SynopsisWith enormous sections of the United States devastated by the effects of accelerated global warming, many Americans have chosen to uproot themselves and make their homes in regions less ravaged by the elements. But for a group of racers consumed by a desire to conquer nature, these vacant expanses have become a vast new playground. Choose your vehicle and prepare to face down fearless competitors in closely fought races over stunning terrain. Do you have what it takes to triumph in the adrenaline-fueled competitions of an alternative present?In Fuel, you'll speed your way across some of the most awe-inspiring terrain in the United States, including the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park and Mount Rainier. Perform astonishing, death-defying moves on your vehicle of choice, whether a bike, car, quad, truck, buggy or dragster, as you conquer the road and the off-road. Explore the game's vast open landscape consisting of 5,000 square miles of stunning wilderness as you blaze across 100,000 miles of roads, tracks and trails and battle the elements, courtesy of a dynamic weather system that proves in spectacular fashion that Mother Nature isn't quite done ravaging this landscape yet.

Great game, awsome graphics, nice weather system. i took a change on this game since it had no reviews on it at all. i did a little research online and found out it won an award from guiness book of world records for holding the world record for biggest landscape area in a game, consisting over over 5000 miles. suprisingly the game is awsome, i was expecting a motorstorm repeat but was hoping against it, and it was nothing like that game. great visuals, great vehicles, and awsome racing pyhsics. i recommend it for any off road racing fan. great acheivment, and the weather affects are great, and gives you something to worry about besides the other racers. over all i give it a perfect 10 out of 10.
What's great about it: graphics, lots of vehicles, fierce races
What's not so great: nothing, go buy it

Learn more about MotorStorm Pacific Rift - PlayStation 3. (Flash demo) SynopsisThe first MotorStorm featured off-road mayhem through the stark, stunning Monument Valley desert scenery. MotorStorm Pacific Rift moves you from the barren desert to a lush tropical paradise in the Pacific Ocean, ripe for racing action through thick, murky swamps, nearly impenetrable jungle, massively towering peaks and puffing volcanoes. Although the scenery is gorgeous, it's not just a great view — nature is ready to take you out with thick undergrowth, rapid rivers, toxic volcanic clouds and dangerously sizzling lava pools. Can you maneuver around the natural dangers and enjoy the festival atmosphere, or will you succumb to the environment?Jump into the driver's seat and drive into the excitement of The Island, a brand-new and wholly different location for the festival. Enter free-play action to create your own race tickets and rip up the terrain in your own unique style. Split-screen play lets up to four players compete at once, or shred anything in your way in races for up to 16 players online. Stay upright through every twist and turn of MotorStorm Pacific Rift and find out if you really have the skills to punch, duck and ram and win.

i hated this game, the addition of the monster trucks is cool, but this game is kinda lame in the way it plays, it is really difficult to get in front and stay in front to win, it also seems to be dependant on what vehicle you select. i didnt care for the game nor its prequel. there are no customization options to the vehicles outside of color/paint schemes. the graphics are great, but i dont like the gameplay at all. alot of people seem to like it, but i hated it.
i do like racing games and i am great at them, but this one i didnt fair to well in for some reason which kinda takes away from the fun. not sure why i appearently couldnt play it yet every other reveiw is good.
i do however love and recommend FUEL over this game, more vehicles, more land, cool graphics and weather effects. AWSOME GAME. purchase that instead of this game, its better.

great remake, better than the origional
on June 5, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this movie is alot better than the origioinal, which was kind of slow paced and a little lacking. the remake is alot better in my opinion just like the remake of halloween compared to the slow origional.
the 3d version of the film is really neat, there are some scenes where it feels like you can reach out and touch things. it is amplified with the lights off on a good hd tv screen. my fiance and i enjoyed the movie and some scenes were very cool in 3d. the movie over all was a great remake and is worth buying in my opinion. i also bought the regular 3d dvd as well which i still need to return, this version i saw for 3 bucks more so i got it the same night i bought the regular dvd. since the price difference was only $3 i would rather have the blueray version rather than the regular dvd. great movie, worth purchasing, if you dont buy movies, definatly worth a rental.

What's not so great: dvd has an "unlock extra features" option which i had to register for, not sure if it did anything

This limited edition collector's set includes three exciting Grand Theft Auto titles, including Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. Beginning with Grand Theft Auto III, you have been betrayed and left for dead. Now you are taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help and street gangs want you dead. You will have to rob, steal and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Grand Theft Auto III puts you at the heart of your very own gangster movie. Knowing every angle and corner of the city is your only hope. Know what you want, when you want it and how to get it. Liberty City is a complete physical universe with laws, rules, standards, ethics and morals. And they are yours to shatter.In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you take to the dangerous streets and underground crime of the '80s. The location is Vice City and the vibe is glamour, power and corruption. Like Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City offers an in-depth storyline and a go-anywhere style of gameplay. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a new city, fresh cars and even more territory to explore. You take on the role of Carl Johnson, a man who managed to escape the rough life in Los Santos, San Andreas — a city torn apart by corruption, drugs and gang warfare. Five years ago, Carl escaped the burdens of life in the city for greener pastures. After learning of a family tragedy, however, Carl must return to a world he thought he had left behind forever.

great adult fun with gore, bad language, explosions..its like a movie but you are in control. the only thing that would make the GTA series better is destructable environments, that is one thing missing from the otherwise great series. definatly worth $30 to own all 3 great games
What's great about it: THE SERIES FOR $10 A GAME
What's not so great: NOTHING

the lego games in my opinion are better than the movie release games that tend to come out. they are all high quality, fun games that focus on...well fun. there is a story and lots of characters to play and choose from along with different abilities for the different types of character which keeps gameplay fun. also due to character abilities you can replay levels you have previously beaten with new characters to access areas previously not available. it adds to the re-playability of the game and also adds to the fun factor, the game is great for adults and kids. the simple button configuration is less advanced than most games which makes it easy to learn and easy to master. great job, now lego needs to get their hands on marvel comics next, that would be great fun.
What's great about it: unloackbles, fun gameplay

i have played gta 3,4, and 5. in my opinion this is the best one due to enjoyable gameplay and customization options. the newest gta is ok, but besides the graphical and pyshic improvements the game is not nearly as fun to play as san andreas.
the map is big, there are pleny of things to do and some of the cars are fun to drive (i like the monster truck myself) and as always there are 100;s of cheats that change the time of day, weather, cars, and other elements of the game for when or if you get a little bored or just want to play it for a few minutes and do something different (i dont save after cheats due to possible save file corruption which has happened once before and most cheat sites will warn you of the same thing) the game over all is great..though i wish rockstar would make a different game similar to GTA but instead make it survival horror in a city full of zombies...would be very fun. i know that had nothing to do with san andreas so back to the point.
the game features plenty of customization options including the way you look (fat, muscular, skinny) clothes, car customization and it introduces dates which is easier to deal with in this game rather than gta 5.
overall the game is great, has some variety when going to a new island/part of the map, though the back country can be a little lacking when having to explore or travel.
the game is great, if you havent played it but like the other gta games, this is a must own.

funny movie
on May 28, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this movie was funny (as long as you like crude humor) and was a good movie to watch. i myself do not watch to many comedy type movies, but this movie was pretty good. i wont go over story details becuase the main page goes over it pretty good. i wouldnt suggest letting young children watch the movie due to the fact that it does have foul language in it, and half of the foul language comes from a child. over all it has some very funny moments in it and was worth watching (i downloaded off of playstation 3's rental service, i do not own this movie but plan on purchasing it)

the lethal weopon series is another that has always been a favorite of mine. from the first one that introduces us to rigs and murtaugh, to the addition of joe peschi who plays a comical role in the movies. the series has good action, a great story and cops who do not always play by the book but get the job done. the series isnt a hardcore action flick, there are some funny moments as well as backstory involving some of the characters past, though when the action picks up it is good. there are moments in the series that range from toilet bombs, the destruction of murtachs wifes car, blowing up a pyro-maniac, as well as other rememborable moments that are funny. all the lethal weopon movies are great fun and enjoyable. i myself grew up with them and they are worth adding to your collection.

i love all of the die hard movies, they are all great. all of the movies have a great story and great action sequences. bruce willis is also a top notch actor and does a great job of being the anti hero we all root for. great movie to own.
also man of fire is a great movie and dezel washington does a great performance, definatly a good bargain for both movies.

How do you set up windows media to your xbox 360 with windows xp software?
I am using an xbox 360 elite limited editon (resident evil 5 one), and i wanted to put media center on it.
How to I set it up with a wireless network?
How to I set it up with a wireless network?
To set up Windows Media Center:
If you use Windows XP, first go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup and click Setup to download the latest Windows Media Center software update to your PC running Windows Media Center.
Note
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition come pre-installed with Windows Media Center.
Connect your Xbox 360 console to your PC using one of the connection types described in "Connect to Xbox LIVE."
On your Xbox 360 console, go to My Xbox and open Windows Media Center . Follow the on-screen instructions to finish Windows Media Center setup.
Along with standard DVD remote control functions, the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote features a Windows Media Center button that lets you access a connected PC running Windows Media Center.
Xbox 360 can connect to an 802.11g or an 802.11a router with an optional wireless adapter such as the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter. Optimal performance is possible only when your Xbox 360 console connects to your network using the 802.11a standard. Other wireless devices, such as portable computers or desktop computers, connect with 802.11g.
Note
If you use wireless networking equipment that is not "Designed for Media Center Edition" (DfMCE) logo certified, you may experience poor wireless performance when you connect to PC running Windows XP and Windows Media Center.
To guarantee compatibility with current gear and to provide additional uninterrupted bandwidth for Xbox 360, replace an older 802.11g-only router with a newer, dual-band 802.11g and 802.11a router that is DfMCE certified.
Media Center Remote Control
The Xbox 360 console can be configured for use with your Media Center Remote Control. With this you can use familiar remote features to control the Windows Media Center features that are available with Xbox 360.
To use a Media Center remote control together with the Xbox 360:
Go to the My Xbox and select System Settings.
Select Console Settings.
Scroll down and select Remote Control.
Select Both Remotes.
Press Back (B) a few times to return to the Xbox Dashboard.
If the Xbox 360 console is turned off, press Start to turn it on and to start Media Center. When the system is on, you can press Start from any area of the Xbox Dashboard to jump straight to Media Center.
Note
The Media Center remote control cannot adjust the volume level for Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 Universal Remote is the best way to access the features of Media Center on the Xbox 360 system. You can control your Xbox 360 experience with an ergonomic design that includes backlit buttons, TV controls, and integrated Media Center controls.

2.0 usb flash drive. will it work on the ps3
most flash drives will work on ps3, some however you will have to format into either a ntfs or fat 32 drive (cant remember which) you can do this on your computer by plugging the device in, and going to the drive itself to view folders and click formatt ( on win xp it is on the left side bar as an option) it will however delete anything on the card. to get the ps3 to read items on it ,as an example a movie, you would go to movies on the media bar in ps3, highlight (do not push x to select the thumbdrive) the thumbdrive under movies and press triangle and select veiw all. other wise the ps3 will act like there is nothing on the drive.

i have this sprint USB thing and i dont know how to set it up to my PS3
i have it working on my laptop perfectly...just plug it in and go. but when i plug it in the ps3 it wont even show up.
the ps3 doesnt pick up some items in the usb ports (it wont detect a digital camera that i have from kodak) you may need to re-ask the question and state what the item is, what does it do. is it a phone (majic jack, vonage type device, wireless internet device (ps3 is wireless out of the box) is it a memory device of some kind) without know what the device is and does it is rather difficult to find a solution.

Is Sony going to have a price cut for ps3 like the rumors are saying
to be honest rumors of this nature have been going on for a while, i was told of a price cut in april that never happened. it is unclear at this time unless sony announces it themselves. i do know that sony takes a hit on every system they sale right now, meaning it costs more to make them than what they sale them for becuase of their own chipset they had made for the system. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon, and if it happens with-in 30 days of your ps3 purchase i know most stores will honor the new price and will provide a refund. i woudlnt count on a price cut anytime soon unless sony becomes desperate to sell, especially since a descent blue ray player alone is running $300.00 by itself. i woudlnt count on a price cut due to that alone, if you are debating on buying one, i will tell you that overall it is worth the $400 price tag considering you dont have to buy accessories like you do with xbox 360 (wireless adapter is 99 dollars alone on 360 and ps3 is wireless right out of the box, and it comes with a rechargable controller which is another $20 on xbox and the online is free and xbox 360 is $60 a year plus you cant browse the internet like with ps3, considering all that ps3 is cheaper than xbox 360 in the long run already)

I am looking to buy an xbox for the first time and the elite seems like a pretty good deal. Is it worth $400 plus a year of live 2 games + controller
to be honest when you consider you have to buy the system, xbox live, a play and charge kit (unless you like batteries) a $99 wireless adapter you are actually paying more than you would for a more reliable ps3 which is ready to go out of the box. the only thing i purchased with my ps3 was a headset (any blue tooth headset that utilizes bluetooth 2.0 or later will work) and a controller for my fiance (and a seperate usb cable to charge it or you can get a charges that charges multiple controllers at the same time) you do get a chance to win a free game on xbox 360 called RED RING OF DEATH as well. the system reliability for xbox 360 is below standard. i myself have had a total of 4 360's, 3 of which have been since march of 2009. i woudl advise against xbox but that is just my opinion. do keep in mind im not a playstation fan boy, i just want a system that works and i got it and more with PS3
