This is for the Xbox 360. This is one of the first games that started me off as becoming an Achievement Whore. (If you dont know what that is, look it up in Google)
This game is fun because it was one of the first game i got for the Xbox 360. It is fast paced and the AI is really great in the start of the new generation.
The single player campaign is what i really love. I first played it through on the normal campaign abd loved it. Then i rreplayed it on the hardest campaign possible. Granted, this took quite a while, but i did it. This was one of the first games i got all the achievements for. I was filled with excitement.
This game really made me love forst personj shooters on the Xbox 360. This recieved a perfect 10 when it came out and still does. The reason why it didnt make it onto my top ten before is because its younger brother CoD4 pushed him out.

Fight Night Round 3
This is an older game for the Xbox 360 that i have only recently beat. A friend let me borrow it. He told me i would love it. So i tried it out and did.
This game is one of the best games out right now that have successfully made human characters look REAL!. yes. the game looks amazing. The goal of the game is to work your way up and become a famous boxer and then retire.
The controls for the game have a bunch of different configurations. The game's default is using the right stick to control the punches. This works great. I also like to use the buttons configurations, especially if you are facing someone who hasnt played the franchise before.
I wanted to play this game because of the achievements get unlocked as you normally progress through the single player campaign. This is an awesome game even though it is a little older.
8.5/10

Guitar Hero II
I have decided to create a review of GH2. This is the game that opened my eyes to the guitar wielding fun. This game, though developed by differnt people than GH3, is an amazing game. The game is essntially the some concept as GH3 but GH3 is much more polished.
GH2 was created for the PS2 and so when ported to the 360, it looks crappy. The gameplay is a little more still, which the notes do not give as much and it is too hard to do hammerons and pulloffs. If you have played it, you know.
The menus in game are a step down from the GH3 i love. The songs do not have the singers underneath it, so a person wanted to know who sings the song has to either, a)play it or b) wait like 4 seconds and try to guess who it sounds like. The online multiplayer, is well, none. There are leaderboards to check your score with everyone else's. (which is a little disheartening)
This game, through its flaws, made me the rocker i am today, so it will just get a nice little star.

Madden 09
Ok, my roommates and I have put in a lot of hours playing videogames. The one videogame that we have co-oped the most is Madden 08. So the game thats we are collectivly waiting on is Madden 09. Here is a trailer...
F.E.A.R.
FEAR is a game that is very suspenseful. It has got to be one of the scariest games I have ever played.
You play an Elite soldier that has the task of figuring out what happened at a certain facility. This is more of an experimentation lab. You continuously have flashbacks. The story unfolds as the sension keeps getting higher.
The worst part about the game is a small little girl that keeps trying to attack you. She will occasionally jump out at you and scare the crap out of whoever is watching the television.
This is also a game that a friewnd can watch you play and still get scared just watching.
8/10

Super Mario Kart
By Tori Farmer
Super Mario Kart is amazing. The best part about it is the Grand Prix, and Yoshi is definitely my favorite driver. I think Princess Peach is the worst, and I hate the bananas. I think they are the most pointless form of use for battle. But they keep it interesting. Also, I'm addicted to Mario Kart wii. It is so much more fun to actually feel like you're driving the cars.

NBA Live 08
This is a review by an experienced videogame player of basketball. Trust his judgment.
Live 08 is one of the smoothest playing basketball games on the market. Limited time with NBA 2K8 may be the reason that I was never sold on it, but by far Live is better. The game play is near the same speed of what the real game plays like. Shooters get hot and cold and of course there are unstoppable franchises just as any sport game has. The Celtics, just as in real life are unstoppable and could be titled as completely unfair. Room for improvement lies in the effort players put out to save loose balls from going out of bounds. No effort whatsoever is given to saving the ball, they simply walk out of bounds, bend over at the waist and pick it up. Another glitch is the fact that an overwhelming amount of shots hit the back of the backboard causing an out of bounds call. It's somewhat frustrating, but nothing too serious. Overall I give it a 9/10 with some room for improvement.
