its monopoly
on May 22, 2009
Posted by: william09

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.

great game, though morrowind was better
on May 22, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
for one this game is a great addition to any rpg players collection. i will admit however that i was dissappointed with the short length of the game and the "empty" space in the landscape. it seems its predecessor morrowind had alot more in the world, every corner had something in it to collect, explore, or fight. oblivion is a little short on that side, though it still has the same great gameplay with increased graphics. the main story quest is short, however there are side quests to keep you busy and plenty of guilds to join. they also have an arena to fight in to earn money, great place to start the game. there are also expansions that add items and there are quests for the different dieties you can do, one of the best though not nessecary is the quest that grants you a skeleton key (a lock pick that doesnt break essentially). other than that the game really missed out on some of the more amazing features and items in the previous elder scrolls game and this game seems shorter in scope than morrowind. i also found out today that this game is also on ps2 which i did not know. i knew it was on ps3. the game does bring back its customization, and some of the expansions are neat, and the shivering iles will keep you busy for a few hours and the new armor is kind of neat but nothing to get excited about. hopefully we will see more to find and explore in the next elder scrolls game and the landscape isnt so barren with nothing to do. all in all it is worth a buy for the price, it will entertain and awe, but seems to have missed the mark from being what morrowind was.
What's great about it: it is another great RPG game from Bethesda
What's not so great: short and not alot of detail like in morrowind

if you have not checked out saints row it is time to do so. this game exceeded what the GTA series did on its first go around whcih is quite an acheivement. the game is relatively cheap now so i would definatly get it. it exceeds gta in fun and mission variety which makes the game more fun to play in my opinion.
What's great about it: very fun and lots to do.
What's not so great: cant think of anything.

good game, better than GTA in my opinion

from joplin, mo
have always gotten more enjoyment out of saints row than grand theft auto due to the amount of things you can do outside of missions, also the game has a sence of humor and can be very funny. the graphics are good and there are plenty of vehicles as well as customization options for cars, gangs, even places you buy (safehouse, cribs). it is a neat aspect and they added and improved upon the last saints row game for xbox. the game is definatly worth checking out though if you are a parent the game does have cursing, nudity,obscene gestures, as well as violence of course so be weary of it if you are buying it for your child.
i am dissapointed that the company has not put an update for trophy support, therefore this is a game that i have since traded in after beating for something else. i was hopeing they would put trophies in to warrant another play through, and possibly make me play the game in ways i wouldnt have otherwise thought of.
if you are new to the saints row it is a GTA clone, but done better in my opinion. if you like grand theft auto you will probably like this game. definatly check it out. it is worth buying due to rental time wouldnt give you enough time to fully explore the game, unless you have a subscription based rental service to keep it as long as you want.

this game is pretty fun, along the lines of mercenaries 2 in the way it handles except for you have 3 other computer AI characters following you around. the game is fun to play all around and has some neat weopons and vehicles. also the ability to destroy everything around you including trees, walls, vehicles makes it very easy to get tasks done in an alternate fashion. the game is very easy to pick up and learn if you have played similar games. it is worth buying due to the destructable environments and alternate ways to complete goals. very interesting story as well, it has already been covered in other reveiws so i will skip that. also the game carries trophy support which is always a nice bonus. very fun game, check it out and also check out mercenaries 2 for PS3, i do not recommend the xbox 360 version of the game though (mercs 2), the one on ps3 is different in a better way ( i was shocked myself to find a difference)

bethesda is one of those companies that since Morrowind, makes me think of games with a higher set of standards than most game companies. they put alot of detail into their worlds (morrowind, oblivion, fallout 3) and make games that actually make you feel part of it. the graphics are amazing and the detail is awe inspiring. very few times does a game company take pride in their creations like this company. i will admit i was as impressed with oblivion as i was with morrowind but it was still a great game to say the least, and fallout 3 follows in the tradition of what to expect.
fallout 3 is one of few RPG games on the new consoles unfortunatly.
i do have a few gripes about the PS3 version not getting the expansions and have yet to find a reason why, and there could be more weopons in the game (which the expansions added but not on ps3). those are the only issues i have with the ps3 version, but hopefully if they do not come out for download they will make a game of the year edition like oblivion and morrowind.
all and all this game is very good, and their are plently of choises to make and you can go anywhere you want. the game gives you the freedom to make your character, assign your skills, and other customization options. all in all it is a great game to add to your collection, if you havent played it i would recommend buying this game, however as a warning, the game does feature gore and limbs and heads do come off when you shoot them so if you are reading this as a parent, you may want to keep that in mind, also there are some curse words in the game as well, the f word to be precise.

Another GTA game
on May 21, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this is yet another GTA game comparable to past GTA games. the graphics are by far the best of the series and they did take a more realistic approach on driving, shooting than previous games. the game in my opinion was not worth the origional $60 price tag due to lack of diversions out side of the main mission unlike saints row.
the game does support trophies which does add some replay value but there seems to be a few things lacking compared to the previous san andreas such as vehicle customization, working out to get bigger and stronger, the need to eat but not over eat. some of the features that made the last game stand out are missing which kind of takes away from the fun of it (working out was not fun, but getting bigger and dual wielding sawed off shot guns and making your car look different were neat aspects)
they have dating in the game which is more of a pain than anything, dealing with all the personal relationships in the game to keep everyone happy. i personally found it annoying to have to stop game progress to take everyone out on a "date" so they continue to like you and give you their help/bonuses in the game. all in all they went forward in the series while taking a few steps back, maybe the next GTA game will hit the nail on the head (or score a bullseye for those who play darts in the game). they added dart, pool, and bowling as a diversion, the games are not great but it is something to do outside of the missions and they have trophies associated with them as well. all in all a good game for the $40 right now

GREAT GAME

i am not a big fan of first person shooter games. i have played halo 1 and 2 and thought they were kinda dumb. also wasnt to into resistance 2 either. something was lacking from both series for a NON FPS fanatic. i bought this game a week ago, and then bought call of duty 4 since everyone said it was better as well and to be hoenst both of them are fun to play.
the graphics are amazing on both games and the weopons are fun and plenty. the online mode features an "experiance" type system use dto "level up" and unlock new weapons and "abilities/ perks". that makes the game excellent and keeps you busy.
the downside for a new player is when you first start out online, you dont have the good weopons becuase you have not "leveled up" and unlocked them for use..so it is a little frustrating at times to be unloading on someone with a gun and get shot once and die when you just pumped 2 shot gun shells into them or 20 machine gun rounds. it is still fun and expected to have a little trouble starting out but like in real life it isnt really about skill but about who has the bigger guns in the end but it is still possible to level and get kills, just harder. it is still fun to play and makes the game a little more chanllenging and worth playing to level up and get access to better weopons.
i am not a big fan of FPS games but this game and COD 4 is an exception. i would advise anyone who can play a FPS game and understand the controls to play the game at least once. in my opinion both were worth buying, i havent played them long enough to say 4 is better than 5 like some people say, to me they are about the same except one is modern and the other takes place during WW2. they are both great games and worth picking up.

one of the best games i have played
on May 21, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
lets start by saying even though this is the game of year edition, which supposedly is supposed to have the new maps included, it doesnt, nor did i get a code to download the maps at no charge...so i do not know why they released this as the game of the year edition.
other than that i am not a big FPS fanatic. to be honest, i thought games like halo, medal of honor, and doom were stupid. i beat halo 1 on legendary, even though the last level was frustrating trying to beat the time limit and i had to keep at it to finally get it, and medal of honor series was ok, none of them kept my attention. the last shooter games i liked were goldeneye and perfect dark for N64. since then EA has butchered the 007 games and i wont even play them anymore.
Call of duty is differnt. there is alot in the game that keeps me hooked. i enjoy the single story player mode alot more than other games like halo. the multiplayer mode is where the game really standsout from the crowd.
online multiplayer mode has an experiance system in place to unlock new weopons, skills/perks which makes the game very addicting. it is fun to get experiance to unlock new items. you get experiance for killing other players, and doing various things that the game has predeifined (kill so many people with a particular weopon ect.
you also can unlock extra devices for your weopons like bayonets, sights/scopes among a few dozen other devices that improve certain weapon characteristics. this keeps the game very entertaining to gain experiance by completing certain objectives, or to do things a certain way you may not do otherwise.
I also picked up call of duty 5 2 days after i purchased this game since everyone said this game is better. i thouroghly enjoy both games and both have the same experiance system, though 5 has different ways to earn exp. i couldnt choose between either of them to say one is better. call of duty 4 is a modern day game, while call of duty 5 (world at war) takes place along world war 2 era. i think most people just prefer the modern day weopons compared to the COD 5 ones. i enjoy both games and rank them the same so if you are getting this game or love this game, consider getting call of duty 5 as well.

good thought, poor execution
on May 16, 2009
Posted by: william09
from joplin, mo
this game starts off similar to the first review...it rocks...for the first 5 minutes. after you start playing it and doe a few stunts to switch vehicles (which is cool) the game runs rather dry and boring. i kept it for about 3 days after i bought it and got rid of it..i wasted my money, and since it wasnt great the price decreased. to be honest i should have been smart enough to download the demo...so if you are thinking of getting this game...download the demo since it is free of course. do keep in mind that driving and stunts is all you will be doing..so if you have fun doing that over and over again buy it, if not you will probably not like the game.
the game needs more diversions besides driving 99% of the time. i would recommend the demo, then a rental becuase in the demo they will probably have one mision which teaches you some cool moves and make the game seem great..rent after if the demo does not discourage you..if you do that, i know my advise will save a few people some money.

What's great about it: stunts
What's not so great: nothing to do outside of missions
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My shoulder button on my ds lite stopped working. Can you fix them?
My L and R buttons have stop working. Can bestbuy fix my ds lite and how much will it cost?
here is a link that tells how to fix them and what you will need, also if you call some game stores they may be able to repair them or maybe even bestbuy geeksquad can repair them for you, you would need to call the stores for pricing information though, hope this helps.

Do best buy buy video games?
Do best buy buy video games?
bestbuy is currently testing buying video games in a few stores in texas, but it has not been decided on if it will go into every best buy store or not. so far it is still in the testing phase.

In this Sunday's paper , I looked in the Best Buy magazine and it said that you can trade in your ds lite for a dsi xl. Do I still have to pay money?
How much if I do? It said to go to www.bestbuy.com/gametradein but it never said anything about trading it in for a dsi xl.
best buy accepts trades on older electronics. the prices they give you are not that great. you will need to enter the information on the website to get a price, i assure you it wont be that much.

ps3 price cut
is there going to be any kind of bundle or price cut coming this year that is less than $400?
as much as romors point to a price cut i highly doubt it will happen, especially since they have had rumors of a price cut for as long as i can remember. also since the whole activision threatening to pull out and the ceo of sony basically stating "how logical is it to lose money on every system sold" a price cut isnt happening any time soon.
if it makes the purchase any easier, when you consider an xbox 360 with a harddrive for 300, a wireless adapter for 99, and a charge kit for the controller for 20 and 60 for an xbox live membership...you are already looking at more than a ps3, and you get blue ray as well, which i dont really care about blue ray. also if you are willing to pay $40 as a one time fee, there is a download where you can do netflix on ps3 along with a few other movie sites. it is called play on and i personally use it and it was worth it.
sorry to say that a price cut isnt coming anytime soon, though i agree it would be nice, then i would buy a second ps3, but i highly doubt it will happen anytime soon.

Call of Duty 3 ?
I am looking for a wwii era war/first person shooter game this looks to be the best(Besides battlefield 1943) is it ? (I am really clueless)
call of duty world at war is a WW era game, it features countries like the US/japan (which you play the us), and russian/germain (which you play russia) campains. the online multiplayer is great. i havent played 1943 yet, so i wouldnt know what it is like though i know it is multiplayer only.
hope this answers your questions, and if you decide to purchase this game, look forward to seeing you on the field.

Play Station Store ?
I am looking in to getting a PS3, what is play station store and how does it work? (how do i put in money?)
the playstation store is where you can purchase themes, games, add-on content, rent/purchase movies and watch videos/tv shows. you have to either purchase a playstation network card in various amounts, or use a credit/debit card to add funds. you get the option to add funds when you add something to your cart and confirm the check out, then it will ask you to add funds.

can i buy trade in games from best buy that have been traded in buy customers ?
at this time i dont think best buy has started to sell used games yet. i know they have kiosk's in dallas and austin that purchase used games. it is something recent to my knowledge, and i work in bestbuys call center, so far there is no word on when they will sell the games to customers..or exactly what they are doing with the games so far for that matter. granted i am no one big in the company but asking around no one has heard anything as of yet.

corrupted data
my ps3 says the data is corrupted what can i do to fix it? i start games then they freeze help!!!
it sounds like you have either downloaded a bad file, turned the game off when it was saving, or got a virus from browsing the internet. my suggestion would be to wipe the hard drive and start over. Simply remove the hard drive from your PS3, and turn on the console. It should display a screen saying the hard drive will need to be reformatted. Then, plug the hard drive back into your PS3, and allow it to reformat. Your save game data will be erased but the system should work again, also here is a link to the same solution but worded differently. http://www.xomba.com/ps3_help_froze_up_ps3_hard_drive_reformat

In-camera cropping and rechargeable batteries?
I want to buy a digital camera $200 or less. it needs to have in-camera cropping and more than 7 megapixels. aslo, i would prefer for it to be 4x or more optical zoom and can record sound. i know its kind of specific, sorry about that
you are lucky. the perfect camera that fits that description is 1) commonly found in all best buy stores, 2) the highest rated camera on our website and highly rated on sites like cnet, and other sites. i did about 5 months of reasearch to find the perfect camera for my fiance, but i cant afford the price of a tv or car for a camera. the item i came up with is a canon PowerShot 10.0-Megapixel Digital ELPH Camera - Silver . the sku number for the item is 8800577. if you place those numbers in the search for box in bestbuys website it will take you straight to the item.
i personally bought this camera after researching and also wrote a review on it as well, it should be on the site under the item with in 72 hours. it is perfect for the price (200). you wont regret it and it has all the features you are looking for.
