Got this game because I needed a good professional racing game. Some people complain that this is not a true sim like Gran Turismo. Well sometimes I dont want that. I usually just want to pick up the controller and race without tuning a transmission and suspension for 3 hours first. It has a nice selection of cars. My 2 cars are in the game. I can tell you they got the BMW cockpit down to the last detail. Uncanny. I feel like Im in my car. Nice selection of tracks and great variety of race styles. I am finding it very fun to play. Also want to mention I really enjoy how accurate the cars sound. I would def recommend this game if you want to play a game that is like the old Gran Turismo games. Not too involved with the technical aspects of racing and more about the fun. I want to also point out that if you desire such detail the game allows for advanced tuning techniques and upgrades. Overall a very nice game. Small learning curve too. I use the controller and find it very easy to control the car. But I also have a lot of experience with racing games. I could see some people having trouble learning the controls. My advice is to use the default config. R1 accelerate L1 Brake / Reverse X Handbrake O Nitrous SQUARE View. Very simple layout.
What's great about it: In-Car view, sound, detail, fun.
What's not so great: Some minor quirks but nothing major.

This is one of those albums that you talk about years from now. Unforgettable and timeless music that is told in a storytelling manner. A talent that hasn't been properly used by a newcomer since BIG. You wont find bragging baby rap here. The lyrics are deep and seem somewhat personal to Cudi. His voice is like silk over the worldly and complex beats. Cudi Zone is such a cool track its uncanny. I personally wish Kid Cudi much success and praise him for making such an intelligent piece of art. I am proud to put this album into my collection. I gave the cover art a 5. I am intrigued at how well it was designed. The cover art as well as the fresh and original music brings me back to albums like Radiohead OK Computer and Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. It's just an outstanding finishing touch to an already amazing album.
What's great about it: Emotional storytelling over luxorious beats.

Got to say this movie was hilarious. I was dying at Seth Rogans character. Really good story and great animations. Would definitely see this again. Its rare to find a kids movie that really appeals to adults as well. Great movie.
Continents erupt in flames and hails of gunfire as war breaks out on an unprecedented scale. This is World War II, where a massive conflict rages on two fronts: Europe and the South Pacific. Answer your nation's call and travel to distant lands where you'll take part in devastating battles that gripped a generation and laid the foundation for the world as we know it today. Do you have the courage, the cunning and the commitment to fulfill your duties and see the war through to its harrowing end?Prepare for global conflict presented in all its terrible grit and immediacy. In Call of Duty: World at War, you assume the role of a U.S. Marine or a Russian soldier in the waning days of the Second World War. Travel to the far reaches of the conflict, from war-plagued Berlin to the dense jungles of the Pacific theater, as you confront enemies who refuse to contemplate surrender or retreat and who fight all the more desperately — and more dangerously — knowing the end is near. Employ the weapons at your disposal, including a flamethrower and other new infantry and vehicle-based weapons, and fight to complete your mission as battles explode around you with all the terrible chaos of real war.

Really enjoyed this game. Much better than MW. Very realistic and conveys tons of emotion. You almost feel the pain of the war. Also Zombies is so awesome. What a great job they did on that.

This show pushes the limits on adult content. Blood and gore is plentiful. Not to mention more than the fair share of skin. All the while staying true to the vampire legends and myths. This is not Twilight. Keep the kids away. Outstanding story and casting.
What's great about it: An adult take on the vampire genre,

What's great about it: Renews and Introduces the Entire Franchise

Highly impressed with this game. It's very rare to find a game that has great graphics, great storyline, great gadgets and amazing voice overs. The puzzles and scenarios are extremely tricky and very well scripted. The stealth action is unbeatable. The game is very fun and was made with tons of care. I only wish there were better basic fighting moves. Small thing though because stealth takedowns are so much better. Buy this game today. It is one of those rare games that is worth every penny even at full price.
What's great about it: Just a very cool and intelligent.
What's not so great: Could have used some more basic fight moves.

What can I say. This game is an outstanding piece of work. The size of the game is great. The different paths in karma are very interesting. The trophy system is rewarding. The powers are devastating to the environment. Cole is a great character. I played through both stories and thought the evil side was better. You cannot go wrong with this title. Great game.

Really enjoyed this movie. The story told is perfect as well as the evolution of the characters. I dont know why some people gave this less than 5 stars. Clint is outstanding. "Toad" is a terrific character. The story is mega solid and glues you to the tv. The values and lessons learned from this movie make it an instant classic. Reminds me of the great stories told in Stand By Me and The Outsiders. Do not miss this legendary performance.

Massive fan of Fight Night and was mega excited when I heard Tyson was in on this one. However after playing the demo I was shocked and sad that this summer I will not be buying this installment. What horrid job EA did. When you knock someone down they convulse into this whacky rag doll effect then stiffly hit the canvas. The punches seem to have no effect unless you nail the opponent with 3 or 4 haymakers. There seems to be a sound issue as well but that may be demo specific. Floored that EA would wait so long to make another FN then release such garbage. Im sticking with my Fight Night 3 and Fight Night 2004. Thanks for nothing.
What's great about it: Graphics
What's not so great: Horrible physics. Punches seem to not phase unless you string together haymakers
