If you are like me, you are shopping for pads because you are afraid that eventually you won't be able to buy them anymore. I have ALWAYS wanted metal pads, and it took me 8 years to solidly convince myself to take the plunge, and months of shopping around to find the ones right for me. These pads are as close to perfect as you are going to get in this price range.

They feel solid. They are well built, and feel like they will last a good while. The USB units are plug and play (Windows 7 64 bit here), and they are read in as 2 axis 16 button (?!) controllers. There are only 6 buttons on it total, counting the "axis' but at least windows names them. Once windows knew what they were, stepmania was able to incorperate them right away in the config keys screen.

There is only one con to these, and really I don't feel so bad about it. The arrows. You can't just tap them like you would regular DDR (ITG/Pump/Whatever) arrows. They sit recessed in the pad, but they are about a half inch up from the actual sensor themselves, so when you set on one you have to make sure to add enough pressure to touch the arrow to sensor. At first this is difficult, because once you reach the 9 foot difficulty and up songs you tend to learn to glide over arrows to conserve energy. For me this has meant relearning a very basic part of game play, and after a day solid of playing on these I barely notice it anymore. My first song on the pads each day will be a 'D' followed by 'A's and 'AA's. It really doesn't detract at all, and now I feel it might actually be a good thing seeing as after working in an arcade I know how often those sensitive to tapping DDR sensors need to be replaced. These will probably last a good while longer.

One final note, when I got these home, their boxes that connected the pads to my computer would show up as malfunctioning in windows. I could only play on one of them, and was scared I received a broken one. After some snooping around, I discovered a possible solution. All I needed was a powered USB hub (CyberPower High-Speed 7-Port USB Hub) to get my pads up and running flawlessly. Apparently my choice of using a 620w Antec psu to power my i5 560ti rig meant there wasn't enough power left being sent to the usb to power these pads. If you are considering buying these, OR already have them and are facing this problem try out this solution before you try to mail back 50 pounds of metal and awesome.

My friends and I are all decent DDR players (MyselfDouble Pad: 6-7 Steps; My friendSingle Pad: 9-10 Steps). The arrows are highly responsive and it feels like the arcade with the recessed buttons. You can play with shoes or socks. The bar is nice and sturdy if you follow that instructions; make sure to fasten it in tight. There is no lag from consoles and if you set it up on PC get Stepmania 4 (not 3.9), a free DDR emulator, for the best results.

NOTE: For PC, a newer computer will help reduce lag, as well as unplugging any USB devices that are not in use.

NOTE: If you set it up to a large TV with a stereo system, there may be audio lag. Newer DDR games and Stepmania both have tools to adjust this.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase, as all the DDR machines in the area are either broken or crappy.

Buy from Amazon.com for great price and reliability.

****UPDATE*****

I have had these pads for a couple months now and the up arrow no longer functions.

The DDR Game only offers a 30 day warranty so I am S.O.L. If I would of known these pads would die after only a few months I would have never purchased them.

I do not recommend these pads to anyone and I recommend you look elsewhere for DDR Pads.

STAY AWAY FROM DDR GAME PRODUCTS!

Halo 3 & Fable II Combo Pack Review

Customer Ratings:

waited for a while and got the wrong stuff, contacted the seller through amazon and they were prompt to contact me back and arranged to send out the right games. initially i recieved two cases, a fable II case with just a bonus features disc in it, and the combo pack case with just Halo 3 inside of that. The seller sent out the correct copy of Fable II in a fable II case, and just let me keep the bonus disc and case. dissapointing at first but the seller promptly fixed the problem.

as far as the games go... they've been around, check em out on youtube, i like them so that's why i bought them :)

Review of Crash SuperPack

Customer Ratings:

I was really suprised how fun this game really is. Both games are equally fun and hard. I have had this game for over a month and I play it everyday. The Nitro racing game is pretty much like Mario Kart but there seem to be way more tracks and characters to race with. Overall I give this game the highest possible rating. This is the best game I've ever owned.

Crash 2: N-Tranced

If you have ever played Crash before, you know how amazing it is. There is side-scrolling, and then there is chase scenes, and being in space, and being in a hamster-ball-type-thing. Not many other games can boast such variety in their game play. And yes, this is a very challenging game, but once you complete even just one level, it is immensely rewarding. Maybe some of the levels are impossible at first, but that is the challenge. Besides, it is so easy to gain new lives during the course of the level. The boss levels can be ridiculously challenging, but again, once you finish the boss, you are rewarded from your hard work. It is more of a puzzle game, at times. If you have never played Crash, this is an awesome game, one like no other. Highly recommended.

Crash: Nitro Kart

I haven't played this as much, but it is very good. It is basically the same exact thing as Mario Kart, just with different content. The adventure version of this game is more like the Diddy Kong Racing on DS, and also, I haven't played this feature very much. Yet, if I ever get discouraged from playing Crash 2: N-Tranced, I just switch to this game to race.

Honest reviews on Crash SuperPack

This is a great combination of games if you're looking for a dose of Crash to take on the go, but...whoever wrote the Product Description for this entry only has half a clue what they're talking about. The cartridge does indeed contain Crash Nitro Kart, a rather decent portable port of the console Kart racers. But I'm not sure where they got that 'N-Hanced' thing from--as even the box image itself tells you, the other game on the cartridge is Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, which is a 'normal' Crash game with platforming and other elements. Though to be honest...waaay too many of the 'hamster-ball' levels compared to the classic platforming, IMHO.

Best Mega Man X Collection - PlayStation 2 Deals

In 1993, Capcom began to cult classic series, Mega Man X. Now after thirteen years, the first six games (from the Super Nintendo and Playstation) have finally received a re-release. It's what longtime fans of the series have been waiting for, but it isn't nearly as worthwhile as the original Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

To put it simple, Mega Man X takes place in the future, after the original Mega Man series. A group of robots calling themselves the Mavericks are waging war with the humans. They are lead by an evil reploid named Sigma. Meanwhile a rebel group--a group of robots calling themselves the Maverick Hunters--are on a quest to save humanity. And if you couldn't guess, it's Mega Man X leading this group.

You won't find any members of the original Mega Man series here, except well... Mega Man. The Mega Man X series shows a Mega Man that has more edge to him. The series also shows a more mature and grown up storyline.

Each of the Mega Man X games plays virtually the same. You control Mega Man X, created by Dr. Light years ago. Unlike the original, X can climb walls and cling to them. Like the original, however, you select a stage, go to it, and make your way to the boss and defeat it. Upon defeating a boss, you'll gain its special abilities. It's simple gameplay, but it works out just as well as it did in the original series.

Another highlight was how they introduced a key character. Zero. Zero isn't playable throughout the first half of the series, but in the later half he becomes a key player. He plays a very important role in the story.

In this collection, however, the games have been basically emulated. The emulation is perfect. Even the original passwords from the Super Nintendo versions will work. The soundtracks are unchanged, and they look almost exactly the same. There are a few differences. The original dialogue that was edited for the SNES releases has been restored (such as cusswords), and there's actually a bit of animated blood. Also, the slow down that plauged the cartridges has been fixed. Each game runs at good speed.

The only game that suffers horrible treatment is Mega Man X3. CAPCOM, for whatever reason, ported the PC version of the game, and the PC version wasn't all that great. The soundtrack sounds horrible, and I began to wonder why they skipped out on giving us the far superior Super Nintendo Version.

In addition, there's also a kart racing game called Mega Man Battle and Chase. It's a fun game, but the excitement of it drowns pretty fast. However, outside of that, there aren't nearly as many extras as there could be. For one, there are art galleries and that's about the only thing outside Mega Man Battle and Chase that's really worthwhile. I would've really liked to see some interviews and background on the series. The good news, though, the Gamecube and Playstation 2 versions are exactly the same. Both of them have the same unlockable extras, and if the controls bum you out, you can change them with no problems.

The other problem with the game is that like the original Mega Man Anniversary Collection, you're also getting games that were bad to begin with. The first four Mega Man X games are solid, but X5 and X6 weren't that much to get excited about in the first place(perhaps because by then the original developers of the series left). X5 and X6 also suffered some heavy criticisms by several fans. Still, six games for the price of thirty dollars isn't all that bad. And if you really didn't like them, you don't have to play them.

However, for what it's worth, it's nice to see this collection. There aren't as many extras as I had hoped for, but you do, for the most part, get some classics games. It's better than looking for the original SNES counterparts, and the look and feel of the games is still the same. It's great nostalgia for any fan of the Mega Man X series.

The Good

+Six games, for only thirty dollars

+Excellent Emulations-even the original passwords still work

+The look and feel is the same, meaning it's great nostalgia

+A seventh game is included Mega Man Battle and Chase

The Bad

-Later games in the series aren't nearly as good

-There just aren't nearly as many extras as there could've been

-They gave us the PC version of Mega Man X3. The audio is no where near as good on the PC version.

This has the best Megaman X games out there, I'm a big fan of X1,X2,X4 and X5, the menus/features aren't great and are lacking but it's the games that are important. All of the games work just as well as the originals and I feel they work best on the PS2 controller over the other consoles. All of the games are untouched letting the experience be as it was when they came out. It even has the PSOne version of X3 with better quality music, which is a big bonus since X3 is incredibly rare and expensive alone.

This has every game in the series up to X6, the quality of the games are mostly high though that's mostly up to personal taste. I honestly didn't care for X3 or X6 but the rest of the games are top-notch platforming with some of the best soundtracks in the genre.

There are some forgettable extras, a few bits of concept art, music, nothing you can't find online. Honestly the reason to get this is strictly the games which are 100% worth it.

The one big gripe I have with this collection is if you play it on PS2 through an component, it will NOT work, the games will not display though the menus will. I'm not sure why this is since I've played Sonic Mega Collection on the same set up and I've had no problems.

The collection does work on compatible PS3's via HDMI there's very slight controller delay which can be hard to take in a 2D platformer. However this can vary as I understand between monitors & set ups.

However with that problem it's still a solid collection as a lot of these games are hard to get and they are emulated really really well.

Back in the late 80's/early 90's, there were few names in gaming as beloved and hardcore as Mega Man. Time after time, Mega Man's games on the NES proved to be masterworks in hardcore gaming, and that classic series continued to stay on the NES even after the Super Nintendo was released. Then, in 1993/1994, Capcom introduced to the world a new kind of Mega Man to grace the more powerful system, and the gaming world would once again never be the same. Much like the classic Mega Man series, the X series would continue producing awesome hardcore gaming experiences for years to come (although it's definitely not as consistently excellent as the classic series, unfortunately). In traditional Capcom fashion, they produced a ton of X games, and now they've rereleased the first six onto a disc for your gaming pleasure, and what a pleasure it is.

The X series, from its very inception, was meant to advance the Mega Man name into a more hardcore direction, and it most definitely succeeded. Of course, the main gameplay retains the classic Mega Man formula. You go after 8 bosses with their own unique stage, you take on a final fortress series of levels, you gain new abilities and weapons from your vanquished foes, it's all about tight platforming and running and gunning, and so on and so worth. However, it's not just classic Mega Man with an "X" at the end of the title. New moves, health upgrades, and Light capsules that hold armor upgrades for X are attributes first introduced in Mega Man X, and quickly became series' mainstay elements. In later X titles, you could play the game as Zero, who utilized a totally different style of play with his melee-centric Z-saber focus and a "Weapon Get" system that totally differs from X's and is very unique. I love playing as both characters. They're both about as good as it gets when it comes to 2-D action platforming.

I love the story behind the Mega Man X series and this paragraph will be somewhat of a tangent about it. Much like the gameplay, the story took the Mega Man name into more mature, complex themes that resonate with gamers of all ages. It takes place 100 years after the events of the classic Mega Man games, and features a new cast of characters, villains, and a very different type of conflict. The story in this series often explores themes of betrayal, loyalty to your brethren, the philosophical implications of freewill in machines, and war itself. It's all quite awesome. The main character is X (the new Mega Man), and he has a whole cast of great support characters, including his greatest comrade and close friend Zero, who also becomes playable in later X titles in this collection. It's all great. I love the charming and fun aspects of the classic series, but the X series just appeals to me more from a narrative perspective. Each game has a fairly different story too. No "Wily was behind Cossack/fakeProtoMan/Mr.X the whole time!!!" stories, and I quite like that. Sigma may be the main villain in each X game, but X4 is a great example of moral complexity and ambiguity that makes the overall plot quite compelling. The whole notion that the absolute evil you face, Sigma, was once the greatest hero in the world, and that Zero, one of the most awesome heroes, was once evil and Dr. Wily's last and greatest creation, is just fantastic. X1, X4, and X5 are personal highlights, for me, when it comes to the plot. Great stuff.

The quality of the collection itself is quite awesome. The controls have always been very tight, and thankfully this collection really does work well on the PS2 and Gamecube both. I personally prefer the PS2 controller's d-pad, shoulder buttons, and overall button arrangement, but both are great to play (I personally own both versions). There aren't nearly as many extras on this one as the classic Mega Man Anniversary Collection, but there are some such as unlockable artwork, as well as a PSX Mario/Crash Bandicoot Kart racing clone with Mega Man, which is quite a lot of zany fun. All-in-all, a stellar job at compiling it all together, and of course, the core X titles are what make this collection a must-own.

If you fancy yourself a classic gamer who loves action titles, then it really doesn't get much better than Mega Man X. Sure, there are some weaker entries in the series (I personally am not fond of 3, and 6 is downright atrocious, in my opinion), but overall, the Mega Man X collection is a fantastic package of multiple gaming masterpieces that must be played. I really cannot recommend it enough. Any hardcore gamer will love this series. So buy it, go to war against the Mavericks who would rob the world of peace, and put an end to Sigma's evil, twisted ambitions!

Honest reviews on Mega Man X Collection - PlayStation 2

I've been waiting for this since the first Mega Man Collection came out. The anniversary collection they released with the original Mega Man games was fun, but I think every gamer who had played through all the old ones had some problem with it. Capcom figured out what exactly it did wrong, and really drove this one home.

One of the reasons this really shines as being just like it was on the original systems is because the controller designs line up naturally. The Super Nintendo and Playstation both have 4 "action buttons" if you will, so executing button combinations works out exactly the same on the Playstation 2 as they did on the SNES.

As for the actual games, they're exactly like they were on the old systems. Some people might be disappointed, but I was happy to see that there were no alterations in the graphics. Some people were wishing for more extras, but for me, the only thing I really wanted was all of the old X titles in one package (since the older games are hard to come by these days). Capcom did that.

I'd recommend this to anyone who really liked any of the X titles--as a general rule, the series started great and as new games came out, they got worse and worse. I think straying from side-scrolling was a bad choice, but that's the direction that graphics went. Sometimes the best games are the ones with minimal graphics, an obvious goal and a little bit of inventiveness. I think over time that inventiveness became really hard to come by.

Old Mega Man fans will not be disappointed. This collection is ahead of the anniversary collection that came out about 2 years ago by leaps and bounds.

A short while after releasing the solid Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Capcom wisely heeds the call of its fans for the re-release of the blue bomber's older, tougher, future self in Mega Man X Collection. Bringing another heaping portion of the finest 2D platforming around in six yummy courses, it even throws in a racing game and some extra goodies for dessert.

The X series debuted in the early 90's on the SNES with a darker, more mature feel designed to expand on the tried and true formula of the original NES titles. The main difference lies in the progressive, overarching plot dealing with human/reploid (fancy word for robot) conflict and some very grown-up ideas about this self-proclaimed 'race' of androids seeking freedom and realizing their dream of a robotopia. That's pretty intense for a side-scroller.

As far as gameplay evolution, the X games focus on collecting various ability upgrades and health extensions in addition to the old "kill the bosses and get their special powers" mechanic of the classic Mega Man. New actions like charge shots, dashing and hovering add a deeper set of variables to the equation and really flesh out the experience. Gone are Cut-Man and Dust-Man, as the baddies in X get wacky animal-based monikers like Spark Mandrill, Morph Moth and my personal favorite, Duff McWhalen.

Mega Man X through X6 are included in this fairly robust package, covering three SNES and three PSOne titles released over an eight-year period, and each game adds variation and depth to the experience. X3 introduces the mysterious, androgynous, light-sabering Zero as a partially playable character (think Proto-Man with a ponytail), and X4 tops that by giving Zero his own playable storyline. Things start to take a turn for the worse in X5 and X6, however, where the heavy plotlines and vast amount of upgrades start to buckle under their own weight. Ultimately, the bells and whistles of the PS titles hasten the slow decline from the series' original greatness by adding a bit too much drama and cheesy gameplay tactics.

All the games share the same sweet, distinctive art style of cartoonish robo-animals and colorful, interactive levels. The emulation is rock solid, and unlike the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, you can now configure your controller however you see fit. There's no noticeable difference between the PS2 and Gamecube versions, although the PS2's controller is better suited for hours upon hours of holding that charge shot while trying to dash-jump off walls.

Barring a strange audio loop plaguing the SNES games, the sound is spot-on, too. Nice, catchy tunes carry you through the whole shebang. The sound effects are faithful as well, although the PS titles tie annoying 'Yeah!' and 'Hah!' sound effects to every jump and attack, and I guarantee your ears will ring with the sound of a held charge shot after a few hours.

Password support is still in working order for X, X2 and X3, so feel free to skip to the end, but you're also able to simply save your progress to a memory card like the PS games. The incentive to bust through the first three titles lies in the fact that once completed, you'll unlock Mega Man Battle and Chase, which is a Mario Kart-esque racer that was only released in Japan. It's nice to see such a rarity, but why they buried it beneath three other games is mystifying. As you plow through the other games, you'll also unlock various art galleries and soundtracks to fawn over, if you're the type.

And it's hard not to be at this price thirty bucks for seven games ain't too shabby, even if a few of them aren't terrific. While the Mega Man Anniversary Collection contained more meat, there's simply a ton of robots to blast, dozens of armor capsules to grab, and really no good reason not to let ol' Blue back in your life once again.

Cheap Xbox 360 System Messenger Bag

Customer Ratings:

This bag is definately worth the money. It is super padded and fits everything for the 360. Its officially liscensed. I bought this because I wanted to carry my 360 on the airplane with me. Inside you can fit the power brick, the cables, 4 controllers, and the console. My ony complaint is that if you have 4 controllers like I do, then you more than likely have to put other accessories such as headset, etc into another bag. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of five is because you cant really fit any games into it. They should have made an extra zipper pouch on the front for games in my opinion. You can definately fit one game though right next to the console. And you shouldnt travel with a game in your 360, so if you are going to a friends house, you will need an extra bag or disc case for your games. But overall it looks great and does what it is supposed to do and that is protect my 400 console. I reccomend it to anyone traveling or for transporting it anywhere.

For those of us who like to take there 360 to friends houses or other social gatherings? Finding a way to transport our lovely consoles around has always been a challenge. I mean really, would you want to put something you paid $300+ in a backpack that's seen better days?

With the Xbox 360 Messenger Bag, it solves all the transport problems you need. The design of the bag is quite simple. It has a Main pocket and a Middle pocket. The Main Pocket is where you store your Xbox 360 console. However, at the bottom of the main pocket, there is a padded divider which folds up allowing you to store your AV cables, Power pack and Power Cord. Once the power cords are stored the divider folds down and acts as a padded floor for your 360 to sit on.

Once your 360 is situated inside the main pocket, the extra padding in the pocket allows for extra protection for your console. Once your 360 is situated in the bag, now you need to put your controllers in there. That's where your middle pocket comes in. The middle pocket is capable of holding up to 4 360 controllers. Beyond that are two side pockets and one mesh-zipped pocket that are located in front of the middle pocket followed by 2 mesh pockets on each side of the bag which are great for storing extra cables you might have.

And now for the cons:

Clearly, this bag was designed for the majority of 360 gamers who have gone wireless or have the basic accessories that came with their 360. After packing all of my gear into the bag, it became very clear that there would be no more room for extra accessories that I might consider getting in the future (I even had trouble finding room for my Xbox 360 Intercooler Black).

Beside room for extra accessories, there is absolutely NO room for you to store your game's. If you're one of those types who prefer to carry your games in their original Xbox 360 cases, then you might want to consider using either a plastic bag or use a CD case because you might have room for one or two games based on if you know where to put them and it was really easy for me since I only have two wireless controllers in the middle pocket and I only own two games.

So if your a basic gamer who just likes to hang out at a friends house and play a few of your favorite games with your buddies, then this is something you should have to help transport your console there.

This is the game that should have been instead of Enter the Matrix. It is so much fun playing as Neo on a Matrix game. I haven't finished yet; but for what I have played, I have been almost 100% satisfied with the game but like all games, this has a few flaws.

One of the good parts about the game is that the controls are excellent. Neo pulls off some awesomely fantastic moves. The graphics are points are great, but at other points not so great. I agree that they could have been better. The fun factor is great, it is fun. The game is long, I've been playing for a few hours and I'm still on the first movie. The game also follows the movie almost exactly; some parts can be changed if you choose to do things different that what was seen on the movie.

There are some down sides to this game. The camera angles sometimes moves to places where you can't see some of the things that are going on screen. When you die or skip the story, some of the noise is occasionally lost during some battles. The only other big problem I have seen with the game is what Jeffrey S. Stanley "Viper_29 said that when the guns are used and I lock on to opponents, when they die the lock automatically aims at the floor instead of the next bad guy and it can be at times frustrating.

Overall great game, fans of the Matrix will love it, but it does have flaws. I do recommend this game

First off, the only problem I have with this seller is that they never mentioned

that it was NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE, but beyond that, everything was satisfactory on

the seller's part.

I played this game years back, and I ordered it after watching the trilogy recently.

I opened the game and put it in my 360 only to find that the game is NOT BACKWARDS

Nobody had made comments on the product concerning this issue. I would have never thought

about this previous to having this specific problem. I am horribly disappointed and now I

This is the game "Enter the Matrix" had wet dreams about. Fluid control, a deceptively deep combat system, and more jaw dropping fight scenes than you can shake a 9mm at. The gun combat could be a little more finely tuned, but it works. Though who would want to use a gun when you can run across a wall, jump off and spear someone to the floor, pick them up by their legs, swing them around in circles, and launch them at a group of their homies? Because you can do that.

Honest reviews on The Matrix: Path Of Neo - Xbox

Hey, what can i say? THIS game is much more like what the first game should've been.

This game is not linear as other reviewer(s) have suggested.

Yes, it follows a VERY familliar story-line for fans of the series. But, this program allows you to act out some of the BEST battles that NEO had to offer within the trilogy.

The way they meshed the movie bits with a new perspective was very nice. 600 DIFFERENT ATTACKS! I think that's incredible.

Some are so creative you'll find yourself attached to them more than others. But, there are so darn many you may never use all of them! New characters written in by the Wachowski's , come new environments, and the original voice actors. Better graphics than the first, better action. Easier to control characters.

The only complaint i have is that your friends AI is not all too smart. Once in a while they'll walk right in front of you while you're shooting and bite the big one. Or, stand too close when you detonate a bomb and (again) bite the big one.

Other than that, this was as great as i expected it to be.

I'm not even a die hard fan of the movie franchise.

I am, however, a fan of this game. A fun program whether you're a hardcore fan or not. But, it does help to know at least a little about the movie first.

Okay, I have seen quite a few reviews on this game and people either love it or hate it. There is no middle ground. I have to say that while I haven't finished the game, I can report on what I have seen so far.

In regards to the graphics, I think this game pulls it off fairly well. I haven't noticed much of any lagging in the frame rate department. Yes, the graphics could have been better, but as they are I have no significant complaints. They are better than Enter the Matrix (ETM). They are definitely of a newer generation quality on the Xbox. While the graphics of the characters look good, there is a lot of background that also factors in. When you fight someone and knock them into a wall or other structure, that structure will break and reflect the hit.

The fighting system is fairly good. They have made it fairly simple and I never considered it a button mashing style. You basically have a few buttons that you use in addition to using the left joystick. You will accumulate moves as you progress through the game and also increase your "focus" which allows you to do all the famous moves from the Matrix universe such as dodging bullets and such. The training missions were a little long but they do help you to get a grip on the combat system. I have had several moments where I fought multiple opponents and had two attack me at once. I was able to grab them both as they swung at me and grabbed one hand and then the hand of the other and was able to defeat them while holding them together at the same time. It was one of the coolest moves I have ever seen in a game and it was silky smooth while it happened. You can move the camera angle during the fights and when you perform a special move the time will slow down and you can swing the camera to view it at any angle. Nice touch.

The shooting portion of the game is the one letdown here. You have to click the right joystick to draw the weapons and then you have to use the right joystick to switch from target to target by moving it left or right. The bad thing here is that you will continue to shoot a person even after they are dead. This makes you waste too much ammo. I had to switch back and forth from having my weapons drawn to switch to another target. Another annoying thing was that the camera lock would lock in a position even after the body of the person was gone. Again I had to click the right joystick and reclick it again to move on. The jump moves are nice when you engage the focus and you can pick people off from in the air.

There was a new ending rewritten for this game that is different from the movie. I haven't seen it yet but if I had I wouldn't post it to spoil it for any others playing the game. All in all it is a entertaining game that is worlds better than ETM. One thing when I popped it in the Xbox last night while playing it I definitely wanted to pop in my Matrix DVD to watch it again. This is definitely a renter for everyone. If you are a Matrix fan, you will most likely enjoy this game quite a bit. I could see a bit of influence from the Mortal Kombat games in the training sequence. When you play it you will probably see it as well. My local EB was able to hold a copy for me but they completely sold out of all the copies they had. They told me they were following the sales performance of this game but they suspected that it would be a sleeper hit. If sales of ETM are any signal, then this game will probably sell well into the millions. Give it a try. Chances are you will enjoy it enough to say "that wasn't a bad game at all". Enjoy.

Review of Xbox 360 Controller Custom Mod Kit - ORANGE - Thumbsticks, Dpad, RB

Customer Ratings:

Buttons all look great and work fine after some work. The Y button was a little too big, and would stick in the opening. Also the tabs at the base were slightly off center on the same Y button. A little sand paper on fixed the sticking, and cut the tab down a little. Nothing major, but enough that I give it a 4 out of 5. I would buy this item again.

These fit great. No negative issues to speak of. Fit into this housing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VH2WPQ/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4

just fine, no sanding needed.

Keep in mind that you are going to have to supply the control board, this doesn't come this or the housing. It's easy enough to take apart one of your old controllers though.

I purchased this to upgrade the looks of my wireless controller and it did a great job at that! The only complaint I have about it is the "Y" button stuck when I installed it. It needed to be sanded down some to make it work, but lucky for me the stock "Y" button is already an orange-ish color. The stock button looks identical to the aftermarket buttons. All in all I would recommend this product. It all fits very nicely in the controller and really upgrades the look for a very fair price.

First off, this game is a 4.5.

Am I the only one that didn't know this game came out? I never saw a single preview of it. Also, every site that I see just seems to describe it poorly, and I had no interest in it. Only after I saw a portion from Jess Chobot did I say that looks fairly interesting.

This game is basically GTA meets Assasins Creed I and Wolfenstein. It is sandbox like GTA, you get to climb around and do stealth kills like ACI, and it is a FPS where you kill Nazi ala the great Wolfenstein.

This is also a game where I dread Amazon's star system. Sure a 2.5 or 3.5 can be rounded up or down without much affect, but to me a 4.5 game is a 4.5 game. It is still a lot better than a 4, but not perfect like a 5.

CONS:

Music There is virtually no sound track. You have one in your car and in the cabaret. That is it. It is also pretty poor music. At first I thought, "Well, this does take place in the 40's, so it isn't like you can put Metallica in there." However, I absolutely loved Fallout 3's music, so that isn't really an excuse. I found myself singing the music to that game all the time when I was playing it.

Voice I have seen some complaints about the main character. Most people have a problem with his voice and that he is a stereotypical Irishman. Maybe they have never actually heard an irishman talk. It is pretty good. There are a couple french people that aren't that good though. Anyway, not bad enough to detract from the game unless you are just looking for something to complain about.

Replay Not really any replay value, but you do have a lot of extra goodies to pick up. There are over 1000. This would be a slight con.

PROS:

Fun This game is fun fun fun. Main missions and side missions are all fun.

Other There are plenty of weapons and cars although you will find yourself just using one or two, so they could improve on this a bit. Plus all the cars you find laying around suck, so you have to use one of your own, but you can summon your own almost at anytime.

Perks These are "achievment" like items that give your character bonuses, almost like a leveling system for RPG. They actually added more to the game than I thought they would.

Artistic Value I can appreciate artisticness, but don't "need" it. When you start the game everything is black and white except for lights, and red. So, the nazi flags stand out. It is actually very beautiful. As you inspire the Parisians, those respective areas get their color back. It makes for a very beautiful and unique game. I actually enjoyed the black and white look. It also added to the time that this is in.

Conclusion:

I look forward to the second one. They definitely left it open for one. His last words are I'm just gettin started! I think with some improvement on the perks along with some more stealth features and maybe some fighting features would be great. Add some more good cars to be found on the streets. Maybe an extra weapon or two. I would like to see a slight bit more emphasis on stealth too. Basically, I think with a little work, this game could be perfect.

Anyway, if you are looking for an absolute fun game to play, this is it. It is the best of most worlds game type. I have read a lot of reviews that it doesn't do this or that good. Well, it wasn't meant to be an FPS, so the weapons may be "arcadish", it isn't meant to be an RPG, so the leveling system isn't that complex. I will say that sometimes, climbing can be a chore. ACII is supposed to kill this on that aspect, but I thought it was pretty comparable to ACI. It also has a great storyline as well.

This is a great gift to any gamer, and now that the prices are dropping, it is worth the price as well.

Been playing this about 10 hours, and it's a lot of fun. 3300+ open world targets to blow up, upgrades galore, everything can be upgraded in this game. Health, armor, cars, weapons, demolitions, you name it. Very much a "play the way you want to" open world. Lots of freedom. A vertical world too, since you can climb anything!

If you enjoy sandbox games, definitely give this a chance. Not your average WW2 game that's for sure. I haven't run into any bugs yet, but then again, in 10 hours I have only covered about 10% of the game, if that. Definitely going to get your money's worth. Give it a shot.

Best Deals for The Saboteur - Xbox 360

I recently picked up The Saboteur for the Xbox 360 after being hesitant of the title after Pandemic Studio's last big title Mercenaries 2 had so many unfixed bugs in it. I figured the same would happen with The Saboteur and after Pandemic Studios got shut down, that about sealed it for me.

Nonetheless, I picked up The Saboteur anyway out of boredom.

To begin things, new copies of this game come with a free code for a download called 'The Midnight Show,' that can also be downloaded for a price off Xbox Live. This code inserts nudity into the game ~ nudity that you'll see right from the start. So, be warned of that if you have nudity sensitive people in your household. Beyond that, The Saboteur plays similiar to that of GTA4 or the 1st Godfather game. It's an open-world environment where you complete tasks, missions to get upgrades and whatnot to advance in the game. The game takes a que from Assassin's Creed, as well, as you can climb nearly any building, including the Effel Tower (did I spell that right?). Although, the climbing is nowhere near as polished as Assassin's Creed's, nor as polished as a GTA4 in the other departments. As for my concern about bugs ~ well, they're there. The most obvious I've come across is a stripper sitting... on the ceiling! With Pandemic Studios closed down, don't look for this game to get patched.. ever!

One thing unique about this game that I do like is the B&W color scheme in Nazi occupied areas, used to demonstrate the low moral of the area. It gives the game a nice look, but sometimes makes it difficult to see in shaded areas. As the Nazis are weakened, color returns to the area and Paris does look amazing.

Open-world fans will probably dig the game and the mission structure looks like it's going to provide a lengthy experience. So, if you can look pass the bugs and the subpar mechanics of the game, you might enjoy it.

Honest reviews on The Saboteur - Xbox 360

I absolutely love this game. Firstly, the game starts out zooming out to show a sexy, naked (If you enter the free redeemable code which comes packaged with every new copy of the game. ;) ), WWII Dancer, in a night club, surrounded my many many other naked ladies. If that isn't a plus, what is?! Secondly, the whole game is just downright fun. Sure, it's not very original, everything in it has been done, and probably done better, before, but it's just fun. The game starts out in black and white, and you need to rid each section of Paris of Nazi's in order to bring "color" back to the city.

I'm only about halfway through, but despite what other people say, I've yet to feel repetition. That being said, this is one of those TIFYS (Try it for your self) games, as it is not for everyone. To me, The Saboteur is a mix of Assassin's Creed and Mercenaries. This is a great, final entry from the late Pandemic Studios, and while it could have used a bit more polish, it is still a great addition to my collection.

Pro's:

-Sexy

-Sexy Setting

-Blowing up stuff is fun

-Engaging Story

-Great Graphics (Black and white areas look stunning)

-Fantastic Soundtrack, both the Orchestrated Pieces and the WWII music

-Slick presentation

Con's:

-Climbing buildings does exist, but it doesn't feel fluid like other games

-Combat could be better

The French Resistance is one of those shadowy organizations that poked its head out for one impressive run during the darkest days of Nazi occupied france. And while the success rate of Sean, our intrepid hero, is probably 10000% above where his real life counterpart made it, the experience is still impressive. The Sabotuer follows Sean, an Irish race car driver trapped in Paris and is sburban enclaves just after the invasion, and reeling from the murder of his best friend at the hands of a Nazi "scientist."

Graphics are fairly standard, up to snuff without any glorious trailblazing. The "Noir" color scheme, soft muted grays against with only the blood red nazi banenrs and arm bands stand out, is a pretty rejoinder that serves to spice things up.

Audio is also spot on, and the accents are done well without being so thick you need a translation on the translation. I do wish there were more people to talk to, as even canned conversations are preferable to a personal army of mutes.

Gameplay is surpisingly hit and miss. The immediate reminder is rather like infamous, clambering over structures to reach targets of opportunity. A collection of weapons and vehicles, as well as abilities improvements based on in game actions round things out nicely, but feel rather slapdash. The exchange system is a bit haphazard as well, as theres little in the way of loot, and thoguh they try to include snippets on what you collect, you can't bring yourself to care much, since its easier to bomb things. And bomb things you do. You set charges, and explosives, and rig booby traps, and plant munitions, and a few other analogys for slap a block of dynamite and light it with your lighter. And while it manages to hold its charm for a whiel, its eventually as repetitive as the sun rising in the east. Combats a decent mix of shooter and hand to hand, which is actually effective enough to justify, rather than feeling vestigial after laying hands on some guns.

On the downside, there are bugs. Lots of bugs. Bugs on top of bugs. Clipping issues, teleporting enemies, total failures of sound, and spotting problems, and flying cars were all spotted in multiple numbers within the first two hours of play. And some of the characters are ludicrious to the point that you think they're "special" rather than evil. The kind of monologue where you seem to be mudering a baby with one hand while devouring a live puppy with the other are nice for Bond villians, but should've been toned down to reality like levels. And their DLC seems to be reaching for the bottom of the barrel, as its advertisement seemed apropo to some areas of Las Vegas, but not being 13 anymore, I didn't feel compelled to shell out extra dollars for a "nudity" option.

For a swan song, the Sabotuer is okay. Not great, but definitely not a failure. Too much repitition of the "free gameplay" is balanced by some entertaining missions and dialogue. While the bugs are frequent enough to garner some serious stink, this latest nazi shoot is still worth a look.

I just picked up the Black Ops: II "Hardened" edition today because I wasn't sure if i wanted to buy this game and therefore didn't reserve it to get the "Nuketown" maps in both multiplayer & zombies mode....so I picked up the "Hardened" edition for $20 more and got both maps, a cool tin case for the game and 2 cheesy "coins" that I have no idea what to do with.

With that being said I've played an hour into the single player, 2 hours into zombie modes and another 2 hours into multiplayer. I found the outcome to be a cross between Black Ops and MW3.....the single player and zombie modes are Black Ops all the way. The multiplayer however just screams MW3...the guns, settings, lighting, graphics....just the overall feel feels like an expansion to MW3. It feels very far from the original Black Ops I must say....not a single "snowy" multiplayer map in sight (yet).

I'm not sure if that's good or bad, because I sold my copy of MW3 on eBay earlier after purchasing on opening day. I had beaten the single player mode and was frustrasted as all h**l over the campers in multiplayer, so I got out early and sold the game hoping to get some of my money back.

I do like the sound of the guns in this game though....sounds alot "beefier" and you can feel it when the gun shoots...like you're really shooting the gun yourself. I dunno...it's hard to explain unless you play the game yourself.

Zombie mode is just as great as in the original Black Ops...I think that's the part of BO I played the most!! There are 3 zombie maps in the game and an additional "Nuketown" if you purchased the Hardened Edition or pre-ordered the game at certain places. "Nuketown" is fun because it looks exactly like the original Nuketown in Black Ops....except for the destruction from an asteroid plummeting to earth and decimating the place(you just have to see for yourself). It's fun to play and I can easily see myself getting lost for hours trying to make it to that next "level" against the zombies in that map.

I could blab on about some other things, but if you like Black Ops for the single player and the zombie mode then I recommend this game. Multiplayer I'm still unsure of because it plays too much like MW3 and that for me brings back too many nightmares.....thanks to all the idiotic "campers" out there. *sigh* Wars aren't won sitting in corners people....gotta run out there and take what's yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha So yes, in my 2-hr multiplay with this game there are already campers starting to take their spots in the brand-spanking-new maps. Such a shame.....people have to play like wussies!

Thanks for reading & I recommend picking this up if your a FPS player!!! ~ Thank you!

Overall, this game earns a five-star rating based on five categories: graphics, campaign gameplay, multiplayer gameplay, zombies gameplay, and extra features.

Graphics: 4 Stars

The graphics in the game are not as beautiful as other games on the market, but they are still incredible in their own right. When you have three major, feature-packed gametypes on one disc, you may not be able to have the best-of-the-best graphics. However, Treyarch clearly improved on them from the first Black Ops. From gunfire and weapon detail to facial expressions and maps, the detail in the graphics are awesome.

Campaign Gameplay: 5 Stars

Without spoiling any of the story, the campaign mode is great. Treyarch implemented a few decisions for the player to make which can alter the storyline throughout the game. The story itself is as immersive and compelling as the first Black Ops. As you play, you will be drawn into the story as if you really are the characters you play.

Multiplayer Gameplay: 5 Stars

Improvements to the multiplayer aspect of the game are immediately apparent. The "pick 10" addition to building custom classes makes it so that the player can precisely tune their loadout to fit their exact playing style. For example: if you only use your primary weapon, you can forego a secondary for another attachment on your primary. There are many more ways to mix-and-match, which can only be explained through playing for yourself. The revamped prestige system now gives you the option to permanently unlock a weapon, grenade, perk, or wildcard per prestige level which is helpful to those who want to prestige without losing their "golden child". Other improvements include gamecasting, improved theater mode, and much more. Can be played split-screen up to two or online up to four. One guest per Live account is allowed.

Zombies Gameplay: 5 Stars

The flagship improvement to zombies mode in this installment of the Black Ops series is "Tranzit" mode. This mode allows you to ride a bus between four different maps (which can each be played in survival mode on their own), all while building items which can aid you in the fight for survival. "Grief" mode allows players to team up to see who can survive the longer individually, or as a group. Custom games allow settings like "headshots only", inclusion of "hellhounds", and an "easy" mode for more relaxed gameplay. Can be played split-screen up to two or online up to four. One guest per Live account is allowed.

Extra Features: 5 Stars

Nuketown 2025 for online play, Nuketown 2025 Zombies, two avatar gears (including a zombie suit), and a soundtrack are all included in this purchase. For the Black Ops nostalgics, the two Nuketown maps are a must-have. However, they will be offered as DLC for those who can wait.

Just got this game today and I must say I'm having a ton of fun. After MW3 I was skeptical whether or not the COD series could evolve but after playing this for a while you can see that Treyarch has really gone above and beyond to make this a great COD game. I played some multiplayer, zombies and campaign. The multiplayer is great and addictive as always and keeps me telling myself "one more game". The zombies which was one of my favorite things in Black Ops and WaW has been improved and now has its own campaign. The campaign although I have only played the first mission looks to be headed in the right direction. Great game.

Buy I Ninja

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this game mostly on a gut feeling that it was going to be fun. I found the pudgy ninja character to be hilariously looking, and the screenshots made the game look varied and creative as well. If I were to follow the "picky" reviewers I would've never enjoyed what I consider today an excellent action title.

The Game:

You start out as a white-belt ninja. There are five worlds to be visited (no spoiler here, it is in the instruction booklet). Each world has an x amount of stages. You earn grades by completing each stage. A certain amount of grades are required to reach a higher level belt (yellow, green, blue, red and black). There are different katana (sword) levels, earned by defeating enemy ninjas in combat (chickening out will not get you powerful swords). The katana is not the only weapon, there are also shurikens (bladed throwing stars) and explosive darts. Your character also builds up rage abilities in combat. There are four rage abilities (Berserka, Revive, Ninja Shuriken and I-Ninja) activated by you in different combat situations. You also collect coinage on every stage by defeating enemies, opening crates or walking to hidden spots. Coinage gives you the ability to play additional challenge levels called "bonus tests" and earn additional grades.

About winning:

Let's make something clear about the difference between winning this game and obsessively-compulsively completing the game 100%

To win the game you have to complete enough stages to earn a black belt and defeat Master O-dor.

You also have the choice of completing the game 100% (earn every grade including the ninja master grade and unlock a secret battle arena)

I admit that in order to earn a black belt you will have to visit some stages (not all of them) two and sometimes even three times, but what other reviewers haven't mentioned is that the additional stage missions are slightly different. For instance, an alternate mission on a given stage could be time-limited, or maybe you are required to collect red coinage, etc. Another important aspect not mentioned is that you don't necessarily need to repeat the stage immediately; you can wait until later to go back to the additional stages and by the time you do that it will be like you've never visited them before.

The stages are creatively designed, you'll always see the Ranx foot soldiers (enemy ninjas) scattered all around, but there's always something new to challenge you. Sometimes you even take the part of a giant rolling ball (reminded me of Marble Madness and Monkey Ball) among other things.

5 stars for an extremely entertaining, fairly challenging, playable and graphically charming game.

It is a good thing that I replayed this game, because it was much better than I remembered. You have at least that to thank me for.

The game begins a lot like many other ninja games and movies in existence. You, Ninja (yep, that's your name) must avenge your master's death (I think his name was Master). Well, actually, you killed him, but you sort of blame it on enemy ninja-robots (and samurai-robots) and their master Emperor O-Dor. What the game lacks in the way of an arch nemesis, it makes up in fart jokes. Because this game is, overall, funny. It is both droll and amusing, but manages to keep tongue-in-cheek.

The setup for the level select is nicely simple, and reminded me of Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger (the video game stupid, not the man). The Ninja roams about the land, which varies from town to town, righting wrongs. A group of levels (about three regular levels and one boss level) makes up an arena. Each arena has a subplot of its own, the first being the most creative (a giant robot, once the king of the beach, has been disassembled by the evil Emperor. You fight his minions to reclaim the robot's body parts, only to do battle with another giant robot when you've put the first back together (ala Godzilla)).

The advancement system was kind of interesting. With each level you complete, you earn ninja medals, which go towards your ninja belts, which in turn raise your ninja health. I am not sure if ninja mastery is shown by karate-esque belts, but hey, let's keep going. With every enemy robot you take down splurting green robot goo, you earn points toward your new sword, the purpose of which is to take down even more enemies faster than ever.

What the game does lack is extra features. Sure, there are jokes about people's grandmas, but beyond that there is not much else to do. Still, this game has a weird replay value. If you play it some, put it on a shelf for awhile, then take it down again, it still is fun to gruesomely smash your enemy's face into the pavement knee deep in sticky, green robot goop.

I-Ninja is a platformer game for the XBOX. You run around levels collecting money and killing bad guys (who also happen to be ninjas.) The levels have a futuristic design, with robots, computers, traps and lasers. Your character is a pint-sized ninja who does, flips, walks on walls, slashes with his tiny sword, swings across gaps, and grinds on rails. When you fight bad guys, your rage meter fills up until you go into hyper mode. In hyper mode you are very agile and your sword slashes are more powerful. You can gain new abilities and upgrade to bigger swords. Slicing enemies with your sword is fun and done tastefully enough so that younger crowds can enjoy. The main problem is repetition with the game because if you don't have enough belts you cannot enter the next level. So you need to repeat the same levels to gain more belts for level access.

Pros:

+excellent controls

+excellent graphics

+combo moves

+does ninja moves

+cool levels

+good music

Cons:

-very repetative

-levels very short

-very linear gameplay

-timed missions sucked

-no replay value

Review of Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2

Customer Ratings:

First of all, I want to ask to those who are rating this game with bad scores, why in the heck did you guys buy this game in the first place? Whatever your reasons are, I bought it for one reason and one reason only; to enjoy viewing of amazing scenery, beautiful graphics, and best of all, DOA girls. I'm pretty sure many people who played this game, whether it be from renting or owning, got it on their hands for the same reason that I bought it for. I'm sure there are some exceptions such as people who had to play for reviewing, got it as a present, or got it in any way without spending any money, but that doesn't change the fact that most of us are perverts and are fascinated by any sex related topics. However, many people are saying that they got it to play a volleyball game, but I find that hard to believe. Just think about this; why do you think that Tecmo developed a game like this? Because they know that most men are perverts and would get this so called "game" even when it's actually more of a soft porn rather than an actual game.

Basically, my point is that it's really funny to see that many of you guys are saying that this game sucks when it's real purpose isn't even to be played but rather, drooled at. It's just too ironic that people rent or buy this game knowing what kind of "game" (or in my case, porn) this is, only to end up bashing about it. Ultimately, it would be better if everyone just admit that they bought it for different reasons than to play it and just enjoy this sexually welcomed and fantasized game. Lastly, I prefer paying $20 for a "game" (which can be played for hours )and porn put in one rather than an actual porn that only lasts a few hours. Besides, if your mother catches you playing this porn, you can pass it off as a game. Can you do that with an actual porn?

For those who were forced to play or got this game for free, you ratings are perfectly reasonable. But then, once again, it wouldn't hurt to keep it in the shelves and pull it out every once in a while when you are in need of sexual desires. :)

I liked origonal game on Xbox and this one has much better graphics. The play is lacking in the Jet-ski race it's really hard and so is the water slide game.

Basically, the game is earn money and buy smaller bikinis to put your gal in.

You can earn the money anyway you want which is a nice change of pace.

Overall despite some control issues in the jet ski game this game is highly recommended.

So if you are looking for that fan type game to admire the girls of DOA this is your ticket. The stunningly gorgeous women of DOA on a beautiful tropic island complete with all the toys you'd ever want for some is a fantasy come true.

Having your DOA Gal Jet-ski as well as play beach volleyball was a nice added touch. The other minigames including Hopping Game and Butt Battle are actually fun also.

The Good: Super sexy, good visuals, fun mini-games

The Bad: Very hard to make friends, terrible English voices, extremely simple

I don't mind sexually driven games, but I like them to be good and done right. Xtreme 2 is the sequel to Xtreme Beach Volleyball for the original Xbox. Everything is in tact, with a few additions. The consists of 6 mini-games, and 5 casino games, but that's not enough to save this simple-minded game.

The whole point of the game is to play mini-games with other DoA ladies and earn their trust and friendship and this is harder than it seems. The game plays similar to a Japanese dating sim game, and it can take forever to buy a lot of the items, and learn how to become friends with these lovely ladies. You have to figure out what each lady likes, loves, and hates and send them gifts accordingly. All you get is a visual guide for each lady with pictures of what they like, but this doesn't help much. After you spend a whole two weeks at New Zack Island you pretty much give up trying to gain trust and friendship since it's so hard to figure out without some in-depth guide. After a tries you end up just playing the mini-games and ogling the scantily clad women lying around, and even dancing.

The mini-games are the most fun of the game with pool hopping, flag running, beach volleyball, jet skiing, and water sliding. Pool hopping consists of pressing the buttons according to what is shown on the floaties. This game tends to be very hard since it requires precise timing. Flag running is pretty simple, but the best game is probably volleyball. It has tight mechanics and controls and can be a blast to play. Jet skiing is very mundane since it's the same track over and over again, however, the water effects are nice and doing tricks on the ski can be fun. Water sliding is the hardest game of them all since it's so hard to stay on the slide and after you fall off you don't get another try. After you earn enough money from playing mini-games you can purchase a camera and take sexy photos of the ladies, and view them later in your album.

The casino is the second major part of the game that lets you really earn some bucks. All the games are pretty self-explanatory, roulette tends to be the most intense, but you can lose all your money in one go if you're not careful so watch how you spend your money. The casino is all in 3D so it's nice to view, but I wish you could walk around in it and see all your DoA lady friends playing in there as well. When you earn enough money you can go buy stuff at the store to give your lady friends or yourself.

The game really has no purpose except to ogle your favorite DoA girls and trying to buy the skimpiest bikini for them. The graphics are great and everything jiggles in all the right places. The audio is pretty mundane with Japanese audio tracks to cover the horrible English voice actresses. The game isn't serious, but it could be so much more, and I just hope DoA Xtreme 3 becomes more deep and involved. I just wish there would have been more interaction, and all the load times don't help either. The game is just to hard to figure out with the whole dating sim thing going on so just sit back and enjoy the women and mini-games. The game will make you choke your chicken for sure, so DoA fan boys (girls?) should pick this game up and enjoy it's simplicity.

Honest reviews on Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2

DOAX2 appears on the outside to be a chauvanistic, over-sexed game where the sole purpose is to watch each of the characters endowments sway like sentient parasites struggling to esacape and find a new, less ditzy host body.

Yes, There are boobs. LOTS OF BOOBS. And I'll be honest. It's why I bought the game. But, surprisingly, Team Ninja has created something here, something that is unexpectedly... fun.

There are a whole host of games to play, including super waterslides of death, pool hopping, jet-ski racing, flag dashes, blackjack, roullette, slot machines, and of course, beach volleyball.

I was surprised by the quality of the gameplay; this game controls very smoothly, from the volleyball matches to jet-ski racing. The graphics are gorgeous, featuring realistic looking environments, with water that looks so real, it makes you want to go for a swim yourself.

The story is lacking, but, storylines in a glorified minigame collection never matter.

Over all, once you get past the hyper-sexed nature of the character designs, the game is surprisingly fun, and can keep you entertained for hours at a stretch.

Parents should remember to enforce the "M" rating though, as some of the swimsuits are so skimpy, they have to be bluured on cable telvision!

DoaX2 was just like Doax except somewhat harder. You competitors are harder, the suits are more expensive and the graphics are better. It's basically the same game, with more mini games included, that's all.

This charger burned and melted my controller. I immediately contacted the company and, weeks later, got a response asking me to send back the product. I sent it back a month ago and have heard nothing in response, nor received a replacement, refund, or any sort of compensation or communication since. I do NOT recommend this company or its products and warn any and all from purchasing anything from CTA.

I love this charger. It's so easy to use and it works great. Like others have said it does do a clicking sound, but either it's faded over time or I got so used to it that I don't even notice it anymore. I've had the device for about 2 months now, but now I have a problem with it that I need to figure out.

My third charging section had actually MELTED the controller clip and it stopped functioning. I'm a little worried about using it now (the other two sections that is) as I wonder if the thing is a fire hazard or not...

Honest reviews on Vertical Induction Charger for 3 PS3 Controllers

This is a great charger. The pieces that fit on the controllers are light and easily go into the controllers. The controllers rest to charge with no hassle. Great solution without worry of damaging your controllers like other chargers. Slightly more expensive, but well worth the 10 or 15 dollars more you pay.

BLIND:

The City of Cincinnati has requested that you please make the blue glowing LED brighter, as it currently only lights up a two block radius.

DEAF:

The awesome loud clicking sound makes movie night that much better. Who wouldn't want to hear the sweet soothing sound of electrical switches flipping continuously?

DUMB:

It's super great for making that fourth controller of mine feel completely left out.

Also, the first unit crashed and burned after about a week. And one of the three charging inserts doesn't actually work. The good news is its actually made out of black plastic.
