From deadly enemy battleships to murky subterranean waterways, there's not much that the crew onboard the Enterprise hasn't experienced. But Captain Kirk without Mr. Spock? That's just plain illogical. It's the pairing that fueled unforgettable sci-fi adventures throughout the timeless TV series and multiple film interpretations, and bred a cult following with its very own language. Now, for the first time ever in a Star Trek game, you will reunite and redefine the Kirk-and-Spock duo, adding an all-new chapter to the Star Trek canon. Immediately following the events of J.J. Abrams' 2009 film, the universe remains rife with evil to quash and missions to complete. The adventure is just beginning for you as the Star Trek journey continues.Beam up into space and take on one half of the greatest galactic pairing of all time in a franchise-authentic, yet completely original storyline produced in collaboration with the writers of the 2009 film. Are you a logical thinker like Spock, or are you a natural leader like Captain Kirk? Step into the role of a lifetime, and adopt your character's unique abilities, skills and signature weapons, as you perform new missions onboard the Enterprise. Enlist a friend to complete your team, and learn how to use your unique gameplay styles to excel in the face of adversity. Attack enemy battleships, defy the limits of zero G and uncover never-before-seen locales onboard the Enterprise and beyond. Throughout your journey, authentic set pieces and incredible 23rd-century weapons immerse you in the futuristic world. With a partner at your side, prepare to live long and prosper in the Star Trek universe. Pre-order Star Trek to receive access to the Elite Officer Pack, which includes five separate packs of exclusive items and unique uniforms for Kirk and Spock.

At the discounted price, this game was well worth the time to play it through and enjoy the story and excellent graphics. It definitely reminds me of a few other games, combined into a new, very good, Star Trek story. The story and payoffs are engaging enough to keep you going, but it is a little short. Replay value is good, you can choose to play as Kirk or Spock. Haven't tried it, but you can play any mission in co-op, or someone can drop into your mission at any time.

What's great about it: Play as Kirk! (or Spock.) Graphics, story, replayable.
What's not so great: Overall short game, not too challenging.
I would recommend this to a friend!

John Lee Hancock directs Billy Bob Thornton, Dennis Quaid, and Jason Patric in this epic retelling of the 1836 siege of the Alamo from Disney. The film details the events surrounding the battle during the Texan War of Independence that left 186 Texas rebels dead and is presented on this DVD in widescreen with the original English soundtrack and a French dubbed track both in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The disc also includes Spanish and French subtitles. Along with the film itself, there are a number a supplemental features as well. Three featurettes cover the history behind the story, the film's production, and the cast and crew's Texas roots, while a selection of deleted scenes offer a glimpse of what was left on the cutting-room floor. A full-screen version with the same features is also available.

An ok presentation done with great actors, great sets and great costumes. Billy Bob Thornton's monologue as Davy Crockett in the end is worth the price of admission.

Portal 2, more addicting than the first

Portal does it again. First person shooter style this time, same portal rules, amazing puzzles. Excellent progression and the intensity of the newer style puzzles was a lot of fun. It is pretty big, can take a while to get through, but overall, feels short when you're done.

CinemaNow Gift Card
on January 20, 2011

CinemaNow is a decent rental on demand service, HD movies look and sound great when played back through my Samsung Blu-Ray Player. I would like to see more options for HD rentals, but there are other services which I use as well.
The gift card was received as a free bonus when I purchased a Blu-Ray disc. Otherwise, you can pay for rentals directly through your CinemaNow account using a credit card, etc. I would like to see options for discounted cards, such as a $20 card for $15, giving me one free rental.
What's great about it: Great service
What's not so great: No discount
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does Best Buy have wires that I can use as a power supply for my FANATEC wheel?

I just got a FANATEC setup from one of my friends and he forgot to include one of the cords, specifically (and forgive me for not knowing the proper term for this) the one with the two circular ports that connect to some square shaped power adapter (I suppose is the right term for it?) and the other end connects into the outlet. The power adapter thing has another cord attached from the other end that attaches into the wheel itself. I was wondering if Best Buy had this cord so I could use the wheel setup
No. Go to us.fanatec.com and find out how to get what you need there!
