Xbox 360 64 MB Memory unit (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

December 02, 2005
The sole purpose of me buying these Memory Unit's is one word, "Backup". I always backup my saved data because if my consoles die or go out with a bang, I always have something small around me which has the backup data, and it helps me get back into business rather than starting from scratch!

This Memory Unit is for the XBox 360 Console, it's 64MB and it can store any type of data you acquire for backup. Because of it's size though, you are quite limited to what you want to backup as certain retail games have saved data from about 1MB or even more. BioShock alone requires 15MB per saved game. The Orange Box is another game, which requires big data space, 10MB per saved game!

Because of this reason I use the unit for ... Read More:

Xbox 360 20 GB Hard Drive (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

December 02, 2005
The 20gb drive has all the space you'll need to download extra maps, game modes ect as well as loads of xbox live arcade games and videos etc. There's no set price for the 120gb model in the uk as yet, and after using an xbox 360 for some time it's reasonable to say that all that space will be wasted except for the most hardcore of the hardcore, or those who wish to fill it with mp3's, which I would guess most tech freaks already have stored on their pc. So if your xbox 360 is hdless then this is the way to go. Expensive, yes, worth it, yes.

Xbox 360 wired controller

from: Microsoft

December 02, 2005
This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a decent controller for my computer which would be durable (unlike my old one) and had 2 analogue sticks and 2 analogue triggers (very useful for driving games like need for speed). The only other one I found with 2 analogue triggers was one by Logitech but it was much more expensive.

Being actually designed for use with a console by the first party producer of the console you know it cannot be a bad product and, as it's Microsoft, you know it will work without any problems with your PC. If on Vista you do not even need to download the drivers, just connect the controller to a USB port and it will auto-install itself.

I prefer the wired version because:
1) it's cheaper ... Read More:

Gears of War (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

November 16, 2006
The gears of war campaign is amazing especially in coop. Great grpahics, gameplay and AI along with a great cinematic storyline. Online play is brilliant and more tactical than other games if only there were more online matches left

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)

from: Take 2 Interactive

March 24, 2006
More Than 5*

One word to desribe this game: !!!!AMAZING!!!
The graphics is the example of next generation gaming. The best examples of graphics is the sky and transition of lighting, you can't beat it. But what makes this game stand out is its level of detail. Books upon books that is full of detail which people unfortunally never read. The world is extremly detailed, no part of a wood looks the same, and always unique. But what makes this different from other games is that all the conversations is fully spoken, not just text scrolling across the bottom. This is rare in these types of games and it is done exceptionally. The lip-syncing in this game is the BEST i have ever seen! And did you know that half of the data on the disk is sound? ...

Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

December 02, 2005
Attractive, comfortable, nice weight and welcome inclusion of rumble all make this a great controller. Unfortunately, I can only give it three stars due to - and bare with me, fanboys, till you see my reasoning - the PS3 controller.

I won't compare the layouts of the controllers because that comes down to personal preference. Some are more comfortable with Microsoft's layout and some with Sony's - that's up to you - and Sony's is only lighter due to the lack of dualshock.

The Sixaxis functionality of the PS3 controller is also yet to be properly implemented - there are some good attempts and some abject failures - but it does add an extra element to games and can be fun. And the one advantage the 360 controller currently has over the ... Read More:

Dead Rising (Xbox 360)

from: Capcom

September 08, 2006
this game can get VERY annoying due to its stupid save system. you can wander around for ages looking for a save point, and just not find one. then you die.... otherwise, this game is awsome. i love hacking up the zombies in a sea of blood :) its just a shame that there is this one major flaw

Call of Duty 3 (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

November 10, 2006
CoD3 is a massive let down. Its the one bad apple in an overwise brilliant series. You never feel like your part of anything, you dont have the scale or openess of any of the other CoD games. CoD3 is full of glithe's and poor programing, add to that the verging on retarded A.I and you really do question the logic in playing this game. I've owned it for god knows how long and have got no where near completing it, I see neither the insentive or need to do so. The only reason why iv'e not traded it in is that i would only get a few quid for it.
If you like this game you either have a low brain capacity or are an avid world war game nut.

FIFA 07 (Xbox 360)

from: Electronic Arts

October 27, 2006
When your good at this game after practice you can put the difficulty all the way up and outplay the best teams in the world with incredibly fast paced football, although not like real football this is still incredibly fun in my opinion better than fifa 08 which is just like the premier league football we see on TV. The reason i prefer 07 is because i don't necesarily always want to play build up football i may be angry with a team and just want to tear them apart and score great goals past them, which is why i like this game. When i want realism then nothing can beat fifa 08 unless your a Pro evo fan because you will probably already have unjustified bad opinions of fifa.

Saints Row (Xbox 360)

from: THQ

I got my copy of Saints Row recently because a few friends of mine were talking about how fun it is on Xbox Live, So i decided to give it ago, managed to pick a copy up for 20 pounds and it was..

Great!

The online mode was really good, you can customise your character so much, nobody will ever look the same!

You can earn money for playing ranked games online, and spend it in the store for new clothes.

There are some clothes packs you can download from Xbox Live.

Single Player

I haven't really played to much, but from what i've played, you can rob stores, and many more cool things that GTA:SA doesn't have.

So i would think of it as a new GTA before VI :)
