Oblivion
This is an RPG game. At the start of the game, the player gets to choose his species and attributes for your character.
This is a very long game. The game starts out with your character following the king through a prison. He ends up dying and sending you on a quest to make sure the kingdom will be safe.
When i say this is a long game, I put over 100 hours into this game. The game lets the player choose the quests that he/she wants to go on. The main quest have to go in order, but the side quests can be done in any order. There are guilds in which the player can become the leader.
Having the freedom to do missions as you please is exciting. The player slowly builds up his attributes throughout the game and unlocks powers and magic.
Though this is an older game, it still makes the top 10
8/10

Need For Speed: ProStreet
To start off, this is a game that is unlike all the other Need For Speeds. This a more realistic racing game. It is one of the better ones.
The game starts out by giving you a car and you have to win it. You have to move up the ranks and knock off the street kings. (By knock off I mean beat in a race.) There are four different types of Races. Circuit, Speed, Drag, and Drift
Circuit- lapped races
Speed- High speed point A to point B
Drag- Drag race(Manual shifting)
Drift- Drift cars
A racing game is self explanatory. There are many races. The game is amazing.
7.5/10

Madden 08
This review is for the 360. The game is setup like the previous year of madden. Passing is the same and running is the same. The difference is in juking. The juking is now done with the majoity of the right stick. you flick the stick up and it gives the runner a Truck stick, or run the defender over. Side to side flick makes the runner do a sidestep. Flick the stick back and the runner will stop as if to miss a diving tackle.
The same goes for the defense. A tackler can use the right stick to hit the player with the ball. to flick it up, the tackler will hit the ball carrerier high and if it is flicked down, the tackler will dive at his feet. there is still spin move and dive, but they are done with the b and x.
The controls on the game are very responsive. I prefer this game over NCAA 08 because it is much faster, the players are more detailed and actually have names. This game also has the usual minigames you can play to make players better throughout the year but i usually skip this because i didnt buy the game for those. They are fun to play with friends and rub it in their faces when you bench more than they did ( when in reality they can bench more than you!!!)
The superstar career can be extremely hard or really easy. If you play as a skill position(running back, quarterback, reciever) it is easier to get into the hall of fame,(that is the ultimate goal) As a lineman or linebacker, it is really hard. we'll leave it at that.
