Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto - Double Pack (Xbox)

from: Rockstar

January 02, 2004
The Grand Theft Auto series seems to be something everyones played. And it would seem now that many gamers are still playing this classics, that have 'thankfully' been brought over to the xbox. Apart some smoother graphics, and quicker load times, the game keeps what made it so special - a whole world for you to explore. And its yours!
Yep, you don't even have to do the missions to enjoy GTA. Afterall, how many gamers can say they've never been with mates, and made up their own challenges? Whether it be.. "Who can make it across 'that' bridge on GTA 3" or "Who can shoot down the most police helicopters". The game just seems to go on, and you rarely get tired.
GTA III feels and looks alot more darker than Vice City, with it being ... Read More:

Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360)

from: Rockstar

April 29, 2008
Its simple, if you have played any of the GTA series then this is a must buy.

Its truely a great game, a few bugs but that does not take anything away from it. The protagonist is believable and so is the situation.

You start off as a Russian immigrant to Liberty City who comes over to start a new life with fat cousin. His cousin boasts about all the women, cars and houses he has so you willingly go over to the US but you find out that its loads of rubbish. You decide that you have to fight for a living and everything starts from there.

Its worth the money, its a great game.

Xbox Official Controller S

from: Microsoft

November 01, 2002
The Xbox controller this size is very good size. Its comfortable, its got a good rumble pack and its the best Controller for Xbox except perhaps the Wireless version. The colours and design on this COntroller is also very nice, but the Controller breaks easily. I have 4 Xbox controllers. 1 came with my Xbox and it now has the problem that the Controller things that im pressing the Right Trigger all the time. An annoying problem for games like Halo, Shooting everything accidentely. The other controller thinks im moving the right Joystick thing to the right slightly all the time (not too bad) the other one is fine actually and the last one doesnt work at all really. It keeps on saying (Please Re-Insert Controller and Press Start) ALL THE TIME. Annoying...

Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas - Classics (Xbox)

from: Rockstar


This game is just superb. i could finish the review right there and hope that people would just go out and experience all the small things that make the game wonderful for themselves. when i first bought this game i knew i was in for a treat as rockstars GTA series hardly ever puts a foot wrong. the fact you can customise your character by buying different clothes, trying out different haircuts, eating and working out just shows a very small bit of the variety of this game.

There are many a missions for you to have a go at and the difficulty is just about right. i finished the game a little while ago and can still go back and play it for hours. one of the best improvements since vice city is the much bigger variety of bikes, cars, planes and boats. the car ...

True Crime: New York City (Xbox)

from: Activision

November 25, 2005
This is one of the oddest games Ive ever played on Xbox. On the one hand the game handles very badly and has BIG problems with lag, and it also freezes totally every now and then. But on the other hand the drive through New York City with some cool 1970/1980 tracks is very realistic and atmospheric at times. Don't expect GTA quality though!

Driver: Parallel Lines (Xbox)

from: Atari

March 24, 2006
When i read the review I had a vision of a game that was infinitely better and improved over its predocesser...

The truth is it is not.
Although it improves in some areas, such as the heat only being given to your car and Driver going back to its routes it still suffers some very simple problems.

AI and the police have been improved to be able to follow better through traffic, however they will get you for the simplest things! sometime, you stop at an intersection (to avoid being chased) and a police car hits you from behind chasing someone else and then promtply chases you because you went through a red light?

They will also get you for pulling a gun out whilst driving which is easily done when pulling a hand brake turn and accidentally ... Read More:

Half-Life 2 (Xbox)

from: Electronic Arts

November 18, 2005
OK, first things first, if you have an Xbox 360, get The Orange Box, or if you have a powerful enough PC, get the PC version, they're better and offer more.

THAT BEING SAID...

When you consider the system it's running on, this is an amazing achievement. Sure, the frame rate can drop, and it looks worse than the other versions I mentioned, but it still looks very nice, and plays incredibly well.

If you can only play this on the Xbox, please do yourself a favour and get it.

Manhunt (Xbox)

from: Rockstar

April 23, 2004
I don't give a flying circus whether anyone thinks that this is a bad game for whatever reason they do, whether it is because they say it is just a poor version of Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell etc. (which is totally unfair as it not trying to be those games in any way and the only thing that is similar is that this is a stealth game) or just too sick and trying to be as violent as possible just to create controversy or being too boring, whatever their reason, if they don't like the horror genre then they should simply avoid it as they can't possibly appreciate what makes this game so brilliant.

Although this is a violent game, the violence is a bonus, this does not make the game scary, it is the atmosphere, the synth soundtrack, the dark shadowy setting, claustrophobia, locations ... Read More:

The Warriors (Xbox)

from: Rockstar

October 21, 2005
I must confess to never watching the film - the main reason I bought this game was that I have been waiting for a good free roaming beat 'em up since the Streets of Rage games on the Mega Drive. The genre has never successfully made the transition into 3D before The Warriors.

Intitially, I was slightly underwhelmed by this game. The opening training mission was great for introducing the controls (which are very good) and characters but the second proper mission is far too long, drawn out and boring. After that's done the game really picks up and is so hard to put down.

The sheer variety of gameplay and objectives on offer is impressive - it's not just mindless fighting from start to finish. You may have to cause as much destruction in a certain area as possible, spray tag The ... Read More:
