A massive horde of fun-loving zombies has just jumped the fence at the edge of your yard, slowly creeping toward your house. There's only one thing that stands in the way of these brain-eating monsters getting to your own pink, healthy brain — your garden. It seems like an unlikely army, but it's all you've got. Use your leafy arsenal to zap these zombies and defend your home in the Game of the Year award-winning Plants vs. Zombies for Xbox 360.With new multiplayer action for Xbox 360, Plants vs. Zombies will have you fighting alongside a pal to fight the zombies, taking on challenges and even going wall-nut bowling in Co-op mode. When alliances fold, choose to play as plants or zombies and challenge your friend as the opposing force. An all-new mini game, Heavy Weapon, lets you slide your super-powered peashooter from side to side. This game also comes with two bonus games, Peggle and Zuma for even more fun after you've taught those zombies about the power of horticulture.

Here's a great collection. In one set you get Peggle, Zuma and Plants vs. Zombies. Three highly enjoyable games.
Zuma takes the player on a journey through an Aztec inspired temple. In this game, you shoot multi-colored balls into a line of similarly colored balls in an attempt to clear the screen by matching three or more of th same color. But you have to work fast or the whole line will be swallowed up. Colorful graphics and lots of non-viloent action make this a great game for all ages (might be a bit challenging for some ages#. Zuma is fun and addictive.
Peggle is a pachinko inspired game where the object is to clear the screen of orange colored pegs. You shoot a small pinball into the screen in an effort to hit as many pegs as you can with each shot. Strategy is a huge factor in Peggle as you must take position and the fact that the pinball bounces into account. There are some awesome power-ups to help you along the way. Fun and challenging.
The highlight, of course, is Plants vs. Zombies. An excellent strategy game where you must defend your property against hordes of zombies bent on eating your brains. Your weapon in this battle are plants with various powers. Pea Shooters shoot peas at zombies, cherry bombs explode to reduce zombies to cinders and chompers eat zombies. There are lots of other plants to choose from #just be sure you plant plenty of sunflowers). Mini-games, puzzles and survivl give Plants vs. Zombies lots of replay value. Plants vs. Zombies is one of my all time favorites. An addictive game that engages your mind in the battle against the undead.
This collection is great for non-violent, family friendly fun. All three games are highly recommended.

One of the best 3D fighters ever!
on March 21, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
I have been a fan of Tekken since the original Playstation and this game is a welcome addition to the franchise. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 boasts lots of action, superb HD graphics, a great musical score and responsive controls.
In this game, you can select solo or tag team play and you have a roster of no less than 50 characters to choose from. If you have a favorite Tekken character, he or she is most likely in the game. The control scheme is the same as in other Tekken games, with a button that controls either punch and either kick. Basic moves are easy enough to pull off and, once you've mastered the controls, you can execute some insane combos for heavy damage. You can also customize your favorite character's appearance. Gameplay is fast and responsive and the controls qucikly become intuitive.
I just wish this game had Tekken Bowl (if it's in there, I heaven't unlocked it yet). The first Tekken Tag Tournament had Tekken Bowl, a bowling game with the Tekken characters. I think it would have been fun to have that in this game.
Tekken is still the king of 3D fighters! If you're looking for a game with lots of action and tremendous replay value, this is it. I strongly recommedn this as part of any 3D fighting fan's game library. Get Tekken tag Tournament today and master the Iron Fist Tournament.
What's great about it: Lots of action and brilliant graphics
What's not so great: No Tekken Bowl

Kickin' it old school
on March 20, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This is easily one of the best retro collections ever. I owned a Sega Genesis many years back and this collections has most of my favorites. It's great having Sonic the Hedgehog, Columns, Streets of Rage, Shinobi and Vectorman all in one collection.
The controls work very well, which I am thankful for. I have played some retro collections where current controllers were not taken into account, but Sega has worked these games so the XBOX 360 controller works perfectly with all games.
The graphics may be dated, but the fun is not. Many of these games still hold up alongside the current generation of games and are still a lot of fun to play.
It's also interesting to see how the graphics of the Genesis games evolved over time as technology improved. Play an earlier game like Alex Kidd or E-SWAT and then play Vectorman 1 or 2 to see what I mean.
There are a few minor bugs in terms of sound and graphics in a very small number of areas, but nothing that will have any real effect on your enjoyment of the games. These were probably in the original games.
Also, the original Genesis cartridge for Sonic & Knuckles had a feature that let you play as Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic 2 and 3, but that is not in this collection for some reason (maybe it will be a future download).
Despite these two minor issues, I would recommend this to anyone who ever had a Sega Genesis or who has an interest in retro gaming.
What's great about it: Lot's of great SEGA Genesis games
What's not so great: a few minor bugs, and you can't play as Knuckles in Sonic 2 and 3

The Reclaimer saga begins!
on March 16, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This is one of the best games I've ever played.
In HALO 4, the war between Earth and the Covenant has ended but a new evil has awakened. SPARTAN 117 aka the Master Chief (that's you) is all that stands between Mankind and extinction. As usual, a very well developed story, one that sets the stage for HALO 5.
This game offers the same high quality gaming experience that longtime players have come to expect from HALO and delivers with with stunning HD graphics, flawless control and lots of exciting action.
There are new enemies to face, plus new weapons along with returning favorite weapons and vehicles. The world of HALO 4 is brilliantly rendered, the realistic Earth ships and the TRON-esque alien worlds all look great. A truly compelling experience.
I can't recommend this game stongly enough. If you have an XBOX 360, this is an essential addition to you game library. If you don't have an XBOX 360, here's a great reason to get one!
What's great about it: All new story, same great game.
What's not so great: N/A

The original classic reborn
on March 16, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This is a great game. HALO Combat Evolved Anniversary takes the very first HALO game and upgrades it to HD.
In HALO, Humanity is fighting a losing war against an alien empire called 'The Covenant'. An Earth space cruiser finds an artificial ring-shaped world called 'HALO' #hence the title# and crash lands with the Covenant in hot pursuit. You assume the role of SPARTAN 117, the last survivor of a series of super soldiers in a pitched battle to survive Covenant attacks and to uncover a mystery locked deep within HALO itself. The story is the same as the original XBOX game, but with the addition of some foreshadowing to HALO 4. HALO boasts one of the best developed sotries of any game and, in my opinion, the best developed story for any FPS.
The HD graphics are brilliantly detailed and the sound is improved over the original XBOX version. A very nice showcase for what the XBOX 360 can do. The controls are easy to pick up and the gameplay is great. Whether your on foot armed with one of the many awesome weapons or at the helm of one of the cool vehicles, the controls are flawless. There's lots of exciting action in HALO and some truly suspenseful moments near the end of the game.
343 Industires has done a great job with the HALO Universe and the series looks to having a very strong future. I'm really hoping for an HD version of HALO 2.
What's great about it: HALO Combat Evolved in HD
What's not so great: I want an HD version of HALO 2!

Another story
on March 14, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This is an outstanding FPS and a great addition to the HALO Universe.
This game takes place in the city of New Mombassa and follows a team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) as they try to regroup and to survive the Covenant invasion. You play as several different characters as the story progresses and even get a new perspective on the invasion.
There's all the exciting action, great gameplay and brilliant graphics you expect from HALO. Whether on foot or piloting a Warthog or a Scorpion tank, the controls are fluid and responsive.
As with the rest of the HALO series, this game has a very well developed story. HALO has one of the ebst concieved stories of any game franchise and this is no exception.
HALO 3: ODST has actually become one of my favorite HALO games and I would certainly like to see more side-story games like this one.
Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Excellent addition to the HALO Universe
What's not so great: Master Chief does not appear

Oh, Boy! This game's swell!
on March 12, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This game is lots of fun to play.
In Epic Mickey 2, Wasteland, a home for forgotten toons, is once again threratened. The inhabitants of Wasteland call on none other than Mickey Mouse to save Wasteland from destruction. In his quest, Mickey teams up with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, on of Walt's first creations.
As the game progresses, Mickey and Oswald travel a world made up of locations that look and feel like delightfully twisted versions of Disneyland and Disney World attractions such as 'Ventureland' (instead of 'Adventureland'# and Ostown #instead of 'Toon Town'#.
This is one of the best action platform games I've played. The decisions you make actually have an impact on how the story proceeds and even on the ending itself #you can decide whether or not you want your conscience to be your guide#. The story is very well developed and takes lots of twists and turns. There are lots of hidden quests to unlock which gives the game great replay value. The graphics are great and the music is superb, nice showcase for what the XBOX 360 can do. A high quality game all around.
In single player mode, the CPU controls Oswald and you control Mickey. Mickey has a magic brush that can paint or thin toons and Oswald has a remote control that can operate machines and shoot electricity.This game is enjoyable as a single or two player experience. The controls work very well and are easy to pick up. Some levels are quite challenging, yet not frustrating. If they make a new Kingdom Hearts game, I hope they include Wasteland as a world.
An HD version of the first Epic Mickey is not included. That would have made this a perfect set, I got into the story and I'd like to know more about how it started. I don;t have a Wii, so I never played the first game.
This game is perfect for Disney fans and fans of action games. Lots of fun for everyone.
What's great about it: Fun and surprisingly challenging game
What's not so great: Doesn't have the first Epic Mickey

One of the best crossovers yet!
on February 25, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
What happens when you mix the best 2D fighting game around with characters from the best 3D fighter around? You get Street Fighter X Tekken!
This is a brilliant cross-over fighting game! Characters from Street Fighter and Tekken duke it out in fast-paced and exciting 2D fighting mayhem. The controls work like Street Fighter and are quick and responsive and you have the option to customize the control layout to suit your preferences. The HD graphics are outstanding, all characters are rendered Super Street Fighter IV style and the animations are smooth and fluid. I love the backgrounds, there's so much great detail in the animations and the rendering of the backgrounds, my favorites are the Jurassic research lab and the Antarctic hovercraft.
Some of the SF moves are altered a bit, but that actually makes some easier to execute. Also, you choose a team of two characters, and you can switch as many times as you like but if one is KO ed, then the round is over, this adds an element of strategy to the gameplay. If you are expecting an exact clone of Street Fighter, think again.
The story is very well thought out and deeper than in most fighting games. The story creates a world where Street Fighter and Tekken mesh very smoothly and involves a rivalry between Shadaloo and the Mishima Zaibatsu and a quest for an object of tremendous power.
Some of the characters sound better in Japanese and others sound better in English. Chun-Li sounds better in Japanese but Nina sounds better in English. The game gives you the option to choose Eglish or Japanese voice for each character.
Some characters I like are not in the game. I think it would be cool to have Sakura, Blanka or Rose from Street Fighter or Christie Montero, Jack or Alisa from Tekken in the game, maybe they will be DLC characters!
This is easily one of the best 2D fighters around and now I am really looking forward to Tekken X Street Fighter!
What's great about it: Excellent 2D fighter
What's not so great: Some characters missing

Finish the fight
on February 23, 2013
Posted by: XAvenger
This is an excellent game.
In HALO 3, the Covenant have taken over Earth and the Elites have turned against the Prophets. It's up to the Master Cheif to bring an end to the war between Earth and the Covenant and to save Humanity from extinction. The story is well thoguth out and well executed. HALO still has the best developed story of any FPS.
The HD graphics look great. Lots of detail and fluid animation. Gameplay is top notch, the controls work very well and the action is fast and furious. The vehicle controls work very well. The music is also of very high quality.
This is a great game all around, but not as great as it's predecessors, nor is it as great as HALO 4 or HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It's an outstanding game, it's just in a franchise that is of extreme high quality and it's hard not to compare it to the rest of the series. A weak HALO is still far better than most series at their strongest.
I recommedn this game to fans of sci-fi and action, as well as anyone who has an XBOX 360. If you're looking for a solid FPS with lots of action, this is a great game to get. And you can't beat the 'Platinum Hits' price.
What's great about it: Top quality FPS
What's not so great: Not up to the standards of other HALO games
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bad disc - TWICE
By QuoteMe from Los Angeles, CA
About an hour into Episode II, the disc freezes a bit and seems to skip. Returned to store for a hassle free exchange. The same problem with the new disc at the exact same spot!!!! Haven't had a chance to view all the other discs but what a disappiontment. Question is do I exchange again or simply ask for a refund???? Anyone else have similar problem?
I've had no problems

You might want to try sending the discs to 20th Century Fox for a replacement.
I've had no problems whatsoever with any of the movies. Of course, I've plyed them on my PS3.

Good Movie If You Don't Have A Sony or Samsung
By Enchanter from Trenton, MI
Lots of talk with the First Class movie not working with Sony. It would not work with my Sony BDP S350. Which is NOT 3D. I had to disable the internet connection "Do not allow disc to access internet" or some such. Then I had to delete the data file the Xmen movie had already installed when I tried to watch it the first time. This isn't easy either as it normally doesn't display the stored data in the setup menu. I had to do this by inserting an invalid disc. In this case the digital copy. Then I got the menu to delete the First Class data file. What a pain, I'm watching this now and it BETTER be good, lol. If your not up to this then get the DVD. Hope this helps someone.

I have had no problems with watching the Blu-Ray on my PS3 (a Sony player). You may want to update your firmware

Good value for the money. One BRD issue.
By burrisd from Fredericksburg, VA
As a Star Wars fan I find this a good value for the money. I have a problem with the blu-ray discs, which is in no way a fault of Best Buy. Every single disc seems to enter a pause mode during the movie and then speeds up without audio. I have to stop playing the disc and restart it again. This happens regardless of which blu-ray player I use. Other than that, I would recommend this product.

Your firmware may need to be updated.
