SynopsisContinents 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.

a great FPS port

call of duty is an awsome FPS game that requires strategy and skill yet is really addictive and fun. call of duty is the best first person shooter franchise on the market. yea, better than HALO becuase the enemies dont run away from you or sound like little munchkins saying "hes here" "oh no, run". the game really brings realism to war and and does a pretty good job for a handheld system, definatly worth buying and it will keep you playing over and over again, even after you conquer it.
What's great about it: CALL OF DUTY
What's not so great: not a thing when you cant play on your home console

Every question comes from the grade school curriculum, so by all rights you should be able to ace them all — providing you actually retained all that elementary school-level learning.

just like the show

if you like the tv show you will like the game, it is set up the same way. also the game is relativly short which makes sence considering the tv show is 30 minutes long. it makes it easy to pick up and play, also the questions can really rattle your brain. some questions are really easy and some can be really tricky. it is a good game and a good fast way to possibly learn some small trivia. it is a game that can last as little as 10 minutes which makes it convinient to play if you are limited on time and can breeze through the questions. overall a great port if you like this type of game.

needs work, pass this one up

this game should have been worked on more for the handheld version before release. teh controls make the game almost impossible to play, but take away from the enjoyment of the game. i personally wasnt a fan of the xbox or playstation version of 2009, but this version makes those look absolutly perfect. my opinion is to pass this game up or borrow it..if you have to buy it get it used so you can return it when you find out what everyone else has said about it.
What's great about it: wrestling
What's not so great: horrid control scheme that makes the game impossible to play

finally a descent sonic game
on May 23, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this game reminded me a bit of super mario RPG but not nearly as good. i was getting so tired of seeing sonic games, a franchise that needed to quit a long time ago but still found money to keep making poor games. this sonic game still is not great but it is a better improvement over past games. they made it into an rpg type game, so if you like rpg games along the lines of super mario brothers rpg you will like this game. you get items and you get to level up of course, the game however is controlled with the stylus for movement and it isnt a fast pased speed through rings type sonic game. it is a good twist on a dying franchise to help stabalize sonic for a few more horrible sequels.
the game is fun to play, easy to learn, and is RPG based which makes it easy to pick up and play, and easy to master. there is however alot of dialogue in the game so if you are buying it for a child who can not read, they will need assistance playing (but hey, dont let that deter you, i learned to read playing final fantasy 1 and used words in school my teacher didnt think i could possibly know, and i could spell most of them, even words like scientific, battle axe, traditional ect.) rpg games are a great way to learn spelling and reading if you have a child that can grasp on to concepts at an early age, atleast in my opinion.
anyhow, this is a descent sonic game that may keep you playing till the end with its new rpg elements and lack of redundant levels that resemble a pinball machine make it worth playing.

AWSOME CLASSIC RPG
on May 23, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
chrono trigger if you were not around for the snes era, is a classic rpg game where you play chrono, the hero of the game and travel back in forth between time, meeting new team mates, trying to prevent the world from being detroyed from lavos. the game has plenty of armor, items and weopons along with some great characters and NEW cutscnenes not in the origional game. The game also features multiple endings depending on how you play the game, actions you take and when you choose to fight the main boss. for its time the graphics were great, even in the snes era. it is a direct port with some new cutscenes and an option for a new DS style instead of the classic style i am used to seeing. the game brings back fond memories and is still a great rpg to play. in my opinion it is one of the top 10 games of all time and worth purchasing.
also new to ds cartriges, this game is one of the first to feature anti-copyright protection, meaning it locks up on the screen when you go through the time portal the first time (lucas invention) if you downloaded the game.
overall squaresoft/squareenix has always been one my all time favorite game producers due to their great storylines, inventive characters, imaginative enemies and rememorabel classics that todays games dont come close to anymore. it is a great game and is worth purchasing brand new.

great learning tool, and great recipes
on May 23, 2009

from joplin, mo
this is basically an advanced cookbook. by advanced i do not mean difficult, it is advanced in the fact that it does have step by step instructions, and also shopping lists for recipes. the recipes range from various countries which keeps it interesting and you learn recipes from outside of our standard menues. my finace thouroughly enjoyed the features and instructions which will actually speak to you so you can keep your hands free. it is very user friendly and easy to use. if you like to cook and want to learn new recipes with a high tech cook book, this is the way to go. the recipes are great and the shopping list is handy when purchasing ingrediants or checking to make sure you have everything. you can also check ingrediants off as you pick them up so you dont get lost or miss something. very great item and it can also help kids learn to cook (with adult supervision of course unless your child is old enough to use knives, scissors, and ect without fear of hurting themselves).
What's great about it: its and electronic cook book

great addition to the mario cart family

from joplin, mo
this game is as fun as the previous mario kart games. i have always enjoyed them for their simple play design and quick levels. very handy if you dont have an hour available to play. the levels are varied enough to keep a play through the game from betting boring and there are a few different characters with different stats to choose from. i normally pick Yoshi myself, he seems faster than the rest. the game also supports multiplayer but does lack if you are playing with only one mario cart game (if the other person doesnt have it).
the game is not hard to learn and is fun to play, the power ups and items keep the game interesting until the race is over. very fun addition to the mario kart line.

Once upon a time, the gaming world was turned on its head by a little gray cartridge for the Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario Bros. Now, more than twenty years later, witness the evolution of the platformer that started it all with New Super Mario Bros., the latest installment of the beloved franchise on the Nintendo DS. It may be in incredible 3D, but you'll hearken back to those glorious 2D days of stomping Goombas, kicking turtle shells and chasing mushrooms.Join Mario and Luigi as they jump and climb their way over fields, under water, through castles and into the air. Collect all-new powerups, including the Blue Shell that Mario can ride in and the massive Mushroom that makes him super-huge. Team up with a friend and play as both Mario and Luigi in multiplayer mode. You and Mario will both take a nice little trip back to your roots with New Super Mario Bros.

good improvment, but seems to easy

from joplin, mo
this game is definatly a neat improvement over the origional super mario brothers game. they added new features like mushrooms that make you HUGE as the screen and you cant fall in normal holes.
the game does seem alot easier than than the origional, i remember dying alot in certain areas of the origional when i was younger, even playing the game now on the computer (yes i still have the origional nes cartridge so i can legally download it online) i still died a few times. the new one, once you learn about the new levels and new "goals" to defeat certain enemies it is very easy. the game was beaten by my fiance the first day she played it though i had to get her past the last level. the game is definatly neat for origional mario bothers fans and takes a new age approach to it to keep you playing until the end, it is not a port from the origional, there are new levels, items/powerups, and areas not in the orgional and improved graphics of course. great game and worht a purchase for fans.

great game

from joplin, mo
i got this game for ps3 and i have played the 360 version as well. at first i thought it was horrible. i had the ps3 on my standard old tube tv and i couldnt read the words in the quest log. they were blurry. a friend of mine had the same issue on the 360. i got a new hd widescreen tv and still had the issues. it was resolved when i used an hdmi cable instead of the standard audio visual cables. since then the game has greatly improved though i find it bad to have to have an HDMI cable to read words in a game. talk about pushing the more expensince technology. i am glad that i purchased it though, it has improved all the graphics of all my games.
sacred 2, if you never played the 1st sacred, is comparable to diablo 2, champions of norrath, or the baldurs gate series. it is a great rpg game set ina detailed world. something both xbox and playstation need for the next gen consoles. the easiest way to desribe it is a hack and slash rpg. there are alot of items and weopons in the game, and different characters to choose from, though i miss the characters from the origional sacred. the game also supports co-op play on one system and 4 co-op play on line over the internet. i would recommend buying the game if you like rpg games or are a fan of any game i related it to. if you have any graphical problems it isnt the game (sorta) or your system, it just needs to be used with an hd tv and an hdmi cable. really fun, over 22 miles of world to explore, excluding caves and dungeons. there is A TON of things to keep you busy. BUY IT.

its monopoly
on May 22, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
its monopoly, if you like monopoly by all means buy it, but monopoly gets boring fast, and by all means, lower the price...it is monopoly, this should be a $10 game. no board game is worth $30 in my opinion. they have some good modes of play and it is monopoly, but at the same time..its monopoly. i loved monopoly but could never get anyone to play with me growing up, now i can play the console version and realise why i could never get any one to play with me. the game gets tiresome after a few games and i am now in a "i dont want to see monopoly" mood, maybe i will play it again in a few years. i can recommend the game for family game night, or a monopoly fanatic..but i do not recomend the game just to buy as a game, but most people know that becuase who really breaks out the monopoly bored out at home when they are alone. but in my opinion it isnt worth the $30 price tag for any reason just becuase it is a board game, there isnt enough in a board game to warrant a price higher than $10 unless the peices are made of gold or something. all in all it is a good monopoly port but as long as the monopoly games have been out they need to lower the price to something more reasonable.

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
