Rock Band: Solus (Xbox 360)

from: Electronic Arts

May 23, 2008
Anyone that bad mouths this game really cant understand what its about, basically if you love music, with origional recordings which are much better than any covers that can be made (Guitar Hero) makes this game by far the best of its kind out there to dat, good track list all well known good songs, unlike the new guitar hero which has gone for all the B sides i mean why? whats the point in that? Rock Band FTW!

Rock Band 2 (Xbox 360)

from: Electronic Arts

November 21, 2008
I like this game its a good game i enjoyed playing rb1 thoroughly BUT i do also enjoy the guitar hero series and in comparison i think they're both in the same league running along side each other so Lets not argue about which ones best lets just play these great games and not make a fuss. Guitar hero gives you the custom song while rb2 gives you more songs and they're both seemingly endless series. you should buy both if your going to buy any but if your deciding what pack to buy go for guitar hero's no offense to the rock band 2s set but come on gh's is much better

Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

November 07, 2008
I expected to be amazed, to be wowed, to be dazzled.

But the campaign seemed tepid. The immediacy and intimacy of the first game was gone. And there was this infernal yapping. So much... story.

The goofball designers made a poor judgment in thinking that ANY SINGLE ONE OF US buys this game because we care about the story.

I, along with millions of others, bought this game so that I can slaughter monsters with a chainsaw and use satellites to rain thermonuclear death onto gigantic armoured spiders.

Take my advice and, like in the movies, cut to the action: skip all the cut scenes at all times. Magically, the game instantly becomes fun, and endlessly replayable. In fact, it never lets up, because ... Read More:

Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock with Wireless Guitar Controller (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

November 23, 2007
My kids have thoroughly enjoyed this game - all it's billed to be BUT beware. As noted by other reviewers there is a design fault with the guitar. We bought the game in March from Amazon and after the guitar stopped working properly and a lot of ringing round we eventually were directed to Activision whose response is...buy a new one. The guarantee is only 90 days - is this mentioned anywhere when you pay £65 for the game? This is a known fault so why are the manufacturers not playing fair and replacing the faulty items??

Enjoy the game but you have been warned!

A quick update and a thank you to Amazon for once again superb customer service. Copied my complaint to them and they have agreed to replace the faulty game - can't say ... Read More:

Fable II (Xbox 360)

from: Microsoft

October 24, 2008
I should preface my review by saying that this game started out as a hell of a lot of fun and easily one of the best games I have played on the X-box....for the first 8 hours or so anyway, until it kept freezing up and wouldn't let me play. Now it's completely unplayable - it won't even install to my hard drive because the disc is unreadable. I understand that this is a pretty widespread issue and that, furthermore, Lionhead has done absolutely nothing about it. So I'm left with a 40 quid beer coaster. How disappointing. However, I went out and bought Fallout 3 instead, which is a brilliant game and comes thoroughly recommended by me.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

September 19, 2008
basically,my review is pretty much the same as most here.great to look at,the cut scenes are eye popping.the gameplay,however,is clumsy.combos? please!what combos? its just button mashing at best.once finished, i was left with "that it?"
if you really want this, wait until the price really comes down,because it certainly doesnt warrant an above tenner prrice tag.
very disappointd.and im a huge star wars fan.

Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

November 14, 2008
COD 4 is so much better than the new COD 5. I think in COD 5 the single player game is to short, and has a really bad ending. Yes the flame thrower is fun, but just makes the game to easy. Cod 5 online is also poor compared to Cod 4, the weapons are boring and the maps are poor. i really looked forward to this game, but in the end was dissapointed. I hope in the future when Cod 6 is realeased they come back to modern warfare, as im fed up with the same old world war 2 games.

Madcatz Rock Band: Drum Skinz (Xbox 360)

July 11, 2008
Hi,

I'm from germany and haven't found a drum silencer set
out there yet so i baught @amazon.co.uk

I like it very much till now, and dont feel any loss of sensity
on the medium difficulty. these neopren/rubber pads work great
and the "clack,clack,clack" sound of drummin on plastic is now
much more silent "dunk,dunk,dunk" ^^
normally i play with earphones on, without the pads i
heared the "clack,clack" and with them i now hear nothin.

the only important thing i would recommend is to make really sure
every pad fits excellent on the drums, because if there is just
little air between the pads and the drums, the sound reduce isnt
existent, but if they are installed right its fun to play.

Guitar Hero: World Tour - Band Bundle (Xbox 360)

from: Activision

November 14, 2008
Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.

Go to electronicgifts.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!)

If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my SatNav, Wii, PS3, iPod Touch and many other things this way, so don't miss out.

I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

Many items to choose from and they send your gift Free of charge.
