Probably one of the best Sonic games to be released but it definitly could have been improved, the idea of a Werehog probably made me the most angry. When I play Sonic all I want to do is run really really fast and collect circles that go ping. The speed levels were fanominal, but the Werehog brought the games intensity down. - Scoot

This is the Greatest game I have ever played, no doubt. The game's graphics are so realistic, you even can imagine yourself in a place like Rapture. The AI is far above advanced, they act like real people until they come after you for your ADAM. The story is by far the best storyline I have seen. The difficulty is just right, not too hard not too easy. The controls could have been improved but this has to be one of the best games ever created.

Probably the reason that alot of people bought the Xbox 360, Halo is one of the greatest storylines I have seen. Halo: Combat Evolved did not really have a storyline besides run around and shoot. Halo 2 was the ground breaking climax of the Halo story. Fighting through the entire game and having the unexpected alliance at the end. And Halo 3 tops it off. The story finally ends with a very depressing yet, the very ending we were all hoping for. But is the Halo game done?
Hint: There will be more.

This is probably one of the greatist sonic the Hedgehog games you will ever play (despite what other people think) It looks realistic even if you don't have it in Hi-def and the controls are good and responsive. Its a fun game you will play for hours and even more after you've beaten it. Tho Sonic's speed is a little slow it is still a great platformer that everyone should have

Two words: Mirror's Edge define one of the greatist games EVER. You are a runner who's discovered corruption in the city of the futures core and now you are being hunted down. It is unfortunatly very VERY short only about 5 hours long but it is an amazing and dizzying platformer which may make you a little afraid of heights at times but is quite possibly one of the greatist titles of all time.....if only it were longer

Guitar Hero...Either you love it or hate it, In my case I love Guitar Hero and this is probably one of the best Guitar Hero's Out right now. It doesn't Even matter if you don't like Metallica, If you like Guitar Hero, this game is for your pure improvement, almost every song has a solo, so you can work on your hammer-ons and such.

Where is the storyline Nintendo???? Where is it? The only thing that keeps bringing this game down the tubes is the lack of a storyline. Its the only reason people bought a Wii hoping for a Storyline that doesn't involve just battles. The Wii system was a bust and the only thing that keeps it alive is Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the old people that think Wii Fit is going to make them better.

I finally play the game and I am some what amazed and somewhat dissapointed, and yet somewhere not surprised either. The game has the best graphics you will see on a Wii game and the Difficulty is just right, but other things just pissed me off. The controls suck (NO DOUBT) this game's controls are always late or just completely unresponsive at all. The gameplay is not fast at all, at some points it is fast but on most levels you have to stop and make sure you don't hurt any townspeople, if you hurt one townsperson that instantly guarantees you less than an "S".

Ok, take one look at the cover of Sonic Rush and you're probabily not all that impressed huh? But pop that game in and start it up and your hooked for weeks on end. Sonic Rush changed everything i ever thought a Sonic the Hedgehog handheld game could be, it has speed that is incredible, the graphics are great for a DS game, and the storyline is amazing and you'll want it to keep on going. Trust me Sonic Rush is a game you will love even if you despise the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Sonic Rush Adventure (sequel to Sonic Rush) has blaze the cat fufilling her promise to see sonic again, only this time throw in wave boarding, Submarine sailing, Pirates, Giant Robots, and the end of the world. Sounds awesome huh? well in my oppinion sonic rush adventure is an amazing sequel to Sonic Rush and the storyline ie EPIC. Also you will be using the stylus a lot more which just doesn't really seem right for a sonic game (but sega does pull it off quite impressively) So this is the game to buy if you wanna rock your socks off!!!!!
(also hence the title there's a whole lotta unneccicary adventuring)

Call of Duty W@W is an amazing shooter don't get me wrong, but it's just really easy to beat and uhhhh you kinda know who's gunna win here (if you don't the allies win) so it takes some of the suspense outta the game's storyline since we already know the outcome. That being said the game is still amazing and is one of my top 5 games ever (mostly for Online play) and if you own a Playstation 3 or an XBOX360 you need this game.

Sonic Rivals 2 is the sequel to the game Sonic Rivals (also for psp Rated 6.5 -gameinformer) Now sonic rivals 2 does add more characters, bigger levels, and a better storyline......but it still has the potential to be so much better than it is. When you get this game you will be hooked for about an hour then be sick of having to do the same level 8 times to beat the game (and you don't even get a super sonic level) Also the races are just plain EASY AS HECK. Soon Sonic Rivals 2 will just be a game you'll pop in 5 years from now because you'll be bored and wanna prove you can still kick @$$.

SEGA Superstars Tennis is a very fun game that is great when you have friends over. The controls are good, and easy, there's no boring storyline, Sonic's good in it, and the special moves keep the game intresting and fun. This game will have you hooked trying to unlock everything it has to offer and playing the amazingly fun Mini-games with friends. And if you can't get friends over then go play online!

Again what we expect from Sony is a game that is sure to kick some total ars. And Killzone 2 delivers what many were asking for, but not everyone got what they wanted. The storylione in Killzone was fanominal, in Killzone 2 it was extremely overrated. It was okay but even I could have thought of ways to improve it. But overall playing it was very fun and the online multiplayer was more than i expected.

This is a game you don' want to miss. Unless you are out a friends. Yes thats right I'm sure you are slowly processing what we are about to say. Yes, you better have a freiend to play this game otherwise your fu*ked! The game is pretty low diffculty but once you get passedth first couple missions, you start to realize if you are playing by yourself that this achievement of beating the game looks alot harder, so my suggestion GET FRIENDS. The graphics aren't anythng we havn't seen before. Basic nex-gen graphics, not the best but not the worst. And the storyline........ all you wanna do half the time is say...HUH?????. The controls are amazingly eay to get used to in my opinion but remember that is only my opinion.

One word will describe this entire game, SQUARE, for god sake when i played this all you gotta do is sit there and rapidly press square, don't even look at the screen, because you don't really have to! The gameplay sucks, and the graphics...I've seen better on PS1 versions of Spyro. The story was.....wait a minute, WHAT STORY, its not even worth calling it a story. And the controls...who fu*king needs them??? ALL YOU NEEED IS SQUARE!

Well, well, well. The new Halo is actually kind of like old Halo. The new Halo Wars takes place 20 years before the Halo event. Even though that's the case, it actually is pretty interesting. Though it's an RTS game, for an RTS, it is one of the best. I personally like RTS games which is why I probably like this as well. The graphics are as realistic as they get, when I first started the game, I ran downstairs to grab a drink, I came back up and I started yelling at my brother for changing the channel. Then I realized that (Holy sh*t, THIS IS THE GAME.) For an RTS, it presents a new challenge around every corner. Now all we need is a FPS Halo with these graphics.
