SynopsisEnter a deadly postapocalyptic world, where new dangers lurk around every corner, poised to lure you further toward extinction. In these two add-ons for Fallout 3, you'll go deeper inside the Fallout universe, exploring a sprawling, post-urban landscape and battling determined enemies in a fight for the future of your civilization. Embark on a harrowing journey into a world wracked by war and plunged into darkness, and make crucial decisions that have the power to change your own course and those of others.These two gripping add-ons are designed to expand the horizons of your Fallout 3 gameplay. The Pitt deposits you in the ruins of the city formerly known as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Explore the streets and structures of a city ravaged by neglect, nuclear radiation and moral decay, and wield powerful weaponry as you encounter dangerous new enemies and an array of morally gray choices that will redefine your perception of what's right and what's wrong. In Operation: Anchorage, you'll experience one of the greatest battles in the Fallout mythology. Take command of an interactive Strike Team and arm yourself with exciting new weapons and armor as you attempt to wrest control from the Communist Chinese invaders and liberate the city of Anchorage, Alaska.

Good expansions
on June 7, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
Operation anchorage can hardly be called an expansion, as its really just a simulation that your fallout 3 character goes through. Its removes all RPG elements and leaves the generic FPS shooting. Its really only good for fans of previous Fallout games as it has a lot of story prior to fallout 3.
The Pitt builds off the fallout 3 gameplay. You actually get to go to "The Pitt" and do some quests there. Do not be fooled though, even though its an all new city to explore, its still fairly small. Much like the ruins of DC, your forced to follow the linear paths that are laid out for you. Some new weapons and quests make it worth the money though.
I recommend these expansions only to those who really enjoyed Fallout 3 and the story line of it.
What's great about it: Expands on an already great game
What's not so great: Expansions are very restricted and short

Standard MMO
on May 24, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
WoW isn't nearly as good as some MMO games available. In my opinion, the only reason WoW was so successful is because of Blizzard's history in the PC game world.
This game is infamous for consuming people's lives. At first, you may play it a few hours a day. But then it grows on you. I decided to quit after my grades in college began to crumble. After I quit I realized just how bad it was. I actually lost friends because they were to busy playing it to answer their phone or leave their computer.
This game is fun in moderation, but I warn you most people who play it take it way too seriously and play 8-16 hours a day.
What's great about it: Most popular MMO
What's not so great: Standard MMO. Harmfully addictive and life consuming.

Lacking
on May 11, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
This game had a pretty cool story going for itself. Who would have thought a zombie war game could be so bad? The idea behind this game was solid, but it seemed to have been either rushed or pushed aside during developing. Graphics are very poor, worse then the Nintendo Wii even. The engine is flawed and the controls are even worse. I played the Nazl Zombies mode in Call of Duty: WaW longer then I did this game.
I recommend renting this game if you really think you'll enjoy it.
What's great about it: Interesting concept
What's not so great: Graphics, gameplay, and overall lack of polish

As BJ Blazkowicz, a highly decorated member of the Office of Secret Actions (OSA), you are sent on a special mission into the heart of the Third Reich to investigate evidence that the SS hierarchy may possess a new and mysterious power.

Looks good

Wolfenstein has been around for ages. It was one of the original FPS games similar to "Doom". Wolfenstein 3D was a classic that I still play today. It was later followed up for the xbox with "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", and now they are releasing this one for Xbox 360.
Woflenstein is a FPS based in WWII era, however it is a science fiction game and only historically accurate to a certain degree. The Germans develop paranormal technology that delivers all sorts of sci fi weapons, technology, and enemies. This game emphasizes on the german part of WWII. A must have for fans of the WWII FPS genre, I can't wait.
What's great about it: A classic reborn
What's not so great: There's still a long time before it releases

Classic Sabbath
on April 11, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
Black Sabbath was a unique band that pretty much invented the metal genre. Ozzy Osbourne is an excellent vocalist and continues to produce music almost 40 years later. This is an excellent album.
What's great about it: Ozzy Osbourne
What's not so great: Dio replaced Ozzy in 1980 (long after this album though)

Well designed shooter, lacks innovation.
on April 9, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
I would only recommend this game to diehard fans of the Battlefield series. Online multiplayer can be fun, but the campaign lacks innovation. You'll spend most of the time trying to reach your destination. Once you get there, you'll get sent off to the next destination.
The destructable environment is fun for a little while, but after a while its nothing special. You can only destroy external walls and roofs to buildings, and trees dissapear shortly after knocking down. You can call in artillary bombardments or guided air-to-ground missiles, but they are used from gadgets of which you can only carry one at a time, and they have cooldown timers before you can use them again. Infinate uses however.
Vehicles are fun, but once again, nothing special. Vehicles can be repaired using power tools, unrealistic but usefull. If you've played a previous Battlefield game, you've basically played this. Using the iron sights on guns is a nice change, but only a select few guns use them, the rest still run off aiming redicals and crosshairs. You can only carry one gun, unless you have a sniper rifle as they come with side arms. You do not get to mix and match rifles and side arms though, its all pre-arranged. Sub-machine guns and shotguns include rifle grenades, and light machine guns have standard grenades, again its all pre-arranged.
Story line is lacking, you have no real long term goal in this game, just taking orders from dispatch. Combat lacks blood and the AI isn't much better then last generation console games.
Overall, this game is nothing special. Get this game only if you really enjoy battlefield games, as this game isn't even as humorous as it was advertised to be.
What's great about it: Great weapons, excellent sound.
What's not so great: Nothing special, run and gun.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great squad based shooter
on March 29, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
I enjoyed this game very much. I had just gotten done playing the entire call of duty series, and this game provided a fresh change of pace for historic shooters. I did not play any previous brothers in arms game so I cannot compare it there.
This game is not to be compared to the Call of duty series, as its gameplay is more tactical. You command your squads to do a lot of the work, and you spend very little time in FPS mode as the game has a gears of war style cover system that puts you into third person mode.
If you are looking for a game that requires thought over skill, this game is a nice break from the FPS shooting of call of duty.
What's great about it: Unique historic gameplay
What's not so great: Multiplayer

Asian cinema fans who were rightly up in arms regarding U.S. distributor Miramax's decidedly shoddy treatment of the film upon stateside release may find some solace in the fact that, even if they couldn't get things right during the theatrical run, Miramax seems to have taken their criticism to heart when preparing the DVD release of Stephen Chow's hit comedy. Upon inserting the disc into their DVD player, viewers are immediately prompted with the choice of viewing either the abbreviated U.S. theatrical cut of the film or the original (and much preferred) Hong Kong version. Whichever road one chooses to travel, Miramax has taken great care to give the film a solid visual presentation -- the 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer sporting beautiful colors and even skin tones. If there is one complaint to be made about the transfer, it's that it does display a notable amount of edge enhancement, but that's a small gripe given what could have become of this release. The English, French (on the U.S. version), and Chinese Dolby Digital 5.1 audio tracks are bold and clean in both versions, with English and Spanish subtitles rendered in easy-to-read, bold yellow font. Though there are no bonus materials to speak of, fans will no doubt find the inclusion of the fantastic original Chinese cut of the film the only feature needed to justify the purchase of this disc.

A fresh addition to the best game series ever
on March 20, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
Brings back original characters in a larger scale then RE4(leon kennedy). Chris Redfield is the main character, and Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker play major roles in the game.
Mian idea switches to Bio-terrorism, similar (but by no means the same) as the film Resident Evil Degeneration.
This game is similar play to RE4, with the exception of partner/co-op. Weapon purchases and upgrades are no longer from a merchant, rather after levels or after you die.
Strays into the shooter genre as enemies carry AK-47s and grenades later on. The weapon selection is a lot bigger then previous REs, incuding RE4. Not quite the same zombie horror survival I grew up with, but keeps the series alive and fresh. Puzzles and key item use is sadly absent from this game. The story continues off RE4, but unlike RE4 includes a lot of story from the previous RE games (including RE Umbrella Chronicles on Wii).
Overall a great game. Strays from survival horror into shooter, but any diehard fan of the series will enjoy this game.
What's great about it: Continues the incredible story line of resident evil
What's not so great: Strays even farther into the TPS shooter genre then RE4

Good movie
on March 14, 2009
Posted by: ConfusedYeti
Watching this movie can make you want to play the game. Great storyline and really makes the game shine.
They recently announced a prequil to Dead Space on the wii (dead space extraction), which follows the events before the necromorphs take over, which is exactly what this movie is about. You might hold off on this movie if you want the dead space extraction game to be a surprise.
Definatley for mature audiences only. HIgh gore and strong language.
What's great about it: Excellent film even if you have no interest in the game.
What's not so great: Animated

Is the nudity in Red Dead Redempition Bad

I'm looking at gettting it but is the nudity bad? I'm 16 but my mom will not let me get it so just wondering. Bad is like fully nude and not bad is like what you see at a pg-16 movie.
tHANKS
The nudity is fairly minimal throughout the game, however there is a scene or two with frontal nudity on a woman. Overall I'd say its no worse than you might see in a rated R movie.

how can i put my xbox 360 main menu back to how it was when i bought it? i dont want it updated anymore..

how can i pur my xbox 360 main menu back to how it was when i bought it? i don want it updated anymore.
Its not possible to legally reverse the "New Xbox Experience". Once its updated, the original menu is gone forever. The only way you can have an xbox 360 with the original menus is to either buy an xbox from before the update and never connect it to the internet, or to perform illegal modifications to your current console, which I do not recommend.

Will Microsoft ever comeout with a handheld to rival the psp?

Microsoft has not announced anything about a handheld gaming console. However, they have taken out a patent for a handheld gaming component. Some speculation suggests it's a new version of the Microsoft Zune designed to rival the Ipod touch's gaming capabilities.

fable 2

is this game good for a 12 year old?
In my opinion, yes this game is suitable for a 12 year old, as long as he/she is mature and not extremely impressionable. Some guidance may be necessary.

The game is mostly just violence. There is a fair amount of blood and the occasional limb being removed.

However, there is some partial nudity and references. Some of the gameplay will also allow the character to perform some gestures like mooning and showing your middle finger.

Other then that, this game is fairly mild. Little or no profanity and overall nothing worse then your child would pick up in public schools.

How do you program the xbox 360 remote for the xbox 360 (not the tv).

The remote should be fully programed for the 360, you just need to sync it with your console by pushing the sync button on the remote and console at the same time. Please note that I'm assuming your talking about the microsoft product, not any of the third party remotes that best buy offers.

What is the best wireless router to get for a wireless xbox connection?

Not sure which is best, but I use a standard Linksys G wireless router, and I experience lagg about 1 in 3 times I play. I'd estimate 20% of the time that it does lagg, its too awfull to play. I reccomend any major brand as long as its an N router.
