I'm going to make this brief, because I have a feeling I will be re-treading the same ground and bringing up the same issues that many reviewers before me have already highlighted.

The original Halo was 'Combat Evolved' but this feels more like an inbred throwback. As far as I am concerned, Halo 3 isn't just a bad Halo game, it is a bad game full stop.

Where do we start? It's too short. Much too short. The plot really suffers for this as well; in fact the plot has been steadily unravelling since the original Halo. The ending is marginally better than Halo 2, but that isn't exactly high praise. The levels are far too linear, with none of the wide expanses of the first Halo, or the urban environments of Halo ...

Advantages: everything!

Disadvantages: doesn't come with a rechargeable battery...

I've liked games for a long time, since I was a little kid. I've used a lot of controllers before; pretty much all the Nintendo consoles, SEGA Consoles, all the Playstations and the original Xbox.

I use to be a Playstation man, but after my PS2 broke two times with laser errors, I had enough with Playstations and decided to get an Xbox. I remember waiting in the day it was meant to arrive, and I eagerly opened up the box and set it up. As soon as my hands clutched the Xbox controller (please note I purchased the Xbox a while after its release and my Xbox was shipped with the newer Mini S Controller), I fell in love with it.

Firstly, yes, it is overpriced on Amazon (Gamestation are selling it for only £29.99) hence the 3 stars.

If you can get it elsewhere, then it really is a great package. I'm a teenage boy and I enjoy Viva Pinata. Haven't played much, but it's good fun for a bit. Forza 2 is all right if you're into racing games, and is good in multiplayer. Great graphics on both games, and I'd give them both 4 stars. The only thing to watch out for is the games come in one box, with the discs stacked inside, and the cover art is half Viva/half Forza. If you love your boxart, then you may have to get a spare box and print the original yourself.

The wireless controller is great, and so responsive. I prefer the wired controllers, purely for the weight, ... Read More:

First off let me say ive always been a massive fan of the Pro Evolution series and I have owned every one ever right from the first on the Playstation called ISS Pro I still play Pro Evo 4 on the PS2 and Pro Evo 6 on my pc but as far as my Xbox 360 is concerned there has yet to be anything like a next generation game.
Pro evolution 08 on Xbox360 is dreadful for a start the gameplay is too fast. Gone are the great hard fought 1-0 wins now its likely to be a 5-5 draw in 10 minutes. It has become a pinball speed type arcade game with some players running like Olympic sprinters on steroids. The graphics are poor and the editor is next to useless. I just hope Pro Evo 09 will be good but so far on the next generation consoles Konami have failed to produce ... Read More:

5.FIFA 08 (Xbox 360) from: Electronic Arts

 : FIFA 08 (Xbox 360)
I have always been a Pro Ev guy, way back to the days when it wasn't even called Pro Ev! I had always preferred the playing system, gameplay and basically everything about it compared to Fifa. I always felt that Fifa was a stilted game which did not allow any fluency or imagination whatsoever. Basically, i thought that if you understood football you would prefer Pro Ev.

I recently purchased the new Pro Ev and as usual noticed a few changes here and there but nothing groundbreaking. The game seems to have got slower as each new version arrives. I then read the reviews on Fifa 08 and when i noticed the price i thought why not?

I have been very impressed. This is the closest you can get to real football on a video game in my opinion. The ... Read More:

I ordered this play & charge kit, as I was told it was an official microsoft product from a seller called 'ambertouch' the kit that arrived is an unofficial play and charge kit.

I plugged it in, waitied about 6 hour and the battery still did not charge, also the kit got VERY hot, hot enough to burn your hand.

Would not buy this product ever again, as the unofficial version is clearly dangerous and does not work.

This game is quite good, I play a wide range of 360 games and this is a very good racer. The career mode is good and the graphics are really nice, however I have my most fun with this game online, playing against friends and entering ranked races. Not as good as PGR4 or Moto gp 7 but still a good game.

I am a great fan of Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2. It is a game when you must use your brain and shooting ability. So do not buy if you are impatient as you will be killed very easily. I love online gamplay where there are 3 seperate campaigns with up to 16 players at one time plus many more game types. I reccomend to play the game on elevated risk as all other game difficulties are boring and unchallenging. This is muc better than Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Splinter Cell Double Agent. I admit the game is rather short but in my eyes I do not really care it is a great game and all Xbox 360 gamers should have it. I have submitted the 68th best single player campaign in the world on elevated risk. It is a must buy!

After having the previous two installments of Call of Duty 2 & 3 on Xbox 360 which were both set in world war 2, I was at first, a little dubious about the switch to modern day. I love WW2 games, CoD 3 was a shining example of a classic WW2 title, epic, cinematic battles, great visuals, and a fantastic array of weaponry really set the game apart from its competitors. Online is where Cod 3 excelled. It was awesome. Enough Said. Number 4 has a lot to live up to.

On to the new version. Firstly the campaign. It is nothing short of epic. Every level is a masterpiece in engaging the player in the surroundings and sucking them into enormous firefights that are truly spectacular. The atmosphere in the levels is very intense and leads to an extremely dramatic conclusion ... Read More:
