowboarding game I have ever played. I highly recommend Shaun White Snowboarding for xbox 360 or ps3 with the caveat that you snowboard and play videogames, if you're a gamer expecting a Tony Hawk snowboarding game look elsewhere.

This game is great in many ways, but it's also lacking many things and has quite a few glitches in the online mode. My biggest complaint with this game is the controls. As an avid gamer, I can quickly adjust to almost any control setup, but this was really bad and they aren't customizable. The controls are not setup well for doing tricks, which is why most people online tend to just rotate, or do flips.

The graphics are terrific in most areas, the mountains look great from afar and whether you're heading down the mountain or looking up, it all looks terrific. As I mentioned previously, it's great in many ways, but also lacks many things, this is one of those areas. When you use the board to slow down and turn, or other various positions it looks as if they're just stretching the pixels because the trail looks the exact same as the area right behind it.

Throwing snowballs at other riders is really fun at times, but it can also be incredibly annoying. One rider can keep two riders pinned down and if that rider continues to keep you pinned the only thing you can do is pray they get bored or that someone comes to your rescue and hits them with one. Even then, you may not have enough time to escape.

You can customize the riders appearance with a number of different jackets, pants, gloves, backpacks, goggles, bindings, and even a speedo. All the items cost money with the exception of the bindings and the speedo is the most expensive at $20,000!

The boards in this game make a huge gap for competition. If you're using a beginner board in online play, it will be near impossible for you to win a competition if someone is using one of the better boards because of the large gap in quality. The speed and velocity of the better boards put the beginner boards to shame, and they're also unrealistic in some ways. The top boards you can do front and back flips with as you're riding on a somewhat flat piece of the mountain and land it perfectly. There's no chance of that with a beginner board. Now imagine trying to keep up with that differential on the halfpipe!

Online play is really where it's at, but there are multiple glitches. Sometimes two riders will do their halfpipe run at the same time, each collecting a score, but you'll only be able to view one of them, and the "second" person usually gets kicked out after being "idle" for about 15 seconds and this happens frequently. For some reason unknown to me, you can get stuck. I was stuck right in the middle of a run, not inside the mountain or a hole like that, but I just got stuck on the mountain. People tried throwing snowballs at me to knock me from that spot but they just went through me. The only thing that fixed it was someone putting out a challenge and I accepted it. I've also had "NICE RUN" flashing on the screen for multiple runs and challenges and it made a noise each time it flashed. It finally disappeared after 15 minutes, but I don't know what the remedy was. Online play is like single player, because you can still accumulate points, money, and collect the euro's, but you also get to talk to other people playing online and compete against them in challenges. If there is an on-going challenge, hope you're near the top of the mountain because the chairlifts will not be working no one can get on them.

One area with no downside, however, is the soundtrack. This game does not have a single bad song in it. It just plays hit, after hit, after hit.

The maps in this game are huge, and the entire mountain can be part of your run. You can jump across to different slopes and take advantage of the entire mountain.

This game is not like SSX, although it does have racing competitions available. This game is very realistic and you shouldn't expect to be able to do 1080's on every jump, this game is very realistic, although the "falls" could use some work. Rather than wiping out, you just pop up and keep riding, and sometimes you may not get points for the tricks because you fell, but you stayed up the entire time. (If you play the game you'll understand what I mean.)

Overall, I would say try to find this game used, or on sale. It's fun for a bit and will make you want to get your board out and ride, but I don't see myself coming back to it very often.

Best Deals for Shaun White Snowboarding - Xbox 360

So I'm a snowboarder and I've been annoyed with the arcade style of most snowboarding games to date. Amped was good because it gave you real mountains but I felt like technology needed to catch up in order to get the snow and physics right. I think we're getting closer with Shaun White Snowboarding.

The graphics are par for today's games except there are frame rate T

stutters when you're riding the chairlift and looking around at the whole mountain. The frame rate is good when it actually matters.

The game starts you off with a crappy board and you have to earn cash to buy better ones for ridiculous prices. Just hold out for a mid grade board and once you upgrade you'll start to really feel what this game is like. Once you u have one of the best level boards, the game gets even better. It's a shame they don't at least tease you with how good the controls feel with a real board because some people will simply give up before they get a good board. So give the game a chance and it will grow on you.

Honest reviews on Shaun White Snowboarding - Xbox 360

The game play in Shaun White snowboarding is excellent. Definately the best snowboarding game created up to this point. The game is loads of fun. There are 4 different large mountains with a ton of challenges for solo and multiplayer play. There is also a huge selection of gear boards,bindings,jackets,hats, etc.. You can take the chair lift or jump out of the helicopter. You can do pretty much all the tricks in the real world in this game, including flatland tricks. The realism is unprecedented and extremely enjoyable at the same time. The game even has avalanches that you can outrun or be swallowed up by.

If you want to take a break from doing tricks the game even has races for Single player and multiple players..

All in all this a great game, i recommend it for any one that enjoys snowboarding or skateboarding games, or for people looking for a new kind of gaming experience..

they really werent trying when they made the engine for this game. there is such a limited bag of tricks its rediculous in this day and age. the graphics are sub par at best. the animations are stiff. the challenges are boring and repetitive. the controls are clumsy to say the least.

there is honestly no excuse for a snowboarding game to be thrown together like this. not after we saw the greatness of SSX Tricky and SSX 3. those games did just about everything right. from the controls, to the trick list, to the character customization. this game did none of that right. everything is so simple, limited, and poorly implemented its horrible. it feels more slapped together than a Courtney Love makeup job.

the only redeeming qualities this game has to offer: a good soundtrack for the most part, and fun online. getting a few friends together for a trip down the mountain can be entertaining (wears thin after a couple days though)

the fact that this outsold Prince of Persia(the other big ubisoft holiday game) is a travesty. to be fair though, neither game lived up to their expectations or potential. the thing is, where prince of persia is barely above average, this is just awful. barely worth a rental if you ask me.

i think im done with snowboarding games till we get a next gen SSX.

Buy Xbox 360 Kinect Wall Mount

Customer Ratings:

If you live in a small space, this is perfect for getting your Kinect up high and a little farther away. My TV is not wall mounted and is about a foot an a half in front of the wall. With this Kinect wall mount, I gain that additional foot an half and by putting it 6 feet up, I gain about another foot. Now I'm able to play 2 player games in my small living room.

You will need to drill 4 small holes in your wall so be prepared to do that. It's very simple to install and as long as you have a drill you are set.

The mount is excellent for small spaces. By mounting the kinect above your TV, this adds about another foot to your living rooms space. If you play kinect in a small space and often have trouble with the kinect recognizing you, then this is a must. I had issues with the kinect telling me I was too close when the kinect was below my TV; however, with this mount those issues have seem to have gone away. The mount allow for the Kinect to tilt down or up and move freely in any way.

Even if you don't have a small room, I would recommend this just to have your Kinect out of the way. It reduces the clutter around your TV and allows you to easily hide the Kinect wires behind your TV if mounted correctly. Set up if simple with a few screws that are hidden by the mount.

Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures!

Item is made from metal and plastic.

1st: Attach metal bracket to wall with provided drywall anchors and screws (4 of each). (suggest using a level)

2nd: Slide plastic frame over metal bracket. (friction fit, does not lock in place)

3rd: Clip Kinect Sensor onto plastic mounting clip. (locks in place)

4th: Slide plastic mounting clip onto plastic frame. (locks into place)

Item is solid and sturdy if attached to the wall as per instructions.

Actual bracket size is 2-1/8" high x 3-1/8" wide x 4-13/16" deep (not including Kinect Sensor).

Another interesting note, the sensor clip has a threaded mount on the bottom of it like a camera/camcorder does. This would allow one to use just the mount in other applications.

Kinect Sensor can be easily attached and/or removed if you wanted to take it to another room of the house.

Honest reviews on Xbox 360 Kinect Wall Mount

I noticed one of the bad reviews and to be honest i don't think he re-calibrated the sensor after moving it which is why i think he had issues with this product.

When you move your sensor you are supposed to re-calibrate it, if you notice most games you buy come with a calibration card with smiley face on it.

My original location was 2ft off the floor below my TV. After I mounted it above my 50" TV. It's now at a height about 5ft 6-7.

When i first turned on my game i notice my arms where going above the box where it shows my infra red image.

I went into the Kinect options from the XBox Dashboard and did re-calibrate.

It gave me the option to move the motor up and down to fit my entire body in. After re-calibration my entire body fits in even when my arms are fully stretched.

My games work exactly how they did before no changes.

The mount is well made/solid and comes with screws and plugs for mounting.

The bad review is mostly for the ridiculous $50-60 price! I did not pay this price because amazon had it listed for $14.99 before and that's what I paid. I couldn't get it from amazon since I missed the preorder, however you can purchase this at some gamestops for the same $14.99 price. Like the other reviewer, my space barely had enough room for the 2 ppl region for kinect adventures. However, by using this wall mount, I was able to place the kinect around an extra foot further back and now I have plenty of space for the kinect to register two ppl. I'm not a handygirl, but it was simple enough to measure placing the mount right in the middle of my tv and drilling some holes. I love it!

Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Triple Character Pack (Wrecking Ball Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Every Skylander needs this set of 3 Characters; WRECKING BALL, STEALTH ELF, and SONIC BOOM. You get two additional elements needed to get through all the phases of the game; Life and Air. These don't come with the original game and are an awesome addition to anyone's collection. Wrecking Ball is the element of Magic. With the original character set sold with the Playstation 3 (Spyro, Trigger Happy and Gill Grunt) and these three you will still need to get the Earth, Undead, and Fire elements in order to unlock all the gates within the game. The upgrades for all three of these are AWESOME! You might think they are a little weak when you first start to use them.. but WITH A LITTLE PATIENCE they become VERY COOL!!

WRECKING BALL wreaks havoc by slapping with his tongue and can eventually turn into a force field protected bowling ball with a burp attack! He's so fast in his bowling ball mode..he can be a little hard to maneuver..BUT..he's excellent at the beginnig of a battle when you're surrounded by opponents! After acquiring the "Digestive Detonation" upgrade you can press and hold his burp attack.. (to be released at your convenience)for an even wider ranged impact. His soul gem upgrade enables him to use his tongue to slap and ...slurp up his smaller enemies. His STRENGTHS are ELEMENTAL POWER and ARMOR..(Dark Spyro is a little stronger for elemental power...but..only available at retail in the Nintendo 3DS starter kit).

STEALTH ELF moves very quickly and slices up her opponents; upgraded she moves and leaves another decoy image behind her. The only way to know where she really is... are the green glowing eyes. Additional upgrades turn her into an acrobatic ninja that can do flips; and if you pick the "POOK BLADE SAINT" upgrade she has a bunch of magical knives that float alongside her where ever she goes... and do some of the work for you. These blades makes her a force to be reckoned with.. along with her extremely fast flips. With the SOUL GEM she can REGENERATE HER HEALTH over time.. which is extremely handy beacuse her WEAKNESS is ARMOR...her STRENGTHS..SPEED..CRITICAL HIT and ELEMENTAL POWER.

SONIC BOOM uses a roar and an egg toss (her little babies appear for a few seconds after the eggs break open..my son loves having her babies follow her around... he thinks it's too cute) in the beginning as her weapon. The egg toss is handy in creating a diversion strategy, sometimes the minions(bad guys) attack them instead of her..You can also throw her eggs out in front of you in a bait strategy (comes in handy with spiders) and then with more upgrades mom and her babies can fly. With the soul gem... when Sonic roars at her babies they roar too ...for a wider ranged attack and increased destruction. Sonic and Stealth Elf are among the fastest characters starting out..SONIC along WITH HER BABIES.. are quite capable of doing a LOT of damage...

BEGINNING STATS=baseline where your characters start out. The card that you get with the figures is referring to the online "Skylander's Universe" portion ONLY...So for those that are trying to strategize...or if your on a budget and trying to decide...MAX HEALTH refers to the total number of hit points your character can take before dying...SPEED..self explanatory..ARMOR.. ability to block damage.. CRITICAL HIT..ability to inflict damage.. ELEMENTAL POWER..extra power when your character is in their own elemental zone.. The higher..the Better!

I don't play Wii, but when my son was shopping with his birthday money, we saw Skylanders, and I said, "I think you need that!" I thought it was so cool (still do). The Starter Pack gives you 1 Magic, 1 Water, and 1 Tech. Naturally you "need" at least ONE guy from each Element. You can certainly buy characters individually, but it's cheaper to buy the Packs. If you choose two 3-packs carefully, you get 1 guy from each element, plus an extra Magic guy.

If you get THIS (reviewing) 3-pack (Wrecking/Stealth/Sonic) PLUS Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Triple Character Pack (Eruptor, Chop Chop, Bash), you cover all the Elements for cheaper than buying them separately. After that, you can add in other characters as your kid likes, but this allows them to unlock all the areas.

I bought the two 3-packs, but opened the packages & re-wrapped each guy separately. My son can "earn" a new (surprise) guy each week by good behavior and cheerful helpfulness. He got Chop Chop yesterday, and was thrilled to add an Undead to his team, after a week of only the 3 original Elements. He has 5 more Saturdays worth of guys (assuming he's nice), then he can select/earn add-on guys on his own. I felt that deferring the collection of characters makes it more anticipatory and stretches out the fun!

Honest reviews on Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Triple Character Pack (Wrecking Ball

My son bought skylanders for himself with extra Christmas money, with me knowing nothing about the game. Well, now I am hooked on it. I'm on a mission to get all the characters, and this set has some great ones. I haven't played with Stealth Elf yet, but I understand she is a great character. Wrecking ball has got to be the cutest character, almost acting like a dog all the time. Plus you can upgrade him to have a burb attack and eat smaller enemies. What's not to like about a burb attack. His tongue attack doesn't do a ton of damage, but my son seems to love using him all the time. And he can roll up into a ball (hence wrecking ball) and roll over the enemies. Now, for my favorite character to date Sonic Boom. She has it all. She is quick, you can upgrade her to fly (like Spyro), and she has babies that also attack for you, though with much less power. Her roar (or sonic boom, I guess) does some serious damage, though you can't attack from too far away. But, if you have the babies out, they sometimes go ahead and start attacking before you get to the bad guys. Plus, you can upgrade to have the babies fly and roar too. While I (um, we) only have about 10 characters so far, the combination of these three in this pack is one you can't pass up, if you can find it. My only critique of this game is the limited availability of the characters. That's almost another element of the game, trying to locate the characters you want!

It's a combination that does not seem like it should work, but puzzle game play as a combat system for a RPG makes for a very entertaining game if you like puzzle games like Bejeweled. Puzzle Quest [Download] is the pioneer of this kind of RPG puzzle game (as far as I know) and a hallmark title that you should play. Clash of Heroes has a very similar feel but the puzzle gameplay is slightly more complex than a "match 3" game. You still match rows and columns of pieces, but instead of swapping or rotating them in a grid you slide them in and out of columns. Matching 3 or more in a row creates a wall (defensive structure) while matching 3 in a column creates an attack formation. At its core it is that simple, but there are advanced elements that enhance the gameplay: linking like-colored formations together to enhance their power, forming multiple walls/formations in a single move to gain additional moves, and so on.

You command 5 different heroes, each with his/her own special power and unique set of creatures to command. The game is paced quite well. Higher strength creatures are meted out over the course of each character's story arc, giving you something to look forward to as you progress. You switch between characters throughout the campaign, which keeps things fresh. I have not played any of the multiplayer games, but the single player campaign is very entertaining.

Clash of Heroes is an great casual game that you can play in short 15 minutes intervals, or for extended sessions. It was originally designed for the Nintendo DS and it shows in how the user interface is designed, but it plays just fine on the PC using a mouse. I highly recommend it if you like puzzle games. The addition of role-playing elements adds a fun purpose to the puzzle gameplay and provides a rewarding story arc that gives you a sense of accomplishment.

This is a decently fun puzzle game and offers a good challenge (at least for me). I got hooked on RPG-esq puzzle games with Puzzle Quest and am now a sucker for picking up any I see.

The gameplay is completely turn-based, and with no time limit so you are free to think out your moves with all the time you need. That doesn't mean it is easy though, I often feel like the AI has the deck stacked in their favor.

It's mostly a 'match three' type game; however you cannot 'swap' pieces to make matches like you do in games like Bejeweled. A vertical match of 3 will attack your opponent, while a horizontal match of 3 will form a wall that can block some or all of your opponent's attacks. So how do you form matches without being able to `swap' pieces? You can grab the last piece on any column, and move it to a different column. This uses up one of your 3 moves per turn. The other option is you can remove any single piece from the board, no matter where it is. So if in a column you had blue, green, blue, and blue you could remove the green to form a match of 3 blues. If when you remove a piece a match forms, it does not use a move. If you remove a piece and no match forms, it consumes one of your three moves per turn. If you create multiple matches you will get bonus moves. You get a set number of pieces per game, and you can spend a move to replace any pieces you have used previously, this replenishes your side of the board with new pieces to make more matches. This continues until you deal enough damage to your opponent.

There are some additional factors to the game like elite and champion units, but that's the gist of it. As I've mentioned earlier, I find the AI tends to get pretty stacked odds, or I'm just not lucky. I often find the AI getting to start each combat with several opportunities to delete a unit and create a match, which often results in them getting several free moves during their turn and they can easily create 3 or more matches right at the start. That aside, the game is still winnable and keeps a challenge to the player by limiting the amount you can `level up' and not offering any kind of difficulty setting (it is what it is).

There is a main storyline that's pretty mediocre and not at all good, but none of these games tend to have a good story so that's par for the course I guess. There are side quests and mini-games however that give you something a bit extra to do if you wish.

The game does feature multiplayer, but I haven't touched it. I play all my games single player.

Discount PC PC51U USBPOWERED ANALOG5.1 GAMING HEADSET

Customer Ratings:

Summary: Exceptional microphone, accurate positioning with analog 5.1, great comfort and build quality, below-average sound quality especially in low range.

The construction of the 510s is solid and I am not worried about the headband cracking although it is plastic. The faux leather padding on the over-the-ear cups is very comfortable and the pads are easily replaceable/interchangeable (not sure about other options since I love these ones so much). The headset is pretty light, I think the longest I've worn it was 4 hours with minor neck soreness starting around the 3 hour mark. I would say that the detachable cord, while a nice feature, is a bit annoying since the remote is too close to the headset to be placed in a convenient spot on your desk. I usually put it in my lap or tuck it behind me on my chair.

Above all else, I love the microphone on this headset. I was shocked at the high sensitivity when I first plugged in--I could hear my aquarium filter in another room through my headset when monitoring mic input. Once you adjust input volume and find the sweet spot, the voice quality is very good and I've had quite a few people on mumble/teamspeak ask me what headset I use and mention the voice clarity. The mic is also removable, which is convenient, and extremely flexible. I highly encourage all of you mic-breathers to get yourself a bendable mic like this one.

Sound quality is ok, though not as good as a stereo headset of comparable price. The low range (which extends down to 20Hz) is heavy/square sounding, with pretty muffled and sometimes indistinguishable bass tones. Explosions and gunfire sound good, but I wouldn't recommend listening to anything like Young Jeezy or the Prelude from Carmen while wearing these cans. I will admit that the analog 5.1 exceeded my expectations and I find myself much more immersed in games with surround sound capability. This is a notable advantage in multiplayer FPS games.

I would highly recommend these if you are primarily looking for a gaming headset. If you are a music lover (why are you looking at 5.1 headphones?) and gaming is not your top priority, you might consider some AT AD700s ($100), M50s ($120) or Sennheiser 558s ($160). I have the AD700s and absolutely adore them.

Cheap Smartjoy Frag Keyboard and Mouse Adapter for Xbox

Customer Ratings:

A word of advice for XBox 360 users, specifically those like myself who are coming to the 360 from the PC world, and may not be as familiar with what's compatible between the original XBox and the 360: the SmartJoy Frag adapter is NOT compatible with the 360. The connector on the Frag is intended to fit a "classic" XBox controller port, and will not work with the USB ports on the 360. And substituting the USB end-cable from a 360 controller also does not work, as the "breakaway" connector is incompatible as well.

I have no complaint with the SmartJoy Frag device itself (not having tried it). Just wanted to save other 360 owners the disappointment of picking this up and not being able to use it. (A pity, too, since from reviews it sounds like the Frag is a better deal, price and feature-wise, than similar devices that _are_ intended for the 360!)

If you're used to playing games on a computer, then this device will make you feel right at home on the Xbox. I've always hated the controllers anyway so finding a keyboard/mouse option is fantastic.

I'm not going to go on and on, but simply this device works very well. There are reports of some incompatibility with certain keyboards and mice, but I think those are limited to high end wireless gear. It works great with just basic keyboards and mice.

It comes with a review card that lists the basic keyboard configuration if you plan on custom programming the keys (and you probably will). The review card is not accurate, so you need to start the game, hit f12 to get to the base keyboard layout, and then just start hitting keys to see how the game reacts, make a note of the action and then program that original key to your preferred key.

For example what is supposed to be the black controller button (keyboard TAB) actually turns out to be keypad +. So it takes some time to get it figured out and programmed properly, but after that it's fine. The device does not give you any on-screen help at all, you need to remember or write down your keyboard mapping.

For me the best thing about this device is that it gives left handers the ability to play on a level field. Some games, such as Big Red One, does not have a left hand controller layout. If you use a lefty configuration for Halo or Halo2, you're pretty much screwed when trying to play Big Red One unless you're willing to re-learn the controller layout.

I have to have the left thumb control the "look" aspect and the right thumb control "move". I find it impossible to swap the thumbpads, my brain just doesn't work that way. Plus if you move with the right thumb then it makes jumping a LOT less effective. But now I move with the 8,4,5,6 keypad, look with the mouse and jump with keypad 0. It's great because I can jump while moving.

Just to give you a bit more of an insight: keypad 7 = reload, 9 = swap weapon, 2 = melee, 1 = black 3 = white, right mouse = right trigger, left mouse = grenade, mouse wheel = zoom/ADS. But I think I'm moving melee to keypad 1.

I have my Big Red One layout matching my Halo2 layout with just a couple exceptions. This is a great advantage when moving from one game to another.

I know of two other similar devices on the market, one is reported to be better than this one, and the other is reported to be much worse. You can't beat twenty bucks in any case.

Be sure to also buy the extension cable, the cable hardwired to the device itself is ridiculously short.

Best Deals for Smartjoy Frag Keyboard and Mouse Adapter for Xbox

This product was OK. It was too jittery for me in halo 2, but in games like red faction II and counter-strike i thought it was much better. It just seems like after going through the hastle of configuring the deadzones and everything else it seems more easy and relaxing just to pick up a controller and play.

I would recommend this product to people who aren't familiar with an xbox controller and are much more used to keyboard and mouse. You'll love this product if this is you. However if you're already pretty decent with an xbox controller but your slightly better with keyboard/mouse (like me) well... its just not worth all the hastle, its easier just to stick with a controller.

Oh and by the way. Make sure you get the "Smartjoy Frag" model of this product!!! Theres another model that looks almost EXACTLY like this one but it has a different name (i dont remember it right now) and it sucks horribly! If somebody sends you the wrong model then ask them nicely for your money back because the model i got the first time i ordered it was impossible to play with.

This game is fun for about a day or two, or for a party with friends. It is infuriating if you actually keep at it and try to get better and use strategy. Because of the emphasis on offense (as in NBA Street), there is precious little strategy needed to win. Defense is a lost art and a source of utter frustration; for example you may block a shot, yet it still goes in, yet when the CPU blocks, the ball falls towards them half the time. The moves are cool, the unlockables are neat, yet ultimately it is a shallow game. The whole emphasis on consumer goods (buy a nice house, car, posse, etc) is a nice idea that is poorly implemented. Ultimately, the games are all as follows: 1)dribble towards your opponent 2)Perform the "Act a Fool" moves 3)dribble by opponent 4)Shoot 5)Get back on "defense" and watch your opponent score on you, no matter what you do. Also, the utter lack of reliability in terms of the shooting is aggravating; there is no rhyme or reason to your jumpshots. You may hit them with someone in your face, yet you may miss 4 in a row while wide open. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad game, it's just that those looking for a little depth may want to look elsewhere (like ESPN NBA 2K4, which has a street mode not unlike this game). The graphics are okay (both ESPN NBA 2K4 and NBA Live 2004 are better) and the sounds is good, but the loading times are TERRIBLE. Seems like half the game is spent waiting to load. Rent first!

Buy Xbox 360 60GB Hard Drive (Not compatible with Xbox 360 Slim)

Customer Ratings:

This hard drive is the best compromise between price and magnitude of drive space. I wouldn't recommend settling with a 20G, which yields about 12 after formatting. Getting a 120G, however, takes a bit more consideration in maximizing proper use. However, you can't go wrong with getting the 60G. It yields right about 51G after formatting, and should suit nearly all modest needs of a 360 gamer.
