Xbox 360 Games - Product Reviews

zoglog - (November 30, 2005) Let me start first off by saying that I'm not a hardcore racing game fan. However I have played a decent share of racing games from Forza and GT4 to Burnout and NFS. I never passed many of the courses on all of the above games and probably the racing game i've played the most is Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. The most noticeable at first and one of the most amazing parts about this game are the graphics. The levels are amazingly detailed and accurate. This is probably one of the reasons why for the limited locales in the game. Each locale has a decent amount of tracks but of course it never hurts to have more locales to make things more interesting. I took the time to slowly cruise throug

zoglog - (April 20, 2006) Currently I've clocked in around 9 hours in this game but I have a pretty good feel of the pros and cons present in the game. First off the graphics are pretty impressive and make good use of the 360's power. The quality is comparable to the PC version but is not quite like the PC version on max quality like the devs claimed. Despite the very long draw distances, the textures far off are noticeably unimpressive which provides an extremely disturbing contrast. My biggest gripe is with the framerate outside. Perhaps I've been spoiled by the smooth framerates in Call of duty but I expected it to run @30 FPS at least at all times. However in many locales outside I find myself with the FPS droppi

zoglog - (November 13, 2006) There's all sorts of buzz in the air around Gears of War. Typically you'll see the game associated with phrases like "OMG that's Gorgeous" or "!%@!ing awesome". On the surface, Gears of War definitely does impress with presentation and graphics. The game feels and plays like a cinematic movie with non-stop action and fury. Needless to say, if you want a game that will visually impress anyone, look no further than Gears of War. Now granted no matter how pretty a game is, it still doesn't make a game great. I'm happy to say that Gears of War is a solid game underneath as well. Both Campaign modes and Multiplayer modes control relatively the same. The only difference in multiplayer is tha

fwatkoskey27 - (10/18/2009) I bought a "like-new" call of duty world at war and it does not load properly. I would really like to get my money back.

Blitzers - (08/26/2009) Great game with nice graphics that brings the game to life. Fighting is awesome, but you can kill many men with counterattack. But overall it's a great game. My advice; Buy it.

mj_f - (07/16/2009) Most games based on kids' movies follow the pattern of being sub-par games that try to ride the coattails of wildly popular movies and end up selling better than they should because of the licence. Surprisingly, that's not the case with Spiderwick Chronicles. While the movie was decent enough, it was somewhat overlooked. The game, meanwhile, is actually pretty good and would be a decent game even if it had nothing to do with the movie. It is an action/adventure game with equal parts platforming, item collecting, cmobat, and puzzle solving. It has a nice learning curve for younger players though older players might not find it too interesting (these games are always good for easy achievement points though).
